Hillary Supporter On Conference Call: Tim Russert 'Should Be Shot'
National Review Online ^ | 11/01/2007 | Jim Geraghty

Hillary Clinton

Another highlight from that conference call with Hillary strategist Mark Penn:

One caller from Oklahoma City said that "the questions ... were designed to incite a brawl," and that Russert's and Brian William's moderating was "an abdication of journalistic responsibility."

Another said Russert "should be shot," before quickly adding that she shouldn't say that on a conference call.

Penn and Mantz said they were hearing a lot of the same sentiment from other supporters, but they do not plan to engage the media or the debate's moderators...

Shot? What about journalistic freedom and freedom of speech?

Journalistic Responsibility? Do they mean they were responsible for making sure that all the Dems got softball questions or that Hillary should never, ever be asked questions that she can't mince words on, reduce to a game of semantics, or engage in triangulation with?

Will Chillary apologize to Tim Russert for what the conference caller said? Will she say go away from this campaign to her?

Typical liberal response. Slience all opposition. Free speech only applies to those who agree with the liberal mantra.

I agree. As a so-called journalist he should be shot, stuffed and mounted. But not for Tuesday night's performance. That was almost enough to redeem his journalistic integrity.

Even the mob shied away from whacking reporters....perhaps they were more ethical.

Boohoohoo.. what a bunch of little sissies. The democrats are so freaking protected by the media that an absolutely legitimate question is considered “inciting”. Ill tell you what inciting is, the whole of the Anti American left in this country. They should be glad that they are not swinging from gallows.

Russert is gonna be awfully upset to be lumped in with conservatives.

No more invitations to the chi-chi parties.

Aw, come on Libs, “Give peace a chance”.

This reminds of the debate with Lazio that Hillary had when she was running for Senator. Much was made over that too. I am tired of her supporters acting victimized whenever Hillary is called to task for her traitor ways. I hope whoever the Republican Nominee is, I hope that he incites the debates as much as he can. And I really don’t want to hear any bitching, moaning and complaining from Hillary’s supporters. They are so protected, they just don’t like being forced to be confronted by the truth. They need to get used to it.

Yeah right, and next week the MSM(including Russert...he knows who butters his toast) will be telling everyone how Hilliary faced adversity for the first time in her campaign...and came out strong and victorious while showing the American people she IS battle tested and ready for the many challenges that a President will face.

Russert, Chris Matthews and the rest of the rich, liberal, elite Hampton's/NE caviar sucking media types?, LOL! give me a break, I've never bought their PC indoctrination snake oil brainwashing BS in the past, I'm not about to start buying it now.

This farce, liar, corruption filled, conniving, deceitful, shill of a candidate must be stopped, but these are definitely NOT the folks who you can trust to do the job. That'd be like trusting Michael Moore to watch over a bucket of chicken.

I agree completely.

I mean, if Hillary can’t handle tough questions or a challenge from the male Democrat pres. candidates, how the hell is she going to be able to stand up to male terrorists, thugs and third world dictators?

I heard the debate and thought Mr. Russert was too easy on her.

She didn’t give an answer to the question, didn’t even say she had no firm opinion on it. Just used the whole question to take a swipe at the president.

Russert should have pressed her.
