Tim Russert Dies of Apparent Heart Attack[views:2501][posts:11]_________________________________ [Jun 13,2008 4:20pm - W3 nli ""] [img] NY Times: Tim Russert, the host of “Meet the Press,” and NBC’s Washington bureau chief, has died. He was 58. Mr. Russert was a towering figure in American journalism and moderated several debates during the recent presidential primary season. Tom Brokaw, the former anchor of NBC Nightly News, came on the air at 3:39 p.m. and reported that Mr. Russert had collapsed and died early this afternoon while at work. He had just returned from Italy with his family. “Our beloved colleague,” a grave Mr. Brokaw called him, one of the premier journalists of our time. He said this was one of the most important years in his life, with his deep engagement in the network’s political coverage, and that he “worked to the point of exhaustion.” Mr. Brokaw said Mr. Russert was a true child of Buffalo and always stayed in touch with his blue collar roots and “the ethos of that community.” He said Mr. Russert had just moved his father, who is in his late 80s, from one facility to another in Buffalo. He said he loved his family, his Catholic faith, his country, politics, the Buffalo Bills, the New York Yankees and the Washington Nationals. “This news division will not be the same without his strong, clear voice,” Mr. Brokaw said. |

And also that it’s not okay to use the word schwarze. That’s a major political risk, a roll of the dice that might cost Obama Ohio, but could, beyond that, help bring pressure to bear on Israel to change its egregious policies. Because most American Jews, as I’ve noted elsewhere on this blog, are far more progressive than their ostensible leaders. But Tim Russert doesn’t want to hear about any of that. Because if he could have had just one more minute tonight to work through his interrogation techniques, Obama would have cracked under the harsh glare of the lights. He would have broken wide open on national television, screaming that the guy, yeah, that one, in the third row, with the curly hair and the Chai necklace, is a kike. Then Obama would have admitted that he is a Muslim. And that he’ll choose the reanimated corpse of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad as his running mate. And America would have had the answers it needs. Because Barack Obama isn’t courageous. Tim Russert is. http://edgeofthewest.wordpress.com/2008/02...t-bad-for-the-jews-and-for-america/ Watch yourselves, goyim. God and Zog are both here to make sure you stay in line, you snivelling cattle. |

I like the Democrats, because they're going to break down the Anglo-American club and make this country a messy ethnic mix, just like Jews! |

[img] The Complete Guide on How to Deal with Bill O’Reilly’s ambush producers Bill O’Reilly uses typical tabloid journalism tactics to sneak up and sandbag you so you will be off guard and a bit unprepared to answer his questions. Usually he seeks out people that refuse to appear on his show or are unavailable for commenting on a particular topic. He’ll send his team to your house or apartment—someplace that used to be off limits so you will be vulnerable. That’s the type of interviews his ambush producers—including flunkie Jesse Watters revels in. Not many of us would have the grace to handle it the way Bill Moyers does here. So back to my simple guide on how to deal with this level of un-professionalism: 1) When Watters and crew jump out of a bush or from behind a parked car and surprise you, don’t be shocked. Instead just smile and say, “You must be Jesse Watters from the O’Reilly factor, so nice to see you…” This will momentarily knock him off guard because he’s expecting you to cower from the sight of his microphone and cameras. That’s nonsense. The microphone and cameras are your friends—remember that. Repeat. The microphone and cameras are “your friends” 2) Look directly into the camera and say, “Hi, Bill, how are you? I’m so glad you tracked me down at my super market (or gas station, bank, local mall, but most probably in your parking garage or front door.) My wife/child/friend is very sick and I’m on my way to help them.” 3) Now comes the critical time. When he asks you his misleading or false question about a bogus issue that Bill O’Reilly has trumped up to his FOX news audience, say: “I’ll be happy to answer your questions, Jesse, but can I ask you something first? Are you embarrassed to be working for a man that got sued for sexual harassment by Andrea Mackris and lost millions of dollars? Jesse will look puzzled at first, so repeat this phrase. Aren’t you embarrassed to be working for a man that got sued for sexual harassment by Andrea Mackris and lost millions of dollars? Don’t you have any decency? Aren’t you ashamed by that?” 4) Watters will try to avoid the question by saying ‘I’m here to ask the questions,’ after he gets over the shock of your initial response to him. Remember, the camera is your friend. They can–and will–edit out anything they want, so he may hang in there for some time to try and get some usable footage. Stay strong. Ask him over and over again the same question until he responds. He may stop rolling the camera but you can’t trust him because they may try to make it look like they aren’t recording. That’s dangerous territory so here’s a basic rule: Once Jesse Watters jumps into your space, everything is being recorded. Period. He may stop and look around and say, “I get it. You’re trying to play with me.” Just smile and say that you’re only trying to understand Bill O’Reilly. Remember, the tape is always rolling. 5) If he says the doesn’t know anything about it and tries to ask you a question again, please tell him to go to this website and see for himself. There are over 20 pages available for him to get familiar with Bill’s loofah fetish. Please memorize this URL (http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/1013043mackris1.html). After a few repetitions, you’ll know this like the back of your hand. It’s really easy to do. The only downside maybe that you might hear the website address playing inside your head for a while; kind of like when a song gets stuck there. Don’t try and force it out, silently let the web address finish to completion and then just think about something else. It will soon disappear from your thoughts. But if you try to force it away, it will not leave. 6) As a follow-up, ask him if he knows how much money Andrea Mackris was awarded to settle the suit out of court. If he doesn’t know, say that you’ve seen reports which estimates the sum at around 6 million dollars. Ask him if he thinks that is a lot of money. 7) Ask Jesse Watters if he owns a condo in NYC. Then tell him that Andrea Mackris bought a new condo as soon as she settled the case. Ask him if that’s cool. Ask him if he’s jealous and wishes Bill O’Reilly made sexual advances to him so he could sue and buy himself a condo in NYC. Tell him that you’d like to buy one across from Central Park; you just love the view. 8) If he continues trying to get you to answer his questions, then pivot off Mackris and say, “OK, let me ask you this one: “Did you feel bad that Bill O’Reilly blamed a fourteen year old boy named Shawn Horbeck for getting himself kidnapped and held hostage for four years by the deviate Michael Devlin, so he could be sexually molested?” Use this link for reference. Ask Jesse if he believes in the Stockholm Syndrome. If he doesn’t know what that is—tell him: The Stockholm incident compelled journalists and social scientists to research whether the emotional bonding between captors and captives was a “freak” incident or a common occurrence in oppressive situations. They discovered that it’s such a common phenomenon that it deserves a name. Thus the label, Stockholm Syndrome, was born. It has happened to concentration camp prisoners, cult members, civilians in Chinese Communist prisons, pimp-procured prostitutes, incest victims, physically and/or emotionally abused children, battered women, prisoners of war, victims of hijackings, and of course, hostages. Virtually anyone can get Stockholm Syndrome if the following conditions are met: Perceived threat to survival and the belief that one’s captor is willing to act on that threat; The captive’s perception of small kindnesses from the captor within a context of terror; Isolation from perspectives other than those of the captor; Perceived inability to escape. Tell him that Bill O’Reilly doesn’t believe in the Stockholm syndrome. Ask him if he’d like to be kidnapped by a pedophile to test its legitimacy. If he says no, then tell him that you think Shawn Hornbeck probably didn’t want to test that theory either, but he had no choice. Doesn’t he feel bad that Shawn Hornbeck was kidnapped and molested for four years? If he says yes, then say, “Will Bill O’Reilly apologize to Scott on air?” If he says he doesn’t know, then ask him if he knew that Bill O’Reilly was cancelled from being the main speaker at the Missing Kids dinner in Florida because of his behavior. 9) You’ll see Jesse Watters face turn red by this time, but he may feel that you’re out of ammo and will still try to get you to say something or do something, even if it’s out of context so he can bring it back to his boss. Be strong, you’re almost done. If he tries again to ask you about whatever nonsensical Factor outrage of the day. Remember, the camera is your friend. If you get nervous just repeat your name and where you work. Then ask him if he was as shocked as O’Reilly was that African Americans didn’t say: “Mother f&^ker, I want more ice tea at Sylvia’s restaurant in Harlem?” He may recoil from this or agree with O’Reilly that he too was surprised nobody got shot while they ate their dinner in Harlem. 10) Ask Jesse how he likes Michelle Obama. If he balks and tries to ask you HIS question, just smile and say will he join Bill O’Reilly in the lynching party of Michelle Obama? In a discussion of recent comments made by Michelle Obama, Bill O’Reilly took a call from a listener who stated that, according to “a friend who had knowledge of her,” Obama ” ‘is a very angry,’ her word was ‘militant woman.’ ” O’Reilly later stated: “I don’t want to go on a lynching party against Michelle Obama unless there’s evidence, hard facts, that say this is how the woman really feels. If that’s how she really feels — that America is a bad country or a flawed nation, whatever — then that’s legit. We’ll track it down.” Ask Jesse if he prefers to wear white hoods at his lynching parties. He may have several colors to choose from. 11) Jesse probably will either give up or try valiantly one last time. There’s a wealth of subjects to pull from at a moment’s notice for any sandbagging producer. Here’s a few: a) How do you feel about Dick Morris being a lead political analyst after he was exposed paying for hookers that sucked his toes? Do you like your toes sucked, too? b) How does it feel to know that Oliver North sold weapons to Iran to fund another war? Even though he was acquitted on a technicality, the fact that he sold weapons to Iran cannot be disputed. Isn’t he a traitor to America? So why does Bill have him on as an expert? c) Isn’t it creepy to know that Newt Gingrich divorced his very sick wife while she was dying in the hospital? What kind of character does that show? Can you really trust his opinion on such important matters as the Iraq war and health care? d) Do you think OJ was guilty? Didn’t Mark Fuhrman blow the OJ Simpson case? Isn’t it weird that he’s now an expert analyst for FOX News? That should do it. He’ll be long gone before you can ask him about Rick Santorum’s “man-on-dog” deal…So, there you go. A handy step-by-step guide to ward off the mosquito-like Bill O’Reilly camera crews and producers. After a few minutes of study, you’ll be able to deal with anything that comes your way. And always remember, the camera is your friend.… |
