Open thread: Sunday morning talking heads
posted at 8:01 am on September 23, 2012 by Allahpundit
Tough call for the Sunday shows. Do they focus on the week’s true headline story, the White House’s embarrassing reaction to protests in the Middle East and the mounting evidence of U.S. negligence in protecting the consulate in Benghazi? Or do they focus on Romney’s big gaaaaaaaffe? Hint: The panels this week include Peggy Noonan, David Brooks, Joe Scarborough, and Nicolle Wallace, all of them dependable Republican critics of the GOP. Why David Frum and Steve Schmidt weren’t invited too, I have no idea. Maybe the networks are saving the “big guns” for the stretch run before the election.
Bill Clinton, a.k.a. Obama’s other running mate, will be on too to try to convince America that another four years of Obamanomics is just what the doctor ordered for global prosperity and fiscal restraint. The line-up via WaPo:
NBC’s Meet the Press: Gov. Deval Patrick (D-MA); Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-NH); Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed, Bay Buchanan, senior Romney adviser; Joe Scarborough, MSNBC; David Brooks, New York Times; Dee Dee Myers, Democratic strategist
CBS’ Face the Nation: Former President Bill Clinton; David Corn, Mother Jones; Peggy Noonan, Wall Street Journal; Rick Stengel, Time magazine; David Gergen, Harvard; John Dickerson, CBS and Slate
ABC’s This Week: David Axelrod, Obama campaign senior adviser; Reince Priebus, Republican National Committee Chairman; Nicolle Wallace, Republican strategist; Melody Barnes, former Obama policy adviser; Ann Coulter, conservative commentator; Jorge Ramos, Univision anchor; Robert Reich, former Clinton Labor Secretary
Fox News Sunday: Robert Gibbs, Obama campaign adviser; Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker
CNN’s State of the Union with Candy Crowley: Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL); Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC); Rep. Mike Rogers (R-MI); Whit Ayres, pollster; Anna Greenberg, pollster; Susan Page, USA Today; Ron Brownstein, National Journal

Has the IRS reported to DOJ yet on the content of their prayers?

If any money changed hands for weapons, wanna bet said reimbursements were in the form of campaign donations? Now that would truly be the end to end all ends!

Sooo… Obama, Holder and Clinton; who are the other two guys? Oops, my bad, I meant James Rosen, Sharyl Atkisson, Major Garrett – who are the other two?

Why should these guys worry? They’ve been laughing in public for almost a year now.

Why doesn’t al Jazeera or some other Arabic company interview these guys and find out what really happened?
At this point I think al Jazeera’s word on this is no more or less reliable than that of this fascist administration.

If the CIA was trying to recover arms, or the STate Dept. wanted it as an outpost, all I can say is…so what? Somebody should have protected them!
Surely, Hillary didn’t deny protection to teach the CIA a lesson, did she?

Ya know, I would just rather this administration just SHUT UP rather than continuing to open their mouths and spew shi’ite at me, believing I am completely stupid.
We have video / pictures of guys carrying AK-47s and rocket launchers. They have video / pictures of guys dragging Stevens through the Street. Several of the perpetrators went on THEIR version of ‘Oprah’ & THEIR ‘Sunday Talk Shows’ after this attack. we KNOW who they are – some of them. We have a cell at Gitmo just waiting for them…what we DON’T have is a President who is NOT an ‘Islamic Extremist Sympathizer’ & who is willing to protect American lives.
As President, Obama armed Mexican Drug Cartels who used those weapons to wipe out towns, kill men/women/children, & kill a U.S. Border Patrol Agent – 300+ and counting. He protected the Ft. Hood terrorist by calling his attack on troops prepping to deploy a case of ‘work-place violence’. He practically handed Stevens & the other Americans over to Al Qaeda as a sacrifice by asking THEM to ‘protect’ him, by ignoring 2 previous terrorist attacks, by refusing to provide additional security over & over again, & by betraying/abandoning Americans who fought for their lives for 7-8 hours while waiting for help that never came!
Whether it is our lives or our Constitutional Rights, this President has preyed upon, attacked, & sacrificed anything/everyone again and again to push his agenda & protect his ‘friends’.

All me & my friends need to ‘prosecute’ them is a good set of coordinates! :)
