My e-ltr to MSRNC about wingnut tool Nora O'DONNELL
Nora O'DONNELL appears to act as a Republican operative, coloring her "reporting" with rosy punditry on the topic of BUSH. Today in her hosting of Hardball, she spouted wingnut talking points throughout, constantly turning every Republican dilemma into the tangent of "divided Democrats" and confronting the slight Democratic guests with the Fox News formula, "some people say". She mocked George McGOVERN as a symbol of Democratic military weakness, apparently not knowing that he was decorated for WW II military service.

We don't need more punditry, especially from so-called "reporters".

1. Republicans hate US veterans who served honorably
Edited on Tue Jun-20-06 06:45 PM by SpiralHawk
so q republicon propaganda tool like O'donnell trashing WW II honorable VET McGovern is nothing new.

That's the way the CONS are.

No repub leader -- or Big Name Propagandist like Limbaugh, Hannity or O'Reilly ever served America for even one day. They are all cowardly chickenhawks -- like Dick "Five Deferments" Cheney -- and they are sending our sons and daughters off to fight for their fat-cat Oil Profits.

Then the repubs TRASH anyone who served honorably in the Armed Forces.

Only a clueless dweeb would vote for the republicon chickenhawks

3. Randi noted this yesterday: "Cut and run" is exactly what they did
It's "projection" (psychological term) -- they point out in others the very thing they most loathe in themselves. ALL of these jokers "cut and ran" when their numbers came up during the Vietnam era, so now they smear those who DID serve in order to project attention away from their own shortcomings. It's so obvious that it's becoming laughable ... except it seems to work to keep these bastards in office and that's tragic.

7. Nora O'Donnell: CUT AND RUN.
CUT her mike and RUN her off the air. She is no longer a GOP pundit, she is an un-abashed GOP/Bu$h/war cheerleader.
