I would not have been able to sit through half of that snarling, one-sided, hatchet job. They would have had to escort me out of the studio.

(By the way: I wonder what the meaning is of that shiny gold plus sign she displays on her chest?)

thing I have to give you props on--you never seem afraid to go into the Lion's Den and confront the RWNJ polemicists. I can't exactly say the same about people like Limbaugh or Palin, who haven't once appeared on any MSNBC primetime shows. If they are so confident in their ideas, then surely the least they could do is debate the other side. Even Rand Paul appeared once on Rachel Maddow. Instead, they both are content with lying about the FLOTUS's anti-obesity campaign, among other things.

Limbaugh cuts off callers, O'Reilley cuts the mike of anyone he disagrees with. If they go on other shows, they won't have that power to silence their interlocutor.

I was done, what a hack.

You pointed out that there were attacks under W but there was no outrage, so she changes the subject to Bill Clinton, the President who warned W that terrorism and Al-Qaeda will be his biggest threats during his presidency.

How much does this chick make a year?

Charles Krauthammer And The How Neocons Destroyed The GOP

February 18, 2013 by Christopher Manion

Pop Quiz: When is a Neocon Not A Neocon? Answer. When he’s wrong. Which is most of the time. And that irks Charles Krauthammer.

Dr. Krauthammer is an interesting character. For some thirty years he’s been a Washington fixture. Trained as a psychiatrist, he became a speechwriter for Vice President Walter Mondale. He then began to write for the Washington Post, feeling right at home, since, at the Post, all abnormal behaviors are deemed normal.

Mondale. The Post. Those two credits are similar to those of many other “former” liberals who have become neoconservatives over the years. But these days the Doctor Is In, and he’s pouting. Why? Well, just two years ago he was bragging: “Today, everyone and his cousin supports the ‘freedom agenda’. Of course, yesterday it was just George W. Bush, Tony Blair and a band of neocons with unusual hypnotic powers...”


http://www.westernjournalism.com/charles-krauthammer-and-the-how-neocons-destroyed-the-gop/

Here are a few of his own writings. Nice twists and turns, but never gives up on his neocon ways:

From Baghdad to Benghazi

By Charles Krauthammer
Friday, March 4, 2011

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2011/03/03/AR2011030304239.html

Here's a recent bit:

Disgrace of Zimmerman trial came after it ended


http://www.jewishworldreview.com/cols/krauthammer071913.php3

He had a promising start:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Krauthammer

Now he is often quoted on World Nut Daily and a Fox regular. He writes daily against Obama, liberals and progressives:

The Party Of Know

Putting a spotlight on “Progressives” and "Socialist" to stop the "Fundamental Transformation of America"!

The Party Of No in reality is "The Party Of Know"! We are a one stop news source for those that oppose Obama, Pelosi, Reid and the rest of the Progressive’s social agenda.

...I know that your passion for what you believe in and your talent EARNED you that spot on national television, and that you must be thrilled with the idea that this will give you and your blog (your voice) additional exposure to try to bring about the change you fight for every day.

But personally, I wish good guys like yourself, be they democrats, liberals or independents, would completely boycott Fox News.

I just don't see the point as in most cases you are only there to serve as the "liberal stooge". I'm sure your hope is that maybe you'll change a few minds, or that at least your forcing the bubble people to hear something from the reality-based world.

But I've been watching and studying right wing media and the modern conservative movement for many, many years, and I can tell you that sadly, your brief appearance will do neither. You may as well be preaching about women's rights to the Taliban. Nothing you say matters to the extremists who watch Fox News, nothing. You were written off as an anti-American socialist commie the INSTANT Laura announced you as a "liberal blogger".

Meanwhile, your appearance allows Fox and their catatonic viewership to make the claim they are fair and balanced, offering "opposing views".

I hope you don't take any of this the wrong way. I'm just of the opinion the propaganda mediums like Fox News should be minimalized and trivialized at all times, never treated as a venue that any respectable, intelligent person would dignify by actually appearing on their network.

This is probably never going to happen, but like I said, just my 2 cents. I don't get to talk to people actually on cable news very often.

By the way, you did a great job, very professional and articulate...and PATIENT!!!

Her screech is just about as bad as listening to Lipstick-on-a-pig Palin talk. Does she ever shut up and let a guest finish a sentence, or does she ALWAYS badger and interrupt every progressive that she invites to her propaganda hour?
Bill-o better hurry back, cause this skank is losing ratings in his absence. She is sad, really sad.

I certainly could not have done a better job. Kudos to you.

This is a hard topic considering all the think tank money being spent on it.

Why has the investigation taken this long? Why indeed! Why are our intelligence people giving false, call it as she does lying information, that is then put out on the news as the best information we had it the time - the protest of the movie.
