Blitzo apologizes on air, says he will Call Sen. Obama personally

[DainBramaged]

Just a couple of minutes ago while I was in the bathroom, I heard Blitzo apologize for his Reich-wing staff's non-mistake.


These fuckers are going to paint Senator Obama as the boogie man in the minds of the sheep before next year even arrives.

1. They must have been besieged with angry calls and emails!

You know he'd never apologize otherwise...

[rodeodance]

4. i hope so, and hope Du'er's also emailed him

[onecent]

29. You bet I did. Idiots.

[goclark]

31. Emailed and looking for their phone number

There are a few other threads about their "CON News" --- "mistake."
IMO,Democrats must really make a loud noise about this, not just because it's OBAMA but because it had to be intentional.

And, if they get away with this they will continue.

If Obama comes on CNN to address it, then they will be able to repeat the clip over and over again.

If he says nothing, they will still talk about it so that other stations pick up the smear.

Someone needs to not have a job and be identified as the one that did it.
Wolf should also be fired because I can't believe he didn't see it first.

2. I wonder how many times he'll be able to continue to say

Well I didn't mean to call Obama, Osama. And I'm really sorry I called Obama, Osama. And I promise, I will never call Obama, Osama again.....

[DainBramaged]

3. I have to begin to wonder if he's on the White House propaganda payroll

6. CNN Psy-ops

This is an interesting read:

12. It's well documented that CNN is run on phone calls from Dick - Judy

Woodroff was bragging about having lunch with Dick the day his cyber heart malfunctioned. Dead Eye Dick ordered the Spin Room canceled, Crossfire halved and put in a worse time slot, Clark admonished for his comments of the war.

[babylonsister]

13. I think the whole CNN staff is. nt

[AlinPA]

17. I have believed that he has been on their payroll for a long time.

[goclark]

32. No need to wonder ~ Believe!

Wolfie is a CON Artist of the highest degree.

I have watched him in action so many times.

[Ripley]

11. Exactly.

I don't watch Boob Tube news anymore, but this seems sloppy to me. The election is pretty far away to be trying to make word associations stick in the voter's minds. This may have worked if they did it the week before the election, but now? Just makes them look like the Faux-wannabes they are. And aren't Faux's ratings going down? So that means they are imitating Losers.

[theHandpuppet]

5. And how long will it be before they pull this stunt again?

Oh, Blitzen can apologize he wants AFTER the fact... but I'll bet he'll have to do a lot of apologizing from now until Nov 2008 because this won't be the last time this happens.

[tanyev]

7. Apologizing because he got busted.

You'll have try something more subtle next time, Wolfie.

[DainBramaged]

9. I bet my wrinkled old ass if Cafferty was there, shit would have flown

I wish he had his own program. He sure has turned around in his waining years.

[Rose Siding]

14. I doubt that the on-screen "talent" has much to do with CNN graphics

At any rate, it's good to know there was enough pressure put on them to address the gross error.

[DainBramaged]

15. Well, we know the Wingnuts have infiltrated ALL networks

But Blitzo has a Producer doesn't he?

[donco6]

8. Why bother?

No one is going to trust CNN to deliver anything but more slurs against any Dem candidate - Wolfie at the top of the list.

[johnfunk]

10. For those tuning in late... watch this!

This is what the brouhaha is all about:

That graphic ran on yesterday's spleen-warming episode of CNN's The Blitz-uation Room

[sarge43]

16. That's the kind of crap you expect over in Freeperville, not

on a 'professional' international media organization. That's about as subtle as a deer's head in a mail box.

Idiots.

[DainBramaged]

18. Blame fucking Dennis Prager, he's at the forefront of this campaign

Miserable prick was the first Reich-winger I heard spit out Senator Obama's middle name as if he was dirt.

[goclark]

34. Someone said they saw it on Saturday~ when did it start

and how many times was it on before "the mistake" was pulled? :puke:

[zanne]

19. The best things happen when I'm in the bathroom.

Guess where I was when Nixon resigned? Yup.

[DainBramaged]

25. LOL THAT was better than Blitzo apologizing!!!

[Fovea]

27. I was under anesthesia

and it was pretty freaky when I came to.

[stillcool]

20. I wonder how long this will...

continue to go on. Doing the same thing...watching corporate news...and expecting different results? The hoopla created defines the reality. Sad.

[thecrow]

21. I hope Obama records and releases that call

Oh, to be a fly on the wall....

[mogster]

22. First impression is already made, task fulfilled

They operate in the 'Breaking news' space, what's left for history is of no value to these people.
I see very much of the same in Norwegian media.

[wisteria]

23. Notice that mostly all Dem's get smeared and attacked on CNN, except for

a select one or two?

[DainBramaged]

24. CNN and MSNobody Cares bother me immensely

NO "liberuls" on CNN, ONE on MSNBC, with the balance being FAUX dropouts or sad picks like Fucker and Skankboro.


I am so tired of the electronic media NOT speaking for me.

[treestar]

26. The MSM thinks a majority are as stupid and unaware as they are

They depend on people reacting on their "gut" and emotions, which, of course, they encourage at every opportunity.

The People of the US cannot be this stupid, ignorant and emotional. There are the Kool-Aid drinkers and the sheeple, but damn, if it's really this bad, we are in really big trouble.

It is really so obvious, these slips never happen over Republican names or neutral people.

[npincus]

28. too late. He should have done it last night when the graphic showed

on live tv.

After he went to commercial, the "Obama" was switched to "bin Laden"-- he must have been notified of the error.

[Scriptor Ignotus]

30. I know people who work as producers at CNN

and IMO it is largely staffed by moderates or liberals. This was most likely an unintentional error. This wasn't a typo, becuase the "s" and the "b" are too far apart, so it was probably some kind of mental lapse, or as it's known in the scientific community, a "brain fart".

I certainly expect Rush and co. to paint Obama in this manner, but I really, really, doubt CNN did this on purpose.

I hate to have to point this out to everyone, but even Ted Kennedy made this same mistake:

http://www.moviesoundclips.net/sound.php?id=64



Osama and Obama sound alike. That's just the way it is. I just hope it doesn't stick the way past smears have on our candidates...

[devilgrrl]

33. So it was a mistake?????????

BOLLOCKS!!!!

Oh, I get it - Ted Kennedy made that same mistake - that makes it okay....

Who are you trying to kid?

BTW, how's the weather in Fresno these days?

[goclark]

35. Don't buy that scenerio at all

Anyone that heard the discussion would be crazy not to notice if they SPELLED the word correctly while they were LOOKING at the huge graphic of OBL.

I know a few "librrals" that work at CNN too.

One of them said that everything they say or do has to be approved by someone that is Not Liberal.

[devilgrrl]

36. but but but....most of the people that work there are liberals!!!!

:eyes:

What a pile of crap.

:nuke:
