“Lamb” Blitzer Goes Easy On Hillary
November 16th, 2007 at 02:53pm Matt Margolis
Isn’t an interesting coincidence that after Hillary bashed Tim Russert (for beating up on her in the Philly debate) and warned Wolf Blitzer (to keep it easy on her at the Vegas debate) that not only did Blitzer go easy on her, but Hillary is also praising Blitzer’s performance. Via Drudge we get this quote from Hillary, “[Blitzer] was outstanding, and did not gang up like Russert did in Philadelphia. He avoided the personal attacks, remained professional and ran the best debate so far. Voters were the big winners last night.”
Voters were the big winners because Hillary avoided being asked tough questions?
If Hillary is too scared to go on Fox News or answer tough questions, how can she be trusted to handle fighting the war on terrorism, or anything else for that matter?

Its more like a t.v. commerical ad than a debate with easy questions and the audience applauding on cue. We need to turn up that heat and ask hard questions, not scripted stuff or stuff everyone agrees on already. I did’nt expect “lamb Blitzer” to even try to make it exciting, or ask challenging questions. “lamb” was instructed to create a lovefest, and give a chance for everyone to bow down and pay homage to their New Leader. That debate was terrible, no action, a good cure for insomnia.

Actually i’ll give some kudos to Blitzer for his pushing of Obama to answer whether or not he supported Illegal aliens being given the opportunity to gain driver’s lincenses. He made such a schmuck of himself. It’s sad because he gave Hillary a wide open hole to cut him down. She stumbles in the last debate, gets scorched for it, then is able to pass it on to Obama by taking advantage of his stumbles, and quickly answers the question, thus shutting down his assertion that she cant answer questions directly.(at least for that debate, we all know she doesnt, but her base wont care as long as she bitch-slapped Obama.)
She gets off of the hook that she made and is able to get someone caught in it.
Quite good really.

This was the worst debate so for this presidential election season. Blitzer constantly interrupted the speakers and the audience was out of control.

The (so-called) Democrat Debate of 11-15-07 was a joke with no humor! Wolf Blitrzer showed his Liberal bent and the slate of Candidares spent more time ‘Bush bashing’ that responding to the marshmallows posed of them.
Denail abounded of Presidents Bush’s Social Security plan and nothing was offered to ‘fix’ this busted system.
I spokwe wwith my son, also a strong Conservative to get his opinion.
“Dad, it was a joke without humor,” he said…(He California, Me, Nevada)
To my amazement those were the words I headed my BLOG comment with!

Blitzer, Schmitzer–his testes were in Slick Hillie’s testicle lockbox. He probably received a thank-you call from Don Vito Clintoneone after the debate, for doing exactly as he was instructed.
Barry Earbama showed his arse once again, with repeated lies. Kookcinich was, well, Kookcinich.
Joe Biden, in all his phonyness, was clearly the smartest one on stage.
You know, why do they even call these things “debates?” This was a freak show!!!

I have never heard so many long winded, say-nothing answers to yes or no questions.
Kookcinich was the only succint one:
“Impeach Now”

Now it has been reported that the cutsy question to Hillary about which she prefered Diamonds or Pearls, was a plant by CNN!!!
Blitzer and Campbell couldn’t hide their fondness for Hillary. It was shamefully biased in her favor.

From the girls website:
“CNN ran out of time and used me to “close” the debate with the pearls/diamonds question. Seconds later this girl comes up to me and says, “you gave our school a bad reputation.’ Well, I had to explain to her that every question from the audience was pre-planned and censored. That’s what the media does. See, the media chose what they wanted, not what the people or audience really wanted. That’s politics; that’s reality. So, if you want to read about real issues important to America–and the whole world, I suggest you pick up a copy of the Economist or the New York Times or some other independent source. If you want me to explain to you how the media works, I am more than happy to do so. But do not judge me or my integrity based on that question.”
The other question which was shameless was the mother, with her military son by her side, reading a preprepared question about her concern over an invasion of Iran. she stumbled badly over the text which she clearly had not written herself.
Turns out half the tickets were distributed by the Dem party, and Harry Reid’s son, head of the Dem party is Hillary’s Nevada campaign chairman. That explains the heavily biased support of Hillary, and they disrespectful booing of all of the other candidates.
The only thing that can be said is that CNN lived up to their name as the Clinton News Network.

The shrew clearly won against the other losers on the stage. America, sadly, lost. But then how does America win when defeatists and socialists are the contestants?

phnx, that pearls before swine question was the stupidest one of the night. I’m not sure how pro-Hillary Campbell is, but she certainly is linked to Mittens Romney. Now I find that odd. Is it Clinton News Network or Romney News Network?

That young girl who asked the “pearls” question (planted by CNN) could not ask if the Senator preferred “panties or thongs” now could she?
S-H-U-D-D-E-R!………..

ToLB, thanks a lot! I was planning to pig-out for breakfast today, but the mental image of Slick Hillie in a thong has quelled my appetite. Hell, I’m gonna have trouble keeping a Nutra-Grain bar down, now…
