Brokaw: My Most Conservative Friend Might Vote for Hillary
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 01/23/2008 6:25:59 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Tom Brokaw says his most conservative friend has told him he might vote for Hillary Clinton. I for one believe the former NBC News anchor. Hillary supporters might indeed constitute the rightward fringe of his friend set.

The revelation occured on today's Morning Joe.

His most conservative friend is probably Dan Rather.

A vote for Hillary could be a move to the RIGHT for Brokaw’s most Conservative friend. ;)

Conservative What? No real conservative in their right mind would vote for Hillary.

Hey Tom... WHO THE EFF CARES? Shut your pie hole.

Kind of like liberals in 1980 who couldn’t figure out how Reagan won since all their friends voted for Carter.

Good night but that’s funny and I bet Tommy B. doesn’t have any idea why. What a clueless airhead.

I'm sure Brokaw is telling the truth.

There is no way he would ever have a friend who was an actual conservative.

The Democratic Leadership Council is probably about as far right as he ever socializes.

As an MSM maven, Brokaw isn’t allowed to have any “conservative” friends.

Brokaw’s most conservative friend is probably WAY to the left of Mao Zedong, Vlad Lenin, and Antonio Gramsci.

The three top network news anchors from the last election cycle are all out (Rather, Brokaw, Koppel). Claptrap like this justifies it.

I’m conservative, more so than Brokaw’s most conservative friend, and I’d rather eat a live grenade than to vote for Hillary.

If McCain does happen to get the GOP nod, he will move leftward to gain more Independents and Liberals. [He abandoned the real conservatives along time ago, and chances are, he won’t be able to regain their confidence and votes.]

Ironically, if Clinton does get the Dem nod, she will move rightward to gain more Independents and Moderates.

They could pass each other, politically. By November, McCain could show up as the liberal and Clinton as the conservative.

From the article:

“These are born and bred, gold-plated Republicans:”

Gold-plated?

What?

I’d like to know what Tom Brokaw’s definition of a ‘Conservative’ is.

Tom Brokaw is projecting his inner Dan Rather. He misses “making up the news”.
