You’ll forgive me for having watched this 2 minute clip featured by The Washington Free Beacon with the SOUND OFF, as it’s been YEARS since I could physically tolerate the sound of The One, much less Lil’ Mika & her two silicone brains, but WOW: MSNBC’s Morning Joe committed a RARE act of journalism assembling the Sgt. “I know nothing” Schultz pattern of this administration.
Has Obama lost MIKA? It is the end of the world.
Thems is fightin’ words, girlfriend.
A former Obama Administration OFFICIAL, Melody Barnes – so not some back-bencher talking head – ACTUALLY said on national television (well, MSNBC so only the political class saw it and maybe 3 people outside the NY/DC corridor) that we should “back off” protesting Obamacare.
Way to pour gas on the flames, sister.
All it’s done is steel my resolve even deeper.

MELODY BARNES: It is to everyone’s benefit that people back off of what was the Reagan administration legacy that government is bad, government workers are bad and think about how we’re going to make this work because what we’ve seen time and time again with Katrina and moving forward is if we don’t have an effective federal government people get hurt. In fact people can die.
JOE SCARBOROUGH: Hold on a second. why would I back off if I think health care policy is bad for the country in the the long run, the federal government is not competent enough to run it, and the launch has been terrible. Sam Stein asks the question are Republicans going to do their best to help this implementation? No, I don’t think they are. And I don’t think it means they are unpatriotic if they don’t. Obviously what happened over the past few weeks, Sam, absolutely idiotic and self-defeating but why should the Republicans say hey listen we want to help you implement a program that we think will end private insurance over the next decade? That goes against everything I believe and millions and millions of Americans believe.
I can’t take it anymore; the lying – just flat-out lying, which is bad enough, and frequent enough, every quarter-hour in fact, but the fun-house mirror bullsh*t that flies out of people’s mouths unchecked and unchallenged by a single one of the 4 or 5 people around the table who should know better, has reached critical mass for me. It’s just no longer tolerable.
Katrina Vanden Heuvel, that communist tart, and I mean both communist & tart quite literally – and can prove the former – uttered the phrase “They’re a destructive force, not a constructive one” just as I flipped over to Morning Joe. I was shocked. Silly me. I thought she was referring to OWS… She was referring to House Tea Party Republicans! AHHHHH!
That tore it.
That utterance was so, clearly, demonstrably, provably, upside-goddamned-down insane, such a gross, ugly, willful perversion of the prima-f*cking-facie truth, I snapped.
Time to save my blood-pressure, health in general, and sanity. Time for a lifestyle change. Time to just listen to some ’70’s music and mellow the f*ck out.
I usually spend the hours between 6am and 9am flipping between Morning Joe & Fox & Friends. The former to see what sort of propaganda we have to fight, and the latter in the hope I might actually learn something from some actual reporting or analysis.
They’ve both devolved into intolerable cr*p. Fox, less so, because at least they have “The Polynesian Pitbull,” Michelle Malkin on, or, occasionally Dr. Thomas Sowell, who is a national treasure. But since Glenn Beck left the network, they’ve lost their balls. Just flat-out lost ’em.
And can we get the Fox women out of the Saturday Night Fever wardrobe rejects and into some f*cking St. John? Please???? You mean to tell me they can’t work a couture credit and make these women look decent? Really? They dress them up like whores.
I’m disgusted with the whole lot of them.
Tantrum over.
Now back to my commercial-free, all 1970’s HD radio station.
Rock out.
If all the rich lefties on television think Occupy Wall Street isn’t a dangerous roving mob, they’d better wake up. Rapidly.
They’re not animated by ‘D’ for ‘Democrat.’ They’re not going to mob-walk to rich Republicans’ Manhattan townhouses while walking past George Soros’ townhouse forever. They’re just targeting the ‘least-friendlies’ first.
They’re animated by ‘Rage.’ That’s the ‘R’ we all need to worry about.
Obama’s fixed-pie demagoguery has worked. They really believe that because Bill Gates made $100,000 in interest just while sleeping last night, they are $100,000 poorer.
Marxism’s evil really is beautiful, isn’t it? You have to admire it.
Yeah… Well, the Marxist OWS cheerleaders on MSNBC may well be ‘admiring’ it while dialing 911 for a ‘pig’ to come clear their front door of the OWS mob when they show up for their ‘fair share.’ Here’s a clue, kids: Your Manhattan doorman might save you in New York, but they know where your country house is, too.
Let me help you, Mika, etc. Walking out on the front porch and saying, ‘But… but… I like you! I’m one of you.’ doesn’t change the their lyin’ eyes. You’re not one of them. You have stuff they want and it’s only fair they take it.
Got it?
99% of America either:
(1.) Doesn’t follow the hour-to-hour developments on the ‘non-sexual’-but-‘offensive gesture’-sex-‘harassment‘-non-story, which is now what the Establishment analysts of both Parties (technically correctly) describe as a process’ vs. ‘substance’ problem. It’s now become HOW Herman answers the questions, NOT a story on the veracity of the original charge in the first place.
(2.) Yup… But even if his answers are ‘evolving’… Nobody cares!
Know why? Because NORMAL people think like Herman did, which is what got him in this mess.
Herman thought the truth would set him free. That’s why, even thought he had a heads up about this, he didn’t assemble a team of ‘Spinners.’
I firmly believe he thought he could just tell the truth… as he remembered it… coming back to him, as it understandably would after 12 years, in ever-more detailed bits…
I am personally troubled by the fact that Herman failed the ’emergency on the trail’ management test, yes, I am. But I am unmoved by it because I know, down to my bones, that it was a mistake made by an honorable man, who – and this is the real core of this – until he’d touched the Progressive Power grid, didn’t realize the voltage of that evil. What’s new, is that the Establishment G.O.P. contributed to the electric shock.
Now he knows D.C. in this unique moment in time, when we have a culture, helped along by Obama, of pitting American against American… and Establishment (read: CORRUPT) GOP against New (read: HONORABLE) Tea Party.
My man Herman’s a fast learner. He’ll not make this mistake again. On the trail…
…Or in the White House.
BTW: Remember Obama’s horrible, dreadful, inexplicable FLUB on drivers’ licenses for illegals during the ’08 campaign debates? A flub made even though Hillary had been burned in the previous debate? Nobody on MSNBC regarded Obama’s LACK OF FRIGGING DEBATE PREPARATION – KNOWING HE WOULD GET THE DAMNED QUESTION as DISQUALIFYING, did they?
UPDATE: Morning Joe is jumping all over Herman for a clip they played of him which, to their ear, indicated that Herman thought China didn’t have nukes. Uh… No, you dishonest brokers. He’s using the normal, vernacular short-hand that everybody uses which is to describe they ability to nuke us from there. Got it?
UPDATE II: Just while writing the above paragraph, Andrea Mitchell and the panel lamented that the Republican Party is giving Herman ‘a pass’ and ‘not asking the questions’ they should ask…
Someone find me a puppy so I can kick it! AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
SERIOUSLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE? DO THEY HAVE NO SELF-AWARENESS WHATSOEVER? OMG!
Pass? GETTING A PASS, ANDREA????????????????????????
You mean like you gave Obama ‘I’ve been to 57 states so far’ A PASS?????
And that’s not even the WORST, STUPID thing he’s said, before OR AFTER the White House!
