Who is Don Lemon and why do we care what he’s saying or thinking? Maybe Colby has another motive for putting this piece of nothing right up front. And besides, I thought Don Lemon was severely injured in an attack by Bachmann’s husband.

Oh, please, this little girly man got jostled and now he’s got his bloomers in a bunch. Wimp.

That does it. It’s confirmed… She’s a damn robot!

What do you want to bet if he’d be elbowed by Todd Palin instead of Marcus Bachman the message of his report would have been reversed.  Its not about the message of the candidate, its about who does or doesn’t kiss up to the interview.

Trouble is Colby, no one cares what this guy says…except you folks.

Lemon is trying to pit Bachmann against Palin and it will fail. Make no mistake, Lemon is a liberal and a fan of neither of these conservative woman. Lemon will go out of his way to ensure neither is elected as president so shame on CNN, again. 

Don Lemon Calls Out Michele Bachmann For Talking Points; Praises Palin For Candor

He “calls out”  ?  So , he’s not a reporter then .

Probably just confused after the vicious beating by Bachmann’s husband .

Mad Michelle was disappointing yesterday. On every show, she had scripted talking point answers, and the third question on one show would be answered just like the third question on the next show, even when the questions were radically different. Her speech last night was merely an anthology of these same talking points, delivered without passion or even much interest. I had really expected considerably more. Her campaign may well have reached its zenith Saturday afternoon.

looks like donny is still a little mad lol

Is it true Lemon wears a skirt behind the desk now?
Using his show for Drama Queen issues…tisk tisk..
 
Donny, way to alienate a candidate further..that’s newsworthy alrite..

I know this will come as shock to you, but not everyone always thinks in ideological terms. For most of us, there are facets of our lives far more important than ideology. In order: Faith. Family. Friends. Our community. Our nation. Our vocations. Our work. Even some interests, unique to each of us. Literature. Music. Theater. High School Football. Gardening.If ideology overwhelms our lives, we live sad and empty lives.

Who watches Don Lemon?  I thought he was put on late night or something.  Haven’t seen him since he danced through the debate stage in the cnn republican debate.

I doubt Colby much cares what Lemon thinks except to the extent Lemon has a somewhat unique place in the media.

Oh, so that explains why you so reliably trash talk conservatives and make excuses for liberals.

In other words, Bachmann is smart enough not to get baited into the traps that have plagued Palin.

All anybody has to do with Palin is to throw out some red meat and she attacks like a trained circus animal.  “What do you think about Barack Obama, Kathy Griffin, Bill Maher, David Letterman, Kate Gosselin, Michelle Obama, Kathy Griffin….” etc. 

Then watch the next thing that comes out of her mouth.

The progressive smear machine must now switch focus off Palin to Bachmann.

Are you talking about Marcus or Don?

I think CNN should pull Don Lemon from any further reportage on Bachmann. Actually, Lemon should recuse himself, as his objectivity has been demonstrably compromised. He makes it quite obvious that he has personal issues with the Bachmanns and he will make CNN’s coverage of them look bad and heavily biased.

This is exactly the problem with journalism today. Journalists are expected to pretend that all arguments are equal and based on facts that are from reliable, unbiased sources. This is how, for instance, climate change denialism has come into being. Oil companies muddy the waters with junk science masquerading real science and then journalists have to present it as just another side in the “debate.”

It’s intellectually dishonest and has done more harm to our nation’s ability to make smart choices. Good for Don Lemon for trying to cut through the nonsense and the opaque talking points!

The Real Royal Emperor Said :Although Todd does some spectacular work, I’m not on board with him on this. Tollbooth simply does a Line Dance with the T-Partee, never really embracing, never really touching.

To some extent, but only to some extent, Tollbooth is a Business Conservative who has used social conservatism only as a means of pandering to the Crackers in rural and semi-rural East Texas and West Texas. To the core of Texas, the I-35 corridor cities and Houston, and its business interests, Tollbooth dances a passionate, erotic Lambada without shame.

Tollbooth is then completed by his unreserved embrace of internationalism and Neo-Conservatism. Tollbooth is the son Big D*ck never had, with no offense intended for Mary Cheney. He may dress like as member of the chorus line in a road tour of “Oklahoma!” and he may sound like a twangier W, but he is Big D*ck with better hair and a working ticker.

LOLWUT  

As most comments expressed, who the hell is Lemon and why would anyone care what he thinks. He looks unstable to me. An attention-whore and not so much of a deep thinker. The only thing this clip brings is, and speaking of attention-whores, damn Palin looks stunning. Come to think, everything I just wrote about Lemon, I could have said about Palin

WOW. A lot of BABIEs in here who dont like MOMMY getting called out for repeating the same stuff over and over and NEVER ANSWERING THE QUESTIONS

“Michelle, what did you eat today?”

“Barack Obama is going to be a ONE TERM PRESIDEEEENNT”

“But…Michelle…the food…what did you eat…?”

WOW. A lot of BABIEs in here who dont like MOMMY getting called out for repeating the same stuff over and over and NEVER ANSWERING THE QUESTIONS

Bingo. 

^ +1 for Moosenuts.

There is some ‘funny business’ going on. Joe Scarborough declares ‘Palin is Obama for GOP’, Don Lemon lauds Palin for her ‘improvised candor’.
First the media calls Palin as idiot, stupid, and a liar. She was blamed for attack on Gifford. Tommy at Mediaite basically called her a racist, by defining her gathering as ‘monochromatic’. Earlier Joe Scarborough had written a stinging rebuke of Palin in his first column at Politico, now he compares her to Obama. Now, we are told, Palin may not be a liar, Don lauds her candor.
There seems to be a conserted effort by the liberals to bring Palin in the mix of GOP candidates. Joe is not a conservative, he is a liberal GOP of the media. To what end. so they can focus on one person and not deal with Bachmann and Perry.

Watch Obama give the same canned speech on his new tax payer funded bus  throughout his tax payer paid  magical mystery campaign tour.

Next, go back and read Obama’s, McCain’s, name your candidate…..stump speeches.  It’s the same thing over and over and over, names of addressed politicos  and locations changed per stop.  This.  is.  nothing.  new. 

You want to know about the candidate, look at their record, look up their web site, look at “On the issues” and other websites that are watching politicians and recording their information. 

She’s on the stump, this didn’t just start with Michelle Bachmann nor will it end with her, Obama will be out doing exactly the same.

Don ( lemon ) is simply just another left wing bomb throwing fruit by any other name. Typical lib shenanigans, cutting up 5 or 6 honest, get her message out interviews ( telling her truthful story ) then implying they are somehow mere talking points proves beyond a shadow of a doubt just how desperate and petty Barack Obama and the MSM have become. 

It’s fricking hilarious to watch actually.

well, the republicans are the party of stupid.

on the other hand, some democrats, as awful as they are, are the only 
political party standing between us and the bankers/corporations.

i don’t see those statements as contradictory

her peak was arguing “i never talked about default as an option”

I’m liberal enough that Lemon’s orientation gives me no pause, but I’m old enough that I wish there were less drama.

yeah, but lemon got the last word, lol
and stuck it to bachmann real good

ahhh, children

still stuck on a playground in 1984….

anyone else notice the sheer volume of homophobic comments?

all of them from conservatives, of course….

Don’t forget stalking and his anti-Mormon bigotry!

“Anyone who disagrees with me is terrible, and I hate them.  They’re poopy pants stupid faces.”

Just a summary of your arguments.

just like the child that he is

Tsk, tsk, tsk.   The old  ”People in glass houses……….” applies here.  Irony alert!

so in your mind, anyone critical of the GOP is liberal?

“smear” =  any criticism whatsoever directed at conservatives

No, just like the journalist that he is. (Of course, if you’re a Fox News viewer, you wouldn’t recognize what a journalist looks or sounds like, since  you’re only used to propagandist hacks.)

They’re not. But the kids think so they’re high-fiving one another pretending that they are.

lol, yeah hannity, maddow, schultz, beck are all journalist lol, what a fool you are. lemon a journalist, thats a good one

Don Lemon regularly uses Democrat talking points to attack Republicans. 

Keep believing that Darla, the Democrats have time and time again sold their souls to the highest bidders.

yeah, you would think he would man up now that he came out… so childish..

thanks for pointing it out. darn that drama queen.. tisk tisk

i agree, but not all of them (see: progressive caucus), and those who have? not nearly as transparently as republicans (“corporations are people, my friend”)

i think the point was obvious, cdj—i know you really hate cause-effect patterns and
substantive arguments (which you repeatedly gloss over/ignore, just so you can feel
good about yourself in your depressing, ohio watering hole)….

the lesson for bachmann is:  never elbow a prime time journalist

And granted she never disappoints.

We’ve said it before: Dawn Lemon is CNN’s “It Girl”, and he considers gorgeous Gov. Sarah Palin soooo stylish & seductive; soooo fragrant & fashionable; and he is soooo right!.

glad you admitted that donnie is being petty, thanks darla…….so no he is not a journalist just a hack

Ah this is SO typical! Instead of discussing the repetitive pointless phrases spat out by a potential presidential candidate, people here rushed and attacked the journalist who made a VERY valid point in the above segment.

It appears that Sarah Palin is more clever, more reasonable, and definitely more cool than Michele Bachmann. That says a lot!

Other than that, did you guys notice a new Palinism at 3m54 “That’s passé to pit (sic!)…”?

is warren buffet a left wing zealot, too?:

“OUR leaders have asked for “shared sacrifice.” But when they did the asking, they spared me. I checked with my mega-rich friends to learn what pain they were expecting. They, too, were left untouched.
While the poor and middle class fight for us in Afghanistan, and while most Americans struggle to make ends meet, we mega-rich continue to get our extraordinary tax breaks. Some of us are investment managers who earn billions from our daily labors but are allowed to classify our income as “carried interest,” thereby getting a bargain 15 percent tax rate. Others own stock index futures for 10 minutes and have 60 percent of their gain taxed at 15 percent, as if they’d been long-term investors.These and other blessings are showered upon us by legislators in Washington who feel compelled to protect us, much as if we were spotted owls or some other endangered species. It’s nice to have friends in high places.Last year my federal tax bill — the income tax I paid, as well as payroll taxes paid by me and on my behalf — was $6,938,744. That sounds like a lot of money. But what I paid was only 17.4 percent of my taxable income — and that’s actually a lower percentage than was paid by any of the other 20 people in our office. Their tax burdens ranged from 33 percent to 41 percent and averaged 36 percent.”

Looky here, the WaPo says Obama gave the same stump speech/message 3 to 4 times a day for months and months for a year, occasionally adding riffs to attempt to change the criticism against him:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/graphic/2008/02/26/GR2008022600417.html

Lemon’s credibility suffers by attempting to make an issue of this, he’s either ignorant or deceptive, lying by omission of the fact that this is what candidates routinely do.

Thats what you read? Hillary is a conservative progressive who is critical of GOP, Jennifer Rubin (WaPo) is a conservative and hates Palin with passion. Kathlene Parker is a liberal-conservative who loves to bad mouth Palin, in her column last week.
I do assert that most of the liberals (Republicans and Democrats), do not like conservative GOP. Liberals tolerate conservative Democrats. Liberals love liberal and progressive GOP, examples of progressive liberal GOP are: Joe Scarborough, Meghan McCain.

“man up”

here we go again…..

children….alas

“progressive GOP”?

how is kathleen parker a “progressive”? 

because she’s critical of palin?!

Remember folks, according to Darla… if you’re going to sell out to “the corporations,” you should do it in shadow.  It’s much better to lie to the public about that stuff like those Democrats, than it is to be open and honest about it.

“never elbow a prime time journalist”

No.  Have your goon squad do that, and the left will defend them.

(See: O’Reilly vs Obama ‘security’ guard)

You’re right. No one should ever, EVER dare to criticize Saint Sarah, no matter how stupid her comments or shitty her opinions. And if that criticism comes from other Republicans, well, you just KNOW that they’ve been brainwashed and can’t possibly mean it unless they’re secretly libruhl secular progressive poopy-heads!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so buffet said they asked, but since they didn’t make me, i said f*ck it

Sorry, but Lemon’s a totally credible journalist and works for a network that isn’t a 24-hour talking points propaganda machine for either party. 

too you he is, nothing more

I don’t find that surprising at all .

@333429e953f27fc96f15dc802277cc5d:disqus

Double standards are fun!

Upcoming Bachmann political ad:  “I am not a flake.  I’m like you …”

I would really like to see someone actually challenge Bachmann during a debate or interview by making her defend the long shopping list of baseless accusations and reality-devoid proclamations that she has made during the past 2-3 years.

Typical exchange between Michele and an interviewer: 
“So Congresswoman Bachmann, tell us about your views regarding the health care reform legislation that Congress passed last year.”
“Obamacare is socialism …”, followed by a wide grin and bug-eyed stare at the camera. And when asked to elaborate, she’ll reply “Obamacare is socialism …” while grinning and giving another creepy stare.

I think that the Republican Party as a whole is ready to nominate a woman, …. but it ought to be one that has a reasonable chance to actually win. It would also be wise to nominate someone who:
- doesn’t have a penchant for making accusations or basing public policy proposals on rumor, innuendo, and unsubstantiated anecdotes
- can discuss relevant issues without invoking God, and
- doesn’t feel compelled to proclaim that those with opposing points of view are somehow less American than those who support her.

Michele eagerly jumped on the “birther bandwagon” until her political weathervane told her that it would be prudent to jump off and pretend it never happened.

Bachmann and Palin share fundamental character flaws — both have a propensity toward making snide, petty comments about those with whom they disagree, neither does her homework before making public comments regarding important social and historical events, neither is capable of extemporaneously elaborating on their mundane, superficial talking points, and neither is mature enough to accept responsibility for her own mistakes, failures, and shortcomings.

Michele Bachmann is just another delusional tea party brown-nosing homophobe who pretentiously claims to be doing “God’s work” — using biased interpretations of cherry-picked biblical passages to justify her brand of social intolerance and religious self-righteousness.

One reason why Bachmann and Perry’s proclamation that “God told them to run” will not sit well with most Americans — the fundamental concept of God as a meddling, micromanaging manipulator who chooses sides in politics is as absurd as the claim that God enables a specific athletic team to win a championship.

In short, someone who regards herself as the Queen of White Tea could possibly win the GOP nomination, but she is much too far from the ideological mainstream to garner enough support from the rest of the voting populace to win a presidential election.

Once his set of lies about being “shoved” dies down, sour lemon will play journolista trick #2: he’ll claim that a Tea Party supporter of (fill-in-the-blank – ANY GOP candidiate) called him a degrading racial slur while he was just doing his job of covering the candidate. Of course, there will be NO PROOF WHATSOEVER of that claim, but it will get headline status in the lamestream socialist media for days and days.

(misses point, again)

Lemon sounds like he is screaming out for help here, with his bizarre stalking of Marcus and Michelle Bachmann. As someone who was raped by a homosexual pedophile as a little boy, is Lemon calling out for Marcus Bachmann to help him with his sexual confusion?

Lemon has a bizarre fixation on Marcus and Michelle Bachmann. I think it has something to do with Marcus Bachmann’s medical practice and Lemon is secretly crying out for help, knowing that Marcus Bachmann is one of the only people that can help him.

Yes, in the same way that “gotcha questions” are liberal, too.

I think the real crime here is that the joke just isn’t that funny, especially when Bachmann’s husband is clearly a gay. DId you see those shots of him with the giant sausage? I mean, he can really fit alot in his mouth at once.

“- doesn’t have a penchant for making accusations or basing public policy proposals on rumor, innuendo, and unsubstantiated anecdotes”
Sounds like Obama and the MSM. Quit posting this tripe, it’s bigoted emotionally charged (deranged) nonsense.

Who is Jim and why do we care what he’s saying or thinking? 
I’m actually convinced Marcus was trying to cop a feel and assaulted Lemon by mistake.

Regular readers will recall Stoneyjack the creepy Palin lickspittle and sycophant.   Ewwwwww.

“In fact, if we were to see more of the version of Palin that Lemon interviewed below, one might expect that she’d enjoy far more support from moderate independents who see her only as the cartoon character as she is so often portrayed by many in the media, fairly and unfairly.”

What a ridiculous attempt at even-handedness.  The only reason we don’t see more of “this” Palin is because she has chosen to utterly boycott anything but the most sympathetic of media outlets.

You are absolutely shameful.  Trying to interview a frickin’ presidential candidate is not stalking, except in the minds of conservatives with pathological martyr complexes such as yourself.

Shut up, please, with your infantile homophobia.  You shame only yourself.

I’m am becoming more and more disgusted with each comment I read.  What a joke these people are.

It turns out that one billionaire can’t solve an entire nation’s problems by himself.  

What on earth ever happened to patriotism and a willingness to sacrifice for the common good?  

Doesn’t even have to be criticism.  Anything short of fawning praise = a smear.

Good God, grow up.  

Wouldn’t you be if you had been shoved for no reason other than doing your job?  Only if it was a Dem doing the shoving?

Umm..he prays it away nightly… heard that one..

you want me to choose between the two gay guys? I don’t think gay is funny at all.. it’s kinda sad when you think about it…sigh..some are born that way Im told… That’s probably the story here..Donny pissed at Marcus not Michelle..

LOL.  We have the most right-wing conservative party of any developed Western nation, but they’re a bunch of “progressives.”   Riiiiight.

I feel sorry for you.

Um, Lemon is a journalist.  The others are more akin to editorialists. 

Synthesizing the words and actions of a presidential candidate is actually what journalists are supposed to do, btw.  It’s not his fault the dots are there to connect.

thanks, it makes me warm all over….

What’s with this gay bashing?  You have problems with homosexuals?  I guess the bachmanns are your heroes because they hate teh gay.

I’ve not much of a Don Lemon fan; I used to watch him when he was in Chicago before he went to CNN.  But I could care less if he’s gay or not. 

But, good for Don and his reporting on this issue.  Those bullies michele and marcus bachmann should not be allowed to get away with their crap, including bullying and massive lying.

Sounds very much like the summary of conservatives. 

Bachmann is full of talking points.

In that Fox News debate last week, before it started, Bret Baier of Fox News asked the participants not to use their one liner talking points.  He wanted well thought out answers.

Bachmann was the first to be asked a question.  As part of her response, she added “Let’s make Barack Obama a ‘one term President’”.

So much for not spewing talking points.  This shows another bad side of Bachmann.  She does not listen, and if one does not listen, they will not be a good leader.

Again, I have to ask, why all of the homophobia from people like you?  It’s childish and stupid. 

I don’t know why it’s “sad”; I guess you’re taking talking points from bachmann and also hate gay people.

I know a few gay people.  Two guys I know in Holland actually are married.  They live happy lives, have productive jobs, cause no problems, and have many gay and straight friends.  I know another couple of guys who live together here in the States.  Again, they live happy lives, one has a job (the other was downsized recently but has worked for a very long time), cause no problems with their neighbors, and have many gay and straight friends.

Unfortunately, some ignormuses feel the way that you and others on this thread do, and that is what is sad.

As a independent,conservative,I appreciate Don Lemon,he sounds most reasonable and I liked his back and forth with Sarah Palin…

I wonder how Barracks golf game is today. Do you think he might break 80? I feel he has a really good chance if he closes his stance just a bit while putting.

Yeah, we sure did when you leftist crats were calling Marcus Bachmann a closet case. Funny thing is, I never saw you or anyone else condemning those comments. You were probably giving those comments thumbs up, so spare us.

As “shameful” as all you leftists calling Marcus Bachmann a closeted gay man?
How many Republican candidates were in Iowa? Why is Lemon fixating on only one of them, injecting himself into the story of the Iowa event?

“Anyone familiar with politics tells you it’s an indication of how the campaign could conduct business once the candidate is in office and the voter should be made aware”.

Weren’t these same set of candidate indications more than relevant when CNN was touting Obimbo? Where the hell was their outrage when Obimbo was telling people that “sharing the wealth” was a good thing? And lets’ not forget all the scumbags Obimbo hung out with. Where was the indignation about that? 

Nice, @f63963e18f4163ef05e1ed2c4944a70d:disqus .  You really showed me.

But next time, “I know you are, but what am I?” works just as well.

“… cartoon character as she is so often portrayed by many in the media, fairly and unfairly.” May I ask how someone can “fairly” be portrayed as a cartoon character?

If Lemon does a segment stringing together Obama’s references to “balanced approach,” “millionaires and billionaires,” “the rich paying their fair share” (without ever mentioning that the top 1% of earners pays 35% of taxes, and the top 5% pays 58%, and 50% pays no taxes at all), “oil companies and private jet owners,” “an economy driven into the ditch,” etc…then he’ll earn a measure of respect. 
I saw at least two of Bachmann’s interviews and noticed the repetition of points and language, but it would not be the first time that a candidate doing multiple interviews in quick succession, such as after a milestone campaign event or race, makes the same points with formulaic language.  Having noted the rehearsed aspect of her presentation, I also took away a new poise and moderate tone–a departure from the more familiar confrontational affect of Michele Bachmann’s media appearances until now.

Um, sorry friend, but a lot of people believe that not all wealth should be accumulated by a very few.  And never once did Obama or his aides turn to violence in order to avoid media scrutiny.

He’s focusing on the thug who pushed him!  I’m sure the other candidates will receive plenty of coverage.

I don’t have any idea what Marcus Bachmann’s orientation is, but considering that both science and anecdotal evidence tell us that homophobes are quite often self-loathing closeted gays, I don’t see anything offensive whatsoever.

Hey, Donny and CNN:  Bachmann is running for elective office, and is being vetted for it (fairly or otherwise) by the media.  Palin is…NOT running for public office.  
Pay more attention, and try to keep up.

Nice grammar douchebag

The most ridiculous statement of the week was when Don Lemon said to Sarah Palin that the media vetted Barack Obama more thoroughly than they vetted Sarah Palin.

The media pusposely avoided vetting Obama (for fear of what it might find and be forced to cover up) while it sent hundreds of reporters to Alaska to dig up dirt on Palin.

There are so many issues the media refused to check – the entire time Obama spent at Columbia University seems to be a mystery, his relationship with William Ayers and Bernadette Dorn, his time as a community oranizer, his relationship with racketeer Tony Rezko, etc.

Lemon ALWAYS gets his questions to the individual that he is interviewing, but EVERYONE of the guests on Lemon’s show, will NEVER answer the question DIRECTLY but very INDIRECTLY, and won’t really answer it, but the answer will come in the form of ANOTHER QUESTION. Lemon is excellent on his interviews., and I enjoy his patience, but he does GET THE WORD ACROSS, to the disliking to the guest…

Tangled Thorns, but have a THORN stuck in the THINKING part of his brain, or HE HAS LEFT THE BUILDING….

Ideally, we can reach a balance of these facets,or at least try.  If one aspect overwhelms the others the result is negative.  It’s a very old credible idea.

Oh. My. God.  Do you really not have any understanding of what homophobia is?  Because he’s a hint:  it’s not calling out homophobic closet cases.

So all of your feigned moral outrage was just typical Lib bullshit.
Thanks for clearing that up!

Cognitive dissonance much?

It’s so nice to see a reporter give his honest opinion on Sarah Palin. This is the Sarah Palin that her supporters know and admire. (smart, sharp, charming, funny, accessible, etc.) Not the caricature that you in the media portray. (Caribou Barbie) And that includes Mediaite. Thank you, Don Lemon.

I fail to see it; please explain.  

I don’t care how gay you are; if you engage in harmful homophobic rhetoric, we have a problem.  But for the love of God, calling out self-loathing gay homophobes is in no way, shape or form a manner of homophobia.  It is a tool to be used against it.

And as we all know, reality has a well-known liberal bias.

Um, what?  Making fun of being for being gay isn’t the same as calling out hypocrites who engage in extremely harmful homophobic rhetoric.  

But thanks for your feigned moral outrage.

Um, the only reason he portrayed her that way is because she *actually talked to him.*  Sometimes you have to do that if you want people to see your side.

The DNC wants Palin to run against Obama- I heard this little nugget last year, and to offer up proof the individual gave the perfect indicator- as soon as you start to see the MSM begin to cut her some slack and actually toss her some compliments to turn the tide of public opinion will be the start… I’ll be darned if that hasn’t happened in the past two weeks as the Republican nominations are shaping up and campaigns are getting solidified. Trust me, Palin hasn’t changed, she is talking the same talk she always has- so what say the media? Do they really have a change of heart or should we question this group of “journolists” who gave us Obama un-vetted by the media glare, embraced as the post racial savior of the American people? 

In politics, keeping to your talking points is called “staying on message” if the candidate is your guy.  I’m sure that Lemmon cringes whenever President Obama tries to ad lib rather than just read from his teleprompter.  Remember the stupid cops in Cambridge?  Or talking “share the wealth” with Joe the Plummer?  If he says he likes for Sarah Palin for being candid, what he really means is if she isn’t staying on message there is some chance she will step in it, and he can portray her as a rube and a bumpkin.

 the media complains they cant get answers, yet ignore RON PAUL, i dont feel bad for them

Don Lemon is a very boring deer-in-he-headlights self indulgent fop; ergo,a complete dud.

Anyone who allows himself to be  hi-jacked in a golf cart and then cries about it on national TV  is a pansy.

This is the state of the journalistas elite–they should wear gymnastic leotards, eye shadow and glitter while twirling batons for Obama , waving red flags and singing  “The Internationale” en francés. If they had any balls they’d be easier to take. But they don’t so they aren’t.

What a jerk this guy is. Maybe he should question his own sexuality as those who speak the loudest and the longest about sexuality should look within himself or herself!

jim righties like you are such obvious liars you really should just shut up and try to learn something.
Lemon was pushed into a golf cart by the gay bachmann- not seriously injured. There was no report that he was seriously injured. Righties are just haters.

when the press starts praising palin you know we’re in trouble.
