NBC is leading off with threat of Nuclear Option.

1. Won't hear about Galloway until they have formulated a airtight

smear campaign a-la swiftboats. My bet is that it will be related to his comments about Israel.

2. CBS

UTTERLY PREPOSTERIOUS as he calls it

[Roland99]

3. Dang...missed it.

[starmaker]

4. Good video of subcommittee

'accused senators of slander
nbc now

12. I can't understand what you said.

Did CBS say that Galloway was utterly preposterous? Did they show Galloway saying something or someone was utterly preposterous? Which "he" was referring to which "it"? (Sorry, I'm in an ornery mood and wish people would use sentences to communicate.)

13. Galloway called charges

against him utterly preposterious

sorry for vagueness just now back on line

[hvn_nbr_2]

15. Thanks.

I gathered the gist of it from other threads.

5. NBC played this bit of the video

Senator, in everything I said about Iraq, I turned out to be right and you turned out to be wrong and 100,000 people paid with their lives; 1600 of them American soldiers sent to their deaths on a pack of lies; 15,000 of them wounded, many of them disabled forever on a pack of lies.

6. CBS showed video of him meeting with Saddam

8. Did they also show the photo of Rumsfeld shaking hands with Saddam?

that would be fair.

Otherwise it's more propaganda.

[dweller]

10. but of course

NOT.

killing the messenger, it's what they (MSMCON) do best.

7. It was on CNN International several times...

... since this afternoon. They even interviewed Galloway and "Insight" had his whole statement. But they also had Senator Levin accusing Galloway. I thought we was a Democrat? How can he side with Coleman? Strange.

9. i thought we was a democrat? how can he side with coleman? strange.

he sided with Coleman because he is a Democrat, and there seems to be only a few of them around these days that are worth two shits.

14. Unfortunately, they all water at the same trough!

[Jacobin]

11. Its the Israel thingy

Galloway commited the unpardonable sin of suggesting that Israel and the neo-cons and the fundies are off on a crusade.

That of course cannot be allowed to be discussed.

16. ABC Did Nothing
