Eleanor Clift's a witch! As soon as I saw her as the source of the article I tuned out.

Unbelievable. So arrogant, self absorbed, just don't get it.

 

That's why they smugly refer to themselves as (ahem) "intellectuals".

"I think conservatives ought to quit trying to intimidate the rest of the media," said Eleanor Clift

Chill the champagne! We are winning:)

And FOXNews had almost 10 Million viewers last night! Thanks, CBS!

you quote Greenfield called Schieffer "about as straight a shooter I know

In Jan '88 Greenfield spoke at College of DuPage, IL. Afterwards, us junkies gathered around him for more. I made the comment that Pat Robertson had a lot of support in the area (of Wheaton College and Evangelical central).

Greefield told us Don't worry. We'll do a Swaggart on Robertson in Iowa and he won't know what hit him.

If I recall correctly, Greenfield & friends then reported on the weekend before the caucuses that Pat Robertson was caught in a sex scandal. The headlines belabored the scandal. If you turned to continued below the obits, it seems Pat Robertson Jr had been born to Pat Robertson Sr's wife of 40 years only 8 months after the wedding or something like that. That was the scandal. Prior to that scandal Robertson had been running strong. After the the headlines, his support evaporated. His followers never went to the caucuses.

That is the ethics of Greenfield.

No, Eleanor, the MSM should quit trying to intimidate and undermine conservatives.

Bingo!

Ever since this &%#@$! compared the House Impeachment managers to the KKK, I have simply changed the channel when her mug appears on my television.

For the life of me, I don't understand why she is considered an "opinion maker." She is almost invariably wrong on any prediction or analysis.

Better get used to it doofuses, because there's a lot more where that came from.

When you decided to be the news rather than simply reporting it, you declared war on the rest of us. Better get used to abuse because you have seen nothing yet.

Maybe you should team up with "Seeking the Truth" who does the FReep stuff and expand the line. How about pajamas with your logo with something like "Pajama Brigade" or "Pajama Posse" added, along with screen name?

We've been in contact already, and the possibilities are endless. eg, ANY shirt could have the "badge" affixed as a badge or enlarged to form more of a "statement" ;^)

I don't know how far along "Seeking the truth" is, so there may or may not can be any changes in the original graphic. But I can play around all I want...

       

Thoughts?

CBS News correspondent Bob Schieffer

If it was Bob Schieffer, Managing Partner at Arhtur Andersen, or Bob Schieffer, CEO of an oil company, I wonder how the media types would characterize him.

The only fair moderator I can think of is Brian Lamb.

What bags, if I had dogs with faces like theirs, I would shave their behinds and make them walk backwards.

I would find some strong rope, a burlap sack and a slow moving river.

"We have all been through this. It's embarrassing. They have to figure out how it happened," Greenfield said.

Jeff Greenfield STILL hasn't figured out "what happened."

Here you go, Jeff - - Dan Rather, Mary Mapes, and CBS wanted so badly to smear George W. Bush prior to the election that they willingly put forth documents which, they were warned, may not be authentic in order to embellish and support their interview with one Ben Barnes, a Travis County Democrat and big-time Kerry fundraiser, who made some very unflattering claims ("lies" according to Barnes' own daughter) about Bush's Guard service.

Everybody in the country knows exactly "what happened" but Greenfield still hasn't figured it out.
What a simple clown. No wonder I never see him on TV anymore....

So the likes of a Newsweek Editor feels "intimidated by conservatives"? What did we do to the poor dear, other than hit him in the face with some facts we found lying around unused. But okay, he feels bad. There's a quick cure.

We just continue to beat him (and his friends) over the head with fact, facts, and more facts. Eventually he'll decide to go into a line of work more attuned to his skills -- used car sales, Vegematic sales on TV, Terry McAuliffe's job when he gets fired on 3 November....

Can you make me up one like the left hand one that says "Billybob" at the bottom instead of "DEPUTY"? Please, please, pretty please? I vouch, cross my heart and hope to die that I was in my pajamas and participating when Buckhead made his famous post #47.

"CBS stepped up and said, 'Well, we discovered that the documents weren't so.'..."

Anyone not blinded by liberalism or other forms of insanity had "discovered" ten days earlier that the documents had to be fake, could only be fake, could not in any way be real. CBS took ten days to discover, not that the documents are fake, but that, contrary to its previous reassurances, their authenticity cannot be easily proven. CBS intends to hide in that limbo of supposed uncertainty at least until after the election.

CBS was not honest then and is not being honest now. Its performance was and is there for all to see.

Sheesh Congressman, the only thing missing was a little bowing and scraping ;^)
