re: Gibson Excerpts
Corner National Review ^ | 9/11/08 | Kathryn Jean Lopez

Posted on 09/11/2008 4:42:56 PM PDT by mathprof

I'm getting a lot of e-mails like these:

Mr. Gibson left out a couple of words when he quoted Mrs. Palin. She was admonishing the congregation and said, "Pray that our national leaders are sending our troops on a task that is from God." When he quoted her, he left out the admonishment to pray and said her quote began with “ Our leaders are sending. . . That totally changes the meaning, thus, he can construe her ‘real’ meaning and take the interview in the direction of ‘mission from God’, aka holy war.

She was not saying that we were fighting a holy war. But, praying for the leaders, that they would send our troops to fight for righteous and noble causes that align with our values. Isn't that what Americans have always done? This infuriates me. If they cannot make their points by using our words, they attempt to create false impressions by omitting words and distorting their true meaning. I had hoped Mr. Gibson would be more honest. Disappointed again by the MSM

That was shocking.
lol

Look, here is the thing, apparently there was no “gotcha” moment in this interview. Period.
She remained level headed and cool....didn’t get sarcastic or testy. SHE WINS!
They wanted her to mess up badly on an answer, or come across as an insane religious kook, or get testy and “bitchy.” She didn’t do any of that, so it’s fine.

It’s called “Brain Tag.” My husband does it to me each morning...he sings a goofy song and it’s in my head all day long.

But, that is such a happy, upbeat song! I’ve been singing it out loud all day and now I’ve finally driven HIM ‘round the bend, LOL!

Wow! I would not be surprised if team Hussein is a no show for the VP debate. She is running circles around Charlie.

More:

At 2:19, she calls him Charlie for the first time, and he raised his head, and looked down his nose at her, while she finished her answer.

At 2:46, she is talking about being proud of Track, when she said “Serving something greater than self...”, his hands drop, he got a sour look on his face, looked down, as if to dismiss what she was saying.

Did I mention that Chuckie Gibson is a Disgusting Slime Bucket?

She will slice and dice Biden. He’s going to blow a gasket, or be his usual insulting, condescending self.

If they were smart, the McCain/Palin team should make it a ‘Pay Per View’ event. They’d raise millions in minutes! :)

Couldn't say that today.

Imagine the reaction to Ike's Great Crusade message to the troops.

And yet she was unflappable and he was, at times, caught off guard by her frankness and clarity. He seemed to be unnerved by his inability to unnerve her.

My observation precisely - he was uncomfortable - she was focused.

From the clip that has been released so far I would have to say that Sarah is no disappointment. In fact, she is right in line with what I expected her to be. The libs are going to be rushing around trying to chop this up just like the weasle Gibson just did with her “quote”.

Go Sarah!!!!

The Bush Doctrine has several component parts:

1. US has the right to treat countries that harbor or give aid to terrorist groups as terrorists themselves (basis we went into Afghanistan on)

2. US should depose foreign regimes that represent a threat to the security of the United States, even if that threat is not immediate (basis we went into Iraq on)

3. US suppors democracy around the world, especially in the Middle East, as a strategy for combating the spread of terrorism and to pursue U.S. military interests

That’s why she asked him “in what way?” To find out which part of the Doctrine he was asking her about.

She did a good job!

I thought she handled him well, but it was also obvious to me that he thought he was ‘handling’ her.

Gibson really got my back up.

Gibson is a putz. He can think that all he wants, but people like you and me know better...and there are a lot of people like you and me.

Dick Morris said the other night that it was good they were going with Gibson because “...he isn’t a gotcha sort of journalist.”

Maybe Dick got him confused with Hoot Gibson or Mel Gibson.

In the excerpts Gibson played on the “news” tonight, I heard at least 4 gotcha attempts.

That whole gaggle of Fun City talking heads are worthless slimeballs.
