CNN's Cafferty went after Cynthia McKinney...said she will GO DOWN
and good riddance to her in his opinion.

Didn't anyone send him the video of the Capitol Police saying it was Race Based? Maybe the video is bogus but there's no doubt in my mind that the SWIFT BOATERS aren't after Cynthia.

And, if Al Gore decides to run...watch for Cafferty to "turn" on his "newfound Dem audience" with slurs and Gore jokes about "Love Story" and "Inventing the Internet."

Cafferty was put on CNN to counter the Right Wing balance from Blitzer's ties to Pat Robertson who gave him his first job where he was "cub reporter" for Jerusalem Post in Israel. Blitzter might be an Armageddonist for all I know.... A Jewish Man who worked for Pat Roberson's Libery Network? Maybe he's loyal because they "gave him his first job" but SHEESH! :shrug:

Anyway, Cafferty went after Cynthia...so he's "supporting" whoever went after her and he probably would support those who went after Max Cleland.

We need to start a "Cafferty WATCH" here.

1. Grow the fuck up
How many times has Cafferty been praised of late?

And now, because he disagrees with your assessment of one house member, you decide to start a Cafferty Watch?

How childish can you get?

7. harsh...

McKinney shouldn't go down, maybe, but maybe she will?

3. Cafferty played a pure right wing hack on CNNs morning edition before...

...he got this recent gig playing his new part as an occasional reasonable fellow.

Just because someone praises a certain TV personality around here that doesn't mean someone else has no right to give an opposing opinion.

I don't know where you get off telling someone else to grow up either?

5. C'mon that was uncalled for!
"Grow the f*** up" ????

We are all on the same team. Wanting our fellow Americans to know the truth!

I don't quite agree with having to "watch" Cafferty but the concern is genuine.

The media today is a joke. You never know if he may have been called in to the corporate offices, shown a fistful of freeper complaints and told to "tone the liberal crap down."

4. Well, She Very Well Might Be Going Down.
But I wish I could be more enthusiastic about Johnson. If he takes her, he doesn't appear to be any prize himself.

8. I like McKinney and for more than one reason, no matter what happens.
She's not afraid to speak the truth as she sees it. Her remarks about Bush having the information about the possibility of a 9-11 event showed she'd read the BBC reports or Guardian or whatever English paper she got the info from. I wish more Dems had her courage.

She does the research too and is not afraid to tell it like it is or like it seems to her anyway.

She's onto the voting machines too I think, and that makes her AOK in my book.

Maybe her reaction was unwarranted, but I don't think a white congresswoman would have been treated as she was.

Politics is an ego world and if you don't believe passionately in what you feel is right, you either don't belong in the game or you need to support those who ARE passionate and in the game.

Those of us not in the game should support all the efforts of people to reveal the truth, however crude it seems at the moment. It's the real world and there's a lot of manure out there. You get enough of it in the right place and you can have some beautiful flowers eventually.

9. Cafferty's a right wing shill.
He's very much like Lou Dobbs. He says a lot of right things some of the time and gets a lot of people here excited about him.

And then the covers come off...
