2. Thanks for posting. He's absolutely right.

The corporate whores have been working overtime to cast Dems in the least favorable light while giving a pass to the whack jobs on the right. It's been that way for a very long time.

3. Cenk nails it

Most of the hate-filled bigotry is on the right.

The McCain-Palin rallies are breeding grounds for bigots.


And Joe Dead Intern is worried about Manhattan? :rofl:

15. what did you think about the video ?

[krkaufman]

14. Let's be honest, the most dickish thing said during this bit ...

... came from Willie Geist, when he asked one of the many pedestrians, "You don't want to put country first?"

Also, does anyone know if the hacks on MSNBC/Morning Joe have done a story on the lady from Grosse Pointe Farms who denied Halloween candy to children of Obama supporters? (YouTube)

Thanks to Cenk for venting on my behalf, yet again.

16. My post from 11/2/08 says how I feel about this.

An Open Letter To Mike Barnicle. Re: Comments About Hating The Left.


Recently on an episode of Morning Joe there was a segment were Willie Geist went to the Upper West Side of Manhattan to show how closed minded those people were. Willie Geist, wearing a McCain Palin shirt tried to talk to people about voting for McCain/Palin. None of the people were rude, no one shouted and the people there seemed to be much more polite than most people in a large city. Some even thanked Willie, but refused the shirt. Of course, then the panel came on to tell the audience what they really saw.

Willie, Joe, Mika and yourself commented on how disturbing it was that these people were unreceptive to hearing about McCain. It was supposed show, according to the four of you that these people were rude and pompous. I think it showed polite people and a rude and pompous panel. A lying, pretentious panel designed to dumb down the electorate and in the process show how fair and balanced they were. You even went so far as to say it was ‘right to loathe the left.’ Now, I don’t know if this comment was because of your own twisted version of reality, where you look for demons, and where none can be found, you create them. Or it was because you are a paid tool, on the television to create a sense of equality between the two political sides where none exists. This is one of those times where the media, this time you in particular, failed miserably at your chosen profession. Just like when the media pretends both sides of the global warming debate are equal, or the two sides of the evolution debate are equal, you pretended now that hating the left is okay, because they supposedly look down on the right. Where, like this segment, the media pretends that the hate on the left is equal to or worse than the hate on the right. That is pure un-adulterated bullshit. Their hate comes from untrue ideas, i.e., Iraq attacked us; or it comes from bigotry. Our side is rightly mad about torture, a million people dead in Iraq, loss of constitutional rights, people dieing from lack of healthcare and millions slipping into poverty. And those things are equal to you, Mike?

Really Mike? It’s okay to loathe the left? Have you seen the videos of the McCain/Palin rallies? Have you seen the videos of an Obama rally? Because the difference between the two lays out the difference between the sides quite nicely. Did you expect the people on the street to stop and ask, “Please tell us all you know about this McCain fella, and spare no details. I’ve never heard of him?” How would this have gone down in Dallas, Texas, with someone wearing an Obama shirt? There is good portion of the people there who believe Obama is a Muslim and are not afraid to say so.

You owe the left, your audience and journalists everywhere an apology.

18. Great letter n/t

[lib_wit_it]

19. Nice job. Needed to be said. Needs to be repeated, and repeated, and repeated...

There's a facebook group promoting the idea of Cenk getting his own cable show. Not sure at this point how else to support that idea, but hopefully it will become clear through the prograpevine.

17. Are the Secret Service going after those people who made death threats

in those videos?

One time when Bush was here, a guy I know went out and stood with some protesters across the street from where Bush was appearing. He just stood there and watched, but didn't see much. Two days later, 2 FBI agents came to his house wanting to know if he could identify the guy standing next to him holding a sign they took as a death threat against the president. No he didn't even know the guy and hadn't even seen the sign. But the FBI found him and questioned him for over an hour.

So will they be investigating those people at the Palin rallies who are on videotape threatening Obama?

20. Damn, I never saw those McCain hate clips before..and I'm online all the time!

You think the MSM would ever show those McCain hatefests? NEVER!
