[seriousstan]

Pelosi, Obama......I expect Hillary to announce she was once a nun.

1. Kinda hard for me to pray for them to win because I don't know what winning in Iraq means anymore

[Maccagirl]

2. And what was her response?

n/t

3. Sorry, I got interested in my gin and tonic....

6. No problem, thanks for the link

Pelosi handled it better than I would have. Sigh, just when I think Chris Wallace can't get any lower...
He needs a call from Dad on how be a journalist and not a propagandist.

I bet you can see a baby Jesus.

15. I ran out of lime last night. Sometimes Saturday night is hard on the limes.

Go figure.

4. Win what? The troops already won the thing that troops win. They

defeated an army. Now it's time to pray for their safe return home. Why am I guessing that's not how she answered?

[wtmusic]

5. It's two...two....two traps in one!

Oh that Chris, he's a conniver.

[daninthemoon]

8. He's a tricksy one alright. Pretty fart smeller.

:evilgrin:

7. I don't know why dems even agree to be interviewed by that smarmy creep.

I can't believe he's Mike Wallace's son. That apple fell miles from the tree.

[Skittles]

18. THANK YOU

Mr. Wallace is a repuke whore and they need to quit legitimizing him by agreeing to his interviews

[depakid]

9. I don't understand why any Dem would give that smarmy guy an interview

All it does is legitimize him as a "journalist," something which he's surely not- and it also dishonors Mike Wallace- who most certainly is.

When Dems do sort of thing, it just makes me shake my head... and lose respect for them.

and track record of slinging bile -- Mike's son is a GOP shill

10. jesus warned people to pray in dark closets(?)

and we are judged not by words but deeds...sometimes christians forget these two teachings of christ and it comes back to bite them in the ass

11. I wish I could vote for a candidate who, when asked nosy, usually

private, questions about faith or religion, would respond with the kind of no-nonsense, unequivocal answer such contemptible questions deserve, "NONE OF YOUR DAMNED BUSINESS!"

Most of us who have no interest in religious travails nor any such trappings need to have and deliver a much stronger voice to the information snobs and political hounds who populate the media.

I recognize a need in a hell of a lot of people for something resembling religion and I will try not to make light of a need that I don't understand nor want to, but there has to be a way to communicate to public figures that the purveyors of such gabble and crooked questions hate them!
They do not ask faith type questions to point out the answerer's proclivities or their strengths. They do it to try to destroy these people!
Their one goal is to show a bunch of passive thumb suckers that a thinking democrat with liberal tendencies and behavior far closer to that of Jesus the Christ than are they, themselves demonstrate, is unacceptable and should not be allowed to assume an office that must be fundamentally a republican prize.

The sooner democratic office seekers learn that nosy, ill informed talking heads are not friendly picture painters, but nasty, dangerous fifth column operatives, the better.

12. I agree 100% with you......makes me so angry when they dont...nt

[EV_Ares]

13. I have to say "who cares". Any dem that would still go on that show

deserves what they get and should expect something like that. Why did she even go on there in the first place and justify that place?

Is anyone really surprised about a question like that Fox is probably laughing their ass off that she was stupid enough to go on the show.

[Bitwit1234]

16. You can see by the post that Obama supporters are getting

more and more and more and more obsessed with Hillary since she is leaving Obama in the dust. They even have to bring her in to something like this, nothing what so ever to do with Hillary.

[seriousstan]

19. Oh right,I am a long time Hillary basher. I always appear in "those" posts.

Give it a rest and get a clue. If you count me as being a Hillary basher then you have lowered the bar into a ditch.

[regnaD kciN]

20. Hillary-haters, Hillary-neutral...

...it's all the same to Hill's Shills.

Let's see, who was the most recent politician to claim "you're either with us or against us?" Any guesses? :shrug:

[scarface2004]

17. i pray they get their asses kicked...

and we have to unconditionally surrender to al kyda in iraq...and become slaves to the taliban!!!

[xchrom]

21. i just wish folk would stop going on his show! that is all.

[EV_Ares]

24. It is totally stupid for them to go on their show. I have more respect for

Wallace than Pelosi. After all, he is doing what he does. Its just like the story about the lady who let the snake in who came to her door in the cold to be let in and when she did it bit her and she wondered why.

[JNelson6563]

22. Nearly as often as I pray you get a clue Mr. Wallace

woulda beena good answer. :toast:

23. Chris Wallace is an amoral propagandist. /eom

[CCfromNY]

25. It's amusing

to see how Foxnews, across the board, has simply given up on the hard work of pretending to be fair and balanced.

[EV_Ares]

26. Which is why it is hard to understand why those such as Pelosi would

go on the show. She got exactly what she should have known she was going to get, no more, no less. How many of Fox/'s viewers do you think she persuaded to agree with her on anything she said. I would guess "none".

I just have to laugh when anyone seems shocked by a question from Fox or what they do.

[CCfromNY]

27. As cable news channels go

Foxnews has a fairly large audience, not all of which are immovably entrenched on the right. Democrats should go on Foxnews as much as they can. The rightwing Hannity/Oreilly types there may think their biased hostile browbeating anti Dem anti lib interviewing style plays well to their fans, which of course it does, but it makes them look like jackasses to people with any iota of objectivity or independent thought, ie, for example, swing voters. The Republican party is in the toilet, and at this point the rightwing pundits/talk show guys with their schtick are accomplishing little more than to stir the contents; they're not on a rescue mission. After all the screwups the Republicans have made of late, the more defiant, obstinate, unconciliatory, and unapologetic the media representatives of the Repubs look, the better for Dems.

[EV_Ares]

29. You may be right but I honestly think most of the Fox news listeners are not persuable

and they are hearing exactly what they want to hear. If they do have objectivity, then they will get the real honest message from other sources. By going on Fox news shows, you are only giving them credibility like they are a real news station. They are nothg more than "State" TV and a message mover for the right wing.

28. Chris Wallace is a skunk & a skank but

I fault Pelosi. As a prominent & leading Democrat she should not be dignifying Fox, the semi-official propaganda arm of the Bush regime, by even appearing on that network. If she choses to do so she deserves whatever shit Fox/Wallace throws at her.
