TPMtv: Sunday Show Roundup: Towering Babble

[135135135135135]

Can someone please catch Karl Rove, strap his fat ass to a board, and waterboard him cold.

[jamin69]

Americans are their own worst enemy... Their country is crumbling and they are just sitting in their armchairs eating Doritos and pointing the finger at everyone else. If only they could see themselves from the outside.

[5uper5tring]

Yeah we have the worlds largest gdp, the greatest industrial base, the best universities, the most diverse population, and we took down one the the largest armies in the world losing only 150 men. We are a joke compared to Australia and her majestic er um... kangaroo population? What is you guys do anyway, I mean would the world even miss you if you just disappeared? not really

[jamin69]

I think the last few weeks have, unfortunately, started to prove my point. My comments have come from a base of frustration and not USA bashing. The USA used to stand for something, a place I always wanted to visit, a place I saw as progressive. That was before the last eight years. And as for Australia, you can't even begin to understand how truly great it is to live here. Beautiful women, beautiful beaches, sane gun laws, and our kids don't need to fear being shot at school. Get up and vote

[bunkiebe]

We do have to get tired of bitching in our arm chairs and do someting at some point. Please? Bush/ extreme right cheated both elections and got by with that and oh my God, so much more.

[rob80nikki]

As McCain stated today, "it isn't that NAFTA is a bad policy, its that Americans aren't ready for A WORLD ECONOMY".

Yep, it is America and all its citizens fault for "NOT COMPLYING AND FOLLOWING LIKE SHEEP, THE NEW WORLD ORDER, GLOBAL ECONOMY, NAU, AMERO, LOSS OF AMERICA'S SOVERIENTY, BORDERS, ETC..

So American, does anyone agree with McAmnesty??

[31775toyer]

what the fuck please let me know when the sky start to fall

[gyco7]

A plague on both your houses. America is a joke

[maluwelton]

you notice Rove did remember to wear the flag pin as he mentioned it regarding obama, i think he loves that democrats keep mentioning him...

[sharshur]

It wasn't a good idea to accept the endorsement of John Hagee, but he still welcomes it. Flip flopping bastard!!

[Olympion]

"We're not hypocritical about it"? Fuck you Rendell, Hillary and her campaign have for months been whining about media bias, about Obama, about MoveOn, about sexism, and now they turn around and claim Obama's whining just because he's criticizing that disgrace of a debate! Fuck them! Bill and Hillary are not the only compulsive liars in that campaign, that's for sure!

[sarcasmosis]

Another editing masterpiece.

[oolong2]

The media is such a joke...

Not only are they "elitist" who "look down on us", they are also "unpatriotic"

[Gravel4Prez]

The talking heads have seen their day. The tipping point has been reached where the majority of voters aren't going to be swayed by their transparent head games.

[FamilyDynamics]

Hunker down, break out the popcorn and watch the world burn, only 7 more months of this crap.

[sugarpuddin88]

Family - Ha! No one says we have to stay in the USA eh?

I'm leaving with billionaire Wall Street mogul Jim Rogers

See ya!

[FamilyDynamics]

Right about now, I'd prefer to be leaving with Mr. Rogers.

[thisisUll]

The Pope was Hitler Youth.

Are you all mad?

[aumwithy]

/watch?v=FJFwcaFs-Bs

[LoveIsTheMovement3]

I think that both Clinton and Obama should stay in the race to show each other's true colors.

[shoalz]

[PharaohNineD]

The only way john mccain benefits from this is if Obama goes crazy from and starts eating babies.

And the wolf blizter hate this back and forth clip at 5:40 something should have been used through out this LOL

[MooseOfReason]

So, now McCain wouldn't have sought Hagee's endorsement, but he wants to keep it? That sounds familiar.

[MojoJuana]

i see the doughboy rove is wearing his lapel flag pin...jeeze, he must be a true patriot then, huh? hahahahahaha! pssss, valery is a cia operative.

[astro104]

NObama'08!

[BforBryan]

this is like a puppetshow...

[ShinsengumiTaicho1]

"Tough tough tough tough"

You know who is tough?

Mike Gravel is tough.

Too bad the media assassinated him early and often.

[nbwulf]

Always appreciate the Sunday recap despite the occasional bleeding from the ears and headache afterwards.

[ArishiaNishi]

Time for a paradigm shift, because this one has clearly worn out its welcome. I don't know anyone that is still invested in this sh*t or even finds it interesting. How is it that people making millions of dollars a year are so far behind on this one? It's like they are still saying "Groovy" or "Bitchin" when those times are so past. Come on, wake up. Catch up with the times.

[gamblingaliens]

It's just fabricated media noise to distract us from the fact that we are being screwed....

[gamblingaliens]

Pathetic and these idiots get paid to abuse us on TV.

[xTheOxx]

I wish someone flung excrement at Karl Rove. What a conniving shithead.

[vertigate]

If toughness is now defined as not giving a shit about anything or anyone but yourself, then I suggest we vote for Cheney as POTUS. He's tougher even than HRC by this definition. I don't see anything in HR's record, that suggests that she has stood up for tough issues. Just talking nonsense with conviction or arrogantly ignoring questions doesn't qualify as toughness in my book. Obama's speech for a better union was courageous. Maybe it was tough too. What is this Kindergarten? LOL

[vertigate]

I'd say Obama's speech on a better union was tough in the sense that he performed excellently and with honesty under pressure. When has HRC performed like that? I don't think she did so well with health care in '93 or during the Lewinsky scandal when she blamed it all on a vast right wing conspiracy. Is it tough to say that it's none of our business? How is that attitude going to help solve any tough issues?

[hypnofan35]

We don't need you steeking news pundits and spin pushers to tell us what to think. As long as you go along with Bush's "terrorist" interpretation of reality, what makes you think you have any credibility about anything. Reality is not well served by these creeps and propaganda stars. i say take your opinions and stick them where the sun don't shine. Get that super backstabbing Nazi trickster Rove off the screen. Send him to jail where he can bargain over which bunk sleep in.

[dogstar7]

It doesn't seem to matter that Obama has answered these "questions" repeatedly.

The truth is that Obama's answers to the "questions" are irrelevant. McCain and Clinton simply have to publicly invoke Wright and Ayers names to create fear and loathing.

Corporate media has framed Wright as a symbol of "black anger" and Ayers as a "mad bomber". Their relationships to Obama (tenuous as they are) are treated as guilt by association.

[huskercane]

Hillary assumed that she was the shoe in, and when she got her ass whooped, her campaign didn't know how to respond. America is sick and tired of the negativity and gamesmanship that has become our political system and they want a change. In tone, in style, and in inspiration. America wants a President who makes the world seem brighter and inspires us to do more.

Not fucking your husband for 8 years in the White House is not "experience".

PA, end this silliness tomorrow, vote Obama!!!

[hypnofan35]

I'll guess what is going on here. There is an attempt going on to desensitize the public to the gravity of the issues pending. It is not about the war of the candidates although that seems to be the primary issue. I think the public is being screwed over. It is a pschological ploy of the controlling class. They will try to make it so chaotic that democracy and the vote will not be questioned when the "big fix" is put into place. These people spend their entire lives creating spin.

[hypnofan35]

It seems like a really big problem that all these folks to a person are "on board" with the Bush admin's historical monumental lie that 911 was an "outsider terrorist" action. It should be completely obvious by now to anyone in their right mind that the reality was a vast lie that included the news networks. Knowing that, what is it they expect us to take on their word, outside of earquakes and weather events? i guess they figure they will be killed if they are not on board with all that.

[hypnofan35]

A vast, monumental, and sweeping lie does not a truth make. What is the problem with these people. It must be that a career in the limelight telling lies seems far more rational than not being in the limelight. This means that these people believe that the truth is more a popular notion than a clear and direct transfer of real or pertinent info. I suppose if the truth was critical to existence; somewhere more than 99.9% of the top leaders would become blowfly food by the time the sun set.

[timluns]

Both President Bush & Dick Cheney wear Flag lapel pins and have done more to destroy this country then any two people alive. I wish the media would quit covering everything like a Paris Hilton story and try talking about real issues

[kida101]

Damn you Hilary for ripping America apart!!

[makeyanoticeme]

Ahhhhhhhhhh! I couldn't even finish watching. Thanks for the headache!!!!!

[bodah44]

aarrgh! no one knows how to throw an election like the DNC

[FeelFreeToArgue]

I don't get the "tough" argument. Sure, Clinton has taken a lot of shit, but she's also knuckled under to a lot of it. She voted to support the war, she parrots a lot of the hysterical "conventional wisdom" on Iran, and she is now one of the biggest recipients of big pharma donations. Like her husband, I think she is weak. Like him, she will betray core Democrat ideals for marginal gains. Let's reserve tough for people like Russ Feingold, who voted alone vs the Patriot Act.

[jenniferann2]

These people are fucked up!!!!!!!

[chunksloth]

I happy McCain was tortured.

I wish he'd get tortured again.

[Deweydecible]

please, that's just tasteless.

McCain is not evil, or deserving of torture. No one is deserving of torture which is why our country needs to stand on its once moral principles.

McCain is wrong about economics, the war, but right about torture.

This is truly silly season. I don't care about any of Obama's associations because they are not reflected in his politics, his proposed policy initiatives, or his world view.

Character assassination is the GOP's and HRC's only hope.

[thenoblefool]

What a disgusting thing to say.

[GlobalSufi]

Ayers was also UNCONVICTED! MacCain is an asshole.

[oldbaldy129]

Sen. Clinton is destroying the Democratic Party. Thanks a lot Hillary!

[JobDDT]

Wow, a bunch of people on ABC News defending an ABC debate. Cool!

[Hukeshy]

they agree on it :) fuck abc

[copcorona]

Rove is a criminal. He has perverted the justice department.

[ltlillil]

John McCain and Karl Rove should explain to their audience where the patriotism is in sacificing 3 trillion dollars and more than 4000 men in a war-of-choice fought against the wrong enemy.

[vertigate]

I'm sure it made them love America more. For being home to the suckers that voted them into office twice so they could do it. I have no doubt they love America.

[Visfen]

"these are the kind of question that will come up in a general election"

true, but should they? should your friends and your jewelry determine your capability as a president?

[hajqbvii]

It was a boring debate no matter what spin the media puts on it. God help us all....these BOOBS still didn't get it!

[Davidthorough]

Really interesting exchange between stephanopolous & mccain. Great editing throughout your whole piece. If... and unfortunately it is... the way we decide the leader of the most powerful nation in the world... we deserve what we get. If the founding (unfortunately only) fathers showed up and saw how the country is being run... they'd load their muskets and march on the capital. We need to take our country back, but no one will bother as long as there is shopping to do.

[Virginian9000]

I love the roundups. I can never watch teh full Sunday shows.

[lamouchemorte]

Everybody brace yourselves for Neo-Con America III!! You thought Cheney was bad, get ready for vice-president Magical Mormon Underpants Romney!

Just when you thought the dollar couldn't get any lower, whoops.

[ruddypoo86]

"The buffet is coming at me", haha. Good line.

[mikemidcity]

Shit talking heads.

[lamouchemorte]

Hillary Clinton will take the Democratic party down with her.

[lorettarosa]

This is our media ?

You know America is fucked.

[Tritium8]

be the media... subscribe to the grassroots - fuck political parties, it's a flawed system and a setup.

peace

[lorettarosa]

Tritium8

Thank you

[jthomp3120]

first!

[lamouchemorte]

First?

[vertigate]

Btw, in case this has been forgotten, HRC's campaign themselves first announced the kitchen sink strategy. It's amazing that her goons (Geoff Garin) now claim Obama was trying to cast her as negative.

"March 7, 2008: Last week, [..] Hillary Clinton's campaign announced that in a frantic push to save their candidate from defeat [..] they were going to throw everything including the "kitchen sink" at him."

--> tinyurl . com / 3hjky4

[vertigate]

It's tedious to rehash all her ridiculous smears at this point. It's not Obama doing it, it's HRC and they're the ones pushing it. They declared almost 2 months ago that they viewed it as their only chance to win. And Rendell trying to cast this open negativity as a virtue of honesty is the biggest joke.

On this note I hope this porkface Rendell guy will be finished politically soon. I can't stand his fat mobster wannabe attitude. Who is actually stupid enough to vote for that idiot?
