Anyone watched the RNC Attacks on CSPAN around 1:30-2PM EST?

[Pachamama]

The Repukes are trying to destroy the Dem Convention, calling it a sham and are telling how great Bu$h is and that Kerry is all a lie...

:grr:

On edit:

The activities on CSPAN I was referring to when I originally posted this are now over....it basically was a press conference with Ed Gillespie from the RNC and Rudy Giuliani and others (the Lt. Gov of Mass who is a Republican) all calling the Dem convention a sham and saying that the "makeover" of the Dem party is a lie and then attacking Kerry....its over now, but may be replayed and I'm certain they will keep at it....

This sh*t is pissing me off....

It's like ex-girlfriends crashing the ex-boyfriends wedding and nit-picking and putting down everything they can about him and the bride...

"Ooh....look at her dress...how tacky"

"Ooh...she's a slut...she shouldn't being wearing white"

"Ooh....he has a small pecker...anyone going with him deserves what they get"

And so on, and so on....

What pisses me off is think how many undecided voters want to hear the message and instead of getting the message from the Dems, they are getting it from the Repukes and the media whores that are tearing into the message like the analogy I just gave to a wedding....

I just hope the Dems are paying attention and can go full throttle to crash their wedding in NYC

[whistle]

1. Pick up the remote, aim it at the TV and press "power off".....

...Feel better now?

[Pachamama]

9. Yes...I can't stand what they are doing...its like they are ex-girlfriends

crashing the ex-boyfriends wedding and nit-picking and putting down everything they can about him and the bride...

"Ooh....look at her dress...how tacky"

"Ooh...she's a slut...she shouldn't being wearing white"

"Ooh....he has a small pecker...anyone going with him deserves what they get"

And so on, and so on....

2. I guess they realized that everyone was turning to CSPAN...

...to watch the convention instead of watching their trained seals on CNN/FAUX/MSNBC.

[johnnie]

4. I was thinking the same thing

Hopefully they stay on the same format as they have been on.

[tom_paine]

8. "Trained Seals"...what an excellent characterization

Better than Totalitarian Bootlciker!

[jean]

17. yes-'trained seals' is excellent - I can hear those seals barking now

[whistle]

25. Ohoo, C-Span is not what you think it is anymore....

...C-Span is owned and operated but none other than Rupert Murdock, of Fox, neo-con right wing aficionado extraordinaries! Turn that frigging channel off before it brain f**ks you to death!:argh:

[study_war_no_more]

3. if yu support john kerry yu must be against the war and gay marriage

ever notice how repukes cannot talk about issues only attack their opponents with absurd emotion provoking charges, in fact framing arguements with absurdity is what they do best after flat out denial.

[AntiCoup2K4]

5. Considering Kerry's NOT against the war, how do they figure that?

For that matter he's also against gay marriage. Hell the right wingers should be applauding him on those points.

Funny that the Busheep want to attempt to assault Kerry on the very things that make some of us limit their "support" of his candidacy to just a vote in November.

[LittleApple81]

6. Are you watching the same thing? There is a plastic bimbette from

Fox, but the last 3 minutes they have had a pretty meaningful discussion.

[LittleApple81]

10. The analysis is not all bad. The wimp Democrats won two wars (Martin

Seiff). McGovern a decorated war hero. DEMOCRATS ARE NOT WIMPS.

[0007]

16. Martin Sieff sounds as screwy as he looks, in fact he looks like

Harpo Marks. And that stupid women that is sitting to his left is a real blow hart.

[LittleApple81]

19. It doesn't matter what he looks like, people. HEAR WHAT HE IS SAYING!

[LittleApple81]

22. For example, he was talking about the depth of fresh smart politicians

the democrats are creating compared to nothing on the repug side.

[jean]

7. not watching, but your comment reminds me of "Aren't you sick of it???"

from John Edwards last night.

The negative tone may help get their base to cough up more money to the cause, but it will be the final straw for undecided voters to go for Kerry/Edwards.

Another thread mentioned that Kerry is going to hold off on spending money on ads during August. This will let bush run rampaging the negative crap all over the place and it should turn undecideds off.

Kerry/Edwards are going to campaign across 21 states over two weeks right after the convention.

[Pachamama]

14. See my post above w/ the analogy to a wedding being crashed...

I'm so tired of it....the media really is controlled by the neo-cons...I didn't believe it before, now I do....

I just hope the Dems are going to take the high road in how they run the campaign (as they are doing, nothing fake about that) but I hope that they take a page out to the play book of the Repukes and let go on the media and crash the GOP wedding in NYC the same way that has been done to them....

Reason - because ultimately, he/she who controls the message, controls the views of the undecided and that, is the real issue here and the Republicans know that....

This is war...plain and simple and if the Dems can't get their message out, then how are they going to win? :eyes:

[Joanne98]

11. This a good example of why mild forms of violence (slapping)

should be legal. We could have professional slappers on the floor to deal with this crap. I can't believe the Dems even let them in the door.

[LittleApple81]

12. come on Pachamama, it is pretty interesting. WE SHOULD WATCH!

[Pachamama]

21. Oh, I'm not saying not to watch...it's helpful to see the strategy of the

Repukes and neo-cons, but you will need antacid because its so nauseating and infuriating....

:grr:

[LittleApple81]

13. If they retransmit it PLEASE WATCH IT . It is very telling.. and criticism

of the media has not been timid.

[Pachamama]

23. Yes, if its re-transmitted watch it - its fascism Pravda for the masses in

America...very telling about their strategy....

[LittleApple81]

15. PEOPLE I AM NOT KIDDING: USA Today and Seiff (UPI?) have been

terrific!!!!

[Joanne98]

18. C-SPAN 1 has the Close up foundation on

Some stupid corperate whore bitch is defending the networks airing "Fear Factor" instead of the convention because there wasn't any NEWS happening. Her idea of news. A fist fight on the floor. They have no right to decide what news is. They're OUR airwaves. Can't they do anything in the name of public service.

[LittleApple81]

20. Exactly. But I think this fistfight is GOOD TO WATCH! we need to

have fighting arguments.

[MsUSA]

24. am i missing something??? this is on C-SPAN now???

What the h*ll is going on??? I thought C-SPAN was pure so to speak. No talking heads, no spin, no commentary. What gives??

[Pachamama]

26. The Repukes and Rove figured out people were switching to CSPAN

so now they are moving their media moles and whores over to CSPAN to convey their "message" and to further continue to shred and smear the democrats....

[LittleApple81]

27. It is a panel discussing media coverage of the Convention. n/t

Forum
Convention Press Coverage
Close Up Foundation
Boston, Massachusetts (United States)

Zuckman, Jill, Chief Correspondent, , Congress
Schieffer, Bob, Chief Correspondent, CBS, Washington Bureau

[Pachamama]

29. Now it is....earlier there was a press conference w/ Giuliani, and others

tearing apart the Democrats....it ended about 10 minutes ago...

[thebigidea]

28. "Martin Sieff" is such a prick. A moonie, of course.

Where do they find all these British twits? Do they have some Neocon/Tory Foreign Exchange Program?

He's snottily attacking the Dean scream. Ha ha ha.

Then again, he works for newsmax.

[LittleApple81]

31. Actually he has defended Dems: We are not wimps, we have depth

in young political figures, the scream was not what killed Dean but it was funny afterwards... I don't find him as objectionable as the Networks not fulfilling their duty. And I don't see a representative from the networks there if you notice.

[thebigidea]

32. considering he calls Dubya the Best Democratic President Ever...

[LittleApple81]

34. Is it because of the spending? See? Now we know how they undermine

democrats with very sly comments...Bush is a democrat because he spends....BUT WE DEMOCRATS ARE THE ONES THAT REDUCE THE DEFICIT when we are in power.

[AG78]

30. They've been doing it for decades

Why would they stop now? This is how they've gotten control. Do you think they would do anything else?

[LittleApple81]

33. NO. BUT I THINK WE HAVE GOTTEN TO THE POINT OF SATURATION.

AND WE ARE PISSED!!! AND WE NEED TO HAVE AS MUCH AMMUNITION TO BRING THESE CRIMINALS DOWN! WE HAVE TO USE THEIR ARGUMENTS TO ATTACK THEM LATER. I have always been offended by TV and after the elections it will be turned off forever (I didn't even have a TV for over 21 years, so for me it has been a SHOCK to see what shit it really is.. but I felt a moral obligation to KNOW so I can try to do something about it.)

[LittleApple81]

35. SEIFF: USE THE PHONES. Phone is the most effective protest tool

for the networks for protest. And they tend to be wimps.

[LittleApple81]

36. They are talking about the 87B vote. So So explanation. Because

Kerry wanted to use reversal of tax cuts to pay for this and Bush said he would VETO IT. Bush did not give a shit about soldiers. That is not the explanation given.
