You creep! You are scaring the kids! If you ask someone a question, SHUT UP AND LET THEM SPEAK!

WOW   April 15th, 2009 - 3:14 pm

Amazing!! I guess if the reporters can’t get their average left-wing street activists to go out and make trouble then the left-wing reporters will do it themselves!

chslop   April 15th, 2009 - 3:19 pm

Hazardous duty pay babe. Your producer must hate you.

I think she unintentionally made a pretty good case for that crazy theory that most media types are lefties. She’s obviously unprepared to be in an environment where she’s challenged.

"EVERYMAN" PROTESTING   April 15th, 2009 - 3:20 pm

What Nonsense! The people are protesting STUPIDITY IN HIGH OFFICES THAT IS TAKING A TOLL ON “EVERYMAN” IN THE UNITED STATES.

ShockedinOregon   April 15th, 2009 - 3:22 pm

The reporter was right about one thing; her extremist behavior is not appropriate for family viewing. Look how she is right up on that baby, screaming in his ear. She is dangerous!

Also, where does this dense pile of crap reporter think the stimulus money is coming from? Could it be from the American taxpayers?

That is why the taxpayers are out there, dumbass reporter!

CNN is a joke! Those woman should be fired immediately for this clearly biased reporting. But the suits at CNN will probably promote her. No wonder Fox is crushing all the competition.

CNN Liberal Plant…

ING   April 15th, 2009 - 3:43 pm

This BERSERK CNN reporter was inflicting her own reason and not U.S.A. citizen’s for the tea party.
Why? Was she debating the person she was interview??? CNN Reporter DID Not Listen to the person she was interviewing. That’s what’s wrong with CNN. Flase Reporting.
This is why America viewers has drop viewing CNN.

PaleRyder   April 15th, 2009 - 4:29 pm

When the protests were going on at the repub. convention,they were just average Americans,now they are fox inspired haters.The dufas networks just don’t get it and this kind of turn-out all over America scares the he!! out of them.Rightfully so.Go back to your bottom-feeding ratings and wonder why only family members watch your broadcast,only because it’s like driving by a yellow draped car accident on the freeway.

peter c   April 15th, 2009 - 4:38 pm

This was CHILD ABUSE on this KOOL AID DRINKING SO-CALLED REPORTERS BEHALF.
STOP watching CNN. Tell everyone you know to STOP watching CNN.They are the voice of TREASON…not REASON.Take CNN off your cable list.Write CNN and tell them they are treasonous and that you are shutting them down.Let the Catholic Hating traitor Ted Turner know WE ARE DONE WITH HIM and HIS TREASOUS WIFE HANOI JANE!!!
Work to vote this baby killing Politicians OUT of OFFICE in 18 months.STAND UP and FIGHT BACK!!

That was a “reporter”? That sure wasn’t “reporting”.

Everyone knows that blacks are the reason for all these financial problems. Stop giving these animals freebies and the economy will quickly correct itself.

Sasquatchian   April 15th, 2009 - 5:23 pm

One thing though…I do have to thank her for…

I’m probably a good 20 years older than she is, and I’m retiring this year, so…

Thanks Babe for paying my social security…and paying, and paying, and paying…and…

I love confrontation. Makes good TV.

mark   April 15th, 2009 - 5:36 pm

She cut off that CLOWN’S scripted Lincoln tirade and he wouldn’t answer any question.
She went their willing to speak with your protestors, and she got screamed at…NICE.

A.C.   April 15th, 2009 - 5:43 pm

LOL! That was freakin’ hilarious! The (C)ommie (N)ews (N)etwork is really getting deranged in their third place ratings… Love it…

Independent American   April 15th, 2009 - 5:48 pm

That was no “reporter”. Reporters report! She was getting angry and making her own political points. And that’s a major part of the whole problem that is coming to a head now! The media is paranoid, corrupt, and doesn’t GET it!

John the Baptist   April 15th, 2009 - 5:54 pm

I agree witha previous poster. The reporter felt compelled to debate the protester. And when it didn’t go her way, she pouted. CNN is a third-rate network. Plain and simple.

John the Baptist   April 15th, 2009 - 5:58 pm

Mark,

A protester with an agenda. Imagine that.
Also, nice use of the word “their”. A public school graduate, no doubt. My tax dollars well spent.

Truth Hurts   April 15th, 2009 - 6:06 pm

“You’re here with your two year old and you’re already in debt.” That’s the most condescending stuck-up “I-don’t-do-flyover-states” kind of comment from that non-reporter reporter from the get-go! What an absolute abomination to honest journalism. She may be totally on her little angry agenda, but she does the Berkeley California thing of having to insult the guy too! These snobs don’t understand the real American people while calling them rubes and Okies and low-brow and low-rent all the time. I will never watch these vindictive vituperative women who can’t handle the truth and won’t listen to anything that opposes their viewpoints. That woman makes me sick. Maybe she can go back and prostrate herself at the altar of Chris Matthews and his bed buddy Keith Olbermann while they get “chills up their legs”. They’re all cut from the same closed-minded cloth!

Fed Up At CNN/MSNBC Lies   April 15th, 2009 - 6:06 pm

That’s supposed to be an unbiased reporter? If so, she should be fired! Murrow is turning over in his grave! “Anti CNN”?!? These people reveal their true stripes when they get this paranoid! And when she’s browbeating a demonstraor who has a first amendment right to be there and have an opinion not given to him by CNN, the demonstrator should have explained to her that the stimulus money that she thinks he should be thankful for is actually HIS STATE’S MONEY, given to Washington and returned with strings attached!!! These reporters know nothing and the news outlets are getting very angry now that their propaganda is being seen through! The old Fox News strawman excuse doesn’t fly anymore, CNN! People who actually WATCH the channel know where the truth is!

Gandhi's Fist   April 15th, 2009 - 6:14 pm

Bias of the worst sort. An example of an activist with a microphone and camera trying to paint the protest as extremest. She got it exactly backwards.

Folks, the point is, we pay too much of what we make to the federal government!

Does this “reporter” have a clue as to why America broke from England as a colony? Taxation without representation. These tea parties are a symbolic event harks to the original Boston tea party, which protested the very; same point.

Finally, she mentions the 50 billion in “stimulus” his state got. Umm, not the point lady. We don’t want stimulus if it’s going to put our children’s children into astronomical debt. I couldn’t believe she’d say that with a straight face. Clearly, she formulated that “question” ahead of time for just this purpose, to temper the protest. He should at least be allowed time to respond. Her objective was to embarrass. Is it any wonder people got truculent with CNN? Communist News Network.

Hannity Lover ; )   April 15th, 2009 - 6:17 pm

Hey CNN and mean Ms. CNN reporter….ever heard “When the Walls Come Tumblin’ Down”? Better get your umbrella out!

Duh? Wait! Let me look it up!   April 15th, 2009 - 6:32 pm

Maybe she should have asked them a question that they could answer.

Like, “What color is the White House”?

WriterX   April 15th, 2009 - 6:35 pm

What a dingbat reporter. I think she’d be flustered by a sunny day. She got angry when she didn’t get the answer she wanted, plain and simple.

Penelope   April 15th, 2009 - 6:41 pm

The stimulus money IS this man’s money and OUR money too, you stupid cub reporter. Go get an education. There is NO government money, sweetie pie, the government’s money is OUR money! Your copy of Das Kapital in your little requisite Greenwich Village coffeehouse didn’t teach you economics 101! Someone fire this proagandist reporter before she tries to brainwash anyone else with her angry tirades!

Tom Bombadillo is now an angry fellow   April 15th, 2009 - 6:55 pm

In the minds of this “reporter” and her “journalist” pals, if you’re not getting that “furrowing up your leg” over Dear Leader, then you must be a right-wing wacko — and an ingrate, to boot. You should be HAPPY that all your money is being sucked up in the way of taxes to help forward radical, totalitarian, socialist, and/or unconstitutional policies.

She is a blatant shill. A leftist propagandist. And this is the typical mainstream media.

Already Deleted CNN   April 15th, 2009 - 6:57 pm

Dear Sick of the Performing Monkeys,

Ouch! That was straight through the heart of all those Performing Monkeys! I totally agree with you. You saved me the trouble of posting my thoughts by so eloquently doing it before I had the times. Thanks so very much for saying what at least 85 percent of Americans really feel.
Best to you and yours.

LeTigre   April 15th, 2009 - 7:40 pm

Mark needs to “delete” himself.

Communist News Network   April 15th, 2009 - 7:51 pm

I love it!!! What a couple of tools those CNN bimbos were. As if we haven’t known for a long long time. Mental midget media morons.

I want to thank all you tea party protesters!!! Thank You!

magyarfrau   April 15th, 2009 - 8:40 pm

Is this what passes for reporting at CNN? This woman can’t even refrain from editorializing and spouting her own leftist views. And we should be surprised that the state of Illinois is receiving that amount of money ?– Pay back perhaps! What the left is doing to the country is scary and not fit for family viewing. What most of us would like to say to her and the like is not appropriate to print. Why not send her a month long in depth reportage on the pirates of Somalia — hope she can swim!

That CNN “reporter” is training to take Andrea Bitchell’s place on NBC.

RogerCfromSD   April 16th, 2009 - 2:06 am

Wow. What a complete harridan that reporter was.

She was derisive and absolutely wrong. I’m surprised the guy didn’t slap her hand away for doing that to the child.

Pathetic. CNN and MSNBC can whine all they wish. They are last rate networks with extremists for reporters.

Ken   April 16th, 2009 - 8:02 am

Get over yourself. Why does it have to be about you? The good news is that the liberal media now feels compelled to come right out and tell you they are liberal leftist commie pinkos. Now we don’t have to tell our clueless friends they are getting their news from the fringe when they watch the mainstream media.

I don’t know which they hate more–that Fox is telling the truth or that more people are watching Fox than their leftist drivel.

racist   April 16th, 2009 - 9:46 am

wow another damm lib reporter who cant do her job,shameful and wrong!

Dr.M.L.Kingfish   April 16th, 2009 - 10:27 am

CNN should have never sent a guy in drag to do the reporting.

Azul Del Fuego   April 16th, 2009 - 11:09 pm

I understand – she’s used to being fawned over by Code Pink and those thugs that ACRON hires to run protests who willingly ham for the camera to put her in line for the next Edward R Murrow award. She just wasn’t prepared for people who aren’t paid to protest who have a legitimate point to make about our Government overspending. I attended a rally of about 5,000 people and the words “Republican” and “Fox News” were never mentioned.
Get over it, B1tch! You have only 20 months left before the House and Congress change hands. Do the damage you can now.

Ken   April 17th, 2009 - 10:07 am

That was not a reporter. She was sent there to propagate a message. Obviously CNN is bought and paid for by corrupt entities!

I want real news!

After watching this man, and his poor baby boy, get verbally assaulted by this woman and then have his air time muted so he could not be heard, I say- CNN NEVER AGAIN!
No more watching CNN for me! That’s for certain.

Certainly NOT News!   April 17th, 2009 - 3:35 pm

CNN =
CERTAINLY
NOT
NEWS!!!
