The CNN Controversy

Finally this is getting interesting, I think that he had no idea of what she was planning. But its not his fault that she is a "good secret keeper", as said in a letter by one of her followers. I really cant wait until they start the debates to see what lies the Republicans are going to come up with next.

You cannot expect the truth from a liar... Or the liar's mouthpiece...

drake_mallard and others with opinions that come from no where that is credible,
thought I would let you know that we are not in a republican government right now. Yes our president is but the fact is the house and senate make the laws that he has to follow, he can try vetoing any vote and a majority vote can again override that veto. Everyone so desperately wants change, but we already got it!!!!! When this country voted democrats into the house and senate in 2006!!! So to blame the republicans for our current downfall is ignorant at best!

Hey I hit the wrong Key, I was meaning DUCK & LIE..
Sorry about the mistake

That's all they do is tuck and lie... Bush's people are running the GOP in all areas. Why can't they figure this out. I remember when being a reporter meant more than reading a script.. It meant digging for the truth, and than reporting it. There is no such thing as "The Free Press" any more.. May God save us from the GOP and ourselves...

I think the reason she didn't get an answer is that Campbell Brown made one mistake -- she asked Tucker Bounds that second question about the National Guard. He'd already spent several seconds not answering her first question (which I think was a legitimate one), changing the subject -- first talking about McCain, then talking about Obama. If she'd simply continued asking him to say why he thinks Palin is ready to be CIC, he might've run out of camouflages before the time was up. But when she asked him the second question, he got to use up a bunch of time not answering that one too -- and he knew this very well, which is why he has that smirk on his face as time runs out. But nice try, Campbell -- at least you never gave up before the clock ran out!! And to say that her questions were sexist 'over the line' is simply ridiculous -- another distraction from the truth, which is that Palin is NOT ready to be commander in chief.

They should let Campbell interview Palin directly and in the same fashion. Let them try to accuse her of being "sexist" then.

WOW, This reporter is right... The Gov. doesn't comand any National Guard, they can request their use in some areas. McCain's spokesman should know better... Wait, isn't this the same guy that made the statement this election isn't about Issuses...DUH!!!

please don't have another Republican government, though lets face it if Obama wins he will just get shot!

What a loser

With 48 responses I expected more from that interview. What was that? Sure he could have done better at answering the question but...what a dumb question...asking for a specific decision she made concerning the National Guard? We all know the only candidate with any sort of military experience is McCain. But again, what kind of answers are we looking for? Palin stands for many of the same issues as conservative America, that is why she is the VP, and yeah being a woman doesn't hurt the tickets chance at obtaining more women voters. Big deal, it's politics, and politcs have been all show since we started forming parties.

Are we to believe the Obama has more experience than Biden to be at the top of the ticket? Are we? Of course not. He's just more marketable. Palin is a very marketable VP for the Repubs.

It just shows that Republicans are hiding the truth from the American people that this Palin person has no experience in leading our country whatsoever! Besides, this is no time for a Miss Congeniality contest McCain!

SHE GAVE IT TO U BABY....LOLOLOL

HAHAHAHA....this is as funny as asking people about what Obama has done that would make him fit to be President.

Same floundering.

It's amusing. No one could ever give three things he's done/accomplished that would make him a good pick.

Idiot Republican white boy...that's what HE is

Govenor Palin does not deploy Guard troops! The state guards have more Federal Authorities too answer as far as deployments. Now if a crisis with-in her state like a flood or quake happened. She would go too the Federal authorties and request X-Amount of troops for a Region or a city. She, has no-kind of exsperience or leadership roll's as far as the military or our world standings. she still has too comvence me that her and McCain are for a change, rather than keeping Bush- policy's in place for yet another 4 more yrs.

I wish Cambell, baby, would be so tough on the community organizer.

None of the canidates have deploy national guard, because they are all Senators, except Palin.

Palin pretty much knocked this idiot line of questioning out of the box. I know you don't see it that way, but I can promise you that the American People see this all in a very clear light.

ASKING IF SHE IS READY TO LEAD ON DAY ONE IS NOT SEXIST AT ALL, IS THE OPPOSITE, IT'S A LEGITIMATE QUESTION THAT ALL SHOULD BE ABLE TO ANSWER.

Type in"The criminal high cabal" I do not believe it is a conspiracy theory. It is common knowledge that Prescott Bush was a NAZI supporter and a member of the skull and bones.

way to stay on the message Tucker! sarcasm, people....

This is ridiculous when voting for the people meant to lead the country they should answer the peoples' questions so you know what your voting for. he's trying to dictate that people should vote solely on the personalities of the presidents and ignore the VP, who in fact is a very important part of the ballot and VPs have been known to hold office for a year or two. for example after JFK was assassinated Lyndon B. Johnson was an unelected President for two years.
There should be rules on dodging questions. its almost as though having interviews with these guys is pointless.

He was hoping she'd spank him like Palin does.

loves it

This was great, Campbell Brown spanked that azz, Tucker Bound - stuttering idiot "Priceless"

nbc wasted good talent when brown worked there. she is at her full potential on cnn. you go girl.

So are you all registered in your country to vote? If you are opinioned enough on here, you should sign up today! In my county you can register for your ticket to be automatically mailed to you every time you need to vote for your county! Its sweet.

That was great to see. She really showed the audience how he was refusing to answer very good questions. If only we could see this kind of coverage more often!

That was a phenomenon that Campbell actually hounded that lying bastard and showed what the McCain campaign is all about, character attacks, and NOT focusing on the issues.

Damn does Tucker Bound bring his panties when Campbell Brown whips his ass royally.

Republicans love to attack, but boy do they get upset when someone turns it back on them.

So attacking Palin is sexist. What have Republicans done to Hillary for years. Rove was a pro and so have been his pupplets.

this is such a dead on example of how the Republicans are running this campaign--indicative of how they would run the country too.

they have neither a platform nor basis for decisions that they are willing to share with the American people, and so the only thing they can come up with is to point the finger back at Obama. Their ability to actually address an issue is comparable to juveniles bickering on the playground

if they were to divulge their actual reasoning behind choosing Palin, most Americans would be appalled, so instead they counter with finger pointing and baseless accusations...pathetic

Palin is fucking shitte.

And fuck McCain.

This is the core issue. John MCain promised a V.P. that would be ready to be President on day one, and then has put our country into peril with his decision motivated by political short term results with the pick of Sarah Palin.

What was so difficult for Tucker Bounds to acknowledge, to answer a simple question that Campbell posed? Can anyone answer that for me?

It's OVER THE LINE to question the security of our country?!?!?!?!

attacking palin like that? SEXIST. in all seriousness, i loved watching her turn ol' tucker to a stuttering mess.

Tucker Bounds just got OWNED!!!!

what's this, the so called "liberal" media showing some spine?
