“Campbell’s Father, Jim, was a former DEM State Senator from LA, that did a couple years in Federal Prison for Fraud.”

So Campbell is the progeny of a disgraced felon? She comes from a family of criminals? Did she learn from her father how to commit fraud, or just how to lie in general? What did she know about her father’s crime and when did she know it? Was she part of a conspiracy?

And what about her mother? Was her mother ever pregnant? (wink wink)

These are questions that CNN should answer before entrusting their network anchor duties to someone with such a shady past.

Applying the same standards to her as they have to Palin she should be banished to housework until after the election. After all, how can she be expected to properly perform her household duties AND anchor a news (sorry, propaganda) program.

I just wrote CNN and told them that rather than treating Palin like a “delicate flower”, McCain is trying to keep a jeweled sword out of the mud that Brown and CNN wallow in.

I can't understand why the media isn't questioning Obama's absense from New York this week? I mean, shouldn't he be meeting with world leaders since he's got the White House in the bag? Instead, they fault Gov. Palin for booting them out of her private meetings with our allies.

Pretty light Schedule don't ya think?

Big Journalism is treating Palin like a Republican.

I don’t know... I think it’s more than coincidence that the ticket has gone down in the polls and the media keeps pointing out that she is not taking questions.

Right or wrong, I believe the general public is starting to agree that the campaign is shielding her... that she is unprepared and doesn’t know the issues.

I believe she would do fine in the debates or interviews.

I can honestly say who in hell is “Campbell Brown”?

In the spring of 2000, when our Dish Satellite tv system was installed I had the installer block all CNN stations with our system.

If more conservatives did this with their satellite and cable control boxes, the owners of the these systems would pass that message on to CNN.

It's one more reason why the McCain camp needs to split up Sen. McCain and Gov. Palin for touring the battleground states.

No, it is a Blue Star pin that is worn by mothers who have a son/daughter serving in the Armed Forces during war time.

I went to the site to read the article and went further to read the comments. Almost half-way down, there is a comment from a poster calling himself “Barack Obama.” For a real laugh, read his comment!

The world’s smartest man has to take off three days from his campaign to bone up for the debate with the old Maverick.

That should tell us how confident they are in Mr. Uh-uh-uh’s debating ability.

Meanwhile, Gov. Palin has matched and exceeded Barry’s foreign policy experience in just two days of meetings in NY.

Worse than that was the story on the road to nowhere that a reporter did for Campbell last night. I don’t recall her name but she was breathless with excitement flying over this empty road and then interviewing the local Dem in office who agreed it was all Palin’s fault! She ended it by telling Brown that she would work to uncover all of the horrible things Palin did!
I tried to email CB last night but couldn’t find anything on the CNN website. Why are they NOT looking into BO’s evil history?

Not surprised that Campbell Brown can’t even get her METAPHORS correct. It should be that they’re treating Sarah like a “Hothouse Flower” (something that is delicate and needs protection and special care...hardly Sarah, LOL!) not a “wilted flower.”

If you’re going to smear someone, at least get your smears correct, Bimbo.
