Freeper (Kristinn) Scheduled to Appear on MSNBC's Hardball - 3/20/06

Freeper | March 20, 2006

Kristinn just called to say that he'll be on this afternoon to talk about the war, protesters, public opinion... I wasn't able to get much more information, because his phone is pretty busy right now. I think he said he'll be on during the 5:30 segment.

For those of us who never watch Hardball, it starts at 5pm on the east coast.

[Hand em their arse]

Holy Cow, I got nervous for a second... Read your last post to me, then the one right after... I'm thinking "This guy doesn't even know me!!! Yet!!!" hehe!

[armymarinedad]

OK. My bad. Just talked to Kristin and it was Hardball that listed him as with Free Rebublic and not MFVOV. More left wing garbage to make Kristin stand alone instead of with a group of Military families. Sorry Kristin. I've known you to long to think you would do that intentionally. I'll count to ten next time.

[Gracey]

Crissy has NOT stated it since 2004 election however. He probably couldn't stand Gore - and he was no fan of Clinton and his shennanigans.

[Spiff]

He was not contacted through Free Republic. He was contacted through Military Families Voice of Victory. We had Moms with children serving and one gold star mom contact us to do the segment right after Kristin agreed to represent us. He was there as a representative of MFVOV not Free Republic. Free Republic got air time at the expense of a military family group.

OK. You've stated that a number of times. Maybe you should talk to Kristinn about it to see what happened. I can assure you that it was not an intentional slight on his part and that he supports your organization completely. His message on Hardball, although not specifically an endorsement of MFVOV, was in line with what you would have wanted said, was it not? Have you ever been on camera in front of milli...er...well, in the case of Hardball...thousands, with a host hostile to your point of view and a history of badgering and cutting off guests? It can be nerve wracking and before you know it your segment is over. You don't get to say half the things you intended to say. Additionally, it is usually the job of the producers or the host to mention any association with the group that they invited on the show in the first place. Kristinn may have expected MFVOV to be included in the info along with his name or in the crawl. But, as I said, it would be appropriate for you to take this up directly with Kristinn than to start publically complaining until you've heard exactly what happened and why.

See my post 262. It was hardball not Kristin that did this.

[Txsleuth]

I never, ever want to say negative things about our military....so I seldom even report what these arm chair generals say on MSNBC....

But, they are getting on my nerves...being "bought" by the likes of Matthews.

[Spiff]

Looking forward to seeing the video of it.

I remotely set a job on my PC to compress the video. It is compressing right now. Once that is done I need to edit it and upload it to a site for sharing. Probably putfile if they're functioning tonight.

[Indy Pendance]

You should know how the msm works by now.

You know, on further reflection, I think I heard a rumor that he "Shot the Sheriff," LOL.

Ah, but he did not shoot the deputy, so he is not a multiple murderer. (couldn't resist ;^) )

[roses of sharon]

Mitch Albom, a WJR radio host was bragging on all the anti-war protest today.

Then he said, "how many people we out there FOR the war, none!", I was furious and yelled at the radio, that he has no clue, because the media NEVER reports on the rallies.

You should contact him, and set him strait! WJR is a huge radio station out of Detroit, and Mitch always comes on after Rush and Hannity and tells some lie.

[Txsleuth]

One of the problems MITCH...is the pro-troops people rally every week in front of Walter Reed...

BUT, on Monday they WORK..which I know would surprise Howard Dean...

[Shelayne]

That's what I meant when I said "purposely done." The producers wanted to make the OTHER guy more "representative" of military families. That's what I think anyway. I really don't believe that was an oversight. That's why I can't watch those shows; my blood just boils! God bless our troops!

[wolfpat]

I knew as soon as I saw him that he wasn't female.

[armymarinedad]

See post 262. I would say more but I'm I have a mouth full of crow.

[Jeff Head]

Here are a few of the clothing articles in question:

It's a fad among the liberals...useful idiots really, who are idolizing a cold-blooded Marxist killer.

[fatima]

Darn I missed it.Just got your ping:(

[silent_jonny]

Dang--missed it. Will it repeat later tonight?

[EternalVigilance]

Great job, Kristinn!
