Napolitano on NY Bomb – no evidence “anything other than a one-off”

Priority #1 is learning who is behind it, fingers crossed, hoping it turns out to be a nutcase republican. If it turns out to be a nutcase democrat we’ll never hear of it. Like the one that flew into the Texas federal building a few months ago, right ABC?

Personally, I think it’s pretty sad anyone would hope a bomber belongs to one particular party or the other

I do too. Send your concerns to borak obama!

Are you serious? The Texas Federal Bldg story was all over the news, including plenty of coverage at ABC. You’d have to have been hiding under a rock to have missed it.

Curious, what is Al Sharpon speaking about and who/what does he represent?

Why is Bill Mahr, a comedian, on this political show? It’s a joke seeing George Will and Mill Mahr sitting at the same table debating politics. Mahr showed his comic roots when he declared that Brazil was off of oil!
This program should get serious about the people they invite to debate serious issues.

Since when is Bill Mahr qualified to report or comment on NEWS in anyhting other than a comedic format. Is ABC trying to rival the Comedy Channel. Or as a prior commentor noted are you gong to bring Limbaugh, Hannity and Beck on too. Why not make it a free for all.
Guest should be qualified, not jesters, purely there for entertainment.
That is the problem with news today everybody has an OPINION, they do not report the facts. What ever happenned to the ethics of Morrow and Cronkite??

What a crock of BS. Katrina, Maher and and Sharpton??? Keep up the good
work Tapper- putting really HONEST people on the show. Talk about spitting hate.
GO ARIZONA!!!!
An Independent.

This was the last sunday morning show I would watch because I felt it had civil debate and discussion. Today was a circus! I don’t care which point of view you take. This display of rancor was far from this program’s finest hour. Oh and for the record– there are 1280 wells off of southeast coast of Brazil and 971 off gulf of mexico. A disgusted long time viewer. ABD NEWS did Tapper no favors today!

George might as well as had a bulls eye on the way wackos on today’s show targeted him. What’s this about—hate George Day! Never had Sharpton and looney lady on again!

Al Sharpton, Bill Mahr?? Really. That’s the best you could do? What those two have to say is totally irrelevant. I watched about half of the program then turned it off. I set my recorder for this? Pretty sad. Hoping for a better showing next week.

I don’t think I can watch your show anymore. Who is this Katrina, who answers everybody’s questions for them, interupts everybody all the time. And Al Sharpton is a joke. How many times has he been arrested? Poor George Wills. I almost wish he was a loud mouth like Katrina and Al, so he could get a word in. At least he brings facts to the table. Good by This Week. Sorry George, I can’t take it anymore

Thanks alot Jake – for giving me the dubious opportunity to watch Sharpton and Katrina overtalk everyone. And why in the world Mahr? Jake you lost control of your show and you never will have control with the likes of these panelists. It was difficult to understand what each panelist was saying due to the pandimonium.

So I turn on THIS WEEK as I always do on Sunday morning. I have found it much more intellectual than the other guys on MEET THE PRESS. Scrap “intellectual”! Sharpton and Maher on the same show? The Reverand Al is no more than a race baiting charlatan who has made a fortune fanning the flames of class division. As for Maher, his comment, “Not all Republicans are racists but all racists are Republicans” speaks for itself. You can do better…please do

You need to know this Jake… I watch Imus.
You said that vanden Huevel is an attractive woman! Someone must have poked you in both eyes!! Her eyes are as lovely as newly hatched bird’s bellies*! That hook nose and her pallid skin tone belies a witch, at which point we arrive at her demeanor, a poisonous concoction of bile and putrefaction!
*-(With every possible apology to all newly hatched birds though).

Ellen K, you are too kind. To qualify him as a lightweight implies he has any heft at all…intellectual is to propose the impossible!!! LOL
*-(the Disney family members would most definitely be concerned about the positions ABC espouses.)

Jake…I think you could find a more intellectual panel if you just searched the streets. Katrina,Bill and Al have agendas. They don’t even know what they are talking about. Bill Maher’s comments about racists and Republicans and you ALLOWING it, is the reason the country is having such social problems. The person who made the best comments based on “reality” was Matthew Dowd. He gets it. What he said about immigration is exactly what is happening all over the country. As for disasters…they will always happen but it would be nice if they weren’t turned into political “advantage.” I hope you do better next week.

I was coming to complain about the idiots like Mahr, and that Communist shrill shill Katrina, but it appears that virtually everyone with a brain has beaten me to it. What we are given every week is Will, the only one who comes armed with intelligence and those pesky little things called facts, and on the other side Bill Mahr, who thinks Brazil with some of the largest off shore oil reserves in world runs on sugar cane, and that all racists are Republicans. Apparently, he never attended Rev. Wright’s, or most other Black churches in the United States, or he would know what Black racism looks like. ABC will soon go the way of CNN: no viewers and therefore, completely irrelevant.

“Brazil is the second leading oil producer in South America, producing 5 times more oil than biofuel.”
This is sophistry. Being an oil producer is the opposite of being dependent on oil. Brazil PRODUCES oil, but have more than any other large country reduced consumer and national DEPENDENCE on it — due to the sugarcane ethanol program as Maher tried to explain to you. It’s the consumption that is relevant to the discussion of energy policy in the US. It’s our consumer dependence that drives our political willingness to give oil companies access to our environment (see: Palin, Sarah and Gingrich, Newt). We would not have risky drilling if the only argument made by the industry was profit. They have those permits because politicians convinced people that this would help our domestic supply and reduce mideast dependency (of course, neither the industry or the politicians actually believe(d) this). Bottom line: Maher is spot on; Will was trying to change the subject because his position is no longer tenable.

This Week has hit rock bottom.
With the exception of George Will, the guest are for the most part a big joke. Having people like Rev. Al, Anita Dunn (a couple of weeks ago) idiot Maher and who ever the loud mouth no solution Katrina on there is a complete joke. The list can go on. I’m going to have to quit watching this week because it simply serves no purpose other than to make my blood boil. Tapper doesn’t nothing to moderate the debates, nor ask the tough question or follows up when the spin starts during the interviews
George, you are a brilliant man. I’ve read your book One Man’s America and it is great. When you have a line up like you had today, it is best not to waist your time. I applauded your effort on the show and in the green room; I could see the pain you were enduring.

So we can’t ask for ID now without it being racists, even though asking for ID that proves you are legal in the country is a federal law, and is also done by every other soveriegn country with borders in the world regardless of race. The rest of the world is using common sense.
What is next, no racial profiling of a bank robbery or murder suspect?

Maher is over qualified for a village idiot. It’s comforting to find out I’m probable a racist.. I thought ABC fired that person once..George W. kept his cool when everyone flipped.. Sharpton has one issue.. fanning the race discourse..What Bible does he read? ABC continues to sink to new levels.. George W; should get the Noble Peace prize for staying with this sad news organization

36 years as Senior Pastor x 52 Sundays = 1872 sermons. And you have listened to or read what % ?
Apparently President Obama came to the same ignorant conclusion about Black racism as he had very strong words for Mr. Wright – once he actually listened to him.

I must confess I haven’t and don’t plan to. I’ve heard enough. Opra Winfrey and your hero cut and ran from him pretty quickly.

Lame.

And show me the quote where the President says the Reverend is a black racist. Guess what? You won’t – because there is no such quote.

Today, Obama called Wright’s statements “divisive,” “racially charged” and “views that denigrate both the greatness and the goodness of our nation.” Jake Tapper, March 18, 2008
You still haven’t told what % of his sermons you have heard or read the complete sermon that led to your favorable conclusion (or is it just that you don’t hear the hate because you hate America too).
I watched his 2007 Christmas Sermon on YouTube. The last couple of minutes were very enlightening. Very much in tune with the spirit of the arrival of the Savior. I listed to all four parts so I’m pretty sure I got the message.

So then you believe that President Obama was wrong in his assessment of Rev Wright. He really is a good Christian pastor who preaches the Word of God. You believe that Obama should have stood by his side, defended him, and blasted his critics for taking Wright out of context and smearing his name. And Obama should have remained a member of his church.

I am still fuming over yesterday’s show.
Since when does a commedian enter into
any serious discussion. Bill Maher sat there with his smug face and offered no
response to the immigration problem but
to call Republicans racist. I was a fan
of Sunday Morning until yesterday. How
about inviting someone from the audiance to voice there opinion. I’m
sure they could do better.
If these are all you can find to come
on your show. I will be switching off.
you want to

Hey everyone… Do what Janet asked …..Keep on your toe’s!
She is about as usefull as ______ You fill in the blank. Just a Political Hack with nothing more to do than wait for her next assignment.

Janet’s luck is going to run out. She has no clue how to run HS. She has no idea if this is isolated or if 10 more are planned. She needs to bring her D- up to a C or she will need to be put on academic probation.
