In case you weren't sure about ABC bias Stephanopoulos will put Hillary town hall on "this week."

[mckeown1128]

Hillary Clinton will hold a live town hall meeting Sunday on ABC's "This Week with George Stephanopoulos," according to a source.

Just two days before the primaries, Clinton's town hall will be broadcast live from Indiana, and include viewer questions from North Carolina.

[Political Heretic]

1. lol jesus.

[swamppundit]

67. Democracy? Here are our future Presidents

H. Clinton 2009-16, J. Bush 2017-2024, C. Clinton 2025-2032. Then I die. This country is owned by 2 families who have used the office to pay off lobbyists in return for funding when their family members run for future office.

[DJ13]

2. She's broke, so ABC is donating her time

I wish this kind of thing was a violation of the campaign donations law.

Give her $2300 worth of free airtime, then cut her off after she had her 10 seconds of time.

[MADem]

3. And NBC will have Obama on MTP all alone, for the FULL HOUR.

We already KNOW about the NBC-CNBC-MSNBC bias, now, don't we?

[Kittycat]

5. It's not a townhall.

And we already know she has turned MSNBC down thus far.

[MADem]

6. Nope--it's better--more camera time one-on-one, IF you're good in an interview NT

[mckeown1128]

25. Being grilled about your patriotism and pastor for an hour...

is hardly on par with having network coverage of a controlled campaign event...


by the way I though I had you and your ridiculous shilling-ness on ignore....lol problem solved. ;)

[MADem]

39. He could have said NO. Why did he take the gig? Is he pathetic? Stupid? Weak?

Come off it. He thinks he can show himself to GOOD EFFECT, that's why he accepted the invitation.

Or are you going to infantilize him and victimize him over this appearance, as well?

Of course you have that "LALALALALA I can't HEEEAR you" Ignore feature "fired up and ready to go"--it's what your team does when they can't argue points on the merits. And it's why your candidate is so weak--because neither he, nor his supporters, can debate for shit.

[mattclearing]

43. Take a deep breath.

The difference is that Stephanopoulos is a friendly audience and Russert isn't.

He took the gig because he wanted a chance to talk directly to the American people on the eve of yet another important primary.

One would hope Russert won't beat him silly for the entire hour.

[MADem]

46. Well, why didn't he accept ABC's invitation, then? Is he stupid?

Clinton took the same deal that was offered to McCain AND Obama. Why didn't Obama take it? I'm not the one who needs to "take a deep breath" either--you're the one suggesting that poor victimized, weak, put upon and beaten Obama is being treated unfairly, when, gee--it turns out he got the same damned offer. Interesting, that.

http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/politics/clinton_on_this_week_for_town_hall_meeting_83848.asp#disqus_thread

And if you haven't seen the NBC bias towards Obama, even when he has fucked up royally, I can't help open your eyes. NBC wants Obama to get the nomination, you see--so they can tout McCain in the general and beat him like a rented mule. That's their plan, anyway. GE doesn't bring good wars to life just for fun, ya know.

[mattclearing]

47. Did you see that ABC debate?

Obama should take the positive coverage where he can get it. I don't see how that's evidence of stupidity.

I see your point about GE, but we know that no matter who the Dem is, the coverage from all angles is going to be abysmal going into November.

[MADem]

48. He was offered the same deal Clinton got. He could have had ABC do a "ride along"

to one of his little barn meetings. He chose the NBC gig instead.

[Beacool]

61. The questions asked by ABC were the same issues expressed by voters

in PA when we went canvassing. The only two differences were that no one mentioned Ayres, but plenty thought that Obama was a Muslim. The "bitter" comments, the flag pin flap, the not putting his hand to his heart during the National Anthem and the Rev. Wright controversy were all brought up by plenty of people. To pretend that these issues did not exist would have been disingenuous.

[mattclearing]

70. I like how you called those "issues." n/t

[RichGirl]

51. If Russert can beat him silly in just an hour...

then he isn't the man to go up against the likes of Amadeenajad. He better just go back to the senate to cast his gentle, non-confrontational "here" votes.

[mattclearing]

71. You mean Ahmadinejad?

Clearly you know what you're talking about.

[Beacool]

59. More camera time, but don't forget the stammering

and the hemming & hawing. That will waste value air time.

:D

[leftofcool]

12. I don't blame her for that

Tweety hates the Clintons

[Window]

20. hillary's already had her MTP time...when she was inevitable.

Hell, even I was going to vote for her back then.:rofl:

[jenmito]

7. Hillary refused to go on Hardball but she goes on Stephenopoulos's show, no questions

asked of her by anyone but adoring fans. How sweet of George and ABC.

[leftofcool]

11. There is a reason to not go on the Tweety show

He hates the Clintons. Bill wouldn't hire Tweety as a press secretary and Tweety has had a hard on about it ever since.

[jenmito]

18. So are you saying she'll only give friendly interviews? Like O'Reilly?

:eyes: And if you listened to Matthews lately, he's been all praise about her.

[Kittycat]

19. Then what do you say about O'Liely?

[Exilednight]

35. Won't go on Hardball but shows up on O'Rally's show. n/t

[MADem]

40. Why go where you're routinely insulted, or did you forget the

pimping out comments and the leg tingling bullshit?

And you apparently haven't read George's post-White House book if you think he's "adoring." He's only fair, not adoring at all.

:eyes:

[Beacool]

58. MSNBC might as well come out and officially endorse Obama,

they have already done so unofficially. I changed channels to KO's show 2 nights ago and couldn't stand to listen to the overbearing pompous ass for 5 minutes.

[MADem]

63. I agree--it's why they've lost so many viewers. nt

[Beacool]

65. Yep, I'm no fan of Fox but they sure are beating them in ratings!!!

Serves them right too, MSNBC lost all semblance of objectivity many months ago.

[leftofcool]

4. And Obama is going on the Tim-mi show for a full hour

[jenmito]

8. I'd rather have a townhall televised, with questions asked by adoring fans than an interview

by the tough Russert.

[Skwmom]

16. Big difference. Obama gets bulldog Tim and Clinton gets an infomercial.

[pdxmom]

9. So what we'll have is Obama facing Timmeh's "gotcha" questioning, while

Hillary will getting free campaign air time answering softball, pre-arranged questions as in her Hallmark debacle? How very nice of ABC to be so accommodating.

[Evergreen Emerald]

55. Timmy is smitten with Obama and hates Clinton. I can see his "gotcha questions:"

Timmy: "Did you refuse to debate because you would have to be in the same room with that Witch?"

[TeamJordan23]

10. I cannot wait to hear the "audience questions". nm

[burythehatchet]

17. tee hee...diamonds or pearls?...tee hee

[DangerousRhythm]

27. Exactly.

Anyone who doesn't believe Clinton's campaign has already prepared the questions AND answers must be very naïve. I'm disappointed in ABC but after that joke of a "debate", I'd expect nothing less.

[AnarchoFreeThinker]

13. Awesome. This could be the show when his voice finally changes!!!!!

[Skwmom]

14. An free infomerical that would have cost her millions.

[Tab]

15. Stephanopoulos is the worst kind of...

ah, forget it, I don't even want to finish the sentence. Let's just say he gives new meaning to the term "media whore".

[mckeown1128]

21. kick nt

[nonobadfish]

22. Complain to them about their bias at this link:

http://abcnews.go.com/Site/page?id=3428174

[ProudToBeLiberal]

23. You forgot the last paragraph

ABC News has also extended offers to both Sen. Barack Obama and John McCain, according to a network spokesperson.

[dogday]

24. So McCain and Obama were offered the same spot but declined?

That about says everything we need to know....

[nonobadfish]

26. I call bull. Why would anyone decline a free hour on network tv? We'll wait and see.

[dogday]

36. See post #23 eom

[MADem]

44. So you're saying that ABC is lying in that link provided, eh?

Yeah, because they always lie when it comes to your poor little victimized candidate...oh, and that MEAN OLD McCAIN, too!!!

:eyes:

[RichGirl]

52. Exactly...

BOTH Clinton and Obama are going on the programs that will work to their best advantage. Which is exactly what they should do.

[totodeinhere]

31. But that's not the point. The problem is that a former Clinton staffer will be...

running Clinton's town hall. It would be like if they had Obama on a town hall and had Teddy Kennedy moderating it. If ABC would change to a impartial moderator, then IMO no problem.

[MADem]

42. UH-OH...that makes the bias whiners look like, well, fucking JERKS!

:rofl:

[jasmine621]

28. ABC invited all three candidates to do a town hall meeting. Only Clinton agreed.

Stop spewing the half-truths and lies.

[totodeinhere]

32. Of course she agreed because her good buddy Stephanopoulos would be the moderator.

[MADem]

45. Yep, they did. But "Obama The Victim" is the theme, nowadays.

The link, because they will want it, and even then, they will not believe it: http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/politics/clinton_on_this_week_for_town_hall_meeting_83848.asp#disqus_thread

[Bensthename]

29. So no hard questions? Just pandering? Wow no bias at all right before Tuesday.

Why the fuck are the MSM so scared of Obama? Some one tell me please.

[EffieBlack]

34. Because he's not afraid of them? n/t

[Raine]

30. This promises to be a mutal kiss ass event.

x( :puke:

[jazzjunkysue]

33. Did anyone notice that Donna Brazile's camera shakes on that show?

On sunday, every time she was on, her camera woudln't stop shaking. I swear, only hers did that.

I know could hold it still on my shoulder, if that is what the problem was. I literally never stopped shaking. She was wiggling all over the screen.

I just don't believe that it was necessary on that high-end show. They couldn't replace the camera inbetween shots or during commercials? I don't buy it.

[ruby slippers]

37. I don't trust a thing ABC does. Maybe it is....

A B Clinton news after all....

[BigBearJohn]

38. What difference does it make? You all say Obama has won the nomination anyway.

[high density]

60. Good observation.

This is just Hillary stroking her own ego at this point in the game.

[mattclearing]

41. I'd say it's equal time with Obama on MTP, except that Russert is hostile and Steph isn't. n/t

[1776Forever]

49. Take a look at this - Bilderberg Elitist Group - Members Bill & HRC & Stephanopoulos

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x5576448

They do "stick" together don't they?

Oh by the way Bayh was there in 1999:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=5775805&mesg_id=5776007

One wonders though why John Edwards went in 2004 - but never went back since.

Who are the elitist? Wish someone would ask HRC. She says she didn't go in 2006 but other said she did.

http://209.85.207.104/search?q=cache:tor7ZnSEImkJ:www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread315065/pg1+bilderberg+Hillary+Clinton+2006&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=8&gl=us

......

What Logan Act? Means nothing to the elite!

:hide:

[RichGirl]

53. If you believe in the..

Bilderberg, Illuminati stuff then you would also know that the anti-christ is coming in the form of a gentle, kind, jesus like person who we all love. That's not Hillary. If these groups have the power they claim, then the primary was determined, the outcome of it and the general already a done deal. They would own both parties and pit them against each other. The secret government stuff names Richardson as well. How clever of him to appear to go to the other side.

The point is, if that stuff is true, then the election is just rearranging the deck chairs of the titanic.

[1776Forever]

64. Why do they even meet in secret then? Do you deny they are elitist who meet to influence policy?

http://www.crystalinks.com/bilderberg.html

Who is the naive one here?

[madrchsod]

50. if i wanted to watch pornography i`d just click on youporn

.....it`s getting more difficult to distinguish between the two....

[rodeodance]

69. you have one sick pathetic post.

[NJmaverick]

54. The Absolutely Behind Clinton network?

[Evergreen Emerald]

56. Wow. You Obama supporters have a short memory.

ABC is a neo-con organization that aired that Clinton attack movie that had little resemblance to reality. Remember?

Good god. You have all simply lost it!

[NJmaverick]

62. Nope, they are still doing the Neo Cons bidding. Now they want Hillary to stay in the race

so she can destroy the Democratic party. Sadly it's you that lost it. You refuse to see the reality of the situation.

[Beacool]

57. Thanks for the heads-up!!!!

I'll make sure to watch it.

:D

[HereSince1628]

66. How about that, the guy smiling about Indianans being called shit...

is giving Hillary air time she can't afford to buy.

[mckeown1128]
