From the “You Can’t Make This Stuff Up” Department:
The other day, Newt Gingrich took a pot shot at President Obama. He told Republicans meeting in New Orleans that, “shooting three-point shots may be clever, but it doesn’t put anybody to work.” It was a reference to President Obama’s televised shoot-out with CBS sports analyst and former basketball star Clark Kellogg during the network’s coverage of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship.
No big deal, right? Guess again, Sunshine.
A day later on “Morning Joe” on MSNBC, Norah O’Donnell, the cable network’s chief Washington correspondent, told the other guests the following:
“But I’m not sure what he [Gingrich] means by this particular sound bite and I think it’s open to some criticism because it suggests that the President is an athlete and some people may suggest, you know, because all black people are good athletes. I mean that’s what it sort of sounds like to me.”
No kidding. She really said that.
The good news is that the rest of the panel didn’t buy it. There was a lot of scoffing at Ms. O’Donnell’s expense. But she wasn’t done. “Well what’s this suggestion about him playing basketball? That he’s not doing his job?” O’Donnell demanded to know.
One of the panelists defended O’Donnell’s take on Gingrich’s remark. Jonathan Capehart who writes editorials at the Washington Post said, “Norah, I will back you up, because my eyebrow arched as well.”
Hey, my eyebrow is arching too. It often does when I’m about to call members of the lamestream media … dolts!
But since exploring dopiness can be fun, let’s try to answer the million dollar question: Why did Ms. O’Donnell see racism in Gingrich’s pot shot. The answer, sports fans, is simple:
Because she’s a liberal, that’s why.
Liberals see everything through the prism of race. If someone throws garbage in the river and you complain, you’re a good citizen who cares about the environment. If the guy who tossed the garbage is black and you complain, you’re a racist.
On the eve of The Masters, Augusta National chairman Billy Payne delivered a public lecture to Tiger Woods, which prompted this from New York Times columnist George Vescey:
“Just asking, but would Payne have been so quick to deliver his little sermon to a white golfer who was caught straying?”
I thought the election of our first black president was going to usher in a wonderful post-racial era. Well, it hasn’t. Just the opposite has transpired. Now you run the risk of being tarred a racist if you criticize President Obama for just about anything. As far as some liberals are concerned, there is no such thing as honest disagreement over policy. No, if you disagree with the messiah, you hate black people.
That’s how the tea party protestors are caricatured. There have been at least four recent columns, all in major newspapers including the New York Times and Washington Post, that have accused tea partiers of racism. Never mind that they think President Obama is spending us into the poor house. That’s just a cover to mask their bigotry – or so the narrative goes.
And if your name is Newt Gingrich and you have an eye on the White House, and you try to score political points by accusing the president of spending time playing ball when he should be working on jobs, then you’re something akin to a racist, too — at least according to the ever-vigilant Norah O’Donnell.
Liberals are doing the nation a lot of harm with their promiscuous slurs. A lot of Americans are starting to think that yelling “Racist” is just a way to shut up the opposition. And they’re getting tired of it. Besides, you can cry wolf just so many times before people stop listening altogether. Something to think about, Norah.
Hello, Neat post. There is a problem with your website in internet explorer, may check this? IE still is the market chief and a large section of people will omit your fantastic writing because of this problem.
I’ve never really Thought Bernard Goldberg, or Norah O’Donnell were anywhere near a towering intellects, and both continues to validate that assessment on a regular basis.
The one thing that has had me inthralled, beginning with Reagan, is the steady decline of adult thought and leadership within the Republican Party.
I had assumed that once George W. Bush and his administration of “Mean Widdle Kids” had left office, we would see a correction take place with a corresponding resurgence of adult behavior.
I was wrong.
We are even more infantile, and ignorant, than just two years ago.
This could not be more evident than in this piece by O’Donnell and in the comments that follow.
Indeed, this is a party of Dolts misrepresenting themselves as Republicans!
If anyone has doubts about Obama’s lack of experience, class, or common sense – as soon as he opens his mouth, all doubt is eliminated. Here’s what your “Oh so wonderful” Messiah has done…so far.
1. Spent thousands of dollars on “Date Night”
2. Allowed Air Force One to fly over downtown Manhattan
3. Created positions for radical “Czars” who report directly to him
4. Doubled the national debt in ONE year and plans to double that in 10 years
5. Made fun of Special Olympics
6. Gave Gordon Brown a set of DVDs – incorrectly formatted – and models of Air Force One to the children
7. Gave the Queen of England an iPod with a video of her visit to the US in 2007
8. Bowed to just about every head of foreign countries (and apologized for the US being a great country)
9. Has a staff of assorted tax cheats who ‘forget’ to pay their taxes…for several years
10. Made emergency flight to Denmark to make case for Olympics to be held in Chicago
11. Claims he’s visited 57 states
12. “Cinco de Cuatro”
13. The “Austrian language”
14. Pennsylvania citizens are “bitter and cling to their guns or religion”
15. Obama’s uncle “was part of the first American troops to go into Auschwitz’.
16. Fort Hood shooting tragedy: Offered a “shout-out” to “Dr. Joe Medicine Crow — that Congressional Medal of Honor winner.”
17. Corpsmen = corpse-men
18. “We find unity in our incredible diversity, drawing on the promise enshrined in our Constitution: the notion that we are all created equal….” (Seriously, the Constitution??)
Do I really need to continue?? Give me Bernie any day. He’s an eloquent speaker who really knows about this country, and of what he speaks. Just the facts, man, just the facts.
Good stuff ccnv, and i can think of plenty more .
The look on O’Donnell’s face after no one on the panel supported her ridiculous assertion of racism was priceless. After a few moments the black racist on the panel chimed in but only after Norah was drowning.
I am so sick of this race card crap being played at every whim that suggest white people pick on him because he is black! The biggest is the fact that he is bi-racial, he has a black daddy and a white momma and was raised by his white grand parents. Just because his black genes make up more of his white genes which favors black characteristics, the media and people tag him as the first black president…which he really isn’t. So the door is still open for America to elect a “pure” black president! Personally, I do not care if he has a good jump shot and interviewing him while playing basketball was lame, but another slobbering love afair shown on TV. Any excuse to get more face time on TV, he will agree to.
I wonder if Ms. O’donnell will stick up for Toby Gerhardt, the white running back who is told he will not be a high consideration in the NFL draft because he is a white athlete! Hypocrisy is running wild in the media!
You got it right Lewis28, I agree completly
Ms. O’Donnell and Mr. Capehart are the ones making the racist remarks… They are the ones who generalized that all blacks are good athletes. While trying to pin the title on Newt, they only implicated themselves and showed themselves to be the true culprits.
Great deduction puckerupAmerica, all liberals think evrythings about Race.
Miss O.Donald comes across as a typical low I.Q. liberal shooting from the lip. It’s like saying that Blacks can’t swim.
Hey, I’m fed up with his white half too……………
The simple fact is that shooting 3 pointers and televising your women’s NCAA basketball bracket are no where in the President’s job description. It has nothing to do with race.
Incidentally, I’ve met many black people that are not good athletes.
O’Donald needed to look smart for the day, so she brings up race. U know how boring this is…With all the laws today minority’s have more today than any time in American history,but even obama is trying to change what they have worked so hard for they can start to spread it around more and they will find he ‘s taking it from them as well.. can’t say anything and it get’s taken out of context, she must fell very confident in her job to bring up a subject about two men having a conversation,that had nothing to do with women..O SORRY..THAT SEXES..ISN’T IT..BACK TO A O’DONALD..PLEASE HELP US CORRECT THIS TYPE OF THING..FIND A REAL SUBJECT TO INVESTIGATE..LIKE THE WATER BEING TAKEN FROM THE PEOPLE OF HURON CALF,,,REAL REPORTING DUUUA..
I thought we had a black person on the Supreme Court – Clarence Thomas. Listen to Al Sharpton and guest on his radio show:
http://www.breitbart.tv/al-sharpton-guest-talk-clarence-thomas-atrocious-appointment-for-the-black-community/
Hey Bernie: After living on to 70, I due belive I may be a racist, and but of course a,m all white. Now I see all of these MSM types always saying that this person or that person is a racist. Could it be that they are the true racist, and so they think everbody else is one also, and if white more so. ,Now I think there may be some black racist, but who am to say so.
It’s called projection.
Re: BHO a Lecturer NOT a Constitution “Professor”
According to the University of Chicago’s Law School BHO was referred by the Mayor’s Office (a/k/a Jarrett) that BHO be given a position at the law school to build his resume. The Law School determined that BHO did not qualify as an Adjunct Professor as he had no experience and though he was on the “Harvard Law Review” he never reviewed a case.
In order to keep the Mayor’s Office and one of their large contributors happy they gave BHO the title of “Senior Lecturer”. There isn’t any record that he ever lectured on “Constitutional Law” and in fact he has not shown any exceptionalism in knowledge or experience in “Constitutional Law”. Furthermore, which has been documented, he refuses to make available his college record.
I suggest you check with the University of Chicago’ Law School in writing to substantiate Obama’s claims.
If you find my contentions (that have been verified) I would like you to tell your public and your fellow commentators, especially at Fox, who continue to allow Obama surrogates and the chattering class to perpetuate the lie that Obama was ever a “professor”.
Thank you.
Bernie, you were right on last night as usual. Nora O’Donnell is a complete idiot. Her ilk must be always waiting for a conservative to slip up so they can yell “Ah hah-Racism!”. She was obviously trigger happy and should apologize but never will. Pathetic.
It’s really disgusting that many in the media cheapen the accusation of racism and therefore make it much harder for anyone with a legitimate claim of racism. Norah O’Donnell is an opportunist looking for acceptance in the lefty club and invites to all the right cocktail parties. Maybe even a state dinner at the White House! Shallow, empty and terribly damaging to the country. Thanks to Bernie and Bill O’Reilly for calling these people out. Here’s one last thought: What happens when we have a black President (male or female) who is on the Right, a conservative? What will Ms. O’Donnell and her ilk at MSNBC have to say about racism then? Whatever is necessary to keep the cocktail party invites coming, I guess!
Don’t for a moment believe they are “idiots”. They are prompted, scripted and paid for by GE, provider of services and goods the Left loves especially political contribution, who has a greedy agenda as their business model has collapsed.
What is unbelievable is that members of the media could be so short-sighted for their own greed and support of higher taxes and Socialized Medicine which they. their children and descendants will ultimately be forced to pay for without any benefit. Do the think they will be immune from the disaster? When Soros and his gang of tyrants get their One World Government and One World Currency the media Left will be discarded like old sneakers; no longer needed!
I equate the media with drug addicts and politicians; they live off of short fixes and don’t believe there will be a day of reckoning while they still live. That is a definition of irresponsibility and greed. Racism like sexism has been used as a club to stop dissent from collectivism.
Kathie, Will Bernie ever call out O’Reilly about having no remorse over the murder of Dr Tiller? And will O’Reilly care to apply his “word-class research staff” [a part-time unpaid intern] to investigate the Catholic Church. Don’t worry, it ain’t gonna happen!
Hey Bernie
Nora’s not just a liberal dolt making yet another “observation” of racism in the commentary of a conservative. She is just another LAZY “journalist” making an easy and acceptable assessment of a statement using history,conjecture and antiquated stereotypes as reference. Real journalism takes more objectivity and effort than the lamestream media buffoons care to expend. They’re basically a new breed of socially segregated ignorant elitists all agreeing with each other. They are USELESS, just USELESS!!! Thanks, Bernie for your clarity and vigilance.
Mr. Goldberg, I am a liberal and have been a fan of yours for years. I found your book ” BIAS” to be right on point and accurate. As a liberal I can without hesitation and readily acknowledge that the NY Times, NPR and most mainstream news outlet are liberal. That is just a fact.
My hope was that your book would encourage more journalist honesty and forced and shamed news outlet, like in Europe,to become open and honest about their political leanings and biases. Honesty should be the standard.
I like both FOX NEWS and NY Times, I don’t like the fact that they constantly lie about their biases. I was hoping you and your book would lead that charge and force some change. Unfortunately, I think you have now become part of the problem. It is very sad because you are so articulate about these issues.
Your appearance tonight on the FACTOR was one of the most hypocritical and dishonest presentation I have ever seen. Frankly, it was laughable.
As you know, last July Glenn Beck called the sitting President of the United States a ” racist with a deep-seated hatred for White People and White Culture.” This is a statement made about a bi-racial president who has a White mother and was raised by his White Grandmother. By any standard, this is an outrageous statement, hateful, and ridiculous.
As of today, Glenn Beck has never apologized for those comments and Fox News has never confronted Beck with his statements. Fox News strategy has been to ignore the comments and pretend like they never happened. I must say, that strategy has worked.
So today you and Bill have an serious and deep conversation about this topic and never mention what was said by Beck. So today you and Bill talk about shining a light on this type of conduct and never mention anything about Beck. This is shameful and an act of World Class Hypocrisy.
You well know what Norah O’Donnell said about Newt pales in comparison to what Beck said about Obama. Ironically, at the end of the show Bill advertised his upcoming tour with Beck. What a joke! Objectivity has finally died in America.
Dear Sam,
I am not a fan of Glen Beck, I find him to be amusing but tedious. However, his remarks critical of Barack Obama I find to be entirely pertinent and even necessary in order to understand this mixed race President of the United States. Barack Obama is certainly a racist since he is by all accounts extremely anti Semitic, his bigotry and hatred of Jews something he probably picked up during his “Moslem” upbringing in Indonesia, and from his Left wing mother and her Christian mother, who helped to raise him. I would point out, if this is really necessary, that Barack Obama sat for twenty years in the church of Reverend Jeremiah Wright, an outspoken and unabashed anti Semite of the most vicious kind whose vile and disgusting views on America, Israel, and the Jewish People are well known to almost everyone, and must have been known to Barack Obama, the most intelligent and aware human being in the history of the universe from all accounts. If any further proof of Obama’s feral bigotry is needed, just look at the deliberate and public manner in which he debased and humiliated the Prime Minister of Israel.
As for Obama’s views on White Americans, I can recall how he reacted to the arrest of of one his Black friends by the police for suspicious behavior by playing the race card immediately.
Yes you will say but look some of Obama’s top advisors are Jews too, so there!
Sam these Jews are apparatchiks of the Democratic Party, Jewish by accident of birth, but still pretty powerful apparatchiks as well. Obama, being the most intelligent and articulate human being in the history of the universe, probably recognizes and values their political worth but also because Obama believes that being Jews they are cunning, clever, duplicitous, treacherous, and loyal to him so long as he is in power, But Obama mainly keeps them on not just because he can use them, but because the Democratic Party would explode if he replaced them.
But don’t kid yourself or delude yourself Sam, Barack Hussein Obama is a Black racist who hates White Americans and and anti Semite whose bitter hostility towards the Jewish State of Israel, the only loyal and reliable American ally in the Middle East, becomes more and more obvious with every passing day while at the same time his love and appreciation of the Moslem world, which despises and loathes him and America, knows no bounds.
The Anti Semite Card. Don’t Leave Home Without It!
’nuff said!
It’s the card you keep playing, Wil, so you know “what of” you speak.
What can I say? It walks like a duck, it quacks like a duck, it even swims like a duck, I suppose it must be a fish?
Look I don’t mind Obama being a Black racist and Jew hater, it is his business if he loathes Whites and Jews, and more power to him. I do however take issue when these racist feelings determine his foreign and domestic policy.
I’m with Ken. The years at Trinity, the incident with Professor Gates, his association with Edward Said and Rashid Kalil (sic), his ‘typical white person’ slur against his grandmother, bowing to arabs and orientals, alienating England and many more.
We are judged by the company we keep. How can he not be influenced by the above people?
As Charles Krauthammer notes: Don’t listen to what Obama says; watch what he does. As Ken and Ron have noted, Obama’s actions tell you everything you need to know about him.
I have great faith that the November 2010 midterms will turn things around in Congress. Hopefully, Obama will be defeated soundly in 2012. If things are this bad with Obama having one eye on being reelected on 2012, think of how bad things will get if he’s got nothing to lose during a second (and final) term in office.
The comment by Beck and O’Donnell are apples and oranges. The comment by Beck needs no narrative assistance or translation. He said what he said clearly. The comment from O’Donnell however is much different. She decided to take the criticism by Gingrich of Obama and state that it was racial. Any logical person who heard Newt’s comments in their entirety knows this not to be true. Bernie’s article I believe correctly pointed out this injustice.
If you guys think these two comments are equal, there is truly no hope for this country.
Beck called a man who is half white ” a racist with deep-seated hatred for White people and White Culture.” That means that Obama has deep-seated hatred for his own Mother and Grandmother and Grandfather. That means that the first bi-racial President in the Unites States has been labeled a racist by Beck. Hard for me to think that Bernie is comfortable with this statement and conclusion by Beck.
By the way, Beck used the term “White Culture.” Maybe someone can explain to me what he meant by that? This is a term generally used by White Supremacists. When Beck was ask by CBS News what he meant by ” White Culture” he refused to answer the question, an deemed it “sound bite” Journalism. It was a legitimate question which deserved a legitimate answer.
Both Beck and O’Donnell are wrong. But now in this country Objectivity is dead and BIAS rules the nation.
In here people are content and satisfy that calling Obama a racist is just and well deserved. These are the same people who for much less were comfortable crucifying the Dixie Chicks for comments about Bush.
I cant wait for a Third Party in this country full of objective, honest and reasonable people.
God Help us all.
Read his autobiography. He discusses his disdain for white men. I don’t think he still feels that way, but he wrote about it. Those who are critical aren’t far off.
Please spare us, Sam Perez.
Approximately 90% of all blacks in America have white ancestry in their blood.
In addition, nearly 10% of all whites in America have black ancestry in their blood.
What’s more, anthropologists are convinced that Man’s origin as a species began in Africa…the so-called “dark continent”.
Like it or not, all humans are “mutts”…racial purity is a myth.
Barack Obama wasn’t the first “bi-racial” US president.
That “honor” goes to George Washington.
John Adams was the second “bi-racial” US president. Thomas Jefferson was the third…
Need I continue….or do you get the message?
Since you claim to be all knowledgeable and astute, Sam Perez, would you care to remind us how Obama described himself on his census form?
Was it “Mixed Race”?
Was it “Other”?
Or was it “Black”?
Yet I don’t see you getting all “wee-wee’d up” about this particular example of “deep-seated, white hating, self-loathing” by our president.
As for you asking for the definition of the term “white culture”…I’ll take the bait.
“White Culture” is anything in American culture that, whenever a black man does it, would result in being called an “Oreo” or an “Uncle Tom” by people like you…
…people who are grotesquely fixated on the color of a person’s skin as opposed to the content of their character.
It’s not all that uncommon that people will feel animosity toward the people who raised them…or parents who deserted them.
MSNBC like Norah O’Donnel should be fired for stiring up the flames of race hatred.
We know she will not and MSNBC will not be either…
SAD,SAD,SAD
“Besides, you can cry wolf just so many times before people stop listening altogether.”
There is the explanation of their falling ratings.
Where is the slur? I guess you have to be drinking the Kool-Aide to understand. Only the far left, such as yourself, are too blind to see this.
Newt is just being honest and accurate. Obama Is governing from the looney fringe.
Bernie, Newt Gingrich, also called Barack Obama on Thursday “the most radical president in American history” who oversees a “secular socialist machine.”oversees a “secular, socialist machine.” Is Newt doing the nation a lot of harm with his promiscuous slurs?
You’re really reaching here, troll.
Fail.
It sounds pretty mild to me.
Fact – Obama is the most radical president in history. Ok, it is my opinion, but the evidence is still overwhelming. What part of Marxism do you not understand? Obama perjured himself when he swore to uphold the constitution of the United States. The so called “slurs” are legitimate criticisms. Liberals, please notice that his race has absolutely no bearing on my criticism of him. I just hope our country can recover from the damage he is causing. Newt just has a grasp of the obvious. Those that think Obama’s policies are great, please get out your checkbooks and send him your money since you care so much. I am not completely conservative since I do support abortion if the fetus is liberal.
Do you care to show us where I said Bernie has cried “Anti-Semitic” or would you like to retract the bogus statement?
In what way, if possible, can you criticize the president with out being deemed a racist?
Simon, To criticize our president while we are at war is unpatriotic!
Wil, fomenting religious and racial hatred at ANY time–like you do on this page–is unpatriotic.
Well, well. Isn’t that like the pot calling the kettle black??
Depends on who’s calling whom what.
Sorry, Jack. I was responding to Wil’s comment. Looks like you got your comment in a couple minutes before I did.
I was making a point about Wil saying it’s unpatriotic to criticize a president while we are at war. I remember all the horrible things Liberals said, and the horrible things they did to GW’s likeness…seems to be a double standard with this president – thus, my comment.
Thank you for your post, CCNV. The Web often is a tricky place, precisely for the reasons you mentioned.
You’re absolutely on point about Wil’s posts and his behavior, and the double standard in general. I appreciate your commentary.
So, it’s true. It only works when it favors you. It must be nice to be a liberal, where all things fall in your favor, no matter what.
“A lot of Americans are starting to think that yelling “Racist” is just a way to shut up the opposition. And they’re getting tired of it. Besides, you can cry wolf just so many times before people stop listening altogether.”
Bernie, would you say yelling “anti-Semitic” is also, just a way to shut up the opposition. Hmm?
When does Bernies do that? You can’t find anything, because he doesn’t!
Hi Dad!
EXCELLENT NEWS!
Remember how that money you embezzled from Aunt Sadie went from a criminal complaint to a loan? Well, the good news is that it’s changed again: from a loan to an outright gift. So you don’t have to repay the money you stole from her AND you no longer have a police record.
By the way, mom wants to know which credit card you want her to use to renew your membership in the Republican Committee of Allegheny County. Do you want her to use the Visa or the MasterCard account?
We all send our love and hope that you come home soon so that Dr. Rabinowitz can work with you on your psychotic break. (He still has all of your records)
In the meantime, we’re praying for you!
Love,
Your Son (of Wil Burns)
P.S.–Dad, the dropping of charges refers only to the theft/embezzlement of that money from Aunt Sadie. Will keep you updated on the progress of the other criminal complaints, if we have any luck with them. Sorry for the confusion!
Hi Bernie, Maybe, I am your father, but I will never admit it!
Dr. Rabinowitz can help you with your delusions, Dad. “ET” phone home! (“ET” is code for you, Dad.)
Do you care to show us where Bernie has cried “Anti-Semitic”, or would you like to retract your bogus statement?
Do you care to show us where I said Bernie has cried “Anti-Semitic”, or would you like to retract your bogus statement?
Dad, “mirror posting” is symptomatic of your disease. Let us help you!
Bernie, would you say yelling “anti-Semitic” is also, just a way to shut up the opposition. Hmm?
You know what you were implying. Don’t be coy.
“Bernie, would you say yelling “anti-Semitic” is also, just a way to shut up the opposition. Hmm?”
Sadly no.
Most of the anti-Semitic Lefties I’ve met actually take great pride in their hatred of Jews.
Can’t shut ‘em up by calling them something that makes them smile, y’know?
“All black people are good athletes”? … Who knew! LOL!
Didn’t liberals criticize Bush for playing golf? And if you saw Obama throw out that first pitch ,nobody will ever accuse him of being a natural athlete.
Bush atleast threw a strike.
Obama throws like a little girl.
I apologize to any little girls offended by that remark.
I’ve heard President Obama is terrible at basketball, for what it’s worth.
Better watch out Bernie…you used the word “tarred”. Never know what that will get you.
I’m worried about what’s going to happen if somebody on the Right makes the unfortunate mistake of criticizing Obama for “tap-dancing” around a particular topic.
X, Grow up!
Wil, WAKE UP!
Luke 6:42 “Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take out the speck that is in your eye,’ when you yourself do not see the log that is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck that is in your brother’s eye.
Matthew 7:4 “Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ and behold, the log is in your own eye?
Who says we can’t laugh at the news these days?
Keep the hits coming, Bernie.
This is a really good blog.
MSNBC and its liberal Democrat hosts and correspondents have the same mentality and same interests. There is uber-lib Keith Olbermann, who is just about the biggest hater on any cable network, and his usual panel of liberal guests who sit in a circle and accuse Republicans and Tea Party folks of racism at any opportunity. Maybe that’s why Keith’s audience is just enough to fill an average Starbuck.
Chris Matthews is probably the most dishonest of the lot since he regularly makes statements that contradict earlier statements he has made and he also, like Herr Olbermann, tries to paint conservatives as racist. The story about Norah O’Donnell is just more of the same from another MSNBC liberal. These folks will attack anyone as a racist if they question anything Obama does. They are in love with Obama and his leftist goals.
Chris Matthews is honest. At least he said that he would do ANYTHING he could to help the president.
Is anybody watching MSNBC these days?
Apparently Bernie does
MSNBC should send Bernie a thank you, along with the other four viewers.
During an appearence on The Factor this past winter Bernie stated that “with all due respect” The President needed to grow thicker skin when it comes to any critical remarks of his work. It seems that this also applies to the The Presidents strongest supporters in the Lamestream media who are also very thin skinned and instantly throw the race card in the discussion. At least they are predictable.
I always thought that those shows were just scripted, and it was Norah’s turn to be a dolt. Maybe not.
Good one, Woody.
I can’t actually believe she’d utter something so stupid. Just kidding. Hey Bernie, they’re desperate. Their president is tanking fast and there’s little hope for a recovery in his approval ratings. Just imagine the poll numbers when we start paying higher taxes for a benefit (their words) we won’t see for four years. Desperate times require desperate measures on their part.
Dow 11,000! Up 38% since Obama took office. Business Week is right, Obama’s plan is working.
WROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know economics isn’t your strong suite Wil, so I’ll clue you in on something. A) The volume of trades is at a record low and B) The only reason stock prices are rising is because employers are paying less in wages which in turn leaves more money. Unemployment is out of control and people are desperate. The stock market being as high as it is with unemployment as high as it is combined with low interest rates (particularly the federal funds rate) is just a scary scary thing.
Good news seems to upset you people. Why is that?
It’s not good news. Get a clue! The economy is still in the tank, and it’s not getting better. Unemployment is rising every month, consumer confidence is down every month, and interest rates are still at record lows. Why can’t you accept this?
Stephen,
Wil is trolling again.
Don’t feed into his narcissism.
He won’t accept the facts no matter how much you “dumb it down” for him.
All he wants to do is upset you.
personal income down 3.2%
“because all black people are good athletes.” Yeah like that in itself isn’t racist! Good catch as always, Bernie. God bless you for having to troll the lamestream media so that so many of us do not have to.
