Zbigniew Brzezinksi

NBC's Andrea Mitchell Agrees: America One Of World's Most 'Socially Unjust' Societies

By Mark Finkelstein | December 02, 2011 | 09:06

Zbigniew Brzezinki's indictment of the United States was so harsh—calling America "one of the most socially unjust societies in the world"—that even his own daughter Mika was taken aback, asking her father to explain himself.

But that didn't stop Andrea Mitchell from emphatically agreeing with Zbigniew Brzezinki's condemnation of the USA.  In the course of doing so, Mitchell called the Tea Party  and opposition to ObamaCare "exaggerated forms" of protest, while praising Occupy Wall Street as "a real movement."

Zbig Brzezinski: 'Ignorant' Americans Susceptible to 'Simplistic Slogans'

By Mark Finkelstein | July 13, 2011 | 08:18


You mean, like the Americans who made president someone who two years before had been a state legislator and ran on "hope and change"?

Seriously, just who did Zbigniew Brzezinski have in mind when he said this on Morning Joe today?

"We have a large public that's very ignorant about world affairs, and very susceptible to simplistic slogans by candidates who appear out of nowhere, have no track record, but mouth appealing slogans."

Rachel Maddow Compares Obama to - Gasp! - George W. Bush

By Jack Coleman | March 31, 2009 | 12:24

President Obama might be at risk of losing MSNBC political analyst Rachel Maddow, though it could be worse for him. Instead, she might remain a reliable shill.

After Obama unveiled details of his strategy against al Qaeda on Friday, Maddow played clips of Obama's remarks during her show that night, juxtaposed with similar comments by George W. Bush while he was president --
MADDOW: First, though, superficially, I think it has to be acknowledged that in today's speech, there were some George Bush-ish moments.

BUSH: These terrorists must be pursued ...

OBAMA: They must be met with force ...
Bush and Obama are then heard to say, in unison though years apart, " ... and they must be defeated."
