THE SCROLL BAR ON THE BOTTOM OF CNN'S AARON BROWN SHOW SHOWS "SWAPPING SPOOKS" !!!!
Raise He!! with these bastards!! We all know that is a racial slur as well as a term for government operatives...
GIVE 'EM HELL!!!!
CNN YOU KNOW WHERE YOU CAN GO!
"Sorta like saying "you people" in the wrong crowd. And you gotta be careful about using "boy" as well. Sheesh."
Yeah...but they can't call us ...uh...uh...
(what can't they call us ? )
You guys need to relax! "Spooks" is an old racial term AND it is slang for spies. Today, the head spy and his number two resigned. CNN was just teeing up the next section before going to a break. Perfectly normal. I'm sure nobody noticed the gaff.
"I'm sure nobody noticed the gaff."
Oh really, nobody noticed? Are you calling us nobodies?! ;-]
Even CNN cannot be this stupid.
Is Dan Blather piping in the scroll propaganda? What must that cost!

Of course, not even CNN would do that. No Way!

A possibly coordinated gaffe. Either way, it would make for a great hit piece against Commie News Net.
"Even CNN cannot be this stupid."
You think?
Still you can't do that even if it is an old spy term.
It is also a term used for blacks. If FNC or any conservative called any two black liberals spooks, the MSM would go into complete hysteria. It was inappropriate and disrespectful for CNN to do this. IMHO they were intentionally disrespectful.
L0L! what doofs! L0L
Powell was hardly a spook! L0L
I can t believe they actually said that. L0L I was a spook so Im bustin up over here! L0L
"Spooks" was always used in my old neighborhood as a derogatory term for blacks.
I think the show repeats at 1am tonight. I'll tape it and let you know. Usually it's the same show and scolls (unless they cut it out). How far into the show did it happen?
Not where I`m from in PA, it`s definitely racial.
That is true, but they haven't been replaced, so there has been no "swapping".
We still don't know what story they actually followed with after commercial, so until then...
CNN screwed the pooch BUMP
If a conservative said it they would certainly not give them the benefit of the doubt. Remember a few years ago a someone used the term "niggardly" (meaning stingy with his money). I believe that person was fired. We need to stop the double standard.
Oh, boss. He sezs iz spy talk. No need to worry now. Besides, Miss Scarlet bound to get upset if we acts worried.
