Dennis Kucinich Gets Nasty With CNN's Brooke Baldwin
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | June 15, 2011

Posted on 06/15/2011 2:01:20 PM PDT by ConservativeStatement

U.S. Democratic Congressman Dennis Kucinich showed his nasty and perhaps sexist side in his treatment of CNN Anchor Brooke Baldwin just moments ago on CNN Live.

While fielding questions about his lawsuit against the Obama Administration for the U.S. military involvement in Libya, Brooke asked him an essentially rhetorical question of why he calls it a "war" when, at present, the U.S. doesn't have a large set of ground soldiers there. "That's a silly question," Kucinich angrily responded, and which completely lost any chance of this blogger's positive mention of Kucinich in this matter. "If it looks like a war, it's a war" he continued.

I tuned into CNN to witness the exchange.

It’s amusing to be on the same page with Dennis Kucinich about something. Of course, I completely disagree with him as to why, but that only makes it funnier.

SF Chronicle must be the liberal Journolista party organ of the day. They are really kicking out the Bolshevism in today's editions.

Yes, for once the Keebler Elf from Outer Space With the Inexplicably Hot Wife was right.

I also agree with Kucinich. Would the CNN person say that Pearl Harbor was NOT an act of war because the Japanese didn’t land any ground troops in Hawaii?

I think that this blogger is reaching a bit. I see nothing sexist in DK’s remarks.

The writer complains Kucinich owes the reporter an apology because he wouldn’t treat a male reporter the same way. I thought women’s rights were all about equality. I guess not.

“It’s amusing to be on the same page with Dennis Kucinich about something.”

Likewise here. What’s also amusing is hearing the White House resident’s justification for ignoring the war powers act. Every rule seems to require an exception for him.

Too true. Try to cut out the crossword puzzle on Sunday. It’s still the only part of the paper worth reading.

Actually, I like Kucinich better than most dems.

He’s a nut, but he’s a principled nut.

Instead, Kucinich came off like a debate thug and a woman-hating know-it-all. The way he looked at Baldwin - the sheer hostility he showed - was totally classless and completely out of line.

It's so funny to watch the lefties get their painties in a twist.

I watched it. Sexism was far from an issue. Typical liberal thought process by the blogger. If you can’t stand the heat...

You aren’t subtle enough. He said that the Elf’s offense was the nasty look he gave her. Surely Dennis would never have betrayed such irritation with a MALE interviewer.

Look to see Kucinich hold an apologetic press conference on the West Steps before dinnertime.

I’ll be holding my breath till then.

He’s issued it already? Last I heard, his dwarves were still brewing the concoction.

Bravo sir. Well played. Wish I’d thought of that.

Isn’t there a rule that when ever we have an article about Dennis Kucinich it must include a picture of his wife??? :>)

“Silly” is a new four-letter word.
