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.

Nothing sadder than a blogger with nothing to write about. And I mean “sadder” in an ironic way....

The leftist Ghouls go nuts when someone challenges Obama authority. How dare a congressman get mad at CNN’s pro Obama worshiping position.

Hah! I knew my Kucinich For Galactic Overlord campaign would revive! You doubters will come around, oh, yes you will, or the hive-sentient pterodactyls will dine on your quivering zarf-nodes!!

That said, the Munchkin from Marfark is right on the issue. Given the vigorous employment of small arms, artillery, armored vehicles, air and naval assets, and assorted man-portable explosive devices I'd gently suggest that what we have going in Libya isn't exactly a needlepoint party. Is it war if there aren't any troops on the ground (that we'll admit to)? Ask any Londoner circa 1941.

That is exactly how I interpreted the interview. The CNN host was protecting Obama.

“...Last I heard, his dwarves were still brewing the concoction.”

Haha, I’m sad that I’m laughing about this, kind of, even though it’s so serious it’s not really funny. Are we to take it that he’s really one of Sauron’s minions then? That would explain things.

There was nothing sexist or inappropriate about Kucinich's behavior.

The author upset that Kucinich dared to question the brilliant maneuvering of the mighty Obama.

And I agree with "I still care" about Kucinich: He’s a nut, but he’s a principled nut.

And I find it almost surreal that Kucinich is now perhaps the main congressional defender of the Constitution.

So if you bomb the crap out of any country, and specifically try to kill the leader of that country, that's not war. Ok. got it...i think?

Explains a hell of a lot when you put it like that.

They need to cut Kucinch off half way through whatever he’s saying and give equal time to the other side.

Fer crying out loud! We aren’t even involved in Libya. We turned everything over to NATO.</ sarcasm >

Bouvier's Law Dictionary, 1856 edition gives a pretty good working definition of WAR:
4. War is not only an act, but a state or condition, for nations are said to be at war not only when their armies are engaged, so as to be in the very act of contention, but also when, they have any matter of controversy or dispute subsisting between them which they are determined to decide by the use of force, and have declared publicly, or by their acts, their determination so to decide it.
And that is clearly the case Obama pursues against Libyan ruler Qidafy! We are at WAR.
