GOD DAMNIT, CNN DOES IT AGAIN: Tim Walberg Labeled with a (D) this morning
When they discussed him comparing Iraq's conditions with those of Detroit.

He said: "80 to 85 percent of the country is reasonabley under control, at least as well as Detroit or Chicago or any of our other big cities."

I couldn't believe a Democratic Rep would be saying this so I looked him up. Sure thing, He's a Republic.

1. Wonder if they'll put a (D) next to DeLay (he once said Baghdad was no worse than Houston)

2. Email them,

Why shouldn't they do what they want, no one is complaining to them about it.

4. I wonder what CNN's excuse would be
(if anyone would be able to get a response from them about this..)

Incompetence? "we didn't know"?

Everyone here should.

Here's what I posted there:

Please stop labelling Republic Politicians who do or say terrible things as Democratic.
This morning on American Morning, you labelled Tim Walberg with a (D). HE'S A REPUBLIC REPRESENTATIVE.

9. Way to go, Bernie! I'm tired of these dickheads doing this.

Incompetence or on purpose? I think on purpose. It happens too much.

11. What a bloody nut he sounds!
Edited on Thu Mar-22-07 01:46 PM by LeftishBrit
'Iraq no worse than Detroit' - why doesn't he try both for himself and compare them!

At least this probably means he'll never get elected to a state-wide office; as presumably he wouldn't get any votes from Detroit after this. What an idiot.

As far as party affiliation is concerned, didn't he actually defeat another Republican from the right - which is about as far off being a Dem as one could get.

14. require all news shows to say whether they're using D for Democrat or D for Disgraced
Edited on Thu Mar-22-07 02:07 PM by 0rganism
because, strangely enough, they are NOT the same

Maybe it's time for Howard Dean to start looking at the lawsuit angle. They're basically defaming an organization by association with idiots and crooks when they do this. It's like if they were doing a story on the grand wizard of the KKK and misidentified his organization as the ADL.
