I hate it when someone puts that lilty ‘this is so important’ twist on their words. One time passes as annoying, twice begins the you are kidding… right feeling, but over and over becomes stfu you hyperbolic tart.

I once saw Diane Sawyer on a telethon. They were collecting to stamp out crotch crickets.

Shame on you Sawyer. Your job as a journalist is to challenge and ask tough questions and no matter how hard you try to sell this as an open dialogue town meeting, it is not. The cozy exclusivity of the environment reeks of an unethical arrangement between your organization and the White House. Appearances speak volumes in our industry, and this one begs for stinging dialogue and criticism. As an old comrade of mine once reminded me on the reporting trail: “If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it’s a duck.”

Diane Sawyer was the typical useless affirmative action hired news person that prays at the alter of feminism because without quotas forcing employers to hire woman, she’s be home doing the ironing.

The White House blasted the plan when the $1T deficit forecast circulated. What plan is Obama talking about? Has anyone seen it or has the CBO analyzed it?
These points can’t be answered, therefore, they are just pushing hot air. (Sorry for the pun)

When first talked about, the infomercial was called a debate on health care. Now it’s called a dialogue. Must have looked up the meaning of debate in her Webster.

When the folks get strong enough they will boycott these communist media outlets and start voting the cronies out of office. These are foolproof and will work. We need a new contract for America.

Shaping up to be a fine infomerical. Will it be paid for per inquiry?

What we need is Iranian-style protests in major cities. Not the stone throwing part but the masses of ordinary Americans showing up in one place to clearly send the message to this out-of-touch and out-of-control government that they are in the wrong.

…and i as a young lad in an ARMY uniform took an oath to protect and defend the dear United States Constitution.
AND I HAVEN’T FORGOTTEN MY SWORN PLEDGE!!!

There are many of us out here, falderal. We are trained and willing but we need organization and a strong platoon leader. A focused army of a million can do much more than a million armies of one.
The term “militia” has been demonized in recent years but it’s still appropriate. Like the militia of old, we should fight for a common goal. When we achieve it we will disband and go home to mourn our dead and take comfort in the knowledge that we stood for something far greater than ourselves.
Where is our George Washington?

So…..for the first time in her life, Diane Sawyer is “super-proud”? Didn’t Michelle Obama say something like that?

Careful, you’ll make Ann Compton angry. She’s been breathlessly reporting about Obama since the beginning.
