Russert Tells Dem Rep 'They Watch This at the White House, God Willing, So They’ll Get the Message'
Conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh said Tuesday, "NBC News is an annex of the Democrat National Committee, and it is posing as a news network."
Perfectly illustrating the point Thursday was MSNBC's Luke Russert who while substitute-hosting the Daily Rundown told Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur (D-Oh.) after she sang the praises of President Obama and asked him to campaign for her in her state, "They watch this at the White House, God willing, so they’ll get the message loud and clear" (video follows with transcript and commentary):
LUKE RUSSERT, SUBSTITUTE HOST: So you would welcome President Obama to campaign with you in your district?
CONGRESSWOMAN MARCY KAPTUR (D-OHIO): Oh, welcome him. I've been trying to get his wife, Michelle Obama, for several years right now. And we would like them to travel with us throughout Ohio. I think our Party represents, if you just look at the number of women running in the Democratic, on the Democratic side of the aisle in Ohio, 7 of the 15 candidates that we have are women. We have minorities. You look at the other side of the aisle, there are no women. There are no minorities running in Ohio. We have a much more representative slate as we look at Ohio, and I think we’d be proud, I want the president back. And certainly we would love to welcome his fight.
RUSSERT: Well they watch, they watch this at the White House, God willing, so they’ll get the message loud and clear.
Luke's father Tim must be rolling over in his grave.

Hey Luke, college boy, has it dawned on you yet that you exclusively limit yourself to one side of an argument?

You've got your MSM and your SUM and your FTCM.
That's "mainstream media," "suck-up media," and "feet to ceiling media."
Pick any three.

The White House has yet to figure out that NBC News is pro-Obama? Geez, Obama really is an idiot.
NBC is the Obama Public

NBC is the Obama Public Relations department with the motto "All Obama, All the time". They provide cover and distraction for this incompetent administration with out a any shame, infact protrays it with pride.

The White House is satisfied that your dad sired a journalistic eunuch, worthy of being trusted with handling the royal jewels with utmost care.
Not likely they watch you, Little Luke, but maybe you're right. This President seems addicted to your brand of political porn.
Does this mean?

They'll "get the message" about all the dems that are going to skip the convention?
Have they even mentioned it?
Submitted by Model850 on Thu, 06/21/2012 - 1:43pm.
Do we know for a fact that the traditional media (ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, et al.) have even mentioned that there are Democrats planning to skip the convention?
After all, reporting something like that might make King Hussein look bad, and we know they can't have that!

Please Obama - Campaign with Marcy Kaptur (D-Oh.)

She defeated Dennis Kucinich in the primary this year. While her district tends to swing, Democrats have fared better. In addition, she's running against a conservative Republican and a Libertarian who will likely split the vote. But, if Obama does show up in Ohio's 9th District, the Republicans just might have a chance. BTW, another good reason for term limits, this is Kaptor's 20th year in Congress.

any workers, other than unionized city employees, left in Detroit.
However, the SCOTUS cut into the money that will be available to dem politicos through the unions, today. They actually upheld the rights of employees, to tell the union no, when it comes to taking their money for political causes. At least for the "non-union" members of the union. I assume they meant those who choose to opt-out of the union, but still have to have dues taken out.
"When a public-sector union imposes a special assessment or dues increase, the union must provide a fresh ... notice and may not exact any funds from nonmembers without their affirmative consent," Alito said. It's an AP article, so it may be taken down at any time.

What are they smoking at MSNBC that would convince anyone that Luke Russert should be doing anything other than fluff pieces and even that would tax his obiously limited "talents".

We all knew Russert was a Democrat but he considered himself a journalist first. His son is a partisan hack first and then a journalist if you can call what he does journalism.
