HOT — Mitt’s pick of Paul Ryan. All of a sudden the Democrats are the one’s defensive on saving Medicare. Game changer bold move that have all cable channels buzzing.
NOT — Touré shows what a vile, nasty place MSNBC really is.
August 18, 2012 at 9:32 am
Toure isn’t telling us what we didn’t already know. Situation normal.
August 18, 2012 at 10:06 am
Toure told the truth, albeit unpleasantly. Campaigning against the President with words like “anger” and “hate” is disgusting. The GOP should throw that sleazeball outta the party.
August 18, 2012 at 10:34 am
Joe, 0bama IS campaigning on divisiveness and hate, but we’re not supposed to notice or say anything BECAUSE HE IS BLACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So there.

You need a backhoe to clear out the hypocrisy of this joint.
August 18, 2012 at 11:04 am
I apologize for my post, above. I should have stated my source which, of course, was “Captain Obvious”.
August 18, 2012 at 12:08 pm
Are you sure it wasn’t Harry Reid?
PS: How does he still have a job?!?
August 18, 2012 at 1:27 pm
Toure screamed “racism” which is all liberals know how to do, And then throw a hissy fit when people call them on it. You sound like fools, but not much else is new. Keep screaming it, and maybe it’ll make a difference, just this once.
August 18, 2012 at 2:01 pm
I’ll scream it every time I see it. In this case it’s race-baiting, not racism. How many effing times do I have to explain this?
August 18, 2012 at 2:05 pm
The “race-baiters” are the people who want to decide what language we can use in any given situation. You don’t get to be Language Police, and decide who has evil intent and who doesn’t. Deal with it.
August 18, 2012 at 2:26 pm
Geezus, I was kidding when I said some people could find racial symbolism/code words in their bowl of oatmeal.
It wasn’t a request.
Gawd.
August 18, 2012 at 2:31 pm
I can have any damn opinion about some douchebag politician’s language I want. It’s my opinion. YRMV. Deal with it.
August 18, 2012 at 2:36 pm
The only person here telling others what to say and how to say it is you.
No. One. Else.
I can’t stop you if I wanted to. And believe me I have no desire to stop you from saying whatever the heck you want.
Every third post of yours refutes your earlier posts.
Why bother trying to stop you?
August 18, 2012 at 2:36 pm
And express it for the hundredth time. Yawn.
August 18, 2012 at 2:41 pm
Y’all keep making a stink over my opinion, I’m gonna keep defending it. Maybe you should consider talking about something else.
August 18, 2012 at 2:45 pm
There’s real racism in America. Black people suffer it.
Using the term so loosely doesn’t help fight it. Conservatives think it’s not much of a problem. It is. But throwing it around like this leads to them dismissing the real racism that is still out there.
Save it for when it really occurs. Not chicken stuff like this.
August 18, 2012 at 2:56 pm
Race-baiting, not racism. You’re so dismissive of the problem that you can’t even bother to understand the topic.
August 18, 2012 at 3:08 pm
We’re dismissive of a complaint that is so clearly self-serving. “Anger” and “hate” are now, conveniently, racial code-words. What. Ever.

Good news, comrades: http://politicker.com/2012/08/seal-assault-just-beginning/
These “attacks” that the Special Operations guys are making on the POTUS for leaking national security secrets are apparently just the beginning. And the left is stating that this is just like the “Swift Boat” attacks against Thurston Howell III back in 2004.
I agree with that assessment!! And thank the Lord for it.
August 18, 2012 at 7:46 pm
Conservatives think it’s not much of a problem.
You are so wrong. Stop believing the bs that the liberals spew, which is why they throw it around so much.

August 18, 2012 at 10:04 pm
Not: Cable news group-think. An insignificant story that made the cable news rounds this week was about a mom who dressed her young daughter up as Dolly Parton for a TV show-sponsored pageant. Almost all of the talking heads called this “creepy” and associated the costume with “dressing sexy”.
Even the self-proclaimed “fair and balanced” Fox News programmes left out what I thought was a glaringly obvious perspective. That is, she was dressing up as Dolly Parton – probably one of the most wholesome celebrities anyone can think of. Little girls are certainly innocent and hopefully oblivious to anything “sexy”, but they aren’t stupid. Of course you’d expect to see a little girl dressing up as “Dolly Parton” to have big boobs and butt as part of the costume.
I think little girl beauty pageants are dumb and television shows about them even dumber. Still, if a news channel is going to cover such a story it should do it right.
August 18, 2012 at 10:18 pm
Dolly Parton is like a human Barbie Doll. You’d almost have to be a little weird to think of her that way, especially now,
August 18, 2012 at 10:20 pm
Not: Soledad O’Brien uses Talking Points Memo blog as notes on live TV.
NOT: replaying of Bidens’ foot in his mouth over and over….Joe a dipstick….picking him almost cost Obama my vote….but then McCain found a way to make me over look him……turns out the VP picks decided my vote. How many times do we really need to see Biden saying the same dumb thing in 1 day. I will admint that finding out a large number of the people he was talking to were black made a difference…..but its Biden….thats what he does.
August 19, 2012 at 6:05 am
It is time to stop giving Joe a pass. He is the Vice President for goodness sake. During the early days of his term you could chuckle about him. There is no way we should be OK with his loose lips any more. No more laughing on my part, now I just have disgust.
August 19, 2012 at 6:35 am
The thought of him as President should frighten everyone. I pray for Obama’s good health.
August 19, 2012 at 10:57 am
Good point, Pam. It’s not like he’s the stand in for Jay Leno; the job of POTUS is serious. The only thing is that he couldn’t make more of a mess of things than the incumbent has done.
August 19, 2012 at 5:59 pm
HOT: If you’ve lost Tina Brown…
http://www.thedailybeast.com/newsweek/2012/08/19/niall-ferguson-on-why-barack-obama-needs-to-go.html
August 19, 2012 at 6:10 pm
Oh, they haven’t lost Tina. They never had Naill. Loved his PBS series on Ascent of Money. He is what Paul Krugman would be if he had a brain instead of a prize. Tina just needs to sell mags. Newsweek is on the ropes with the Harmon family bailing.
August 19, 2012 at 6:14 pm
sneak preview: next week’s NEWSWEEK cover headline:
WOULD BARACK EVER CHEAT ON MICHELLE?
World’s Best PYSCICs Predict!
August 19, 2012 at 6:24 pm
Lordy, when Newsweek runs a cover story praising Obama you complain about the liberal press.
But when they run a cover story critical of him all of your concerns about press bias disappear.
Well, which is it?
Yes, I’ll now get off my high horse. It can get dizzy up here.
August 19, 2012 at 6:35 pm
Pay attention and prove you are smarter than the horse. It’s only on the cover for shock value to sell mags. Tina has been going overboard the last month as NEWSWEEK is loosing money faster than the Chevy Volt.
August 20, 2012 at 4:47 am
larry: come on.. don’t you know the Chevy Volt is the greatest thing EVER! (at least according to joe) Don;t you bad mouth the Chevy Volt.
August 20, 2012 at 8:23 am
^^The man has a bat in his attic.
August 20, 2012 at 10:37 am
How’s that out of context dredging up of my name going today? I know a little about cars, and explained the Volt’s purpose and operation accurately. I never said it was “the greatest car in the world”. It’s a good car.
August 20, 2012 at 10:51 am
Gee my old LaSalle ran great.
August 20, 2012 at 10:53 am
Bat is gone. Talked him into taking a ride on the roof of my car.
August 20, 2012 at 11:21 am
If only he had known about Seamus he’d never would have gone with you.
Probably would have known about it if Fox News didn’t control so much of the press.
Fox kills again….
See, I made it cable news related?
August 20, 2012 at 5:57 pm
Now if Joe ever decided to buy a gun, it might be this one:

August 20, 2012 at 6:24 pm
Uh..no. The little gold race car inlay is pretty cheesy. But I might buy a gun one of these days and do a little target practice. Or maybe not.
August 20, 2012 at 6:30 pm
A .22 and some tin cans is fun.Though I don’t know where you can do plinking in CA. I just go out in the backyard.
August 20, 2012 at 6:49 pm
No plinking here. Shooting range, or whatever you call those places.
August 20, 2012 at 7:50 pm
A big NOT to ABC which is just so prone to going off half-cocked it is getting ridiculous:

August 21, 2012 at 6:14 am
I think the jury is still out on ABC’s claim. The kind of person who would react to terminal illness by ending his life is the kind of person who might not tell his family what he was dealing with.
