| Hillary Supporter Wants to do Violence to Russert |
| 2007-11-01 |
| HT Drudge Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s (D-N.Y.) top advisers, doing damage control after the candidate’s debate performance Tuesday, told supporters on a conference call Wednesday that the campaign needed more money to fight back. While one supporter voiced his concern that the Clinton campaign is not devoting enough money and staff to Iowa, lagging behind Obama, most supporters who commented on the call expressed their displeasure with what they saw as the moderators’ focus on Clinton. One caller from Oklahoma City said that “the questions … were designed to incite a brawl,” and that Russert’s and Brian Williams’s moderating was “an abdication of journalistic responsibility.” Another said Russert “should be shot,” before quickly adding that she shouldn’t say that on a conference call. Penn and Mantz said they were hearing a lot of the same sentiment from other supporters, but they do not plan to engage the media or the debate’s moderators. “We’re not challenging the media on that, but the sentiment you’ve expressed is obviously one I’ve heard,” Penn said. Seems they get a tad riled with a Prince of the Church of MSM doesn't genuflect their way... |

| #4 lot of people more deserving that a pip-squeak like Russert. Still, a good smack or two wouldn't hurt him. He *is* annoying. |

| #3 Shorter Drudge: Democrats treated (not even as shabbily) as Republicans by Russert. Shocked Dems say WTF? |
