CNN to Team with Google for Next GOP Debate
by Scott Ott for ScrappleFace · 10 Comments
(2007-11-29) — After the success of last night’s CNN/YouTube debate, the Cable News Network today announced that for the next Republican presidential debate it would also team with YouTube’s parent company, Google, to do background research on the questioners.

“We were excited to learn about Google this morning,” said the CNN source. “We want to introduce this amazing service to the rest of America. Our viewers will be stunned to learn that you can just enter a name in a little box and press a button to get all of this information.”

Among the videos submitted by ordinary Americans for last night’s intramural GOP scrimmage were questions from supporters of Democrat presidential candidates Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, John Edwards and from a union activist for the United Steel Workers, which has endorsed Mr. Edwards.

CNN’s Anderson Cooper, who moderated the debate, apologized because the network was not aware that many of the other questioners had “no legitimate connection with the Democrat National Committee or its affiliates.”

“Now that we know about Google,” said Mr. Cooper, “we can do a better job of screening to make sure that Democrats are represented more adequately.”

(this is a joke) but not the intent.

They also load up web boards too

I find it odd that on the different sites I go to (Porsches, VW, vintage bikes, BMX, ect) there seems to be people turning up in the OT area who do nothing than bash President Bush and Republicans and have no connection (no Porsche, VW, HD, BMX bike, ect) and have no posting any where else in the site

That article on Scrappleface is a joke but the Dems did load up the debate with their people.

Anyone catch the interview with the St. Petersburg "viewers" after the debate last night? What a total bunch of imbeciles. I don't think they could have picked a dumber bunch of people to interview about the debate. No solid rationales given for opinions, no critical analysis, just "oh, I thought his hair was bad" and "I just didn't like Romney" and other crap based on nothing and which contributed absolutely zero to one's understanding or analysis of the debate. The interview was so bad I had to turn it off in disgust.

The thought that my vote carries only the same weight as one from one of these f*cktards who might as well be picking them out of a hat is irritating to say the least.

-Dude, there is no monopoly of common sense on EITHER side of the political fence. It's all marketing-

There are attack bunnies on both sides of the aisle. So what else is new? Indignation by one side today and idnignation by the other tomorrow.

What a holocaust.

A Hillary supporter asked a question! OMG!

How could that have happened?

Why can't they require a signed loyalty oath like the Repubs do at their speeches?

Seric · 11-29-2007, 03:21 PM

What really needs to happen is this;

Presidential Candidates all meet at a celestial body of water, say, Lake Woebegone. A divine woman rises from the water holding a shimmering scimitar. She will levitate said sword and then hurl it at the hopefuls. But only one will be able to catch this sword without harm. This my freinds, will determine Supreme Executive Power.

I heard it in a movie once.

Moneyguy1 · 11-29-2007, 03:25 PM

Tech....

You are baiting us here. You already know the answer.

Hillary supporters and other "liberals" are not loyal to anything. Therefore, how could they possibly sign a loyalty oath? They believe that individual freedom is somehow contrary to the goals of the society. Liberals and Democrats will be the death of this country. They do not understand that certain freedoms have to be curailed in order to guarantee our freedom!! They do not understand that less govenment actually requires the system to increase in size. The fools......

Ignorance is Strength

War is Peace

Freedom is Slavery

Now....Which basic political philosophy in the USA believes most strongly in the above?

God....that felt good.........

lendaddy · 11-29-2007, 03:33 PM

All it does is confirm the CNN liberal bias, nothing new.

The questions they chose had nothing to do with the issues we as Republicans want asked in order to decide our candidate, they were chosen to make the party look bad.

"What does the Confederate flag mean to you?"

"Gays in the military"

"Do you believe ever word in the Bible"

etc....

These are not questions from Republicans looking for real answers, these are setup questions. Par for the course.

Shaun @ Tru6 · 11-29-2007, 03:41 PM

most of the questioners were caricatures of Republicans. if you brought a Democratic political cartoonist's work to life, you would have gotten the debate last night.

Sadly, many of the candidates fit right in.

That Huckabee fellow sure is Presidential, what with his well-thought out and measured responses. too bad he's a Liberal.

Rearden · 11-29-2007, 03:43 PM

Imagine a Fox News / YouTube debate for Democrats, where Republican operatives pretended to be Democrats and asked questions designed to embarrass the candidates and/or party.

First, it would be above-the-fold in the New York Times.
Second, weenie would have started the thread of outrage, rather than sarcastically call it a "holocaust".

Moneyguy1 · 11-29-2007, 03:44 PM

len...Some of the questions may really be set-ups, but I thought the question about the Bible to be very interesting. There are legions of Evangilists and Fundamentalists who tend toward the Republican POV and they DO believe hat every word in that Book is divinely inspired and is the absolute truth. These people want to be assured that their candidate believes as they do. I see nothing wrong with theircommittment to ther beliefs, but I do question its relevance to politics.

The Confederate flag is very important to many in the South. My son-in-law is a Republican and has the flag displayed in his office (He is in business for himself). Therefore there is a relevance to many re: this icon of the South. It is the PC that has said this is somehow insulting to a certain segment of the public. Strangely, many things are an insult to some segment of society. When do we stop being so whiny and just accept each others differences?

What questions would you and other Republicans want to be answered? What do you want in a candidate? Which stands are the most important? Do any of the candidates live up to the expectations of the basic Republican? How can any single candidate meet all the requirements of such a diverse group?

March 10, 2007
LAS VEGAS, Nevada (CNN) -- A Nevada Democratic presidential debate that was to have been co-hosted by Fox News Network was canceled by organizers, in part because of a joke by Fox Chairman and CEO Roger Ailes about presidential contender Sen. Barack Obama.

Democrats canceled the debate Friday. They said a comment by Ailes during a Thursday night speech to a group of radio and television news directors indicated the network was biased against their party.

"It's true that Barack Obama is on the move," Ailes said, deliberately confusing the Illinois senator's name with that of terrorist leader Osama bin Laden. "I don't know if it's true President Bush called [Pakistan President Pervez] Musharraf and said, 'Why can't we catch this guy?' "

Even before Ailes' remarks, there was intense pressure from the liberal group MoveOn.org to cancel the August event as part of its boycott of Fox.

Ailes has served as a campaign adviser to Republican candidates, including former Presidents Reagan and Bush.

Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards dropped out of the debate Thursday, citing, in part, Fox's participation.

Fox News Vice President David Rhodes responded to the debate cancellation with a written statement saying MoveOn.org owns the Democratic Party.

Sad, but true.

Who owns the Republican party?

It is a fair question........

"Owns", is of course, hyperbole. The Evangelical Christian Right could be the equivalent for the Republican Party, unfortunately.

I don't think they do, they may think they do, but I keep telling these people if it came down to a battle between the Muslims and them, they are in deep sh=t. They can pray but the other side will kill.

True.

When I worked at the RNC (ok, it was a while ago), I never saw the slightest hint of religion in the building or at any event or on amy employees' desks. Not one iota. The biggest donors and fundraisers there had nothing to do with the religious right. I have no idea as to all their personal beliefs, but I honestly never saw a hint of it there and I definitely ran in those circles in those days. The largest donors and fundraisers were usually self-made gazillionaires and their spouses. We always said that those guys' money was what kept the lights on in the bldg., but the real money that went to campaigns were the countless checks for $25-$50-$100 from the grassroots activists. That's where the real money comes from. Now, I can speculate that a lot of those folks are hardcore pro-life, church-going folks. And their money made up the bulk of the party's money. But they weren't the people who got phone calls from the chairman or who voted at the committee meetings or decided which campaigns got how much money from the party.
