Why does MSNBC KEEP using Hillary Rosen as the Dem. to put up against the Repub.?
She keeps slamming Obama at every term. She called him naive, agreeing with McCain, said he has made mistakes regarding his al Qaeda comments in the last few days, that he's gotten a pass on his "lack of experience," etc. And whatever the Repub. says about Obama, she AGREES with! She kept being introduced as a Dem. strategist who happens to be a Hillary supporter but would be happy with WHOMEVER won the Dem. nomination. :eyes:

2. I saw it
That's why I shut the shit off today. Obama's attack on McCain yesterday should be all over the place, and nothing. McPeak's commercial, nowhere. I do not know why the Clintons are able to intimidate the media like this, it's ridiculous.

6. I'm glad I didn't shut it off. I just saw that Sen. Rockefeller endorses Obama!
That's another superdelegate for Obama!

12. Oops. True. Did you also hear the newest one that al Qaeda is against Obama?
Seriously-Islamic militants are writing on their blog that despite some attempts to portray Obama as a Muslim, they reject (and denounce) him. :D Good news!

26. Look how many times they've managed to !J'ACCUSE ! the media of "bias", and how
the media has actually responded to it. Just in the past couple of days, she did the pathetic "Saturday Night Live" believes me, does Barack need a pillow, moment. That got huge coverage. And I was shocked to see that Dan Abrams used as PROOF of Media Bias, the Comedy Central Anti-Hillary Headquarters skit. Dan says that because it made it to Comedy Central, it means its real.

Seriously, he said that.

Mostly, its MSNBC pushing this. And we all know there is something really fishy going on there, except for Olbermann who seems to call the Clinton Camp on their b/s routinely.

3. Hillary Rosen has been banging on Howard Dean lately too.
Clinton is loyal to Clinton, not to party.

I saw a couple posts here that said the DNC should be dismantled. The DLC has supporters here I guess...

7. Yup. And it looks more and more like a Clinton supporter is also a Repub. ally.
Very sad.

30. That's a repulsive thing to say
You should be ashamed of yourself for making that comparison about Clinton supporters. I just got off another thread where I ripped a Clinton supporter for saying nasty shit about Senator Obama and I'm going to do it here also. You should hang your head.

9. She was on yesterday ceding points to McCain...
and pointing out what she believes were mistakes by Obama. I was wondering the same thing, wouldn't it behove MSNBC to label her as a Clinton supporter instead of a representative of the party?

11. That's the same Hillary Rosen who used to head the RIAA.
During her tenure at the RIAA is when they started suing teenagers for 1,000's of dollars for sharing a few songs on the Internet. And it's the same RIAA that makes sure that the record companies get to keep almost all of the money they take in while starving the artists who actually make the music and who deserve better than that.

(I apologize for being off topic but I have to rant against the RIAA every chance I get.)

19. In addition to her constant slams at Obama, she attacks everyone who supports him
when Tucker Carlson had a segment where he, Rosen and some guy were actually discussing whose endorsement hurt or helped more, Louis Farachan or John Kerry. Whether she liked him or not, Kerry has been an excellent surrogate and there was of course his email list, where Kerry sent a message with his endorsement and a link for people to contribute to Obama. She ignored that both Clintons had worked to get his endorsement. He also is a leader and statesman who will be a good surrogate in the fall - for either candiate.

HOW she does Tuesday, saying she can wait for Obama to mess up or do something to gain support and come back in PA. :eyes:

She probably has reservations about what he might mean to Israel

was angry about re: those pictures.

41. Oh yes, god forbid they give any airtime to someone who supports Clinton
Hillary Rosen IS a democrat, by the way. And she happens to be right -- McCain will eat Obama for lunch with some of the naive things he has said about foreign policy. Why do you have such a problem with people voicing their opinions?

43. She was not there to defend Hillary Clinton. They were discussing OBAMA and she was there to defend
HIM. And she was WRONG. MCCAIN is the naive one, replying to something Obama didn't say. Obama was answering a hypothetical question. He NEVER said al Qaeda isn't in Iraq NOW.
