2. Sorry, CW, This Is One Time I Can't Do Your Bidding
Perspective: In the SIX years I have been monitoring Tweety CLOSELY, this is the STRONGEST he has been for us, great------but the FEW other times in ALL THOSE SIX years have been tiny CRUMBS, months/years apart. And he doesn't take congrats in perspective, takes it as ENCOURAGEMENT to do the REST of his crap.

5. I agree
it was real hard for me to relent and give him praise.

Maybe the encouragement will lift him complete from the dark side.

One can only hope.

:D

26. This It? "Best Bar in Coronado Beach"?
Edited on Thu Aug-12-04 07:31 PM by UTUSN


My first stint at San Diego was for that wonderful experience called boot camp, which didn't allow for much quality in terms of Liberty. The next time was a few days of passing through, which, in our then salty judgment, led to choosing the scuzziness of Tijuana.

Sounds like you were able to familiarize with the local area a lot more. All I remember is (a very small bit of) the zoo.

12. This is what I wrote him this a.m.
Deja Vu, all over again. Election 2000.

Matthews, you should go back to Walter Reed Army Hospital and take another look. YOU, Sir contributed to this mess. YOU are incapable of unbias reporting. Shame on you and God save your soul.

Chris Matthews's Nazi analogy: "Who made that ad -- Leni Riefenstahl?"

http://mediamatters.org/items/200408120004

On the August 10 edition of MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews, after airing a Democratic National Committee (DNC) ad depicting Senator John Kerry (D-MA) speaking about national security and defense at the Democratic National Convention, host Chris Matthews asked, "Who made that ad -- Leni Riefenstahl? You know what I'm talking about, a lot of flags." Leni Riefenstahl was a Nazi-propaganda filmmaker.

9. Hi Cat
It's going to take more than one orgasm for me to give it up to Tweety. I'll send him a thank you after the election.

It's been 4 years since Election 2000 when I watched him almost every night. I can still see his face, his guests, and hear the things he said about Gore. I was a political newbie then, I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

I'm going to need a lot more foreplay from Tweety before he gets into my pants. :hi:

13. if the only people who write him are freepers
it will be more difficult for him to leave the dark side.

19. I wrote him numerous emails over the past few years.
I don't sign his paychecks. I'm sure he couldn't care less about what I think.

22. Tell Him What You Think
I did. First I thanked him for tonight but then I told him (them) how I had been very disapointed in him in the past, and that I had pretty much quit watching. Make your phrase conditional ....

24. Tweety needs some positive reinforcement from
the likes of us. It may remind him that we do exist. He'll be getting plenty of freeper hate mail on that interview. It would be nice if we outnumbered them for once.

I sent him my approval on his thought provoking in-depth interview of O'Neil. I never said thanks. I still don't like the guy.

I suspect, as Kerry's numbers rise, Tweety will get on the bandwagon.

27. Fine
But we can't rely on someone like Tweety to call the right-wing on their lies and distortions. He has given them a pass too many times in the past. We need more hard-hitting and effective spokespeople and we need to boycott the shows if they continue to insist on booking the milquetoasts (and disavow the milquetoasts as well).

34. Last night...
he came down on Laura Bush, Stepford wife, regarding the Neo Fascist trotting her out to disperage and lie about Stem Cell Research and asked his guests if they thought Mrs. Bush was a stepford wife. He was also opposed to the illegal Iraq invasion. Mathews is not a kee jerk right wingnut.

30.  I'm Ambivalent
about Mathews . I used to be ready to toss a drink at my tv when he and Fineman displayed junior high school level maturity as they trashed Gore and giggled about it . However , Mathews is the only major talking head that was skeptical about the Iraq adventure . So I don't think we should completely write him off and tonight supports that .

39. I found another thread with an explanation.
I can hardly wait to watch the repeat!

But it's hard when I'm at work to monitor threads constantly. I can't always get in on the beginning. :hi:

Tweety just ain't my favorite person but today he did a splendid job of debunking that lying a**hole, O'Neil.
