MSNBC BURNING QUESTION: Is Scott McClellan Endangering the COUNTRY?
Edited on Thu May-29-08 06:10 PM by K Gardner
Are you freakin kidding me?? He wrote a book telling us what we ALL already know.

Now they're accusing him of trying to put Barack Obama in the White House, interfering in an Election Cycle.. and ENDANGERING THE COUNTRY !

I almost can't breathe. This isn't my country.

He wrote. A. Book. Now he's a treasonous traitor for telling the truth.

It was evidently an inconventient truth. Wow.

It was Michael Smerconish who wondered out loud if Scotty wanted to Elect Barack Obama.

It was Michelle Bernard, the same woman who told us there would be "blacks rioting in the streets if the nomination was taken away from Obama", who suggested Scottie was "endangering the country".

UPDATE: LOL - Tweety, Andrea and Chuck Todd are suggesting he may have had "help" writing the book. From a liberal leftie, no doubt. OK.. Which one of you did it??!!

6. so putting Obama in the White House equates to endangering the country?
Who the hell are they to suggest that?

Anyway, McClellan already endangered our country and now he's going to make money off of it.

14. NO NO.. LOL ! These were two statements from two different "pundits"... I
should have made that clear. Smerconish said Scotty was trying to get Obama elected, interfering, etc.

Then they went to Bernard and she said he was endangering the country.. I don't think that was equated with electing Obama, just writing the book.

I'll try to edit to make it clear.. thanks !!

10. I Think The "Press"
is after him too for blowing their complicity with the *bush admin.
I hope he has 10,000 bandages in the medicine cabinet
because they'll try to cut him that many times before this is all over.

13. notice that Gregory is making a SPECIAL effort to shoot down
absolutely every point that Rachel makes? He isn't doing that with anyone else.



ps: lol, wtf, one guy just said that Obama discouraging his supporters from protesting the DNC meeting is another demonstration of his "failure to connect", like how he "failed to connect with people in WV". ?!!

eventhough it doesn't sound like there is much of a surprise except the fact that someone in the administration is actually telling the truth.

17. Haven't you figured it out yet?
Edited on Thu May-29-08 06:00 PM by Kutjara
It's very simple: Bush and his cronies ARE America. Therefore, logically, anything that harms BushCo also harms America (strangely, it doesn't seem to work the other way around, but that's beyond the scope of this post). Anything that harms America is, of course, treason, so anything that harms BushCo is also treason. QED.

See? It's easy when you understand the full glory of our democratic system. We should probably change the Presidential Seal to read "I Am The State."

20. David Gregory will do whatever he can to discredit Scotty and you never
hear him talk much about the role media played or did not play in all of this. I am surprised that Michelle Bernard would make such a comment as you say she did.

Man, it seems like the closer Barack gets to the nomination, the more shrill and panic stricken some of these characters get.

24. One of the Air America guys was talking about Bernard today.. about her
comment about the "race riots".. I have no idea where she came from or how she gets away with saying some of this crap.

Oh.. stupid me. Its the MSM ! duh. And Gregory.. he said straight out yesterday "it's not OUR fault.. the American people are responsible".. it's our fault for not being active enough, not asking enough questions, not protesting.. b/s.

28. Yeah, think about it, you hear them say they basically have to hold the
American peoples hand and guide them because they more or less say they can't think for themselves. Now it is their fault. This media is so totally unbelievable, you can go bonkers thinking about it.

40. Seems like Michelle Bernard just started appearing all at once, out of the blue.
I don't know anything about her, but I did an actual double-take when she said there would be
"race riots" in the street if Obama doesn't receive the nomination. And I looked up at the TV thinking,
"What moron just said THAT?"

23. I find the faux outrage to be amusing. It was his job to spin back then, so to say that his
opinions now are on contrast to the orders from above that he was told to express and therefore false, is ludicrous.

and sentenced for their crimes against democracy. Their sentences should be executed in public.

31. Agreed. They should have to be certified so that when they knowingly lie
Or connive with the government they should have their licenses revoked. I propose a new federal law to that effect.

if Obama didn't get the nomination.

41. En-DANGER-ing the country
The default is always fear mongering, how lame. Stand strong, the fear tactics will be rolled out again, domestic military exercises included, inflammatory remarks, disturbing news reports--this is the way they work. Fear and anger are what they are after.

42. This is really bad news for the m$$$$fm..for they
are getting busted wide open as are the bushites.

I take back the nice things I said about michelle bernard.

If somebody came out with a book that inadvertantly helped hilary would the mediawhores be screaming the question "IS SO AND SO ENDANGERING THE COUNTRY?"

The USA mainstream media have the mentality of a greedy fascist.

44. They are scared shitless. And it's not only democrats who are waking up.
Ever since Ron Paul was censored out by the MSM, despite getting 25% in some states, many conservative people I know have realized the truth about the corporate media.

and not much will be sweeter than the US mediawhores being held accountable for the bushites and the killing wars.

All of those mediawhores who's faces come on the screen and turn out the propaganda religiously.
