Edited on Wed Nov-21-07 06:52 PM by Gabi Hayes
care to guess what they were?

you'll be amazed, pretty much, especially by the omissions

here's a starter:

Number 5--->The four hundred dollar haircut

that's right

1. I sure hope Bill Schneider included himself on that list...
But of course to do so would be an insult to turkeys. Why the hell anyone would care what Bill Schneider has to say is beyond me.

2. Bill Schneider is a fascist tool - always has been and always will be.
And Edwards should come to his senses and realize this is what the corporate media does to ANY Dem who is not a corporatist shill. Kerry countered the swifts with enough documents and counterattacks to sink a Naval fleet - but the corporate media MUTED the response and the counters.

Just as they muted or edited out most of the entire campaign from both Kerry and Edwards.

Edwards constantly blaming Kerry for 2004 is horseshit and he should know by now what the media can do WHEN they want to.

The trumped up attacks on Edwards haircut will be on a lot of end of the year top ten lists, and will it be Edwards' fault? No. It will be the corpmedia's fault - just like it was a problem in 2004.

John - think KARMA. If you reify talking points against Kerry, then it may come back at you in ways you won't be able to control either.

3. SECONDED!
His relentless beating the dead horse about the Dean scream was sickening. He got more airtime than Anna Nicole for that crap!

P.O.S. 100%
Traitor

9. The 'Dean' scream...
when the Democrats saw what the repukkers were doing, why didn't they (or someone with money) turn it to Dean's advantage by offering a $ million dollars to anyone who could out 'rebel yell' the Govner?
Why WHY Why why why?
It would have been great media- Howard Dean playing a tin pot recording of his 'scream' at Dem rallies, and contestants lining up to challenge it. it would have mocked the pigmedia- forced them to ignore their own production!
And best yet, Howard's 'rebel yell' could have been granted the award for the best, regardless of how mocked up it really was, puny in comparison to some of the good ole boys...imagine the sour looks on rightwing faces!
But NOOOOO!
Wouldn't be fair....to the busheviks

11. bill schneider is a senior fellow with the fucking American Enterprise Institute.
That organization is the lead poisoning in the American toy.

And CNN never says word one about his affiliation, much less why that might taint his view. But it's very easy to see if you just watch him over a stretch of time. Watch how his eyes and his facial expressions betray his real feelings every time. You can always tell - he's gleeful about Democratic Party troubles, and worried when the bad times are the GOP's.

8. Of course not - corporate media PROTECTS the public from stories like that
about their GOP allies.
