Crooks and Liars » Dennis Kucinich Slams ABC For Exclusion From Debate

Crooks and Liars » Dennis Kucinich Slams ABC For Exclusion From Debate:

"Democratic presidential contender Dennis Kucinich takes ABC to task for
excluding him from last night’s debate. He and wife Elizabeth and their
supporters marched outside of the debate forum in protest."


Without saying that there was a motive, other than the stated, behind this - I do think it was a bad choice for ABC.

Crooks and Liars » Tucker Carlson Tries And Fails To Portray Dennis Kucinich As America Hater

Crooks and Liars » Tucker Carlson Tries And Fails To Portray Dennis Kucinich As America Hater:

"Ohio Congressman and Democratic presidential candidate, Dennis Kucinich,
appeared on Tucker today and easily held his ground against the ever-whiny host.
Rep. Kucinich just returned from a fact finding visit to Syria and the no
ratings loser with a bow tie repeatedly pelted him with loaded questions in an
attempt to portray him as an America hater — and fails miserably. Kucinich
plowed right through Carlson’s spin and spoke calmly and rationally about the
political realities in the region and his experiences in Syria, including his
visits to Iraqi refugee camps outside Damascus where hundreds of thousands of
frightened Iraqis are hanging on by a thread."


A person who hates America is not going to put themselves in the line of fire to try and save what they think is great about America. Attacking people, and not their ideas is not only unfair, but it does nothing to show that you have a stronger point. If you did have a stronger point, why did you not just make your point and allow it be your strength.

Fox News Unfair? Dennis Kucinich Complains About ABC News

Fox News Unfair? Dennis Kucinich Complains About ABC News

* Congressman Kucinich was apparently deliberately cropped out of a "Politics Page" photo of the candidates.
* Sometime Monday afternoon, after Congressman Kucinich took a commanding lead in ABC's own on-line "Who won the Democratic debate" survey, the survey was dropped from prominence on the website.
* ABC News has not officially reported the results of its online survey.
* After the results of that survey showed Congressman Kucinich winning handily, ABC News, sometime Monday afternoon, replaced the original survey with a second survey asking "Who is winning the Democratic debate?"
* During the early voting Monday afternoon and evening, U.S. Senator Barack Obama was in the lead. By sometime late Monday or early Tuesday morning, Congressman Kucinich regained the lead by a wide margin in this second survey.
* Sometime Tuesday morning, ABC News apparently dropped the second survey from prominence or killed it entirely.
* AND, as every viewer of the nationally televised Sunday Presidential forum is aware, Congressman Kucinich was not given an opportunity to answer a question from moderator George Stephanopoulos until
28 minutes into the program.


Appears that at least one Democratic candidate is concerned that he is not getting fair treatment from ABC. What do you think? In looking at it, it could be that the data that the site had on the poll showed an irregularity - like one IP address that cast more than one vote. The rest of it, could be a intention to cut him out of the debate or it could be part of being in a crowded field and not scoring high in the polls.
