CNN anchor to protester: Hey, stop calling yourselves “real Americans”

All this poor guy meant by “real” is that the people at Obama’s town halls were true grassroots activists who went on their own initiative, not as fronts for the White House or some conservative astroturf operation. After three weeks of being smeared every which way as flakes and phonies by the guardians of tolerance, capped by Madam Speaker calling shouters un-American, who can blame him for stressing the point? Answer: Don Lemon, deciding that even the remote chance that viewers might take this as a challenge to the patriotism of ObamaCare supporters warranted an impromptu lecture on proper political rhetorical in the age of Hopenchange. And I do mean lecture. There’s nothing in the way of a question here, as one might expect from a “reporter.”

Shot in the dark: Any CNN fans among the Hot Air readership? I’m mighty curious to know if Lemon’s flown into any similar snits about the cavalcade of “divisive” Nazi/brownshirt/political terrorist spin oozing from his side of the aisle. Click the image to watch.

WHo’s this guy kidding?

The real Americans will consider to refer to ourselves as real Americans — no matter what the pinkos at CNN think.

[Ben Mugged]

I’ll stop calling myself a “real American” if CNN will stop calling itself a “news organization”.

Its the tree falling in the forest thing. If no one is watching CNN, who gives a sh*t what thier anchor says.

[CaptainK]

How about the real Americans who love their country and the real Americans who don’t.

[JRandomFreeper]

Damn. That's a lot of light loafers. I don't own a TV, so I hadn't seen how bad it was these days.

Stop calling ourselves real Americans?

OK, how about non-Marxists? Covers the same people.

I’ll stop calling myself a “real American” if CNN will stop calling itself a “news organization”.

Sissy brigade. “Oh you meanies, you keep on picking on our first metro president. You had better stop or I will call you more names.”
Yea right.
More educated way beyond their intelligence types.

Don Lemon has soured me on CNN.

Which one is Olbermann?

[madinmadtown]

When Anderson Cooper, son of Gloria Vanderbilt and heir of Cornelius Vanderbilt, is one of the anchors at CNN...their definition of real Americans has to be skewed.

[Choose Ye This Day]

LOL!

The answer, of course, is “none of the above.”

[GinaLolaB]

I saw that! The funny thing is that I never watch CNN but I just happened to have it on when that uppity black dude kept telling the guy to stop saying real Americans. He would not let up!
