This was so funny, I had to watch it over and over. Mika was killing me.
JOE SCARBOROUGH: ...I think it helps us all to say there are extreme voices on the left, there are extreme voices on the right, and it's our responsibility to call out people, I believe, on our side.JOAN WALSH: Who would you have me call out? I mean who would you say on the left is comparable to Rush and...
SCARBOROUGH: Don't do it.
MIKA BREZEZINSKI: Mmm-mmm! No thanks, Joan. We're good. We're good.
SCARBOROUGH: Can we talk about the Chinese now?
MIKA: I think it's all very obvious.
WALSH: Is it obvious? Who on the left is comparable to Rush and Glenn on the right?
You would think, as a regular guest on MSNBC, Joan could have thought of at least one name... like, maybe herself.
H/T
I kind of have to agree that there is no Liberal Rush. The unhinged haters at MSNBC - Olbermann, Shultz, O'Donnell, Ratigan, Shuster (oops, he was fired), are just unhinged haters who scream because they are incapable of holding intelligent debate. I wouldn't put Rush in that category. Tingles is perhaps the closest they have to Rush. Maddow is just an intolerable partisan snarker.
But, when Walsh says:
"I asked him whom he thought I should denounce, because I don't think there's anyone on the left as consistently cruel, divisive and wrong as Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck."
It's obvious she is delusional.
She can't even explain her *lack of bias* without taking a crack at Sarah Palin...No one thought it was a moment of *ditz*, Ms. Walsh. It was a moment of full blown, flat out biased bullshit.

Joan is such a tool.
ReplyDeleteI love the reaction of the guy in the control room. He looks like he's about to have a nervous breakdown after Mika and Joe tried desperately to stop the names of MSNBC's Ogremann and Schultz from coming up, both of whom are the biggest hate mongers in TV.
From Ogremann on Scott Brown:
"In short, in Scott Brown we have an irresponsible, homophobic, racist, reactionary, ex-nude model, teabagging supporter of violence against woman and against politicians with whom he disagrees..."
Ogremann on Michelle Malkin:
"...Michelle Malkin would just be a big mashed-up bag of meat with lipstick on it."
While I don't listen to Rush regularly, I've never heard him or Beck say anythig that comes remotely close to Ogremann's vile commentary. But Joan tries to pretend what Rush and Beck say are worse. -- SCOTT
Scott - I am with you 110%.
ReplyDeleteHi, Sarah!
ReplyDeleteGreat thread!!
Unfortunately, I missed it this morning. So
glad you brought it up at NQ too.
If you don't mind, I have a request. There is
a blog called LAME CHERRY, maybe you are acquainted with it. S(he) can at times be a 'bit odd', but s(he) has great insight.
There is a current post of his that I think you
could use for an article. You would really do
a wonderful job of it.
It's the second from the top:
