One could argue he should be fired but calling for his head on a pike I would not do. He is being criticized for violent rhetoric and I would not use violent rhetoric to express my disgust. I am not the thought police, I am just expressing my opinion.

MSNBC is in the tank for Obama so while I am disgusted to read and hear what Keith say I am not surprised. I don’t watch MSNBC I don’t feel you get fair and balanced news there like you do on some of the other cables networks.

“I have to agree that Sonia is not exactly helping the cause”

Well I don’t take responsibility for “Sonia” and “Sonia” is free to represent (presumably) herself as she wishes, be judged for that delivery just like whiteyflesh. Making others accountable for Sonia is rather stupid. I’m no more accountable for Sonia’s words than those of trollster Whiteyflesh. I’m no more responsible for Whiteyflesh than I am Susan or Larry J.

You judge me for my stupid incipid comments and bad spelling and leave others to themselves.

Agree Fly…There was so much corruption that happened down here…Over 2000 complaints of voter fraud and intimidation….They should have never held the convention until there was an investigation….Well you saw the video…It was embarrassing….

To Obama supporters: Please read the following text from the Olbermann-Fineman dialogue. I’ve substituted Obama for Clinton and manipulated the context a bit to change it from sexist (male takes female into room, only he comes out) to racist (party of superdelegates takes Obama into a room, but only they come out). Maybe this will help you understand why some of us (especially women) are offended. And I used to like Keith Olbermann.

“FINEMAN: Oh, I think there‘s been talk of retribution. I know there‘s been talk of retribution for weeks… What this is going to require, at some point,…there‘s some adults somewhere in the Democratic Party to step in and stop this thing like a referee in a fight that could go on for 30 rounds. That‘s what‘s going on. Those are the super-super-superdelegates who are going to have to really decide this.

OLBERMANN: Right. The superdelegates who are adult and can take Obama in a room and only they come out — that kind of a question.”

Offensive?

Can’t speak for Obama folks, but as a Hillary supporter, Democrat, and liberal I find it offensive in BOTH contexts.

Definitely the corporate agenda is foremost, IMO.
Look at who does about 80 or 90% of the commercials. Pharmaceuticals. Insurance companies.

Who is the one pushing for universal health insurance at lower rates that covers everyone? Who spent years fighting them, both in the Nineties and over Medicare prescription drug coverage that made them millions and screwed seniors? Who gave GE a hard time over PCBs in the Hudson and ordered them to clean it up? (That would be Bill). Which they still have not but probably would have to under Hill.

Miscogny and sexism are big, too, but the campaign to destroy Hillary comes from the top. They are very very afraid of her. Which is how I knew she was the better candidate, one who would actually “change” things.

Hey, rjj, seriously, I think you are right.
I never thought of that, but I have been wondering a lot about his total personality change. The best I could come up with is he was taken over by aliens (not the Lou Dobbs kind, but, you know, the real ones), and had a chip implanted, but no, it’s just Viagra.

I agree! MSNBC is pathetic to condone these comments.

I agree..I receive email alerts from NOW and have not once seen any call to action against this sexist and chauvinistic behavior. I’m extremely disappointed in NOW’s unwillingness to stand up against this atrocious behavior. What MSNBC is doing is disgraceful and down right disgusting. KO, Shusters, Matthews and Russert should be FIRED just like IMUS. Every single one of them are pigs.

Actually, I find Sonia’s posts to be troubling in their own way — and I’m a solid Hillary supporter and regular here at NoQuarter. Even if I totally disagree with 99.9% of what Whiteyfresh, et al, say, I have to agree that Sonia is not exactly helping the cause.

Most of the time here on NQ it’s an interesting place to read the blog posts, and discuss it. Sometime we get frustrated with the drive-by trolldom and engage in some snark for sport (though, now that Obama is tanking, the “sometimes” becomes too often.) So yeah.. just because someone supports Hillary, doesn’t mean we all agree with what they’re writing…

Just as you don’t agree with the Obama fans who have been threatening violence in Denver. Right?
