    Very sad...

    I would sooner trust Al Jazeera than this network. But it does bring laughs.

    Where are all the libbies? Huddling up?

      Post #1 & #1.1===Why do you watch MSNBC? If I distrusted a net work as you two seem to do, I would not watch it. As an example I do not watch FOX except when no other net work carries something I want to watch. Case in point some of the GOP debates that other channels did not carry. I really have to wonder about people that watch programs that they hate. Maybe a shrink might help.

        The Libs huddle up to get their assignments straight from Obama Chicago campaign HQs....

        They cant think for themselves, they just spit out the assigned talking points

          Bob your talking about the tea people GOP republicans. They never could think for themselves, you have to run to Rove, Limbaugh, Fox (aka tea people GOP republican propaganda machine) and Lunz to get your talking points. You people always try to accuse someone else of doing exactly what you are doing, It's called trying to distract but it isn't working any more, the country is just laughing at you tea people GOP republicans. Just remember, Republicans fall in line (spouting the daily talking points), Democrats think for themselves.

            Why do you watch MSNBC if you hate it so much?

              "Progressive Power Production" (PPP) presents another bone chilling episode of "Darth Rove." AKA. Karl Rove. Last time we left "Darth Rove" he was having "Nutty Newt" taken away back to the mental hospital. Now "Darth Rove" the GOP/RNC Master of "Misinformation and Madness" is putting his "Cultural War Plan" for the GOP/RNC into action. He has called his Two favorite GOP "Clowns/Zombies" to his "Chamber Of Horrors."

              "The Cultural Wars."

              Scene One opens with "Bonehead Boehner," and "Crazy Cantor" enter "Darth Rove's Chamber."

              "Enter my Zombies! We have alot too talk about." Ordered a laughing Darth Rove.

              Together the GOP/RNC Zombies reply in monotone voices. "Yes master. We are at your command."

              Darth Rove explains to his Zombies."Obama's Economy is getting stronger, and that has caused me to change our message to the American People. We are now going to start a Cultural War with Obama. My very good friend Mitch McConnell has made my message very clear. Destroy this President at all costs."

              The GOP/RNC Zombies reply in a trance. We understand master, and will inform the other members of your words."

              "That is good my Political Pets! Now listen carefully. Obama is to be called a Muslum, who is against all religions. We must let our Party Zombies know that Obama is out to destroy Freedom Of Religion, the Constitution, and that he wants to control all religions." Explains Karl rubbing his hands together. The flames from his fire pit rising higher and higher.

              Scene One ends with Darth Rove holding up his father's book concerning the art of political distortions, and economic distractions.

              Scene Two opens with the GOP/RNC Zombies smiling and clapping because they too have read the same GOP/RNC book written by "Darth Cheney."

              "Obama is to be labeled a terrorist, stupid, not Presidential, a Cultural Dictator, not an American, and not well educated. I want Obama to be labeled the Food Stamp President. The Birthers lead by my good friend Trampy Trump are still very active." Ordered Karl pointing at the pages of his father's book.

              "We will complete the destruction of Obama, and then we will make our Economic Agenda of Destruction for 99% of Americans complete. We will lie, distort, distract, and attack Obama at all costs." Replied Boehner laughing.

              "Yes master! My TeaBegger friends have been wanting a Cultural War with Obummer for a long time." Yelled Crazy Cantor shaking rotten tea bags in the air.

              Scene Two ends with the Zombies giving a fist salute to Darth Rove, and walking to the chamber door. In the background Karl Rove. AKA. Darth Rove. Is laughing while shaking his father's book in the air. The fire from the pit is moving across the ceiling of the chamber.

              The End.
