Via Gossip Cop, such is the viral potential of this video that you’re going to end up watching it somewhere. It might as well be here and now.
I don’t understand her objection. Did Morgan not let her talk about her book at all during the course of the interview? Or is she just really, really opposed to talking about gay marriage for whatever reason? Unless there’s an agreement before the show that certain topics are off-limits, the host is usually free to ask anything he/she wants. Palin just did an hour of questions with reporters last week at the Iowa state fair and didn’t rule any subject out of bounds, even though she’s not running for anything right now either. Very strange.
CNN, as you might expect, is milking it for all it’s worth.

Not being from DE I didn’t care. She was interviewed by mark Levin on his show yesterday . I actually was surprised by her, she gave an excellent interview.
Word.
Uh, I watched the clip. I think COD was giving Piers a lot of leash...and he insisted on continuing to bait her.
He asked about Michele Bachmann’s stance on DOMA. COD said she wasn’t there to talk about MB’s stand on DOMA.
COD said she was there to talk about her book and the fiscal policies it promoted...but Piers continued to ask about the gay marriage issue.
COD said she wasn’t running for office, it wasn’t an issue she was interested in discussing.
I guaran-damn-tee you if there were an entertainer there who insisted on rules for an interview, CNN would sure as hell abide by them.
Piers insisted that he WAS talking about things in the book...but COD said she referred to her religious beliefs and NOT the gay marriage stuff.
COD hung in there for a while, and finally told Piers she wasn’t going to be treated rudely.
I don’t think she came off as nasty or stupid at all—she was trying to say, with a smiling face, that she wasn’t going to be drawn into an issue unrelated to her purpose.
She came out the winner—Piers came off as a snot.
Yeah. I suspected as much. She was attacked and told Piers to stuff it.
I may actually watch it now.
Yeah, and at 1:53, he says “I think I’m being rather charming”.......
As Dennis Prager often says.....nobody, and I mean nobody, has a great sense of self worth, self esteem, self goodness, self wisdom....and now self charm, as those on the LEFT. They are narcissists through and through.
She’s like your buddy’s impossible to have fun around girl friend.
So long Buddy.
The media will trot her out to make Tea Party people look like idiots.
Bingo. Saddening to see all the vitriol blasted at this young woman by folks even here on FR. You’d think this was DU at times.
Fact is, if we had a few more CODs in the Senate, there wouldn’t be a threat from RINOs like Olympia Snowe and Susan Shakeyvoice Collins. She may not be as polished as some would like, but then she’d be accused of being a mere performer.
There is just no winning with some smarmy folks...there are plenty on both sides of the aisle.
Weird. I don’t remember hearing about her walking off Bill Maher’s show ...
No doubt his handlers got Christine to show up by making various promises that weren't kept.
Just saw it.
Hoo boy!
I want my $150 back.
She is weak, dumd and just a little bit manipulative.
then again, she should have known better than to go on Piers “The Limey” Morgan.
Unfortunately, Christine forgot the number one key to being interviewed: get your points in regardless of what the interviewer asks. Instead of criticizing him for being off point, she should have tried to be on-point herself.
Make this Limey go away!!!!
Oh, yeah! I forgot. You post at FR./lol
***1968-Georgia Governor Lester Maddox walks off of the Joe Pyne show:***
I remember the Joe Pyne show! He had some “interesting” guests on there!
Well, you’re certainly in for a whole lot of flamin’. You must be Karl Rove or a Bushie, etc.
Yes, I agree.
I also have to say that it’s rare to find a conservative who can articulate a good reason not to permit same sex marriage. Using the Bible or God don’t fly with the LEFT and that is why I think Dennis Prager is the best I have heard.
He’s spot on when he says things like No great moral thinker “religious or NON religious” has ever advocated anything other than marriage between male and female.
And that this is not a civil rights or equality case because male and female are different. White people and black people aren’t. A white man and black man are equal, are the same. Male and Female are not.
But the LEFT agenda is to obliterate the differences between male and female. So when a boy wins homecoming queen at a high school, the LEFT says...”yes, this is good!”....while the girls who wanted to win go home wondering what the hell just happened.
And that Sexuality is a timebomb we are messing with, ESPECIALLY with little girls who will be taught in school by LEFT wing teachers and text books that for her to marry another female is just as normal as to marry a male.
Sexuality in males is not as complicated, ask a little boy if he’s going to marry another boy....he laughs at you. Ask a little girl if she’s going to marry a girl she’s confused, and doesn’t know how to react.
Already in a school in Los Angeles has notified parents they will no longer teach that marriage between male and female is the norm. And already there is a suit to allow polygamy on the same grounds as same sex.
As with everything the LEFT bases it’s values on “feelings”.they “emote” and the heart wants to allow same sex marriage.
But the LEFT doesn’t think things through, how this impacts children, and finally......a simple question to the LEFT wing like Piers.....”If you had children and something happened to you, would you want them to be raised by a couple in a male female marriage as parents....or a couple in same sex marriage?.”.......And why?
Very few conservatives that I see can articulate these arguments to the LEFT on this issue. In fact, I have seen none other than a Dennis Prager.
“I’m not talking about policies. I’m not running for office,” O’Donnell said. “Ask Michele Bachmann what she thinks.”
When Morgan asked her why she was being “weird” about answering questions on her own statements, as well as issues she addresses in her new book, “Troublemaker,” O’Donnell fired back, saying she only wanted to talk about tea party principles she said she outlines in her book.
“That’s why I agreed to come on your show. That’s what I want to talk about,” O’Donnell said. “I’m not being weird. You’re being a little rude.”
“I was supposed to be speaking at the Republican Women’s Club at 6, and I chose to be a little late for that,” she said. “Not to endure a rude talk show host, but to talk to you about my book and the issues I address in my book.”

Forgot to add the hutzpah of the LEFT. To think that for thousands of years, every great moral thinker got it all wrong on same sex marriage. But they come along and get it right. No arrogance of narcissism like LEFT wing arrogance and narcissism.
ugh... forced to endure a 60 second ad before viewing the video!
