What’s on my mind? The Morning Joe planted image of Bill Karins and Ed Schultz in a hot tub. Now it’s in yours. Don’t thank me.

Networks and cable news channels mostly silent on anti-semitism at OWS protests:

Hey, does anybody know when CNN will announce a permanent anchor team for American Morning?
Also, whatever happened to MSNBC’s Monica Novotny? I haven’t seen her in probably a year.
October 25, 2011 at 10:41 am
Monica is no longer with MSNBC.
CNN will probably announce soon since they just hired someone who is rumored to be heading to that program. Now that they relaunched primetime (albeit unsuccessfully in my view), maybe they can focus on other programming.

It seems to me that Morning Joe has shifted to leaning more to the left. Major part of the show devoted to tearing down the Republcan presidential candidates. That fits in nicely with what is normal for PM MSNBC. Joe has made some calculations.

I’m gonna have to score this one for The Donald.

You are incorrect. Joe has never had any use for idiots in the GOP (see: past comments about Sarah Palin). Unfortunately, there’s a plethora of them running for President.
October 25, 2011 at 12:33 pm
You could be right. Don’t remember Joe ever having much good to say about Palin. Mika offerered more support to her when personal attacks were made.
October 25, 2011 at 12:33 pm
People you don’t like = idiots. You have a bumbling, stumbling crazy uncle as your V.P. But, that’s just Joe (Biden) being Joe. You know, cuz he rides the train to work. Republicans and Democrats are held to much different standards. Another of your top nominees the last go round was busy getting some chick pregnant while his wife was dying of cancer. Another was Dennis Kucinich.
October 25, 2011 at 12:41 pm
I wouln’t call Dennis a top nominee. He was on the fringe with Rev. Al.
October 25, 2011 at 12:42 pm
I didn’t mean to imply Kucinich was a top nominee, just Edwards. He was a fringe candidate like Bachmann.
October 25, 2011 at 12:44 pm
When Dennis was mayor of Cleveland, he championed what was called at the time, “the politics of confrontation”. Dennis was 30 years ahead of his time.
October 25, 2011 at 12:46 pm
He also lead the city into bankruptcy. Voinovich lead them out.
October 25, 2011 at 12:46 pm
Hey, with a higher dosage, Bachmann coulda been a contender.
October 25, 2011 at 12:47 pm
The point is, the media tries to take the fringe candidates on the Republican side label every Republican in the country that way. It’s an Alinsky tactic. They don’t do the same on the Dem. side.
As for Joe, he knows where his bread is buttered. He’s a “conservative” that the MSM and elites can tolerate and that’s a conservative who’s willing to spend as much time bashing his own party as he is bashing the other side. You won’t find many Dems like that at MSNBC or CNN or ABCCBSNBC. But, it’s basically a qualification to get on TV as a conservative. See, Kathleen Parker.
October 25, 2011 at 1:17 pm
If you weren’t such a hater on Cenk Uygur, LS, you would have seen how overtly critical he was of Obama as much as possible on MSNBC… and they didn’t want him to be. That’s why he was let go.
October 25, 2011 at 1:18 pm
When did Monica leave MSNBC?
October 25, 2011 at 1:18 pm
The best justification for “Perry as idiot” is reviving the previously moribund birther issue. WHY do people have to pander to that man, and make themselves equally foolish in the process? Don’t piss and moan about the press, while simultaneously serving them the wet noodle with which to smack you.
October 25, 2011 at 1:21 pm
Cenk’s Current TV show might be worth watching,especially if he wants to actually debate conservatives.
October 25, 2011 at 1:23 pm
So, even mentioning the word “Jews” on a sign is seen as anti-Semitic? Interesting.
It’s pretty funny how one or two signs spotted by conservatives considered anti-Semetic are an attempt to paint the entire movement that way.
October 25, 2011 at 1:26 pm
Prog:
I think we’re talking about slightly different things. Cenk hit Obama from the left. Joe’s not hitting Republicans from the right, he’s hitting them from the left just like everybody else in the media does.
October 25, 2011 at 1:26 pm
“So, even mentioning the word “Jews” on a sign is seen as anti-Semitic? Interesting.”
Wow.
October 25, 2011 at 1:28 pm
There have been more anti-Jew & anti-white signs in the brief OWS existence than there was anything remotely racist in all the time the tea party has been around. The media hunted for a single sign at any event and played that for days and used it to villify the entire movement. Per usual, these same MSM people ignore the hate and overall craziness that is OWS.
October 25, 2011 at 1:29 pm
He will, crp… Cenk has vowed openly how he loves to debate conservatives and that he can handle them well. From watching him, I think he lives up to the hype.
October 25, 2011 at 1:32 pm
@ Prog
You are right that Cenk took on the left… but only for not being farther left. That’s an important distinction.
As for anti-Semitism… I guess what goes around, comes around. The Tea Party was branded racist, because of a few stupid people. And now, the same for OWS. You made the bed, sleep in it.
But if you’re trying to defend those statements, it shows just how little shame you have. Answer me this, why was “Jewish” or “Jew” mentioned at all? How is religion relevant to OWS?
October 25, 2011 at 1:34 pm
Prove it, LS. Show evidence of there being more of those signs at the OWS protests than the anti-Obama, anti-black, anti-Muslim, signs at the tea parties. You’ll be digging at the bottom of the barrel to get it.
October 25, 2011 at 1:43 pm
I can spend all day exposing your lack of shame, INB… so stop throwing stones.
As far as the the “Jew” signs, I don’t know why they were mentioned. The sign shown on Martin Bashir’s program shows the displeasure that some people have with Israel and their relationship with the Arab population. That’s what I gathered.
October 25, 2011 at 1:53 pm
The Anti-Defamation League disagrees with you. When they see signs that read ‘Wall Street Jews’, and ‘Jewish Billionaires’, for some odd reason they don’t see that as a sophisticated analysis of Israel and its Arab population. They see it as anti-seminitism.
October 25, 2011 at 1:55 pm
@ Prog
So OWS now has something to do with American/Israeli relations?
Or maybe it’s just more of the 9/11 Trutherism that you still won’t address.
You’re desire to defend those you agree with politically isn’t unique. But for someone who does it so often, you’d think you’d be better at it.
October 25, 2011 at 2:00 pm
INB, trutherism and anti-semitism merged at the OWS. One sign read: “Jews did 9/11″. Another blamed Mossad. Nope, no antisemitism there.
October 25, 2011 at 2:00 pm
Cut the OWS people some slack. Most don’t really know what they’re doing. They just draw signs that they’ve seen at every other lefty protest and head for the streets. Jews suck. Rich people suck. White people suck. Rich, white, Jews really suck. Blah, blah, blah.
October 25, 2011 at 2:06 pm
At least the OWS movement is good for something!

When anti-Semites use the word “Jew” they are talking about race not religion. A large percentage of the Jews of Belin in the 30′s hadn’t been religious for a generation. Mattered not to the Nazis.
October 25, 2011 at 2:30 pm
^ I remember someone once saying that protests like this were just excuses for young people to get laid. They don’t really care (or understand) the issue, they just know free sex.
Oh alright, it was me. I’m brilliant.
October 25, 2011 at 2:46 pm

October 25, 2011 at 3:38 pm
The Herman Cain ad is awesomely bizarre. Here’s my theory on the Godfather:
“Jump the shark” is a riff on the Fonz jumping a shark tank on his motorcycle, which was a riff on Evel Kneivel jumping busses. Every few months Kneivel would show up on Wide World of Sports to jump a progressively higher number of busses. Herman Cain is trying to jump the most sharks.

October 25, 2011 at 4:17 pm
I love the idea that Cain, a cancer survivor, is somehow trying to promote cigarette smoking. Cuz ya know, I’m always seeing wrinkled old men flack for Phillip Morris (or whatever they call themselves now).
October 25, 2011 at 4:33 pm
^ I hope you’re addressing an amorphis “left”. The only thing I see is some guy who looks like Kolchak: The Night Stalker blowing smoke in my face, then Cain throwing Evil Grin. It’s hilarious.
October 25, 2011 at 4:35 pm
Oops, I linked the article so LS could see the ad. I hadn’t read their silliness about smoking.
October 25, 2011 at 4:37 pm
My addressing is generally amorphous. Ask anyone.
October 25, 2011 at 4:38 pm
Dang, I knew misspelled ‘amorphous’.

Herman Cain has a friendly grin.

Is it just me or is the GOP primary turning into a very bad joke?
October 25, 2011 at 9:44 pm
All primaries are like a bad joke – think “Howard Dean”. These campaigns can be both irritating and funny at the same time but they serve their purpose.

Oh, goody. Live local news at 0100 in Woodruff Park. They got the horses out. Bet they’d rather be asleep.

Suspicious package! Peaceful bomb threats!
October 25, 2011 at 11:05 pm
Unfortunately, those bomb threats are coming from opponents of the movement. If people are getting out of hand, let the cops deal with it. Take your badass “American justice” and go home.

It’s the only way. Every protest movement that made radical change (Vietnam, Civil Rights) started this way. The system is criminally unfair to the average person, and nothing but a national uprising will turn the ship around. The politicians and the power brokers will never pay attention until it’s everywhere.
October 25, 2011 at 11:58 pm
It will reflect the history of liberalism in this country. Which is to say that it costs a buttload of money, and either accomplishes nothing or makes things worse. Which you will then blame on conservatives, and wish to do more of the same. Sad, yet funny.

I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say we disagree. Then I’m gonna climb back off that limb and let someone else do the endless point/counterpoint which will end exactly where it began.
