What the fuck does America have to do to get Wolf Blitzer fired ?

[Bombtrack]

he's the shittiest, most spineless, unwatchable "name" anywhere outside of Fox news. Who likes this guy ? I don't think right wingers like him, I know left wingers don't like him, he certainly isn't exciting or entertaining in any sense of the ways those qualities draw in "centrists".

His typical deer-in-headlights response to Jack Cafferty's funny quip asking if Anna Nicole Smith was "still dead" got me to make this thread.

1. You have to fire him yourself by turning him off

and encouraging others to do the same.

[ShortnFiery]

2. Blitzer is pablum and mostly benign, get rid of that racist Glenn Beck?

Glenn Beck spreads jingoistic Nationalism and promotes racial prejudices. IMO, Beck's VOMIT passing as a journalistic news program.

[The Backlash Cometh]

9. Did you hear what Glenn Beck said last week?

He connected the dots and made a liberal conclusion. That our problems in this country stem from the over-influence of multi-national corporations. We have a top-down problem. Get it? He is describing class warfare.

Where we're all looking at the same data, we're all reaching the same conclusions.

[ShortnFiery]

15. Nope, there's AN pro-authoritarian agenda that's scary about

Beck's "talking points" show. He's not on our (The Average American Citizen) side. IMO, he's a budding Gestapo wannabe. :shrug:

[The Backlash Cometh]

16. Pro-authoritarian, anti-muliti-national corp., and, if he's a true right-winger,

anti-government.

I guess that's what it looks like, when you're at war with yourself?

[Bucky]

3. Did Cafferty really say that? Anyway, I agree w/ comment #2. Beck is pond scum, truly horrible.

Blitzer is a little thick, but doesn't openly twist facts. Beck just outright lies. It's appalling he's given a bullhorn.

[Cooley Hurd]

4. Jack's comment was hilarious! Leslie actually looked pissed at him!

:rofl:

I think Leslie's feelings were hurt because both Jack and Lou Dobbs commented on his excessive coverage of ANS's death.

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

10. Cafferty is fearless.

I don't think he much cares if he gets canned, ultimately. I am waiting for him to level his laser targeting pip on Beck. You just know it's coming, eventually.

[bananas]

5. He is embematic of America

To fire Wolf, is to fire America.

[rzemanfl]

6. Leslie is so far down on my list of people who need to lose their

jobs he is not even on the radar. Let's get rid of *, Crashcart, Condilair, Alberto, et al and worry about "personalities" later.

7. two things...

either stop watching him or buy enough stock in whomever owns Turner so as to make the decision yourself...

8. Mike Malloy says he's a Mossad agent and everyone at CNN knows it.

n/t

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

12. Wow.

I guess the Mossad has relaxed its membership rules more than a little.

[The Backlash Cometh]

13. ?

Are we talking about the guy who nailed Dick Cheney with that question about his lesbian daughter?

[ShortnFiery]

14. I'm not quite ready to drink that particular brand of kool aid.

I know that Blitzer worked for Israeli owned papers years before he signed onto CNN, but that may make him pro-Israel but NOT Mossad. I find no connections in this regard, i.e., spy vs. spy. :shrug:

[WinkyDink]

20. Yes, because Mossad is just that transparent. NOT.

[aquaman]

11. Don't watch him..

nt.

[elocs]

17. Wolf Blitzer does not work for America. Pretty simple concept.

Could America get you fired from your job?

[flpoljunkie]

18. Missed it, but found the exchange in the transcript. Priceless!

Cafferty: The country's borders remain unprotected. The ports are unprotected. The department is still suffering a huge, huge public relations black eye and deservedly so for its abject failure during Hurricane Katrina. And who can forget the early advice to us Americans to wrap up our homes with duct tape and plastic sheeting?

There is a silver lining, though. They have gotten very, very good at one thing, that's taking nail clippers away from old ladies at airports. Here's the question. How would you fix the Department of Homeland Security? E-mail your thoughts to [e-mail] or go to CNN.com/CaffertyFile.

Is Anna Nicole Smith still dead, Wolf?

BLITZER: Yes, we're going to -- updating our viewers coming up shortly on...

CAFFERTY: I can't wait for that.

BLITZER: ... the mysterious circumstances surrounding that, Jack. Thank you.

19. Is this a PSEUDONYM...

for Ms. Marcotte? The writing style looks familiar, but the Clark-Obama tag throws me off. Just wondering!
