NewsBusters Attacks Janeane Garofalo, Cenk & Thom Hartmann (Says Left Is 'In Meltdown')
Newsbusters http://tinyurl.com/27naps3|went after Cenk> three times during the week he guest hosted the Dylan Ratigan show on MSNBC (Former CNN host Lou Dobbs also took a crack at Uygur and Ratigan calling them http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x8716866|"insane and inane">).

Well, the right wing site can't enough and they're back at it again this week http://newsbusters.org/blogs/brent-bozell/2010/07/13/bozell-column-obama-gipper|going after Cenk, Thom Hartmann and Janeane Garofalo>:

The Political Left is in a meltdown. There’s no way to sugarcoat the calamity. It is falling apart. It sees the tide has turned and a possible tsunami is building, ready to crest and explode in November, washing all their dreams away. How could this be happening to them?

Could it be that trillion dollar disaster otherwise know as the “stimulus,” that emergency measure needed to save the economy by creating millions of jobs except it’s accomplished absolutely nothing except putting our grandchildren yet another trillion dollars in debt? Or the auto company takeovers, something no one wanted and Congress never authorized as part of the TARP bailout fund? Or the appointment of one radical after another to nanny-state us all, including now the just recess-appointed Dr. Donald Berwick to oversee ObamaCare, a Marxist who proudly calls for the redistribution of wealth and who absolutely adores Britain’s onerous National Health Service, rationing and all? Or any one of a thousand other radical ventures proposed/discussed/enacted by this radical leftist regime?

...Thom Hartmann, one of the top munchkins along the Yellow Brick Road of Radioland, told his handful of listeners last week that it’s ludicrous that any conservative would conclude Obama’s a socialist.

...The dismay was even more grandiose on MSNBC last week, when the executives handed over “The Dylan Ratigan Show” to a man named Cenk Uygur, host of “The Young Turks” radio program.

...how does one describe Janeane Garofalo? As always, her nuttiness is in a league (institution?) of its own. On The Huffington Post, she groused of conservatives that “They own the media and they dominate the media and they dominate the conversation. But of course liberals are proud. They have everything to be proud of. But they just don't have much say. You know, they don't have networks and huge radio networks and megachurches and seats in Congress.”

Liberals don’t have the seats in Congress? Garofalo isn’t just wrong, she’s in meltdown.

1. Can the right do anything *but* project?
Don't answer -- it's only a rhetorical question...

5. As opposed to
recommending kids who get free lunches during the school year learn how to dumpster dive over the summer months?

strong arming congress to give TBTF banks 800B because Hanky Panky Paulson promised economic calamity if they didn't pay up.

apologies issued to corporate entities because someone suggested they should pay to clean up their own damn greed created, planet killing mess.

Hell, why don't they throw an egg at a bus going by and blame everybody else standing nearby. That's credible, ay?

I'll take Janeane, Cenk, and most especially cuz he's in my town, the gentleman and scholar Thom Hartmann is over the ring kissing rimnods these shills work for any time, tyvm.

13. Meltdown?
Did you catch the cat fight between Fixed Noise fem's?

Talk about your circular firing squads!? I think maybe they've got their knickers in a knot about the San Diego ACORN worker filing suit against the not so Brietbart brats.

Thanks and cheers to you too.

17. The discussion is about the Black Panther voter intimidation thing, from 08?
But I think they (Murdox manglers) are testy with each other all over the place. Ed Schultz had a clip of O'liely and Lady Ingram just snipping at each other like JYD's, with him asking her if she's a Beck wannabe, I thought these idiots were all one big happy Adamant family?

7. Who in the fuck are NewsBusters?
Never heard of them. If this is an example of their "news" I'm going to pretend that I still haven't heard of them.

9. It is no surprise that an organization that has never been able to make a coherent case
for any of their pet projects - will continue to sound like the petulant, sadistic, twelve year olds they are. They are part of a cult that has forsaken rationality and even forsaken what was considered common decency, just ten years ago.
These flat earthers advocate torture, are fine with trashing habeas corpus, and have yet to make even the most obvious prediction that comes true. And that is because their worldview is twisted and has no basis in reality.

They truly do have more in common with the Taliban than with any rational people.

11. You nailed it!
I'm sure they do not actually understand what kind of a country they are working toward. I guess if they are successful in transforming the nation they will end up horrified and their only recourse will be to blame the Democrats and Obama, lol.

14. I just enjoy how they never provide a well thought out argument opposing the content.
They just post the content and make sarcastic, dismissive remarks and insults.
