Fuck you Harold Ford

[malaise]

Fuck you Tweety - take your anti-labor views and go fuck yourselves.
The fucking middle class is being destroyed - the poor are in crisis and you are defending corporations, free trade and anti-worker bullshit.

[mikelgb]

1. gawd is that fuck still around, I thought New York sent him packing?

why is he relevant?

[Individualist]

4. He's chairman of the damn DLC

:puke:

[Stephanie]

32. One encounter with the NY Stonewall Democrats and Harold threw in the towel.

He didn't even get a chance to visit the rest of NY, he was too skeered.

[politicasista]

2. Yawn

:boring:

Nice rant.

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

3. The former DLC head who toyed with becoming a Republican?

That Harold Ford?

[Individualist]

6. He's still chairman of the right wing DLC

5. Thank you

Incredible how he implied that centrists have anything to do with the preserving the middle class.

When lefties were fighting to create unions, have a minimum wage, create child labor laws and on and on - centrists were absent for that roll call. And you can be damned sure that they'd have to be arm twisted into voting for legislation that aims to preserve the working class of America.

Meh, feh and fuck you indeed, Harold Ford.

7. Wasn't that unfuggingbelievable?

He's scum pure and simple.

[eleny]

10. It was galling to hear him take credit for the hard lifes work of others

The others whose shoulders he stands upon.

[Nite Owl]

23. At that time centrists had another name---

Republicans.

[tnlefty]

8. And now you know why I still shiver when I think of the many

hours that I put into trying to get him elected even though I didn't like a lot of his votes, policy initiatives, etc.

I'm just glad that another state has to deal with him, sorry NY.

[CreekDog]

9. He didn't have problems with primary challenges when he was running against Gillibrand

:wtf:

:banghead:

[old mark]

11. They were just talking about how "progressives" are bad for the Democratic Party

because we want to "exclude" middle class Americans...Matthews stated progressives want those who support second amendment rights "out of the party", those who are anti-choice,those who support "fair trade" (NAFTA) etc "out of the party", and that WE are dangerous because we will make the party smaller by excluding those people...

Matthews sees politics as a game and seems to have little understanding or real life and how terrible policies affect the actual lives of people all over the world. Matthews is very naive and childish and has limited grasp of reality.

Ford is just another DINO asshole who Matthews seems to worship.

This program is really a waste of time akin to Morning Joe....

12. *WHAT* Democratic Party?

I agree, let Amy bring Democracy Now! to MSNBC mid day or mornings.
Well, Lincoln beat out Halter too, so it continues.

[emulatorloo]

13. Haven't seen it. Doesn't sound like something Matthews would say, I guess I will tape the rerun.

Thanks for the summary

[upi402]

14. Mathews says it a lot n/t

[eleny]

17. He believes in kissing the ass he's with

[emulatorloo]

21. LOL, I know he has a soft spot in his head for Harold Ford.

Something I could never figure out.

[malaise]

20. It was particularly bad today

I don't understand this declaration of war against the people who do most of the work and give them the victories.

Give thanks for Ed Shultz and Leo Gerard - I agree anonymous comments don't deserve any attention. Leo says Obama better clear this up as Steel workers have an obligation to defend workers. He's also upset with Clinton. Says those comments don't represent Obama and he needs to clear the air.

[eleny]

22. Yes, conversely it was a delight to hear Katrina vanden Heuvel just now on Ed's show

Her message of organizing for power was a "what to do now" message.

[malaise]

25. She actually believes in people power

Watching the wives and kids of those killed is way too sad. Sorry Mr.Jones.

[old mark]

27. Yes - I saw part of that, too - very refreshing after the "news" on MSM....nt

[liberation]

31. I think they figured out their triangulations are paying off, and they have the moderate GOP vote

thus they can stop pretending to even remotely tolerate liberals, and they can be free to tell us how they really feel.

I believe they truly see Lincoln's victory as a validation of their strategy. I expect this White House to stop even pretending to give the time of day to liberals. It has been a great week for them: unions lost at the ballot, and that pissant Helen Thomas is finally gone. I think their only fear is figuring out if enough info regarding the clusterfuck in the Gulf is leaking out as to affect their image. So far, it makes perfect sense as to why this admin has done everything possible to muffle information coming from the gulf.

[Blue Owl]

15. A New Generation of Lieberdouche

Can't stand backstabbing turncoats like Harold Ford.

[Demoiselle]

16. You and I must have had the exact same thought at the exact same time.

I was so disgusted with Tweety and that (@#*6%*#^%*$H^) weasel Harold Ford that I switched to a Law and Order SVU rerun. (To cheer myself up.!)
HOW can Democrats imagine they can piss on Labor?!!!
Arrogant idiots.

[AlinPA]

18. Ford is a regular on the right wing MSNBC morning show. He is not a Democrat if you

listen to him.

[polichick]

19. His spin on DLC values was just laughable - what a tool! nt

[ladjf]

29. All of his talk about "doing something for middle class America"

and the floor washer made me want to puke. nt

[Dawson Leery]

24. Blanche will be joining Harold in the losers box this fall.

[democrank]

26. Glad I missed it.

I couldn`t sit through 3 seconds of DLC Harold pretending he knew anything about everyday working folks. As for Tweety, he`s MSM`s Professional Flip-Flopper. One day he`s a Temporary Populist, the next day he`s ass-kissing the one he assumes is the most important person in the room. My head hurts.

[ladjf]

28. That was a disgusting conversations between Mathews and Ford. nt

[WCGreen]

30. They are both such tools...

[Catherina]

33. And how, out of curiosity, is it that ole Harold was able to stick around so long? n/t

[butterfly77]

34. Kicked&Recommended!!!

[HughMoran]

35. Fuck him. ...oh, and change his name to Chevy

Don't soil my brand, biotche!
