OMG Morning Joe is covering it!

Mike Allen in Politico is saying this is foolish and a suicide mission but Joe is defending Hoffman and is pushing Hoffman over Dede. They even mentioned ACORN!

Allen is talking up Gingrich and Joe is slapping him down pointing out that the NRCC and Newt went after conservatives in 14. I didn’t know this. This is HUGE.

Of course they were able to lump Palin in with Thompson and Pawlenty so she would not have been the one in front.

When Pat is on I expect to hear more.

The worm has turned!

Hoffman has broken through the MSM this is big. The question is: Was I wrong about the MSN or did the Beck story and the Thompson ad force their hand, OR is the Beck 3rd party thing pushing it to show the 3rd party stuff.

Vote Hoffman

BTW all my Hoffman stuff is here

Update: Newsbusters enjoys Politico’s discomfort.

They still aren’t mentioning the Palin thing about Morning Joe…

…now logically you would think that either Politico would say something in the 6 a.m. hour because of the republican “divide” or a guest would bring it up to say how the party is having issues.

Nope still not a word. Why not?

If all of the “pundits” are right about it hurting republicans SOMEONE would mention it particularly on MSNBC, but nope.

Of course any publicity would highlight the need for the party to go in the Palin direction or would give Hoffman publicity, however aren’t the same media insisting that he can’t win?

This continues to support my thesis concerning this race, that even though some think Palin might hurt Hoffman the national media doesn’t believe it.

the Hoffman campaign is looking for foot soldiers, cluebat for all, moderates aren’t excited enough about anything for stuff like that. It’s the Tea Party people that make a difference. Hey NRCC will you be wanting excited people voting for you in 2010 or no?

Vote Hoffman.

Update: I’m thinking it’s the Acorn connection that is helping to keep them away.

Update 2: If you still don’t believe me consider this: For the last 7 min they talked NY politics on Morning Joe. They talked about the governors race, they talked about the senate race, they brought up the mayors race. The only race they didn’t mention is the one that is actually going on; NY-23. There is no way this is a coincidence!

I wonder if Mika would be quoting Peter Singer op-ed so approvingly…

…if the Catholic Mika knew about his stand concerning ALREADY BORN human life?

Singer says, “If we compare a severely defective human infant with a nonhuman animal, a dog or a pig, for example, we will often find the nonhuman to have superior capacities, both actual and potential, for rationality, self-consciousness, communication and anything else that can plausibly be considered morally significant.”

When Singer came to teach at Princeton, he was protested by Not Dead Yet, a disabilities rights group. They took offense at Singer’s books, which say it should be legal to kill disabled infants, as well as children and adults with severe cognitive disabilities.

Singer suggests that individual human worth is based on its usefulness to others

Funny that’s just how slaveholders considered the value of their slaves, not because of their humanity but by what they could be used to do.

If Mika doesn’t know who this guy is that’s a point against her for ignorance. If she does then she should be damn ashamed of herself for giving him props.

Lawrence O’Donnell thinks of something I didn’t about Married Priests…

…I mentioned the difference in pay but on Morning Joe just they were talking about the Pope and the Anglican communion etc and the suggestion was it might lead to changing the rules on married priests. (I think it’s a bad idea but there is certainly nothing that would contrast with eternal truth) O’Donnell said the Church even if it wanted to can’t afford it, (the quote is from memory):

Right now the church has to pay for health insurance for its priests, how are they going to afford health insurance for wives and 9 kids since married priests won’t be using birth control.

That thought never occurred to me. When O’Donnell isn’t dealing with a topic like Iraq or Palin that afflicts him with Sullivan’s Syndrome he can be quite wise. He also said something else that was telling (again quote might not be exact):

Nobody has asked priests for marital advice for 50 years, go see a shrink instead.

I can certainly believe that, perhaps if people were taking advice from their parish priest instead of their shrinks the divorce and illegitimacy rates wouldn’t have gone through the roof over the last 50 years.

Personally I don’t think that the decline of marriage was a bug of the 60’s, I think the people who celebrate the turning away from the church consider it a feature. Certainly the other side would.
