Jim Lehrer (PBS) ridicules Kerry for calling for filibuster from "the ski slopes"; Democrats furious
PBS ^ | January 27, 2006 | nwrep

Posted on 01/28/2006 9:55:11 AM PST by nwrep

Jim Lehrer, on his NewsHour program on PBS on Friday night, ridiculed John Kerry for calling for filibuster from "the ski slopes." Click the link above for the entire transcript. Liberal Mark Shields and conservative columnist David Brooks both joined Lehrer for some Kerry bashing.

This exchange is making left-wing radicals furious, who are now calling Mark Shields a "Republican stooge" and a "Fox News Democrat." One leftist website had this to say to Mark Shields, long time CNN analyst:

"This is the most despicable performance in your long career of pretending to be a Democrat. If you love George Bush with such devotion, then go register as a Republican today. Better yet, pick up a gun and go fight his disastrous war in Iraq. And give your "Democratic" spot on PBS to a REAL Democrat - someone with the cojones to stand up to the Emperor Without Clothes and his mouthpiece, Jim Lehrer!"

Kerry thought "when life hands you a leamon, make koolade"

And then drink it.

All the politicians care about is votes..filibuster or not.

If the Dems think they can pick some up, particularly with the female vote, they will filibuster.

This post is strictly indicative of how far left this poster is!

Mark Shields is no more Republican than John Kerry or Allen Colmes.

Also, Jim Lehrer is anything BUT a Republican.

This writer is so far out left he "fell off" the left wing of the "airplane of politics".

It has become patently obvious that the LAST thing some of these dem Senators care about is votes. What they care about is $$$$$$.

Massachusettes does not run the county, nor does it run the dem party. And Kerry cannot not make anything happen, even if he rushes in from slopes of Davos.

Yo:

I was reading the full transcript. I came across this...

"the Democrats in Los Angeles Times poll today had a 12 point generic lead for Congress, which is landslide proportions by historical measurement"

For crying out loud, who can believe the LA Times on anything political. The folks who run that paper are totally corrupt. No integrity at all.

They have skewed polls in the past, and then found themselves having stepped in "it" big time.

I don't believe their generic poll on Congress at all.

And just exactly what do they want the money for? The campaigns that generate the VOTES.

"The campaigns that generate the VOTES.

According to my calculations, that hasn't been working too well for them since the turn of the millenium.

I agree with everything you say........ But Lurch's argument for giving him one more chance at the presidency are brilliant. The Dims MUST let him run again after ,all his initials are J.F.K.! That means it is destiny! DESTINY !I tell you. John Effin Kerry must be given another chance to become the president cause his initials are the same as another presidents were............The pathetic thing is he's actually really said this to people. Very scary! Oooops I mean sKERRY!

I predict it will. Because their people are starting to realize that their politicians are not generating votes, but they are pocketing money.

Although nothing is ever as easy as it seems, it seems clear to me that Algore has been spending his time staking out the far left fringe radicals who now "run" the party. These are the hard core lefties who work the campaigns and drive the fund raising. They also vote in the primaries and can "swing" state primaries as the run of the mill lefties usually stay home and worship at abortion clinics.

Ian't say for sure if Al intends to run again, but he is seriously courting the fringe fanantics so you never know.

Kerry wants to be POTUS so bad he'd probably even agree to have sex with Tereza if he thought it would help. But his strategy is clear. Get to the fringe first ahead of Hitlery on every issue. He needs to cast her as the Triangulation Queen while he represents the true far left ideology.

Notice how well it worked. Sure, he looks foolish to US calling for a filibuster from Davos, but to the true Kool Aid drinkers on the far left fringe, he's the only guy with guts!

So what does Hitlery do?? Hell, she can't let him take away her campaign workers and funding. She immediately jumps into the insane asylum with Kerry because she can't afford to be seen as a moderate. Moderatation is death in the far left. We have our moderate version in Captain Queeg from Arizona.

My guess is that whoever controls the fanatical left will win the primary fight. The General Election is another story, but either Hitlery is going to have to go far, far left of where she is now, or one of these two horse's asses may steal the nomination away!

You may now applaud!

Hindraker at http://www.powerlineblog.com/ has a great analysis of why the lefty bloggers excoriate any lefty in the media who "strays" - they want the media to stay left and this attack is modest proof of the theory.
