News Channels Are FEATURING Footage Of The Bush Meltdown
Edited on Sat Oct-09-04 10:08 AM by Beetwasher
They're featuring in their recap of the debate. It's the first one they show.

Bush looks and sounds like a frothing lunatic and I've seen it featured in a few places already.

On edit: I realized I wasn't watching CNN, but so far this morning I've seen it on a few news channels.

1. To borrow a tired phrase from the right
But can we start calling him a "wild-eyed Rightist" from now on?

I hope other news networks follow suit.
They probably won't. But it's a nice thought.

MSNBC last night kept focusing on Kerry "invading Bush's space" rather than Bush* having a meltdown and shouting down the moderator.

9. And MSRNC got even worse overnight in their web-posted article
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6191353/

Bush, Kerry go toe-to-toe in quarrelsome debate
Aggressive president follows Cheney’s lead in second confrontation

NBC, MSNBC and news services
Updated: 12:07 a.m. ET Oct. 9, 2004

ST. LOUIS - Committing himself to going on the offensive in the last month of the campaign, President Bush tore into Sen. John Kerry during the second presidential debate Friday night, saying he could understand why people thought the Democratic challenger “changes positions a lot, because he does.” Kerry answered Bush’s attacks calmly but sternly, accusing Bush of “choosing a tax cut over homeland security” and “going it alone in Iraq.”

Those of us who saw the debate may well be shocked at this kind crap propaganda that MSRNC turns out.

The whole article focused on Bush almost totally. Kerry was almost totally ignored, except as a target of Bush's supposed attacks.

2. About fucking time!!
Jesus, the man had a meltdown! He totally lost it and went over the edge! To angrily interrupt Gibson like that in an insane manner really shows how unstable Bush is!

5. Well, I've been waiting for the media rats to start abandoning ship
The moment these media guys figure out Kerry is going to win they'll be a stampede of "journalists" jumping off the Bush boat and swimming over to Kerry hoping to save their influence with the "President."

7. Melt down
Kerry scored his biggest victory by getting under Bush's skin. Once he is out of his bubble, Bush's real meanness and instability are there for the whole world to see. Even though it is a tragedy to have this Bozo (sorry Bozo, no offense to you)in office, can you imagine what the world would been like had he been a cold war president?

8. NO one would be here..
Edited on Sat Oct-09-04 10:19 AM by kerryin2004
This man would have started a nuclear war during the Cuban Missile Crisis..I am telling you, he is not a sane man.. They don't avoid press conferences and opposing views because of his inability to speak and answer..They avoid them because they are all scared to death he is going to get angry and do something irrational!

10. And the best part of showing a clip of that
is that they don't show what Kerry said. bush*'s anger in that clip is completely shorn of context. All the viewer sees is bush* angry, with no apparent reason for his anger.

People don't like angry people, UNLESS they know the reason for the anger AND agree with it. When people see this clip, it will appear as if bush* is angry FOR NO REASON AT ALL.
