Quote:Originally posted by AURaptor: You've got to be fucking kidding. The ACORN rep was evading and side stepping the entire issue, trying to make the BANKS the villains, and ignoring the basic concept that Mr Varney was trying to get across to her. That is exactly what journalist are SUPPOSE to do, not let the interviewee skip out on a direct question.

Quote: Journalists are supposed to badger, brow beat and scream at the interviewee if they don't get the answer they want? They're supposed to silence any answer that isn't part of a preconceived script for vilifying particular groups or people by talking through and over them?
Quote:I suppose you're right if you're talking about propaganda organs like fox news.
Quote:Jeremy Paxman can conduct an interview against people who don't want to answer those questions, but he manages to do it without sounding like a petulant teenager. That's because he's a half decent journalist, while that guy is a hack.

It is not those who use the term "Islamo-Fascism" who are sullying the name of Islam; it is the Islamo-Fascists. - Dennis Prager A concern of the GOP is that the people aren't informed enough to understand their policies, while a fear of the Dems is that the people ARE.

Quote: He's pushing an opinion. "Do you have a right?" is asking an opinion, and it's a question that deserves an opinionated answer, which is what she was giving. What she didn't do was give the loaded answer to his loaded question that he wanted. So when she didn't give the answer he needed to push it the way he wanted, he just shouted over her response until he could make her shut up.

Quote: Thursday, February 26, 2009 03:01 From my perspective, the only thing more disgusting than the Democrat's spending orgy, is the phony indignation of the Republican "opposition". How they can make small government arguments now and keep a straight face is beyond me. It's frustrating too, because we desperately need someone holding back the flood gates if we're going to save our nation. But over the last eight years, they've squandered any pretense at small government ideology. To pretend they care at this point is sickening. There a few sincere voices, but those were the ones the mainstream Republicans laughed at in the primaries. Are you still laughing, AU? SergeantX

Quote:Originally posted by SergeantX: I think she has a point. The 'parallel track' that he wants to ignore (the bailout shuffle) establishes the rules of the game. The government is in the business of massive wealth redistribution. The only way to win is to make the most pathetic case. What ACORN is doing is not fundamentally different than what the banks or the car manufacturers are doing. It's basically just a huge taxpayer gangbang. ACORN is just fighting for it's place in line.
