Zell's speech and the interview with Chrissy reminded me of Pat Buchanan in '92 and Al Campanis on Nightline.
Angry speech. Could have delivered exactly the same speech, BUT SMILE A LITTLE!!!!!!!!
He was mis-hearing Chrissy due to poor audio and background noise...but no excuse... his reaction does not sell with Indy's...only with us red-meat types.
I have a very bad feeling...thank goodness that MSNBC has poor ratings, but everyone saw the speech.
And before you flame me, just think about what Freepers' reactions would have been to Buchanan's pathetic diatribe in '92. They would have been praising it to high heaven and talking about the total decapitation of the liberal wackjobs.
Now flame away.
ANy other thoughts?
Thank you, I will. Reading the ratings, apparently less than 1 million people view MSNBC a night in this segment. (When Alan Keyes had his show, nightly viewer were usually somewhere between 100-200 thousand) I'm not sure what all the hand-wringing is about tonight, but I think I know.
I'm coming late to the party here tonight, but the consensus of the worry about Miller's speech is that he was impassioned and angry. Old fashioned stem-winder speech, fire and brimstone...according to the spokesman from National Review. Well, maybe Zell Miller listened to the news today about Russia and terrorists seizing a school and holding hundreds of children and teachers hostage, threatening to kill fifty kids or twenty at a time. My first reaction on hearing that was sheer rage. A heartbeat later I was thinking, My God, they could do that here without much trouble...and I got even angrier. Maybe that's what fueled Zell Miller's rage. Here we are in the grip of a terrible war where the enemy is already among us, and PC crap rammed down our throat is choking our ability to defend this nation. Dropping the worst of the charges against those three terrorists today...now we can only get them on mail fraud if you please...because something about the way we prosecuted them isn't perfect. Hello! We're at war. That's the reality. This isn't cops and robbers time. The enemy isn't playing by the same rules here, and the RATs insisting that we pretend they simply plan to rob the corner Quickie-Mart is ludicrous and will get thousands of us killed. That should make the entire country mad as hell.
Finally Zell Miller gets up on his hind legs and calls a spade a spade and some people think he's not nice? They should get a grip. If Ronald Reagan, bless his soul, were alive and well today and spoke out about the war on terror, he'd castigate RATs, too. We're living through a nightmare, and what's going on in Russia tonight should be a wakeup call to the entire US.
