“Sarah should only agree to LIVE INTERVIEWS from now on. I hope she considers an interview with Britt Hume.”

The McCain Campaign vastly uderestimted the vileness and lengths the libs would go to.

This is unbelievable.

But they were stupid enough to grant an interview that wasn’t live and had potential to be edited.

They need to get this entire transcript out to the media in big way.

You are right that Sarah should be interviewed by Brit Hume AND SO SHOULD OBAMA......
Except the courageous “community organizer” that will face down Putin and Amahdinejad doesn’t have the guts to do such an interview.

FOX should also do a show/analysis of Sarah’s unedited answers as opposed to the hatchet job of ABC...CALL IT “SARAH UNPLUGGED”...the unedited version of a true American woman....

Help me please , I must have missed ABC announcing when they will be traveling to Chicago, now that they have given the VICE PRESIDENTIAL candidate an Anal Exam ,I thought for sure they will now show The Democratic nominee for PRESIDENT better known as Jesus Christ, in the UTOPIA created on the South side of Chicago by him and his friends Ayers and Rezco with the 10s of millions of dollars of taxpayers money. I am sure the multitudes now living in conditions equalling Beverly Hills, would meet the Messiah with equal Joy as did those in Alaska ,who met Sarah Palin at the airport.
Then we could see for ourselves that we all have been wrong about Obama. I cant wait for CHARLIE to look over the transformed landscape with awe and proclaim who needs the Majestic Vistas of Alaska when we have found heaven on earth on the South side of Chicago Thanks to William Ayers Tony Rezco and The Messiah Barack Obama

"I was disappointed (and remain disappointed) that McCain didn’t make more of fried-chicken-Obama refusing to meet him in townhall debates."

He did when he was on "the Spiew". Plus he challenged Obama to debate him live on "The View". I guess we'll just have to wait and see if Obama agrees. probably not.

I noticed the editing, but didn’t give me much pause. I figured they were editing out dead time, not wholesale chunks of her interview.

Shows how little I know. Sheesh. What a bunch of arrogant a-holes.

Even with the edit. Sarah came across as strong and solid on the issues.

What gets me is that it wasn't even a very good job of editing. They didn't even try. My wife and I noted the “choppiness” while we watched it Thursday night.

Maybe a few rounds of email simply asking Charlie how he likes being known as the Dan Rather of ABC.

Hopefully this will be the last of TAPED McCain/Palin interviews with the mainstream media.

I urge you to send Charles Gibson your thoughts.

You can BET Charlie won't read my comment about the missing parts. No four letter words, but complaints of bias should be sent by every FReeper.

Great thread, coffee 260.

THIS really stuck out at me:

"...PALIN: We have got to make sure that these weapons of mass destruction, that nuclear weapons are not given to those hands of Ahmadinejad, not that he would use them, but that he would allow terrorists to be able to use them. So we have got to put the pressure on Iran and we have got to count on our allies to help us, diplomatic pressure.

GIBSON: But, Governor, we’ve threatened greater sanctions against Iran for a long time. It hasn’t done any good. It hasn’t stemmed their nuclear program.

PALIN: We need to pursue those and we need to implement those. We cannot back off. We cannot just concede that, oh, gee, maybe they’re going to have nuclear weapons, what can we do about it. No way, not Americans. We do not have to stand for that...."

I bolded and underlined the portion of Gibson's last statement. These despicable people are shameless. They are the same people who endlessly, tirelessly and uselessly propose sanctions instead of military action. THE VERY SAME PEOPLE. Ugh. They simply make me sick. THIS is why I do not watch television.

McCain should demand that ABC release the entire interview.

I watched the original interview.........this is something quite different.

Sarah did even better than I thought she did.

Sent charlie my comments......kept hitting that 500 character limit and had to edit.....I think I got my point across.

Looks like Gibson decided to take the same career path as Dan Rather. Hopefully he pays the same price for his journalistic malpractice, he certainly deserves it.

Pray for W, Mccuda and Our Freedom Fighters

I sent the following:

"Next time you do a hatchet job on a candidate (and those candidates are always Republican), you might try a smoother transition between the cut and pasted sections. Just a little hint.

Here's another hint -- remember that a transcript is sometimes available online within hours, and the public, already distrustful of you guys, will find said transcript and go over it with a microscope.

Gee, Charlie, were you trying for Dan Rather's "fake but accurate" effect?"

Charlie Gibson and ABCNews have given new meaning to the term “EXACT WORDS”.
