MSNBC: We Love LiberalsSometimes, the truth is obvious to everyone. During a discussion with fellow MSNBC host Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann wondered why Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards found it necessary to buy commercial time following a speech by President Bush. Marveling at Edwards’s actions, he revealed, "I don't think I'm saying anything unknown to the audience, I don't think he would have gotten a hard time from this particular network."
What Else Can I Blame on Iraq?
Speaking of Chris Matthews, one has to admire the host’s creativity. On Tuesday, while discussing the tasering of a University of Florida student, the cable news anchor blamed it on, you guessed it, Iraq. Matthews also decried the "fascistic notion" of American troops "forcing" democracy on Iraqis. Only a day earlier, the MSNBC host wondered, "Should we put Exxon signs up over Arlington Cemetery and Mobil signs up there, like they have at baseball stadiums?"
Morning Shows on Global Warming: Panic!
The network morning shows are doing their part to promote a fearful climate change agenda. NBC’s "Today" touted Laurie David’s global warming for kids book. On ABC, weatherman Sam Champion, a true global warming alarmist, promoted the emotional benefits of carbon offsetting.
Ex-network anchor Dan Rather announced this week that he’s suing his CBS for $70 million. It turns out that Rather has very strong feelings about lawsuits. In 1996, he introduced such a segment by observing, "In tonight's Eye on America, a look beyond the heat to try to shed some light on a growing national problem: Americans who – some of them – will sue at the drop of a hat." How true.

Seeing a Jewish Problem is like seeing a Bush Problem
September 22, 2007 - 13:29 ET by Lame CherryIf you consider Matthews, Olberman etc... with their fascism on the mind, people should ask themselves, "How many times a day do the word's Hitler or fascist come into your mind if someone isn't bringing it up?"
I would venture a bet that it rarely if ever does. When you look at John Edwards perhaps weakling is your thought to Barak Obama in being incompetent, but never the far ranging Nazi words ever fill the average person's mind.
Yet here you have Florida tasers..........of course that is Iraq to Matthews when in my judgment the guy was a passionate dufus rambling on and police have to keep the peace when a guy won't shut up laying on the floor and struggling.
Want to not get tasered? When police tell you to shut up. Shut up. When police tell you lay down. Lay down. When police tell you to put your hands behind your back. You put your hands behind your back. It is called following instructions from people who have electrical items and guns that hurt. It has nothing to do with Iraq.
Normal people see things like this, but put a socialist or a communist into a room and voila you have Hitler blaming all economic problems on "Jews". Never mind that most Jews were paying the same inflation rates like native Germans.......a socialist finds always someone to blame.
That is what beats at the soul or lack of one in Matthews and Olberman. They have nazi on the mind, because they see the world through nazi eyes. Listen to their totalitarian views of their knowing what is right for everyone and wanting a dictatorship to force people to exist their way......it is all fascist.
That is why Matthews and his ilk always come up with those words as they are fascists at heart. It is Freudian in people always scream about what is on their inner voice mind.

September 22, 2007 - 13:46 ET by SMGalbraithWell, some (many?) on the Left have been yelling that "The Fascists are coming! The Fascists are coming!" for six years now (if not longer).
For a group of folks that made the trains runs on schedule, they sure seem to be taking their own sweet time getting here.
Frankly, I have my doubts.

September 22, 2007 - 14:10 ET by SMGalbraithUsing force to overthrow a dictatorship and then install a democracy is, in Matthews little world (very little), "fascist"?
So when President Clinton used force to put Aristide back in power in Haiti, that was a "fascist" policy? (granted, it was a small use of force; but the principle still applies).
It's obvious that MSNBC has been recently trying to attract a liberal audience; niche marketing and all that. But some of these measures they are using are just absurd.
