I certainly didn't see that coming.

Fred was a man of the people last night.  I didn't see him playing running dog lackey for anybody. 

I ♣ My Seal

None of them ever said a word about HRC's "knight in shining armor," the now-withdrawn suck-up Bill Richardson, but now they go after Thompson?

What on earth makes them think that Fred Thompson is sucking up to McCain and doing his dirty work for him? He couldn't have been criticizing Huckabee for himself?

They have no reason to think that Thompson is in this for anyone but himself and yet they go this route? Are they that desperate for material to beat someone up with?

And as for "reading his speech," he referred to notes. Beats the hell out of Her Royal Clintoness flailing around with "you know" after every fourth word while she gathers her thoughts.

I see two lap dogs and thier names are Geist and Brzezinki. It almost seems their like they are salivating waiting for the lead dog to finish his attack so they can pick up some scraps. Pathetic.
This show can't even be pretending that they deliver news in any format with this type of dialogue. They could have gotten this type of analysis from dog and the neighbors cat.
P.S. Not sold on Fred but liked his white papers and the fact that he is the only one to stand up to the media.

I watched the entire debate and Joe's comments are pathetic. He is coming close to Keith O. in being the Loser for the Year! Fred Thompson easily won that debate and the loser Joe can't stand it.

Seems to me that Mr. Scarborough has become the Chris Matthews of the morning shift. I am not surprised that this RINO is attacking Fred. I am a little surprised that he seems to be a "lap dog" for McCain.

His time at MSNBC is slowly and inexoriably pulling him toward the dark side (liberal). Huckabee is a RINO and a moderate. Fred makes that abundantly clear and now the MSM doesn't like that. I'm supposed to be suprized?

The day that "politician" became a career choice is the day we started losing the Republic. Let's get it back! Alan Keyes '08.

How can 'Conservatives' in NH and IO possible vote for Huck when the only thing that might be useful is the fact that he's an Evangelical. BFD. Oh wait... those were liberal states. Hey Huck! Get ready to drop like a ROCK! heh heh

I think there should be a factcheck run on Fred attacks on Huckabee. I'm sure someone will do it. He was very loose with the facts, and I agree that was a good strategy on the part of Fred to do it because it sticks in the minds of voters. It's pretty shameful, regardless.

Want to know who won the Republican Debate ?  Wait for the Attack Dogs of MSM to point to Him.

When you become predictable, you're no longer entertaining.....and besides entertainment, why would you be watching MSNBC ?   There's only ONE fact they can deliver...the Winner of the Debates IS.......anyone called a Lapdog by MSNBC. 

The liberals in the MSM has to look out for their trojan horse (Huckabee). He's their backup plan for the election in case Hillary or Obama don't win. With Huckabee, they still get a liberal.

Thompson scared them last night as it appeared that he was taking the gloves off which is exactly what conservatives have been waiting for. The fact is that Huckabee didn't rebut anything that Thompson said. He just went into his customary rhetorical rant about his record as Govenor and didn't address a single issue that Fred mentioned.

...but I am getting tired of Huckabee's constant attempts at humor.  You're running for Commander in Chief there Governor, not Comedian in Chief.

I'm with Fred.

To me, I think the media wants people like Fred Thompson, John McCain, and Romney out of the running. They support Huckabee because they know he can be beaten by any of the top three democratic candidates. Huckabee is taking it hook, line, and sinker....probably thinking that he really CAN win the debates against Hillary or Obama.

Huckabee repeats the same lines, and he says them so that you can tell he is regurgitating his notes. You have to be able to think on your feet. Romney thinks on his feet the best, but he has a shifty past of leaning toward liberal. He seems sincere now, but there really is no way to tell what he's saying just to get elected. McCain says some of the same catch phrases like "They call me the Sheriff" or Anbar Province this and that. Even though he can think on his feet, he spouts too much rhetoric first, so it begins to annoy people.

Fred Thompson showed last night that he could think on his feet, albeit people were somewhat upset about the tardiness of it. He's really not late. We are coming up to the first Southern primary, which is where conservatives pick up steam. In past elections, the candidates are usually behind until right before the Feb 5th primaries happen. I think he is lining stuff up right.

Joe Scarborough is about as relevant as the dandelions growing in my lawn. They are an annoyance and I can't seem to get rid of them. I think that the medias dislike of Fred Thompson, and this includes Fox, has more to do with Freds disdain of the press. Remember the big hubub when Fred ditched the debate and appeared on Leno instead? How many more million viewers did Fred get than all the candidates who appeared on that way too eary debate.

Fred isn't playing by the rules that the Media have come up with to run OUR political process. I do not care what the media thinks and frankly it is no ones beeswax but my own what I think. The only thing I am interested in right now is what the candidates think, and all the media is giving very little to none of that. Instead we have repeated stories adnauseum about the standing in the polls, who has the most money, who looked better, who read from his speech. It is all style over substance. If Abraham Lincoln were alive and running today all the media would be trashing him for his looks and not a one of them would listen to him.
