Finally the Dems strike back. Glad Morning Joe is livid about HRC's statement on pro-lifers...

[kelliekat44]

WTF??? I can't believe that they are so over the edge about HRC's comments yet Trump and all the rest of the GOP can say whatever they want about her and the Dems and blacks and Mexicans and anyone else. I wish I hadn't heard Morning Joe on this spoiled my day. My spouse keeps turning it on while I am dressing.

And for the record, HRC was talking about the attitude of the GOP toward women...Joe and the rest of the FOX gang on MSNBC are accusing of her of comparing 50% of the American population to Islamic Terrorist. WTF!! Now the media belongs totally to the RW. There is no outlet for us. This is now going to be the latest attack against HRC.

1. Remind me again why Mika is considered a liberal.

[CTyankee]

14. She was murmuring agreements to Joe's rant in her own delightful way.

Huckabee wanting to end the exception for rape, incest and life of the woman is no less extreme than ISIS using rape as an instrument of war. David Brooks refers to the theologically condoned rapes committed by ISIS.

Sam Stein tried to get a word in edgewise about the legitimate issue of funding for Planned Parenthood. He made it only so far before Joe starting ranting again and Mika murmured so more. She's worse when Joe's there.

[One of the 99]

25. She's not a liberal and never was.

She only plays one on TV.

[NewJeffCT]

27. she's considered liberal

because she is slightly to the left of Joe on a few issues, and Joe is on "liberal" MSNBC, so is a RINO in the eyes of the Republican base.

[Scuba]

2. Remind me again why MSNBC is considered liberal.

[bvar22]

46. Remind me again about the DEAD intern in Joe's locked office,

while the Media was busy ruining Gary Condit's career for NOTHING.

The dead intern in Joe's locked office was named Lori Klausutis,
and she died from a blow to the back of her head.

This happened in the Florida Panhandle (FT Walton),
and there are STILL many unanswered questions including the competency of the coroner who immediately listed the cause of death as a "accident".

[MicaelS]

48. Gary Condit ruined his own career.

He has no one to blame but himself. Just another male politician that thought he could fuck around and not get caught.

[NRaleighLiberal]

3. Remind me again why any of you watch!

reminds me of the Saturday night live skit with Christpher Guest and Billy Crystal - "man, does that hurt...I hate when that happens"...

[FlatBaroque]

6. Watching cable news

is slightly more harmful than hitting yourself in the head with a ball peen hammer. I hate when that happens. LOL, good reference!

[NRaleighLiberal]

8. it is like reading the definition of insanity, according to Einstein, daily on DU!

[whathehell]

22. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer?

Knowing what the enemy is up to can be advantageous.

[onecaliberal]

34. ^That^

The people who most watch that crap do not vote for democrats.

[morningglory]

38. Hey, NRaleigh

I bought your beautiful book about tomatoes! Good job!

[HenryWallace]

39. This is their core audience!

The people who agree with Scarborough are not watching; they’re over at Fox.

The show is geared for moderates and liberals to listen and eventually be outraged!

Morning Joe's ratings don't warrant the number of post he gets here (DU) and at Huffington (who cares!).

Don't take the bait; don't tune in to see what asinine thing he has said; don't post them here! You may not believe this but, you are his target audience!

Start a new morning tradition; read the paper, listen to NPR, etc. The faster you do this, the quicker he will be gone!

Stop watching and posting about it; when ratings force its cancellation maybe you will get something worth watching!

[sarge43]

40. Know your enemy

Bad intell leads to bad decisions. No intell can lead to being rolled like a cheap rug.

[oberliner]

4. Here's what she said

"Now, extreme views about women, we expect that from some of the terrorist groups, we expect that from people who don't want to live in the modern world, but it's a little hard to take from Republicans who want to be the president of the United States. Yet they espouse out of date, out of touch policies. They are dead wrong for 21st century America. We are going forward, we are not going back."

Ridiculous "outrage" from Joe and company on this.

[RussBLib]

12. and Hillary is absolutely right

I hope she keeps pummeling them.

[Buns_of_Fire]

21. She'll be parsed down to the syllable to get something Joe can be outraged about.

When I first saw it, I thought "she's right" -- followed by "betcha this'll make ol' Joe pop a blood vessel or two tomorrow morning."

And, sure enough, it did -- between the obligatory daily Rump-Worship segments.

[Fla Dem]

23. She speaks the truth. If the Republicans had their way, they would control every

aspect of women's lives. Stick up for Hillary on this one, even of you are a Bernie supporter.

[Gothmog]

5. I may have to watch to see Morning Joe's reaction

[Adrahil]

7. Their reaction is farkin' ridiculous.... nt

[JackInGreen]

9. Well when we're talking about their stripe of Xtian...

well...Yes, I would say it's apt to compare neoconservative christians, at least in motivation, to terrorism. one wants a caliphate with no western influence, one wants a bright white jesus-land. What's Joe complaining about? someone hurt his little feelings about the corpse in his office again?

[66 dmhlt]

10. ALMOST always, if Joe is having a BAD day, then I'm having a GREAT day!

[n2doc]

11. Bullys squeal the most when their victims hit back and bloody them.

GOP ain't 50% of the population either. Especially the hard core teabaggians.

[Betty Karlson]

43. THIS + 1000. n/t

[Laser102]

13. After Trump no one will be shocked by anything anyone says.

The idiots at Morning Joe will start your day off on a bad note. Haven't watched in a year since one of their guests called Obama a dick. That was it for me. Never again.

[CTyankee]

15. As we head further into campaign season you'd better be prepared to throw your TV

out the window! This ain't gonna get better...

just kidding about your tv...sorry...

[Rene]

16. Hillary should sue Faux News, their pundits and so-called pollsters

They are dangerously trying to influence people's thinking about HRC. I've never been called for a 'poll'. Have you? This crap commenting about Hillary is ginned in some right wingers back office. ....and repeatedly frequently to brainwash the low info faux viewers.

[Adrahil]

33. I seem to have gotten into a poll pool

I've been called for polls maybe a dozen times. Dunno know why.

[jalan48]

17. And we wonder why the political spectrum keeps moving further to the right.

[Politicub]

18. Hillary is smart and knows how to start a discussion

When you limit what you say, when you do say something people pay more attention.

Barack Obama knows this. He is consistent with his messages. When he wants to introduce a new idea, he does it with strategy and intent.

The GOP echo chamber is going to distort anything that Hillary, Bernie, O'Malley, Biden, etc. say. I'm not worried about the right wing's media feeds.

When the GOP talks about women, they always seem to overreach and race to the bottom. They have done it in the past, and will do it again.

So let them get worked up in a lather. We need the soundbites from the GOP nominees as they try to out do each other to be the most anti-women candidate in the field. They are going to get uglier and uglier with what they say and do.

Right now the GOP faithful are paying the most attention. It is up to the democratic campaigns to introduce what the GOP is saying to the broader electorate when campaigns get into full swing.

[DirkGently]

19. Good. No apologies.

Best thing Clinton's said in a while.

[blackspade]

20. Someone call Joey a Waaaambulance.

What a pack of fucking idiots.

[CTyankee]

24. Joe is attacking the Dem frontrunner. This is whay a republican does...

they want her weakened from the get go. It's definitely a plan and he's all signed up for it...

[Warpy]

26. I keep waiting for one of them to turn purple and stroke out on the air

Top candidate is Limbag. A close second is O'Reilly. However, Joke Scarborough is in there, too.

Then again, I doubt any of them actually believes the bullshit he keeps spewing.

[valerief]

28. Morning Dead Intern has always been RW. nt

[One of the 99]

29. And Mark Halprin said:

“If a Republican did this, the world would come to a halt,”

This from the man who called the President a dick on the air.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

42. They trot out that nonsensical contention every so often.

I don't know what news media they're watching/reading where Democrats are always getting a pass and poor little Republicans are being jumped all over for the slightest transgression.

[One of the 99]

45. Yet they defend Trump

for throwing a reporter out of a press conference.

If Hillary Clinton had done that, they all would be screaming for her head.

[riversedge]

30. ah, poor widdle joey

[Omaha Steve]

31. K&R

From a Bernie supporter!

[katmondoo]

32. I clapped when I heard HRC's remarks

Finally telling the truth about the GOP and their attitude towards women.

[Android3.14]

35. This is her opportunity to show some ethics and backbone

Now is the time to convince people you are sincere.

Double down, Ms. Clinton, and dump the bank money, prison money, and announce real reforms.

Otherwise, Bernie will continue to overtake you.

[still_one]

36. They cannot handle the truth. Do they realize that Trump is leading everyone in the republican race

for President, and by some polls up to 40%

So to imply that the racism and sexism is a rare occurrence in the republican party, obviously flies in the face of the facts.

[Mike Nelson]

37. A group of Americans...

...believe President Obama is a Muslim terrorist born from Kenya... thanks to Huckabee, Palin, Trump etc. What Hillary said is nothing, compared to the well-coordinated Republican propaganda machine.

[d_legendary1]

41. My question is why are you watching Morning Blow?

I've stopped watching talking head shows since they always make you lose your mind (which is on purpose BTW). I wish someone would break them up so that the real reporting could shine once again.

[kelliekat44]

47. I'm hearing it in the background as I get dressed. Spouse puts it on very morning. I can't stand i

it .

Spouse insists it informs about what the next RW talking point will be.

[d_legendary1]

49. You're better off coming here

than losing your marbles hearing about how X Democratic candidate is bad for America.

[longime demolurker]

44. CONservatives are too damn self-righteous!

Does anyone remember "Paling around with terrorists"? How about the
terrorist "fist bump"? Let's remind everyone about what these people
said about President Obama!
