AM I the only one who can't watch this horsemanure? |
|
I can't watch it. I just don't care. Every time I try to put the convention coverage on it's just some fucking bullshit from a paid propagandist.
The coverage to this thing is ridiculous. The whole idea of blaming free speech zones on the dems is ridiculous. Just how dumb do they think people are?
Listening to some asshole like Chris Matthews spew shit is not something I can stand for even a moment of interest. There is nothing but NOISE coiming out of the TV. I can't focus on it.
Psyop spin circus - that's all this is, and it isn't even entertaining.

1. Do you not have CSPAN? |
|
They've got gavel-to-gavel, network-windbag-free coverage.

8. True, but CSPAN also shows Democrats trying to dance |
|
while they sing "I've got all my sisters with me".
You subtract the windbags, but increase the dorkage an equal amount.

12. I'll put dancing dems up against dancing pukes any day |
|
It wouldn't even be a contest.
95% of people can't dance, regardless of political party. It's just the way it is.

19. I know, I know I was (mostly) kidding |
|
It's more that "Holy Shit I'm dancing and there's a camera now I'm dancing AND uncomfortable" thing. Of course, I'm dancing too but am blessed to (a) be at home (b) not on camera and (c) to have had a mom who was a backup dancer for Chubby Checker and James Brown. Taught me everything I know!

Pure unadultered coverage.
Just say no to CNN, MSNBC, Faux, etc. You'll feel better

1. If you think the convention is that bad, why are you watching it?
2. Why do you feel compelled to tell us what you think about the convention?

17. Yes, it's really that bad |

I'm shocked by how openly the cable channels are attacking the Dems. Objective journalism my ass.

20. I'm due for a nice quiet day so with that info I'll just avoid |
|
changing the channel... thanks
I guess one could easily argue the point about the "Media" being controlled by "you know who" just by telling people to watch it today. Would seem obvious to the dimmest of persons.

you are getting the whole show--if people are acting "dorky" it's because they're feeling good. Even for myself, though I'm not at the Fleetcenter, I can say that if you were here in Boston, you could say that there is an electrified air, a sense of unity and a definite feeling of brother- and sisterhood. I've been able to actually "breathe" this week for the first time in nearly 4 years.

that was a great version of What's going on. The only time I have actually heard the song properly paid tribute to. CSPAN is 100% less annoying.
I see what you mean about the dancing dems effect.
