What effect does CNN's Crossfire have on you?

[SeveneightyWhoa]

When you watch Crossfire, what does it do to you?
Does it grate on your nerves? Piss you right off?
Does it entertain you? Or does it bore the piss out of you?

1. Sedates and pisses

I hate Novak and Tucker, but at least Begala and Carville arn't like Colmes.

2. Raises my blood pressure

Can't stand the snotty Tucker and Nofacts spitting, slurring, and slobbering. Ick!

3. I Prefer Drunken Crossfire

I prefer "Drunken Crossfire" on The Man Show (I think that's it).

4. I haven't watched it much recently, but...

James Carville and Paul Begala are always entertaining, though the fun has worn off a little. I tend to find that Novak and Carlson are pretty weak in arguing for their side.

Unlike some people on this forum, I find that CNN is pretty balanced on most issues. At least tries to present a fair view of current events and it allows the viewer to make up their own minds.

The right-wing folks tend to hate what they call the Commie News Network.

5. It's stupid and is a sad commentary on American political maturity.

I can't watch. It is scripted idiocy.

6. Even James won't force Tucker to stop interrupting!

I won't watch, and I could be in the audience every day (it's on my way home), until Dems make the repukes shut up when it's not their turn to speak.

7. Pisses me off

8. I love the show. Tucker and Begala are a treat.

If there is a smart, reasonable side to the GOP's arguments, Tucker usually has them. It's when Tucker occasionally runs out of arguments that we realize the GOP really has nothing to go on, because Tucker, snotty or not, usually has a good grip on the best GOP arguments. Meanwhile, Begala is the essential progressive liberal. The man has a great sense of humor and speaks and argues brilliantly.

When these two are on the show, I have to watch it.

James has good arguments, but he just gets too incredibly angry. Not to mention he never listens to anyone. And I don't even know where to start with Novak, who's representation of the right is probably as damaging to the GOP as Tucker is helpful.

9. Tucker Carlson

Yeah, for a Conservative, I kind of like him. He has a good sense of humor (evidenced with the whole Hillary/shoe-eating business).

Besides, I think he is more of a libertarian - he seems very much against the government coming into our bedroom. It is easier to respect Conservatives who complain about the government taking our tax money when they also oppose the government restricting our reproductive freedom and free speech.

Novak on the other hand - ew! When Begala was talking about the lack of funding for police Novak's only response was that the Democrats wanted more Union members to vote Democrat.
