1. Halperin earning his playground cred of journalism, eh - Beck would be so proud

I'm guessing the 7 second delay wouldn't even trigger for the word 'dick' but the show appeared to blame the machine/operator instead of the person who chose to make the statement -- Time Magazine's Mark Halperin.

his apology was pathetic and contrived -

17. LOL. I love how they are all giggling like children and Halprin sits there with the "oh shit" look.

Couldn't happen to a bigger bunch of d-bags.


Joe: "Have faith. You you fall down, I'll catch you"


:rofl: So much for Joe being a stand-up guy.

[chervilant]

24. Hmph...

He hasn't been a stand-up guy since before Lori Klausutis was found dead in his office.

(Did the term IOKIYAR originate with Boring Joe?)

[DianaForRussFeingold]

28. Exactly! Joe:"Trust me"

IMO,That show has no integrity!
:dem: Countdown with Keith Olbermann; Mark Halperin..

2. He made a fake apology later. The arrogant bastard should be on Fox "news".

3. President Roosevelt "I welcome their hatred"

4. Ha ha ha. It's all so funny!

Sheesh...just a big joke to these guys. But Ed Schultz gets suspended for insulting Laura Ingrham.

[DianaForRussFeingold]

5. The double standard is really getting unbelievable!

:banghead:

[The Wielding Truth]

13. Absolutely! Halperin should be ban from NBC! Equal treatment!

[janedum]

16. Of course! Ingrahm + white, Obama + black = OK to insult Obama. The President!

[kstewart33]

6. Racism raises its ugly head again.

A stretch? Don't think so. Not one to call anyone a racist, but that's the first thing I thought seeing this clip.

In many quarters of the media, there is a subtle undercurrent of treating Obama with less respect. It's amazing with these guys.

[Hamlette]

11. Imagine if someone had called Bush a dick on some morning show

the right would still be screaming about how mistreated the right is.

Remind me why I hate Halperin? Seems like there is someone with a similar name and I get 'em mixed up.

[Pirate Smile]

7. According to Twitter, Politico & Mediaite both have clips that don't show how everybody just laughed

their asses off afterward so they don't really show how bad it was. The Blaze (Beck's site) has the longer clip. I haven't checked out the clips myself.

[BeyondGeography]

8. Kind of a limp, Beltway-style rendition of calling someone a dick

Dorky.

[Renew Deal]

9. Halperin has lost his mind.

[spooked911]

10. I think Obama needs to be an even bigger dick to assholes like Halperin

figuratively of course. :)

[drm604]

12. So why didn't they use the delay?

Were they teasing him and don't they actually have a delay? Did someone in the control booth screw up?

Maybe they should all be suspended for goading him on.

[Atman]

14. MoJo has a 7 second delay because of Scab saying "fuck" on air.

And yes, they taunted Halperin..."Say it...go on, say it!" Then he said it, and the producers didn't use the delay.

Score one for the producers. I'm sick of this asshole.

15. Seen it when it happened

Control guy hit wrong button; point is he said it. I've noticed lately he has been very critical of Obama. Brzezinski tried to blame control guy not knowing his job.
I heard much worse on that show and so did the control guy. He isn't there to cover their hypocrisy. They suspended the guy who made the remark. That show is getting to be tiresome with all the talking over one another and silliness.

[butterfly77]

22. Lately???

Halperin has been doing this since Obama was elected. Maybe,he had a bad night and he couldn't sleep to well because he didn't cover as well as he usually does.

Obama should no his place,doesn't he realize who he is talking too?:sarcasm:

[Thornleylv]

18. Fire him now!

Is that any way to sell news?

[Britethorn]

19. Halperin's Apology

From "The Page":
"I want to offer a heartfelt and profound apology to the President, to my TIME and MSNBC colleagues, and to the viewers. My remark was unacceptable, and I deeply regret it."

I think he just could have said when he made the remark about President Obama he was being, "kind of a Dick."

[Homer03]

20. The Poor Man

Obtained assurances that it would be "Off the air" before they dragged the comment out of him. This is hugely unfair!

[kstewart33]

23. Not really.

Dragged it out of him?

You could tell the guy was ready to aim and fire. On the air or not, that's terrible judgement.

[butterfly77]

21. They are going to have a meeting after the show..

so they can bring Pat Buchanan on to explain it more clearly. They are going to have a meeting so that Scarborough can throw it to Willie Geist and Barnicle so they can explain to us what it really means..

[LaPera]

25. Halperin is a lying republican asshole & shill - Good fucking riddance!!

[kornovol]

26. Yet...

Yet he's so charming in this one:

27. Let Halperin go work for Faux News nt

[JJW]

29. Mornin' Joe

Is a childish program. So not surprised they giggle uncontrollably at dirty mouth jokes.

[KansDem]

30. They're all Bozos

Watching CorpMedia "journalists" is alot like watching a circus.

And I hate circuses...
