CNN Now: Dana Mil bank on racism and media treatment at Palin rallies

[Doityourself]

Said it has taken a very ugly turn at republican rallies. Lots of anger and venom in audience for Obama and media. On Now!

[uponit7771]

1. Someone should warn them to turn the venom down a bit

[Doityourself]

3. somebody called a tv tech the "boy" word...verified by Milbank on CNN

[louis-t]

12. I heard he just called the guy "boy".

Let's not get overheated.

[Doityourself]

14. verified & corrected...in my eyes..and that of my father, brothers, cousins & friends...no diff...

[louis-t]

19. Yeah, not much of a difference. Accuracy will help us, though.

We should be proud that we don't have to make anything up, just repaeat the repugs' own words.

[Doityourself]

21. it was the wrong interpretation on my part...I assumed he meant the "N" word because they didn't say

what it was on CNN...had to verify it elsewhere. But yes, you are absolutely right.

[TankLV]

35. They said "boy" and "some other word we won't say on the air right now"...

so you betcha they used the word "nigger"...

bet on it...

[Doityourself]

39. That's why I assumed they said "nigger" that's how I interpreted it..but I didn't have an exact

quote, so I changed my headline...but thanks, I'm glad I'm not the only one that interpreted that way..

[roguevalley]

43. Someone asked Palin why no AF's in her admin. She said she

wasn't going to hire any. she is what she is, an out and about racist sow.

[dgibby]

44. Wonder how she feels about that black secret service agent

assigned to her?

[mikiturner]

2. Hope someone Youtubes it nt

[ShortnFiery]

4. Hey Dana, so NOW you don't like the "Nazi treatment" by the wannabe 4th Reich when aimed at YOU?

[ellacott]

5. Dana's trying to redeem himself

[zbdent]

32. more like, as Holly on "Red Dwarf" put it ...

"It's brown trousers time" ...

[ellacott]

37. lol, very true

:)

[BrklynLiberal]

13. Just one more thing that made "The Blues Brothers" one of the greatest movies ever made..

hmmm two of my favorite movies star John Belushi...This one and "Animal House"

[texasleo]

6. Rick Sanchez: It goes both ways--listen to a Palin heckler

Is he for real?

[ShortnFiery]

15. Oh and gutless Dana too ... "this is more charged because one of the candidates is

an African American." :eyes:

Hey Dana, you FAIL to mention that ALL "the threats of violence" have all been on the GOP's side because THEIR LEADERS are gutter fighters. :grr:

[Supersedeas]

33. Richie Rich Sanchez says see...they make fun of sweet Sarah Sanchez

[graywarrior]

7. He's praising Palin for her response to a heckler.

[Left Is Write]

16. Yeah. I turned it on just in time to see that.

[leftynyc]

31. What was her response? n/t

[iamthebandfanman]

8. well, F cnn... they just compared two different things

they just compared palin getting heckled by someone about the war to people yelling racist things at palin rallys..


how are those even remotely the same?

[redqueen]

18. Did they even mention the "Kill him!" incident?

[Doityourself]

25. Yes. Milbank saying he wasn't sure if was for Obama or Ayers...as if it makes a difference...

[redqueen]

34. I guess Dana condones violence.

Sad, but hardly surprising.

[TankLV]

36. No - millbank said he was SURE they meant "ayers" and not obama...his words...

nice how they "know the minds" of the idiots...and "they" "couldn't POSSIBLY be implying" the threat was to obama...

yeah - you betcha...

and I've got a bridge to sell ya...

and also notice in the soundtrack how ALL those in attendance were CHEERING when they said "kill him"...

[redqueen]

38. I'm sure Dana mentioned the fact that the audience erupted in applause for the bloodlust,

and went on to discuss how shocking and disturbing it is.

*sigh*

9. K&R to shine light on dangerous new Republican tactics

Republicans feel that the Ends Justify the Means.

Win at all costs.

[Lex]

10. It's just the deep red kool-aid drinkers wanking each other.

The independents and undecideds have moved on to Obama in large numbers.

[Doityourself]

20. But is definitely irresponsible...

[Lex]

22. yes

definitely

[knowledgeispwr]

11. Palin is dangerous

Whipping up racism and bigotry is irresponsible and despicable.

Maybe she'll slip up and let out one of the epithet's I'm sure she uses.

[BrklynLiberal]

17. No doubt she is the more dangerous of the two...McSame is out of it...

There have been articles saying that she is a racist and anti-semite.
I am finding it harder and harder to believe that she is not.

She is VERY dangerous...

[redstate_democrat]

26. If you're homophobic and xenophobic, chances are you're also racist and anti-semetic

[rvablue]

40. and a Republican. n/t

[BrklynLiberal]

42. Yep. That is what the repuke party has come to..

[rvablue]

41. What they are comparing is apples and oranges

I didn't see it on TV, but from what I am reading here, there is no comparison between these two instances they are trying to equate.

A man in the crowd said something racial and degrading to a TV crew member because the color of his skin. This is evidence of racism and bigotry among her supporters.

Palin got heckled. So what? So does every politician that speaks at rallies. Nobody is heckling her because she is woman -- they aren't saying "Get back in the kitchen" --they are heckling her because she is dumb, incompetent and scary.

[Lucky 13]

27. I'm waiting for it... and expecting it.

She and McCain and their entire train wreck of a campaign are completely undisciplined. They make off-the-cuff comments that contradict other lies, accidentally email internal campaign memos to reporters, and their strategy is at best questionable and at worst racist and stupid. They'll let something slip one day that 90% of this country will find unacceptable. Not sure if it will be the N-word or not, but it will be something similarly disgusting. And the VAST majority of American won't stand for it. And the ones that do wouldn't have voted for Obama anyway. It's another strategy to nowhere.

[PearliePoo2]

28. Dangerous she is!

The word is, she is indeed racist. Reportedly, she referred to Obama as "Sambo" and the First Nation people in Alaska as "Arctic Arabs".
Nice, real nice for a Governor.
I hope Alaskans dump her bigoted ass when she returns with her defeated tail between her legs.

[eleny]

23. I wouldn't be surprised if they were planted to whip up the crowds

This feels like Atwater/Rove/Schmidt evolving to appeal to the most dangerous common denominator.

[Bake]

24. They'd better get used to saying "PRESIDENT OBAMA!"

That's what I told my Repuke pals at work yesterday. It was fun watching their heads explode.

Bake

[ramapo]

29. I hope the Secret Service is paying attention

So much for the "honorable" Sen. McCain.

[always_saturday]

30. Dana Milbank is an ass

He doesn't give a shit about any threats to Obama, he's just whining that McBush's campaign isn't kissing the press's ass the way the press has always kiss McBush's ass.
