What a flaming idiot. I’m not surprised no one watches her show.

Keith   August 15th, 2009 - 11:33 am

She’s a douche

Jason   August 15th, 2009 - 11:34 am

She looks like Stewart Smalley now.

WOW, she is so phony, what a stooge (female, for the demoncrats!

If you need a laugh after this and like Frank Sinatra click my name for a video.

These are not her words obviously,
she is just a puppet mouthpiece who insults free speech!

The only Ignorance is coming from you toadies in New York. The same miserable failures who were suppose to be our watch dogs. Well look what relying on New York has done to America. To quote this fraud you miserable failures foisted on the country.

I see the obama administration (ie the main stream media) is really making the push for there HC bill. Isn’t this the sweet lady that set out to destroy Sarah Palin….Katie your just so sincere, sweet and honest. lol..

HannaMan   August 15th, 2009 - 11:57 am

No worries, she will be gone soon I don’t thing CBS News can survive much longer with this Liberal POS

Veritas   August 15th, 2009 - 12:03 pm

Well if isn’t little Katie Communist! Ignorance is what liberals like her are all about. That was just a big load of spin designed to influence the truly ignorant in our society.

Oldbluesboy   August 15th, 2009 - 12:05 pm

Poor-minded, self-centered woman. She’s just trying to get a RATING. Just one, at the least.

IDIOT!   August 15th, 2009 - 12:05 pm

Hey ‘cutesy’ Katie – shove your notebook——–JUST GIVE UNBIASED NEWS, NOT YOUR IGNORANT OPINIONS, YOU ARE AN IDIOT—NOBODY EVEN WATCHES YOU—–YOU ARE DEDD-LASTe

Chocolate City Dave   August 15th, 2009 - 12:07 pm

Wow, so if I go out and voice my opinion, it’s a side show. If code pink voices their opinion, it’s patriotic freedom of speech.

j   August 15th, 2009 - 12:10 pm

Thank you Katie, I recall a similar “notebook” moment that you gave when George Bush was being mocked, demonized, and his life threatened. When protester’s from the left used the word “Nazi” and every other vile epithet, to label those they hade policy differences with. I remember then how you asked everyone to “step back and take a deep breath”. You held the country together from your perch a CBS. Next to Yoda, I can’t think of a finer example of intellectual and moral integrity than Katie Courac. Katie, will you have my baby?

bodhi   August 15th, 2009 - 12:12 pm

brilliant analysis by Couric.
Keith Olbermann also captured the essence of
the shout downs by so called concerned americans:
“stupid people causing fear in other stupid people”

thats what happens when the republican machine mobilizes
an army of trailer trash.

KR   August 15th, 2009 - 12:14 pm

One knows a robot when they see a robot..or should we say a programmed robot…Robots are non thinking entities..they are only as good as the programmer(whos ratings are in the abys). Therefore dear Katie robot..your career is just about dead.

Uncle Walter   August 15th, 2009 - 12:15 pm

Oh shut up Katie, nobody cares what you have to say. And what’t up with that butch hair-cut? Good, now that you shared a page from your notebook, rip it out and wipe your a** with it. Moron.

LAGUNA   August 15th, 2009 - 12:15 pm

What debate?

The only debate in the Administration is over most effective methods to shut up people who disagree with its proposals.

The Mr. Obama Town Halls are disturbing, so orchestrated. Have you seen the movie Leap of Faith with Steve Martin? I saw it a long time ago, but Mr. Obama is that type of crowd pleaser. He’s smooth, he’s charming, he’s funny, he’s easy-going, he’s compassionate. He seems to be a pretty good guy. Has HE read HR 3200?

Who is going to stand up and really give the president an earful when you are surrounded by thousands of his worshippers?

AMERICANS ARE NOT TELLING MR. OBAMA WHAT THEY REALLY THINK AT TOWN HALL MEETINGS BECAUSE IN GENERAL WE RESPECT THE OFFICE. He is the beneficiary of that.

I went to high school and college with A LOT of “Katie-Couric types” – shallow, superficial, and malleable to “authority figures.” Not the kind of person who would EVER side with a dissenting opinion.

irishkay   August 15th, 2009 - 12:15 pm

Of course, Katie, the discussion is still going on—–it hasn’t passed yet! Be informed Katie (aren’t you a news reporter)
surprised you questioned that—get up to speed—-and why tie it to a guy with a gun in NH (LIVE FREE OR DIE) —————–KATIE, HE ‘CAN’ CARRY A GUN—-THIS IS AMERICA—-REMEMBER????
……and more and more people will be if things keep getting tilted towards social-ism!
YOU ARE AN IDIOT IF YOU DON’T THINK AMERICANS ‘WANT’ TO KNOW WHAT THE PEOPLE (ELECTED OFFICIALS) are doing on our behalf, after all we put them there. It’s our duty to make sure they represent what the people who voted them into office, want them to represent! These town hall meetings are really being done wrong!
When our representatives come to the meeting———-THEY SHOULD HAVE A COPY OF THE FINAL HEALTH BILL, IN THEIR HANDS – AND COPIES OF IT FOR ALL TO HAVE———AND THEN AND ONLY THEN SHOULD A MEETING TO DISCUSS EVERY LINE IN THAT BILL UNTIL EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS ‘EXACTLY’ WHAT WE WILL OR WILL NOT HAVE, OR HAVE TO PAY FOR!!!!!!!!!!!

WTF??   August 15th, 2009 - 12:18 pm

Thank you Katie for calling it out like it is. She says” Are we really still debating health care when a man brings a handgun to a church where the President is speaking?” This is important folks…. many on the far right do indeed “cling” to their guns and religion (and not in a good way) A must read is American Fascists – The Christian Right and The War on America by Chris Hedges. Excellent book and I recommend it to anyone that cares about this country and is concerned about what the fringe right is trying to do do our Democracy!

Russs   August 15th, 2009 - 12:19 pm

Katie is a newsperson? NOT EXACTLY! What pathetic left wing spin.

What an Elitist!   August 15th, 2009 - 12:20 pm

Of course, the elitist, leftists think that the “common folk” are too stupid to actually READ the bill and understand the implications of certain provisions. Of course, THEY know what’s best for all of us. What condensation and arrogance!

My guess is that more people who oppose government take-over of the health care system have read the House bill than those who shrill against it. I have,and that’s why I am appalled at this blatant attempt to expand government power and social engineering under the guise of health care reform. Have you Katie or are you just a parroting mouthpiece like so many on the Left?

What I fear are those who adhere to their statist ideologies: reporters like her; the liberal, propagandist media; elected officials who attack their constituents’ Constitutional rights; and government bureaucracy. Those who allow their ideology to triumph over a belief in individual liberty and Constitutional rights are a very real danger to this country.

What the HELL does one have to do with the other???   August 15th, 2009 - 12:20 pm

What does debate about health care have to do with a guy–who could very well be a liberal plant, he has been on every liberal network–with a gun at the presidential town hall? OMG! These people think we are morons.

Ohhhhhh, I see. You just want us to stop the debate of health care. Katie–and you win journalism awards??? You should be ashamed to be a part of the silencing of Americans.

Good job, Katie.

I hope all journalists will stand up against this madness created by the GOP and its racist supporters who were soundly defeated at the polls but have been using the so-called health care town hall meetings to display their ignorance and frustrations at losing the elections (as they will once more lose in 2010 and 2011)

The s.p.i.n.e.l.e.s.s MSM have been treating this open display of racism and rudeness as “healthy debate”

If not checked, this c.a.n.c.e.r will consume all of us when the left decides enough is enough and reacts equally against these goons.

SFMike   August 15th, 2009 - 12:24 pm

A page from the classic liberal notebook. If you don’t agree with me, you MUST be ignorant. We must focus on the task at hand – [read, passing gov.t run healthcare], before this side show [read the opinion of the MAJORITY of Americans] drowns out the main event [read left-wing takeover of a large chunk of the economy].

It must be incredibly hard being a liberal Katie. Knowing all, and having to deal with us ignorant, gun-toting, religion-clinging, swastika painting conservatives.

WoW   August 15th, 2009 - 12:27 pm

Are we really still calling this journalism when we have a commie democrat hack anchoring the CBS evening news?

The MSM is a crap spewing propaganda machine for the DNC.

The Journalist:

Do you think Katie is being a good journalist here?

Is she making every effort to be objective and offer a balanced account of what is occurring?

Why is she making commentary of the news if she wants to be considered a serious journalist?

Journalists are supposedly trained by set aside bias and report the news, not try to affect it.

The same demographic group that’s showing up at these town halls, screaming and making a fool of themselves is that same group at these Tea Parties and are part of the birther movement and the new group the deathers.

People have legitimate concerns about this health care bill all the more reason to engage in civil discourse.But some of these people just hate that Black man in the White House.
Fueled by folks on Faux news,Limbaugh and the neo-cons.
The sleeping giant is the majority of this country who are starting to have enough of these right wing bullies.
Lou Dobbs got his azz handed to him when jumped on the birther band wagon.Now Dobbs and Limbaugh have abandoned the birthers.
Glenn Beck has started to lose his sponsers and OMG I see where some groups are starting to go after Andy.

kathy@brazoscowgirl   August 15th, 2009 - 12:43 pm

Two idiot moves out of the thousands that attended and spoke passionately about what they actually read in the bill. Katie get real, your dog won.

The average citizens want an actual plan that will work, not a blueprint for disaster.

CommonSense   August 15th, 2009 - 12:44 pm

Me thinks there is a “I HEART OBAMA” sticker on her notebook along with a picture of Che.
By the way who let this little boy talk on television?

LAGUNA   August 15th, 2009 - 12:47 pm

Harold Pollack wrote in The New Republic that Obama is “hitting his stride” in Montana. They cite a question from one man in Montana yesterday:

“Or consider this:

I’ve learned that Medicare pays about 94 percent of hospital cost. And I’ve learned that Medicaid pays about 84 percent of hospital cost. And I’ve learned this from a reputable source, my brother who is a chief administrative officer at a large hospital group … his hospital collects about 135 percent of cost from private insurers, and that makes up the difference. So if the public option is out there, will it pay for its way, or will it be under-funded like Medicare and Medicaid?”

That was the question of one of Mr. Obama’s challengers. The only problem is: Mr. Obama didn’t answer the question. I’ve watched it a couple of times.

So where is the debate if the man elected to be president won’t address a legitimate problem with our health care system?

People are frustrated because our politicians are not listening to us. THAT IS THE DEBATE RIGHT NOW, just as much as the details of the man-elected president’s plan.

john m   August 15th, 2009 - 12:50 pm

What a treat the Elitist Snot is communicating with the commoners.

Can you see her version of reality…..or Obama’s view of reality (food stamps for all, sleep all day long. mooch off the government, be a victim).

Katie missed the wine and cheese party the other day and will be back on track soon.

In other words her fake humanitarism is easy to see through and she should just shut up.

steveB   August 15th, 2009 - 12:52 pm

Her liberal ignorance and her automatic approval of anything Pelosi/Obama want, are just UNBELIEVABLE. There really is something wrong with her to be so clueless……….OR so idealogically against free-market principles.

john m   August 15th, 2009 - 12:54 pm

Also her interview of Palin should be a good merit stripe on Sarah’s sleeve.

It shows in contrast that Sarah is not an elitist and just a genuine person,
compared to this phony Katie.

LAGUNA   August 15th, 2009 - 12:58 pm

One thing we have to give Katie credit for: people like Rahm Emmanuel, David Axelrod, and Barack Obama know how to destroy people personally and professionally if you stand in their way. Isn’t that also what Karl Rove and Dick Cheney have also been accused of?

Katie knows that there are powerful forces in our country. Its much better to hang with the crowd. Sometimes you can go through your entire life just being protected.

H2K   August 15th, 2009 - 1:00 pm

How many millions have been out to protest? How many swastikas? How many of those were from liberals trying to project guilt to the conservatives? How many showed up illegally with a gun? How many of those were democrat plants?

Katie, this is a grassroots movement. You can use your “Rules for radicals” playbook to try and sway the feeble-minded otherwise, but it’s this government that is not listening to the people when it comes for any kind of reform.

For those who think this is about the “black man”, perhaps it is. It’s about the president fulfilling his promise of reparations in a stealth underhanded way.

LAGUNA   August 15th, 2009 - 1:03 pm

john m

Please don’t bring up Sarah Palin. Her comments have caused more damage to the cause of sane health care debate. She had to open her mouth and give the media a focal point for anti-conservative/libertarian critics.
Newt Gingrich had to posture himself in relation to her ridiculous comment and compromise his stance on the issues.

Thanks a lot Mrs. Palin!

Pandoraah   August 15th, 2009 - 1:04 pm

Give her a break! Everyone has an off day now and then. She didn’t kill anyone. I heard she apologhized later. No big deal.

Katie has as much right to comment as anyone. But we have as much right to ignore a “flake” as anyone. It’ s just a shame that some people give this “know nothing” credibility.

kmichaels   August 15th, 2009 - 1:28 pm

Swastika painted on by a democrat. They do this all the time. Then the useful idiots in the news simply repeat it, having no idea how it got their. Katie plays the role of useful idiot to a T. No unlike all the other dopes at MSNBC and the other MSM. However, their voices are diminishing in size, thank goodness, thanks to other options. The most popular cable news happens to be Fox which happens to be rational. Which is all we ask. The fools like Katie that carries Obama’s water are in the process of going down and into the quickly forgotten realm. They know this. They have sold their souls to the DNC and dont seem to care. So, for such is reserved shame and darkness, which is again coming their way. Soon Katie will not be doing her botox. She will let her makeup falter. And she will be found reminding people who she used to be. All because she was too stupid too ignorant and too biased to actually do her job.

PupsMcCann   August 15th, 2009 - 1:28 pm

Good job Comrade Porkpie Katie! You have learned well, slither out their to find a couple of crazies amongst thousands of everyday Americans who don’t want Dear Leader’s Health Control for the Masses and paint them all as ‘racist’ or as a threat to The One!

Obama’s PR Dept (aka the old stream media) act as if Pelosi and her cohorts are open to debate! They don’t care what the people think or say they will sneak this bill through without any debate if they could.

BTW, the handgun was not brought to the meeting. It was outside with it’s legal owner. Apparently if you exercise your freedom by carrying an unconcealed weapon again, totally legal, then THIS IS WHAT AMERICA IS COMING TO. Katie, go to hell, you idiot Obama water carrying hack. You had your day when you were pushing food on TV. You are above your pay grade on political issues.

Fear and ignorance? What does a swastika have to do with health care? Good question–how come you didn’t ask that during the past 8 years?

BTW…the swastika was the symbol of the national socialist party. I do not advocate the evil of Nazi Germany, and although the democrats have no value for the unborn (like nazis) believe in euthanasia (like nazis) have a charismatic leader who gives great speeches…and believe in centralized power and that we all should work for the fatherland, I’m not saying that the democrats are nazis as in nazi germany, but they are national socialists.

Nathan Bickel   August 15th, 2009 - 2:35 pm

One thing Katie Couric is good at — and that is her cut and paste hatchet slams against an awakened American public, not willing to receive Obamacare shoved down their throats. This American taxpaying citizen does not appreciate her patronizing and sanctimonious manner of making bread and butter taxpayers out to be fear mongering and ignorant.

What is missing with Couric’s propagandizing news, is mention of US Congressmen and Senators hiding under their particular covers, thereby promulgating ignorance and tolerance of a health care bill that is flawed beyond comprehension.

In our own “Backyard” mid-Michigan, we have such a US Senator who is more content to taking in festive events rather than planning some town hall meetings. She clearly makes it a point to snub her constituents — and at the same time expects to be regarded, as available to her Michigan constituents:

“While many US congressmen and senators avoid the public: Michigan’s own senator, Stabenow, continues to duck town hall meetings – Apparently manages somehow to show up at the annual Caseville Cheeseburger Festival, ‘Parade of Fools’” – michigansthumb.com (8/15/09)

I’VE ASKED ALL SENATORS IF THEY HAVE SEEN OBAMA’S LIVE BIRTH CERTIFICATE.
THEIR ANSWER….

A.- NO. I HAVEN’T SEEN IT. THEY ANSWERED.

****NOBODY HAS SEEN OBAMA’S BIRTH CERTIFICATE*****NOBODY!!!

WHY?

A.- NOBODY ASKED OBAMA FOR HIS ID DOCUMENTS.*****NOBODY!!!!

1. If Obama was/is ineligible to be POTUS; why would the RNC, Fox News, Dick Cheney or ANY former Bush administration official not block him form taking office?
–Answer – Checking Obama’s eligibility was not the RNC’s, Dick Cheney’s, or former President Bush’s job.
The mainstream media was safely in Obama’s pocket and Fox News apparently didn’t want to be labeled as racist.
2. Why didn’t Dick Cheney refuse to certify the election results on the basis of Obama’s ineligibility?

—Answer – Cheney had no evidence to disqualify Obama because Obama with-held most all of his documentative evidence and it was not his job to vette Obama for his eligibility.
3. As POTUS he is able to access and view information of a Top Secret classification including highly sensitive National Security data. Why has the FBI, CIA, NSA, DHS or any other intelligence group not “outed” Obama as ineligible?

—Answer – It was not any Government Officials duty to investigate Obama’s eligibility, so no one did.

This is what caused this PROBLEM.

Psychologically, she sounds like a pre-teen. She believes she’s right and her side is all that matters. Very much like a twelve year old. A shame. And the network boss who hasn’t apparently matured to understand professional journalism necessary for successful news reporting. They went from Rather to this? I wonder how ads are even sold for this punditry. Are they funded through advertising or Soros? And what’s really weird and sad, she apparently feels America’s listening while no one’s even paying attention.

According To An MD – Part 1 Of Obama Care
Was Already Passed Last February!

“The first part of The Obama Health Care Plan was buried in The Stimulus Bill which was signed into law by the President in February (see http://www.readthestimulus.org/ ). It is the second part of The Health Care Plan which is now being debated in Congress.

“Below is the link to the over 1000 page document…..

“Let me summarize just a few salient points of the two part Obama Health Care Plan. Warning…….They need to put the same warning on The Obama Health Care Plan as they do a pack of cigarettes…..Consuming this product WILL be hazardous to your health.

Who is this guy? Looks like him and that Maddow dude should be hanging out.

dontflagmebro   August 15th, 2009 - 5:11 pm

Yea Porkulus was a Trojan Pig. And the broken promise of 5 day review but Obama went on 4 day vacation to wait for Pelosi to fly to Spain to get award from toll road globalists trying to steal our highways then she came back and got it going.

CrisD   August 15th, 2009 - 5:16 pm

Only you are allowed to voice an opinion? Katie you are an idiot. You are tanking in the ratings, did you read that off the news wire yet?

dontflagmebro   August 15th, 2009 - 5:18 pm

Probably one of the biggest news weeks in American history and the major media all they can come up with is hate and a picture of a guy that is not a hater and has a constitutional right to have a gun on his hip. Katie missed the WHOLE STORY AND POINT of this week. The magic dust is gone… the wizards strings exposed… the teleprompter shattered… the school buses on camera.. the fake doctor… the cell phone and the question. Katie a kid in elementry school could probably be more professional journalist then you and your clown friends at MSNBC, CBS, ABC, PBS and NPR.

The fake doctor, donflagmebro!   August 15th, 2009 - 5:41 pm

You nailed it!

REBEL-1   August 15th, 2009 - 5:46 pm

“Blames ‘Fear and…Ignorance’ for Town Hall Protests”
While she ALMOST got it correct, the point she missed is WHO IS IGNORANT!
Those in office were elected to represent the 70-85% of the population who are happy with their health care/insurance and NOT to rob them to pay for things to give to those who refuse to work or are expecting paybacks from this bunch of Chicago thugs moved to DC.
The bills floating around Congress only have a few things in common, the biggest of which is they are all socialist and would had the health care of all the some Goobermint employee who is probably not capable of handing the situation – at least not as well as the involved individual and their health care provider.
Ingorance is Kate’s middle name IMHO…

Nancy Wallace   August 15th, 2009 - 5:49 pm

Amazing again how even though almost 1/2 the country does NOT want to be socialist and voice their opinions that the lefts simply ignore the possibility that everybody simply does not like socialism, immorality and wants to be heard.

escomments   August 15th, 2009 - 5:57 pm

What a flaming Libtard! Who is she trying to persuade? All the flaming Libtards already agree with her. The ingnorant town hall
protesters are the independents who are going to clean her Liberal clock in 2010!

“Cry baby…..cry, cry baby…..”

That is what all of you Republicans are – can’t handle the F-ing truth.

Sad.

Barry Bonds   August 15th, 2009 - 6:02 pm

I see why the Right keeps lying to you guys because anytime you hear the truth it makes you crazy. You turn on anyone who doesn’t see things your way.

Again, very sad.

dontflagmebro   August 15th, 2009 - 6:29 pm

She’s calling it a sideshow. Who turned on who? Journalists job is to report news. Not to decide that half the country is worthless. The half that her company advertises to and needs to stay in business. If Geico can quit Beck should her advertisers not quit too? She’s a national Anchor Beck is a talk show.

“Psychologically, she sounds like a pre-teen.”

That is the definition of the average liberal democrat.

“Based on strikingly irrational beliefs and emotions, modern liberals relentlessly undermine the most important principles on which our freedoms were founded,” says Dr. Lyle Rossiter, author of the new book, “The Liberal Mind: The Psychological Causes of Political Madness.” “Like spoiled, angry children, they rebel against the normal responsibilities of adulthood and demand that a parental government meet their needs from cradle to grave.”

Barry Bonds   August 15th, 2009 - 6:41 pm

No one said ALL of the townhallers are crazy. We just noted that SOME of these were off their meds like the guy with the GUN and the sign promoting violence.

What about the protestors with the hitler signs and the swastikas… is all of that cool?

Barry Bonds   August 15th, 2009 - 6:47 pm

I see all of you idiots want to be included in the side show – you probably deserve it.

Eileen for Freedom/Liberty   August 15th, 2009 - 6:50 pm

America…you know these liberals sure can fool you.

For years I liked Walter Cronkite…I considered him an uncle or a grandpa…then discovered he was liberal…a liberal of the worst sort!

Now here we have “sweet baby face” Katie…felt her pain when she lost her husband to cancer…supported her when she was attacked for going to CBS and now this.

A liberal…also known as “wolves in sheep’s clothing”. Not what they seem, America, not what they seem!

Ashamed and disgusted with Katie and Walter and all those who are hiding who you really are…you are…the enemy within!

I heard about this man, in fact, I think there was a story on him on Breitbart…but here he was giving an interview after the fact…apparently it was legal in his state and he wasn’t arrested for it.

When I went to a rally last summer…we had to go through metal detectors. I am sure this man did also. He was probably admitted and watched while he was there.

However, for the life of me I don’t know why he would have been permitted into the occasion with a gun by the Secret Service. They would have had the right, I am sure, to confisgate the gun while he was there and it would have been returned after the event was over!

So I cannot comment on what happened only what I think should have happened. But for Katie to bring it up…like he was going there to harm Bilderberg Bush-Obama was wrong was only useful to her to get her point across that we “average Americans” are dangerous!

====================

THE REVOLUTION OF THE SILENT MAJORITY – SILENT NO MORE!

1. GETTING INFORMED
2. GETTING INVOLVED

DON’T TREAD ON US…WE PAY “YOUR” BILLS IN WASHINGTON AND IN YOUR HOMES WHERE YOU WILL ALL BE GOING STARTING IN 2010 AND BEYOND…GUARANTEED!

mitzi   August 15th, 2009 - 6:59 pm

Does the comment “slu.tty stewardess” come to mind (No offense to all our Great Flight Attendants who do a wonderful job, in my case ALWAYS). What I like is ANYONE can paint a swastika, real protester or a set up…NO PROOF who did it, could have been the congressman himself. And after seeing the fake pediatrician (a.k.a. Obama supporter) at a town hall…I wouldn’t put anything past them.

Jamal DeFreakin Mofo   August 15th, 2009 - 7:19 pm

Barry Bail Bonds,
Do you get a lot of pleasure coming in here, heckling folks, and feeling you’re being relevant, correct and making a difference? Problem for you is, I bet you do. I would no more invade the loony parallel universe of Daily Kos and Huffington Pissed,as chatting with idiots such as you makes no freakin difference whatsoever. That being said, you are a first class azzwipe, who derives pleasure from making an azz of himself. You’re probably that rare black dude who has a 2″ pr*ck.(probably gay, also)

DEMO-BRATS RUNNING THINGS... LET'S GIVE THEM A TIME-OUT   August 15th, 2009 - 7:49 pm

Someone above quoted Lyle Rossiter’s book:
“Like spoiled, angry children, they rebel against the normal responsibilities of adulthood and demand that a parental government meet their needs from cradle to grave.”

THIS IS A PERFECT DESCRIPTION OF THE DEMO-BRATS NOW RUNNING OUR COUNTRY (INTO THE GROUND). They not only do NOT want to GROW UP, they also HATE PARENTAL/AUTHORITY FIGURES (EVEN WHILE DEPENDING ON THEM), AND THEY WANT “OLD PEOPLE” TO DIE AND GET OUT OF THEIR WAY.

We have a rough road ahead of us REAL, NORMAL AMERICANS of ANY AGE, with these immature, psychologically-arrested DEMO-BRATS at the helm!!! Guess we all need to treat them the same way you treat naughty 2-year-olds: With a very long TIME OUT till they get the ATTITUDE ADJUSTED.

LOL!
:-D

Jeannette   August 15th, 2009 - 8:31 pm

This may be off subject but you would think Katie would have more compassion for everyone even the elderly at these town hall meetings who may be suffering from diseases which their care will be rationed. Her husband and her sister both died of cancer. How she can be so friggin rude is beyond me. How soon we forget.

GladImNot   August 15th, 2009 - 8:36 pm

“Are we really still debating health care when a man brings a handgun to a church where the President is speaking?” – No we are scared, fearful and ignorant. And were proud of it.

Barry Bonds   August 15th, 2009 - 9:28 pm

Jamal, either you’re a psychic or a prophet. You have exposed me to myself. I don’t know what to do. I come here to “make a fool of myself” and you have caused me to reconsider my actions.

I won’t come here and be foolish anymore. I from now on will endorse the actions of the Breitbart community – both bad and bad.

I come here and see the actions of the “silent majority” and frankly I am disgusted. You endorse every bad act of every bad person as long as they are on your side. You people are POS to me and I enjoy watching your hysteria.

You can’t dive me out with your BS. And while I might have a 2″ prick your writing shows that you have a lady box. Probably very funky too.

Barry Bonds   August 15th, 2009 - 9:31 pm

No, it isn’t the corpse of journalism you smell. It’s the RepubliKKKan Party.

I was watching Mississippi Burning today and I couldn’t tell the difference between Rush Limbaugh and the Grand Wizard of the local “social club”.

Republicans as in the past, you will be devoured by your own hate.

We can blame Katie’s ill concealed liberal bias for her incredibly small ratings.
I’m not sure,but I think the weather channel gets more viewers.

And you are still not going to intimidate me or get rid of me because I am gay so just forget it you creeps.

bilmac   August 15th, 2009 - 10:16 pm

Hey Katie you are calling Americans a side show.I’ll tell ya how to kill two birds with one stone.
You could learn from the master and improve your ratings if you have Rush on to straighten you out.

Can I suck your 2″ prick?

bigScrotum   August 15th, 2009 - 10:24 pm

Nice to see that bigScotums are so popular, that you needed to hijack the name.


It’s OK with me. Scrotum is not a zero sum game.
 If you need more scrotum, then more scrotum it shall be.


You all know that tea-bagging has been found to wear out the scrotum. It’s in that spirit that I give more scrotum to you.


Enjoy, just don’t forget to come up for air. I know the little hairs can tickle you and cause you to forget.


What crowd of wackos! I love Brietbart! Too bad that they can’t run a secure board.

Desiree   August 15th, 2009 - 10:33 pm

What a seriously out of touch moronic hag that has tanked CBS Snooze. This woman reminds
me of the dorks that tried to be cool. At the end of the day, they are still a dork
trying to be cool. Listen Katie, people are fed up with this out of control
spending coming out of Washington D.C. We don’t want this government anywhere near
taking over our healthcare. We are seeing these campaign mode forums the messiah is
putting on. You know the ones where 11 year old make statements about mean signs
while their big time obumble contributor and volunteer sits right there. We see obumble
hug a crying woman with cancer only to find out she’s a volunteer for his
organizing for America. Where is the disclosure in who these people really are?
But, let’s say the grassroots protestors are an arm of the GOP. This is why
people do not trust obumble who admitted he has not read the bill. We don’t trust
congress. There is no check and balance in our government right now. We are mad
Katie, too bad if you don’t get it. You are out of touch. So go back to your
high priced Manhattan high rise, date your younger men but don’t run your stupid
mouth when you have no facts to back it up.

hope and change is the new bait and switch.

The ONLY “sideshow” Baghdad Katie, is the one that YOU do every day between 6:30 and 7:00! You know? The one that NOBODY is watching?! The one that is the LOWEST RATED network newscast in broadcast news history?! Perhaps you should take YOUR SIDESHOW on the road along with 0bummer and HIS SIDESHOW and help him spread the lies to those 0bummer Koolaid drinkers whom, like their Pwesident, haven’t (and won’t) read the Bill!

The ignorance is NOT on the side of the opposition! Unlike the President and Congress, **WE HAVE ACTUALLY READ THE BILL** and accordingly, we FEAR IT!

The Spartan   August 15th, 2009 - 11:49 pm

Now I understand why her ratings are lower than Walter Cronkite’s current temperature…what an empty-headed little idiot. Go back to reporting on the weather or something less taxing to your intellect.

Tea Party Protests   August 15th, 2009 - 11:54 pm

Sorry bigScrotum but Tea Baggers describes your self and that guy with the turnip shaped head, whats his name – Anderson Cooper.

Katie Couric is an idiot. She does not have one original thought in her head. She reads and a tele-promter just like that idealist we call a president. Both of these people are I s[eak of are ignorant enough to the american people will but in their bs.

Bryan   August 16th, 2009 - 12:21 am

So this is what unbiased reporting looks like?

Anti-socialist   August 16th, 2009 - 12:22 am

Socialism is not reform… Americans see this, and the more media hacks like Couric talk down to them the more pissed they get. This next four years is really the end of liberalism. If they don’t rat-f*ck the country first.

Patrick C   August 16th, 2009 - 12:38 am

The only “ignorance” apparent in the entire healthcare debate is the ignorance of our state run media. And Couric is a running dog of the state run media. If you are dumb enough to believe anything you hear on network news, you deserve to get obama care and death counseling.

Icehouse   August 16th, 2009 - 12:41 am

Uh..I think Katie did just drown out a serious debate by dismissing the average american woman who showed up to the town hall meeting.
Why they heck is Katie still on the air…she is just so dumb.

Proud SSgt   August 16th, 2009 - 12:52 am

As a former Dem now Independent who has fought in Iraq and Afghanistan for the freedoms that the protesters have and the media takes for granted, I can honestly say that objectivity in the media has gone down the toilet. Olberman, Matthews, NBC, MSNB, and Couric have not set good examples of objectivity and fact reporting with throwing their bias into the circus.
People are fed up because every time a politician get’s on tv trying to sell their version of health care reform, they don’t lay the plan out so that Americans can understand and know what they are in for.
Key Questions: Is the government capable? Examples: Post office, Unemployment, DMV. Will our taxes go up? Examples: Sales tax in Germany 19%; France 23%. Can the country afford it? Will this only be a safety net for pre-existing conditions? Will it be rationed if the country can’t afford it? Will the Government clean up fraud in Medicare before rushing a government system through? How will quality be affected? What incentive will people have to become MDs? Did they read the bill?
All the politicians have done is inflated the negative numbers to rally support for their bill so that they can rush it through. 46 million uninsured out of 320 million people in the US? Fact: The 46 million figure is based on unreliable Census Bureau data. But even the less unreliable Congressional Budget Office puts the number at about 31 million. And even that number, former CBO Director Douglas Holtz-Eakin claims, is an “incomplete and potentially misleading picture of the uninsured population.” For one reason, the uninsured figure counts all Americans (and illegal immigrants) who have been uninsured for any amount of time during a year, even if they happen to be between jobs or changing insurance plans or on family visits to Guatemala. According to the CBO, 45 percent of the uninsured are uninsured for four months or less, which seems like a pretty positive number to me. Then, another portion of uninsured Americans already qualify for existing government health insurance programs — and government already controls 46 percent of spending on health care — for which they have not signed up.

JR FOX   August 16th, 2009 - 12:52 am

Maybe had she been a better wife her husband would still be alive? Doesn’t that follow the logic of when she said “IF President Bush knew more about foriegn affairs, 911 wouldn’t have happened?”
I knew when this liitle troll said that in 2001 that she was in bed with the “Drive-By Media”.
How much longer can CB watch the ratings decipate before they yank this piece of garbage?

Icehouse   August 16th, 2009 - 1:09 am

Wow..so concerned about violence little Katie..uh like where were you when Al Sharptons friends were threatening to burn down a building and Obamas friends from the Black Panthers were holding night sticks at the election polls? And threatening to kill people over cartoon drawings?
Where oh where were you righteous Miss Kaite?
You are just do dumb…

Johnny B   August 16th, 2009 - 1:17 am

Katie Couric and CBS are so busy broadcasting Obama infomercials that they have discontinued reporting the news.

Proud SSgt   August 16th, 2009 - 1:24 am

Katy!!! Can you or any other bias person in this discussion explain this bill in a language everyone here can easily understand? Don’t just regurgitate the 1st 4 pages. Explain the whole bill.

http://edlabor.house.gov/documents/111/pdf/publications/AAHCA-BillText-071409.pdf

Or is this the job of our elected officials?
You need a law degree to understand this bill.

Icehouse   August 16th, 2009 - 1:48 am

What a great idea…I really do want to hear Katie explain the healthcare bill…
How funny would that be…I guess she can read..but does she have comprehension skills?
So far seems not…Kaitie..come one..explain it to us!
By the way how much $ did CBS waste on your clothes this week?

Newspeak   August 16th, 2009 - 2:06 am

Katie is a prime example of what Stalin would have called a “useful idiot”.
Tell us all about the bill Katie…um, ah, which bill would you like to discuss? I’ve read HR3200, over a thousand page pile of fecal matter that has very, very little in the way of anything to do with health care and everything to do with growing government, stealing more from the taxpayer, deciding who should have care and of course, always with these crooks, destroying another industry. They’ve bankrupted the current national health care plans, Medicare and Medicaid with $36,000,000,000,000.00 – that’s trillion with a T!

The very same idiots that have had oversight responsibility for TARP, Stimulus, Medicare/Medicade, Social Security, Fannie/freddie/Ginnie Mack…want control over MY HEALTH CARE? I think not and if my congressman had the nerve to have a townhall I would be there to let him know that unlike him, I read and understand just fine and give him a little end of career counseling should he go along with this theft bill!

allan   August 16th, 2009 - 2:13 am

Katie Couric is ugly inside and out. On a death consult if she had any type of cancer I would be merciful and put her on clonipin and tanqueray. Sans cancer she’s good for laughs.

dontflagmebro   August 16th, 2009 - 2:15 am

CBS cancels Jerico TV show then got peanuts sent to it then wrote ending season to look like Right wingers where the bad guys. This was right as Katie was coming in from the morning show. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7W1s-g6MSxE

Rulisteningnow   August 16th, 2009 - 2:40 am

This is really easy, even Katie can understand this: “FREE health care” isn’t at all free. We don’t want the government running health care because they are incompetent corrupt imbeciles and thieves. This is a huge power grab and we just will not go down the same path as did Germany. We are seeing the same attempt being made here except this time the economic crisis was man or should I say party created by the Progressive/Democrats (code word for socialists).

Simply put, for Katie’s benefit, some of us know our history and when we look into the eyes of Obama we see a DICTATOR!

Ifticar   August 16th, 2009 - 3:06 am

Katie, Katie, Katie. You are projecting. The ignorance and fear you perceive? It’s all you. You don’t understand and you are scared. Poor girl. Crawl into your bed. Pull the blanket over you head. Turn the electric blanket up to 9. Assume the fetal position. Insert thumb in mouth. Feel better?

Tom   August 16th, 2009 - 3:27 am

You right-wing douchebags are pathetic. You do nothing but spread exactly what Katie is talking about, fear, ignorance and lies. You’re fooled and your ignorance is exploited by the right-wing media to benefit conservative interest groups and business interests. Cut all the “liberal media” crap, use your indoor voice, cut the idiotic ideological rhetoric (Obama is a socialist, death panels, the gubmint gonna kill mah gramma etc.) and starting acting like some goddamn adults. The discourse in this country is getting to be simply who can yell over each other the loudest.

F*cking sore losers. I hate what you’re doing to my country.

joe1885   August 16th, 2009 - 3:35 am

Obama is not Hitler. He is not a socialist, a fascist, a Muslim, a Kenyan, a terrorist or a dictator. Most of the people throwing words like socialism or fascism don’t seem to understand the meaning of the word, or that they are opposites.

He was the candidate chosen by 64 million Americans to lead the country after 8 years of corruption and incompetence from the GOP. In a free, democratic election. Just because he has ideas and politics different from yours doesn’t make him Hitler. Get your collective heads out of your asses and stop swallowing everything Rush Limbaugh and Fox News cram down your throats. Think for yourselves and stop beings such obnoxious assh*les.

dontflagmebro   August 16th, 2009 - 4:17 am

Pathetic angry responses from the left. Presidents don’t take oath to serve just whoever elected them it’s the whole people. Nazi where socalist party. Joe… say it isn’t so Joe. How about you do your homework Joe and talk about Katie Couric’s piece instead of just a general mindless rant.

@Joe 1885   August 16th, 2009 - 5:15 am

Joe, Joe Joe —
Obama is the ultimate socialist (communist), fascist, Muslim, Kenyan, terrorist and dictator. All of his mentors were anti-American communists. Most of his 41 czars are radical communists. Your ignorance is astounding. You will wake up when this country is utterly destroyed by the Left. Remember your ignorant words when you can’t get a job, you can’t heat your home, you can’t get health care, and you and can’t put food on the table thanks to Cap and Trade, the Bailouts, DeathCare and the “stimulus”. I wish all of the ignorant brainwashed fools like you would leave the country. You’d feel more at home in Russia or China. Now go back to watching American Idol.
Cheers.

katie couric is a flaming idiot who lost her objectivity when it became more important to make friends and socialize with commie-centric politicans. in addition to her obvious go-along-to-get-along personality, she is not easy on the eyes.

WTF??MAMA   August 16th, 2009 - 7:56 am

It’s proven again!!! The best part of Katie ran down her mama’s crack and on the car seat.

fern shigato   August 16th, 2009 - 8:32 am

Where was the “perky” Ms. Couric 2 and 6 years ago when Bush faced more swastikas in one day than BHO has faced during this entire healthcare fiasco; and when W’s convoys were egged; and oh, wasn’t it delightful when some camel jockey threw a shoe at Bush? Just good old American represemtative democracy in action, right? Ms. Couric, your Kool-Aide stains are even more visible, now that your face (and your seat) are steadily widening. You’d better get a life before the years find you on the “has been (or “never was”) heap.

Ned Buntline   August 16th, 2009 - 9:09 am

Katie, it’s not a debate if there’s only one side talking. And it’s very disingenuous for you to pick out two nut cases out of the thousands of counterpoint participants in the events. But then again, I’m not surprised.

Dinosaur   August 16th, 2009 - 9:48 am

My, MY, Katie, how foolishly ignorant, you are. When people are pushed, they revolt. You’ve forgotten that your Auntie Pelosi and your Uncle Obama, at one time encouraged outrage and free speech. Or are you too, perching on your comfy sofa, and thumbing real Americans down your nose?.
I didn’t and don’t see you asking Ms. Jackson Lee, a socalled empathizer of social issues about her callous and “dumb” moment a t her townhall meeting. I suppose you think it’s ok for elected officials to pretend they have read the bill opr pass it off by answering the phone,

Joel   August 16th, 2009 - 10:23 am

I hear she also blames fear and ignorance for her show’s dismal ratings. Maybe she should invite Dan Rather on the show to increase her credibility.

luKuj   August 16th, 2009 - 10:31 am

Poor liberals! They just can’t accept reality or believe that we “common people” in fly-over country and listen, read, understand, and REJECT the Obama health care plan. I don’t know about anyone else, but I am tired of being called names by liberals. They give us “regular folk” no credit. They think they know what is best for us, and if we disagree we are stupid, evil, racist, bigots, ignorant, fearful, vile, violent, and I could go on and on. Sticks and stones …

Poor liberals! They just can’t accept reality or believe that we “common people” in fly-over country can listen, read, understand, and REJECT the Obama health care plan. I don’t know about anyone else, but I am tired of being called names by liberals. They give us “regular folk” no credit. They think they know what is best for us, and if we disagree we are stupid, evil, racist, bigots, ignorant, fearful, vile, violent, and I could go on and on. Sticks and stones …

Regular Guy   August 16th, 2009 - 10:37 am

The only ones that are fearful and ignorant are Katie (along with her leftist peers),the White House and the Leftists that have being seizing control from the American people for quite some time. The sleeping giant has awakened and like the “Reagan Revolution” this one will set the course for the next 20 years for our nation. Further the only ones that are paying and organizing people for the Town Hall meetings are the Leftists, just one search on Craigslist will show they are paying handsomely for support of this power grab, I mean health reform.

hoffma   August 16th, 2009 - 10:40 am

I don’t care about the media ratings. What I care about is my medical welfare being regulated by gov’t and computers. This is a relationship between my doctor and myself. Most of us have made adjustments to our income, so let me ask this for those straying from the issue at hand. For years, my family and I have been self payors and millons of us want to keep it that way. People in many cases can’t afford to pay premiums and some would rather buy a “yellow” mustang, have their hair done or take a vacation, its freedom of choice,. There should be tort reform and tweeking of the system However, our elcted officals are not willing to do so, cause the trial lawyers are in their pockets, likewise the insurance companies whom Obama is now blaming. Don’t you like the way this President points fingers? Bush, Chaney, Drug companies, INsurance. when he himself was against Healthcare reform as a Senator.
Just whatch him pass a “bill” despite public outcry..he gets what he wants when he wants it….

Colleen   August 16th, 2009 - 10:52 am

It is frustrating when GOOD American people are slammed by the media and portrayed as evil, racist and ignorant when they are simply expressing their opinions. One insane person carrying a gun does not represent the the whole. Do not call your fellow Americans ignorant Katie. Are you so elitist to think you are more intelligent than us? Once and for all, we are not racists. We do not agree with this Presidents Ideology. WE believe in less government and the fact that large government decreases freedom. Most of the people attending these meetings are elderly people who have served to preserve freedom. Thank God for them. They are informed and educated people. Don;t insult them Katie. You are supposed to read the news, not call people names. We have at this moment in time, the right to voice our opinions. For eight years people said terrible, hateful things about President Bush. That was their right. You have your job because Dan Rather so hated Bush that he lied in order to attempt to destroy him. Don’t tell us about hate, and ignorance and fear! You wrote the book on that.

hoffma   August 16th, 2009 - 11:01 am

“we are all Americans, in our views”. It’s not a Democrat or a Republican driven thing, but it’s the invasion of personal choice.

wtbofnc   August 16th, 2009 - 11:07 am

The dialog of the democrat party will be it’s own demise, especially with it’s socialist leader!

Karen L, Brauer MS, RPh   August 16th, 2009 - 11:08 am

I’m too tired after a long night of work to look up the contact info, or I’d aim this at Katie directly. Readers, feel free to do so, if your copy/paste works well.

Hearing anyone from the news media speak about anyone else’s supposed ignorance in the area of health care and medicine is side splitting. My experience with the media in general is that 95 percent of the reporters have insufficient background to comprehend the answers when conducting an interview in the areas of science and medicine. Sometimes I’ve had to write the material down for them and send links to full background info. Of course I’ve had to spell the terminology and give definitions incessantly to the scientifically illiterate journalists. In explaining drug mechanisms of action, I’ve had to first review background that kids learn in primary school, and go forward from there. The results after these efforts were often quite underwhelming. Some people are untrainable. The few reporters who were able to understand and convey medical information were welcome relief from the frustration.

Most astonishing is that the vast majority of reporters did not realize that the Hippocratic Oath has been generally out of use by graduating MDs for a generation, because it forbids abortion, physician assisted suicide and euthanasia.

Obviously, Sarah Palin knows this fact well. Moms who experience untoward fetal diagnoses experience the “suggestion of abortion”. Even docs, who wouldn’t abort, feel that if they don’t mention the possibility, they be dealt a wrongful life lawsuit down the road. At the other end of life is the denial of care, and the inculcation of a duty to die. Such is the progress of the government’s influence on health care thus far. Palin’s term “death panel”, for the entities in charge of cost containment through the denial of care, was precisely on target, and this is why the Dems and their media echo/chorus are howling in rage.

The trepidation brought on by thoughts of government controlled health care results from awareness of the above, and exactly what it means. Katie is 180 degrees out of phase with reality. This allows her to express her personal views without embarrassment.

carl6352   August 16th, 2009 - 11:22 am

to wtf. i say wtf to you.have you ever heard of the govemet emplyees union. he calls them his purple army, or acorn his so called grass roots army that gets dead people to rise and vote. reminds me of the brown troops. seems to me you have become a junkie for kool-aid and your family needs to sit down and have a intervention. as for ob every time he shows his face on tv its a intervention. as the polls show they are tired of the kool-aid and nausea he speaks every time. pretty sad when you use your grandmother who he said was a racist as a prop. but since you are on kool aid i guess you missed that.

Charstar   August 16th, 2009 - 11:51 am

Katie Couric isn’t well qualified for her current position of news reader,let alone giving her less than qualified opinion on ANYTHING. She has “silly”, “little girl” appeal; her opinions on any important issues are ZERO on any ratings scale!! The “hair style” and “serious looking” suits do not make you more legit in anyones book!!!

br549   August 16th, 2009 - 11:56 am

Who’s Katie Couric?

Bobby Kennedy   August 16th, 2009 - 12:00 pm

Katie is one good looking dude! I will definitely start watching his show.
Who cares if he is now blatantly showing his true liberal colors. If and when Katie’s show fails, at least he will have a job waiting for him as communications director for our great liberator and affirmative action recipient President B. Hussein Obama Christ.

jimmy not THAT jimmy   August 16th, 2009 - 12:09 pm

Ok, thanks for that riveting and insightful commentary Catie. Now you can get back to deciding on the next on the
hair doo. Network news is entertaining in its hilarity, if nothing else.

Bayonne   August 16th, 2009 - 12:16 pm

Who watches liberal TV anyway? Let her talk…nobody listens anyway.

Any party who supports the killing of innocent babies through abortion will get all their issues wrong.

Think about it. If you get the very basic “LIFE” issue wrong….then how can you be right on others?

Justine   August 16th, 2009 - 12:17 pm

Karen L. Brauer – I enjoyed reading your comment. I agree with you on your interpretation of what Sarah Palin is saying. I’m shocked at home many people think her comment is ridiculous. I’ve started asking people what they think will happen when the money begins to run out. Part of the problem is that many people think there is an endless supply of money available. They actually believe that taxing the rich will produce trillions and trillions of dollars. It’s how many of them ended up with a mortgage they couldn’t afford. They lack math skills. We need an overhaul our educational system.

Sherry Perussina   August 16th, 2009 - 12:31 pm

Well little Miss Katie Barak Obama won the election with the help of some Black Panther thugs standing outside of an election hall wearing militant hats and like uniforms carrying bat like weapons telling people they could not vote if they were not voting for Barak they kept saying this is our time. Now Katie we all understand that the mind of a liberal is very very small let us try to explain it to you morons again the gentleman carrying his loaded hand gun strapped to his leg was exercising his rights it is in the Constitution. Katie the Black Panther thugs were not exercising their rights under the Constitution they were depriving others of theirs. I know this is hard for the simple minded bleeding hearts to get and that is why this conversation about Obama Socialist Health Care is so hard for you to grasp. HEALTH CARE IS NOT A RIGHT!! It is however your right to live your life the way you wish to, find Insurance if you wish to, be healthy if you wish to, be an unhealthy pig if you wish. Think of it this way those of us trying to live our lives with in the frame of the Constitution don’t like it and find it more than a little Socialistic when fellow AMERICANS vote people (Barak) into office who have no intetntion of following the Constitution and believe it is their job to take from others whether it be their basic right to life, liberty & the pursuit of happiness, the right to bare arms and let’s not forget about that pesky desire to take fellow Americans hard earned money to spread around to groups of people that for some bigoted racist reason they think can never do anything for themselves. This is America where you can do anything that you want run for President even when you are totally unqualified! Come here not speaking a word of english and build a business. This however only happens when Government stays out of the way and keeps it’s Socialist programs out of America. We are a giving people we give to each other and to millions around the world both in money and blood. Soooo Katie do us all a favor stop with all of the indignation about your fellow Americans exercising their right to free speech, fredom of assembly, their right to bare arms & their Constitutional right and duty to question this Government this Government that serves at our pleasure. Let me quote one of your hero’s “I AM SICK AND TIRED OF THIS ADMINISTRATION CALLING US UNPATRIOTIC FOR DISAGREING WITH IT WE HAVE A RIGHT TO DEBATE AD DISAGRE WITH ANY ADMINISATION” Katie it is in caps because Hillary was screeching it I wonder what she would be like at a town hall meeting where she disagreed with an administration!? Katie Barak should focus on creating jobs rather than systematically killing them!!! Create jobs health insurance will follow. Barak should also be focusing on the fraud and abuse that has been going on for years in Medicare and Medicaid that has been the job of the Government and they have not been performing it just as watching Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae were their responsibility. What did they do? They turned their heads to the abuse because they felt it was helping a certain group of people and be damned to the rest of us and the harm it has brought to this country’s economy. Hey Katie why don’t you do an investigative story on just how that all transpired. We know Katie that would expose what a bunch of frauds and liars liberals really are and we can’t do that it would stop in it’s tracks all of the bleeding heart programs yet to come. Katie keep dumping on your fellow Americans keep covering for your like minded simpletons and soon your station like those in the Bay Area will become a 24hr. informercial. Proud Mother Of An American Soldier (Katie we put our life, blood and money where our mouths are! How about you you over paid fraud)

dontflagmebro   August 16th, 2009 - 1:01 pm

Notice the giant flat in the background. I noticed it’s like Obama’s just twisted a bit. Her little downplay was designed to do exactly that. Get the people back to sheeple mode. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mU9Grfz3Llw

mary M.   August 16th, 2009 - 1:38 pm

Let her talk as CBS’s ratings continue to slide. Report the news Katie. If CBS was in the business of reporting the news then people would not have to shout to get their voices heard. No, instead you have continued the manufacturing of consent. So until you report the news we will continue to voice our concerns using other forms of media. Television media is becoming obsolete because it has decided to report things other than the news. Thank goodness for the internet and thank goodness for lone media outlets that exist outside of the status quo media.

couric is so dumb,   August 16th, 2009 - 1:55 pm

Take away 100% of Katie Goreics earnings as a liberal tax.

2Goldens   August 16th, 2009 - 1:57 pm

Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Your opinion is inconsequential. Read your bloody teleprompter and report the news. You’ve already marginalized your credibility on countless occasions. This only adds to your final circles down the toilet.

couric is so dumb,   August 16th, 2009 - 1:58 pm

Just like Obama,

Couric has a staff of lobbyist-lawyers who write everything she says.

Take away the teleprompter and her hidden ear piece and she sounds even worse than Bullwinkle Obama the big dope

couric is a   August 16th, 2009 - 2:03 pm

Couric sounds like she has no treble/presence in her voice. She is like a monotone almost nasal… Too hard to listen to. When she speaks her diaphragm doesn’t put out enough air. She needs rehab speech therapy. An actual rotten voice with an old moldy face..

Couric the Jackass   August 16th, 2009 - 2:05 pm

She is such a jackass

Obama's beotch   August 16th, 2009 - 2:06 pm

Katie, go suck yourself off

Victorino   August 16th, 2009 - 3:54 pm

As much as we used to like, and respect Ms. Couric, it appears that she is taking on a “political grand standing” she is neither familiar with, nor professionally prepared to tackle, while in the process, demonizing American Voters who reject having the ObamaNation run their lives, so she can get some desperately needed raise in ratings.

Forgive me for attempting to move Ms. Couric closer to reality – but if her late and beloved husband, had to wait for ObamaCare to survive, and told how to die “with dignity” – yet everyone knows she has the wealth to take care of it herself – would she viciously attack the American Public for using their constitution Given Freedom of Speech, by refusing to accept a Healthcare Plan that “dictates to Americans” how they should lead their lives under an undesirable Socialist Government, telling you what to do, every step of the way?

Ms. Couric should concentrate more in making sure – if she really wants to be a traditional Independent and Objective Journalist – that the American Public has the Right to demonstrate – like Nancy Pelosi and Hilary Clinton advocated to defend, not so long ago – making sure Government doesn’t bury our Freedom and Individual Liberties in a Socialist Casket carried by Acorn pallbearers…

Ms. Couric, to bring forward the fact that “ONE” person” had a gun in one of the Town Hall Meetings, out of hundreds of them, it is a cheap shot a demonstrates why your ratings are of big concerns to CBS…

Did you mentioned anything about “the purple shirts and Union Members” the ObamaNation sent to some Meetings to bit and provoke decent, law abiding citizens? Now, you know what viewers got from your “misguided comments” about our Nation’s citizens.

God Bless America!

EdKnowsAll   August 16th, 2009 - 4:41 pm

I use to work Katie until I couldn’t stand it anymore and just quit. She’s a total idiot. CBS will never recover from the damage she’s done.

dontflagmebro   August 16th, 2009 - 4:51 pm

Notice also how the major media stopped using the word Gate? If a RNC guy in a bathroom taps his leg it’s bathroom gate. But Obama can fire IG’s and create endless Czars they don’t call that IGFiredGate or say to impeach him cause he broke the regulation on terminating IG’s. They just say oh it’s all a big side show and your all just dumb. The media is supposed to invesigate not propagandize.

Karen L, Brauer MS, RPh   August 16th, 2009 - 5:13 pm

Back at Justine….
Bingo! on the bad education and the lefties’ unpaid mortgages.

And the same goes for swallowing the population control garbage, and the new billionaire huckster, Al Gore.

How about the logic by which lefties “solve” global cooling and global warming by the same means?

I’m joining the chorus which is thankful for the internet media outlet, which the more analytical people can glean for more accurate news coverage. I find info at Breitbart that I’d NEVER see on the networks, along with the above hilarity.

this pint sized Obama supporter who poses as a news editor. she is actually a propagandist for Obama. AXELROD owns her. she needs to go back to playing Peter Pan as she did in her previous show on NBC.

she is owned and operated by the DNC.

Was that Katie Couric, or Stuart Smalley?

Duude   August 16th, 2009 - 7:44 pm

Its sad Katie doesn’t know she is the ignorant one. The government option plan isn’t to provide competition. The government option has been proposed to end competition once and for all. One need to look no further than medicare and medicaid to see how it would happen. Only government can set prices paid for specific procedures, while private insurance companies can only negotiate. When government sets prices paid with medicare, hospitals often lose money. They make it up by charging private health insurance plans more. This doesn’t level the playing field at all. Additionally, government will subsidize the government option on the back of taxpayers leaving businesses with an easy and much less expensive option than private healthcare could ever manage. The end result is no more competition, just government. But that’s when things get real bad. Healthcare inflation will continue and hospitals will have nowhere to make up for losses at government prices. They will either close their doors or ration care. Its a fool’s game practiced in Canada and Britain. It doesn’t work.

Soul Leister   August 16th, 2009 - 7:54 pm

As usual, the Raccoon eyed one cannot be taken seriously. Where was she when the left was jumping up and down with their nazi rhetoric against Bush? She was standing with them bashing Bush and anyone that supported him… so much for her pretending to have the moral high ground… she doesn’t have it (wouldn’t recognize it if she saw it). She should shut fowl holster and stop taking sides, seeing as she is always on the left (there is no reason to watch or listen to her pap).

robert bluejacket   August 16th, 2009 - 9:05 pm

“Are we really still debating health care when a man brings a handgun to a church where the President is speaking?” Ms. Katie Mouser.

Katie has to say things like this to show her buddies that she is one of them. They love to reassure each other of their loyalty to the agenda!

I haven’t watched the little bitty for years. She is irrelavent.

WTF?   August 16th, 2009 - 9:37 pm

The few that continue to watch Couric have already been indoctrinated by The Won® and are hopeless. The rest of us actually think about what’s being force-fed to us by the likes of this woman, and know a bad thing when we see it. Journalistic ethics and standards, for the most part, is dead in this country.

The Truth Be Told   August 17th, 2009 - 4:25 am

Democratic senator: Public health insurance option dead
http://edition.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/08/16/us.healthcare/index.html

WASHINGTON (CNN) — A key Senate negotiator said Sunday that President Obama should drop his push for a government-funded public health insurance option because the Senate will never pass it.

Democratic Sen. Kent Conrad of North Dakota said it was futile to continue to “chase that rabbit” due to the lack of 60 Senate votes needed to overcome a filibuster.

“The fact of the matter is there are not the votes in the United States Senate for a public option. There never have been,” Conrad said on “Fox News Sunday.”

His comment signaled a shift in the health care debate, with Obama and senior advisers softening their support for a public option by saying final form of the legislation is less important than the principle of affordable coverage available to all.

Does anyone still listen to Couric? I’d forgotten she was even around. Isn’t she the one who got that indie reporter busted for attempting to report on her receiving some excellence in reporting award?

PickMark   August 17th, 2009 - 8:10 am

When you accept a job as news anchor my opinion is that you must give up your job as commentator. I know that over the past few years (even during the time of Cronkite) it has become “fashionable” to give a seemingly reasoned opinion about the “great” issues of the day.

Couric doesn’t need to just be sure that we know that her “notebook” is an opinion piece, she needs to keep her opinion to herself. I know all about the first amendment, especially as applied to the press, but when your job is to REPORT the news not shape it then your opinion needs to be kept to yourself. If you want to be a commentator then accept that job, and give up the anchor spot.

I actually think CBS would breath a sigh of relief if she did.

James Norman   August 17th, 2009 - 8:25 am

Well I guess we all know what she thinks about people trying to take back their government from 100 years of growing tyranny. The debate is about the government spending and they still don’t get it. Heath care is the sideshow, the main event is this government spending more and more money than what they could ever take in taxes. Toss all of the bumbs out!

We sh/not be surprised. Schieffer was a better newsperson but they moved him out for her. This network has been Democrat stooges since Dan Rather replaced Walter Cronkite.

And the “Today” show is even worse but they never were journalistic, they just pretend to the title.

The swastika painted on the sign outside of Congressmen David Scott’s office was painted by one of his aides. It was a publicity stunt to make it look like town hall protesters did it. The problem that NONE of the buffoons in the media or in Congress get is that the town hall protesters are actually protesting against something akin to Nazism. Nazism is a form of Socialism. We are protesting Socialism.

Katie, take a trip outside of NYC once and awhile. There is a whole different world outside. We believe in individual liberty and the Constitution. Not Socialism and especially not Nazism.

Listen you dumb arse talking head. The people who are upset at obama’s attempt to control our lives are not uninformed. They have listened to your shading of the news and know that you are a liar. They have checked the facts and found obama wants us to be a nation under a dictator, obama. We are not going to put up with people, like you, that promote Communism. Whether it is you, obama or the rest of those democrats in congress that hate America we will not stand for it. As for the man in Arizona that had a rifle with him I can only ask “katy are you afraid of the constitution” This is still America although I am sure you would rather it be Amerika.

Hello, Katie, Earth too Katie……. It’s not a sidetrack and it’s the main reason YOU’RE on the air. It’s like breathing air, drinking water in the desert, or eating Ms. Couric. The first and second amendment are so close like those previously mentioned, your the one under a nazi type presentation, Mass media blinds, binds, and scares people into what those 2 amendments are about.

Too bad your intelligence isn’t what it used to be, like your popularity once was, beside intelligence. Put that in your journal, but don’t forget, your words don’t speak for all the people in this country, nor will your lies. Find a real job, do some real reporting, then the people that did respect you might again.

Proud American   August 18th, 2009 - 11:11 am

Katie Curic is one of the reason’s I don’t watch CBS. She is one of the Elitist in America. She thinks she’s better than other American’s. I don’t disagree with the people taking gun’s to the townhall meetings, that is a little to much and they are the kind of people who hinder the cause, but they are the few not the majority. As far as the swatica on the congressmand sign, we see that everyday as graffiti, no big deal, doesn’t mean it has anything to do with the townhall meetings. I am so sick of CBS, NBC, and ABC catering to the Obama administration that I try not to watch their stations if I can. They are so one sided in their views. At least Fox news will give credit where credit is DUE. They show both sides most of the time. I am so sick of the Elitist (Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Feinstein, Boxter, Kennedy, Frank, Waxman and so on). They think they are better and know what is best for We The People, as if we don’t know what’s best for ourselves. They will pass a bill even if the majority don’t agree, because THEY THINK IT’S WHAT’S BEST! We were the one’s who put them in office, so they should go with what the majority thinks, not what they want! WE NEED TO KEEP UP THE POWER OF THE PEOPLE MOVE!!!!!!!!!!

You go Katie. Don’t listen to these righ-wing nuts. They are so crazy they believe Fox is real news. In Canada, Fox is listed under entertainment and CNN is listed under news. Go ahead righties and watch your republican propaganda on Fox and believe every word it will serve the democrats well in the next election. Republicans are sore losers.

What an idiot is correct. I never thought she’d turn into that. I used to watch her all the time & now you couldn’t pay me enough.

Get a load of this town hall exchange….

Summary:
Tim Walz town meeting last week in Mankato. Young girl asks a tough question. Walz looks to former senator Senator David Durenberger (who he asked to “moderate”) to bail him out. Durenberger cuts off the girl (2:39) saying her questions (he calls them “comments”) are critical of the current legislation so he is going to move things on. The crowd politely boos, and forces Walz to respond. Walz responds with some nonsense about commodoties.

I just want people to know that when the “mob” boos liberal congressman, it isn’t to shut them up…it’s to get them to open up and answer (as poorly as they might) their constituents questions.
