What did Wolf say about Sen. Obama!

I woke up to see Wolf on my TV Screen saying that he was going to call Sen. Obama and apologize for what appeared/was said on CNN earlier this morning.

What was Wolf talking about.... :puke:

4. That is about as low as it goes

Seems like CNN made a few other "slips" like this in the pass months.

Don't they have a proof reader?!:puke:

8. Is this the same station

where the anchor,lady, went into the bathroom and was taped while she was gossiping with the woman in the next stall?

11. Except that freudian slips are with speech, not a freaking keyboard...
and the fact is that someone else other than the person who typed the text in the graphic saw the graphic before it went on air. Didn't they notice?

And it couldn't have been a simple typing error either, because "s" and "b" are so far apart on a keyboard.

On top of that, it's the very same childish thing that freepers have been trying to mess around with, along with the fact his middle name is Hussein.

They are playing to racist fears of minorities.

22. I just saw this link to another post about the CNN Swift Boaters

IMO,Democrats must really make a loud noise about this, not just because it's OBAMA but because it had to be intentional.

And, if they get away with this they will continue.

If Obama comes on CNN to address it, then they will be able to repeat the clip over and over again.

If he says nothing, they will still talk about it so that other stations pick up the smear.

Someone needs to not have a job and be identified as the one that did it.
Wolf should also be fired because I can't believe he didn't see it first.

I wish the Mods would combine the two threads.

19. I sent CNN an email
and said that Sen. Obama will be forced to accept Blitzer's apology, but I have the luxury of not having to accept their explanation or apology. Somewhere Karl Rove and Candy Crowley are smiling.
