DID ANYONE SEE MEET THE PRESS TODAY????!!!!

[Pryderi]

I'm finally getting around to watching it today, and David Gregory had Trent Franks (R-Arizon) on the panel. Here's a quote from this scumbag from just this past November:

Obama “has no place in any station of government and we need to realize that he is an enemy of humanity."

3. Obama never represented a Marxist agenda

Maybe you were looking for MarxistUnderground.com? :shrug:

[Pryderi]

4. You believe Obama is "an enemy of humanity"??? REALLY?

[wtmusic]

6. Boink.

Into the void

[neverforget]

2. I'm sure Gregory called him out on it too.......

:eyes:

[rbrnmw]

5. I am sure he did

:sarcasm:

[Pryderi]

8. Nope. I just finished.

[neverforget]

9. Shocked!

:sarcasm:

16. I saw Gregory applauding Rove who was dancing exuberantly at a press club dinner

As if all those dead bodies being created in Iraq at that very moment meant nothing. As far as I was concerned, the entire administration should have suspended all gaiety until the war was over.

Gregory was just reveling being with the big and powerful, no matter what. I never watched another minute with the man after that disgusting performance.

[Supersedeas]

20. that will always be the lasting memory of Gregory--Rove's backup dancer

and he still backs-up the same political persuasion even today.

Dance away David Dance

[freshwest]

21. Agreed, but I think about 99% of them do the same thing!

[nadinbrzezinski]

7. Well you know that is very normal talk

:sarcasm: and yes we did... for the first time in years.

For the record, tomorrow's Rush show will be telling as to the tone they are going to take, at least short term. And yes I will make a point of listening to El Rushbo... haven't (by accident the few times I did) in decades.

11. Put up the Cliff Notes later- I can't take El Rushbo- nt

[nadinbrzezinski]

13. Some of us know how critical this could be

[Rosa Luxemburg]

10. who is this Franks person?

[RainDog]

12. So, David Gregory is complicit in hate speech.

he didn't take this person's rhetoric to task?

this is why the American media is a failure for democracy - but a boon to corporate fuckdom - with little princes like Gregory.

[Pryderi]

14. It was irresponsible of David Gregory not to bring it up, He needs to be replaced.

[RainDog]

15. or, like me, you can stop paying for his job by refusing to watch him

..or any of the other corporate gasbaggers.

their attempts to frame the narrative fail when no one watches them.

[freshwest]

18. I did cut it off, but then I have a weak stomach.

[Major Hogwash]

17. Gregory was a poor replacement for Tim.

He couldn't tie his shoelaces.
Tim would never have stooped as low as to legitimize the so-called "tea party" members Gregory had on his program today.

Gregory has little to no influence on anyone anymore.
Just the Fox News viewers, who watch MTP every other show and wonder when Gregory is going to move to their network.

[mindwalker_i]

19. That's what they do

The Right doesn't have a real political argument to make, so they go after the people. Rather than "Obama's policies are bad for America and here's why," it's "He's a Muslim, socialist, dictator who wants to tax the rich to feed satanic gerbils." This is the shit that's gotta stop!

[lonestarnot]

22. Didn't see it, what was Gregory's reaction?

[Pryderi]

24. He was walking on egg shells and letting guests talk about extremism on both sides.

[Neurotica]

23. Gregory also neglected to call out the tea party rep who

made the false equivalency with respect to the vitriol.

He just moved on to the next topic.

Completely frustrating!

25. Normal talk from the GOP, sad that the M$M has GOP paymasters

and won't admit to biased reporting for political gain.

[Oilwellian]

26. Here's a video of Franks saying it
