For the Obama interview Chuck asked if he could refresh his coffee and if he wanted a piloow.

It’s okay! Watching the MSM crying a river come November 4th and the following morning will all be worth it.

I love watching liberals cry.

Gibson reminded me of some college dean interviewing an incoming freshman who he thought didn’t deserve to be interviewed in the first place. Despite Gibson’s arrogant tone and rude and demeaning manner, I think Palin came across as determined, likeable, and trustworthy.

I cannot believe what an a$$ Gibson is.
I thought Sarah did great, especially after sending her oldest son off to war.
I would be in tears for days if mine had gone off to war.

Hang tough Sarah, you have the base behind you.
We are going to SWIFT BASE Hussein.

In one last flurry, Gibson complained that he was “lost in a blizzard of words here.”

Lost in his own words, that is. Her words were clear and distinct.

Early morning show on FOX had a lefty, liberal radio host stating that, (paraphrase) ‘Just because Palin’s a woman, she shouldn’t expect to be tossed softballs.’

The dems simply don’t understand the depth and width of their misogyny. No wonder the DNC killed Hillary’s chances with an untested, unprepared, inexperienced man.

They simply couldn’t allow her to win.

Charlie Gibson, the Hammer and Sickle banner waving propaganda representative for Red.

At least he didn’t ask her to take off her glasses and shake out her hair.

There was a woman caller who telephoned into a conservative talk show this morning (WIBC/Indianapolis). She stated that Chris Wallace of Fox News (who watched the whole Palin/Gibson interview on Nightline) stated that it was very clear to him that ABC News edited the Palin/Gibson interview to manipulate the appearance of Sarah Palin as being arrogant and uninformed. For Chris Wallace to say this is quite a statement.

The doctrine of preemptive strikes has been around at least since Cato (The Younger I believe) and “Carthage must be destroyed!”

I think the McCain camp doesn’t want to be seen complaining about how unfair Gibson was, but that entire interview, including their intro and name for the segment (War. God and Oil) was an absolute left wing hatchet job.

Someone ask “Charlie” (appropriately the name of a mentally retarded savant in the movie of the same name) if mankind is causing the global cooling that has occurred the last several years.

I think that selecting Charlie to rake Palin was another good choice. Sarah did fine and Gibson exposed himself as a a$$. It could have an opposite effect of either pissing off women and moderates and drawing them to McCain & Palin.

Bravo Charlie! Lets see if he tones down for the encore interview.

Oh, they do understand. Their blind hatred for captilism and America completely overshadows any ounce of sense in fair play or logic.

The propagandists play by their own rules, and relativism is one of the principle rules in their game.

The liberal Democrats and Muslims fear the power of a conservative woman.

As D. Morris said:
...’Basically, it’s this: John McCain only endangers Democratic chances of victory this November, but Sarah Palin is an existential threat to the Democratic Party.

She threatens a core element of the party’s base - women’...

Which Gibson didn't even acknowledge when she mentioned it in the context of her answer. He just pressed on with his BS questions.

I knew this interview was going to be bad.

Remember when Pelosi became Speaker of the House. This guy was fawning over her ability to “look after the children”, and the country.

I about puked.

Pelosi is the “right” kind of woman. Palin is the “wrong” kind for the MSM.

In their mind, her primary DISQUALIFICATION is that she didn’t abort her children.
