GOP Candidate Duncan Hunter Blasts Media For Debate Exclusion
KPBS News ^ | Jan 07, 2008 | Sara Sciammacco

Posted on 01/07/2008 3:28:38 PM PST by mdittmar

Republican Presidential Candidate Duncan Hunter lashed out against the media for excluding him from televised debates leading up to tomorrow’s primary. Sara Sciammacco reports from New Hampshire.

Standing in front of a handful of TV cameras and supporters, Hunter attacked ABC News and Fox News. The two news organizations excluded him from Republican Presidential debates this past weekend.

But I am not going quit, Mr. Corporate Executive! You think you can turn the light off on this campaign by taking off the debates 72 hours before the poll's over.

Hunter says he'll fight all the way to the West, where he believes he'll garner strong support.

Well at least his supporters are not acting like the total thugs Ron Pauls are.

Agreed.

Medved was unusually thuggish and inane this afternoon in his comments against Hunter. What a loser.

He should quit. He is an embarassment to anyone claiming to be a "conservative."

we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender,

I saw Medveds article today decrying the name RINO given to RINOs. Medved is evern worse than a RINO. He is an enabler with a large megaphone.

An awful lot of people in the MSM and Freds camp seem to be worried about Duncan Hunter, for someone who is only polling at 1%, they sure do go out of their way.

I say to them: GO DUNCAN HUNTER, the only real conservative with a record and the only true candidate in the Republican party.

All others? Poor imitations.

Bye Hunter!???

Your guy is spending his cash and getting no where. I would rather go down fighting for a man like Hunter and his lifelong achievements than back a Liberal Flipper with a greasy head.

Hunter makes your guy look like the candy ass Liberal that he is. You pray that he is gone.

You can take that to the bank.

Hunter joins other great heroes of American history:

"I have not yet begun to fight" - John Paul Jones

When General Anthony McAuliffe, acting commander of the 101st Airborne, was told of this German invitation to surrender, he responded "Aw, nuts!" After turning to other pressing issues, his staff reminded him that they should reply to the German demand; one officer recommended that the initial reply would be "tough to beat". Thus McAuliffe wrote on the paper delivered to the Germans: “NUTS!”

Let me guess ... you’re backing a “front runner”

See my tagline for the definition of “front runner”
