Don Lemon of CNN is great

[ruggerson]

Too bad he doesn't have more air time.

1. He admitted on-air that he was the victim of a pedophile.....Pretty brave.

2. I've always thought he was very smart and very authentic

as you said, he's also courageous.

[applegrove]

5. Good for him.

9. Jesus Christ!! On the air? Right on tv? Where people could see him say that?

That's not just brave, that's been a leader!!!

[malaise]

15. Yep he's brave

but those three morons needed a shock.

[ruggerson]

16. They did have a kind of

"Stepford kid" quality to their demeanor. But, they're young, hopefully they will grow out of this tragic brainwashing they've been subjected to.

3. He is one of the few on cnn I've always thought was authentic, so

I agree.

:hi:, ruggerson. :hug:

[ruggerson]

4. It would be great if he had a nightly show during the week

I can think of a few CNN'ers I would replace :) :hug:

[tishaLA]

6. That was incredibly powerful

He helped so many people tonight by discussing this openly and honestly.

[ruggerson]

8. I agree - he's a pretty extraordinary guy

[burning rain]

7. Saw that. Brave admission on his part, & impressive.

Despite his aplomb, he was clearly dismayed by the largely unblinking devotion of the congregants he interviewed.

11. i wonder if he experienced that type of reaction when he was abused

from certain types. he says the accusations were familiar in what the abuser did. but the reaction of those brain washed and defend the abuser might have been familiar to him also.

he might not have admitted to what happened to him if those 3 had talked in a more normal way .

10. Don Lemon is my favorite - has been for a LONG time. We were on the road and didn't see this -

but - major kudos to Mr. Lemon for his courage and strength.
