LOL!..CNN’s Bob Franken Slip-up:

Democrats Eager to Undermine United States?

November 30, 2006

It may surprise conservatives, but CNN reporter Bob Franken alleged on Thursday’s "American Morning"

that Democrats are eager to label Iraq a civil war in order to undercut U.S. support for remaining in the country.

Considering the cable network’s cheerleading for the Democratic Party in the recently completed midterm elections,

this plainspoken statement must have been unintentional.

Franken’s comment came in the midst of an otherwise typical CNN report.

The segment highlighted how all respectable individuals and organizations call the conflict a civil war,

so why can’t President Bush?

Remarking on the popularity of the civil war terminology, Franken offered an explanation for the Democrats embrace of the phrase:

Bob Franken:

"But many experts say that designating this a civil war will undermine U.S. support even more, which might explain why so many Democrats are jumping on the bandwagon." LOL! LOL!

Perhaps someone should advise Mr. Franken, questioning the motives of Democrats,

even unintentionally, simply isn’t done at CNN.
