How about “Are we still debating minority voting impediments when uniformed Black Panthers armed with clubs threaten voters and get a pass from the US Attorney General?”

You mean someone heard her say that? I didn’t think anyone watched her anymore. Her ratings are the lowest of all TV news reporters. And no wonder the reason they are...with talk like this.

If she was just reading the news to us it would be no problem...

It is when she tries to think then utters what passes for the results of the effort that causes problems...

Is she dumb enough to believe comments like this will win her any viewers? Some of the town hall protesters are her beloved libs and independents, not just the evil conservatives she maligns on a daily basis.

Maybe she wants controversy, anything to show she’s relevant.

Obama Insists He’s Honest Despite Softball Questions
Jillian Bandes
Friday, August 14, 2009

Obama’s “town hall” meeting in Montana was filled with lengthy cheers and softball questions, despite the administration’s vows that questions would not be pre-determined and that tickets would be handed out on a first-come first-serve basis.

“We haven’t pre-selected anybody,” Obama said when starting the Q&A session after a lengthy address that highlighted his views on health care legislation

Culture of Corruption by Michelle Malkin FREE

Yet, five of the seven questions taken included compliments for the President. “Welcome, and thank you, and I believe in reform as well,” said one participant when addressing the President. “Thank you – I’m someone who had a job as the result of your stimulus program,” said another. Towards the end of the session, Obama actually had to solicit a question that voiced more dissent – ostensibly so the event could appear more legitimate.

The man he selected put together a question that was virtually made in Hollywood.

“I’m someone who makes a living selling private insurance,” said the questioner, and then he asked Obama why he has changed his rhetoric from “health care reform” to “health insurance reform.” Obama said there had been no malicious intent there, but simply that he thought insurance companies needed a push.

Because Obama is “a constitutional scholar,” said one Montanan, another participant in the “town hall” wanted to read him the opening lines to the Montana State Constitution.

“We the people of Montana grateful to God for the quiet beauty of our state, the grandeur of our mountains, the vastness of our rolling plains, and desiring to improve the quality of life, equality of opportunity and to secure the blessings of liberty for this and future generations do ordain and establish this constitution,” she read.

“What a great way to end this town hall,” Obama said.

Some commentators said the event was slightly more heated than the Tuesday town hall meeting Obama held in Portsmouth, N.H. The staged nature of that event is likely what led Obama to be so insistent that this town hall was legitimate.

Yes, yes. I always accept the opinions of a host/newsreader, you know— someone whose intellect is, at best, a mile wide and an inch deep. If Overpaid Katie says it, it must be true.

I think the protest is really about the loss of freedoms - all of them. Thus, healthcare, taxes, cap and trade, and yes, the Second Amendment all are intertwined. They aren’t and can’t be separate.

Are we really still pretending that Katy Collic is an objective journalist?

Katie Couric, a frightfully ignorant ‘news anchor’ thinks she can comment on other people’s mental capacity? She’s woefully mistaken- she hasn’t the intellectual ability to do so- Katie is irrelevent, and certainly doesn’t deserve the position she has

Poor wittle Katie.
She won’t have a job much longer.
A few more of her geriatric viewers
pass away every day.
And Obamacare will accelerate
the decline in her demographic.

Isn’t it lovely how the MSM are hurrying their own decline by promoting a government health care plan that will help kill off the few people left paying attention to them?

If the President was speaking at a church, I can guarantee there were at least a half dozen handguns around, a minimum of one per SS agent, and I'd bet on back up pieces.

The only problem she appears to be having is a question of what man brought the handgun...
