MSNBC should dump Tweety, SloeJoe, Buchanann
Edited on Thu Aug-28-08 08:58 AM by Phred42
and send them to FOX where they belong.

Make a break for the future guys. Become the network of the Future now.

Olbermann, Maddow, Schuster, Abrams.....and others are the Future.

2. I'd like a liberal circle jerk too, but lets be realistic
it won't happen. At least they got KO and Maddow now, asking for more might be a bit much right now :).

3. Tweety and Keith were actually alright last night..
I think Chris was truly caught up in all the emotion, he genuinely seemed overcome. Not that he doesn't piss me off on a regular basis. I think he's just a smartass who enjoys stirring up shit.

Scabby is a lying sack of crap, and Buchanan is a racist dirtball.

11. and Chris "We're all NeoCons NOW" Mathews acted
like a hard nippled high school cheerleader for Bush on 2000 and 2004.

HE should be on FOX - It's time to clear the decks and move Forward

6. Replying so I can watch later
I've missed the MSNBC dust ups because I've been watching CSPAN this week, but I'm grateful to whoever is recording and uploading these clips. :thumbsup:

10. I think Chris Matthews is about to go off the deep end.
Edited on Thu Aug-28-08 09:04 AM by gatorboy
His hair flying wildly in the breeze. He looked like a hung over crazy person.

And in that clip Olbermann said "us" referring to both of them talking too much, not just Tweety. I don't know why he took it so personally. Maybe he was still pissed that the crew was trying to get him to wrap it up.

17. Oh, it definitely showed.
Edited on Thu Aug-28-08 09:15 AM by gatorboy
Tweety was constantly trying to correct Keith's comments or out do them with his vast historical knowledge of politics. :eyes: But couldn't the crew have loaned the guy a friggin comb? Tweety looked like Doc Brown.

14. He does appear to have emotional issues at times..
it could be due to his health, I don't know, but he struggles to keep it in check. Keith probably feels like he's walking on eggshells all the time.

12. Tweety, Joe, and Pat all display horrible on screen manners.
Tweety slobbers, asks questions then keeps talking so that the question can't be answered. Or, he interrupts before the answer is given because it isn't what he wanted to hear, or he likes the sound of his voice better.

Joe is a right winger all the way. As a former Repug member of Congress, what did MSNBC expect?

Pat also doesn't know when to shut up, and his wheezing, whining voice is annoying at best. He is rude, interrupts others, screeches over others with opposing views, and often has incorrect information, or is deliberately dispersing propaganda.

MSNBC would do well to dump all of them, along with (F)ucker Carlson.

The Republicans have had their chance, and they've screwed up everything. Bush hasn't kept any of his campaign promises. The new wave truly is the Democratic Party, and if we could get rid of the DINOs, we'd be in pretty good shape.

15. Norah O'Donnell very rudely interrupted Eugene Robinson last night..
Edited on Thu Aug-28-08 09:13 AM by Virginia Dare
right in the middle of a very eloquent comment about Obama's nomination and what it means to African Americans. Gene was clearly irritated. She kept sputtering, but what does it mean to America while he was trying to finish. I hate that woman.

26. Norah seems quite shallow to me.
I caught her interrupting Gene and others as well, usually with some non sequitur. She's in over her head.

19. Well why not start by us dumping the msm?
Like those trees in the forest, if no one watches them do they even exist? The answer is not really. Except in the minds of the few who are too dense to realize they're being lied to.

Just change the chanel, and get your news on the internet. IT's not that hard. Or does anyone think they're going to suddenly realize the error of their ways and straighten up?

MSNBC is the best opportunity for this since Turner sold CNN to the Fascists.
