Is Craig Crawford just another Hillary supporter?

[itsrobert]

Every time I watch him on MSNBC he's usually full out for Hillary. I can only surmise he is part of the Hillary Campaign. But there are no disclaimers about that when he's trashing Obama, Edwards, and Biden while giving Hillary a pass. Does anyone know if he's connected to the Hillary campaign in anyway?

[Colobo]

1. I think so. He's an a*****e, anyway.

[itsrobert]

3. He does nothing but shrill for Hillary

Hard to believe he's not on her payroll. Maybe General Electric is trying to push Hillary on us because she's good for defense contractors?

[Grandrose]

7. Absolutely....

He is one obnoxious and nasty piece of work!:mad:

[Evergreen Emerald]

2. I saw him after the debate full on trashing with Tweety

[Catherine Vincent]

4. And if he was, so what? n/t

[itsrobert]

5. Nothing, but there should be full disclosure

Or are you against that?

[Karmadillo]

17. Maybe Chris Matthews & Tim Russert could set an example by confessing

their hatred for Hillary.

[jenmito]

6. Yes. Tweety mentioned it yesterday on his show in response to Craig saying something

negative about Obama after Matthews showed video of Obama workin' the crowd/audience. He accused Obama of having a fake accent.

9. That "fake accent" comment floored me.

Midwestern, Wellesley-educated Sen. Clinton delivering lyrics with a Southern drawl seems sort of fake to me.

Obama talking to fellow African-Americans in cadences familiar to them and him sounded natural.

Seemed like he was talking to his "homies".

It would be more like Hillary reverting to a really strong "flat A" when speaking in the midwest.

[Karmadillo]

10. Was it a fake accent or was it his regular accent?

[jenmito]

14. Obama's accent was and is real. n/t

[Karmadillo]

16. But in your post below you say he has multiple real accents. Are you sure?

nt

[jenmito]

13. Same here...

It floored Matthews, to, because he pointed out the same thing, saying he, a Clinton fan, had no room to talk about someone having a fake accent. That was ONE of the times he made it clear that Crawford was a Hillary supporter.

Yes, Obama is used to talking that way in that setting. It's natural for him.

[Karmadillo]

15. It's natural for him to change his accent based on his audience?

nt

[ellacott]

18. There was a thread about this not long ago

Yes, it is natural.

[itsrobert]

19. I'm from California, but when I'm around different groups

I start mimicking (for lack of a better word) them. I sometimes get ask if I'm from the South, because of the accent. I also spent time in England and started speaking like I grew up there after awhile.

[jenmito]

25. I remember that thread. And yes, it's natural. My mother was born in London

and spoke "the Queen's English." She came to the U.S. when she was 12 and eventually lost her accent, but when she talked to her mother who still has a heavy English accent, she starts getting her accent back.

[jenmito]

23. Yes. Do you think preachers always talk the same way when they're not preaching?

It's natural for people who are used to talking in front of different audiences to adapt the accent or cadence to that situation. As long as he's always done that, it's natural for him. Unlike people who change things based on negative feedback, he keeps doing it because it's real.

[ClarkUSA]

8. Yes.

Chris Matthews said so a few times during Friday's roundtable broadcast and Crawford didn't deny it.

Not that there is anything wrong with being a Hillary supporter, of course, but there should be a
semblance of critical balance among the MSM supporters of any candidate.

[ellacott]

11. I noticed that and was a little surprised

He has been fairly objective until now. I remember him saying that he doesn't vote so he can remain objective. It looks like he may have changed his mind on that.

[durrrty libby]

12. Crawford is great. I usually enjoy listening to him

Down to earth, insightful and is adorable when talking about his parents.

He used to show pictures of them and talk about his mom trying to stop
Wallyworld from moving in her Orlando neighborhood.

20. Link to his blog

He seems like a good guy. Worked for Carter and Mondale, ran for office as a Democrat, not a fake Democrat like Margaret Carlson etc., so I guess he's prime fodder for a DU attack

[jenmito]

22. I like him. But he should disclose that he's a Hillary supporter.

That's my only beef with him.

[Catherine Vincent]

26. I like him too.

Although I was disappointed in the way he was defending Imus on Olbermann. I couldn't believe it. I decided to disagree with him on that. That's what you have to do in this situation.

[jenmito]

27. Yeah,

I guess nobody agrees with anybody 100% of the time.

[durrrty libby]

28. Yep,,say something positive about Hillary and the goons devour

[supernova]

21. Lay off Craig, it's Dana Millbank I can't stand

Repuke apologist. :puke:

[Cameron27]

24. Dana Millbank, blech.
