I love his focus groups! Everyday American’s from both sides of the isle. The guy you’re picturing was quite humorous.

I’m shocked, shocked, I say, that a Luntz focus group on the O’Hannity Show would reach this conclusion. The only thing which would shock me more is to learn that Cub Scouts like ice cream.

RRKING on youth . How I long to be a scout ! I would have loved to sell Girl Scout cookies in my neighborhood . But , alas , it never worked out .

An Overwhelming amount of people who watched last nights speech according to instant polls liked it. Of course most of those people were Democrats. But that shows why Luntz Focus group AGAIN is off. Just about none of the Democrats liked his speech in his focus group…really? You may have the ditto heads of this site fooled, but not me.

You must be kidding! are you actually giving credibility to Luntz?

Falling short of expectations is what Obama does best. Why change now?

Luntz and Hannity ? Curly, Larry and Moe have more credibility.

I love the statement at 4:20. He’s done a great job bringing unemployment down!

Luntz is asking the questions, genius. Average people are giving the answers.

Yes but a portion of them voted for Obama. The point of the group isn’t to find some that like the speech and some that didn’t, it was to take a group some of which voted for McCain and some that voted for BO and talk to them. It’s not really that complicated.

All I can say is: Is there a nail in my head?

Hmm, a CBS news poll showing the majority responded well or Frank Luntz’s undoubtedly pre-screened focus group? Who to trust? I’ll go with the trusted one.

A State of the Union address generated divided responses? Holy sh*t?! Alert the press!

That “focus group” reminded me of this:

Why do you always have to disrespect the President by not saying his actual name and post things like “BO”? Don’t try to give me the “it’s his initials” crap either, you know perfectly well what you intended with that comment. Furthermore, I can say I voted for McCain or Obama but that doesn’t make it true. This should be taken with a grain of salt. However, I doubt that you will because it fits your narrative.

Anything less than the Sermon on the Mount is a disappointment.

I guess that means no more, “BOR” “KO” “RM” or “GWB” either. No more “Reps” “Dems,” “Cons” or… “Libs.”

Wow- stop the presses.

Is BO yet another another word you libs have defined as a “code” word?

Let’s see, BHO was a community organizer- zap, suddenly “community organizer” is a code word. McCain asks the question who voted for a certain bill, and points to BHO and says “That one” and suddenly “that one” becomes a well known “code ” reference.

Why are you stuttering? did you the cat bite your tongue?

When MSNBC’s Dem shill Andrea Mitchell says the speech wasn’t good, you know it was really flat.

ANDREA MITCHELL: As much as I like civility and don’t want to be the person sitting here and saying, oh, let’s have a raucous State of the Union–you certainly don’t want a ‘you lie!’ moment–but it did lack energy. It lacked passion.

MITCHELL: The problem that I have with it is the flip side of that: which is, that it doesn’t add up. That the dollars and cents don’t add up. And when you fact-check it, when he’s talking about increasing our exports, he’s really recycling something that he said last year. He’s not explaining how to do it, how is that going to happen, nor is he explaining how he’s going to take away the subsidies from the oil companies. That’s something that he also proposed in the past. There’s no path from A to B.

But I must say, that there was one big improvement in this year’s SOTU speech. We didn’t have to watch the terribly over botoxed, harlequin- looking , “Whac-A-Mole” acting Nancy Pelosi jumping up and down after every word BHO said.

Oh my god! Andrea Mitchell didn’t get tingles in her leg?! Whatever am I to do?! How will I go on?! Each and every night I wait for her to tell me what to think. I am crushed.

Hey Matt Schneider did you go to the same college as Sean Hannity to study journalism?(Which is none)Every real news outlet identifies Frank Luntz for what he is.A REPUBLICAN POLLSTER!! Paid by the GOP to spin issues and Hannity is a GOP toadie that is beyond dispute.This was a hand picked group that Luntz and Hannity and Fox knew what the response would be.Phony TV again on Fox

Hey chucken, did you even watch the focus group? If some of them weren’t Obama lovers then they deserve Oscars.

“Frank Luntz Focus Group Mostly Agrees Obama’s Speech Fell Short Of Expectations”

- as did his whole PRESIDENCY!

That’s what happens when you wallow in DECEIT and SUBTERFUGE!

I sometimes wonder if after the show O’Hannity and Luntz make fudge, have tickle fights and wash each other’s wigs.

Why is Mediaite giving any attention to Frank Luntz’s Focus Groups which have been been proven to be fake. Many of these “average citizens” are actors who have been seen in other stuff. You know about this right?

Color me Ignorant, can you provide a link that says the focus group is composed actors? I’d be interested in that.

I’m going to agree with Window on this one… sure would love to see that evidence.

I tried finding something to support the claim that the focus groups are comprised of actors and a fraud. All I could find was a story about how the same guy is in two separate groups and how that can’t be a coincidence.

Really, though, people put way too much stock in these things and should relax. It’s a just a single focus group. It’s not a big deal.

I think you are reaching, Royal Pain in the Butt. He’s called in Independent voter both times. Is there anything to prove he’s indeed an actor and not an average Independent Voter? Just because he was part of 2 focus groups doesn’t make him a fraud.

Oh and King, what about those people that praised Obama. Are they frauds also, or is it only the ones who don’t think he walks on water that are the frauds?

I found the divide among racial lines in this Focus-Group, very interesting, and telling. Blacks want this guy to be the best, and will defend him even when they know what he’s trying to do is not working. Their belief in him as their personal representative and hero is falling far short of their expectations. Blacks are slowly learning that Obimbo is about, Obimbo. Although he will garner the Black majority in the 2012 election, I’d guess it will fall short of the numbers he had in 2008.

Your political analysis skills are lacking. This is one focus group and hardly represents all of black America or all of America. Don’t make it more important than it is. And it’s way too early to suggest that he will lose some of the black vote in 2012. You can certainly dream though.

All the while spelling with the proficiency of a serial killer and hell bent on calling each and every person not in agreement retarded of some sort.

I would think anyone fronting to be a erudite as you would find his atrocious spelling and grammar laced tirades against others communication skills laughable at best.

So help me out here…..butt hurt or agreement with his screed? If neither offer another.

I wait with baited breath…………

Butt hurt? What? I am not hurt. Far from it. And I didn’t realize you apologized, and today was the first time I’ve seen a post of yours since the day you “called me out.”

I feel the same way you do, for what it’s worth. I am not “fronting” anything either. Just having a laugh Voice of Reason. I suppose tone is tough to convey and detect without using a smiley face or something but I am not a fan.

PALMDORO:

I would have agreed with you if the divide had only happened in this one group but, the divide has been constant in all the focus-groups. This particular group was only different in the respect that a few Blacks agreed with the majority. Will he loose allot of Black votes? Probably not but, if future focus-groups exhibit this trend we may see a less than lopsided Black vote.

The fact that Hannity frequently uses Luntz is just more proof that Hannity is a lying POS molester.

Don’t know about the “molester” part, but the rest of your comment DEFINITELY applies to Hannity and Luntz.

And thanks for the excellent clip of Penn and Teller exposing Luntz as the douche-bag he truly is.

Definition of MOLEST
transitive verb

1: to annoy, disturb, or persecute especially with hostile intent or injurious effect

What makes that funny is that no one had any expectations.
