Are any of you watching this spectacle on Hannity and Colmes?

[Zuni]

Those Marines parents, the ones that hugged that Iraqi woman, are either the most deluded parents ever, or being paid handsomly by the Bush administration.

It was disgusting. This dead man's parents went to the SOTU speech to "ease the pain of Bush".

This whole thing is fishy!

[Politicub]

1. It's clearly a PR stunt

People eat it up like candy.

[Zuni]

9. I felt sick

The fact that hannity went out of his way to get everyone to say that it was not staged only proved to me that this was a well rehearsed stage show for Red State freepers

2. Step 1: Turn off the propaganda.

Step 2: Come back to DU :hi:

[Zuni]

4. Sorry---I was lost

I am always here at DU---this is the first place I go on the net besides checking my e-mail

I love it here, especially the lounge :evilgrin:

[NYC Liberal]

5. Is it bad to have the lounge set as my homepage?

:P

[Zuni]

8. No. The Lounge is the best place on the whole World Wide Web

That is my opinion.

3. Ease the pain of Bush?

They said that? So, they not only think he gives a shit, but that he's in pain over it?! That's sickening.

[notadmblnd]

and we thought Ronald Reagan was a good actor.

7. Reagan was sincerity personified compared to the shameless

attempt to play on the public's emotions last night.

Nixon was honorable compared to the filth I saw last night

[Zuni]

6. They said that. Colmes even had to ask them about that

he had to make sure he heard them right.

Then Hannity was asking if they saw President Bush tearing up when the two women hugged. Clearly, he was trying to make sure everyone knew that Bush was "deeply moved".

The whole SOTU was more a staged pep rally than the tradition of a President explaining his policies to the Nation.

It was revolting
:puke:

10. That's truly disgusting.

My mom probably watched it and sucked it up like Hoover. I've watched TV three or four times since November, and I feel great ... or I did, until I read about this.

[JohnnyRingo]

11. I was watching...The History channel has assassins on.

This way all I have to suffer through is character assassination.
It's still ugly, but not as bloody.

Watching Hannity gives me the doctor recommended daily "elevated heart rate" and increases my blood pressure by the same factor as shovelling my drive.

My left arm is getting numb and tingly.

As an aside, I'e read rumor that dem pundits and pols are doing a quiet boycott of Fox appearances.
I've noticed a distinct shortage of "balance" of late, and more non political coverage than usual.
