MSNBC Runs Viewer Tweet Urging Secret Service to Break Jan Brewer's Finger, 'Drop Her'

By Jack Coleman | January 28, 2012 | 20:21

A  A

Yet more evidence of pathologies that roil the liberal, uh, mind.

MSNBC, America's closest approximation yet to Pravda (though not for lacking of trying, New York Times), did something curious but characteristic Wednesday night during the hour-long hyperventilation known as "The Ed Show." (video after page break)

The show's namesake, Ed Schultz, was talking with Washington Post columnist E.J. Dionne, who benefits from his appearances with Schultz by looking sane by comparison.

Earlier in the program, Schultz could barely contain his anger over a photo showing Republican Gov. Jan Brewer pointing a finger toward President Obama's face and appearing to exchange words with him after the president's arrival in Arizona that day.

By the time Dionne came on the show, the subject matter was Obama's phone-it-in State of the Union address, but MSNBC provided an outlet for its viewers' venom toward Brewer by showing their Twitter tweets at the bottom of the screen. Presumably this entailed someone at MSNBC, maybe even more than one adult, screening the tweets before they were aired.

Here's a tweet that appeared while Schultz was talking with Dionne --

Next time Jan Brewer sticks her finger in President's face, the Secret Service should break it & drop her. #edshow #p2

The tweet came from a Twitter user named "chaplinlives" who resides in Massachusetts -- or as we happy few conservatives with domiciles here call it, the People's Republic of Taxachusetts. Consider yourself warned -- "chaplinlives" uses a photo of a lion for a Twitter avatar (No, not the one in "The Wizard of Oz"), so he or she is not to be trifled with.

Stephanie Miller, apparently following "chaplinlives" on Twitter, echoed the sentiment on her radio show as described by NewsBuster Tim Graham. If Brewer pointed her finger at Lyndon Johnson, Miller gushed, Johnson "would have broken that off and shoved it up your bleep."

Yes, the same LBJ once condemned by the left for killing babies in Vietnam now hailed as a model for inflicting pain on political opponents. And what a shock to learn last fall that Jackie Kennedy suspected Johnson of involvement in her husband's murder. Bone crusher, indeed.

It was just a few years ago that left wingers were in full lather over the specter of captured terrorists subjected to physical discomfort, their beauty sleep interrupted, constitutional right to satellite TV denied, all to prevent the slaughter of thousands -- more -- Americans. Such abuse of unrepentant jihadists was tantamount to war crimes, leftists alleged, while stamping their feet for show trials of Bush-era hooligans.

Now when a Republican governor is guilty of insufficient reverence toward Obama, liberals spew the type of bile you'd expect from a crime boss's lackeys after a few too many stingers.

Not that we should be surprised by this. Much the same impulse animated an earlier version of national socialism.

Liberals: Attacking our

Submitted by tcm14 on Sat, 01/28/2012 - 8:41pm.

Liberals: Attacking our aliies and appeasing our enemies for over 100 years now.

It should come as no surprise that Obama and his backers have showed an aggression towards an American governor that they would never show towards one of our enemies. After all, once any liberal gets into office he will immediately start attacking our citizens with oppressive regulation and taxation, while caving in to foreign governments that would like to see us dead. Heck, he even goes on TV and calls Americans lazy, when he would never dare say boo to the Iranians, Russians, Chinese, etc. If Jan Brewer had been the Taliban leader, Obama would have bowed to her when she pointed her finger, but she is an American, so the left attacks.

...from Congress. You would think MSNBC would at least follow their template of fake righteousness and act like civility is of massive importance to them and for the sake of the nation, for at least, oh I don't know, 4-5 days. You know, same pretending they all did when she was shot.

An example of the Obama Codicil on The Law of Patriotic Disent

Submitted by Rhymes With Right on Sat, 01/28/2012 - 9:55pm.

Dissent is the highest form of patriotism -- unless it is directed at Obama, in which case it is not merely treasonous, but the most odious form of racism as well.

These are the same people that applauded the President of Mexico attacking one of our States. That's all we need to know. They should thank their fragile sensibilities they are only facing 'incivility'..a noose and the nearest tree would be more appropriate.

We have a Congress whose members qualify for treason charges, and a President who not only qualifies for same but is most likely not qualified to legally be President...and the 'bad guy' here is a Governor that wants to enforce the Nations laws. Welcome to Bizarro world.

And gloves..we don't want to get tar and feathers on our hands. I'm being snarky here, but I have really just had enough of the lawlessness and impunity of our elected officials..the People need to rise up and take them to task. Look at Bawney Fwank, for one example, he's gonna retire in comfort when he should be on trial for throwing the US economy off a cliff. I'd start it, but I'd look silly standing there by myself and I don't have a law degree.

Wonder from which "occupy" rat-infested refugee camp that originated from?

 

And what a shock to learn last fall that Jackie Kennedy suspected Johnson of involvement in her husband's murder.

Speaking of "droppings"...(bird or otherwise)

Submitted by Pilgrim1949 on Mon, 01/30/2012 - 12:54pm.

I'm sure that this oh-so-self-righteous twit -- er, um, tweeter -- no doubt had a similar reaction to the drama-mama libtard who jumped up and confronted Condoleeza Rice a few years ago, wildly waving faux-blood-stained hands mere inches from her face. Now that was a confrontation truly earning a Secret Service mixed martial arts smack-down so fast that the protester wouldn't have known what happened.

My, my, my -- the hyperventilating case of the vapors that seems to have enveloped the fragile-ego self-appointed ruling effete class is almost amusing to behold. Not too far removed in emotional maturity comparison to the Terrible Twos tot's reaction to being told, "No."

 

"Ye canne change the laws of physics....." but some politicians believe that with the right legislation you can pretend they don't really apply to your own pet projects...
