In my opinion, most of these

In my opinion, most of these people "rail against the Right" more than "shill for the Left". To me, little Georgie Stephanopolis does more "shilling" than "railing".

Hence the nature of the question

You were correct to perceive the distinction we're trying to make. Not who is most anti-Republican/conservative but rather who is most pro-Democrat/liberal.

Then my vote for George is

Then my vote for George is spot on.  He is no more than a plant.

That being the criteria,

That being the criteria, then I had to say Colmes. He gets out those talking points by rote. He's like a tape recorder on playback...

My vote too

Exactly. When you talk about shilling, Colmes beats everyone. I've never seen such an automatic, Pavlov reaction.

I need to change my vote to George

The key word I missed was "shilling" That makes it a toss up between George and Alan, but George wins.

No RINOs in '08 - Mike Huckabee is the best choice 

It's a toss-up between

It's a toss-up between Stephi, (added) Matthews and Moyers since they are the ones on the list (that I know of) who actually worked for the Democratickkk Party.

I voted for Colmes because

I voted for Colmes because he's the only one who openly admits to being a liberal and spouting lefty talking points. All the others are just shills... Except for Ubermoron. I'm not really sure just WHAT he is...

"I'm not really sure just WHAT he is..."

In love with his own "cleverness".

Well...

If, as someone noted, George S. is a plant, then Overbite would be a fruit, no? Of course, they're all nuts.

I am surprised that this

I am surprised that this many people believe the way they do. I guess you need to see all the names in a list for it to come to reality. Maybe they are all related or at least from the same gene pool. WOW!

I will have nightmares tonight.

I assume you left Media

I assume you left Media Matters off the list just to make the poll more interesting and competative.

It was hard

It was hard to pick just one. I had to go with Overbite because he gets to do it every night and then again on Sunday night.  

Southern by birth, Tarheel by the grace of God!

All the above.

All the above.

This one BEGGED for

All of Above - and an interesting twist, would be Who is LEAST  liky to Shill for the Left?

There is no sense in being stupid, if you can't prove it! - my dad V

All of the above. "Likely"

All of the above. "Likely" is not applicable to any of them; it can only be "certain".

Exactly

'nuff said.

A very strong case could be

A very strong case could be made for any one of this lot...though you're leaving out Chrissy Matthews for some reason.  I picked the little Shyster...but Moyers has so totally gone off the rails that he makes Olbermann and that garden gnome Helen Thomas seem almost objective.

Darn it

I knew I had to be forgetting someone. Have to reset the votes now :(

Don't sweat it

With so many good ones to choose from, it's hard to remember everyone.  I mean you could add CNN's answer to Ted Baxter, Rick Sanchez; Fox's answers to Ted Baxter (Shepherd Smith & Geraldo Rivera) and even that "Republican" at MSDNC, Morning Joke. 

...and we haven't even scratched the surface with the lefty riff-raff from the Today Show, GMA and whatever it's called on CBS.

Adding Chrissy to the list

Adding Chrissy to the list muddles things up a bit. He's a close second to little Georgie S. But the nod still go's to Lil' Georgie. I think he's got himself set up for some nice cushy position in a Hillary White House. So "shill on" Georgie!

Write In For ...

Chrissy Mathews

I'm sure you'll be adding him to the list.

He's on my list. I won't

He's on my list. I won't say which one in mixed company though.

"There are two types of people in this country; those who provide freedom and those who enjoy it." MM says...

Never heard of David

Never heard of David Shuster...considering the others and trying to decide is impossible, thoughtless and overpaid in equal measure all around.  I voted for Couric on account of the prestige of her position despite her well deserved bottom feeder ratings.  Olbermann is simply a wretched creature beyond compare who occupies a miserable hate filled niche all his own.

...Moyers is up there. 

...Moyers is up there.  Having mastered the art of being a socialist leach by reaping millions in tax dollars at PBS he may in fact be the most dedicated lefty among them.

In my opinion this poll

In my opinion this poll shouldn't be done with a radio group but rather a treeview with "Democratic Shills" as the root node.

Most of you won't know what I am talking about so please google the phrases you don't understand :-)

"There are two types of people in this country; those who provide freedom and those who enjoy it." MM says...

Mouth, you're right, no one

Mouth, you're right, no one will understand what you are talking about because you are wrong and simply not making sense.  Shuster aside (does he have a radio show?) the others in the poll are TV folk.  As for this gem:  "a treeview with "Democratic Shills" as the root node" you win top prize for prose in todays thread.  

It's about time!

"a treeview with "Democratic Shills" as the root node" you win top prize for prose in todays thread."

Fine! Do you mind posting my nomination here.?

Easy.  Helen Thomas.  Ugliest, too. 

Keith Olbermann

Old, Retired and glad of it.

Olbermann doesn't shill for the left. He's so stupid everyone uses what he says for comedy.  With the writers on strike every comic has a daily source,  that is if they don't mind dipping in the sewer.

Another Great Poll Question

Your poll questions are in most cases trick questions as the only real leftist up there is Chris Matthews. The rest are anarchists, communists, media whores and globalists.

Matthews therefore is the vote as while he was leading the globalist coup against Hillary for Al Gore.........he is leftist as Hubert Humphrey was keeping border busters out.

 

*HIC IACET ARTORIVS REX QVONDAM REXQVE FVTVRVS

Ummmm

where is the "all the above" choice?

That would be ungrammatical

plus it would be at 100% if it were there!

What "shill" to vote for?

You have to have an "all the above" button or I won't vote! So there.

Pity vote

I'm going to have to give Katie Couric a pity vote.  With nobody in America listening to her, she can pretty much get away with saying what she wants without scrutiny.

Sorry ... I'm having KITCSS

Sorry ... I'm having KITCSS ... Kid In The Candy Shop Syndrome.

All of the above.

All of the above.

Better Question

A better question would have been:

Most Often to Shill for Left, or,

Most Effective Shill for Left

I tried to vote for them all, but it wouldn't let me.

So I voted for Keithie.

 

I picked Keith cause there

I picked Keith cause there was no "all of the above" to click on to.

Let's See If I Can Break It Out

Check out my reasoning for voting for Chris Matthews and see if we can agree.

*Wolf Blitzer tries really had not to appear biased. His internal bias just pops out now and then.

*Alan Colmes doesn't pretend to be an objective journalist, so he can shill all he wants.

*Katie Couric is a Dan Rather wanna-be, but just can't be as vile as Dan.

*Bill Moyers is a Communist. No one cares what he thinks except other Communists.

*Keith Olbermann just plain hates our current President. That's all.

*David Shuster could fall in the forest, and no one would hear it.

*George Stephanopoulos really doesn't shill all that much because he knows we all know he is a Clinton buttocks-kisser and we'll call him on it if he shills. He has his "Round Table" of New York Times columnists do the shilling for him.

*Helen Thomas is a senile Socialist monster whose words carry no weight or meaning.

That leaves Chris Matthews. He wants so badly to be Tim Russert, he can almost taste it. But he shills for the Democrats SO MUCH that he'll never be anything more than he is right now. Mention tax cuts and watch his face turn into a tomato. Mention Alito, Scalia, or Thomas and the spittle starts flying! Yep, he's the hands-down winner in my book.

Agreed?

as Mark Levin would ask

who's the biggest pervert in the world?

"Always do right. This will gratify some people, and astonish the rest". Mark Twain

Had to go with Stephanopopulist...

"Georgie-Georgie Puddin' Pie", as Slickery still calls him during her daily talking points lecture, is the Clinton-owned, network-employed shill for the Arkansan used car saleman's domestic partner-of-convenience. Unlike the rest, you don't need a dotted line to connect GP with Billbo & Hillbo (Carpet) Baggins.

But, I digress...anywho...

Olbermoonbat would have been my hands-down choice had you asked for the 'loudest shrill' for the Left. But, words have meaning leaving George the proper choice.
