- stormkrow, on 04/17/2008, -10/+245Stephanopoulos was in fact Bill Clintons Campaign manager, probably not the best choice for an unbiased commentator.
- hawkeye17, on 04/17/2008, -14/+183That debate illustrated everything that is wrong with the American media today. Disgraceful on so many levels.
- mCanada, on 04/17/2008, -15/+135Obama made one of the best rebuttals possible to this hit job. This is why you "stay in school"
- sodade, on 04/17/2008, -5/+62What cracked me up was Obama turning it around by bringing up her husband's pardon of 3 of the Weathermen.

- WasabiBomb, on 04/17/2008, -7/+39Yeah, it's a damn shame he didn't come prepared to answer questions on his pastor, his friends, and his ***** LAPEL PIN. Instead, he came ready to answer to such issues as the war and the economy?
What the hell was he thinking?
Oh, right. He was thinking about what it means to be the ***** President of the United States. - kanvas, on 04/17/2008, -8/+36He was a staffer on the Clinton 92 campaign, then served as press secretary for the first few months of the admin before being removed for doing a poor job.
I doubt he was biased in Hillary's favor; he just sucked ass. Then again, maybe the two are synonymous. - inactive, on 04/17/2008, -2/+28Probably one of the most outrageously biased debates I've ever seen on television.
I thought including that analyst at the end who claimed Clinton won (before the debate was even over) was bad... but this is several times worse. - V3n0M, on 04/17/2008, -6/+27Because they're both shills.
- chrissku, on 04/17/2008, -6/+27For those who don't know this about Stephanopolous:
"Prior to joining ABC News, he was a senior political adviser to the 1992 U.S. presidential campaign of Bill Clinton and later became Clinton's communications director."
Yeah... - skertso, on 04/17/2008, -2/+23I hardly think that George could or would be a impartial moderator in any debate and it proved true last night. What exactly was ABC thinking? Oh wait, they obviously WEREN'T thinking. I thought George was a bright enough guy to come up with questions that the American people were interested in hearing the answer to but he and Charlie Gibson wasted nearly half the debate time on nonsense questions that we have heard the answers to MANY MANY times before. Lapel pins, Reverend Wright, Bosnia, etc. WHO CARES? We heard the answers to these questions too many times already. Why did they waste debate time when more important questions about the economy, education, health care, Iraq War and the environment took a back seat. Now here we find that George in particular was spoon fed nonsense questions by a guy like Hannity? What a shameful and sorry excuse for a debate by ABC/Disney.
- morrisonm, on 04/17/2008, -2/+21Treo, I'm assuming you voted for the current bumbling idiot, probably twice.
- Mejari, on 04/17/2008, -0/+18That was the only applause break in the entire debate because people were so happy that Hillary got smacked they couldn't hold back any more.
- mngop, on 04/17/2008, -30/+48I didn't watch the debate, did they determain who'd kill more babies, surrender faster, and raise taxes higher?
- meese, on 04/17/2008, -6/+22I'm just going to dispute your very snide comment: "But without his teleprompter, Barack was out of his element here."
Maybe you should watch his town hall meetings (most of which are broadcast online), in which folks ask him all sorts of questions (mostly policy related, because that's what folks really care about), and he answers them with amazing depth.
I'm sure you won't though, since you seem less interested in actually finding out what he thinks than attacking him.
Now, if you do sit down and watch some of his town hall meetings carefully, listen to what he says, and still don't like him, I'm fine with that. - prometheanspark, on 04/17/2008, -0/+16Yeah, that's probably why Clinton hasn't latched onto that 'scandal', it'll come up in the general election though.
- themanmachine, on 04/17/2008, -0/+15Scientist: [Scientist unfreezes Walt's body] Welcome Back,Mr. Disney
Walt Disney: Are the Jews gone yet?
Scientist: Uhh,no...
Walt Disney: Put me back in!
[Slams the crynogen chamber shut] - iSkylla, on 04/17/2008, -7/+21Please leave. God you truthers are so full of *****.
- pilot3033, on 04/17/2008, -3/+16e-mails sent
- minorthreat, on 04/17/2008, -1/+13wacked out left wing running for president? Why dont you look at Europe if you want to see what being left truly means.
- sgtpppr, on 04/17/2008, -0/+12It's not even the bias that is the huge problem, but the fact that they simply turned the debate into an attempted cage match. They baited and baited with every single non-issue mudslinging tabloid item they could come up with. They were hoping to start a fight on live tv and when it didn't happen, they came off looking like jack asses. This was a disservice to American voters.
- theskyman, on 04/17/2008, -2/+14Stephanopoulos has always been a tool for the media and ABC lost the little respect I had for it last night. What a complete joke! Questions about lapel pins...come on, get real ABC.
- Logisti, on 04/17/2008, -1/+12While I agree that "these questions" are going to come up in the general election, so it's a good idea to see how he holds up now -- the bigger problem I have is that they hammered Obama on each of these nonsensical issues (Bitter, Wright, Flag Pin, Ayers) and then pointed out that poor Hillary was behind on overall time. The subtext seemed to be that greedy, greedy Barack Obama hogging it all.
...and don't even get me started on Hillary's tax plan vs. Barack's and how impartial ABC was on THAT issue. - WasabiBomb, on 04/17/2008, -3/+13Are you seriously alleging that a candidate for the seat of President of the United States has ties to political terrorists? He shouldn't even have had to answer it. That's a stupid, time-wasting question, and you know it.
A "difficult question" would've been something like "What do you propose to do about the looming recession?". You know, something that might matter if he gets elected. Asking him why he doesn't wear a lapel pin is just wasting EVERYONE'S time. - orangedude, on 04/17/2008, -6/+16Gibson ourtright lied in his question regarding the effect of capital gains tax rates on tax revenue. He stated as fact that lower capital gains tax rates were directly linked with increased government revenue. As any economist worth his salt will tell you, this link is dubious at best and any correlation is likely due to the fact that stock sales are often delayed when future cuts in capital gains tax rates are announced. This gives the appearance that revenues increase when capital gains tax rates are reduced when in actuality, they likely result in reduced revenue (as the planned stock sales would mostly take place in any case even at the higher tax rates). Even if you agree with Gibson's position (which many if not most economists would not), to present it as fact is unconscionable.
- meese, on 04/17/2008, -2/+12He may not have been biased (although it's impossible to know what's in his head), but he wasn't a low level staffer - he and James Carville were the two point men for Bill Clinton's campaign, and for his first term in the white house. (Stephanopolous was important enough that he was even fictionalized - he was depicted in "Primary Colors" and later, was used as a basis for characters in "The American President" and "The West Wing".)
- Mejari, on 04/17/2008, -0/+10Actually that's wrong. He didn't kick off his presidential election campaign at that guy's house. the only so-far confirmed connection between the two is that they were both on an anti-poverty board together and he donated $200 to Obama's senate re-election fund.

- SpaceMonkeyZero, on 04/17/2008, -4/+13Off the meds still?
- bgrah449, on 04/17/2008, -0/+9What are you talking about? The 90s had its share of lame-ass haircuts, but his haircut is how men have been doing their hair for like, 40 years. At best, you're in the wrong decade.
- TripleAStacked, on 04/17/2008, -12/+21ABC lost big time
- jabbar, on 04/17/2008, -2/+11Thank god i wasnt the only one that thought that. i had to keep changing the channel because it frustrated me so damn much. charlie gibson was retarded too.
- sqwirl, on 04/17/2008, -2/+11I have a hard time imagining this debate having been any worse had it been moderated by Bill O'Reilly himself. Absolutely shameless.
- postalblowfish7, on 04/17/2008, -18/+26Hey Stephanopoulos, the 90's called. It wants it's lame ass haircut back.
Oh, and this is an abortion of journalism etc... - 41k1d0k4, on 04/17/2008, -14/+22Get Charlie Rose to do a debate. Not some fluffy haired moron like Snufalufagus.
- Dewhead, on 04/17/2008, -0/+8You are correct. All candidates should be equally questioned and scrutinized. If something is incorrect then the truth will come out.
- fani, on 04/17/2008, -7/+15The debate last night was *****. I really wanted Obama to stop this nonsense and say "you called me here to debate this - flag lapels, where someone was in bosnia 10 years ago, what some pastor said ?
Why aren't you asking questions that are real issues - Economy, Healthcare, Guns, Education, Iraq war etc. Oh ! And George and Gibson - where are your flag lapels ? Aren't you unpatriotic in your own words ? "
If only... - BelatedHero, on 04/17/2008, -13/+21Why on earth would Stephanopoulos go on Hannity's radio show??
- crweaks23, on 04/17/2008, -1/+9I like kool-aide... if obama is really giving out kool-aid, i should vote for him to get me some. Better than Clinton's ***** in a can.
- gyronic, on 04/17/2008, -2/+10They should have asked Obama about his endorsement from Bat Boy from Weekly World News!
- Pstall, on 04/17/2008, -0/+7Hahaha... The Gun control group in a civil war vs the Anti-gun control group... wow that would be smarttttttt
- junkwheel, on 04/17/2008, -0/+7More or less.
/taxi driver - chili555, on 04/17/2008, -3/+9Come on now. Do you really think any media outlet is unbiased? Wise up. Grow up.
- actorboy, on 04/17/2008, -9/+15Tokyo Rose, is that you?
- mercy666, on 04/17/2008, -3/+9If there is one Conservative commentator I cannot stand its Sean Hannity. He is such a Republican panderer as opposed to being a principled conservative. He would rather vote Republican than let the Dems Team win the Oval office. I respect Glenn Beck for saying he is going to vote on principle on not on team affiliation. Hannity sounds like such a whiny 5 year old brat here. I think Hannity and Colmes is by far the most bias show in all of TV. Colmes is a Liberal, but with a small "l". Hannity seems to get his way with the content each and every time showcasing extreme liberals and trying to paint the Dems as supporting these radicals. Where are Colmes topics that show the extreme Right Wing Radicals? Ok, enough ranting.
- TheSwashbuckler, on 04/17/2008, -1/+7Why don't you ask Bill Richardson...
- WasabiBomb, on 04/17/2008, -5/+11So, designer, are you seriously wondering whether a presidential candidate is secretly a terrorist? Is that actually the question you're asking?
If so, you're a moron. - SpaceMonkeyZero, on 04/17/2008, -2/+8You're being sarcastic right?
- OrangeTide, on 04/17/2008, -0/+6American Politics + Television = for Entertainment Purposes Only.
