No wonder CNN ratings are so dismal. Bring Spitzer back!

The Tea Party gift that keeps on giving!

Thanks for the Delaware Senate seat, Teabags!

Piers Morgan is a Liberal schmuck!

Fact: Morgan can’t even tell what’s in the book until he buys one and read it. She didn’t write some pro Gay book that simple!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Lemme guess: probably not going to promote the book on The Daily Show the

GOOD LUCK WITH SALES WITCH!!!

My off camera handler is always dragging me to and fro.

This only helps Morgan’s ratings. Not her book sales. 

Sometimes some things just never change and that would certainly be the case with dear sweet Christine – once a moron always a moron. 

O’Donnell is the quittin’ image of Sarah Palin.

You’re just bitter that Christine O’Donnell can’t handle an interview that’s not on Fox News.

He will gain five more viewers. Woot woot!

In my opinion, Wimps walk out of interviews. 

Morgan has been a snitty little twit lately. Being in the closet obviously does not agree with him.

She wants to promote ideas that she wants to promote. Don’t ask her questions in an interview that she doesn’t like! She is the schmuck!

She came on to sell books. Got it??

haha yeah cus CNN doesn’t ask soft ball questions to republicans or democrats
it’s in her BOOK, but she doesn’t wanna talk about it LOLL

GOOD JOB PIERS

Fact: stupid people like you shoudn’t have an opinion

Piers Morgan is a toad .. we know this.. but why would you baggers defend her ? seriously i don’t get it.. say she’s a nit wit and move on. ..

She just sold another 10000 copies. That may have been the strategy, who would have bought the book? Morgan is a rude asshole that wants ratings, she wants publicity, they’re a perfect match.

That’s it? That’s your contribution to the discussion? Better go back cover to FOX News.

Two individuals that if you added up their importance to society equals zero. 

these people are so used to FOX News she actually says you should ask questions about only what she wants to talk about LOL

The Amygdala Strain: Christine O’Donnell as Psychological Pandemic

With the ascendency of a barefaced buffoon to the apex of right-wing
politics some began to suspect that conservatism was not just a political disposition. 
And as George W. Bush’s corporate-Jesus coalition evolved into a throng
that could call Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann and Christine O’Donnell its own, Republicanism completed its transition from political ideology into psychological disorder …

Why do these people go on these shows ? No body’s watching

There’s nothing ‘charming & respectful’ about ANY Lib Media Hack today; they are ALL cauldrons of boiling range and anger at the collapse of their beloved Liberalism and the driver who put it into the ditch: OBAMO.

There is no masking how livid they are at NO ‘perpetual Democratic majorities going forward’ and how EVERYONE is bludgeoning Their Boy.

Thank God her handler was there to keep her from answering those difficult questions.  Stick to Fox News honey.

You mean like when wolfie “interviewed” obama, yesterday? come up with another stupid name, cakes

She’s getting free advertisement, right now! ROFLMBAO!

Who is Pers Morgan ?  Is he related to Captain Morgan ?

Speaking of fros, I wonder if Christine has brushed up on her personal grooming habits…

>b>AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Might I add that this is one of the many faces/ anointed ones of the bagger hobbit movement.. unbelievable..  as a liberal I honestly think msbnc and most of the trolls they run out on the network are bad for liberalism.. i can admit it..but i almost admire you conservatives steadfastness and willingness to defend to the end bat shit crazies like odonnell.. i think you all are crazy for it but a small part of wishes liberals never backed down like that..but another part of me realizes thats what seperates me from you..I don’t defend crazy..i just cant.. having said that.. look at your choices and look who your defending ..unbelievable kdvjkdsfjv kodfnojk !!

you mean like questions that have nothing to do with her book? Those questions?

O’Donnell (paraphrased): I only want to talk about the issues in my book. Yes, I address it in the book, but I only want to talk about the things which I choose to discuss and you’re being rude for asking me other questions about stuff that’s in my book.

She dodged both Fox News Sunday and The O’Reilly Factor during her campaign.  So, it depends on the FNC venue.  That’s what draws me away from her: she can’t handle tough questions.  I have the same problem with Sarah Palin.  She hasn’t been on The Factor since March.  Bill had the nerve to interrupt her canned speech disguised as answers.
Those aren’t attacks on them; just pet peeves of mine.
Considering there’s a troll that hounds me whenever I comment outside of Johnny Dollar’s Place and Olbermann Watch, I think I know the response I’ll get.

Piers Morgan is one of the worst hosts I’ve seen. At least Olbermann avoided members from the opposite side of the aisle.

I think she was wrong too. However, I’ve always thought Piers was bad.

Actually he asked the question about umpteen times each time ignoring her declining to talk about the issue.  She’s selling a book, she can talk about, or not talk about anything she wants.  He’s a jerk, same vane as Martin Bashir.

Actually, it would be the opposite way. That’s the beauty of the word. :)

Better go back cover to Fox News.

What the heck does that even mean? Please talk in sentences that the rest of society can translate.

FASCIST!

How do you know? Did you read the book? Was the topic of gay marriage never addressed in her book?

If she can’t answer easy softball questions like that she has no business even thinking about being a senator.  I guess Rove was right about her.  

Oh, I suppose you think the government should just Gas people You think are stupid?

Please tell me what Palin quit? Do tell.

I know that she resigned her Governorship, but if you would like to go into detail about that, it would be great because it’s far too easy to argue that point.

In my opinion, you don’t capitalize the word wimp in your sentence.

Piers does NOTHING to gain viewers on CNN; he is a failure…in fact:

epic fail.

Good for her; more conservatives need to do this,. let the liberal idiots in the media know that we are no longer gonna play their stupid/silly games.

What store do we work at?

Bless your heart.

Have you read the book? Is it really in her book? What page? I don’t plan on buying the book, but I could always skim to that page. Or I could continue thinking that Piers is just a bad host. Or I could do both.

Decisions, decisions.

WCinWI has his head up his own a$$.

Well, this won’t hurt her; she was on Morgan’s show which no one watches.

WCinWI

Are you a coward with no balls?

or

Do you mean nothing of what you talk about?

She did imply it was in the book, so I think somebody needs to find out the answer.

Piers, she is not running for office. What does it matter what she thinks about gay marriage? I sure she shares the same view that Obama, Biden and Clinton have on this issue!

Ah, you mean Obama won in 2008? Then why is he blaming everyone else for the sorry state of this country?

To show what a phoney this limey left wing piece of $hit is I ask the following.  Piers, I Believe Howard Stern was one of your first guest. Howard has said some controversial statements over the years.    I don’t recall you, Piers, asking Howard, . . . .

Why did you think it was funny to do a skit in black face.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RiHfEtOy6A

Or, Howard, whyd did you think was funney for Billy West to do a Marge Schott impersonations where he/she talked about the “Niggers and Kikes”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QiqMdu2AZZ8

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6v_6m-Bq-Q&feature=related

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6v_6m-Bq-Q&feature=related

Or, Howard, why did you, when playing the Bijou theatre message, go into ad ad lib routine and talk about a new movie comming out called “Fags, fags, fags . . . ”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qJbSmrLCGk

Just wondering Piers . . . . .

If you can’t take the heat don’t go into the green room.

You acted like a putz, Christine.

So she’s famous for running for office, but offended by questions about her political beliefs. Uhh, what WERE you expecting us to talk to you about?

Please spell out words instead of acting like a child.

Also, I’m not a male. :)

Such odd questions.

Karl Rove thinks it is “offensive” to refer to the United States as a Christian nation. I agree with him.

Why? I don’t care about her book. :) Since you care about her book, please tell me the page number. Thanks!

Not “everyone” is.

http://online.wsj.com/video/roubini-bush-responsible-for-economic-woes/38310E7D-6753-4591-B5CF-55D6728547A1.html

You would think she would know what’s in her book.  It may be time to do another book review.  

Thank you for walking Christine; that’s several minutes less that you will be captured on video for the world to see how much of an idiot you are.

The witch flys away on her broomstick from the uber left wing journalist Piers Morgan.She is a absolute trainwreck.Someone please tell her to pay her bills.from the book proceeds.I know personal responsibility is a Tea party value.So pay your bills and keep your sticky fingers out of your next campaigns bank account.By the way thanks for  the senate seat.You were the only person in the country the democrats could beat..

Good Job Girl!

butt boys are failures

Four people watch Piers Morgan, two of them are his family.

I dont understand why Christine or any other conservative women would go on the Obama minions channels. Do you see Obama going on Hannity?

Good point.

You look at sexy Christine and it makes you wonder: WHAT do gays and lesbians find attractive about the same sex anyway?

I wonder if she would just walk off the Senate floor if asked a question she didn’t like?

She wanted an advertisement for her book. Not “questions”!!

Yeah and why didn’t ask every question you wish he had asked to everyone on earth, huh??? Why is he not doing these things??

http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/
Viewers at 8:PM CST last night:Piers Morgan: 144,000Rachel Maddow: 210,000Sean Hannity: 541,000

Doesn’t Piers know that asking conservatives anything they don’t want to talk about is a GOTCHA QUESTION??

Christine, if you can’t take the heat, be interviewed by Fox News.

http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/
Viewers at 8:PM CST last night……..Piers Morgan 144,000…………….Rachel Maddow 210,000………..Sean Hannity 541,000

Obama is the failing image of Carter!

Hannity’s a hack. So what’s your point? 

I don’t like Pierce Morgan as an interviewer, but that was just ridiculous. But hey, I got some laughs, so that’s good.

I love the part where she said she’s promoting policies which are “mostly constitutional.” LOL.

Damn right!
Future, current and former politicians should not have to discuss their political views on important cultural issues or be asked to account for their political positions. They should only go on networks that ask softball questions. Tough questioning of a politician in UN-AMERICAN!

I’m sure that she didn’t even write the book herself. By the way learn to speak English Mr Fax…..he buys one and read it…..nice

Oh good…..Christine O’Donnell. On Piers Morgan. I think this might be the most pointless moment in the history of this website.

We all agree. She should do her book interview with Hannity.

what a stupid thing to say.  She’s not in the Senate – she was on a loons show who practices tabloid style interviews.  As a private citizen, she doesn’t have to say squat – since he persisted and called her weird and thought he was charming, good for her.

WCinWI can’t read modern slang

I guess WCinWi s 600 years old.

Now that’s funny right there.

Have you read the rest of this website?

Paranoid much?

In my opinion, WCinWI is a coward for ducking questions.

People may not like Pierce, but O’Donnell walking off is ridiculous.

Perhaps.  That troll is obsessed much.  He knows who he is.

She also quit the Tour Across America.

She cancels speeches with wild abandon.

She resigned from the Alaska energy commission early.

She stopped being a parent once Brisket was old enough to babysit.

Using your “reasoning,” lesbians would find Christine O’Donnell attractive.

You’d also drown in an empty wading pool too.

L’Idiot! Read the book.

Jeff is illiterate. His pet goat word processes for him.

I never cared much for Morgan, but my opinion of him just got a huge boost. He asked a perfectly reasonable question in light of her writings and her extremely right wing fundamentalist perspective. Why the hell should she cop an attitude? All she had to do was say that she didn’t agree with gay marriage and move on. What the f–k is so hard about that?Conservatives like to talk tough, but they sure do act like scared little girls when it serves their purposes.

Piers Morgan has 1/5th the viewers of Sean Hannity.  Piers Morgan is politically to the left of Fidel Castro.

Reading the comments here it doesn’t seem to have occurred to a lot of you it’s quite possible that neither person acquitted themselves well in this here exchange.

Though we don’t see what transpired beforehand, from O’Donnell’s frustration we can tell Morgan is obviously conducting an aggressive interview fishing for controversy (and viral mediaite & youtube material) with gotchas.  He needs too, if ratings don’t lie.  So it’s not unexpected for someone in his line or work – he’s looking to make bones and boost his image – nor is it even necessarily out of line, but as some have observed hard questioning isn’t something he cares to apply, by all appearances, equally.

O’Donnell, on the other hand, is experience enough to know lines of questioning like these were bound to come up and have in store a number of pat answers to get past such questions.  Something that lightly touches upon the subject and is – oh, I don’t know – somewhat suggestive of what more is in that book of hers?  Now, if she doesn’t have much of anything to say in her book on gay marriage, her point was fair.  If she does, what we’re watching here is pity porn for her core audience – or another case of her allowing a handler to stomp up and down all over her reputation.

I assume that meant she should go back for cover to Fox News.  But as I said earlier, it depends on the show.  I’ve only seen her lately on Hannity and On the Record.

Guess she didn’t care for his ”Have you ever masturbated with the head of a gay warlock?” question.

“Howard, whyd did you think was funney for Billy West to do a Marge Schott impersonations where he/she talked about the ‘Niggers and Kikes.’”

Because Marge Schott was an anti-semite and racist.

What does it matter what she thinks about anything?  She is an unemployed Teabagger who, unfortunately, will never run for office again.

At least he didn’t ask her what she reads.

That shouldn’t happen, but you shouldn’t worry about. You’re just giving him, her or it an opportunity to prove what a jerk he, she or it is. That’sthe wonderul thing about our tradition of free speech. We can give wach and every man the opportunity to hang himself.

No, nor Harry Morgan, Joe Morgan, Nyjer Morgan, Lorrie Morgan, Morgan Ensberg, etc.

Wow you should write her autobiography! I wish you where this informed about Obama’s pass cocaine habit, about his taking our economy into the toilet, about his constant blame of his shortcomings to bush, the tea party, congress, and everybody else and their mother. About taking unemployment from 5.6 to 9.2. About how his big black bus won’t even go into black communities. About unemployment among blacks is higher under him then bush. About his 14 trillion and still counting debt, About his long vacations on tax payers money, about his 78 and counting, golf games, about going into Lybia without a plan, about lying to Hispanics about immigration. About him being the first president to downgrade our credit standing. About dividing this nation like no other president. Wow, he does sound like a winner doesn’t he? But yes let’s take the spotlight off of him! Emperor without clothes!

To Conservatives, asking “what time is it” is a gotcha question.

Who the hell cares about either one of them? I just wasted 45 seconds of my life I will never get back.

LOL!
We know this happened. I even used a Murdoch source! I do not know if he was a warlock.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1324641/Drunk-Christine-ODonnell-night-stand-25-year-old-man-Halloween.html

Did the president refuse to answer and walk off?

A one minute commercial before you see the video? give me a break.

She quit the interview halfway through?

No wonder Sarah Palin endorsed her.

Wow Christine O’Donnell sure is a wimp.

She would.
Dressed like a witch.

Spitzer didn’t ask softball questions. It was actually a decent show once they dumped Kathleen Parker. Morgan is unwatchable drivel.

You suck at this. I’m just sayin’.

 Piers Morgan can tap her phone and find out where she stands on the gay marriage. Piers should go back to Britanstan so a drunk welfare baby can throw a brick at his head.

What’s the 18-54 demo that Hannity get’s nightly?

Spitzer was great but he came on at the 8pm slot.

“About taking unemployment from 5.6 to 9.2″

5.6? Do you have proof? You just pulled than number out of your derriere.
Show me links!

BTW, how about George W’s major dalliance with blow?

Morgan asked. “Do you talk about it in the book?”. 
She replied, “I talk about my religious beliefs, so yeah, I do”.
Morgan: “Do you talk about gay marriage in the book?”
O’Donnell: “What relevance does that have?”

Throughout the rest of the interview, several times he says that he’s asking about things from the book and at one point he looks down as if it’s sitting on his desk. She never disputes that anything he asked is in the book.  She just wants to to talk about her chosen topics.

You’re honestly reposting that piece of garbage BS hit piece here as if it had any validity?

I’d like to say it was beneath even you.  But I won’t.  And yes, I say “even you” now, after that.

Piers Morgan is a bit of a stick (quite like Larry King in that way), but O’Donnell is just a flat-out fool. I guess she feels a need to go on TV periodically to refresh her dumb-cluck credentials, so we’ll be good for another 18 months or so.

OMG  What a dufus……….She wants to promote her book but doesn’t want to talk about what she wrote in it…..they don’t get much dummer than her.

Not to worry. Sean is waiting for her with open arms. You know he’ll really ask her tough stuff.

I thought all you Conservatives (Paleo included) love the Murdoch/Weyland-Yutani Coorperation?

So what? It could be basic cable and she’d still have a responsibility to answer a straightforward question. O’Donnell’s a fool and something of a jerk and has proved it once again.

Funny, the same is true of you.

“Piers Morgan is one of the worst hosts I’ve seen.”

Never seen numerous host on Fox News, ugh?

Lol. I didnt realize “Tabloid-style Interviews” involved asking reasonable questions. All she had to say was her opinion. Guess she didn’t have her handlers there to feed her the “correct” responses.

The mental image of that is just so clear in my mind.

Ah, but she *wanted* to be in the Senate. I think the people of Delaware clearly dodged a bullet there.

that’s true

we didn’t know this was an English course?  oops We

This interview brings back memories of a radio interview she did:

http://www.mediaite.com/online/christine-odonnell-snaps-fingers-and-summons-spokesperson-during-heated-radio-debate/

your baggers are really gaining in popularity aren’t they?http://www.nytimes.com/2011/08/17/opinion/crashing-the-tea-party.html

Let’s see . . . Morgan didn’t ask the questions you would have asked so that makes him a phony?

Actually, no, that makes you a jerk. Get your own show and invite Stearn if you want to ask him those questions.

This may come as a shock to you, but there’s no requirement for national television shows to vet their material with you. And so they don’t. Get over it.

Why would Obama walk off when Wolf was in the middle of a verbal bj.  Not a single hard question that I saw, just batting eyes, kissing ass, and sighing to big sigh.  Waste of time.  not an interview, and invitation to hehimself to let CNN carry his water again.

Piers Morgan is an amazingly gifted man.  Do you think it’s easy to make Larry King look like a consummate professional?  That takes talent, friends.

You would assume that someone is dumb enough to buy Witchy Woman’s book? I thought Morgan’s show was about current events and those involved in current events. Christine wasn’t relevant when she was running for office….why have her on now. 

^  +1 B_F_D.

Best. Comment. Today.

There is a serious lack of intelligence between you two. You misunderstand that we are “frustrated” with Christine O’Donnell.. we laugh at her, we make fun of her and attack her because she is not a good leader whatsoever… but then you guys all defend? For what? Does she do a good job? Is she dependable? Nah… so why? She’s pretty? 

I really can’t figure it out but I’m sure the answer will be some generalizations about how she cares about freedom, entitlements, and taxes.

What do ratings have to do with quality and integrity? “American Idol” is a number one show and it’s absolute dreck. Hannity has more viewers, but he’s also a complete tool of the GOP.  

Grow up!

Here’s Tina everyone, with typical TeaBagger whining about someone being decent to Obama. Get a clue Tina, most people aren’t like you in America, most people respect the president, they aren’t anarchists like the Tea Party. 

O’Donnell wasn’t on CNN to talk about policy, politics or anything else important…she was on teevee to sell her book. Shame on the host for bringing up issues she wrote about. 

Is that true? I haven’t read that. 

Actually, this hurts everyone associated with the wingnutariat, because here’s yet another one of their self-declared stars making an ass of herself on TV. Again.
 
The fact that Morgan’s show has low ratings is irrelevant — this video has already gone viral. So the whiny, self-absorbed, smarmy, and clueless image of the Tea Party generally gets another boost. This on the same day that noted TP favorite Hermann Cain is popping off about impeachment for the crime of disagreeing with him, and Rick “Secession” Perry is spinning up his campaign.
 
What’s America to say but, “I don’t want these nutcases running my country, thank you very much.”

And I thought people who frequent media sites and portray themselves as the least bit intelligent understood that a meta-story which took the media by storm wasn’t lent or denied credibility by what media organizations redistributed it but by the person who generated it in the first place.

But by posts that routinely pass for “insight” around here, especially from those of the left, it seems I’m destined to be proved wrong in that, too, again and again.

Hey Christine-

If you want a commercial for your book, just buy a 30-sec slot of air time and run a commercial.

Going in CNN is an interview…not a commercial.

Like Sharron Angle and Sarah Palin, Christine doesn’t seem to get that the media doesn’t exist to only talk about what she wants them to talk about.

“In my opinion, you don’t capitalize the word wimp in your sentence.”

Is this the best level of debate mediaite can muster? I sure hope not. Oh watch out, I forgot to use a semi-colon earlier, I guess that invalidates my argument. lol. The level of debate with the Tea Baggers is a little distressing to say the least… Christine O’Donnell is a great example of this.

I think most Tea Baggers would walk out of the interview if they ever heard anything displeasurable. They aren’t smart enough to handle people disagreeing them to their face, even if there are facts. They are like animals and political debate isn’t a form of solving problems but a form of posturing. Look on these forums to see yourself, in this thread, they defend Christine O’Donnell as if they are defending their own manhood, it’s absolutely bizarre.

These people are intellectual lightweights, and their ideas are not to be taken seriously. They are to be taken seriously as a stupid cult/mob because you have to take threats seriously… but their ideas are like that of children.

The reason Christine left is because she felt “threatened” AKA “not in control”, why did she feel threatened? Her ideas were challenged. That’s pretty damning. It’s like if WCinWI decicided to never come back to this forum because someone disagreed with him.

Now answer me this, if YOU were on CNN, do you think you would have handled yourself better?

Never watch ConstantNauseatingNonsense; never will. Prissy punks like Piers is the reason why.

He didn’t “ignore” anything. He simply wasn’t going to let her get away with not answering the question. And no, she doesn’t just get to use his show as some sort of shopping channel for her book.

Grownups appearing on such a show realize that the host gets to ask pretty much any relevant question, and the guest gets to answer it in the way that best meets his/her objectives. O’Donnell, who is incompetent in so many ways, was not able to do that and so she bailed out of the interview.

This was typical O’Donnell behavior and notable only in how much it magnified her image as an unserious and erratic person who really needs to stay out of the public eye.

Possibly the ghostwriter didn’t tell her what’s actually in there?

Marcus Bachmann is a big guy, he’s taken up most of the closet space.

Do your homework. You guys sure regurgitate statements as they’re fed to you. Since when do you guys validate statements made by the media Go back to 2008 when he came into office. Then come back and eat crow! Plus as for bush, the media went after him like a dog with a bone. Had Obama been vetted like all republicans are, he wouldn’t be sitting in the White house today.

What the heck?  The people who used to champion a democratic boycott of FNC (and even Moran and company walking out on an interview) are now dissing Christine?

So what else is new, boys?!

Answer my question concerning your bogus unemployment rate!
Prove it!

The pattern is pretty obvious. If she isn’t allowed to trot out her talking points, unchallenged, she can’t handle an interview. She’s not qualified to be a politician nor a thought leader.

It’s far from clear whether she’s qualified to do anything.

Bingo. I can’t improve on anything you said. 

Too late! He’s headed to Current.

Not even.  Piers couldn’t spice up water, let alone egg nog.

Yeah, because you would be wrong in fact. Which organization picks up and runs with a story does reflect on a story’s credibility. Some media outlets are professional and are supposed to vet material that comes in the door, and some aren’t and publish whatever appeals to them for whatever reason. Thinking otherwise is quite naïve.

Correction unemployment for 2008 was 5.8. and bush was being browbeaten by the media because they considered that very high. Now that Obama has it a 9.1 where is the media berating him? I guess you don’t see the hypocrisy? And that’s where the problem is. You’re not honest enough to admit that the media is and has given him a major pass. And in fact they sold him to you guys and you guys fell for it hook, line and sinker! However beware because if they can get you to fall for the biggest scam put forth on the united states, they can get you to believe anything. And that’s where the real problem lies. Not Obama, Obama will leave someday but the media will continue munipulating and orchestrating what they want you to believe in.

It’s hard hitting journalistic hosts like this that keeps CNN the 3rd (sometimes 4th) placed cable news network

That was funny.
It is hard to feel sorry for Piers. He is not my favorite. I have seen much worse.

Usually a guest can say no comment once, twice at the most and the interviewer moves on, but he persisted and deserved to be walked out on.

I watched this.  Yes, Mr Morgan is not a great interviewer.  But there were two gems missed.          1..     She said that she came on the program to talk about what she wanted to talk about– yes, most interviews are just PR jobs, in this case so that she could promote her book.  So he kept asking her to talk about things that were in her book.  She was there to sell books, so she should have been happy to talk about her book.    My view– CNN needs to look for someone better (but let’s face it, Larry King was sweet and affable, but not really smart).  AND  Ms O’Donnell may want to play with the adults and sell books with the adults, but she needs to act like an adult to do that  You are on a PR tour.  You need to play along since you are not a Pulitzer-winning author.            2.           He asked her about her abstinence pledge which she was so keen on years before.  But she did not want to address it.  Hmm.      I say get rid of her from the national stage today.  Does anyone really care what she thinks?  And CNN should do a thorough search to replace him.

If it’s in the book, what exactly did he do wrong?
Do we really want politicians or people with PACs with their names (http://www.christinepac.com) to only be asked questions they’re comfortable with?

Hahahaha!  Another tea party creep embarrasses herself on national TV.

It was a “I know how you feel about gay marriage and I’m going to fry you” question.
It’s gotten to the point where people are not allowed to feel how they feel about gay marriage without being branded as gay hating, homophobic blah blah.

Well, I don’t agree with gay marriage – I think marriage is a sacred ceremony between a man and a woman, as per the bible.  I love gays, have lots of gay friends who feel exactly like I do, and a couple who don’t and we agree to disagree.  I believe gays should have exactly the same “legal” rights in a civil union as straights.  I just don’t agree with diminishing the sanctity of marriage.  Before you point out all the freaking idiots in the world who diminish it daily with their idiotic behaviour – I’m well aware.  So freaking sue me.  

Obama felt the same until it wasn’t “politically correct” to and then he sort of glossed over his ambivalence.  

I think my stance is a lot more honest than the President’s who didn’t agree and then he sort of agreed and who the hell knows how he feels at the moment.  Wouldn’t you rather have someone who’s honest, even if you don’t agree with them than someone who says what you want them to say and really isn’t true to his convictions but to the ballot box?

No they wouldn’t.  Lesbians are not attracted to straight women.  Ask Darla.  
 
Now gay men, make wonderful friends for straight women.  

Yeah, because you would be wrong in fact. Which organization picks up and runs with a story does reflect on a story’s credibility. Some media outlets are professional and are supposed to vet material that comes in the door, and some aren’t and publish whatever appeals to them for whatever reason. Thinking otherwise is quite naïve.

Again, in regards to a media meta-story that received wide distribution (for it was a highly charged allegation in a highly visible contest), taking the internet by storm and finding play in virtually every newspaper and hard news show of record, you write as if you have some special insight that’s applicable – and couldn’t be more wrong.   But it’s cute that you think you’re scoring points and think to get away with calling me naive on this point when in fact you’re dropping your pants.

the guy has morphed into a far far out there loon.  Don’t know what happened but it must have been major.  Maybe his check didn’t arrive on time.  

you stated “self-declared” and you were right.  She isn’t a star of republicans, never was, never will be.

You don’t seem to understand – people run for office all the time, doesn’t matter if they are left or right, you don’t have to embrace them all.  Some you like – some you don’t give a crap about, even if they are on your side.  The world doesn’t come to an end if you’re honest.

How many of you can honestly say that you “like” Barney Frank?  That you think Barney is an honest politician?  Nobody can with a straight face, and yet the sleaze was re-elected and I’m sure you guys were saying “what the hell” (under your breaths)

Because Marge Schott was an anti-semite and racist.

And Stern is a racist.  Why else would you do black face . . . .  3 times.

you can quit worrying about her now.  In fact, I’m so over this non story that I’m off to play angry birds – the update for the mac came out this week!  Try it – eases your pain.

What a worthless piece of dung she is.

the guy has morphed into a far far out there loon.  Don’t know what happened but it must have been major.  Maybe his check didn’t arrive on time.

But usually a person’s views morph into conservatism the longer they’re at it and the more they wise up.  Once a loon always a loon, maybe?

Just as with most lefties who sense they’re in an echo chamber, inner selves are coming to the fore.  It’s just more glaringly obvious and entertaining in a schadenfreude kind of way in regards to Nature Freak what with his earlier hypocritical pontifications leveled at the right on the level of our discourse.

Not that conservatives are invulnerable to sounding off in their own echo chamber, but since we’re fewer in number here our arguments are more often on point.  That’s why I much prefer the earlier system of a linear debate.  Though we were outnumbered, we could dominate the conversation with facts and logic.  Now it’s open season for the gutter snipes to sink as low as is their heart’s desire finding safety in numbers.

Sounds like you’re the one worrying about it.  Have fun with some angry birds.  

Go to ” yahoo search ” what was the unemployment rate in 2008″. It will come up 5.8 average. Wow do you guys even know how to research? Again, I wish you would question the media with their facts like you’re questioning me. However, you like what the media is feeding you (ie Obama is brilliant, and we all know how that turned out) Try researching their facts.

“No comment” on exactly what she was peddling — her book?

After the first “no comment” he would have been within his rights to cut her mike and chase her out of the studio.

The average unemployment rate for 2008 was 5.8 percent. In 2009 the average annual rate shot up to 9.3, topping out at 10.1 percent in October. In 2010, the unemployment rate has hovered around 9.7 percent, dropping to 9.5 percent in June and July. Obama and others have touted the stimulus as preventing a depression. Republicans, however, characterize it as wasteful, inefficient, and ineffective government spending at a time when the national debt continues to soar.

Above are facts from an article.

Oh Karnak the Magnificent! Could you please provide us with the transcript of the show that would have taken place had O’Donnell answered Morgan’s question? Just so we can see *how* he was going to fry her? Your unearthly knowledge of alternate worlds would be most welcome here.

And I’m sorry to be obvious, but yes, those who would deny equal rights to their fellow citizens on religious grounds are probably going to be called bigots and homophobes. It’s a natural outcome of being a bigot and a homophobe.

Maybe she’s grown tired of paying the consequences of her hatred, but O’Donnell is still a coward and a weakling for not being able to defend the horrible things she’s said over and over. She has justly earned all the contempt that comes her way.

I’m happy for you that “some of your best friends are gay,” but the notion that most of your gay friends agree that they should be denied the right to marry is a tad hard to believe. The fact remains that civil unions as they’re constituted today are inconsistent from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and almost always fall short of the legal benefits of marriage.

I suppose that we could somehow agitate in every jurisdiction in America to drive creation of civil union legislation that would be genuinely equal to marriage, although that might take a hundred years. But I have a better idea: since we’re talking about two consenting adults, why not just extend the rights of marriage to them? Conveniently, all of the law you’d ever need for such relationships is already in place. Voila! Problem solved.

With regard to the sacrament part, I don’t think anyone is particularly bothered about what makes you uncomfortable so long as you don’t try to deny the benefits of marriage to others who legitimately desire it. No church would have to marry anyone they didn’t want to (although they might find their membership dropping when they’re called out as bigots), and individual couples would remain free to seek out whatever ceremonies they feel most appropriately express their commitment to each other.

Same-sex marriage is no threat to different-sex marriage. It just tends to rub bigots and homophobes the wrong way. Too bad. Get over it. History is not on your side.

O’Donnell, Republican candidate for senate, supported by the Republican establishment, funded by the Republican establishment, rubbing shoulders with the Republican establishment . . .  was nevertheless “not a star.”

Well, whatever. I don’t doubt for a moment that sensible people within the Republican Party (those who haven’t been driven out by the zealots) held their nose throughout the campaign and struggled with whether they actually wanted O’Donnell to win, given that they’d then have to put up with her. That would be completely understandable.

But you don’t get to rewrite history. O’Donnell is yours. You get to sweep up her messes until she eventually fades from the scene.

With regard to Barney Frank, I do think he’s reasonably honest. I don’t always agree with him, and he’s made plenty of mistakes, and he’s probably been in Congress too long — but that’s our system, which rewards seniority and drives behaviors that make people hang onto office for dear life. Whether I ‘like” him or not is completely irrelevant, although I do think he’d be pretty cool to talk to at a party.

History is on my side – today’s political climate might not be.  
You’re entitled to your opinion as I am to mine.

p.s. I’m sure you will find many gays – just like my friends who feel as I do – hell, I’ve even seen many on t.v. say the same thing I said.  I guess they’re bigots too.

A whackjob promoting her book does not want to answer on the issue she discussed in that very same book!

Very stupid woman

Boycotting a news channel because you consider them biased and walking out on an interview because the interviewer asked you questions are not identical.

With regard to Moran, he didn’t handle himself well and has been rightly criticized, although his interviewer fatuously and rudely insists that taxation is “forcibly taking money from citizens.”

Problem, Christine?

Hey, knock ‘em dead, WickWee! Got any more zingers?

Got a link to go with those fries?

And you come by this insight how?

I don’t see him going to dogfights either, but I don’t hold it against him.

Way to get publicity Christine. Since, you haven’t held a job for over 5 years, you need to sell as many books as possible. Having run for Senate how can you refuse to comment on gays or gay marriage and how you feel about Bachmann’s positions. The producer of the “I’m not a Witch Ad” is the same guy who produced that weird video of Huntsman riding the bike through the plains of Utah. Don’t these candidates know any better than to pick this clown to produce their campaign video ads. The guy is moron.

I think Piers Morgan does a fine job of asking the tough questions – quite unlike Larry King in his later years.  If she didn’t want to talk about what was in her book, she should have said so and he could have found another guest.  he was probably under the assumption she was there to promote her book and talk about her screwed up campaign – not to mention how she even pays her rent.

No she’s not just a wimp, she’s a witch. Don’t you remember.

All that says is that there are far more uneducated fools in the country than educated.

Yes, but she wanted to promote her fricking book that included all the stuff he was asking her about.  So, if she didn’t want people to buy the damn thing, why was she there?  I think he had to dip pretty low to bring the bitch – i mean witch on in the first place.

No he didn’t make up the 5.6 number it’s a lie that Hannity and Limbaugh have been spreading and has been proven to be a lie.

I don’t think Obama has changed his mind at all.  And, I’m in agreement with you as well.  that doesn’t mean I don’t think same-sex couples shouldn’t be able to have legal unions.  And, if I was promoting a book and was asked the question, particularly on a subject in the book, I wouldn’t be ashamed to answer it no matter who it might affend.   I know the younger generation is more open to same-sex marriage and that is okay.  I love my friends, but I think of marriage as a relationship with bilogical children hopefully as the outcome.  And, I also think that seniors who get married in their golden years should consider civil unions as well.

I think you calling people ‘bigots’ when they don’t agree with same-sex marriage is offensive.  To be honest, I think it natural to love another human being, but when it comes to marriage and sex, I don’t think it is God’s plan nor can it be called “normal”  to have two people of the same sex, having sex.  that doesn’t make me a bigot.  And it is why gays are not making friends – because they refuse to listen to anyone without the name-calling. 

She’s just a private person. She just feels that what goes on between her and her coven sisters behind their gingerbread doors is their own business.

This is a reply to Gorgegirl, below.

Let’s be clear: if you demand that your fellow citizens be denied a basic human right because it is against “God’s plan,” then you’re a bigot. Specifically, a religious bigot. If you think it’s any of your business whether people you don’t even know have sex with each other, then you’re an interfering busybody whose opinion can be dismissed out of hand. If you think that you have the corner on “normal,” then you’re an ignorant fool.

I don’t happen to be gay myself (an accident of birth), but I don’t think gay people or those who demand that they be given the same respect any other person deserves are especially interested in making friends with the likes of you. And why should anyone listen at all when you rant about God telling you who is and isn’t “unnatural.”

Just get out of the way. The dustbin of history is to your right.

Yes the rate was 5.8, but you have to remember, Bush and his puppet masters
were in office, so actually the Republican Communist Party of America was
sitting in the seats at the time. Funny how the rates matched the USSR’s unemployment
rates during their tenure.

She says she wrote the book for teabaggers. Like beck, palin , and trump she knows its a rube market and she’s just cashing in like the rest of them.

teabaggers don’t watch The Daily Show.

Right out of the Simple Palin play book.  “I don’t want to talk about that right now!” 

Watch out Piers she may cast a spell on you!  LMAO!

Excellent choice sir.

enjoyed your response – thank you

ask them

You sound like you want her- you can’t have her- you are repulsive!

Yes, I’d rather have someone that’s honest and says what they feel instead of running off like a child when asked a simple question.

look you are talking about Christine here. lol

Don’t you think you should save your “moral” outrage for ….. oh hell, name anyone!

How’s that working out for ya?

You’re right. I’m done here.

Wait, she appeared on Politically Incorrect how many times? And this never happened, then? It took me about 30 seconds to find that. How many more of those do you suppose you could have found if you actually looked before you made a statement like that?

Stupid, lying or both? You make the call.

She seems to have thought she would be doing an infomercial.

Bill Maher was more libertarian back in the 90s and he didn’t have a problem with calling out the Clinton Administration. Maher wasn’t the liberal he is today.

What you do not understand is that back then she was never challenged as a professional politician.

He went into Lybia? That sounds dirty…

We’re not talking about Maher, we’re talking about O’Donnell. She’s not a professional politician. And that doesn’t change the fact that she did plenty of interviews when she was aspiring to be one, which you claimed she does not do.

What you don’t understand is that you’re stupid, lying or both.

I’m tired of pretentious media Brits on American TV and in commercials.  Who needs it?

Go Chargers!

Maybeimamazed, you make no sense. The unemployment rate of 5.8 in 2008 is being challenged by an uninformed Obama voter. Stating that I pulled that rate out of my derriere. You can interject anything else you want to take away the fact that the rate was 5.8 and now ” the brilliant one” has it at 9.1 all you want , the fact is that hes a disaster to our country. You substantiated my point you idiot! Blah blah blah, that’s all you Obama Supporters know to do. But then again, that’s all Obama knows to do. Oh beyond blaming everybody for his incompetence. He’s so lucky that he has the 52 % dumbed downed Americans on his side.

How is “taxation” not forcibly taking money from citizens?  I didn’t realize taxes were voluntary.

lol…youre a dumbass….being a professional politician is what the witch does for a living….shes ran for the senate 3 times and has spent years feeding herself with campaign funds….assholes like your dumb racist ass defend ignorance wayyyyy to much….my guesss is you were bought up in a freaking barn with a confederate flag flying overhead

hey wingnutts you got to make a choice….meth or the goofball 40 yr old non masturbating virgins book…..my guess is most of you illiterate freaks will choose the hit

Im not a big Piers Morgan fan but I dont see how he was being rude during this interview. To me Christine O’Donnell  came off as a little baby. Gay marriage and stuff is a big subject right now and its ok just to ask what other peoples opinions are. But she just wants to talk about the things she wants to talk about so pretty much she doesnt want to be challenged.

Wow. It’s refreshing to see us liberals over-powering the teatrolls on this thread. Kudos.

yeah, she was kinda like Obama was when he was being interviewed by Brett Beier, right? Obama just wanted to talk about the things that  HE wished to talk about… unchallenged, of course. He was such a BIG BABY!

She ran for political office numerous times. She deserves to get called out on her views.

Just so you know…Your moniker doesn’t help anyone figure out if you’re male/female/or both.
That’s why they thought you were a guy. And the reason the word wasn’t spelled out, is that it could have been flagged for cursing. But I guess you must be used to cursing a lot.

The joke from Delaware?

She looked off camera (right) 12 times during the interview and 5 times to the left… ha ha ha …. and, I would swear there was a WINK at 1:10… hilarious.  why is he interviewing this woman?  she is no longer relevant… move on.

OK, you’ve topped Moran’s interviewer for fatuity. Taxes are an obligation that non-crazy people accept as part of the cost of civilization. They are not forcibly extracted, they are paid to fulfill that responsibility.

Only cranks would define that as “forcible taking.” Looked in a mirror lately?

It’s aggrivating to watch the media spin this story and use it as a means to bury christine o’donnell.  I am not a supporter of her, but am curious as to why they are doing it and how people cannot see the bs piers is spewing about this.  They aren’t showing the part of the interview where he starts pushing jabs with questions such as her thoughts about masturbation.  He was clearly out of line and is clearly trying to cover it up as he acts as if those questions did not happen but that she just got mad because of the gay marriage question.  She stated clearly she didn’t want to discuss it and after the line of questioning she had already received, it was clear that the gay question was simply the straw that broke the camels back….pay attention people…these people dont care about accuracy….

Nonsense.

The woman has set herself up as an expert on how other people ought to order their sexual lives, starting when she was a teenager. Sex is at the center of her public career and — by her own admission — discussed in her book. She may now want to move onto broader policy areas, but she made her bed on sex and now has to lie in it (with or without a partner — her choice).

You don’t seem to accept that a person peddling a book on national TV doesn’t get to vet which questions they will be asked. People less pigheaded than O’Donnell would simply have given a brief nonanswer to Morgan’s questions so as to move the debate toward the pitch for buying her book. But, because she suffers from a hypertrophied sense of entitlement, she refused to answer what she was asked — and demanded to answer questions no one was asking.

Morgan, never seen as the sharpest tool in the shed, nevertheless had the wit (and the right) to press her. And she folded up her flimsy tent and beat a hasty and lie-filled retreat.

She is the total incompetent. And I don’t think Tea Party adherents realize how much credibility she costs them every time she opens her mouth.

Why would a politician want to clearly state their position on anything? Just vote for them and trust them to do what is right….Whats the matter , lady ? Are you ASHAMED of your beliefs ?

  If a person is going to get on national TV to promote reading material, regardless of the venue, don’t you think that they should be willing to discuss it’s content? That seems to bring this event back to the old saying “Put-Up-or-Shut-Up”.
