Carville, Begala Temporarily Banned From CNN After Obama Complaints

Talking Points Memo:

Okay, this is interesting. I've just learned that CNN has told top Dem strategists James Carville, Paul Begala, and Robert Zimmerman -- who are CNN mainstays but are all Hillary supporters -- that they will not be doing any more political analysis on the network until the Democratic primary has reached a conclusion.

I'm also told that this move came after the Obama campaign repeatedly complained to high level officials at CNN about the presence of Carville and Begala on the network.

As General George S. Patton said in WWII when he was going after German General Rommel in a decisive battle of their commands, Paul and James, "I read your book!".

Too bad the Democratic Party decided to disregard your advice.

Can't wait till the Obama people start defending political censorship.

[OhPlease2007]

Are you saying that the Obama camp bowled CNN over, like a tank, with all their positive 'hope' so CNN gave a couple of average pundits, who have absolutely no bearing in how people will vote, the hook? Well, if this is true, is it finally official in proving what we already knew, in that, Obama is as much of a 'honest uniter' as, George W. Bush??? Are we now living in communist China where we stamp out the 1st Amendment if it doesn't serve the political purposes of federally elected politicians put into office -&- salaried on the backs of the tax-payers? Is this truly what America really stands for? Sorry, but in my opinion, once again, this is the kind of bogus change that we all *can't* believe in. Unreal.

Edwards '08!

To ban two advocates of a Presidential candidate from a public forum because the other candidate's supporters objected is definitely a form of censorship.

This is the result of allowing the Military/Industrial Complex to purchase the MSM. Deregulation of all aspect of business has been another failure of the Republican Party.

History has shown that monopolies, just like kingdoms, that control the independent lead to dominance of the masses and eliminate representative government.

Write CNN and complain if you still believe you have the right to hear both sides an issue.

Obama says nothing -- you call him weak.

Obama stands up against lies and misinformation -- you call it whining.

Actually, you whine about his complaining, given the fact that he's actually doing something while you're sitting around complaining.

And again -- if Hillary stands on her experience, why won't she release her records to the public?

[poeticjustice4all]

Obama needs to stop complaining and start campaigning. Does the junior senator seriously think he's just going to skate into the highest office in the land?

He should quit whining and get back to his fairytale of hope and love and color-blind unity. Cheesy, yes. But the press was sure eating it up. I haven't read one thing about Barack this week that wasn't a story featuring his complaints.

What makes this politician imagine he could just cry "foul" and have people politely move out of his path to the White House? It's starting to look like this man has a personality disorder.

Well, well, well...loo­k who can't stand the heat. I suppose MSNBC might pick them up or maybe FOX. That would be a real free for all. They could take on Chris Matthews, Tucker, Joe Scarborough or Hannity. That be some good TV

[testerwebbdemocrat]

If he can't face CNN, how can he face Al-Qaeda?

What a rookie.

[realitytrumpsbull]

The guy on the right looks like a cross between E.T. and my deceased grandmother, will someone please buy that man a hat? Some people can do that chrome-dome thing and it works for em, but that just doesn't look right, somehow.

Kucinich gave it up, so that leaves one reformer: Paul.

[Serfie]

Wow, the Obamanistas and the McCain lovers dominate the airwaves, and CNN kicks off the only Clinton supporters that exist.

CNN is a disgrace as a news organizations; it doesn't surprise me.

[AnninCA]

That's funny. Good grief, the politics of fear from the man of hope.

[snruB]

Plus, Carville looks like an alien. He's got a face for AM Radio

[nomobull]

question who told you his campaign complained

[sarnold49]

Is everyone idiots? That is what Bush pulled and turned the media into a propaganda machine now Obama is doing the same thing and this time it is acceptable! The Obama supporters are on CNN constantly. Hell CNN might as well come out and endorse Obama. America is lost folks accept it!
