CNN Host Blisters GOP Field With Dem Talking Points
CNN's Don Lemon launched a heavy defense of President Obama's apology for the Koran burnings in Afghanistan, in lieu of criticism Obama has received from GOP presidential candidates. In his Sunday night segment entitled "No Talking Points," Lemon ironically threw Democratic talking points at the Republicans.
Lemon claimed neutrality over Obama's apology before offering all the reasons why it is not the scandal Republicans are claiming it to be. Lemon quoted Presidents Bush, Clinton, and Reagan apologizing for the slave trade, the Abu Gharib prison scandal, and the internment of Japanese-American citizens during World War II. [Video below the break. Click here for audio.]
"Not up to me to decide whether President Obama should have apologized. He's not the first. He certainly won't be the last," stated Lemon. However, at the end he offered a parting shot to Republicans, and to Rick Santorum in particular.
"And if one of the GOP hopefuls ends up in the Oval Office, more likely than not, he too, at some point, will have to say sorry, my bad. And as Rick Santorum said at last week's debate, 'take one for the team'."

the ghey, Little Bradley Manning has been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize. Maybe Obama should give the slimy twink his. (Double entendre intended.)
Oh, and Bush shouldn't have apologized for Abu-Gharib; war is hell.

NO ONE watches that guy. He is extremely partisan. Do we really care what he says about anything?
I guarantee you that the CNN morning show with that highly partisan commentator and Dan Lemon will be gone after the 2012 election. CNN is using them until them to pimp for Obama but with the credibility gone and their ratings in the toilet they will be replaced.
Maybe they end up with Olberman but that station is rapidly filling up with progressive has beens.
DON LEMON = LIZ LEMON

He's going to have to up his game if he wants to contend with MSNBC.
His current act is nothing but a hissy-fit.

Lemmon is definitely on it. His and John Podesta's.
To more fully comprehend the Left, one must read “Leftism As Psychopathy” by John Ray, M.A., Ph.D. Caution, it might scare you a little bit.

CNN is the Obama defense network and you are surprised that all they are capable of spewing the DNC talking points? Without the DNC talking points they would just have dead air with a group of the clueless sitting around looking at each other and wondering what to do.
The staff at CNN is limited at best and incompetent at worst. Can you really imagine any of their "on air" personalities that are capable of independent thought or action? Mr. Lemon is only allowed to speak when either something extremely stupid or very racist needs to be announced from the DNC talking points.
