The Wingnuts are trying to get Gwen Ifil fired

Damn, Do these cretins have a clue how deeply disturbed they look?

It's like watching a bunch of Monkeys flinging poop around their cage.

2. Yes, she was harder on Kerry...
Edited on Wed Oct-01-08 12:21 AM by TTUBatfan2008
from what I remember.

Which just goes to show that they are judging her not on the content of her character but on the color of her skin. They're scared shitless that she's going to side with Obama because she's African American. What they don't seem to understand is that she's a credible journalist.

5. Good!
Let see how much goodwill that will earn them.
Hope they don't get Judy Woodgruff though. She's a GOP hack, as far as I'm concerned!

7. OMFG, "affirmative action poster child"
"Yeah this needs to be stopped. There is no reason to have someone this biased moderating the debates. Especially the affirmative action poster child Gwen Ifill. Is that the best we can do? How about a non-journalist? Sheesh."

:wtf:

Maybe you would prefer the guy with the cardboard sign, hanging out at the intersection?

Dumb Fuck.

10. I'm sure they'd find Bill-o to be a credible moderator.

11. It is unbelievable how ignorant those people are…
Plus, it's hard to read -- not just because it's warped thinking, but the layout makes it hard to read.

13. I'm not sure that's totally bad
Gwen Ifill is not an unbiased individual.

Her performance in the VP debate of 2004 was shameful and she is reputed to be BFF's with Condomsleezy Rice.

Dems won't get fair treatment from anyone, but there has to be a better candidate than Ifill.

14. The fact that a woman is the moderator is what they hate.
They wanted it to be a man so they could say she was bullied by Biden and the moderator. It is absolutely perfect that a woman was picked to be a moderator!! That takes the sexist argument off the table.
