- iching, on 04/20/2008, -17/+134ABC gets it, they just don't care, except to push their corporate dumbing down America agenda
- killbert24, on 04/20/2008, -14/+126I have just one question. Does ABC believe in the American flag?
- inactive, on 04/20/2008, -6/+109Senator Obama, you received change from a toll booth operator in 1987 who then 3 years later went on to murder his family.
Why did you kill that family?
/ABC News - inactive, on 04/20/2008, -8/+94Senator Obama, When you were only 5 years old, you told another small girl you loved her, you then a few hours later you went on to throw a chocolate sundae in her face and say you hated her.
Do you think your temper is a problem, and this incident reflects you emotional instability?
/ABC News - chrissku, on 04/20/2008, -21/+100I say we hit em again.

Obama got such an easy pass on the fact that he doesn't wear a mother ***** flag pin on his jacket. WOOOOO way to go ABC!! The truth shall set us free!!!
- hedwigg, on 04/20/2008, -4/+64I really hate the term "blogosphere".
- monroylobo, on 04/20/2008, -5/+62ABC lost my viewership too; I think I'll stick with Fox News and The Onion for my in-depth reporting!
- forgiste, on 04/20/2008, -3/+42Well excuse us for wanting the damn Pennsylvania Debate to be about actual issues that affect the American people, instead of just a bunch of mindless mudslinging.
- forgiste, on 04/20/2008, -4/+33Tough questions? I would think that the tough questions would be about ACTUAL issues, not a bunch of childish bickering.
- Isileth, on 04/20/2008, -8/+35The people who are saying "Obama got a few tough questions and cant handle it" etc are missing the point.
I want to know what all the candidates plan to do and how they plan to go about it.
The problem was they didnt get asked tough questions. They got asked pointless questions that tell me nothing about the candidates and their policies. The sort of questions that dont help anyone make an informed decision.
Its not that I support or dont support any of the candidates, its that I want to know exactly who the candidates are, and you dont get that with silly questions. They need to be asked direct questions on the important issues. Thats the only way to find out what exactly a candidate stands for. - inactive, on 04/20/2008, -5/+30Senator Obama, it was recently revealed you are related to Vice President Dick Cheney.
Does this mean your true name is Luke Sky Walker? And how can Americans trust a star fighter?
/ABC News - chrissku, on 04/20/2008, -15/+39ABC lost my business. I can get the same news on Hillaryclinton.com so there is no need to watch it on ABC.
- bluevillage, on 04/20/2008, -3/+26ABC doesn't have the time to read through and calculate the percentage of how many were negative vs. "praise," as they said. But what are the odds that they'd receive 20K comments on a debate?
- corybantic, on 04/20/2008, -1/+23They've been deleting comments like crazy. There would be way over 20K if they didn't keep deleting comments. I watched the board for about half an hour last night and saw around 15 comments disappear. Many of them were comments about disappearing comments. All of them were completely inoffensive.
When I went to bed last night, the # of comments was 19.867. When I woke up this morning, it was 19,850. When I just checked a moment ago, it was 19,831. - cranium, on 04/20/2008, -3/+25"tough questions"? Pfft. I'm amazed they didn't grill him for riding on the same airplane as a guy who tore the tags off his pillows.
- darwinwins, on 04/20/2008, -7/+27It wasn't a mixed bag - not the way that you or ABC are conveying - the overwhelming majority are saying it was awful. A mixed bag implies that the responses were about an even balance betwixt the positive and negative.
- chrissku, on 04/20/2008, -5/+23Where the f**k is Hillary's flag pin? Funny nobody has asked her that.
- Cattywampus, on 04/20/2008, -1/+15Forget the email "carpet bombing" -- it will be seen for the mass-produced spam that it is.
Better to actually call them on the phone. Even if you just leave a recorded message, it shows that you're concerned enough to actually pick up the phone and call. Everybody's seen mass emailed messages with multiple addresses filled in; I don't think ABC or anyone else would take those kind of mass mailings seriously. - Pherdnut, on 04/20/2008, -2/+16But you're missing the point. It's only the media indulging in them that makes them relevant.
- AdmiralAcbar, on 04/20/2008, -1/+14... Does anyone not from the US find their politics to be extremely boring and overdramatic?
- Aensland, on 04/20/2008, -2/+15Haw! Congratulate ABC on "tough questions"? Tough? More like utterly irrelevant *****. Do you even read what you're spewing?
- bobbarkerbilly, on 04/20/2008, -6/+19IBD is trash. I have to read it a couple times a week at work so I can safely say I know the paper.
Once, on a single page, was an anti-Obama article, pro-Iraq war article and a giant picture of the WTC getting hit by an airplane. - casuallyevil, on 04/20/2008, -23/+36It WAS a mixed reaction - yeah, blogs, Digg, and message boards were all over it, but the WSJ and Investors Business Daily both gave it a thumbs up. I'm not trying to pretend like their editorial pages are politically neutral, but neither is Crooksandliars. If you want to differentiate the candidates, you can't baby them and lob them softball questions - we all know the country and the world won't give them the same courtesy once they're in office.
- johnhummel, on 04/20/2008, -5/+17I hate it when private companies who have to get a license from the FCC that includes the proviso that they will serve the public interest instead piss all over us and try to sell it as lemonade.
- beguiledfoil, on 04/20/2008, -2/+14Step 1: Call your opponent "fag"
Step 2: Fail - Disgod, on 04/20/2008, -1/+13Wow news agencies are a pack of cannibals. One slip and you're getting your throat ripped out. ABC does deserve it sort of, but it's not like any other American News agency hasn't been guilty of similar practices, just in a different format and time period. The ABC debate was just one large concentrated dose of bad journalism, rather than spread out over weeks and months. I hope that the news agencies will finally reflect on their behavior over the last decade, and actually choose to start reporting real issues after this, but somehow I doubt it.
- Spudster, on 04/20/2008, -1/+12I think a more relevant question is: Does anyone care that there are little to no major differences between the policy positions of Clinton and Obama?
- inactive, on 04/20/2008, -1/+12Well, you're right. And like Jon Stewart said - unless that woman was asking whether he believed it existed, on a molecular level, then yes, she was questioning his patriotism! What an unbelievably stupid question.
- Pherdnut, on 04/20/2008, -6/+16Talk to your local ABC news people. Be polite. Tell them it's nothing personal but you have to stop watching ABC now and why. I wrote the General Manager here in Chicago and she sent me her phone number. I have some consume magazine journalism creds so that may have helped but I plan on calling her on Monday. Still looking for a decent Disney contact.
- mainely, on 04/20/2008, -2/+11Senator Clinton - I hope you had a nice day. //Charlie Pompous Gibson
- headzoo, on 04/20/2008, -0/+9Yes. And one of them is a born leader, and she isn't. Issues don't count for much if you can't persuade people to put your words into action.
- ggnictee, on 04/20/2008, -5/+14Hey that's not fair! It's really biased and small minded of you to lump those two organizations together. One is a legitimate news organization the other is Fox.
(Oh, someone had to make the joke) - pintomp3, on 04/20/2008, -8/+17WSJ? the one that rupert murdoch just bought? ya don't say. and IBD regularly tries to deny global warming. those two are hardly neutral sources.
- bagelmaster, on 04/20/2008, -0/+9But I HAVE to know this one thing: Does Obama believe in the American flag? What? Plans to get out of Iraq and recover our ***** economy? Nah, ***** that. Does he believe in a silly piece of cloth that so many people seem to almost worship? I MUST KNOW
- hutectro, on 04/20/2008, -9/+17ABC is a terrible network they asked really stupid questions
Charlie and George should be wearing Mickey Mouse Hats with floppy big ears
sense ABC is owned by Walt Disney and of course they are a family channel. - stretch611, on 04/20/2008, -1/+9Dugg up for providing a cut and paste at the bottom with all email addresses...
- Burrito, on 04/20/2008, -3/+10Where did you find that avatar of the fat retarded kid?
- stretch611, on 04/20/2008, -1/+8Bush's failure to show up for his national guard service is an issue of character. And after years of not having someone with any moral character in the white house, Obama will be a refreshing change.
- inactive, on 04/20/2008, -2/+9So when does the part without people dying start?
- inactive, on 04/20/2008, -2/+9"Obama made it an issue."
Link? - stretch611, on 04/20/2008, -1/+8Sure they received praise. From everyone on the far right and their corporate masters at Disney. Heck, the GOP might even extend copyright on Mickey Mouse to 250 years for the job that ABC did.
- purag66, on 05/13/2009, -0/+6No. I don't believe so. At least not on a molecular level...
- inactive, on 04/20/2008, -0/+6That would be an assumption not instinct.
- inactive, on 04/20/2008, -0/+6"Having close ties to a domestic terrorist is just another distraction, right?"
You do realize you come off as the real ***** here, right?
OH NOES THE WEATHER UNDERGROUND HOW CAN I EVER FEEL SAFE IF HIPPIES ARE DOING STUPID ***** ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES?!??! - DRINKxREDxBULL, on 04/20/2008, -1/+7Free speech is bitch, isn't it? Sometimes it means that people you don't like say things you don't want to hear.
- alexandramw, on 04/20/2008, -0/+6Um they didn't really talk about policy at all... When is whether you wear an American flag on your suit policy? Is that little pin going to solve health care, bring us out of Iraq or even cut C02 emissions? NO!!! and by the way, Hillary wasn't wearing one either.
- mrfunktastic, on 04/20/2008, -4/+10Flag pin = pointless manufactured distraction. Really means a lot of nothing. Seems to mean a lot to easily distracted people however. Shiny objects, and whatnot.
- Cattywampus, on 04/20/2008, -1/+6If you want overdramatic, look to Europe: there were controversies over the fact that the German ex-chancellor died his hair; that the Italian ex-PM has supposedly had cosmetic surgery, etc.
Sarkozy and Putin like to have photos of themselves bare-chested published in the newspaper so they can show their virility.
Speaking of Sarkozy, how about his galavanting around the pyramids with supermodel girlfriend (now wife)? Now THAT's overdramatic, to me. - inactive, on 04/20/2008, -2/+7I'll spin it like a pin doesn't determine my vote. Thanks for the approval.
