psst, hey joan, hope this helps

LOL…..Willy….help me out here.

Sorry hon…..you are the one with the big mouth.

I am wondering how these guys will like their little Utopia once we really are broken and once we really have that Chinese style economy and once nobody advertises on cable TV anymore and once there isn’t a need for more than one state run news service. What then?

Joan Walsh is  several things: a big mouth who gets joy out of smashing and demeaning ‘the other side’ and a truly small person who has a real mean streak in her.  Challenge her and you’ll see that mean streak and it isn’t pretty.
She is one of those media types who have lost the ability to be even handed and that being the case, she shouldn’t be speaking and writing any message, opinion or diatribe about and/or to ANYONE.

Oh, I think she should have been able to list the group of morons on MSNBC and CNN and ……………..

Yuck ‘em all!

>:o

Nice one.

I love the producer in the back room saying ‘just read an op ed! just read an op ed!’

The Ed Schultz clip reminded me of this scholarly defense of the president’s regime:

When did FLOTUS break down like that?

american girl, thanks for watching what i no longer can. i’ll take your word about the video. =-O  and and i agree with every word in your excellent posting.

This is one of my faves…..

But will you take a chicken for that?

That group of morons are all loose cannons. BTW, why did Shuster get fired? I missed that one.

OMG–Someday Joan Walsh will wish that she could buy up all copies of this embarrassment and burn them.  Too late!   You can always count on Hardball to dish the idiocy!

Obama? A bridge builder??

Well…………….. I suppose we’ll we need bridges on the road to Hell?

he interviewed and filmed a test segment with CNN.

oh the video is really funny, you should watch it.

I wonder if Joan knows about this!!!!!!

Former governor Rod Blagojevich’s defense team asked Thursday to issue a trial subpoena to the President of the United States of America.
The motion, intended to be heavily redacted, was improperly edited — the full document was easily viewable if the text is copied and pasted to another document.

1. Obama may have lied about conversations with convicted fraudster Tony Rezko
Blagojevich’s lawyers allege that Rezko admitted breaking the law by contributing “a large sum of cash” to a public official. Blagojevich’s attorneys say that public official is Obama. Obama said that Rezko never relayed a request from a lobbyist to hold a fundraiser in favor of favorable legislative action. But the point may be moot: regardless of Obama talking/not talking to Rezko, Blagojevich’s attorneys say that Obama refused the request regardless.
http://www.nbcchicago.com/blogs/ward-room/The-Six-Secrets-You-Need-to-Know-From-the-Blagojevich-Filing-91848634.html

Mike Malloy and Randi Rhodes are two radio people on the left who are maybe somewhat equal to Beck and Limbuagh if you consider Rush and Limbaugh to be two people who just are screamers and not capable of debate or critical thought.  If you like Beck and Limbaugh, then they are not comparable. Malloy and Rhodes are definitely screamers though.

That’s some seriously spiked Kool Aid she is drinking.

And some good intentions. We haven’t seen a lot of those yet.

BLAGO ASKS TO SUBPOENA OBAMA

“Maddow is just an intolerable snarker.”

Ain’t it the truth.  She’s prematurely prune-faced.

“Maddow is just an intolerable partisan snarker.”

Ain’t it the truth.  She’s prematurely prune-faced.

what the hell is she talking about?

You know they were talking about Keith O but gosh, don’t dare say his name it or you might get fired at MSNBC when Keithy throws a tantrum.  Frankly I think Donny Deutsch is a douche 99% of the time, but even so, it must chap his ass he probably got fired for offending such a no ratings loser:

AGiI,

I had to watch Mika several times, too, bedcause it WAS funny!  From now on I am going to answer any O defender claiming lefty superiority by doing that thing she did with her hand and saying, “Seriously, It’s like Blaa, Blaa, Blaa  I don’t see it.”

Joan is out of gas, as it were. That she cannot find a leftwing extremist speaks volumes about her and the left, by proxy. I don’t care for Rush at all but think Glenn is doing a good job at exposing the left and its hypocrisy and is also a significant thorn in her other talking end.

Joan Walsh understand racism and hatred. I think she is in a better position to understand someone like President Obama.

http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2000/02/17/guilty

Good for Mika!

Embarrassing for Joan. We like to see black people do better so it makes us feel better? It only makes you feel better if you are guilty of something – say, um…racism.

Most people, who are not racist, feel better when anyone of any skin color does well.

HA!!!HA!!

LOL, we’re good, we’re good.  I never thought Mika had it in her.  And joan, buy yourself a clue.

Sara, that’s exactly what I said in July when I wrote this

AMEN! AMEN and i am sending this article to my relatives and friends!!
LOVE THE POST!

I am definitely with you on this.  I could not believe she actually said that.  It implies that the black people can do better only with the help of typical white women like her.

you didn’t watch the videos in my post, did you?

Tango, here’s the video

i was rolling. i couldn’t believe she went there. 

and here’s one I made for Ed Schultz

Great post Sara, and so glad to see you back!

:-[ :*

Have you ever listened to Mike Malloy? He is worse than anything I have ever heard come from Beck or Limbaugh. Waaaaay worse. What he does IS hate speech. I am usually very supportive of “free speech” but in Mike Malloy’s case it IS “hate speech” and should not be allowed.

Randi Rhodes? Less said about her the better. She’s so bad she actually makes Joan Walsh look like she has some class.

Funny how Lice like Joan Walsh call others for hate speech and engage in it so often. My goodness, that would be hypocritical now wouldn’t it?

Either Walsh is dumber than a corn flake or she thinks the rest of the world is. Great day in the morning when even a nitwit like Mika makes you look a fool it’s time to find another profession.

THE STORY BEHIND THE STORY

Joe Scarborough was publicly repremanded by his boss after he said that Olbermann’s on-air conduct was disgusting. The suggestion was that it would not be tollerated again.

So, that is what Mika was refering to when she said, “We’re good”.  She was saying that hateful leftist commentator number one was on the Morning Joe do not critisize list.

What???  Obama lied!?  Well, I am shocked!  Just shocked I tell you!

haha.

I do so keep hoping that one of his lies will win him a birhgt orange jump suit and an inside look into a prison.  Maybe I will have my hopes realized one day.  With all those lies there is bound to be one that trip shim up!  Just one.  That is all I’m asking.  Please?

I’m sorry, I missed the Ed Schultz one.  I’m bouncing back and forth between topics and got confused! But I agree with you 100%!

How about a 2 iron in the windshield?

we are ALL becoming our own version of Joan Walsh
imo, I really can’t stand listening to any of them anymore
I’ve made up my mind after reading ten THOUSAND articles from all places (NOT loony fringe huffnpuff pieces mind you) but still I feel the same stubborn urge to just stand up and scream to someone like her to SHUT THE HAIL UP I DO NOT CARE ANYMORE WHAT YOUR EXCUSE IS…………..just tell it to someone who cares (or believes you)  I’m over it.   NEXT (vote please)

Gotta love Blago. Subpoenaing “The Changeling” and Rezko to court. Bet Rahm’s next on the list. Going for broke, Chicago style…

Is this woman for real?

Obama makes white people feel like he knows were all trying really hard, and we like it when black people make us feel that way?

Joan Walsh, building a bridge to crazy.

LMAO, AC

roflmbo!  yea ok!

If I were Hot Rod I’d be watching over my shoulder.

Oh my,  if the connection between Rezko, Obama, and Blagojevich is that close to being revealed, Barky must be sweating profusely.  

The number one reason in the Chicago article connects the dots with the opening statements of the Rezko trial.  

Rezko/Blago/Obama is brought out in the newspapers

Arizona puts birth certificate/documentation issue to a vote

Obama burns up 9000 gallons of jet fuel on Earth Day

William Black rips the feds a new one on the Lehman Brothers complicity.

Unemployment stubbornly goes up again

Twenty states in bid to have healthcare law struck down

Iran has nuclear options

Anyone want to hold Obama up as a shining example of competence?

Sara, I realize your everyday life isn’t Bella Toscana or la Dolce Vita but that you can live in a fascinating place and and laboriously grind this garbage out shows that you’re as much a knuckle-dragging knucklehead as the readers this is aimed at.  And unlike Larry Johnson you’re a coward who deletes posts you don’t like.

Memo to Joan and Ed:

Obama is a bridge builder?  What have you been smoking?  Let me count the ways that Barky is a joke….

only brings in the Reps for HC advice at the last minute
cuts deals/aka bribes congressional officials to get their vote.,..Landrieu, Nelson, etc.
mocks and demeans any US citizen that doesn’t agree with him….those white folks holding on to their guns and religion and tea party members
plays dumb when he takes $1 million dollars from Goldman Sachs and wants to push through any phony financial bill that will guarantee bailouts

Ed Schultz needs Meds….enough said

Great post AGI

And you’re a singularly outstanding illogician, DBB. You didn’t respond to any comment made but went direcetly into obamabot mode with an ad hominem abusive. Well, here’s one for you, troll: You’re a mindless automaton who gets your all your rudimentary thought processes filled to overflowing from the mindless hogwash spoon-fed you by the MSM. That you are incapable of independent thought makes me wonder if you are in possession of even a medulla oblongata so that you might breath on your own.

Just shut up.

And a “potted plant”at that!

Alright, Ferdie Boy, you’re so palsy-walsy with Sara, maybe you can collaborate with her and come up with one example of Ed Schultz, Joan Walsh, any other radical leftie you want to name, doing anything remotely like mocking Michael J Fox for advocating stem-cell research even imitating his Parkinson’s palsied speech and shaking.  Good Luck.

I was listening to Hugh Hewitt the other night and he said that Donny Deutsch was kicked off a MSNBC or CNBC show he was temporarily filling in on b/c he didn’t efficently defend Hewitt calling out Olbermann as a far out left quack.

Was is it with MSNBC taking such strides to protect Olbermann?

Oh and as I’ve pointed out a few times but just can’t help myself b/c it still kind of shocks me constantly.. Keith Olbermann dated Laura Ingraham.

Do your own research, twerp. You didn’t respond to comments but just went obamabot. Like I said, shut up.

Here’s a link to the story:

http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/msnbc/donny_deutsch_off_the_air_after_criticism_of_keith_olbermann_159147.asp

Didn’t Chia Pets have to take the Obama plant off the market?

Yeah, it was too much like a Gorgon Medusa, turning purhasers into stone.

Remember this DBB?

That Herr Olbermann dated Laura Ingraham doesn’t surprise me.  Picture it . . . Laura dressed all in black leather head to toe.  Long stiletto-heeled black boots.  Olby down on all 4′s, begging to kiss the boots of shiny shiny leather . . . swish goes the whip in her hand . . . SNAP!  OW!  SNAP SNAP!  OWWWWWWW!  More! More!  Hit Me! Hit Me! 

(Guess Ann Coulter was out of town that weekend)

HORK!

Sounds like Buggery on the High Seas from Cheech and Chong’s Pedro and the Man at the Drive-In on Los Cochinos–

Laura: Here, take this you dog!
KO: Hey, you’re hurting my wrist. Oh, rip the shirt, how cliche. I suppose you’ll have me walk the plank, next.
Laura; Hoist that scurvy dog from the yard arm.

I just received notice that my packet of petitions is in the mail.  I’ll be working to get an exemption from the HC Bill on the ballot in CO.

ROTFLMAO–Well, it looks like the comment about the Olbermann-Ingraham date that I was responding to disappeared.  I would hate it if people thought my fantasy was coming from out of nowhere, from left-field . . .

Well, except that they’re not really liberals – at least not in any traditional sense of the word – any more than Obama is. FDR sure as hell wouldn’t claim any of them. I don’t think there are any equivalents to Rush “on the Left” because I think the Left is pretty much nonexistent anymore. All we have are bickering corporate factions with largely indistinguishable policies.

Oops. Better pull that one off the market, post haste. Killing customers isn’t a very satisfactory way of keeping them from returning the product for a refund.

At least Joe just got reprimanded….Donny Deutsch critized oblatherman and they cut him from his on-air duties…

“Say What You Will…It Feels So Good”

Or the very famous Bridge to NOWHERE!!

“Say What You Will…It Feels So Good”

I’m printing it off now to read tonight.

LOL–I think the real objection to the Obama chia pet is that when it grew out, it made him look like he had a green afro, which was totally unrealistic, since he had a black afro . . .

LMAO. Well, oowawa, personally I think the green is still somewhat more appropriate since he was the greenest of the Democratic candidates.

Obama’s a plant?!?! OMG! It all makes sense now:

I most certainly did substantively respond to the Sara’s claim that Schultz and Walsh (not even a broadcaster) is more extreme than Limbaugh.  That I’m the only one who has called out this breathtakingly stupid tedious post for what it is speaks to the negative IQ of NQers like yourself.  Get sister Sara to shut me up when she wakes up.

DBB – you’re the idiot who sticks around and reads my “garbage” and then spends even more time commenting. You obviously don’t have much of life if you spend time reading and commenting about garbage.

I’d say that makes you fairly pathetic.

And FYI – I can’t delete posts, but if you attack the writers personally, you get deleted. Comment on the post, not the writers, or get banned.

Or better yet, why don’t you crawl out of your basement, and go hug a kitty. Why spend your precious time reading my garbage?

Joan Walsh is the perfect example of what Malcolm X warned about years ago. White liberals that believe black people can only succeed with their help. Why don’t these people, busy calling others racists, suggest black folks  return to the plantation so “massa can take care of them”?

Have a feeling Blago could be just as protected as Rezko – who, by the way, hasn’t been sentenced, yet.  Perhaps he is still talking.

Thank-you Candymarl…so true.  In liberal democratland you’re only as good as we want you to be.  Just ask any unionized person who’s tried to strive outside of the union box.

None of the “In group” responds to subpoenas, that is if any upright,
God-fearing somebody dares to issue them.

One of Sara’s favorite bloggers:

What position would that be, the fetal position, or the missionary position?

I am convinced that Joan Walsh and all the others at MSNB0 are clueless that they are equally as dogmatic, incendiary, and even more prone to saying inflamatory remarks that are more likely to cause a crazy to go off the rails as the conservatives they clobber day in and  day out.  They do not see it.  They do not get it. 

I really liked Joan Walsh during the primary when she was the only voice at that hell hole that defended Hillary.  However, she had no trouble transitioning to the one who is now pres.  She has said things that are so partisan that it is stunning.  Yet, she has no concept that she is just as bad as those she criticizes or worse.   It’s as though she has had a spell cast upon her and is helpless to see otherwise.  Pathetic!! 

I agree stodghie.  If I had continued to watch Morning Joe and the other programing there, I couldn’t promise anyone anything.  I’ve never had anything that incited thoughts of violence in me like the rhetoric on Morning Joe, Oldbermann, Maddow, and Matthews.  I’m not proud of the fact that I absolutely came to hate them all.  Yes, hate!

I don’t know how anyone can listen to that and disagree with all they say.  In fact, I don’t believe that is even possible nor can I fully trust someone who does watch them.   I know we don’t need to be in the dark about such jerks, but I could never put up with Meka and the guys who are the regulars on that show.  Without a doubt, they are the most galling people I’ve ever, ever seen on television.   

I believe Joan Walsh is exhibiting white guilt.  I believe in equality for all people, but we must not confuse giving certain groups an advantage yet think we’ve only given them equality.  We can support giving these groups an advantage, but understand it for what it is…without guilt.

Why should we be trying really hard?  And where does she get off saying, “0bama loves white people”.   I think there are reames of evidence to the contrary – his own books for one where he says, yes his mother was white.  Yes, the grandparents who raised him were white.  But he said he always identified more with being AA. 

What is wrong with Joan Walsh???  She’s patronizing, being parental.  If I were AA I would be insulted by that as though I had to be treated like a child, couldn’t handle basic equality without some white person there to help me fight my battles.  That’s the way the Joan Walsh’s of the world treat Barack 0bama and he should be humiliated that someone would feel the need to try to protect him – as though he is not capable of doing it himself.  I’m convinced he is capable of taking care of himself – and with arrogance that is disgusting.

what are you doing here, murking around in the garbage STILL? 

You just can’t stay away from me, can you. You even go out of your way to post videos of my “favorite blogger” for me. I think you secretly adore me. You are kind of obsessed. Are you one of the Mean Girls who are secretly jealous, but lash out because your life sucks?

bugger off, wanker. free yourself from the garbage!!

ditto

AGII,

You obviously do not listen to the MSNBC personalities and Limbaugh much.

There is a huge difference between Limbaugh and the people you quote. The MSNBC shows largely talk about facts and logic and demonstrate with real live examples and bring on knowledgeable guests to argue theie points and to show what the far right is doing and saying. Completely different than Limbaugh who has no real substantial guests, rarely talks about facts and is rarely logical. He is just a 100% windbag that throws out is random insulting thoughts. Again there is a huge difference.

I think what Walsh was trying to do was to get Scarborough to say the comparision is the other MSNBC hosts, so she could argue, as I do above, that they are completely different than Limbaugh and the other fact less far-right commentators, but Scarborough was too stupid to understand this or did not want to take the bait.

So would I Creeper.

Of course the government in Illinois is so corrupt they can easily just break er bend the “laws” to support whatever outcome they want. May not be necessary for Blago to have an unfortunate “accident”.

What surprises me is that he just won’t shut up. I don’t think the Dems expected that. He not only won’t go “quietly into that good night”, he stands there making a fuss. Tsk, tsk.

AGII,

“The MSNBC shows largely talk about facts and logic and demonstrate with real live examples and bring on knowledgeable guests to argue their points and to show what the far right is doing and saying.”

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHHAHAHHAHA
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHHAHAHHAHA 
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHHAHAHHAHA 
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHHAHAHHAHA 

First of all, MSNBC is a 24/7 news channel, with left wing commentary. Rush is a radio personality/commentator who is on the air 15 hours a week – and blows MSNBC away in listeners. Completely different format, and vehicle. And perhaps if MSNBC gave up their obsession with FOX news, and actually reported the news, without the bias, they wouldn’t be losing to the cartoon channel in ratings.

I fact check Rush every time someone on the left says he “said”something controversial, and it’s so funny how it is ALWAYS taken out of context and/or edited to make it seem offensive. Not to mention his daily “Media Tweak of the Day” where he intentionally puts something out there to watch the Left launch their faux outrage. I am not a Rushy, but for the left to say they don’t have anyone on the left that “spews hate” like Beck or Limbaugh is total BS. And MSNBC hosts a whole gaggle of them. 

You obviously don’t listen to MSNBC without your liberal goggles. FOX has FAR better debate, and presents both sides all the time. MSNBC holds debate too-  Left versus center-left. 

Scarborough didn’t reply to Joan because he has already been scolded for reprimanding precious Olbermann for his hate speech directed at Scott Brown. 

That video is hilarious! Joan was booked to show up and preen, then got muzzled! Well worth a second look! LOL!

Everybody knows that when anybody from Hollywood takes on any cause, then the rest of us should just throw our entire belief system out the window and blindly follow them. After all, they are demigods. Everybody in Hollywood is. =-O

I was thinking Venus Fly Trap….

“Say What You Will…It Feels So Good”

MSNBC…all hate, all the time.

omg…lmao…losing to the cartoon channel!!

couldn’t resist…had to listen twice.  Thanks Sara for the good laugh.

Wow in that second clip, Joan says that by criticizing Obama and making it seem like he’s incompetent and doesn’t know what he’s doing, people like Sarah Palin and others are giving aid and comfort to the terrorists.

My mouth hangs open at the sheer audacity of that statement.  So what the hell was the left doing over the last eight years to Bush?   

Yeah, Joan Walsh already smacked this around.. http://www.salon.com/news/opinion/joan_walsh/index.html#

You’re right about that, “Psst”,  and Sara reveals herself as a scat-brained, scattermouthed lunatic.

And Dbb reveals itself to be so devoid of reading comprehension, critical thinking skills, basic knowledge of the Constitution, or any shred of human decency that I can understand why it must defend its enabling messiah at all costs.  It has no hope of making it through life on its own non-existent merits, and therefore welcomes its deliverance/slavery by the nanny state with open arms and must denigrate more worthy, self-supporting adults who stand in its way.

Another O’Tool.  Nothing more.

sarainitaly,

Being in italy are you sure you watch MSNBC and listen to Limbaugh to form such opinions?  You really have no clue. MSNBC is mostly about facts and the news. The personalities on those shows support their arguments and points with actual evidence, facts, etc. FOX rarely does and certainly Limbaugh never does. He just spews hate. You need to just Google “Limbaugh Lies” and there is tons of stuff on all the lies Limbaugh has made over the last 20 years.

NBC, MSNBC and CNBC are far from being liberal. In fact, NBC as whole is pretty corporate and pretty right-wing. CNBC is completely right-wing. MSNBC itself has three hours of right wing scarborough on every single day. I would love to see three hours of a lefty on FOX every morning. NBC dumped reporter Ashleigh Banfield after she critized the media for sugar coated coverage of the Iraq war. CNBC also dumped Jesse Ventura for his non-support of the Iraq war and also Phil Donahue’s show for the same reason. And NBC is suppose to be a lefty network?

Other than a few left leaning shows the network is very conservative.

As for ratings:

“Limbaugh is widely acknowledged to be the most popular talk host on terrestrial radio, as evidenced by the $400 million, eight-year contract he signed with his syndicator last July. (Howard Stern signed a deal with Sirius Satellite Radio in October 2004 for a reported $500 million over five years.) But estimates of Limbaugh’s nationwide (and overseas) audience are exercises in guesswork, slippery methodology and suspect data. Limbaugh himself has muddied the water with the claim that he reaches 20 million people a week, although there’s no independent support for it.

Arbitron, the radio industry’s dominant audience-measurement company, can say with some precision how large Limbaugh’s audience is in a particular city and at a particular time, but it has never publicly released a national estimate for his show.

The difficulty comes from the vast patchwork that is Limbaugh’s radio empire. His three-hour daily program is carried on more than 600 domestic stations, but these stations don’t all carry the show at the same time or even for the same duration. Like KFI-AM (640) in L.A., most stations air all three hours of Limbaugh’s broadcast each weekday, but some carry only two hours. Arbitron has never attempted to aggregate all of this audience data for these many stations and times.

“There is no economic motivation for any objective third party to do that kind of analysis,” says Thom Mocarsky, an Arbitron spokesman.
And there are no ratings at all for a constituency of Limbaugh listeners: U.S. military personnel stationed overseas. Limbaugh’s program is carried to these listeners on about 400 stations of varying audience sizes via the Armed Forces Radio Network, which Arbitron doesn’t monitor.

Premiere Radio Networks, Limbaugh’s national syndicator, estimated last year that 3.59 million people were in Limbaugh’s audience during an average quarter-hour of his program, based on a review of Arbitron’s piecemeal data about hundreds of stations.”

http://articles.latimes.com/2009/mar/09/entertainment/et-limbaugh9

No one really knows what Limbaugh’s ratings really are and it is hard to compare ratings for an AM radio show that is on many many radio stations across the country and in some cases Limbaugh is the only game in town. MSNBC is not on that many cable systems, particularly in the first tier of channels. Their potential audience reach is much smaller than both Limbaugh and FOX. And to compare MSNBC and FOX ratings is a bit bullshit as well. Not only is MSNBC on far fewer basic cable offerings, but FOX has a bigger audience because it has cornered the right-wing market. MSNBC is more centerist so it likely splits it viewers with CNN, ABC, CBS, etc.

MSNBC’s ratings are actually pretty good. They came out of no where and in a very short period of time have build some very solid ratings, particularly for the younger audience, which is the one the advertiser care the most about. FOX has cornered the white haired crowd.

I agree.  It really takes someone who knows racism and hatred to recognize another racist hater like your boss.

I think Mama Doc is the Venus Fly Trap.  Hmmm, The Chia Pet and The Venus Fly Trap…sounds right to me.

b

MSNBC, NBC, and all the other major networks are lap dog media clowns for Obama and the Dems.  Your post is pure BS!!

Where is the accountability for all of Obama’s lies????

-raising taxes on most Americans especially the ones that pay federal income tax
-passing bills with only the Democratic side of Congress meeting in secret-now Reid wants to tackle immigration on Tuesday?

Obama doesn’t even know what is in the bills he’s signing…he is all about getting control of our economy and spreading the wealth. 

This is why the Tea Party movement is gaining steam because Americans are fed up with the government interferring with student loans, hc, car companies, immigration, cap/tax, and so on.

Americans are a centrist population.  They are neither left/progressive or right wing. 

FYI, all my adult life I voted for the Democratic candidates until 2008.  The caucus fraud, the thugging of Democratic delegates, and Obama’s shaky past has caught up with him.  This is why Rush, Levin, Hannity, Fox, WSJ, and others are gaining viewers and readers.

Schultz, Olbermann, Mitchell, Matthews, and Company are journalistic pimps…..

DBB, I had never seen a video like that.  I LIKE that girl!  Thanks, you’ve made me happy to have seen it.  I know you wanted me to be disgusted.  sorry I couldn’t oblige you.

You little gutter-snipe, you most certainly did not respond to Sara’s essay but went off on a tangent about Rush Limbaugh as though what he does excuses commentators on the left when doing the same thing. It doesn’t. Your lack of understanding the basic principles of logic are amply demonstrated by your resort to common practice and gainsay when called on your dreck. The only thing tedious here are your histrionics, hyperbole, and hogwash posing as enlightened commentary. But do please continue as your predilection for making an ass of yourself is well known. We anxiously await your next set of boneheaded comments, twit.

EWard,

Hard to argue with someone as brainwashed at you. Let me address some of your teabag rant that has nothing to do with the topic discussed above.

The Obama adminstration passed 35 separate tax cuts or tax rebates in one form or another. The stimulus bill was the singe biggest one time tax cut in history. Go read the bill. 95% of Americans got a tax cut in 2009. By the way, who cares about taxes. Most people in this country actually think the level of taxes they pay is just fine and this country pays far less taxes than every other industrialized country in the world. Taxes are a non-issue.

Not sure what bills you are talking about passing in secret. You have not idea how govt and passing bills works. What exactly would you like to see done different in the process?

Obama does not knwo what bill he’s signing? First of all what bill are you talking about and where exactly is your proof? This statement is complete BS. You people just love to talk in generalitities.

The Tea Party movement or the corporate back tea party movement is not really gaining much steam. I think it has plateaued. This is not a new movement, it is just the same old far-right movement. Just more vocal these days because you are a bunch of sore loser who do not think a democratic government is legitimate.

America is a centralist population? Not sure, but lets assume you are right. That sure tells me that do not support the far right of the tea party and your ilk.

Same old BS about the election. Get over ti.

You were never a democrat. Particularly given your anti-government rheoric. You are extremely right-wing.

The government in this country works just fine. It provides a lot of good for society. Why is it that America is the only country that is so anti-government? End of the day all you anti-government people end up mostly being hypocrites.

Sorry if you don’t like the direction of the country, but your party lost the election. You will have you chances to change things in the next elections.
