Larry Sabato on O'Rielly

Fox | 10/29/04 | redstate38

[redstate38]

Sabato says Bin laden tape was sent out as a recruiting tool for terrorist. Says terrorist want Bush to win election! (?????)

[MizSterious]

Sabato, who looks slimier every time he appears somewhere. And sounds even worse.

[SteveAustin]

Paula Zahn essentially was saying that the tape shouldn't be politicized, but that "is what Bush was doing with his latest remarks tonight......"

Said Kerry questioning this afternoon why we allegedly "outsourced" the OBL capture was a legitimate question.

She was referring to a rally tonight in Ohio were Bush said he was tired of the monday morning quarterbacking on OBL and said we didn't need it right now.

Zahn is a huge lib. I remember watching her silently crying next to Brit Hume on the Fox news desk during election night 2000.

[Avenger]

Osama bin Laden will claim victory regardless. That is their M.O. However, everyone knows that if Bush loses then the Islamofascists will be celebrating openly in the streets. If Bush wins they will declare a hollow victory from their caves.

"Zahn is a huge lib. I remember watching her silently crying next to Brit Hume on the Fox news desk during election night 2000."

did that really happen? I would pay good space bucks to see that.

[SteveAustin]

Great point...this election has literally smoked out all the liberals in the MSM.

Going forward we will now have two wings of media....left and right. No more posing by the Zahn's, Olberman's, Rathers of the world as unbiased "truth-seekers" working for the American people.

[ottothedog]

If the al qaeda types wanted Bush to win, they would cool it in Afghanistan and Iraq until after the election. Oddly, they have been doing everything they can to make it look like a mess over there.

[NittanyLion]

Meanwhile, Kerry surrogates are trying to spin this as an "Osama did this intentionally to make you hate Kerry & support Bush, so he REALLY wants you to vote for Bush, not Kerry, so you should vote for Kerry to spite him" while desperately trying to appear not to be that obvious.

They can try, but that's an impossible argument to make.

[SteveAustin]

I watched the Fox news coverage until about 3am in the morning back in November 2000. I remember Paula sitting there at the anchor desk in her skimpy red outfit, basically silent all night, while Brit kept getting excited about the news from Florida breaking Bush's way. She was not happy and said about 2 words all night.

People forget that Zahn was a big deal on FOX for a few years, until her liberal ideology pulled her to CNN.

[drpix]

Let me see if I get this right. OBL runs through all the Michael Moore, Bill Maher, Al Franken, John Kerry, Al Gore, Leftwing talking points. He hits on the 9/11 Bush goat story, the Bush stole the election in Florida, the Bush and corrupt Arab leaders, the comparison of suicide terrorist v. those who launch cruise missiles......all TO HELP BUSH WIN.

Then I guess all those American Bush haters were also out to help Bush. A LAUGHABLE LIE!

No one can be 100% sure of what the actual results of the these terrorist tapes or the propaganda of the American Bush haters will ultimately be. But one thing is obvious.
OBL and the American Bush haters say what they say for the same reason: they all consumed with hatred of Bush and they are desperate to drive him from office.

[Dysfunctional]

Probably on the Sunday talk shows the lefties will say that 9/11 was a reaction to Iraq.

Why not, the current undecided apparently don't know what happened when and the newsies will not challenge them.

Today I heard a Kerry headquarter babe say that there hadn't been a major war since the UN formed...

No challenge from Linda V on fox.

[A Balrog of Morgoth]

He said Bush is a great recruiting tool for Al-Q

The hell you say. He never said that.

There is some clown with Alan right now saying the tape reminds people that Bush didn't get Bin Laden yet. Now that's something to bitch about.

Now he's referencing Richard Clarke...sheesh..what spin.

[SteveAustin]

I thought I heard Sabato say Bush is a recruiting tool for AQ, or that this tape would help Bush, but maybe AQ wants to help Bush. That seems to be the dems talking points tonight...the tape is out now, because OBL wants Bush re-elected.

I KNOW that I just heard Ron Reagan Jr on MSNBC say that Bush is a great recruiting tool for AQ, because they need an enemy to hold up, and Bush is a perfect enemy for the Muslim world.

[redstate38]

Calm down, pal. Get a tape of the show, or a transcript.
He said it. also called it an election "mini-miracle" or some such nonsense.

[Danno]

Sabato was horrible ion Oreilly tonight. he kept repeating, and Oreilly stupidly kept letting it slip by, that Bush has been behind in the polls all year in the leelction year and may be making a 'miracle' come back? He said he may be the second Harry Truman who was behin din his election year and went on to win. This is the biggest piece of crap I have ever heard.

I haven't read through thei thread but I couldn't believe this crap. Sabato has all of his facts wrong and has to know he is making Bush look desperate, needing a miracle to win this? What in the world is this crap???

[A Balrog of Morgoth]

I just saw the replay of O'Reilly.

Yup, the esteemed Doctor did say that.

What a scumbag. And he needs to see an orthodontist ASAP. What an awful grill that man has.

[Danno]

I just read through this whole thread and only one other poster noticed how Sabato kept repeating the bull crap about Bush being behind all year, Bin Ladin tape giving him the 'miracle' he needs (among other mini-miracles). This is an absolute lie...Kerry only had momentum at one point and that was during the debates and even then he never overtook Bushin the polls. OReilly let him get by with this filth.

Is Sabato brain-damaged? What pisses me more than anything is OReilly never called him on this obvious piece of crap...

[Nosterrex]

I can't figure Sabato out. I really don't believe that he's in the tank for Kerry, but his opinions have certainly wavered on this election. I think that he bases his opinions on historical events, but he did say that if President Bush was reelected, he would be the only one since Truman to win after being down in the polls in the last year of his term.
