re: Gibson Excerpts

Corner National Review ^ | 9/11/08 | Kathryn Jean Lopez

I'm getting a lot of e-mails like these:

Mr. Gibson left out a couple of words when he quoted Mrs. Palin. She was admonishing the congregation and said, "Pray that our national leaders are sending our troops on a task that is from God." When he quoted her, he left out the admonishment to pray and said her quote began with “ Our leaders are sending. . . That totally changes the meaning, thus, he can construe her ‘real’ meaning and take the interview in the direction of ‘mission from God’, aka holy war.

She was not saying that we were fighting a holy war. But, praying for the leaders, that they would send our troops to fight for righteous and noble causes that align with our values. Isn't that what Americans have always done? This infuriates me. If they cannot make their points by using our words, they attempt to create false impressions by omitting words and distorting their true meaning. I had hoped Mr. Gibson would be more honest. Disappointed again by the MSM

I have more respect for the snails I pick out of my front yard than I do the MSM. I hold the news media in the same regard I hold dog squeeze - the neighbor's dog.

I'd like to contribute something a little more intellectually interesting, but its all been said.

So I wonder if she is through with all this ABC mess. Does she get Friday off?

[Diana in Wisconsin]

And I LOVE how she keeps calling him, “Charlie.” It’s not an attempt to humanize him; it’s an attempt to make her appear that they’re just sitting down to tea and she’s playing nice and he isn’t. It totally undermines any grenade he lobs at her.

Yep. She rocks. Go, Sarah! Go! :)

[MrLee]

BIAS!!!! Will the American people buy it????? Obama hasn’t been asked these types of questions and he’s running for President!!!

I’m getting sick of this.......

[Fawn]

Was this interview already on???

[gswilder]

Sarah did fantastic. She is so quick on her feet. Smart. Able to connect with people.

That background in sportscasting and journalism help. She knows a lot of very good interviewing techniques. For examples, she bridges a lot of questions. She doesn’t answer them directly or completely ignore them, but says what she wants, and then redirects to the real point of the issue.

I just hope ABC shows her over and over again.

Let her loose on the Sunday talk show circuit. She’ll eat the liberal MSM up.

Britt Hume is talking about all this now.

Britt Hume is talking about all this now.

Hurray! Rush will have a field day tomorrow too. More Sarah-trashing will backfire on those a$$es in the MSM. I actually had a modicum of respect for Gibson. Not any more.

[McGruff]

Charlie you POS! Actions have consequences my friend and yours will bury your career in journalism!

[goldstategop]

Of course he was! They are liberals first and journalists second and conservatives must never lose sight of the fact the MSM/Drivebys are joined neck, body and legs with the Democratic Party.

[snarkytart]

I am watching some of the “after interview” analysis - Chris Matthews is actually being objective about the thing - so far.

What is he saying?

[fanfan]

Further to my post #14, above:

She said “You know, I don’t know if that was my exact quote....”,

And then he cut her off, and said “It’s exact words”.

The Slime Bucket!!!

[Osage Orange]

If Gibson is so bad, why did the McC camp pick him?

Because McCain still thinks that the MSM/DBM can be trusted????

[skeeter]

Thanks for the YouTube link. But I think I lost some IQ points reading the comments...

[snarkytart]

It’s fine that she was asked tough questions, even unfair questions, because she’s going to be in the media...this is what it is.
They wanted her to saying something really dumb, or something very “kooky”, or get her pissed. They failed.
She stood her ground.

[Fawn]

PLEASE WILL SOMEONE TELL ME WHEN AND WHERE THIS INTERVIEW IS ON?

[Fawn]

I heard Mathews say to one of Sarah’s answers that it ‘was a great answer’. I was waiting for the punch line.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Don’t do that to yourself, LOL! (I never do.)

Here. This one will bring your IQ level right back up there. Well, it will make you laugh, anyway...

My Fellow Americans:
Last night, when I spoke with you about the fall of Rome, I knew at that moment that troops of the United States and our Allies were crossing the Channel in another and greater operation. It has come to pass with success thus far.
And so, in this poignant hour, I ask you to join with me in prayer:
Almighty God: Our sons, pride of our nation, this day have set upon a mighty endeavor, a struggle to preserve our Republic, our religion, and our civilization, and to set free a suffering humanity.
Lead them straight and true; give strength to their arms, stoutness to their hearts, steadfastness in their faith.
They will need Thy blessings. Their road will be long and hard. For the enemy is strong. He may hurl back our forces. Success may not come with rushing speed, but we shall return again and again; and we know that by Thy grace, and by the righteousness of our cause, our sons will triumph.
They will be sore tried, by night and by day, without rest — until the victory is won. The darkness will be rent by noise and flame. Men’s souls will be shaken with the violences of war.
For these men are lately drawn from the ways of peace. They fight not for the lust of conquest. They fight to end conquest. They fight to liberate. They fight to let justice arise, and tolerance and goodwill among all Thy people. They yearn but for the end of battle, for their return to the haven of home.
Some will never return. Embrace these, Father, and receive them, Thy heroic servants, into Thy kingdom.
And for us at home — fathers, mothers, children, wives, sisters, and brothers of brave men overseas, whose thoughts and prayers are ever with them — help us, Almighty God, to rededicate ourselves in renewed faith in Thee in this hour of great sacrifice.
Many people have urged that I call the nation into a single day of special prayer. But because the road is long and the desire is great, I ask that our people devote themselves in a continuance of prayer. As we rise to each new day, and again when each day is spent, let words of prayer be on our lips, invoking Thy help to our efforts.
Give us strength, too — strength in our daily tasks, to redouble the contributions we make in the physical and the material support of our armed forces.
And let our hearts be stout, to wait out the long travail, to bear sorrows that may come, to impart our courage unto our sons wheresoever they may be.
And, O Lord, give us faith. Give us faith in Thee; faith in our sons; faith in each other; faith in our united crusade. Let not the keeness of our spirit ever be dulled. Let not the impacts of temporary events, of temporal matters of but fleeting moment — let not these deter us in our unconquerable purpose.
With Thy blessing, we shall prevail over the unholy forces of our enemy. Help us to conquer the apostles of greed and racial arrogances. Lead us to the saving of our country, and with our sister nations into a world unity that will spell a sure peace — a peace invulnerable to the schemings of unworthy men. And a peace that will let all of men live in freedom, reaping the just rewards of their honest toil.
Thy will be done, Almighty God.
Amen.
