Novak: Dems are "nasty," inauguration protesters are "punks"
Edited on Wed Jan-26-05 04:34 AM by JohnnyRingo
I don't know who else saw this ugly display of douchebagism on Capital Gang last weekend, thanx to MediaMatters here is the transcript and clip:

NOVAK: But I just have to say that this partisanship by the Democrats is just -- and people like you, Mark , can't appreciate just how nasty they are that they were all over the television, all over the town in the last week saying it's terrible to have this inauguration. Let it alone.

And what I'm really sick of are the protesters. They just are a lot of punks and it's none of their business and it isn't free speech. It's just nastiness, and I'm sick of it.

ALBERT R. HUNT (panelist): Can I ask you a question about-- is there such a thing as a partisan Republican in this town?

NOVAK: They're nothing like these Democrats. They're so nasty. I can tell you that. Nothing like that.

<snip>
HUNT: So, the partisanship is -- the partisanship is one-sided.

NOVAK: Pretty much so.

HUNT: Is it really? That's interesting. That's interesting, OK.

SHIELDS: It's a different Washington that you live in.

<transcript and clip here>

On edit...I don't recommend the clip for those with high blood pressure. The man is truly vile.

1. Novak holds a mirror up to himself
Classic projection. None are nastier or more punklike than the Douchebag for Freedom.

2. Do they ever listen to themselves...
Edited on Wed Jan-26-05 04:39 AM by itzamirakul
do they actually HEAR what they are saying? "Oh, our side is good...we are not nasty." (like Whitewater and the impeachment didn't happen). Like they haven't blames Clinton for everything including the Tsunami.

On edit: I absolutely DETEST Novakula...Whenever his column is in the paper, I deliberately turn that page out so that I can pick up my dog's poop with his face.

believes he's entitled to anything that he can get his hands on, so his whining is just so weak.

4. Nastiness is outing a CIA operative and their network in a time of war.
Nastiness is in outing a CIA operative and their network causing the lives of soldiers in the field.

Nastiness is touting the lies of the Gravy Boaters to benefit your family's already bulging purse.

Oh, I'm sorry, that is not nastiness, that is traitorous.

7. i did hear the beginning of that exchange on capital gang last saturday,
and i quickly continued to move on to another channel.i have previously written so many e-mails to bob novak on his novakandevans@aol.com e-mail address, that his e-mail is programmed to reject the e-mails i send his way. the man can dish it out but he can't take it... i also think that he has completely sold his soul to the devil ... lying (now called spinning) any time he wants to, about anything he wants to, and about whomever he wants to, and, like condoleezzaa right, i mean rice, demanding to not have his integrity impugned any time that he opens his mouth or jots down anything with his pen to impugne the honor and integrity of others. the bushies must be making him feel very powerful and he seems not to be able to handle power too well. the sad thing is that there are those who still believe man...as for me, i see him as a peddler of lies, just like his owner george w. bush is, another peddler of lies.

9. Novak is the centerfold for ugly repukes
he is a cheap carny act in a sea of media sludge and the id of the pretty hair sprayed Fox robots.The only people that want to be close to him are his body guards in case he drops a crumb.
The only reason all these assholes are working is because spin shows are cheap to produce.

12. The world according to Novak:
Protesting in the streets: Not free speech

Leaking the name of a covert CIA agent: Free Speech

Guess I missed that part in graduate school.

13. Am I partisan?
You damn well bet I am.

Being partisan means I stand for something, and I stand in 100% opposition to everything--and I do mean everything--this Administration represents.

Being called a partisan by Novak, or any other journalist for that matter, is an accurate description of who I am. I wear that description with pride.

perhaps fortune will be more kind, and he'll break more than his hip.

32. Common sense and laws of probability would have Novak falling and
breaking his hip the night before while drunk. (convention)
Then he probably got up in the morning and fabricated the bathtub story.

20. Capital Gang and Crossfire are Cancelled now
Capital Gang is a Novak creation, and Crossfire is one of his main soapboxes, but they are both cancelled now. Relics, just like Novak the neandrethal.

as it comes, whether you agree with it, or not.

26. I was there and
did Novak just call me a punk?

Did you know that demonstrators dominated the crowds over most of the Inaugural Parade Route between the Capitol Building and the White House on January 20, 2005? Probably not, because the mainstream media never reported it that way.

I know this is true because I was there.

I don't know how they count large crowds, but the estimate on the number in attendance along Pennsylvania Avenue was 1 million. From my perspective of walking up and down the route, it is my best guess that fully between 1/3 and 1/2 were not there to celebrate Bush taking office. There were huge numbers of people with anti Bush signs or wearing orange.

On January 20th, there were just as many or more who carried no signs. They wore no colors indicating anything about themselves until the Bush limo passed when they turned their backs on the man who would be president. I traveled nearly 2500 miles from the Pacific Northwest to Washington DC to do just that.

Witness,
BB

28. I think it was reported that 100,000 were at his inauguration, but I
don't think they stated how many were along the parade route. There are pictures circulating showing empty parade bleachers. So much so that you wonder if Bush's base really exists.

35. I was there, and at least in my section
there were 20-25 protestors for every three * supporters. I don't know where these pundits/RWMSM are getting that our numbers were few. I guess all of the trains overcrowded with protestors every time I got on were just in my head. That's it.

25. Why is his opinion so much more important
then anyone else's? What a gas bag. He can go shove his self-righteous bullshit where the sun don't shine, if he can still reach it. I bet he stinks like shit because he can't reach his own ass any more.

27. Pot...meet Kettle
Well, personally, I don't see the Dems being 'nasty' enough. And further, what I do see is usually in response to extreme nastiness of RepliCONS.

But then, I'm just a nasty partisan Democrat.
