Imus Calls Couric a Rodent, Letterman a Creep, and Rather Crazy (Also revisits Rutgers controversy)

I just think she was unprepared

Is it possible, she just didn't want to answer? She was aware of 'the trap'. I'd do the same - say nothing! But the media put 'their spin' on it. If you don't answer 'our' questions, you are unprepared, no knowledge, etc., etc.

I went there (democraticunderground) about a month ago, just out of curiosity and to stir the pot a bit. I posted 1 thing which was just nicely disagreeing with a comment about Glenn Beck. Immediately... I was banned!
Point is, you’re not allowed to disagree on that sight. Talk about haters. Those people REALLY hate us. They are name callers.

On Free Republic, at least we can discuss without fear of being banned. So, really - there’s no need to be a mcnasty and name call a fellow Freeper. Just because I used to listen to Imus with my brother and found him mildly amusing, doesn’t mean I’m a liberal, or stupid.

Frankly, name calling is NOT good for our cause.

I didn't call you a name. Where are you getting that from?

Just because I used to listen to Imus with my brother and found him mildly amusing

NO! Your post was pleading for others to give him 15 minutes and what a great guy you think he is, blah, blah. My post was to point out the hypocrite Imus is after your pleading. When in fact he's a liar and what he accuses others of - in one minute he turns around and does the same himself! He cannot put together a cohesive sentence nor speak so anyone can understand him. And he says Sarah can't read and she's a dope?

So, really - there’s no need to be a mcnasty and name call a fellow Freeper. Just because I used to listen to Imus with my brother and found him mildly amusing, doesn’t mean I’m a liberal, or stupid. Frankly, name calling is NOT good for our cause

First off - DON'T use 'our' when you post to me! Got it? Secondly, SHOW ME where I called you a name!! NOW!!

I had the opposite reaction - like Imus more ... Parts of that interview were laugh out loud funny. I don’t normally “get” Imus because of a slight hearing problem, but reading him is great. What a stitch. He’s a funny guy.

[MayflowerMadam]

In a short clip I saw, Imus was pretty neutral about Obama, but nasty about Palin. I put him in the same category as BOR. They’re both very shallow.

[lentulusgracchus]

Well, he’s wrong about Sarah, but I think on the whole the interview was pretty interesting and funny.

Lefty pooh-bah types used to say the same thing about Ronald Reagan. They'd fight to get to a microphone or a typewriter, just so they could say it again, with an audience.

Ann Coulter says this is stock, stock, stock liberal trash-talk. Any real conservative is an idiot, an unlettered mouth-breather from South Possum Belly, six toes and a pregnant sister-wife. And a whole bunch of defective genes.

[Cicero]

I was amused what he said about Katie & Co., however.

[lentulusgracchus]

Is it possible, she just didn't want to answer? She was aware of 'the trap'.

The real trap, which the McCain campaign people should have protected her from zealously, was the fact that the interview was taped, not live.

Conservatives should never consent to a taped interview with hostile liberal media -- ever.

Palin was heavily edited by a hostile editor. Bad mistake, taping an interview with an attack 'Rat like Couric.

That said, the main axes of the Gibson/Couric/'RatMediaPlex attack should have been mapped and anticipated, and Palin better prepared to meet them.

Too, the thought has occurred to me that, an honest woman herself, Palin may have been staggered just staring into the basilisk eye of someone as rotten as Couric and seeing all that evil boiling and writhing inside her. Palin may simply have been shocked, to meet someone as intelligently malefic as Couric.

[presently no screen name]

Sarah wasn't shocked at evil! Nothing intelligent about Couric - merely a talking mouth w/evil intent.

From what I read - Sarah did not want to do the interview but the McShame group insisted.

This one incident has been blown out of the water - and it's obvious why. If someone who you know is out to destroy you and you are told you must do the interview - you can bet they will have their piece of flesh - no matter what! Sarah didn't answer for a reason - I'm glad she didn't. $*rew the commie media and all their ilk who fall in line w/lies - that she is not prepared. You can always tell someone who gulped down the propaganda with their 'she's not ready, she needs to brush up, blah blah! Media spawns that ate the poison.

[TChad]

Is it possible, she just didn't want to answer?

I suppose so, but most successful national politicians have mastered the art of not answering the questions they don't want to answer. That should have been part of Sarah's skill set before she went up against hostile interviewers.

The MSM has convinced a large number of voters that Sarah is an idiot. Unless she can correct that impression, she won't win the presidency. She has to prove herself. I think she can do it.

[presently no screen name]

Sorry - if one is so easily convinced by the media - they are too clueless to understand anything of substance. They wouldn’t know truth if it hit them in the face. That goes for anyone who believes/listens to the state run media. Pro-Americans are Sarah’s base!

[TChad]

Sorry - if one is so easily convinced by the media - they are too clueless to understand anything of substance.

Even if you are right, and I don't believe that you are, the job would still be the same: to convince such people to vote for Sarah.

Pro-Americans are Sarah’s base!

I agree, but she will need more than that base to win.

[presently no screen name]

You think voters in this day and age that believes the state run media aren't clueless? WOW!

I have no plans on convincing anyone to vote for Sarah. If anyone is serious about finding truth, they will - just like I and masses of people have. It's not hidden - you gotta want it!

Unlike you, I believe the majority of voters are pro-American. The obstacles are voter fraud and our military not getting their votes counted.

[TChad]

You think voters in this day and age that believes the state run media aren't clueless? WOW!

I think they live inside the liberal bubble, and that they are uninformed about what happens outside that bubble. They never hear a conservative opinion expressed clearly. That does not mean that they are "too clueless to understand anything of substance," as you said in your previous post. There is plenty wrong with the liberal world view, but that does not mean that most liberals are idiots. They aren't.

I have no plans on convincing anyone to vote for Sarah. If anyone is serious about finding truth, they will - just like I and masses of people have. It's not hidden - you gotta want it!

And if they aren't "serious," if they don't "want it," either they won't vote or somehow their votes won't count. Hokay.

Unlike you, I believe the majority of voters are pro-American.

Depends how you define it. I thought you were referring to Sarah's current core supporters, who are certainly strongly pro-American. OTOH if you asked Michael Moore if he was pro-American, he would probably say yes. So with a broad definition, you are certainly right.

The obstacles are voter fraud and our military not getting their votes counted.

Plus the little matter of changing the opinions of millions of voters who currently would not vote for her.

Good night.

No one who WANTS to be 'informed' in this day and age, cannot say they have no place to find the truth. Like I said - if truth hit them in the face they won't know it. It's out there! Millions others hear it. If 'idiots' is objectionable to you - how about deaf, dumb and blind?

Plus the little matter of changing the opinions of millions of voters who currently would not vote for her.

You are repeating propaganda! You have no basis for that statement - only repeating what you are feed. Of course, there are millions of commie anti-Americans who are deceived by the state run media who won't vote for her.

Millions of pro-Americans marched on DC and their local areas - they could have stayed home but their commitment to take back our country was more important to them than their time and money. It was a major show of support FOR their love of this country - moreso, in this economic climate under the Barry regime.

Bottom line - I have more faith in our pro-Americans than you do. I never use broad definitions - because someone 'claims' to be anything means squat!

[TChad]

Bottom line - I have more faith in our pro-Americans than you do.

You seem to have no understanding of my beliefs, and no understanding of the challenges that Sarah faces. You said, "I have no plans on convincing anyone to vote for Sarah." I think that can only help Sarah's campaign.

I am done with being polite to you. Good-bye.

[presently no screen name]

no understanding of the challenges that Sarah faces.

Seems to be status quo w/you - you say 'whatever' and have absolutely no facts to back it up. Ingesting too much state run media?

I'm more than just aware of the challenges that face her - she's a private citizen writing a book - and every cockroach coming out trashing her in 'their own way'. Unlike you, I choose to look at things positive and will uplift her whenever I can - you, however, have taken a negative attitude towards her. You are one of the challenges you say I know nothing about!

I don't convince anyone - I'm not like the state run media who convinces voters. I TEACH to those who express an earnest interest. Convincing is for liberals, teaching is conservative.

I’ve never “gotten” this Imus character. I mean, I don’t get the point of his whole existence. What the heck is he about?

The show is more about the impersonations that Charles or Bernie or whoever it is does. Not that many people really listen to the show for Imus himself.

Hmm. And libs call Rush and Hannity entertainers...
