Anybody else see the news coverage on this "Memorial Service" story tonight?

MAJOR DEMOCRATIC DAMAGE (Why the "Memorial Service" will cost Mondale the election)

[Utah Girl]

I don't watch the major news networks, but thanks for watching for us and reporting. I don't see how they could report that rally as anything but negatively. It was a disgusting partisan pep rally, with x42 in charge. He and Hillary were just beaming the whole evening.

[RadicalRik]

I saw Jesse "The Bod" say that he might apppoint some independent citizen off the street to be senator in Wellstone's place.
It's interesting that Minnisota voters are so discusted that Walter Mondale's poll numbers are now almost double digit to Coleman's
Probably too much to hope that Republicans had a chance in Minnisota...

From what I heard last night, all the local network affiliates in MN were suckered into carrying the memorial service campaign rally and their switchboards lit up during/after the spectacle with angry viewers calling in. Maybe that's why the networks didn't dare cover it any other way. I'm sure it wasn't a sudden attack of integrity or truthfulness.

I was totally FR free today because of a busy day of work. How did this play on the radio show circuit (i.e. Rush Limbaugh)?

I caught an audio clip from the rally on the news coming into work. It seemed totally out of line for a memorial service.

[Dog Gone]

I only watched ABC. Even though they attempted to be "balanced," it was clear from the story that the Democrats had blown it.

[McGruff]

As Jesse would say

Keep Hope Alive!

that we have a totally republican gov't next week.

[Mrs.Liberty]

BTW, CBS led into the story about that "Memorial Service" with a silly negative story about how Norm Coleman was somehow besmirching the memory of Paul Wellstone because he flew around Minnesota today in the same kind of jet that Wellstone used when he crashed Huh? Was he supposed to rent a bus instead now? Or just not campaign at all (after all, it would be WRONG to CAMPAIGN so soon after the poor Senator's death). GMAFB.

[jackbill]

How many times do you find the "Big Three" broadcast networks criticize the DemocRATs and then see some Republicans disagree with them??? Yet, they are doing it.

I have seen several so-called Republicans on TV today, including the so-called GOP consultant Scott Reed, basically say "No big deal". Can you believe their idiocy????

[katze]

Not yet, but I can get the west coast NBC at 9:30, and it will be a first for me, and worth it. Thanks for the heads up. Hard to believe the networks finally recognize the skunks for what they are.

Imus started that story this morning and then retracted it.

Coleman flew in a Cessna Citation

Dear Minnisota,

How does it feel to be like Monica's stained dress?

[IowaHawk]

Q: What's the difference between the Paul Wellstone memorial ceremony and the World Series?

A: In the World Series, the rally monkeys didn't have government jobs.

I held my nose and forced myself to watch the network news tonight and was pleasantly surprised.

I think Mondale is done, unless Minnesotans are as depraved as the assclowns in that theatre.

[JimVT]

because he flew around Minnesota today in the same kind of jet that Wellstone used when he crashed. That's the worst they can say about Coleman?

It's not only stupid. It's wrong.

Wellstone et al died in the crash of a twin engine prop aircraft.

[putupon]

Those DimRATs really blew it. I don't understand how they were dumb enough not to use the same tried and true Carnahan pity method, crying up to election day. All they had to do was go out and get all weepy and light some candles, and the soccer moms would swoon. It would have had the GOP coffin nailed shut by election day. Instead they threw a party. Dumb.

ABC, CBS, & NBC Nightly News

Didn't know the networks had news shows. Thought they were Liberal Love Fest.

I especially liked the closing comment by the ABC reporter which was basically..."The Democrates can only hope Mondale can change the subject." Considering his picture at the rally has been splashed all over the news its kind of hard to forget he was there in the middle of it. And oh by the way, the election is in less than a week.

I haven't donated to anything but FR all year. Today I gave the Coleman campaign $50. And I don't even live in Minnesota.

[GraniteStateConservative]

The Brian Williams edition of NBC cable news was very good to the GOP. They reported the apology from the Wellstone senior campaign aide who said he took full repsonsibility for what happened. I don't recall any anti-Coleman parts of it at all.
