I’ve hit liberals hard here and I will continue to do so because our philosophies are diametrically opposed in terms of what the country should be doing. I’ve always said however that I’d rather have a good neighbor that I disagree with then an ass who votes with me.
Got an email from a rather UBER Liberal friend who hearing of my job predicament let me know about a local position in his area, not the normal fit but something to keep a few dollars coming in.
That is the greatness of America, to be able to fight like dogs in the political arena and still care enough to try to lend a hand.
If you have friends like that you have everything.
…and their advice is compromise, compromise, compromise…for the GOP.
The exact opposite of Rush Limbaugh. Sarah Palin and the people who got them elected.
Considering their predictions on the death of conservatism it is almost comical to hear them, and this is the most conservative show on msnbc.
UPDATE: OMG a twofer, not only does Lawrence O’Donnell take down Glenn Greenwald, but he comes out and admits he is a hard core socialist and that he needs conservative democrats to get hard core socialists like Barney Frank as chairmen of house committees.
They did not show the RedState video. My son was going on about the “foot stomp” until I showed him the video
and asked what the secret service would have done if it was Obama’s car as Red State says:
So please, condemn head-stomping. Condemn violence. But don’t let the media and the left create a fiction of violent mobs of right-wingers. They’ve been pitching that line since the health care town hall meetings last summer. It has yet to be true.
That well known radical Ann Althouse (who voted for a certain sitting president) says this:
3. The MoveOn.org woman came to the event to create an incident and caused the Ron Paul’s supporters to worry about his safety, so that violent incident was prompted by the urge to defend, in which case even that one incident isn’t a data point that fits the gapingly empty template.
4. “A person in a disguise, carrying a sign from a radical organization, tries to push through the crowd to hand a political opponent an unknown object. What would the Secret Service have done to her?”
Indeed!
My instincts also tell me also that the criminal charges against the “stomper” will not stick because he will claim (as he has) that he viewed Valle as a threat to Paul, and that he was trying to keep her down until the police could arrive.
In fairness they haven’t made a big fuss that I saw, but giving the bit without the context reinforces a false narrative. I’ve defended Morning Joe in general and Joe Scarborough when fellow conservatives have hit, because I maintain that other than blind spots on Palin and Afghanistan he’s not bad. I expect him to come through and point out the context and at least mention the media double standard.
Bottom line, the full story is available online, MSNBC in general and Morning Joe in particular has as much excuse for ignoring it as the do for ignoring the Ken Gladney story.
There are two shows before election day. I’m hoping my faith is not misplaced.
