CNN calls conservatives' rejection of McCain "Trotskyism"
CNN | 2008-02-05 | CNN

I just turned on CNN, and they're defending McCain like crazy. One of the anchors just quoted Dobson's comments critical on McCain, and said that there's "a kind of Trotskyism" in the Republican party by conservatives to unfairly target him. Anyone else catch that?

So does that make McCain the equivalent of Lenin, or Stalin?

CNN are a lot of empty talking heads. What has Trotskyism to do with conservatism? They’re just worried that the conservatives aren’t falling into line behind their “acceptable” Republican, like the ‘rats do theirs, because they’re sheep.

O’Reilly had Huckabee on yesterday, I believe it was yesterday, and Huckabee was saying that Romney called for Huckabee to get out of the race. When Huckabee said he heard it through CNN, O’Reilly then told him not to believe everything he hears from those other networks, lol. It was a good point, ask to see exactly what the guy said before jumping on him. Media has a tendency to put their own interpretation on what’s said.

Both. (I was thinking he was more like the Rosenbergs)

CNN isn’t even a news network. It’s an activist group with access to television.

Friends don’t let friends watch CNN.

I’m sorry, dear, it’s too late for Fred. Vote for someone that is actually available to be President.

It wouldn’t be the first time one of the talking heads at CNN used a word of whose meaning he hadn’t a clue. The only people left alive who admire Communism are those who haven’t a clue as to its actual history.

Wonder what they’d called Dems who would complain if Zell Miller was their nominee-in-waiting?

hahahha!

I’m sure the irony of that is beyond the comprehension of the Clinton News Network desk!

CNN has been a shill for McCain for years. They know exactly what just about every other right-thinking American knows - McCain's brand of 'conservatism' would be the death knell for a GOP already on ideological life support.

A bit too late to hire Fred to coach the team- with the first half nearly over

Actually, I think CNN is far more pro-Obama than pro-Clinton. CNN seems to promote both Obama and McCain, like most of the MSM.

That makes CNN the Goebels Propoganda arm of the NAZI state machine.

I’m not up enough on Commie trivia to even understand what the hell they mean.

But tell you what... if anyone knows the fine points of Communism, it would be CNN!
