Hardball = Edwards / Coulter analysis

[RadiDem]

on now

[RadiDem]

1. John Edwards on with Tweety now!

[The Witch]

2. feed me! i can see his pretty face on the TV

across the cubicle but can't hear what he said. How'd he do?

[RadiDem]

5. He did GREAT - calmly condemning the hate speech of Anthrax Annie and others

[RadiDem]

10. Don't you mean 'handsome' 'manly' face? ;-)

[eleny]

3. Twee: "Should people buy AC's books?

John Edwards: "No"

Excellent.

[Supersedeas]

6. Doesn't get much more superficial than superficial Tweety

[sal paradise]

4. Matthews just asked Edwards...

if he thought people should buy Coulter's books. He simply said "no." However, (keep in mind I'm a big Edwards fan), this entire incident and fued between them is probably going to end up helping them both a great deal. Coutler sold a TON of books last night, I'm sure, and this is fanatastic publicity for Edwards. Before this, it would have suprised me to see him get this much one-on-one time on such a widely watched commentary show as Hardball. They (Edwards and Coulter) ought to have an agreement to keep this kind of stuff going, if they don't already.

7. It's also the day her screed was released in paperback - why does the whoremedia play along?

By booking hatemongers to help them sell more books.

Maybe they can defend booking them when a book is first released, but when a book goes paperback????

8. Chris pointed out that it was a mistake...

For Elizabeth to think Coulter would have some shame. Apparently it's also too much to expect him to have a little shame!

[RadiDem]

9. They're not even talking about her BIG LIE of the day - that Saddam = Al Qaeda

[sal paradise]

11. Is Donny right?

What does everyone think? Should Edwards back off this thing? Is it bad publicity, self defeating?

[RadiDem]

12. He should tie in ALL the RW hate mongers, Beck, Limppig, Savage-Weiner et al

[sal paradise]

13. Did you see Beck's newest cause? Let's get every professor in American packing heat!

[sal paradise]

14. And concerning arming professors...

From personal experience, I'd be terrified if some of my professor's were armed with lethal weapons during class. Beck goes on about psychological screening. Here's some news for him: an extremely high percentage of professors deal with depression and anxiety issues... most of them wouldn't qualify according to his standards. I've seen professors FREAK OUT because a cell phone goes off during lecture. Do I really want them to be carrying a 9mm? I'll take my chances without them.

15. They should all stand up and get a spine

No more "swiftboating" allowed. Edwards is right. No more of this kind of hate mongering without a fight. I didn't agree at all with Donny Deutsch. He is trying to discourage fighting back. Don't listen to him.
