I can't believe this attack on CNN by Soledad O'Brien on Imam Rauf

[stevedeshazer]

She's attacking him mercilessly with nonsense rightie talking points.

I'm really impressed with the guy.

Back after a commercial break.

[stevedeshazer]

1. Okay, now they're saying the Imam is 'far too outspoken'.

This is sickening.

I hope someone else is watching this political lynching.

[MattBaggins]

21. "Far too outspoken"? They find him a bit too uppity don't they?

2. I never cared for Soledad O'Brien. Not surprised at her behavior. n/t

[demosincebirth]

9. She was one of "them" to lead the attack when Bill Clinton's peccadillo turned

the republicans rabid. I think she was on MSNBC, at the time.

3. She's awful.

I'll never forget how she sneered at anti-Bush demonstrators outside the 2004 RNC convention - she said something like, "Why should these people be taken seriously?"

[Swede]

4. You must be watching a different interview.

It was a professional job by Soledad.

[stevedeshazer]

5. Maybe. For decent church-goin' women, with their mean, pinched, bitter, evil faces.

Now that you mention it, it WAS a professional job. I agree.

Surgical, even.

The media has their narrative about this and they are determined to see it through.

[Swede]

6. She asked good questions and let him answer them.

:shrug:

[stevedeshazer]

8. If you consider right wing talking points 'good questions', then yeah it was great.

Can't wait for the transcript. Looking forward to it.

[Swede]

11. Here's the video. Good interview.

[stevedeshazer]

12. Snooze.

Really?

[Swede]

22. So now it's boring? Your judgement on this one is skewed for some reason.

Oh well.

[liberal N proud]

7. Just following the script

[eShirl]

10. I take it you mean: an attack on Imam Rauf by Soledad O'Brien, on CNN?

[stevedeshazer]

14. Yeah.

[JI7]

13. I think she is giving him a chance to respond to the things being said

[stevedeshazer]

15. It was a hatchet job.

Her bitter, pinched, angry face revealed it all.

Look. Look at her angry stance. Tell me Soledad O'Brien hadn't made up her mind.

Bullshit. If I can say that respectfully.

[JI7]

16. she seems to be positive about the Imam when she was talking to Anderson Cooper later on

[stevedeshazer]

17. Great. Anderson Cooper. That guy is in touch.

Really?

[mmonk]

18. So is the Iman backing down?

[stevedeshazer]

19. Um, no.

[spanone]

20. cnn has totally lost it's rudder.
