CNN was forced to apologize Thursday after it aired an interview on American Morning with a University of Southern California student whom it identified as Eric Pearlmutter, a College Republican, who said that there was little enthusiastic support for Sen. John McCain's candidacy on campus. Following the broadcast Ben Myers, president of the USC College Republicans, shot back saying that he had never met or seen Pearlmutter at a College Republican meeting and that Pearlmutter is not even a member. "As far as I know, he could be a Democrat," Myers told the Los Angeles Times. On Thursday night a CNN spokeswoman sent an email message to the newspaper confirming that it had "inadvertently" identified Pearlmutter as a member of USC College Republicans and that the network had invited Myers to appear on American Morning. Myers responded that "to claim that [McCain's] support is weak among young Republicans is just pure liberal media propaganda."

You’re kidding...the same last name? What are the chances of that happening...just a student on the street...Perlmutter is such a common surname.
I’m a republican and voted for Bush and have a picture of Reagan in my wallet....BUT I’m voting for obama because we need to try Stalinism and stick it to the running yellow dog capitalist pigs...
Up until the Internet, all of them.
From google results, both Perlmutter and Gumbiner seem to be Jewish surnames.
It looks like this is a constant practice with the Rat infested media.
Eric Pearlmutter is Jeb Eddy’s bastard...
(Jeb Eddy is a lib that goes around with an “Republican Ashamed of my Party” banner. The guy’s a total fraud.)
That's because the old tricks still work so well on sheeple

Chapter 5 - Page 1 - Paragraph 1:
Identify yourself as a lifelong Republican & Conservative and then denounce your candidate on national television with the help of Big Media friends.
No tricks... just business as usual.
Purely ancedotal, I know, but my daughter and her friends are not impressed with Obama. They like McCain for all of the reasons that some on this site don’t like him. Lol
They like the maverick and independent image. They also see Obama for the empty suit that he is.
Her boyfriend comes from a liberal democrat family and he is voting for McCain, also. Not sure about his family though.
Reading again Myers’ comments, I realized that if Eric is a registered Republican who happens to attend USC, CNN would have said that as it would have been easily argued as an honest mistake.
CNN still carrying the fake story at

You raised her right!
:-)
soooo college republicans ARE excited about Mccain? well I guess the republicans are not the college conservatives.
Especially if you get through to Rush's show too. Seminar caller alerts are almost daily now.
CNN has to explain why Eric said he is disappointed in the numbers of students who attend the meetings.
"We try to get people out to our college Republican meetings, but ... we can't seem to draw the same kind of vocal support," he said.Perlmutter was acting like he is a spokesperson for the group.
