Love him or Hate him.. Bayh said today on Morning Joe he did NOT

[Peacetrain]

bash the left bloggers. That, that was a made up statement.

I do not know about you, but I am bone tired of this, the half statements or pure falsifications that gets people riled up.. and then 2 or 3 days later after 24/7 raving, the said same medias or political sites will do a teeny tiny retraction at best..

Probably one that will never be seen.

1. Me too. Sick of it. Especially Joe pulling b.s. out of his

rear to wind up everyone. It's all lies and I guess my major complaint is there aren't too many supporters out there making the rounds to refute this or to be on the offensive. :-(

2. Nothing I hate more than chain yanking ...

I mean I want only facts.. not someones fabrications. And we seem to be getting that all the time. It has gotten to the point, I believe almost nothing when an initial story breaks.. especially if it has the kind of rhetoric behind it to try and get people juiced. I just want straight fact checked news..

3. MJ was still putting up that quote from an aide or friend or whatever of Bayh's

even after his appearance and disavowal of its sentiments toward "left bloggers."

I don't know what to think. Part of me suspects that the reason the author of those words is anonymous is to get a dig in to "left bloggers" while Bayh himself gazes into the camera and disavows it, looking "statesmanlike." He's got it both ways...

6. Won't work here in Indiana.

4. If he is talking about what I think he is, then yes-- I call bullshite

If it is this, at the meeting the President had with Senators, the last part of Bayh's question:

Now, to your credit, you've called for some things that aren't always popular in our party. The first thing I noticed when you put into effect that non-security discretionary spending freeze is you got kicked in the shins by some of the left-wing blogs. And you called for more restraint on earmarks. That's not always popular among our group, but to your credit, you've called for those things.

So my question to you, Mr. President, is speaking to independents, conservative Democrats, moderate Republicans -- people who know we have to do this -- why should the Democratic Party be trusted? And are we willing to make some of the tough decisions to actually head this country in a better direction?

I still don't like what he said about trusting the Party. CuppamudJoe is making crap up.

7. Now I know why Bayh didn't give Obama a heads up on his retirement.

He was scared he get a whupping by the President.

5. Very well said

We're being jerked around like marionettes. Knowing that is half the battle. We're wising up.

[Peacetrain]

8. I hope so.. I really do hope we start holding them accountable

[Raineyb]

9. I don't care what Bayh says. I wouldn't believe him if he told me it was

snowing outside my window unless I looked out the bloody window to see for myself.

[harun]

10. Got that right.

[Raine]

11. He's nothing but a corporate stooge whether

he said it or not I'm sure it's his sentiments. x(

[depakid]

12. Part and parcel to the culture of lies in America

brought to you by media consolidation and deregulation.

AND- all of those here and elsewhere who support it.

[Bluenorthwest]

13. Did someone misquote a lousy politician? So what?

If Bayh said that water was wet, I'd have to double check. So if he said, or did not say, what's the difference. He's Conservajerk, good riddance.

14. Speaking of Morning Joe, I really enjoyed

Lawrence O'Donnell's appearance on Joe when he got tossed off for grilling that fellow on his accusations that President Obama was inviting another terrorist attack.
