Murtha on MSNBC with Nora O'Donnell

[Armstead]

Murtha saying on his recent trip saw that things are not working.

Nora trying to butt in, but he's not letting her.

Citing how we have become "the enemy" to many Iraqis.

Redeploy.

Nora saying he was called a coward.

He replied: "You guys have a habit of trying to distract from the issues."

Woo Hoo.

[Loonman]

1. Wow, called her on her Republican butt-kissing

Nice. Nora O'Donnell is a crappy "journalist".

[bluedog]

2. did you hear him

.man did he bitchslap her.

[Jane Austin]

23. Very gratifying!

He made her look like an idiot. :)

BTW, did I hear her use the Republican "Democrat" as an adjective?

She's a disgrace.

[H2O Man]

3. She can't distract him

from his message, and she is frustrated. Her planned interview just got flushed.

[Armstead]

4. Now Nora mentioning Michael Moore

"Nora you're saying that because you think you have to..."

They're trying to change the tenor of what I'm saying to distract.

"They're not answering the real questions."

Nora just babbling on about politics, and showing Cheney excerpt. "Are you rewriting history?"

"They're just trying to distract from the facts. I don;t say 'withdraw' but 'redeploy.' Big difference."

[Armstead]

8. Now she's bringing up weasly Democrats attacking him

Quote from Rahm Emmanuel distancing himself.

"I'm speaking it because of what I've seen in Iraq and what I'm hearing in the US from people."

[oasis]

14. Nora's the one that says Dems "attacked" and "criticized" Murtha. Actually

they merely voiced disagreement on his position. Not one harsh criticism by a Democrat.

[No DUplicitous DUpe]

5. Go Murtha...WOW

Brushes off their attacks and stays on message! GREAT

[oasis]

6. Murtha says "I don't care what my critics say about me, they can't dispute

the substance of what I say". Norah might as well work for Fox since she's using Fred Barnes' talking points.

[MADem]

7. He is NOT GOING TO BE DISTRACTED from the FACTS!!!

Iraqis want us out, we have to give them incentive to take over by GETTING OUT!!

Turn it over to them, REDEPLOY to the periphery, and only go in if there is national security reasons, i.e. danger to the US...

Now Nora is bringing up Rahm Emmanuel.

Jack goes to the hospital every week, he sees the tragedy...servicemembers have lost their homes.

By the end of the year, everyone will come around to his position.

He got 1500 calls, 1200 supported him!

[bluedog]

11. he's not going to take the MEDIA CRAP

good for him..Hes defending his words and his actions......and he will not have his words turned into a spin....


:woohoo:

[depakid]

19. Maybe other Dems can learn that lesson

Not holding my breath....

[Presstitutes]

9. More here

[DemsUnited]

10. Just mentioned all the positive calls his office was getting.

Sure sounded like he appreciates them so lets all make sure he gets some more!

[bleedingheart]

13. I called yesterday and told them how proud I was of him

[Loonman]

12. NBC should fire her

No way a Toady like O'Donnell should be reporting on national affairs, put her on Today Show Weekend doing cooking pieces.

[blm]

24. Nora's doing exactly what Timmy Russert wants her to do. No doubt.

.

[w8liftinglady]

25. I was surprised by Russert's statements on Murtha

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5961048/from/RS.3/
actually,quite positive...of course,he may be saving his real thoughts for Meet the Press Sunday

[blm]

31. Russert is on fair behavior mode because of Plame case.

He'll have his minions like Nora do the dirtiest work.

[oasis]

26. Speaking of that, bring on Tim Russert. What'd ya know, he will be on MTP.

Edit: to change subject title.

[Uncle Joe]

35. I don't think she can boil water. n/t

[w8liftinglady]

15. I love Murtha....keep du'ing their poll.

He has such integrity.

[Peter Frank]

22. Forgive my ignorance...

...what poll are you referring to?

[w8liftinglady]

29. this one :)

[Peter Frank]

16. Murtha was brilliant!

Man, does he know how to stay in message or what? He really cut through the static.

[No DUplicitous DUpe]

20. Another must see interview for page #1 on DU, me thinks.

How could anyone not be moved by his words. Brilliant!

[Armstead]

17. MSNBC Anchor

After the interview, one of the anchors said:

"he certainly doesn't seem to be playing politics but speaking what's honestly on his mind"

It kind of reinforces the point that when Democrats actually talk like real people from their hearts, it helps to blow away the media snarkiness.

[noiretextatique]

38. and it seemed like a little

:spank: for nora :D

[H2O Man]

18. "For Al,

who knew the lesson of Emerson and taught it to the rest of us: ... 'that if a single man plant himself on his convictions and there abide, the huge world will come round to him."
-- From a note that Robert Kennedy wrote on a scrap of paper on his campaign bus in late March, 1968, to his friend Allard K. Lowenstein

Strange days, indeed.

[fooj]

21. I just called MSNBC and gave them hell!

Here's the # [phone]!!! Call and put in a complaint against her! Her behavior was less than professional!

Peace.

[w8liftinglady]

27. Email MTP with a question(or praise) for Murtha

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6913788/

[Peter Frank]

30. Done... nt

[IADEMO2004]

28. Poor Nora

she had all her video clips and graphics ready and mean mutha Murtha wouldn't play her silly game.

[Bozita]

32. Nora the Whora

She belongs on Faux.

[Peter Frank]

33. Kick & Recommended...

Let's DU this thread ...allot of good info here.

:kick: :kick: :kick:

[fooj]

34. Kick and recommend!

:kick:

[renate]

36. so... even before Schmidt did her little showboat act today

the formal Republican attack strategy was to call Murtha is "a coward."

1) Thank you, Norah, for sharing the RNC talking points with us. You're a good little doggie for listening to your masters.

2) How could the Chickenhawk Party not predict that calling a decorated combat vet a coward would result in a prompt and emphatic bite in the ass from said vet, who, after all, is the one with courage?

[Straight Shooter]

37. This is one man the Repub smear machine does NOT want to mess with.

I watched his interview with Wolf yesterday, and he absolutely would not back down and would not let Wolf get away with one single solitary thing. It was a beautiful sight to behold and music to my ears.

It seems to me that Murtha has been holding back for a long, long time and the volcano is spewing the truth now and it won't stop. Get out of the way, Repubs, Murtha is going to bury you.

[GoreDean2008]

39. MSNBC + Newsweek = Sensational Trash Media

Go to www.newsweek.com and you will see that it is jointly run with MSNBC.

Besides, I don't know how Nora O'Donnell went this bad at such a young age. Pity on her.
