Amazingly, Wolf Blitzer is parroting McCain's talking points

[Orrex]

I know, it's hard to believe. But he's doing it in the guise of playing devil's advocate for his guest: "Obama wants to raise corporate taxes at a time of recession; McCain wants to lower those taxes." Etc. :puke:

Blitzer just said: "These new proposals unveiled by Obama today, they're not going to be cheap."

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

1. He makes Katie Couric look like Edward R Murrow. nt

[Thrill]

2. Sounds like the same old Wolf. Thats all he does

[Orrex]

6. I had to change the channel when he actually had an orgasm on-air when at the market's closing bell

It was disturbing.

[BrklynLiberal]

3. Blitzer is now, and always has been, a repuke tool.

[Eric J in MN]

4. Bill Clinton raised taxes during a recession, and gave the US...

...great economic growth.

George W. Bush lowered taxes, and that didn't turn out so well.

[Orrex]

9. No! No! No! You don't understand at all!

The prosperity of the Clinton years was due entirely to the fruition of Reagan's policies.

The absolute economic collapse of the Bush years is due entirely to the fruition of Clinton's policies.


Likewise, any economic prosperity that occurs during President Obama's first or second term will be entirely the result of Bush's tax cuts for the super-wealthy.

5. You lost me at "Wolf."

:rofl:

[SeeHopeWin]

7. Hard to believe, but I think he is dumber than Gregory

[shredfest]

8. What if their stories were reversed?

Here is an interesting way to look at it which clearly shows the media's bias
against Obama.


What if the candidates lives were reversed?


What if John McCain were a former editor of the Harvard Law Review?
What if Barack Obama finished fifth from the bottom of his graduating class?

What if McCain were still married to the first woman he said "I do" to?
What if Obama were the candidate who left his crippled first wife after she no longer measured up to his standards?

What if Michelle Obama not only became addicted to pain killers, but acquired them illegally through her charitable organization?
What if Cindy McCain graduated from Harvard?


What if Obama were a member of the Keating-5?
What if McCain were a charismatic, calm, and eloquent speaker?


Educational Background:

Obama: Columbia University - B.A. Political Science with a Specialization in International Relations.
Harvard - Juris Doctor (J.D.) Magna Cum Laude



Biden: University of Delaware - B.A in History and B.A. in Political Science.
Syracuse University College of Law - Juris Doctor (J.D.)

Versus:


McCain: United States Naval Academy – Graduated number 894 out of 899



Palin: Hawaii Pacific University - 1 semester

North Idaho College - 2 semesters - general study
University of Idaho - 2 semesters - journalism
Matanuska-Susitna College - 1 semester

University of Idaho - 3 semesters - B.A. in Journalism



PS: What would Fox News say if Barack Obama had an unwed, pregnant teenage daughter (e.g. Palin’s daughter)?

Very good post.

[Virginia Dare]

24. Excellent point, I think we all know the answers to those questions...n/t

[Cosmocat]

10. I can't watch him ...

It is like he has a quota when he is on the air - the number of times he has to say "GOOD conservative" or put problem in the same sentence as democrat.

He is like the terminator, he NEVER stops. He is subtle with it, that if you are just a casual political viewer, you might not notice, but if you are any kind of an active D, the guy has to make you want to pull your hair out.

[Metta]

He makes the MSNBC Barbies look like Edward R. Murrow.

Although they're just as vapid and unquestioning as he is.

[JuniperLea]

11. Wolfie lives in a $250k+ world

And hees skurrrrrrred!

:rofl:

Pubbies are the "borrow and spend" party... they just don't get "fiscal responsibility" at all.

[Overseas]

12. Hard to believe? Not to me. Wolfie is too conservative for me. ///

[stopbush]

13. Well, it "wasn't cheap" to give the fat cats their $800bn+ bailout, was it?

Ergo, it's not going to "be cheap" to come up with the revenues to cover such expenditures.

[Median Democrat]

14. Where was he for the first seven years of Bush rule?

[shaniqua6392]

15. Leslie Blitzer is a tool.

A right wing tool. He should be on Faux News. He would fit in perfectly.

[Virginia Dare]

26. I gave up on CNN a while ago, they're not much better than FOX...n/t

[ORDagnabbit]

16. Blitzer was a paid propagandist for AIPAC still is... just listen to him. n/t

[PCIntern]

17. Welllll....uhhhhhhhhhhhhh, well, what..what DOYOUTHINK

he's uhhhhh, going to uhhhhhhhh, say?


He has the worst broadcast cadence I've ever heard...and I've been in some pretty crappy media markets.

[No Elephants]

19. Why is it hard to believe? Blitzer's no liberal as far as I can tell.

[Puzzler]

25. I suspect that there's sarcasm involved here.

.

[Occam Bandage]

20. It reminds me of '06, when he finished practically every lede with

"...and how might this help the Republicans in November?"

[dkofos]

21. Not so amazing at all.

[pansypoo53219]

22. poopy blitzer is an idiot.

john stewart blew his cover years ago.

[Orrex]

23. Just so everyone knows...

I know that Blitzer is a Conservative echo-parrot.
