17. whoa! did he report the results?

I didn't hear him, of course I'm not paying much attention. Did he report or did he hope we'd forget?

[flpoljunkie]

19. The "bitter and angry" Dobbs hedged results--52% bitter and angry to 45% independent and proud

Surely, he had the accurate up-to-the-second total--yet chose to ignore it!

Shame on you, Lou Dobbs!

[JBoy]

[featherman]

21. Beyond hysterical - bitter and angry clobbering at 66%!!!

[mythyc]

22. the power of the Democratic Underground in action

great work red state Herring in bringing this to our attention. As of my vote bitter and angry is up to 66% ... and rising. tomorrow somebody here should call in to that one man circle jerk he calls a talk show and ask him about his little survey.

FUCK Dobbs that shill piece of right wing talking point shit. I tuned in to his show yesterday for a minute and every word out of his mouth was inflammatory and incendiary, with none other than Mike Allen of Politico egging him on. the talking heads so want this to blow up, and are so flushed that it's not.

just don't forget that three weeks ago Doobsie said cotton-picker on live t.v. a-s-s

35. A good analysis of this poll, over at U.Mich College Dems blog

http://umichdems.com/blog/?p=559



(snip)
To start with, this isn’t really a poll. The point of this is not to gain some sort of useful feedback from his audience, but rather is an underhanded way of trying to deliver a message to his viewers. This is a classic push-poll of the worst kind, and the fact that it was on CNN’s website is disturbing.

Another problem I have with this “poll” is the message he is trying to convey. A respondent is given three choices: “Partisan and Pitiful,” “Bitter and Angry,” or “Independent and Proud.” By grouping the answers in sets of two, Dobbs is implying that they naturally go together, which is just not true. I am partisan, and I assume that most readers of this blog are also partisan. Are we, by necessity, pitiful as well? If one were to be independent, must he or she be proud?

Furthermore, these options are in no way mutually exclusive. Any one of the dispositions listed could potentially be paired with any of the others. For an example, let’s examine the case of Lou Dobbs: Dobbs expends a lot of energy telling people how he is “independent.” He also spends a lot of time whining, griping, moaning, and generally complaining about the state of our nation and government. It would seem to me that he is pretty bitter, and sometimes angry. Also - and this is just my personal opinion here - I would call him pitiful as well. So Lou Dobbs, the very creator of this “poll,” is independent, bitter, angry, and possibly pitiful. That’s at least one option from every possible response.
