Charles Gibson is a smug elitist prick

Like you, I went off the deep end last night after seeing the Nightline installment of the interview.

It was an adversarial attack - just like you said. When I heard the drumbeat questions with "for it then, against it now..." line and then the question "Would you like to revise and extend your remark?" (or something very close to that), I went ballistic!

After this ONE interview, I have seen more specific details of Gov Palin's policy and plans than I have been able to garner from a year-and-a-half of suffering the Obama rise to popularity (and now thankfully, his descent to footnote status).

Thanks for your post.

There, I feel better now.

Cathartic.

Gibson came off as uppity. Gosh, can I say that without being racist? :)

I rarely write emails or letters when I’m upset, but I did to ABC regarding Gibson.

Just compare his “interview” with 0bama to Palin.

Gibson got what he wanted - talking points for the leftwing's drones.

And those drones predictably, are all singing the same tune.

I heard NPR regurgitating the exact same talking points as all other MSM outlets this morning.

As a military member, I can say that if I had the same lack of integrity in my job as these partisan-hack journalists have in theirs, I would be rotting in prison.

They fixed my title. That’s OK with me. :)

My kids' 16-17 year old friends were spewing talking points within a hour of the interview. Most hadn't seen it themselves and all were saying the same things.

“Gibson got what he wanted-talking points for the leftwing drones.” Maybe, but he caused something he didn't mean to do. Gibson and reporters like him are uniting the rightwing and former Hillary supporters fast and furious. History will show that people like Gibson was a big factor in electing McCain/Palin.

He has to something because he sure isn’t a competent reporter. Probably just another jackass liberal Democrat.

Shortly after Gov. Palin was selected as the Republican VP candidate the BarryO campaign went into overdrive running against her. It was very obvious and it made me very happy. The more they compared BarryO to Gov. Palin, the more they admitted that 1) BarryO thinks she is the one to beat thus raising her credility and 2) Biden was a terrible pick for VP.

Over the last couple of weeks, it has become apparent to me that the liberal media is also running against Gov. Palin, and Mr. Gibson's interview went a long way to underscoring that point. (I bet he never did and never would take the same tone with Hillary that he did with Gov. Palin.)

So now we have the liberal media and the BarryO campaign running against and beating up a woman. Their fear is palpable. Their desperation is on parade for anyone who wants to see it. And I say let them have at it. The more they attack Gov. Palin, the more solid her support becomes. The more they demean and belittle her, the more her support grows. Their biases are showing, and they are not pretty. The less they do to hide them, the more their support will erode.

If you are of the mind, pray that God would protect and strengthen Gov. Palin, and carry her through this grueling process. And fear not, despite dire warnings to the contrary, Pres Clinton didn't take this country down. Neither will a BarryO presidency, though it would be most grievous to so many of us. Put not your trust in men or the strength of horses.

And lastly, this election cycle, starting from about the Harriet Meiers selection to the Supreme Court, has been very good for this nation for it has drawn many citizens into the business of governing this nation. We have been far more active as ordinary citizens now than we have been in the past. May we never forget this lesson...of the people, for the people, by the people.

Oh yeah.....Charlie is a smug little puke, isn't he? < /verbosity>

So now we have the liberal media and the BarryO campaign running against and beating up being beat up on by a woman.

Fixed for you. The truth is, that Governor Palin comes off as more honest, and more real than that poseur Gibson, and it shows...

"He was acting as a prosecutor examining what he thought was a hostile witness."

It looked hostile, like he was trying to trip her up. Only needed the Round Robin of "Guess the Leader of these foreign countries..."

Gibson is a smug elitist?

Huh! Thanks Mr. Obvious...I never made the connection

[databoss]

Just watched CG and SP he repeatedly tried to “steer” and “control” her while they were walking at her old High School and each time she deftly pulled away from his near grasp...it was weird...he’s weird...came off as a condescending “I know more than you” jerk....he thought he single-handedly was going to save the Obemenon from ruin - pompous asses! - just like his bosses the 2 O’s OBAMA/OPRAH...again the McCain campaign out foxed the Dims, I kept asking myself why ABC and CG? Now I know...the “Bullet” played ABC/MSM like a fiddle...!
