Amanpour Offers Bitter-Clinger Variation To Explain Beck Rally Success
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 08/29/2010 6:22:36 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Christiane Amanpour just sealed her victory as recipient of my Obama Parrot of the Week Award . .

That's the dubious prize I give out to on my local TV show to the media member most ardently echoing the Obama party line. The moderator of This Week sewed up the win with her remarks on GMA this morning, as she sought to explain the big turnout at Glenn Beck's rally yesterday.

Readers will recall that at that ritzy fund-raiser in San Francisco, candidate Obama explained the attitudes of poor rural Pennsylvanians in terms of "bitter" people who "cling" to their religion and values. Check out Amanpour's analysis of those attending the Beck rally and other similar events, and see if it doesn't sound eerily similar.

ms amanpour is certifiably warped. The part of her brain that control logic must have coagulated some time ago. What a loon! I’d give her the prize for “Person Who Lives Despite Being Brain Dead”.

Amanpour: “angry” Americans came to Beck rally to hear “feel-good” message of religion and patriotism. Bitter-clinger ping to Today show list.

Liberalism is a mental disorder.

This woman needs her meds.

A large portion of the media elite is terrified of Christianity, for some reason. I think they are Christophobes.

Why doesn’t Amanpour talk about Muslims clinging to their religion? They’re easily the most ‘bitter’ group anyone has ever seen... Oh I know why.... CNN’s got an agenda ...

You would think she would be happy now that Imam Obama let Iran go nuclear.

Glenn Beck’s rally was neither racist or partisan.

Beck;s rally celebrated the following:

1. The legacy of our founding fathers and the legacy of Martin Luther King.

2. The celebration of America as a country and the true beacon of hope and liberty throughout the world and what our country means to that world.

3. A celebration of life and liberty and freedom and justice and the belief in God and our great country.

Only small minds or bigoted people would see otherwise.

I just love it when people like her don’t even try to hide their bias! I really don’t care what she thinks!

Hi! I'm not your average-ordinary-liberal-elitist snob. I just play one on TV (with perfect diction).
