Could Tweety be any dumber?
He just said he thought the days of this "left/right" anti-Americanism had ended in the 1960's.

He obviously has no clue about one of the most important economic issues of our time.

Jeeze, no wonder the media is so lame and the American public makes such bad polirtical judgements, with uninformed jokers like him called "journalists."

It's one thing to understand and disagree. But Tweety is making it clrear that he is totally out of touch.

He needs to go to school and learn Issues 101.

4. He also said the molotov cocktails
Look very home-made

Ooo, and he just asked if the protestors in Argentinia were "left-wing."

7. Isnt't that the POINT of a Molotov cocktail -- that you can make it
at home? It's not like a BOMB you have to buy, but it's just a bottle with some gasoline in it.

STUPID STUDID TWEETY!!!

8. Bwhahah.. Where does one buy commercially made molotov cocktails?

Obvious :sarcasm: agent Mike.

Tweety probably thinks you find them at the liquor store
Pre-mixed in four-packs like those Jack Daniels cocktails. Between the wine coolers and the Beer Nuts on aisle nine.

5. That goes for all the news media. I noticed that as well.
The seem to think that all protests are the same and he even went so far as to say that the protests were Anti-American.

I would argue that they are Anti-Bush, Anti-Globalization, and Anti-US policy.

9. Mrs. Greenjeans just said Clinton wasn't as disliked!
I DON'T BELIEVE IT ... Said there were protests but not nearly as large as when Shrubya goes abroad. Admits the war has a LOT to do with this.

DUH!

10. Well obviously not. They aren't protesting America. They're protesting ..
...the Idiot In Chief... The signs say "Go Home Bush", they do NOT say "GO Home American"....

That distinction is plainly too fucking obvious for the whores to see...

14. They see it, and they know it.
They've been given orders to keep their mouths shut though and downplay it. That's why they keep bringing up Clinton and saying it's all about globalization. x(

13. He's in the same bubble as Bush. The days when "newsmen" had clues
ended in the 1970's, around the time when Cronkite retired.

18. MY God is he an idiot
If he botehred to pay attention to e-mails from humble viewers, we should send him some.

But it's obvious he is so clueless that it's not worth the trouble.

I used to think he's narrow minded. Now I realize he is IGNORANT.

He just talked about them wearing bandanas and how if they were in America they wouldn't have to and David Gregory said, "No, it's actually so they can withstand the tear gas." And Tweety said, "No, but some are wearing masks."

Every time they make remarks like that (comparing rich and poor and writing all this off because "they want to be us" or "we're rich and they're not") the more it becomes obvious that CLASS WARFARE HAS ALREADY BEGUN ... WE'VE GOT TO START FIGHTING BACK@!!!!!!!!!

57. Probably more so! Of course you're right, you'd be arrested on spot
Just for wearing it. You could be sitting on the sidewalk, with some Freedom Fries minding your own business and off to the slammer you'd go thanks to the UNpatriot Act.
