Looks like the MSM is again dealing the race card from the bottom of the deck.

[Carolinamom]

Good morning, Everyone...and thanks once again, AB, for the thread.

Nothing but HAS-BEENS on Fox. Click.

Gov. Christie on ABC looks imo to be the only worthwhile guest today...reminds me a bit of "Give-Em-Hell" Harry Truman.

[Miss Didi]

Gringrich is/was a paid FoxNews consultant. Couldn’t they find someone more independent from network influence to interview?

But Chris Wallace promised fireworks, Tom...and then race relations with Jessie--wow, what a show! Happy Sunday, FRiends!

[rodguy911]

Thanks for the thread AB as usual.

Newt and Christie not bad! Sorry I will miss all the action today guys and gals but I'm on the road in five.

[TomGuy]

And the driveby’s would LOVE for Gingrich to be the Republican nominee in 2012

With his trainload of baggage!

You bet they would.

He would be the best gift nominee since 1996, since 2008. What could be better? Another OLD white-haired guy from the Grand OLD Party.

Of course, it would be a toss-up between him and Jeb Bush. The driveby's would love another Bush to bash, and GW and GHW left a permanent bitter taste in many people's mouths.

I would go Gingrich before I would Bush.

I would go Romney before I would Gingrich.

I would go Huckabee before I would Romney.

I would go Popeye before I would Huckabee.

I Popeye doesn't announce, I think I just go fishing, again.

Race is the entire game for the left it’s how they got elected. They beat hillary down so hard and so fast about even questioning a black man that she folded and lost. It’s up to us to see through all the DBM BS and move on anyway. We will always be called racists simply because we have opinions counter to the regime.

[rodguy911]

Fishing is great! (but Sarah is better)

[From The Deer Stand]

Jesse Jackson on FSN? Yech! Jesse has made a living out of perpetuating racism.

[From The Deer Stand]

Whoa! Howard Dean is on a roll accusing FOX News of being racist with the “Black Panther crap.” This guy is still proving he’s a lunatic.

[animal172]

For once, Chris had the guest stammering. He will not answer the question about Fox not running the story until after the White House fired the racist.

[Girlene]

Thanks for the thread, AB.

Newt on FOX The Shirley Sherrod firing - another case of incompetence from the obama administration.

Dean says FOX news is racist. Wallace points out the facts (even though they are inconvenient things), that the firing occurred before they ever played any clips. Dean even brings up fear of her appearing on Glenn Beck as the reason they fired her???!!!! What a loony tune.

[TomGuy]

Race is the entire game for the left it’s how they got elected.

Exactly!

About the time they were firing racism allegations at Clinton, they also shot a few over at the McCain camp -- to to make sure McCaniacs proceeded with caution. McCain cowered in fear of Team Obama using the race card against him the remainder of the campaign, even after he got the nomination.

Team Obama used the race card throughout the campaign -- and they used it very effectively. That is why Obama checked the "I am Black" box on his census form -- he intends to continue using the race card, and it would be impossible to do had he checked the "I am White" box.

[screaminsunshine]

You got it. They need the race card for November. Obamas teleprompter is going to have to give a speech his media arm can run with for the election.

[TomGuy]

FNS

Dean: “...the democratic wing of the Democratic Party...”

Huh? What is that gobbledygook?

[estrogen]

Boy they really hate Glenn Beck....somewhat afraid ,maybe, that he is getting too close to the truth..??

I also think Newt would make the right decisions for his country as pres, even though he has too much baggage.

[W-Girl]

Racist & Bush’s Fault ....that’s the game plan for the Demos in November !!

[ROCKLOBSTER]

I can’t stand it, Newt sort of correct yet calm and castrated.

Dean referring to the racist right wing fringe and not going to let the “right wing media” off the hook...

Wallace going to talk later about “Bush’s tax cuts for the rich”

Just said it again, Dean blaming Bush...

Just shoot me!

>>The birds are chirping, the sun is shining, overnite rain is dripping off the trees...gonna be a beautiful day.<<

[TomGuy]

If the economy/jobs market continues to be as bad as it is, the mid-terms will be disasterous for Dems.

If the Dems lose either/both chambers of Congress, that would be disasterous for the Pubbies in 2012, as it could force Obama more toward the middle — a repeat of Clinton after 1994 mid-terms.

[Girlene]

Newt points out that businesses are forecasting no new jobs with the uncertainty of the obama economy and upcoming tax increases.

Dean says the deficit is the big problem....everyone will have to pay something. If you are making $250,000 a year and getting tax cuts - that makes no sense to him at all. I guess Dean thinks the $250K and over crowd should just hand over all their money to Big Bro.

Morning AB, All...

thank you AB for doing this thread. Got lots and lots of news but for the hell of it, let’s start out with a comment about Fox News Sunday and the very, very honest and fine fellow, Howard Dean.

So they’re talking about Shirley Sherrod and Dean, first thing, jumps on Fox News and says “I think it was very bad for Fox News to have played that tape of Sherrod until they got the facts.”

The host, to his credit, points out loudly that Fox news did NOT play the clip until AFTER the administration fired the woman. Dean mumbles something about that not being right either.

Then Gingrich jumps in and says that the NAACP ALSO came out with a condemnation of the woman BEFORE Fox news ever played the clip and again, Dean mumble, mumbles.

So the host and Newt did okay but, as expected, The Wise I will finish the conversation as at the least NEWT should have done.

“You agree that the administration should not have fired the woman so quickly. You also agree that the NAACP should not have condemned her so quickly. And yet the very first words out of your mouth are to condemn Fox news for...after all, reporting the news which is what they do. Fox News does NOT fire people. Fox news does NOT condemn people publicly. Yet you first go after Fox News, Howard. One might think you’re working more on a talking point or political agenda than any sort of seeking of the truth.”

I got more in a bit. Lots of local Delaware news that will affect the nation.

I am, as expected, right in the middle of it all.

Heh.
