Free Republic

Something seems a little fishy here. First, Barack Obama says he is rushing home to Hawaii to his critically ill grandmother. It takes him three days to “rush” to her side. He arrives early Friday morning to spend an hour with her. Friday evening, U.S. District Judge R. Barclay Surrick tosses out a lawsuit brought by Philip J. Berg claiming Obama was born in Africa. Now the governor of Hawaii seals Obama’s birth records. If there is nothing to hide and he was actually born in Hawaii, why seal the records? There is too much cover up here. It seems...

Hi there. I voted for Obama, but have been reading a lot of Freerepublic lately to see how the other side is reacting. I'm not trying to troll here - honestly - but if you feel I am, that's understandable. I just wanted to offer a perspective on this that I think may be interesting to some of you. Oh, and this is much longer than I intended. And I'm fairly certain I'm not posting this the right way...for which I apologize. When Bush was elected in 2000, I was upset. And yes, I whined about him "stealing" the election....

Newsweek’s Evan Thomas and Jon Meacham shared a bizarre Obama love-fest session with Charlie Rose on the PBS host’s program on Wednesday. Meacham stated that he was "very struck watching the stagecraft" of Obama and pointed out how Obama gave his victory speech by himself: "...[H]ave you ever seen a victory speech where there was no one else on stage? No adoring wife, no cute kid -- he is the message." Thomas went one step further in this vein: "There is a slightly creepy cult of personality about all of this." Rose confronted him on his use of this phrase,...

The media haven't done enough to tell us who Barack Obama really is. "After all this time with him, I still can't say with certainty who he is," wrote Peter Nicholas of the Los Angeles Times on Tuesday about Mr. Obama, with whom he's spent roughly 18 hours a day for most of this campaign.

RUSH: Now, on Charlie Rose Show last night on PBS. Are they doing their pledge drive yet? Is PBS doing their drive? Because, you know, "Without your Pledge, we cannot dust." He had on Tom Brokaw last night, ladies and gentlemen. Here's a montage. Now, this is last night. As you listen to this, keep in mind everything you've heard from Brokaw and others in the Drive-Bys can for the past six months, three months, two months or whatever. This is a montage of Charlie Rose and Brokaw trying to figure out who Obama is. ROSE: I don't know what...

The quote (in which Biden specifically says France and the European leaders KNOW Saddam has weapons) is at 14:17. But Biden spends some more time attempting to convince the audience that the burden is on Saddam to prove he doesn't have the weapons. You can see Biden develop his argument if you have a few minutes to watch the video from 12:00 to 14:30.

Nice, short 3 min interview. I believe it occured last fall in conjunction with AZ gov Napolitono(who is not supporting Palin) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZlWnCcBFpo

Compare this to [1] Huckabee’s view on waterboarding. From the [2] Charlie Rose interview: Thompson: I’m telling you, as President, if the lives of a bunch of American citizens were at stake and I thought that there was a good chance that an individual had information and could impart information that would help save those lives, I’m just saying, that I would do whatever is necessary to get that information from that person. I would authorize that. Whatever is necessary to save a number of American lives. Thanks to Cuffy who says this locks up the [3] Jack Bauer Caucus....

It's on here in the Midwest now .. just started. Talking about politics, the election, his new book

Kilcullen: "I think we have found over the last three or four years of evolution of the conflict in Iraq that the more we focus on the population and protecting them, the easier it is to deal with the enemy. The more we focus on the enemy, the harder it is to actually get anything done with the population. " "WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO EXPAND ON THAT? BECAUSE YOU'RE FROWNING."

This is really fascinating. Check out the VIDEO of Charlie Rose interviewing Michael Crichton on the subject of Global Warming. The Global Warming discussion starts at exactly 22 minutes into the video.

Soros is a real sleaze. Tune in to the Good Time Charlie Rose Show, on publicly funded (taxpayer funded) PBS to hear the evil of Soros (and Good Time Charlie).

I am getting nauseated watching the lovefest of William F. Buckley and Good-Time Charlie Rose. I can't take it anymore. Would someone please let me know if there is anything constructive I missed, if you have the stomach to watch.

Colin will discuss, among other things, the events leading up to the War with Iraq.

LORENZO ALBACETE ON THE NEW POPE AND THE FUTURE OF THE CHURCH Who is Benedict XVI, and where does he want to take the Catholic Church? On the day the new pope was elected, Charlie Rose interviewed Monsignor Lorenzo Albacete, a leading Catholic theologian and a friend of John Paul II, and asked him that question. The answers may surprise you. By Charlie Rose CHARLIE ROSE: Monsignor Lorenzo Albacete was a friend of Pope John Paul II and I am especially pleased to have him at this table to help us understand the selection of the new pope and what...

EDWARD KENNEDY SENATOR (D-MA) AND A DISCUSSION ABOUT BLOGS with GLENN REYNOLDS, University of Tennessee Editor, Instapundit.com ANA MARIE COX, Editor, Wonkette.com ANDREW SULLIVAN, Senior Editor, The New Republic Andrewsullivan.com JOE TRIPPI, Former Campaign Manager for Howard Dean Author, "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" / Joetrippi.com

Anybody watching this?? It should be required viewing for all swing voters. It's a roundtable discussion with a trio of leftists from "The Nation". The fetching Katrina is there and some guy called a "Peace & Disarment" Correspondent-saying we need to "accept defeat in Iraq" and disengage from the War on Terror--says Kerry not perfect--but will get us closer to these goals. Now they've rolled out Frank Rich and Fran Lebwoitz bashing Bush for being a Christian and not hiding it.

CHARLIE ROSE: All right. Stay with me. John Edwards has joined us. The senator from North Carolina, a Democrat in the Senate. Senator Edwards, tell me the mood in Washington and the feeling for what they -- senators and congress people -- might want the president to say and to do. I mean is there a sense of what kind of resolution the Congress might be called on by its leadership to pass tomorrow? Sen. JOHN EDWARDS (D-NC): Well, Charlie, I think what happened is the mood in Washington changed over the course of the day. I just dropped my...

Part 2 of the inteview with Michael Moore about his movie was aired tonight on Charlie Rose. During the interview, Moore tossed out a statistic about Republican voters during a discussion regarding Moore's opinion about President Bush's intellect. Moore, like most liberals, always underestimates Bush. It was interesting that Moore attempted to transfer his opinion to conservative Republicans. The statistic that he tossed out was that something like 47% of Republicans would never vote for a Democrat regardless of the circumstances or the candidates. Moore was suggesting that this reflects a lack of credible thinking on the part of those...

Charlie Rose's poll is currently 52% yes, 48% no. And how may Freepers watch Charlie Rose (besides myself)? One, maybe two. What this all means is: leftists are split on the need for the U.N.! Give Good-Time Charlie's poll a nice Freeper Bump!
