5. granted, I could not stomach the whole show...but basically, McCaullife was spinning
for Clinton stating that the race is virtually tied, that Hillary is winning key swing states in polls, that she has a broader coalition (wink,wink, nod, nod). Lanny Davis continues to whine that she is winning and will NOT be pushed out or told what to do, Carole Simpson, journalist, tells viewers that white Obama supporters will secretly vote for McCain in the fall because of hidden racism (she is black, BTW). Thankfully, Ed Schulz and Stephanie Miller offer facts and numbers to support the truth. Larry appears to pander and coddle the Clinton supporters.

12. Mostly Hillary supporters in total denial, much like the ones on DU
Obama can't win whites and swing states blah blah blah.

Cable news is painful to watch.

Stephanie Miller is on though!!!

29. I'm not sure if they're in denial or
they're just willing to appear dumb so they can steamroll their way to where they think they're goin'.

It fries the brain, and makes folks believe what is not really there.

11. Amen! actually, I don't feel that any of the cable channels are news channels.
all opinion, entertainment, and a few factual world event stories thrown in for good measure from time to time.

14. What's up with Carole Simpson?
I cannot believe she said white folks will not vote for Obama because when they get in the booth, all they'll hear is "G-D America."

No thanks :thumbsdown:

I don't wanna hear another Clinton surrogate say Obama can't win whites when the majority of his primary voters are white.

15. Carole Simpson is a disgrace to her race, her gender, her country, and her profession.....


She's as bad as Lanny Davis.... and that's saying something.

18. Oh, Lanny Davis is horrid with the race baiting and a woman guest with him is just as bad.
She said that an PEOPLE will not vote for an AA in the GE. :grr: a la The Bradley Effect.

WE ARE IN DEFCON 4 FOR OUR BELOVED PARTY!

Mark my words: If this continues though next week, we will CREATE deep racial resentments that will NOT be mended before the G.E. :nuke:

20. Artist's Rendering of Lanny Davis


We'll be OK. The Clintons are digging a hole, and everyone is paying attention. Just when I thought she'd take the high road, she morphed into the most racially divisive Democratic candidate in memory.

19. Yeah, he's even loonier during the replay!
Swear to gawd, you have to see it to believe it.

"White people won't vote for Obama" - he didn't just say it once, he said it 3 times in 5 minutes!

And now, he claims that West Virginny, a red state, is the all-important indicator for the Hillary campaign!!

What a crock!!

23. West Virginia, Hillary's new firewall.
Good God, the lunacy just never stops.

Her campaign has morphed from inevitability to approaching Bush-like levels of denial and stubbornness.

21. Who was that person completely telling lies of supposedly men pushing Clinton out of the race?
What bullshit! How can Larry King put such filth in my view on his show!

It is one thing to have a heated discussion but that was just disgusting.

24. Actually, the "Southern Strategy" was far more subtle.
The Clintons and their surrogates actualy go there. They don't use "code," they just come out and say "Black man can't win."

:grr: :grr: :crazy: :crazy: :grr: :grr:

She should be ashamed of herself. I wonder how much longer Bill Clinton thinks he can hold court in Harlem with this kind of nonsense.

27. So, is this just a Clinton Supporters' Increasingly Detached Rationale Hour, or what?
Anyone from the Obama side on this program? Even if only to point and laugh?

pointing, laughing or just rolling their eyes.

Looking forward to checking this out on the Tivo. Thank gawd there was some levity, but if I were them, they'd probably cut to me and my jaw wide-open, speechless, listening to this freak-show.

28. Okay I turned to the replay here on the west coast ......
from my Laker game .... because of all the hoopla I read earlier on this (Lakers were getting whooped anyway) .... Caught most of the controversy from earlier posts ...... but when this Simpson lady was about to make her last comments the CNN BROADCAST WENT BLANK for about 20 seconds !!!!!!!

Immediately changed the channel to see if it was just CNN and YES IT WAS !!! The other channels came up just fine, went back to CNN and a few seconds later it came up again ..... WTF was this lady's last comments is all I wanna know >>> ???? Someone please post this segment on You-tube ... or let me know in a PM when anyone has a link. Thanks.

42. I saw it. It was totally blown out of proportion. Give me a break.
Carole Simpson said that "she is fearful" that America will not elect a black candidate President.
It wasn't outrageous or "despicable", as somone on another thread called it.
