Soledad does it again!!!! This time with OPSEC (the navy seals trashing the President)

and holding people or organizations accountable.
Rachel is a liberal but she is fair and an excellent fact checker. There's no legit reason why a partisan cannot stand up for the truth.

That is why she lost her morning spot. She didn't hold back.

tough journalism out there, it might scare the advertisers.

any decent journalist. She may be saving CNN from itself.

he should know that the leader of Seal Team 6's name isn't "Admiral Craven", but admiral McRaven.

I suspect most of his friends close to the seal community frequent the bar stools at the far end of Legion hall bar. You know what I mean, Vern?

Whoa..that should be a dead give away that he's not quite the big SEAL he thinks he is if he can't come up with the name of Admiral McRaven.

Time Magazine's runner up for Person of the Year.

"McRaven speaks respectfully of bush as Commander in Chief, saying he "made some very, very tough decisions." About Obama, without a question to prompt him, he waxes lyrical and at length. The planning and decisionmaking for the bin Laden raid, he volunteers, "was really everything the American public would expect from their national leadership."

"The President was at all times presidential," he says. "I would contend he was the smartest guy in the room. He had leadership skills we'd expect from a guy who had 35 years in the military."

You can always tell when it is partisan with these guys. There's an obvious blame/hate agenda simmering barely beneath the surface just ready to boil over. Who do they think they're fooling?

O'Brien and am really happily surprised on her calling out people who just get up and lie. This is so unheard of..especially on cnn.

And, I remember her not always being like this..I'm wondering if perhaps she's trying to be the complete opposite of the competition known as mourning joe(when Dems do well)?

Non partisan my big fat ass.

anyway - he was on Hardball to counter the swiftboatliar and brought this very fact up.
Smercomish was subbing and did an excellent job with the facts.

just a few months, and why they are refusing to reveal the identities of their donors?

If they are non-partisan, then that could be determined by taking a look at who is funding them.

She should also have asked him if by inserting himself so deeply in politics their tax exempt status is legitimate.

The question about 'how do you know the leaks are coming from the administration' should have been followed up also, he gave a very weak response to that, claiming the reason he knows is that they are 'coming from someone with a high level of information'. Well, that would include Senators and members of Congress who are presumably on Committees that receive classified information. So how does he know, without a crystal ball, that the leaks are not coming from Republicans?

The only thing he was challenged on was whether their claim to non-partisanship is valid.

The Dems are going to have to do a better job of going after these people. They are receiving an awful lot of funding for a group that just sprang up out of nowhere in June, conveniently just in time to funnel money to them for anit-Obama ads. He should be questioned relentlessly about the funding, put him on the defensive. He was not on the defensive in that interview, imo.

Well, if you're a American before you're a Republican, how come you didn't do twenty-minute commercials about George Bush II taking credit for this:



Or this?



After all, the military made those things happen, not him!


And since you consider intelligence leaks to be so loathsome, did you stand up for these folks?




It hasn't been that long ago since you ran this game on us with John Kerry. This time around, however, we understand what it's really about: you are trying to take Obama's foreign policy/military success off the table since the Republicans have nothing to counter it with. But we've learned from Kerry's mistake of refusing to "sink" to your level. So much for your "American issue." Swiftboat us once, shame on us; swiftboat us twice, shame on YOU!
