MSNBC: "A challenge for (Dean) to tone down his act"
Edited on Sat Feb-12-05 09:53 PM by Bluebear
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6954825/

According to who? MSNBC? Hahahaha. The media whores are all whirling like dervishes in their coverage,


hoping for/advising the Doctor to "tone down" his "act" and not call out this Administration on its pathetic record.

Oh, and if you happen to vote in their "Question of the Day" at

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3080261/

about whether Dr. Dean will 'help or hurt' Democrats as our chair, won't you also scroll down to "tell them what you think of today's question"....I asked whether a similar poll was run when Mehlman was elected as RNC chair and if not, why not? O8)

7. Tone it down? Like they "toned down" the war? Hell no!
Sheesh... Dean has barely opened his mouth and already they're starting.

Oh the pretty seething little snakes!

8. How incredibly appropriate! "Whirling Dervishes"! Bwahahaha!
Everyone, go vote with your dollars if you can. They take a minimum of $10. We sent $25 through DU link, and in the e-mail, I said last chance Dems, Dear Dr. Dean, don't let us down.

Come on DU'ers, let us show them one more time.

10. Did ya'll see Fuax news this morning?
There was an interview with two pundits. Subject: Dean New DNC Chair. Instead of showing the pundits, they just played their commentary while broadcasting the Dean Scream over and over and over at a low volume under the chatter of the guests. Disgusting.

12. Has the DLC accomplished anything lately, which makes
it more important to go to them for a quote, than to one of us at DU?

How does the number of individuals who have donated to DU over the past year compare to the number of indviduals who have donated to the DLC?

message. Dean could steer the debate a few feet to the left, and these status quo, corporate sponges so want to avoid that.

20. Watch out "Congress Critters", the masses, we are coming soon.
Shape up soon or you may all just be swept out. It is possible still. Time is short, though. "They" know it, and they know the masses are waking up. Good for the masses, bad for them.

This is what I sent:

Why didn't you ask that question when the RNC head was sElected?
I'm a repub, but you know what? I'm with Dean 110%!!! Pump up the
volume Doc!!!

Stole the last line from DU, but I thought it closed the message nicely :)

23. A challenge for MSNBC to be a REAL media.
Informing the American public of FACTS instead of MISINFORMING 55%.

32. I say screw it
things can't get any worse for democrats and I don't think by becoming republican-lites we're going to gain anything in the integrity department or upset the broken status quo any. I for one hope Dr. Dean makes em nervous, screams his way all the way to 2008 and if he decides fu*k it. If we're going to be labeled looney liberals from the left then lets take it farther to the left than they can imagine and truly draw the lines between democrat and republican. donb't distill your speech Dean. Tell the dems what we need to hear.

37. "Oft-mocked scream?" Present company included?
Edited on Sun Feb-13-05 12:38 AM by rocknation
“I’m going to be a little careful about the directional mike this time,” he says at the start of a recent speech, a reference to the microphones that amplified his oft-mocked scream in Iowa. His “wow” at the size of the crowd this time sounds more like a flat statement of fact.

"a reference to the microphones that amplified his oft-mocked scream?" I don't recall any of the MSM mentioning that when the scream actually happened. For MSNBC, this is practically a confession, LOL!

:headbang:

On edit: Note their Alfred-Hitchcock-movie camera angle, trying to make him look kooky:
