Democratic National Convention '08
The Convention deserves its own thread, I'd say.
Wish I could start on a better note, but this has to be posted. Fox News disgusts me. |
That angers me so much. I won't go defending the retards marching, but that

About midway thru that I thought I saw the Geico caveman:lol:

Will Paris Hilton be there? |
I have been watching CNN. They just reported that Senator Clinton will be releasing her delegates. I understand it is a show of party unity but yikes. My heart goes out to her supporters, especially those who worked very hard as volunteers for her. These folks will not get the sense of satisfaction during the roll call to know that their candidate was represented in the delegate voting tabulation. I have no doubts that many of them went through the same experiences for their candidates as I did for Mike Huckabee.
I've been waiting for almost seven months (since February) for my similar moment of gratification which I hope will come next week. If the Huckabee delegates have been released it will be very painful and my feelings will be hurt. I understand the reasoning behind such decisions and I hold no one accountable. However I worked tirelessly for long hours and sacrificed myself last Fall and Winter for my candidate. This will probably be very painful to Hillary's supporters. I feel bad for them. |
I agree that this Fox piece was ridiculous. However, don't pretend that Fox is the only news organization that tries to stir things up. While I don't need to go into tons of examples, the first one that popped into my head was when Connie Chung of CBS was interviewing Newt Gingich's quite elderly mom, telling her this was completely off the record and asking her what Newt thought of Hillary Clinton. Yeah, that wasn't meant to try to stir up anything.
Was the Fox story stupid and designed to to do exactly what you said, GD? Absolutely. Is this common throughout the "news" media? Absolutely. To be clear, I am NOT justifying it by saying others do it. Only pointing out that this far more pervasive than Fox News alone. |
I am also in agreement. yes the report was horrible and really stupid but I've seen repulsive things from other networks too. They are all guilty of the same things. It's not fair to single out one from the others in this case (although my disdain for Fox News knows no bounds after the primary cycle).

Never mind my political opinions of the Senior Senator from Mass but I will say it was great to see and hear Ted Kennedy in better health. He's a good speaker too.
