CNNs Miles O'Brien is really trying to label the Dem's as "cut and runners"

Edited on Wed Nov-30-05 10:43 AM by NNN0LHI

Anyone else notice that? He is interviewing Senator Ben Nelson and good old Miles came right out of the box with that Rovian talking point. The prick must still want that ride on the Space Shuttle real bad.

1. He's a scumbag liar if he is

No 'cut and run', Murtha wanted a withdrawel to the periphery in 6 months.

See Dems are screwing up here as well by letting the media and the Repubs distort Murtha's astute analysis.

4. cnn doesn't want out of

Iraq. Look how hard they worked to get us in there..If we "cut and run"..where would the ratings go?

As long as the chimpy gang is in charge we will be Iraq and it will keep going down the sewer..miles can swill on his own words.

5. I disagree! I think Miles was trying to get SOMETHING out of Ben Nelson

except a positive reaction to the speech, to W, to the war. I think Nelson disappointed even CNN as a spokesperson for the opposition party. It was astounding.

14. It is your right to disagree

But when the first question out of Miles mouth includes the same talking point Bush used against Kerry last year my BS meter goes crazy.

Remember when Chimpy sniveled last year before the election about Kerry "He will cut and run"? Well Miles just pulled the same crap on Nelson.

That is what I saw anyway.

15. I agree. I was just so upset by Nelson's representation...

of the opposition party that I was paying more attention to him, and angered more by him.

6. If I were Ben Nelson, I would get up and go look under O'Brien's chair,

and behind his back. When Miles asks why I was doing that, I would reply, "I am looking for Karl Rove. Is he feeding you these lines live or did you get your orders ahead of time?"

8. And what's the opposite of "cut and runners"?

"Stumble and fallers"?

That is what Miles was trying to suggest.
