CNN knows the Clintons own these two. It is hysterical they are made to muzzle them.

I don’t see how this helps Obama.

CNN has told top Dem strategists James Carville, Paul Begala, and Robert Zimmerman -- who are CNN mainstays but are all Hillary supporters -- that they will not be doing any more political analysis on the network until the Democratic primary has reached a conclusion.
Anyone see the hypocrisy in this?
These two Democrat partisans are only being banned until the Democrat primary is settled, rather than the entire 2008 election.
Apparently pimping for one Democrat over another during the Democrat primary is off-limits on CNN, but not pimping for Democrats over Republicans in the general election.

Carville is back on Hillary’s payroll from what I hear. How can he act as an analyst without bias?

Bagala may be in the same boat.

I’m just surprised CNN will act on this matter. They’ve been in bed with the Clinton’s more times than any other broad has been.

Great point!

The thing about going to bed with Bill Clinton is the women generally don’t repeat that mistake.

I may have to crossover for Obama right now. If he can shut Carville up for four years, he could get my vote. Hubby says, “He is showing himself to be a formiddable candidate.” This is high praise.

CNN is in bed with whoever CNN believes has the best chances of furthering the neo-communist, anti-American agenda.

Yeah, these two assho!es get plenty of praise from the MSM and I've often wondered why. Krintong got 43% of the vote in '92 and 48% in '96, hardly what could be deemed overwhelming.

Seems to me no Perot, no Clinton...and frankly I think the same holds true this time around. Hillary loses without third-party candidate help.

How I wish, FNC would do the same for Geraldo “The Fake”.

If Edwards had made the same request, CNN would have laughed in his face. But CNN will do whatever Obama wants because Obama is black, and to deny his request - - any request - - would be racist.

I wouldn’t do it. If he’s their guy the general election will focus 100% on Islam. The philosophical tenants will be thoroughly discussed involving the idea that being born to a Muslim fathered family automatically makes descendants a muslim. They are born into the slavery and there’s no debate. So he’s a muslim apostate and all that comes it. That’ll be the entire election focus. Should be fun.

Up to this point the powers that be have pretty much held this card. But it’s there and all it takes is for the press to pick up on it. He’s a muslim and he hasn’t addressed directly his apostate status. I’d love to have a true apostate telling the rest of the muslim world you aren’t automatically a muslim because you are born into a muslim household. See that’s the whole argument,everything. In the west you have choice and in the muslim word you’re fate is decided before you are born. To act in any way contrary to this fate is to be blasphemous to your maker. That make you a criminal in Muslim society.

Whatever.

As the wheels come off the economy the truth will become obvious.

Romney is our anointed savior.

If Hillary gets the nod will they still be banned, or will they be brought back to trash the Republican candidate? Rhetorical question of course.

If there is a reason to ban them now, why does it stop after the primaries are over? Yea, I know why.
