News Corpse » Republicans Are Afraid Of MSNBC:

Yes, and don't forget, it's why Mitt, "I'm in a fitt" Romney wants tax policy to be discussed only in a "quiet room." Heaven forbid it should be mentioned in public, lest the Republican lies should be revealed for all to see.

In the New York Times last weekend, this irritation was on full display. Columnist Maureen Dowd makes fun of the young Romney's affection for "The Sound of Music" (what is it about that musical that so annoys the left?) and disregard for The Grateful Dead.

She describes him as living in a "non-drinking, nonsmoking, suburban, uxorious bubble with Ann, revolving around Mormon rituals, Mormon couples, and the Mormon credo of strong, heterosexual, traditional families." (In case you wondered, that's meant to be a criticism.) "Uxorious" means having an excessive fondness for one's wife – something that Ms. Dowd finds unacceptable.

She should know that rampant divorce and children born out of wedlock cost our country an estimated $112 billion in 2008; chances are the recession has driven that figure above $150 billion. Heads up- there are worse things than the enduring family.

In the same paper, Lee Siegel describes Romney as "the whitest man to run for president in recent memory." In case that one leaves you scratching your head, Siegel explains that he means "the countless subtle and not-so-subtle ways he telegraphs that he is the cultural alternative to America's first black president. It is a whiteness grounded in a retro vision of the country, one of white picket fences and stay-at-home moms and fathers unashamed of working hard for corporate America."

He derides Romney for being "implacably polite, tossing off phrases like "oh gosh" with Stepford bonhomie." In other words, shame on Romney for his decency, for having been happily married to Ann for decades and for earning a living. More important, shame on him for imagining that a great many Americans might aspire to do the same.

You need a new writer. If not someone with genuine wit, perhaps half that.

T-800 :

Not cool about deleting minotaur778's posts. I see several other people referring to tea party members as "tea baggers". If you can't take some criticism about your article and subsequent posts, then don't be a Seeder. In my opinion, you are sensoring him. I've seen a lot worse out of some Dem's posts that don't get collapsed or deleted. I know you have no control over collapsing posts (I read one of your earlier posts), but try not to be such a deletion tyrant. Thanks for letting me speak my mind.

Teabaggers = Tea Party Bagged Pelosi in 2010

The TP turned the bagging comment into reality..........Dems previously used it all the time, not so much lately.

Next Stop, Baggin the Senate and the Presidency, with Obama's ever increasing help.

T-800

I'm not defending minotaur778, nor am I interested in his posts. I'm just interested in free speech and the people expressing their opinion without being censored. That's all. And I enjoyed your article. Thanks again.

But, I have to say, I wish when left leaning media outlets conduct debates they would follow-up on evasive, misleading and outright factually incorrect answers and keep their feet to the fire.

Agreed.

Love "the veil off the ugly bride".

The GOP is defenseless in a battle of wits! They're only half way there.

Halfway?

Remember, there are teabags. those aren't even close to halfway, yet.

Why in the Sam Hill would any Republican go onto MSNBC when he's running for a REPUBLICAN primary and MSNBC has a grand total of 3 Republican viewers nationwide? This is not a national election, this election is for adults only. Any network without a Republican audience is worthless for the purposes of these candidates.

"adults?"

You've GOT to be kidding. That circus is made up of petulant children without a clue to morality, ethics or empathy, smearing their own excrement all over themselves on national television.

Maybe a lack of a republican audience is a PLUS for some networks, in that case.

Hahahahahahha. I can't stop laughing at the response to MG, not to mention the post of MG. That is damn hilarious. By the way, I suspect strongly that MG is foisting a charicature on the unsuspecting. Don't be fooled. I suspect he is the most flaming liberal out here. Sorry, God and all the little pigmies and may I be forgiven. Nobody could possibly be as right wing as MG pretends to be. Thanks for the support, my clever compatriot!

cab..I suspected as much..Mean is doing a performance piece...Genius!!

Tell that to MSNBC's millions of viewers on cable and the internet.

bob,

Ratings aren't the measure as to the veracity of the content of "news" coming from Fox, just so you know.

bob,

In my experience republicans don't pay much attention to the truth backed by facts in any forum.

Correct me if I am wrong (i have no problem with that. would not want to be a blathering idiot), but "progressives" get their new from more then one source and MSNBC is not the favorite, or did I misunderstand a recent poll.

In essence, progressives research a little more and take in more aspects of a story then what is handed out by corporate new.

rose,

You are not wrong.

@Susan-True dat!!!!

I flip between morning joe on MNSBC and CSpan. In the morning. I am seeing a whole lot of Republicans on both.

C Span has had callers letting them know that their are more repubs and special intererest on-they then claim fair programming.

It MAY be equal in time segments, but is is not equal in time appropriated.

That's a good one, too, Linda. I have in-laws visiting and so I've been drinking, so I particularly like your post this afternoon. I can't help but laugh at how stupid the right has become and especially how they characterize everyone else as in-valid. But your post conjures up great imagery. I can just see those bugs hollering "Raaaaaaid," and I can now envision the Republicans in a panic screaming at the top of their lungs, "Faaaaaaaacts," as they are crushed like little tiny ants by the truth. This is soooo funny once one has imbibed in a few Manhattans.

Oh-oh, my wife and in-laws are back from their walk in the woods. Gotta go. See you all soon.

Hahahahhahahahhahaha

caballojoe -- I'm glad you liked it and you are too funny. Seriously, aren't they just about the craziest bunch of clowns? Enjoy your in-laws!

I'd take Krystal Ball or Tamron Hall or Contessa Brewer (no longer there :-(... ) over any dye job at Faux any day!!! LOL

LCS you are a prime example and are exactly what is wrong with people who only get their news and information from Fox News.

UTHORNfan

Fox news, gets its news from me.

How is the tunnel business doing in AZ, LCS?

Yellow Dog

Its going fine, gold prices, will hit 2500 in the next two years. I got a new cell phone, to listen to the news, but alot of times, after we are done mining, it is time for Coast to Coast, radio.

back to my Tall Iced Tea & Stogey

I think you should invest every penny you own in gold - mortgage every asset you have 100% and leverage to the hilt!

Good thinking LCS - you are a genius ... ;-) You can't lose. ;-)

now take another sip and blow some more cigar smoke into donuts ;-)

We can even download the 911 commission report, and if we are two lasy to read, we can read pages 110-111 and find 1996 the Sudanese offered Usama Bin Laden, to Clinton, but he was to busy with Monica Lewinsky.

So do it, present your evidence. Prove "he was too busy with Monica Lewinsky".

FactCheck says "What is clear is that the 9/11 Commission report totally discounts the Sudanese claims... to hand bin Laden over to the United States."

And IN FACT Republicans impeached Clinton on trumped-up charges in 1998, when Osama was a much more obvious threat, demonstrating how Republicans put politics ahead of national security.

Covah

I gave you the evidence, read pages 110-111 911 commission. Clinton and the democrats, did'nt fight over the impeachment, because, of Clinton's major screw ups. Screw factcheck.org, go to the source. I suggest read it all, Clinton over worked our troops, in Bosnia, and when our troops, asked for armour in Somalia, he shunned them, we all remember their bodies, being dragged through the streets. Clinton weakened the CIA, thought they had to much power. As a result, 1993 World Trade Center bombings, two of our embassies in Africa, bombed, the USS Cole bombing. Also check how much armour Clinton gave our troops, and how much Bush gave our troops.

BTW check FEC commission, that's the Federal Election Commission. They made it really simple to use now. Check Goldman Sacs, AIG, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, check all big insurance. You are looking for the truth. Are we not? Is'nt it nice to know, that Obama is the biggest recipient, or these outfits.

Hope this helps

Go ahead and post it. You brought it up, you back it up. And back up the rest of your allegations while you are at it.

Romney is who the Establishment want.

What have Republicans done for the middle, and working classes in the last 30 years?

other than take away from them, and help the rich

zip, zap, nada, nothing

What have Republicans EVER done to improve this country in ANY way?

Covah, Nothing, Nada, not one thing! The reason they are afraid of MSNBC, is because they tell the truth and have the facts to back them up. Any of their broadcasters have it all over those liars on FAUX Noise in education and intelligence. Some of them on FAUX act like they don't know enough to come in out of the rain. Truth stands and it is a fearful thing for many that do not tell it!

Covah

zip, zap, nada, nothing :)

Republicans passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964. That was when the country was so far left that Republicans were leftists, the opposite from now, and shows how far Republicans have come. In those days, expansion of voter rights was considered a just cause. Now Republicans are trying to narrow the voter base by excluding marginal groups with fake concern over voter fraud.

That is the only example I can think of unless you go back 100 years to Theodore Roosevelt.

LOL

not bad but still need a little help before comedy central will use you.

Divide the country into two halfs,......... one with liberals and the liberal idiology, and the other with conservatives and their idiology. All the money and industry would move to the conservative half, and the liberal half can do whatever they want, tax the crap out of its people.

Evidence belies your assertion. The most liberal states are the richest, and the most conservative states are poorest.

Divide this country into thirds, two liberal nations on the coasts and a new confederacy in the middle. The two liberal nations would be MUCH better off than they are now, since they are donor states that pay red state bills so red states can cut taxes for corporations as bribes to locate there. The technical name for this is "crony capitalism" and Republican euphemism is "business friendly".

Some of the states have entire regions that are different from their majority populations and would have to be broken up as part of the split.

Please, they can have eastern washington. They hate us liberal Seattleites, they think they can survive without our tax base supporting them...they can have it...I will enjoy watching those deep red counties on the other side of the mountains wither away and die. Then we can keep our revenue here in King county and stop supporting hicks that want to live in the sticks. Build your own @!$%#ing roads.

OK< lets divide the Country. Put the GOP where they would be happiest,

Alaska

Texas

That's about all I can think of.

Then the Middle class will take the rest, thats even isn't it.?

The 1% can have two states.

Here is a really good map dividing the world up

World Map

Thank god I live in "Stoners"

Not just eastern Washington but eastern Oregon and eastern California as well. Also much of illinois and Pennsylvania would go as as well. The rural and exurb areas of many blue states are quite red. You can drive I-5 in California and except for the purple county of Sacramento its all red from Oregon to Los Angeles.

Fine by me.....even though my property is located in southern Oregon.....lets just say the border should be somewhere east of Klamath Falls but west of Lakeview Oregon. I don't go down into CA...ever, stay out of North Cali unless you are looking for weed or rednecks.

Southern Oregon is conservative from the Coast on inward except possibly for Ashland. As to Ca. Most all non coastal, non bay area region counties are are red. On the coast San Diego, Orange, and Del Norte are somewhat\red and Ventura/San Louis Obispo are purple.

If we created a West Coast Union even that could be unzipped right down the middle. Fine with me, the Left Coast would STILL be better off.

Well, there are numerous reasons you have not seen that one. Unfair and unbalanced being just two of them.
