Two Very Different ABC Interviews: Charlie Gibson w/Obama vs. Charlie Gibson w/Palin [Repost]

ABC "News"

"The Palin interview, on the other hand, was her first major interview. I don't expect "How does your mom feel about this?" type questions when she hasn't faced a single interview regarding policy."

Fine. Could you please post barrys "first interview regarding policy" in which some of the same questions were asked?? Thanks.

Sorry about the typo - I have fat fingers.

[Plutarch]

This Gibson Obama vs. Palin thing is just begging for a quality video montage treatment. Could even make a good campaign ad.

[NoGrayZone]

ROFL!!!! You owe me a keyboard!

I think that Palin learned an important lesson: They're going to try to tear her to shreds.

Unfortunately, this will compel her to be more reserved and ambiguous in her future interviews.

Excellent find!

I thought it was funny, as most typo’s are. Plus it helps to be personally fluent in Typonese...

Sarah Barracuda, reserved? No way!
When you are grounded in core values, you needn’t worry about communicating them.
You make it THEIR problem.
Sarah has struck just the right cords!

BTTT!

GREAT JOB, quesney! Newsbusters has dug up the interview that Charlie Gibson did with John Edwards when he was chosen as a VP four years ago.

It's an interesting contrast.

I've spent years listening to liberals, considering their opinions and positions, evaluating their conduct and their arguments. Here's my conclusion.

Liberals, as a group, are godless, immoral, arrogant, ignorant and hateful.

YES THEY ARE !!

Is there video of the Obama-Gibson interview to put along side the Palin interview?

[Donald Rumsfeld Fan]

This interview with Obama was after he clinched the nomination after a 12 month battle. That's not when you ask hard-hitting policy questions - Obama had his positions questioned and he explained them throughout the debates.

Obama has never had a comparable hardball interview from the ABC, NBC, CBS or CNN too my knowledge.

The msm has been pitching softballs to 0bama.

Good post. Who woulda thunk?

[SmartInsight]

Excellent posting.

Gibson has been despicable the way he was badgering Palin, while not asking a single hard question of Obama, even thought Obama is running for PRESIDENT and Palin only for VP.

He was really trying to ask something they can use against Sarah.

“GIBSON: Would you favor putting Georgia and Ukraine in NATO?
GIBSON: Because Putin has said he would not tolerate NATO incursion into the Caucasus.
GIBSON: And under the NATO treaty, wouldn’t we then have to go to war if Russia went into Georgia?
GIBSON: And you think it would be worth it to the United States, Georgia is worth it to the United States to go to war if Russia were to invade.
GIBSON: Let me turn to Iran. Do you consider a nuclear Iran to be an existential threat to Israel?
GIBSON: So what should we do about a nuclear Iran? John McCain said the only thing worse than a war with Iran would be a nuclear Iran. John Abizaid said we may have to live with a nuclear Iran. Who’s right?
GIBSON: So what do you do about a nuclear Iran?
GIBSON: But, Governor, we’ve threatened greater sanctions against Iran for a long time. It hasn’t done any good. It hasn’t stemmed their nuclear program.
GIBSON: What if Israel decided it felt threatened and needed to take out the Iranian nuclear facilities?
GIBSON: So if we wouldn’t second guess it and they decided they needed to do it because Iran was an existential threat, we would cooperative or agree with that.
GIBSON: So if it felt necessary, if it felt the need to defend itself by taking out Iranian nuclear facilities, that would be all right.
GIBSON: We talk on the anniversary of 9/11. Why do you think those hijackers attacked? Why did they want to hurt us?”

Gone are the days where we are left to wonder what was left on the cutting room floors. It is clear now that last night ABC used the 10 minutes before the interview to define Gov. Palin and used a poorly edited interview in an attempt to back it up. Then the tried to put the cherry on top with two libs and a RINO.

Ten years ago this may have worked. No more. Monday morning Bortz, Limbaugh, Hannity and others will all be bringing Americans up to speed with "the rest of the story".

I genuinely hope the McCain campaign demands ABC rebroadcast the entire interview or risk having access to their candidates cut off for the rest of the campaign.

Thank God for the millions of Americans who think for themselves and resist the relentless, ceaseless, ubiquitous, ruthless propaganda bombarding them constantly from The Democrat Party Propaganda Machine, also known as the "Mainstream Newsmedia", the "Corrupt Newsmedia", et al.

In 1929, Vertov filmed Man with a Movie Camera. In one scene, a woman in a shooting gallery shoots a swastika-bearing likeness of Hitler, popping open a sign reading "Father of Fascism". What did the Russians know that we didn't?

BTW, is there any practical way to extract clips from the above link?

[Thane_Banquo]

What the left-wing media hacks like Charlie Gibson don’t understand is that, thanks to their soft touch on Senator Obama, when people go into the voting booth, they’re going to think, “I honestly know nothing material about this Obama guy, so I’m voting for McCain.”

This is begging for video.
