I sacrificed for you ...I watched Fox coverage after Big Dawg spoke

[Rowdyboy]

Mara Eliason, Fred Barnes, Britt Hume, Morton Kondrake etc... They were actually honest. They admitted that Clinton out-did himself giving an exceptional speech. Also that Carter was powerful and effective. They poo-pooed Hill but what do you expect from these thugs...

[Coventina]

1. Thanks for taking one for the team!!!

You are a braver man than I am!

[jdj]

23. yes, muchas gracias.

couldn't stomach it myself.

[Gothic Sponge]

2. Thank you?

[thebigidea]

3. They look frightened - Kristol had to admit it was effective.

Barnes kept crossing and uncrossing his arms uncomfortably.

Lovely! Squirm, neocons, squirm!

[lumberingbear]

4. Didn't I hear that...

Mort Kondrake's wife died from Parkinsons Disease a few days ago????

[Rowdyboy]

7. Yes...I was surprised he was there, but I know from personal

experience that people react to the death of a loved one in strange ways. You cope in the best way you know.

[gratuitous]

5. They're generous with the guys who can't run again

But the person who will stand for election again gets pooh-poohed. Color me surprised as all get out. I'm sure Turd Blossom or Crashcart will be on the horn to Roger Ailes to savage anyone and everyone, relentlessly and without mercy.

[DenverDem]

6. barnes was whining about the bashing

He said that the Democrats rule against busholini bashing only meant that they didn't use his name.

The Big Dog's brilliant acknowledgement that the publicans believed in the horse shit they spew was devastating. The publicans believe in consolidating power and wealth in the hands of their cronies, in abandoning The People. They actually believe this hateful insanity they have visited on our Great Nation. Bill sweetly delivered a world class kick to their nuts. It couldn't have been more effective.

If only we can continue this energy until November we can sweep the traitors out of Washington.

[bloom]

16. I think it was good not to use his* name all the time

everyone knew who they were talking about anyway....

[FranzFerdinand]

8. watched Fox also...

boy, they couldn't help but be amazed by Bill. it was very well done (for Faux).

[loudsue]

9. Rowdyboy.....you're my new hero.

I was sooooo moved by Clinton's speach that I'm still crying. It's been almost 1/2 hour, and I'm still crying.

I KNEW that ANY American couldn't hear that speach and NOT crumble under the weight of what Clinton said.

I'll never be the same.

That's all I can say right now...I'm still crying.

:kick::kick::kick:

[LearnedHand]

24. Swear to god,

...the Big Dawg makes me want to amend the Constitution (well, momentarily, anyway) just so he can be president again and FIX THINGS. He's AMAZING! He can move me to tears just by walking onto the stage.

[oasis]

28. Four more years.........of William Jefferson Clinton.

I'm in heaven. O8) O8) O8) O8) O8)

[Bhaisahab]

29. for us international DUers... anyone got a transcript of clinton's speech?

[ScreamingMeemie]

10. Go take a bath...

So I can give you a great big old hug for doing that for us!

:hi:

[Rowdyboy]

13. Done...I need a hug right now

My partner has been gone since FRIDAY taking care of his 84 year old mother and trying to get her into an acceptable nursing home in her home town.

I've taken a "virtual" shower...Now where's my hug?

[ScreamingMeemie]

14. Here it is!! And extras too for your poor lonely self!

:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

:loveya:

On edit: Hope he comes home to you soon. I'm always miserable when MrG is away!

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

17. And a hug and a thank you from me too

for watching that. How DID you keep your dinner down, you dear man?

Hope your guy comes home soon......as Mrs.G said I always miss mine, too.

Hugs!!!

[Lone_Wolf_Moderate]

11. I watched it too, and the Big Dog out-did himself indeed..

The coverage from Brit and his crew was pretty balanced, compared to Hannity and his "Reinvention Convention" bullshit. Man, that got on my nerves.

[Spiffarino]

12. I watched, too. Gahhh!

I witnessed the lovefest between the king and queen of neocon hatemongering, Hannity and Coulter. As usual, Colmes just sat there on his hands looking freakish and didn't utter a sound except to end with, "Fox is the recognized news leader in Fair an..." Gawd, I can't even bring myself to type such unmitigated bullshit!

Of course, when the Big Dog got done, they all went on about what a good speech it was. Hell, it was freakin' brilliant enough that even those assholes couldn't lie their way around it! Yet Kondracke still managed to throw in the word "demagogue" in the mix.

Jebus H. Breakdancing Palomino, I swear I hate those lying Fox bastards. Somebody give me a ticket and I swear I'll fly up there and follow them all over the convention floor yelling, "LIARS!" at the top of my lungs until they have to leave the building to spout their lies in silence.


On edit: too angry...grammar went AWOL

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

21. It is moments like these...

That I really wish I wasn't dirt poor. So I could buy you a plane ticket. ;-)

[LearnedHand]

27. HAW-HAW-HAW-HAW-HAW!!!

"Jebus H. Breakdancing Palomino" -- {{{wipes eyes and blows nose}}} -- oh, man, I've GOT to remember that.

[Mr_Spock]

15. BOYCOTT FAUX NEWS DAMN IT!!

BOYCOTT FAUX NEWS

Why the fuck are we supporting them by validating their existence. Self hatred I think - they wouldn't exist if they HAD NO DEMOCRATIC VIEWERS!! They would be invalidated!

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

18. THat's right

fucking TURN them the hell off.

Though I am grateful to RowdyBoy for watching them for six minutes tonight.

But hell's bells, people, don't go there. You don't need those pusbags sliming you with their filth.

Why in the hell do Americans need talking heads to tell them what to think and how to feel anyway? Most of my fence sitting friends get their opinions from talking heads not from reading about or hearing/seeing the actual events.

[roscoeroscoe]

20. great evening

my wife (never been political) was moved to tears. loved the segues, loved patti labelle following big dog (love that nickname) and it was a very good speach. i found myself imagining bush having run against clinton...

i've got orders to iraq so it's all seen through our lens of worry and stress. my wife is being so brave and jeez, i was thoughtless enough to drag her to f-911. she's so excited by clinton and loved the preacher who served with kerry. me too.

it was great and i pity those who didn't watch c-span. it's priceless.

[catzies]

22. Welcome to DU, roscoeroscoe!

:hi:

You take good care of yourself in Iraq and come home soon to your wife. We'll be right here, kicking Repug ass for you, here at home. ;)

[NightOwwl]

26. Welcome roscoerosce

Clinton against Bush would be a sight to behold.

:hi:

[umtalal]

30. May you be safe and return to us sooner than later.

and yes, WELCOME!

[Straight Shooter]

31. Love your sig line, roscoeroscoe

We know you'll take care of your comrades in Iraq, and may Heaven watch over and protect you, and send you home to your wife and family Godspeed.

Welcome to DU :hi:

[jdj]

25. But if you are going to watch Fox news one night of your life...

that would be tonight.

Or election night.

[Gloria]

19. Over at MSNBC, Andrea Mitchell had a look of awe on her face and

mumbled about the "strength and wisdom are not opposing values" comment.

Fineman said that Clinton gave Kerry his identity--the "steady hand" image....
