Hillary Supporter On Conference Call: Tim Russert 'Should Be Shot'
National Review Online ^ | 11/01/2007 | Jim Geraghty

Posted on 11/01/2007 5:16:44 PM PDT by Laissez-faire capitalist

Hillary Clinton

Another highlight from that conference call with Hillary strategist Mark Penn:

One caller from Oklahoma City said that "the questions ... were designed to incite a brawl," and that Russert's and Brian William's moderating was "an abdication of journalistic responsibility."

Another said Russert "should be shot," before quickly adding that she shouldn't say that on a conference call.

Penn and Mantz said they were hearing a lot of the same sentiment from other supporters, but they do not plan to engage the media or the debate's moderators...

Shot? What about journalistic freedom and freedom of speech?

Journalistic Responsibility? Do they mean they were responsible for making sure that all the Dems got softball questions or that Hillary should never, ever be asked questions that she can't mince words on, reduce to a game of semantics, or engage in triangulation with?

Will Chillary apologize to Tim Russert for what the conference caller said? Will she say go away from this campaign to her?

Typical liberal response. Slience all opposition. Free speech only applies to those who agree with the liberal mantra.

I agree. As a so-called journalist he should be shot, stuffed and mounted. But not for Tuesday night's performance. That was almost enough to redeem his journalistic integrity.

Boohoohoo.. what a bunch of little sissies. The democrats are so freaking protected by the media that an absolutely legitimate question is considered “inciting”. Ill tell you what inciting is, the whole of the Anti American left in this country. They should be glad that they are not swinging from gallows.

This reminds of the debate with Lazio that Hillary had when she was running for Senator. Much was made over that too. I am tired of her supporters acting victimized whenever Hillary is called to task for her traitor ways. I hope whoever the Republican Nominee is, I hope that he incites the debates as much as he can. And I really don’t want to hear any bitching, moaning and complaining from Hillary’s supporters. They are so protected, they just don’t like being forced to be confronted by the truth. They need to get used to it.

Yeah right, and next week the MSM(including Russert...he knows who butters his toast) will be telling everyone how Hilliary faced adversity for the first time in her campaign...and came out strong and victorious while showing the American people she IS battle tested and ready for the many challenges that a President will face.

Russert, Chris Matthews and the rest of the rich, liberal, elite Hampton's/NE caviar sucking media types?, LOL! give me a break, I've never bought their PC indoctrination snake oil brainwashing BS in the past, I'm not about to start buying it now.

This farce, liar, corruption filled, conniving, deceitful, shill of a candidate must be stopped, but these are definitely NOT the folks who you can trust to do the job. That'd be like trusting Michael Moore to watch over a bucket of chicken.

I agree completely.

I mean, if Hillary can’t handle tough questions or a challenge from the male Democrat pres. candidates, how the hell is she going to be able to stand up to male terrorists, thugs and third world dictators?

I heard the debate and thought Mr. Russert was too easy on her.

She didn’t give an answer to the question, didn’t even say she had no firm opinion on it. Just used the whole question to take a swipe at the president.

Russert should have pressed her.

It’s all Russert’s fault she shot herself in the foot.

Her narcissism reminds me of many of them like Bill and John “f”ing Kerry. (He was in Vietnam, you know).

At least we can thank her for not winding up an anger cackle on Holloween Eve.

I have seen various versions of this story, today.
Not one gives the name of the reporter who said Russert should be shot. MSM would have outed any conservative who said it. “journalists” my a$$.

Hillary’s devotees are not used to her being asked anything too upsetting.

They are more used to:

“Asked what she would be doing if she hadn’t entered politics on her own, the former First Lady replied, “maybe teaching, and writing, and working in philanthropic endeavors on behalf of kids here at home and around the world.”

The fact that Hillary has resorted already to the “everybody’s picking on me” defense smacks of discouragement.

I thought she would save the victim role until the general election campaign, not pull it out in the primaries.

It’s not going to play well to be a whining victim for a whole year.
