If this is true it's a huge blunder, and a stink should be made of it for no other reason than to wipe that smarmy smirk off of Aaron Brown's face.

IF this is true, it is MONUMENTALLY STUPID on CNN's part. But, alas, I expect no repercussions for CNN. Now if Fox did something similar, you'd never hear the end of it in the lamestream press......

CNN has basicly come unglued along with the NY Times and about 80% of those who voted for Senator Surrender and Boy Wonder.

Did you stay tuned in to see if they actually did run a "spook" story? If it wasn't about spies/CIA, then obviously this was on purpose. Even if a CIA story did follow, it probably still was on purpose by some a-hole, but they'd have their CYA excuse.

I know what I saw! Aaron Brown said something about Colin Powell, and it showed him in a uniform, younger. Then it showed Condi Rice at a podium, and brown said UP Next, and it went to a comercial. But right before the comercial all by itself on the bottom it said. CNN.......SWAPPING SPOOKS......CNN. When the show restarted after comercial, it had the usual lines at bottom that were sentences, like "President Bush today.....yada yada. you know what I mean.

I just got done e-mailed Aaron Brown, and 2 other departments at CNN.

Just more leftist racism...Did you hear the clip on Shumer? He called Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, "Judge Tom"....a derogatory term....likening him to "uncle Tom"....

It wasn't a mistake either. Shumer ran through Thomas's title and then slipped in the slur. He said, "Justice Clarence Thomas, Uh, judge Thomas, Judge Tom..."

No this was definitely NOT in reference to the CIA and the word spook refering to spies. He was talking about Powell and Rice.

They talking about another subject entirely. Spy swapping maybe?

You're probably right. But this is the network that misspelled Niger Innis' name in their caption a few years back.

Spook is an old 50's racist term for Negro's. It shouldn't surprise anyone, the left HATES succesful conservatives African-Americans.

In Texas in the 50's and 60's and in New York in the early 60's every time I heard the term spook it was a black referring to a white. Spook - ghost - white .....

Big deal. What does "SPOOKS" mean? Sounds like something related to Halloween?

If this is true, people will definitely be fired for it. It IS sort of hard to believe they'd let something this bad slip by.

"SWAPPING SPOOKS"

I'm fairly certain that if this happened the tag lines got mixed up with the CIA news. Lots of news re: CIA and
replacements.

No one will know it's true because it's just a rumor feeding off panic.
