Just curious, why do you pick on writer Joe Conason by labelling him , "liberal"?

Kind of funny, since that label applies to all MSNBC hosts, NBC journalists, and almost all of the guests, who do little but spew Obama talking points...

Another "all moonbat" day on the Obama reelection network.

Is it an insult to call someone a right-wing pundit? In my book, it is.

I consider myself a liberal and I am forever getting angry at NBC reporters, anchors and producers. For example, every Sunday MTP loads up it's guest list with Republicans. John McCain has the distinction of making the most appearances of any guest on that show. Tell, me how many liberal guests have appeared on Chris Wallace's show? Does Wallace beam at them like Gregory fawns all over his Republican guests? "Oh, Gov Christie, will you run as Romney's VP? Will you, Will you? Say you will!" Barf.

    What a hypocrite...

    Only the liberal idiots would try to justify this as "well, we need to have a level playing field"...

    FACT is, IF you're a MAN of your COVICTIONS, you stand by them. PERIOD. Even if you disagree....

    This desperate, lying SOB will do anything to try to win re-election.

    How about doing your JOB, instead of campaigning? Added $5 TRILLION to our debt with nothing to show for it, except anemic GDP growth and a shrinking workforce because no one can find a job...

    Hey, Barry- I had to drop my family's BCBS health insurance last year because I could no longer afford the $1400 month premium. Funny, I thought premiums were going to decrease... Keynesian jerk...

    It's damn SAD he's convinced the Obamabots that can't think for themselves that he's made "good" progress... My ass...

    Dear Mike:

    If you don't like candidates benefitting from Super Pac spending, shouldn't you complain to the Romney campaign about the $100 million the Koch Brothers are donating to swing the election?

    If it bugs you to see $5 trillion added to the deficit, shouldn't you be upset by the $7 trillion it cost us to remove Iran's biggest enemy, Saddam Hussein, from the world?

    I've heard about the loss of manufacturing jobs for the past 20 years, so how come you are just waking up to the fact we have a problem and why aren't you thanking Bush/Obama for bringing the big three American car makers back to profitability?

    I'm sorry your health insurance went up, I guess you can see why the Obama administration made the individual mandate a part of the reform bill - so that premiums would go down if everyone bought coverage. I'm assuming you'll be bugging your representative to drop the lawsuit brought to rule the mandate unconstitutional?

    Otherwise, I'll have to call you, a hypocrite.

    America there is a new 'Programming Note!' Now for your entertainment America. "Progressive Power Productions' (PPP), is poltically interested enough to present another bone chilling episode of "Darth Rove!" AKA. Karl Rove. The GOP/RNC Master of "Misinformation and Madness."

    "Dirty Harry Visits"

    Scene One opens with Darth Rove sitting on his throne made out of the bones of the Middle Class. Our "Politically Puggy" little GOP/RNC Lobbyist is reading the latest numbers gained from his American Crossroads Super PAC of Crap.

    Darth Rove mutters to himself. "I need more power, more money, and more lies against Obama." Shaking his spread sheets in smelly political air of rotten tea bags.

    Suddenly! Clint Eastwood enters Darth Rove's Blood Red Chamber of Horrors.

    Darth Rove stands up quickly from his throne and orders. "Come in Mr. Eastwood! I'm such a big fan of yours!"

    Dirty Harry. AKA. Clint Eastwood walks slowly towards the huge pit of fire asking. "Who the heck are you??"

    "Why I'm Darth Rove. The GOP/RNC Master of Madness and Misinformation!" Yelled Karl. Shaking his puggy fists in the air.

    "I do not care who you are punk!" Exclaimed Dirty Harry. AKA. Cilnt Eastwood chewing on his lit cigar.

    "What did you say to me little man!" Replied Darth. Pointing his cane of fire at Dirty Harry.

    "Maybe you are deaf! So I will only say this one more time punk! I do not care who you are!" Stated Dirty Harry flicking his cigar ashes at Darth Rove.

    Scene One ends. With Darth Rove throwing down his cane of fire in front of his throne.

    Scene Two opens. With Dirty Harry looking around Darth Rove's Chamber with great anger.

    "I'm starting to lose my temper Mr. Eastwood!" Yelled Darth. Pointing his puggy finger at Dirty Harry.

    "Is that so punk?" Grinned a questioning Dirty Harry.

    "Stop calling me a punk!!" Ordered Darth Rove. Throwing balls of fire into his huge pit.

    Clint Eastwood laughs and replies. "I don't care what you think! Punk!"

    Scene Two ends. With Darth Rove's eyes turning a bright red, and Darth starts growling like a GOP/RNC dog with rabbies.

    Scene Three opens. With Dirty Harry pulling out his 44 mag. Darth Rove is standing in front of his throne pointing his finger of fire back at Clint Eastwood.

    "All right Punk! I like playing with fire too!" Explains Dirty Harry. Pointing his gun at Darth Rove. Suddenly! The chamber door opens, and enters "Hoaky Hannity."

    "Hey Karl you have a call on line one." Informs "Hoaky Hannity. Walking up to the pit of fire.

    "Who is it Hannity?" Asked a snarling Darth Rove.

    "It is Newt. He wants to know if he can be President of his future base on the moon."Explains Hannity.

    Darth Rove put down his finger of fire and orders. "I will kill you later Mr. Eastwood! I need to take this very important call."

    "Sure Punk!"

    "Stop calling me a punk!!" Yelled Darth Rove. Shaking his phone in one hand, and his cane of fire in the other.

    Scene Three ends. Dirty Harry puts away his gun and replies with an evil grin. "That sounds good to me. Punk!" Hoaky Hannity and Diry Harry turn away from the pit of fire walking toward the chamber door. In the background they hear Darth Rove yelling into his phone at Newt.

    The episode ends with Hoaky Hannity walking up the long stairs with Dirty Harry to the "Nazis News Room." AKA. Fox News.
