In response to "Right-wing radio host Laura Ingraham proclaimed "It’s one of the best political speeches I have heard — ever!"" by Guy

It's being praised by pretty much anyone without an agenda involved as well.

there's been 4 big time speeches the last 9 days. If you can't enjoy them for the quality, you're in the wrong business.

Responses:

i thought some of the speeches were very good. i just think this comment is a little bit over-the-top. - Guy Sep 4, 11:02 4
- Considering the stakes, the only one better, I've heard this cycle was Hillary's last week. - Will Hunting Sep 4, 11:04 2
  - i liked Huck's for getting his point across without resorting to insults and i actually thought Thompson's was effective - Guy Sep 4, 11:10
  - my sweeping generaliation about convention speeches: any serious candidate should be able to knock it out of the park. - mafic Sep 4, 11:09
- *spit take* -- nm - Beaker Sep 4, 11:03
It is being praised as a speech and speechmaking - Gwaahjo Sep 4, 11:02
it was good, but in contrast to the dems speeches last week I found it lacking. - mafic Sep 4, 11:01 5
- There were plenty of attacks on McCain last week. The entire week was essentially "McCain=Bush!!!" -- nm - Ender Sep 4, 11:06 2
  - That is an attack? -- nm - Spawn Sep 4, 11:13 1
    - Yes. From the talk you'd think they spent all of last week talking up Obama's lofty ideals. - Ender Sep 4, 11:18
- agreed on your IM. they were being downright childish at some points. - Guy Sep 4, 11:05
- (though in fairness, I suppose Obama did have that whole "McCain just doesn't get it." bit) - mafic Sep 4, 11:05
And even Paul Begala gave it a "B", so even the reasonable ones with agenda's aren't panning it. *NM* - Ender Sep 4, 11:01 2
- I gave it a 7. She delivered it well, but as speechcraft it was a meh. -- nm - Reagen Sep 4, 11:07
- i dont believe ive panned it except to point out how frequently she fudged the facts -- nm - Guy Sep 4, 11:06
