Derrick Z: Stephanopoulos, Gibson 'Tried to Eviscerate Obama'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 04/19/2008 4:08:44 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

The left-wing blogosphere's outrage against ABC ["Boycott Fig Newtons!"] over its allegedly unfair questioning of Obama during Wednesday's debate has seeped over into the MSM in the form of Derrick Z. Jackson's Boston Globe column of this morning. While the headline moots the matter as a question "Tough questions or just plain bias?", there's no doubt of the answer in Jackson's mind. Just two paragraphs in, the columnist unleashes [emphasis added]:

"In some 1,600 words of transcript, Charles Gibson and George Stephanopoulos tried to eviscerate Obama in Philadelphia on Wednesday."

Bring it on, moonbats!!! Keep pointing out how one of the MSM’s leading groups (ABC) is so mean to poor widdle Ubama!!
Bwahahahaha! Keep biting the hand that feeds you and see what happens. A few minutes ago I heard a snippet of ABC news on the local radio station and the reporter made a very snide remark about this very thing—ending with a quote from Hil for Ubie, “GET OVER IT.” LOL!!!!!! :-)

Love when they eat their own.
Kudos to Charlie and the short one for ‘attacking’ Ubama at the debate—they finally started acting like REAL journalists for a change instead of just mouthpieces for the MSM propping up Ubie!!! :-)

Oh, that's so untrue. I mean, it would be impossible for Gibson and Stephanopoulos to "eviscerate" Obama.

I say "impossible" because Obama has no GUTS.

What nonsense. All the more transparent coming from a black newspaper reporter with a very clear bias himself.

Just a tiny taste of what will happen if H! gets the nomination.

Cities will burn.

Somehow, I have a feeling that both Stephanopoulos and Gibson tried to save the Dims’ candidate (Obama) by putting out all possible garbage today, more than 6 months to the election, so that come November nobody care about it any longer. Now, the question is: does Obama have any other association with some loonies that we have not discovered yet?

Call the “waaambulance.” Did Gibson or Georgie hold up a Bible and ask them about it, like was done in one of the Republican debates? They asked legitimate questions. It’s going to be a long campaign season if the Obamaites cry foul everytime someone asks a hard question of their “man.”

The problem with Derrick isn't his viewpoint or bias, it's his incredibly lame predictability.

He hasn't ever said anything interesting or original that I am aware of. Even someone as intellectually sterile and dishonest as Maureen Dowd will, on occasion, unload (an almost certainly borrowed) bon mot or express the slightest skepticism about the latest mainstream fad.

Derrick is the Boston Globe's house [Negro]. He makes the bow tied bum kissers feel OK about their hidden disdain for blacks. (If more of them would only avail themselves of publicly funded abortion "services"!)

In the service of his Ivy Leagued credentialed massas, Derrick will never step out of line. He always reflects perfectly their preconceived notions of what their grandparents called "the coloreds" are supposed to think and act. It must be a frustration to him and his massas, that at the retail level more blacks read (and agree with) Howie Carr than him. But his audience isn't the readership, it's the editors, his massas.

I agree. The DNC convention riot(s) will make the Rodney King verdict riot look like a bar brawl.

The backlash here is definitley saying more about Obama's supporters; than their targets and the issue here. And the backlash is intended to inflame and invite even more of the same; or worse.

This is no different than fatwah' and jihad talk. . .it is abject hate and intolerance, but with a different 'brand' on it. As well, these are criticsims are embedded with threats. The bigger message here, should be a wake-up call to the 'Reason-capable'. It is good - and should be clarifying - to see these 'Obama devotees' up close and personal and realize their committment to his success and do hope more people see the larger warning signs here.

The 'Left' is not capable of producing better. These people are, who they are. . .and they are ugly and scary to behold. The whole 'lot' of them. And because of 'who' they are; we can ill afford to encourage or facillitate their success.

Well its obvious slavery played apart in Ubama’s moderately tough questions. No wonder this puss wont go on Fox. Wait until he gets asked specific policy questions.

That’s what I think too. They were vetting him. So he can say the same thing hillary does regarding her past. “That’s old news and has already been addressed”

Plus there isn’t much difference between barak and hillary’s policies. What else could they question the both on?

I don't want to see anyone injured or killed but the thought of the Dems going crazy and destroying the Party gives me "pleasurable moments of reflection".

I don't frequent Bowling Alleys but I can't ever remember seeing too many people from the Black community frequenting them. I don't think Bowling is a "Black" sport.

This could very well blow up in the media’s collective face. Poll and poll show that there is a “perceived” liberal bias within the media. It is fast approaching the point where what you are going to see is an all out assault on the average person’s sensibilities. Let’s face it, they’re not even trying to be subtle about it. They are all in bed with the false messiah and the longer this goes on the higher the likelihood of a backlash against them and their hand picked candidate.

More BS. Some African-Americans can’t talk about anything without engaging in melodrama.

That may or may not be true, but bowling a 37 is clear evidence he's a pansy

You get to throw a bowling ball twenty times down a alley and all you can get is a "37" ?

I betcha most 10 years can beat his score never having picked up a bowling ball !!!

I believe I was around 10 my first and only attempt at bowling and I did indeed bowl a 45.

In America we have things called elections.
People win - people lose.

Are you writing from Africa now?

I remember the Chicago Convention. Add more volatility and bitterness and rage to that, and we'll see.

Maybe we will not, though because it is beginning to look like H! really is toast.

You’re correct. I was just making an observation and trying to be a little bit “humorous” at which I failed miserably. LOL !!!

Derrick Z. Jackson can get back to me when somebody has the guts to ask that scumbag Obama about his cocaine use with gay lover, Larry Sinclair.
