3. Damn why don't the people she's interviewing just ask her
"Are you working for MSNBC or the RNC? Because you seem rude as hell to anyone who isn't a republican"

God she's such a fascist shill.

5. Nora is insufferable and slanted - accusatory and loudly opinionated
It's the most obnoxious I have ever seen her, and as of now I'll turn the sound down for her along with many others.
Cindy is keeping her cool. I am so impressed. Her wonderful composure is simply elegant compared to the snippy and seemingly uninformed Nora.

7. More than rude

Belligerent, confrontational, ignorant.

I don't know who this interviewer is but my hat is off to Cindy for grace under badgering.

Cheers

24. Who was that bitch who interviewed Cindy on Hardball?
Was that Nora O'Donnell? I caught a few minutes of that, and a more obnoxious bitch I have never seen in my life! She kept saying that what Cindy wanted was "radical," to just pull our troops out of Iraq right now. She was talking about how nobody in Congress was in favor of that. I thought to myself, "The HELL with Congress! Get a clue, lady! Most of the American people, and certainly most Democrats, realize the Iraq war was a huge mistake and they want OUT! As soon as possible!" What the hell is so "radical" about that?

In any case I agree that woman is a rude, obnoxious bitch. She was downright accusatory, but not having seen her before (that I recall) I had nothing to compare her with. I've never seen her interviewing a Republican.

4. Thanks...
Norah O'Donnell was crass. I wish she would handle repugs in the same manner.

29. I wrote them right after watching the segment!
I just watched the Cindy Sheehan interview & I have to say, if our country weren't in such a mess, I would have been amused by Nora Roberts' feigned naivete.

"You're trashing George Bush," she said over & over, as though the worst president in U.S. history had approval ratings in the 90's. And brusquing up her voice to appear superior to Cindy Sheehan didn't work on me; rather, it seemed Nora Roberts were auditioning for the Faux News Cheerleading Network.

Btw, Nora, did you know that Faux News' ratings have been dropping like a lead weight? Better get with the times, gal. Cheerleading for this disastrous administration is no longer effective. Once people get turned off, there's nothing you can do to win them back.

17. I am going to email Tweety as well.
He used to have David Gregory as a guest host.

Nora lacks professionalism. She is a little bitch - or should I say a big one.

10. Cindy was wonderfully composed and on point
and Nora should be fired. The media is obscene.

13. K & R. I met Cindy in Crawford last year. She continues to put a human
face on the insanity that is the Iraq War.

She's a remarkable human being...I'm honored to have met her and learned from her. MKJ

18. it was about her hunger strike
About wanting to call attention to the protest of the occupation of Iraq. She wants people around the world to know that all Americans are not with the president.
Nora said that nobody in Congress supported immediate withdrawal, but Cindy named lots of names, even Republicans, and said she expects the numbers to grow.

19. Yuck! How unproffesional was that interviewer?
Edited on Wed Jul-05-06 10:28 PM by BlueStater
She could barely contain the glee in her voice when she mentioned that the Kerry-Feingold resolution "went down in flames". I felt like throwing up.

I also think Cindy deserves praise for this interview. Despite the GOP bullshit we constantly hear about her being insane, she seemed more human here than any of the assholes running the country the past six years.

21. I wouldn't push the Chavez thing
Edited on Thu Jul-06-06 01:24 AM by BrightKnight
I understand why she said it but it detracts from her message.

It might be better to issue statements rather than grant interviews while on a hunger strike. Most interviews are hostile and her razor sharp wit might be compromised without food.

It might be a good idea to set a finite duration for the hunger strike. The effect might be about the same.

I don't want to see her do anything that might compromise her health.

22. Possibly Sheehan's best interview. She shreds O'Donnell's Rove script
Cindy comes accross as sincere and informed.

25. Here's my letter-Snark!
Ok, you will get loads of e-mails for this & I doubt you will read them all. I hope you do read them because it i the AMERICAN people telling you enough is enough. Such a one sided biased interview!. I have never witnessed such an abandonment of journalistic principles,much less ETHICS!!

You have officially jumped the shark here. The world now KNOWS you will say & do ANYTHING to wave the Republican banner. Facts or public opinion be damned eh??.

Get a clue, Cindy spoke eloquent truth to an evil little maggot of a soul. You people should be ashamed of yourselves!!!
