Obama adviser Susan Rice shows Dems how to handle FOX

[DogPoundPup]

Barack Obama's Senior Foreign Policy adviser, Susan Rice, handled Laura Ingraham today 6/18/08 on Just In, making her points, insisting on finishing her thoughts, and exposing Ingraham as not very serious or informed beyond the right-wing talking points. For showing how it should be done, Susan Rice is Top Dog.
With video.

Ingraham was in full modus interruptus, defending George Bush and the Iraq war and cheering the success of the surge. She resorted to asking the always lame "Do you want to win in Iraq?" which Rice answered perfectly. I feel safer already, with smart, rational people like her on Obama's team.

1. Excellent!

[bookman]

2. She did a nice job.

But oh how I hate Fox.

Win? What?

And then the Club Med line...man, they just don't get it.

[greyl]

3. Wow, Susan Rice is awesome. nt

[hokies4ever]

4. Susan Rice also did well on Morning Joe Wednesday morning

I knew she was a brilliant lady, but she was absolutely unbelievable! :patriot:

[TTUBatfan2008]

6. She kicks ass...

[ladjf]

14. I agree that she did well on the Joe show. However, she was

weak on the argument "There haven't been any other attacks since 9-11".

That silly Republican talking point needs to be attacked.

In the first place, the 9-11 event happened on Bush's watch, despite the fact that there was ample
warning.

Secondly, the U.S. is still spiraling downward as a result of first attack. There would be no reason to launce another.

The Republican argument the Bush administration has prevented another attack is based on the old
joke about the absent Elephants,i.e."since I put two cats in my backyard, there have been no elephants. Therefore, my cats are effective deterrents to elephants."

26. not only that, but

If the last attack on the US was in 93, then if (and I am LIHOP MIHOP, so a big IF) we were attacked in 2001, then we should not expect another attack til about 09.

And if * and his cohorts were actually worried about an attack, surely they would have placed our National Guardsmen at our own borders rather than to ship them off to attack another country that obviously had nothing to do with 9/11.

* has created thousands (perhaps hundreds of thousands) more potential terrorist.

[EstimatedProphet]

36. One thing though:

Remember anthrax? that was a terrorist attack, and nto one damn thing has been done about it.

[Cha]

38. I agree and since it's the truth..it

has staying power. bushco was asleep at the wheel and let 9/11 happen and little rudy of New York holds a huge responsibility in not having the proper radios for Rescue and putting the command center in the Twin Towers.

August 6, 2001 Memo would not have gone unnoticed by Al Gore. He wouldn't have gone on vacation..but then his poll numbers wouldn't have been down.

5. Hats off to Susan Rice.

!

[blogslut]

7. I dig her

She's unflappable and she knows her stuff. She sure didn't let Ingraham bully her.

[HardWorkingDem]

8. I wasn't that impressed and here's why....

I was impressed with Susan Rice, but what is not impressive to me is when Dems go on Faux and end up playing by their rules. What I want to see or hear of is the Obama campaign tell those bastards over there that THEY need the Dems more than the Dems need them and if their hosts want to play this idiotic game of interrupting guests and not letting them answer, then the Dems will stick with the big three, CNN, PBS and MSNBC.

FauxNews needs to be pushed out into the wilderness.

[thoughtcrime1984]

9. That Ingraham is a a piece of sh*t, to put it nicely.

Rice, when allowed to even get in a word edgewise, handled her with ease. Why is it that these neo-cons need to shout and use boorish behavior to try to make their ill-conceived points? Sheesh. Good work, Susan Rice!

[a kennedy]

12. I agree a huge piece of sh*t.....

even the sound of her voice grates me. :mad: :puke: :grr: :thumbsdown:

[Lochloosa]

17. They learned it from the master. Hannity.

[SDJay]

21. It's their only option

These nuts got to power by doing this, as in my opinion the 'scream from the pulpit' approach caught people's attention earlier in this decade. Granted, most of those whose attention was caught were and are fucking idiots who yearn for their 'news' in 10-second sound bytes so they don't have to actually (gasp) read or think, so at first it wasn't a foolish approach, as much as I hate it personally.

Now, these fools have no other choice. Reasonably debating anyone in this regard on the issues would be a nationally-televised de-pantsing, so they stick to the scream/interrupt/accuse/inflame approach to try to get the actual smart people off point. As horribly grating as it was to watch this moron try to hang with Rice, in a way it's satisfying to watch a minority coalition of whack jobs slowly and surely lose their grip, their ruinous power over our society and ultimately (and hopefully) their relevance. They know they're circling the drain and that their time in the limelight is done, but no one should expect them to go quietly or to do anything differently than what got them there in the first place. These neo-cons aren't rocket scientists, so to expect them to recognize the big picture isn't realistic, given that they want to believe such 'facts' as Jesus hated gay folks and poor people. Watching them return to their rightful (pun intended on more than one level) place on the outer limits of the lunatic fringe will be as historically positive for our country as any development in quite some time.

10. I'll salute anyone who can listen to Ingraham without ripping off their own ears

I honestly couldn't get through the entire video...Ingraham is just too damn annoying. Kudos to Rice though! From what I did see, she kicked butt.

[iconicgnom]

11. Oh wow, now I love Susan Rice too! What am I going to do, all these beautiful leading voices?

The progressive movement truly has a plethora of smart, healthy, vigorous voices laying down the smack.

[bigdarryl]

13. didn't they just have 60 people blown up in Iraq from an attack.

these rethugs are delusional when talking about Iraq is successful. They have the same old talking point( we are WINNING IN IRAQ) some one needs to ask them what the fuck is winning in Iraq mean and if we are winning as they say then why are our troops still in Iraq

[DeeDeeNY]

15. Laura Ingraham is one disturbing idiot

She yells talking points at Susan Rice, and then tells Rice "I know you have to stick to your talking points!"


:wtf:

[Imagevision]

16. Laura Ingraham, the bitch can't handle people with intelligence & intellect...

[Barack_America]

30. Notice how in her defense of Bush's foreign policy, she made the joke regarding US home prices?

Thus highlighting the Republicans weakness on the economy.

Oh yeah, she's sharp, that one. :eyes:

[Astrad]

18. Do you want to win in Iraq?

A good response to that question for Faux is: "I thought we did win. Five years ago this network was proclaiming victory and making fun of anyone who begged to differ. Were you lying then or just plain wrong?"

[Blue_Roses]

19. well, that's five minutes I'll never get back...

while I like Susan Rice, I cannot stand Laura Ingraham. That was painful to watch...

[Hope And Change]

20. K & R!

[madwivoter]

22. She's a great representative

She stood her ground up against ol' Laura, which is obviously hard work. Half the time she was on, she was trying to finish answering a question or finish making a point, that has to be truly frustrating and Susan Rice handled it with grace.

Thanks for posting.

[last1standing]

23. What a disgusting mound of flesh.

Ingraham's only purpose is to spew whatever talkingpoint the repubs blastfax her that day. Kudos to Susan Rice for standing up so strongly in the face of belligerence.

[Colobo]

24. Susan Rice is beautiful and extremely intelligent.

A pleasure to watch her in action.

[NatBurner]

25. i felt a thrill going up my leg

i'm reeaaally looking forward to susan rice being secretary of state

she handled ingraham like a pro-
i can't wait to see her put a foot in hannitys annoying ass

[Barack_America]

27. She is the shiz-nit. I got to meet her and I totally swooned.

So nice and personable, but hard as freaking nails.

A perfect role model for any professional woman.

Overall, I have been so, so impressed by the women in the Obama campaign.

[JimGinPA]

28. I Started A Thread Yesterday About Seeing Susan Rice On M$NBC & CNN...

And what a great surrogate she is. Thanks for posting this link.

[VADem11]

29. Great on the BBC also

I got a chance to meet her before the VA primary and she was awesome!

[Hamlette]

31. kick

[EnviroBat]

32. Laura Ingraham is a nasally piece of shit.

She's the female version of Hannity. Just another republican, ass-munching propagandist for Fux Noise. Scumbag.

[blondeatlast]

33. Smack. Down. Susan Rice kicked ass on FAUX. Yes, indeed! nt

[bunnies]

34. Dr. Rice is an exceptional woman.

Glad shes on our side!

[dgibby]

35. Rules for Laura

Rule # 1: NEVER book anyone with a higher IQ than you. Rule # 2. Refer to Rule # 1. While this will probably limit your eligible guests to Bush and McSame, you will be less likely to appear so utterly devoid of intelligence!!!

[sandnsea]

37. Susan Rice was one of Kerry's lead surrogates too

Funny nobody noticed her then.

[politicasista]

41. Yep. That's interesting

I remember her from 04. She rocks then and rocks now. :)

[Bread and Circus]

39. Don't mess with Susan Rice, she is sharp as hell.

[uponit7771]

40. Ingram was looking kinda stupid with her montra

[Flying Dream Blues]

42. I've never seen this Laura Ingraham before, but she is clearly in the top ten

Kool-Aid drinkers I've run across, but of course I generally avoid Faux news like the plague. Ingraham's irrational anger is palpable in this "interview." How they can allow this sort of offensive "journalism" is beyond me. Susan Rice did a GREAT job!
