No, I'm talking about none of the "Left" being fazed by comments like umbrella39 made. That's some twisted shit. If someone from my ideological "bloc" said that, I'd be kicking their virtual ass. There's no reason for that level of malicious douche-baggery.

I missed his comment. Someone want to PM me what he said? I am sure I won't be shocked.

You know we could all dig up some really crazy, offensive shit that the Republicans have said, and their loudmouth pieces like Rush Limbaugh, but no one has ever demanded they be fired or make apologies. This little tweet by an MSNBC staffer is not that egregious in my opinion, and to a certain extent is spot on with all those Republicans and RW's who were upset at this Cheerios ad to begin with. Some of the most hateful things were said on Fox news about it, but not one person was fired, nor did the Democrats say they were going to Boycott Fox news.

This is just petty immature, typical crap from the right... as usual.

they always cry the loudest and stomp their feet the most skin is something the republicans love to whip but when its someone elses but when it comes to their own its the thinnest skin you can find and bleeds easy.

At least they do 'damage' control (man was it damaging! ;-)

There's another network out there that would never (or rarely) admit to such a thing. If they had to do damage control based on offensive speech, that's all they'd be doing.

So as a kid, I used to listen to my favorite uncle tell me about all of his amazing adventures that he had experienced while in the US Army, while taking his numerous trips to foreign lands and while indulging in his favorite sports/hobbies.

As he advanced well into his golden years and beyond, he would often revisit those same adventures with me, except that the fish got bigger, the game animals got meaner and more blood thirsty, the time holding his breath under water got unbelievably longer and longer, the snow flurries got more furious....

And now I see that this same phenomenon happens with guys like Priebus and some folks who share his political views and this quaint yet curiously caustic habit of theirs.

Yup, but it's pretty much like I said, and leftists constantly prove it themselves. Assholes. Democrat base.

Watched the movie "Falling Down" again last night (probably haven't seen it in something like 10 years or more) and the asshole-in-the-park scene struck me as "archetypal Democrat/leftyloon mentality" encapsulated perfectly:

Haven't seen the movie in years, but to me it's more like a right wing fantasy of a white collar worker taking on the criminal immigrant hordes.

I'd rather be an asshole than an ignorant idiot who is easily fooled by propaganda.

MSNBC is just preaching to the hateful and intolerant choirs who will do anything to destroy their political opposition.

They didn't upset their regular viewers one bit.

I guess getting your life's philosophies from a movie scene is better than from Rush.

Rachel Maddow is no more a journalist than Rush Limbaugh. They are political commentators. They pick exactly what topics they are going to cover and exactly and repeatedly put their opinions to it. They are far from journalists.

There is no comparison. She has a PHD in philosophy and is a Stanford graduate. Rush is a college dropout. She actually covers news events and has even folks who she disagree with on her show. Rush only talks with ditto heads.

The rest of MSNBC is blah to many yellers.

Wow really??

How about these hateful intolerant choirs on FOX??

Bill O'Reilly Yelling "YOUR A LIAR"

Bill O'Reilly yelling at Columnist and lying on TV

Ann Coulter on Fox saying she hates Jews

Fox News reporter saying women should pay more for health insurance because they have breasts and ovaries live on air.

Fox News President Roger Ailes caught lying

Roger Ailes caught lying again on the View

Jessie Lee on Fox saying America's biggest problem was allowing women to vote

Fox News anchor Heather Childers caused a stir on Twitter after she linked to a story suggesting that the Obama campaign may have threatened to murder Chelsea Clinton.


Fox news is nothing but a propaganda unit for the Republican party. They went to court and won, (using the First Amendment) to have the right to lie to the public on air and even admitted it.

FOX appealed the case, and on February 14, 2003 the Florida Second District Court of Appeals unanimously overturned the settlement awarded to Akre. The Court held that Akre’s threat to report the station’s actions to the FCC did not deserve protection under Florida’s whistle blower statute, because Florida’s whistle blower law states that an employer must violate an adopted “law, rule, or regulation." In a stunningly narrow interpretation of FCC rules, the Florida Appeals court claimed that the FCC policy against falsification of the news does not rise to the level of a "law, rule, or regulation," it was simply a "policy." Therefore, it is up to the station whether or not it wants to report honestly. (Anybody surprised this happened in Florida?)

Then you have Martha MacCallum on Fox saying women don't want equal pay they already get exactly what they're worth here.

----------------------------------------------------


Shoot I can do this all day long and come up with thousands of articles, and video of just how absurd and divisive, hateful and intolerant your Fox News is. Don't even get me started on their stupid conspiracy theories either..! :whiste:

So, Bill gates dropped out of college and is the second richest man in the world. She does the same exact shit as everyone else. She covers news events the SHE decides to cover. She is just the other side of the same coin. Say whatever you want to make yourself feel better but she is no different than anyone else.

A racially mixed family in a TV commercial? What rightwing nutjob would ever come out against such a thing?

Congrats! You're both!

Yeah!!! We have something in common!


Fortunately for you, you don't have to choose. You're both!

Sorry, you will have to come up with something a little more original

Maybe you can find out what the latest righty catch phrase is for people who don't share their views. It should be easy to find, just look at your RSS feed.
