1. That doesn't even mean anything!
Sensitive? Sensitive to what? One of the stupidest polls, EVER. Not only that, its a piece of pro-Bush propaganda.

2. Why don't they do a poll asking
"Is our children learning?"

It's amazing how all the networks totally ignore all the Bushisms.

3. I just e-mailed them and congratulated them for winning
my First Annual Major Media Moronic Poll of the Year award.
The votings not going so badly though...

Is being sensitive important in the war on terror?

Yes 44% 11950 votes

No 56% 15476 votes

DU that sucker...if 10% of us vote right now sensitive takes the lead!

:kick:

4. Well, it's not like there's anything important going on
You know, ripping a quote out of context is vitally important for the CNN poll, which will tell all of America a completely meaningless "statistic."

Pathetic, CNN.

5. CNN is whoring the crap out of this

top political story every hour. Quote always taken out of
context. Cheney piling on sneering his "response".

Cheney "red meat" response... we cannot be more sensitive to
terrorists, we must destroy them!

Fear, death, destruction, revenge, kill, destroy.

solemn duty.

7. What the hell does that mean?
Sensitive? Like the mind blowing realization that blowing up Mosques is not a good thing? That kind of sensitivity?

Someone please stop this ride. I want to get off.

8. what a coincidence
that was the topic on the local lite-weight talk show this morning.

Must have been one of the talking points of the day from the GOP and now CNN is part of it all.

10. Will Dem surrogates nip this in bud? I doubt it.
"C'mon (Judy, Paula, Wolf, Chris, Tim, etc), we both know this distortion of the Senator's words are straight from the RNC, and it's no surprise you've gotten the memo. No amout of right wing spin can change the fact that we do need to be more sensitive to getting out allies working as a team, to the rights of law abiding americans, to doing what needs to be done to win this war on terror.

John Kerry was right. The RNC is distorting his words, and as usual you're repeating the right wing talking points."

11. You know,
this may be a really good thing. I suspect very few people outside the brain dead core will appreciate that sort of sneer smear.
