Dear Frank Putz,
Are you American first or Muslim first? Ask a born again christian that Frank, American is way down the list, God and Country , sound familiar? Ask Sheldon that one, he is Jewish first, Israeli second he just lives in America. I am a Jew first then a live somewhere. So once again go back to your rock and climb back under and say hello to Herr Rove when you get there.
The last decent focus group after a national tragedy I saw was done by Forrest Sawyer after 9/11 for NBC for three consecutive nights. Each night had a different theme and he handled the entire segments with a great deal of clarity and focus. Haven’t seen anything else after that that compares favorably.
CBS defers to Luntz as a “journalist” (??) REALLY? I mean WTF, Reeeaaaallllyyy?
Fuck You CBS! POS bunch of shit eating ass lickers!
Perhaps I may be too harsh… NOPE
Fuck you Luntz and the Grandmother you rode in to town upon.
I swear to dirt that he has the most punchable face in Spinamecerica.
Luntz is the darling of CBS Morning News. There is NO Dem representative equivalent EVER on CBS in the morning.
This little shit wanted to quit political life for awhile and wanted to try being an agent in Hollywood. Nobody wanted the little bastard.
There’s a special place in hell for someone like Luntz, who’s made his career “framing issues.” Guys like him are responsible for phrases like “death tax” and calling oil and coal “energy” rather than oil and coal. God, where’s karma when you need it.
Are we surprised? Most Murikans don’t want to understand how Murika’s policies abroad have created this massive wave of blow back. Let’s take Iran for example. What type of kountry would Iran be now if Murika and Once Great Britain hadn’t overthrown a DEMOCRATIKALLY elected gubment in Iran in 1953? What if we hadn’t supported all of those Arab dictators before they began, but supported leaders that wanted true freedom for their people, who would negotiate natural resource treaties that would’ve benefitted all?
On another note, I wasn’t surprised that Luntz gave the questioning about white, Khristo-Facist terrorism the Heisman Trophy still arm. It is astounding how the nation has it’s kollective head in the sand when it komes to domestic violence. I mean everyone should read The Turner Dairies, so that we kan know what the hell we’re dealing with
This is an example of no good deed going unpunished. Luntz did these guys a huge favor by editing out some of the comments. If you don’t believe me, let TPM ask CAIR or any other Muslim organization whether they’d really have preferred CBS to show a Muslim shouting at Luntz “are you American or Jewish?”
People have no idea how totally not-ready-for-prime-time regular people are. People like Luntz have a responsibility to save people from themselves just as a good defense attorney has a responsibility to control what his client says.
As for the questions themselves, it’s not as if Luntz stopped random Muslims on the street and asked insulting questions. This was a self-selected group who presumably volunteered to answer questions that other Americans might be interested in. Luntz did a pretty good job of portraying the panel in a sympathetic light while not seeming to ask only softball questions.
Sorry, that really unfair to the pig.
So, would you still characterize CBS as part of the “liberal media,” Mr. Luntz?
CBS: Corporatist Bull Shit.
