Clinton: Return to Cold War Policies, ‘Massive Retaliation’ Against Iran
Apr 21, 2008 at 10:21 PM by David Pleasant
Hillary Clinton’s response in ABC’s Democratic debate last week on what she would do if Iran attacked Israel was anything but a knee-jerk reaction. She confirmed her "massive retaliation" answer tonight to Keith Olbermann on Countdown and added the U.S. should return to "Cold War" foreign policies.
OLBERMANN: Can you clarify…which hypothetical Middle East conflicts would [...]
Jake Tapper’s role in Obama-Ayers dust-up
Apr 18, 2008 at 3:09 PM by David Pleasant
The Boston Globe has a piece today that suggests there was more to ABC’s drilling of Obama on William Ayers than just a conversation between George Stephanopoulos and Sean Hannity. Based on ABC spokesperson Jeffrey Schneider’s statements in the piece, several motives can be spun multiple ways, but regardless of the spin. Jake Tapper is [...]
Stephanopoulos lame response
Apr 18, 2008 at 1:21 AM by David Pleasant
I want to do one update before calling it quits for the night.
George Stephanopoulos gave Greg Sargent several lame excuses for his pathetic performance in the Democratic debate last night, however, I want to focus on one for now.
When I asked him whether asking about Obama’s derelict approach to his flag lapel pin risked [...]
The GOP’s control of the Democratic debate
Apr 17, 2008 at 3:44 PM by David Pleasant
It is a well established fact by now that the Democratic debate on ABC last night was one of the worst ever — not just this election cycle. It wasn’t a debate, it was a Right-Wing smear strategy fully engaged in assassinating Barack Obama’s character. How successful they may have been in damaging Obama [...]
Where was ABC on Clinton’s "Screw ‘Em" Remark?
Apr 17, 2008 at 11:09 AM by David Pleasant
The Huffington Post broke this little gem yesterday afternoon at 2:21 p.m. Since ABC was running the best "gotcha" debate I’ve ever witnessed, why did George Stephanopuolos not drill Clinton endlessly on this issue? Since Sean Hannity was giving Stephanopuolos questions before the debate yesterday, timing cannot be an excuse.
In January 1995, as the [...]
Obama camp response on debate
Apr 17, 2008 at 9:40 AM by Political Chase
Statement issued last night from David Plouffe, Obama’s campaign manager:
“Tonight we saw a real choice between the old politics of point-scoring and distraction and a politics that focuses on bringing us together to actually solve the challenges we talk about every single election. Continuing the theme of her campaign, Senator Clinton used every single [...]
Clinton in debate: war and treaties w/o Congress approving
Apr 17, 2008 at 12:40 AM by David Pleasant
ABC’s Democratic debate in Philadelphia was absolutely awful. It might as well have been a Republican Party sponsored event with Sean Hannity and Brit Hume serving as interrogators and Hillary Clinton as their cheerleader and No. 1 fan.
For 40 to 50 minutes, Charlie Gibson and and George Stephanopuolos hammered Barack Obama on: [...]
