Batting for Barack, Robin Clips Clinton on 'Negative Attack Ads'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 03/05/2008 5:57:46 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Barack Obama had a rough night in Texas and Ohio, and some are even taking a contentious press conference he recently endured as a sign the MSM might be turning on him. But the junior senator from Illinois can still count on one MSMer in his corner: Robin Roberts. A few weeks ago, as I noted here, the GMA co-anchor conducted a softball session for the ages with Obama.

Today, Hillary Clinton made the rounds of all the morning network news shows. The toughest questioning by far came from Roberts, in this exchange.

ROBIN ROBERTS: What do you think the negative ad factor, how did that help you in this race? Because leading up, you did have some negative attack ads, and can we expect to see more of that in the days and weeks ahead?

Who told Hillary brown was her color? Whoever it was should be fired.

Man, is this entertaining!

I wonder if they understand that they have to put the b*tch down for good, or their careers are probably on the line after the election...

The Clinton Machine is going to get in trouble for using the rope-a-dope strategy with Obama. That’s racist. < /s >

Gee - putting out a photo of Obama in Somali garb, darkening his picture, encouraging her sycophants to use his middle name (Bob Kerrey), suggest that he was a drug dealer (Bob Johnson of BET), etc., etc., etc., - that’s not negative, Hillary?

MSM simply trying to keep this race alive as long as possible. The bitch goes on SLN and they script a scene to make her seem more “human”, while attacking the press for going easy on Obama. She does 60 Minutes on Sunday and they ask her no tough questions. Then on Jon Stewart's show, another scripted joke to make her look human...

Meanwhile the MSM ignores Obama over the final weekend, and then attack him on Monday. And it works, people are that freaking stupid. Undecideds see this crap and buy it. Today pundits are saying that her crying in NH and this last minute scripted hype are the only reason she’s still in it.

Hopefully the MSM eventually turns back on the bitch - the story of darkening Obama’s skin and other stories to follow, as the Clinton machine does the only thing they know to do - play dirty, remind people he’s a Negro, not a Muslim (as far as she knows).

Now they think being negative has put her back in the race. With any luck, they will continue to attack the Negro and people will turn against her.
