Tweety going off on Clintons on Morning Joe, especially Bill

[MadBadger]

He thinks its a bad strategy to go after Obama's character and thinks that there are some internals that are real bad for Hillary, and that is why she is doing that strategy. Then he really slammed Bill for his comments about how he was always against the war (when he really wasnt).

[H2O Man]

1. That was interesting.

He made a valid point about how the democrats in the congress would have reached a different decision if Bill Clinton had actually been against the war. I have to agree with him on that.

[EV_Ares]

3. Yeah, I know, that one is difficult to understand. nt.

[blm]

50. That's EXACTLY what I've been saying. And he stayed close to Bush with that support

throughout 2004, especially during his summer book tour, while our Dem nominee, at every campaign speech and rally, had been opposing Bush's DECISION to invade because the weapon inspectors had been PROVING force was not needed.

Clinton said he wished Bush had waited BUT STILL SUPPORTED his decision to invade.

And when Kerry, Dean, Clark and Gore were saying throughout 2003-4 that Rumsfeld had to go, neither Clinton would back that position.

[EV_Ares]

2. He's not the only one in the media talking about that. Apparently,

Hillary's campaign knows more about their internal #s and more than slightly worried.

[sam sarrha]

4. got to bash the other side.. cause EVERYTHING the ReThugs do or say is lies or treason

[H2O Man]

7. It is good to

hold politicians to certain standards, such as telling the truth. Bill Clinton's saying he was against the war is not much different than Karl Rove blaming it on the timing of the vote in congress. When it comes to telling the truth, the democrats are much better than the republicans; however, when they lie, they seem a lot alike.

[DainBramaged]

11. Bill was the best thing that happened to America since Jack Kennedy

I don't care if he "speaks" a "lie" now that he is campaigning to be President again.


THAT is what all the Repukes are afraid of, Bill not Hill.

[H2O Man]

13. There were, and are,

many good things about Bill Clinton. However, it is sad that anyone would be pleased to be lied to about the events that led our nation to the war of occupation in Iraq. Republicans are not afraid of those who are gleeful at the prospect of being lied to in such a situation, nor of those who tell such lies .... they embrace both.

[DainBramaged]

18. Are we sure everything said is in context?

And it is so sad that Politicians lie, isn't it?:sarcasm:

[H2O Man]

20. Are "we"?

I am. But, apparently, it isn't a concern for you.

[DainBramaged]

22. Don't vote for Hillary, simple. I know where this is going, and I'm not going there

[H2O Man]

25. You are silly.

I'm perfectly capable of deciding who I will vote for without the keen insight of someone who is happy to be lied to by politicians. Thanks, though.

Truth be known: I campaigned and voted for Bill Clinton X2; campaigned and voted for Senator Clinton X2. It is possible to be offended by Bill Clinton's lie, and still be open-minded about Hillary Clinton's campaign for the nomination.

[DainBramaged]

28. NOTHING he could do would offend me. Bush is President, that offends me.

Call him today, say " Bill, Mr. President, you lied!" And he'll say "You're silly, vote for Hillary".

:hi:

[H2O Man]

34. Clown.

[DainBramaged]

35. Here is an NBC clown, for your pleasure

I hope you enjoyed it.


:hide: :evilgrin: :hug:

[H2O Man]

42. It figures you

would like Tim. I've never cared for him.

[DainBramaged]

43. No, Timmy doesn't know that challenging a Republican is a position to take

Watch him with Jim Webb from yesterday.

[H2O Man]

44. No, thank you.

I rarely watch him.

[DainBramaged]

46. You're just scrapin' for a tussle

Me has to go to work now, but I be watching for more "I love the Clinton's" threads tonight.


But everybody will be home so I will be speaking to cyberspace.


:shrug:

[H2O Man]

47. I'm retired.

So I'll be home near the fireplace, not watching Tim Russert.

[karynnj]

51. I seriously hope he wouldn't say "You're silly"

He is way better as a politician than that - I doubt that insulting people is a great idea.

[natrat]

16. bs- he gave poppy bush a pass,he pimped through nafta,he left us with tarnished image-he sucked

[DainBramaged]

30. And Bush has been so much better for this country??

One word to look up in the dictionary


PRIORITIES


So what else is wrong with Bill? A little blow job piss you off? Not ho the BFEE has tried to privatize the military, rob Iraq, rob America, break the Constitution, break the Unions, destroy our environment for the sake of corporate profit, destroy the middle class, strengthen the positions of the 2%.


What else say you about Bill?

[DeeDeeNY]

38. What tarnished image?

[ChairmanAgnostic]

5. both hill & billery made major league booboos this weekend

with hill in the lead with some real bloopers. Attacking Barack about KINDERGARDEN? she must be really desperate. Chris was on fire and entertaining.

You have to agree with him - Penn saw something in hill's endless polling or focus group that scared the shit out of the campaign. That smell? trying to replace the campaign's underwear fast enough. They may be switching to depends soon.

[DainBramaged]

6. Fuck Tweety. Even Dan Abrams is getting higher ratings at 9

Tweety is becoming irrelevant on a slowly changing (left) news channel.


http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/

The Scoreboard: Thursday, Nov. 29
5pm: Hardball 105000 viewers 9PM: Abrams: 151000 viewers


That must eat at Tweety's craw. As I have said so many time before I can go to Times Square even this morning and more people will hear me with a bullhorn than watch that miserable fuck.

[MadBadger]

10. Dont speak about something you obviously know nothing about.

First off, if you bothered to pay attention, youd see that Hardball has two airings, 5pm and 7pm. The 7pm airing always gets more viewers and this continues as he had 166,000 in the demo and 538,000 in total viewers. While Abrams had 151,000 in the demo and 420,000 total viewers. Thats the facts. Not to mention Abrams benefits from a big KO lead in and is in primetime, while Chris had to rely on a Tucker lead in, which is next to nothing. Next time get your facts straight.

[DainBramaged]

14. I'll speak as I please, and if you think Tweety has a strong enough viewership watch him

Demo my ass, and total viewership means nothing to the ad buyers, just ask O'Liely's folks. They can't even get All Bran to advertise there..

Obviously you have a relstionhip With Chrissy.

[MadBadger]

15. Still, you were proven wrong

His 7pm show beat Abrams' show.

[DainBramaged]

17. ..................

:nopity:


Follow it every night, but don't bother telling me. Tweety's ratings are abysmal for such a "personality"


Go read Media Matters about your hero.


I'm going to leave you now. Buh bye.

[MadBadger]

19. Sure, his ratings arent that great, but Abrams' actually has a chance to lose his job

Cuz for a primetime show, he is performing terribly. Oh, and he is hardly my hero, thats reserved for KO.

[DainBramaged]

21. Do you even know who Dan Abrams is to the network? His position?

Do you even know why HE is filling in at 9?????

[MadBadger]

23. He was the MSNBC general manager

Now, hes back to work at 9 because of the show I'm watching. And btw, I like him too. I like all of MSNBC, even Tucker (I disagree with him a lot, but I like his show). But his show is not doing nearly as well as Scarborough did in the post KO slot. He doesnt hold on to Keith's lead in well at all, and they need to find a show to put on post Keith that can actually compete, cuz he sure as hell cannot.

[BeyondGeography]

8. No longer pimping the road flare bullhorn moment, eh?

[zabet]

9. Tweety has a sour grapes

attitude towards the Clintons
that inevitably turns into
sour wine(whine) when he opens
his mouth.

[dkf]

12. My guess is Hillary is attacking Barack Obama's character

because she is not polling well in that area so she is trying to boost her character ratings and bring down his. But that attack on Obama's kindergarten essay is beyond pathetic. I think its simply hilarious.

[Tellurian]

24. I can't wait to see how Iowans feel when they find out Obama is stealing their election from them!

They call it "Front-End-Loading".. Obama is busing in thousands from Illinois.

Nice "clean" Chicago politics!

[Inuca]

39. What the HELL are you talking about? n/t

[MadBadger]

41. Obama is encouraging out of state students of Iowa Universities to Caucus in Iowa

He is doing something completely legal, and the Dodd and Clinton campaign are raising a stink about it, as well as a reporter from the Register. The candidates may be making a stink cuz they are down quite a bit to Obama when it comes to young voters.

[Inuca]

45. I know about this, but

it has nothing to do with "busing in thousands from Illinois". SOmetimes I wonder whether some of the Hillary supporters are REALLY supporters or just he opposite. Some of the claims, and the obnoxious way in which they are made are just unbelievably silly and antagonizing.

[Cameron27]

49. That story of thousands of students

being bused in from Illinois came from David Yepsen:

"Given that lots of students in Iowa's colleges and universities are from Obama's neighboring home state of Illinois, the effort could net him thousands of additional votes on caucus night.

It's not the first time Obama has profited from the fact he's from an adjacent state. Illinois residents routinely show up at the candidate's events in eastern Iowa. (The first question Obama took at an Iowa town meeting was from a guy from Naperville.)

Also, campaign volunteers come from Illinois to campaign for him. And opposing campaigns accused Obama's campaign of busing people into Iowa from Illinois to attend the recent Jefferson Jackson Dinner, a charge Obama's campaign has denied.

snip: But turning out-of-state college students into Iowa voters is a different, larger, matter. Thousands of votes are involved and it risks offending long-time Iowa residents.

But, then, they do politics a little differently in Illinois than they do in Iowa.

[Inuca]

52. Yes, thanks

I saw this in some other thread after I posted here. It still does not make the accusations of cheating right.

[DainBramaged]

26. Welcome to Morning Stealth bashing of the Clinton's

Join in, get your shots in while Tweety burbles some Clinton bullshit to start the day. We KNOW how much he loves the Clinton's, don't we?


Here's a golden oldie for you Freepers joining in

[MadBadger]

27. Well, she deserves it today

You know for all the attacking Obama did, he never once attacked her character.

[Cameron27]

32. He attacked her character

when he publicly chose to believe RW nutcase, Robert Novak.

[DainBramaged]

33. Bingo, context, plain and simple.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

37. an exceedingly small target, to be sure

especially given her campaign's performance this weekend.

[Cameron27]

40. Hasn't he been part of the lobbyist tag-team attack

along with Edwards? Is Obama without sin on this issue of taking lobbyist and corporate money?

[quickesst]

29. Everyone of...

these type threads are nothing more than another salvo launched to either bolster one's chosen candidate, or to tear another down. Tweety, as he is so fondly referred to here, is useful to all sides. He is one of those dip-shit, wishy-washy reporters who can be used as a good guy, or a bad guy, depending upon who is posting, and the content. This time he's ragging on HRC, thus, Clinton must be bad, and Tweety has credibility. Tomorrow, it will be someone else, another thread will be posted, and he will be the boot-licking, repug shill once again, with zero credibility. Thanks.
quickesst

[MadBadger]

31. For me, I've always liked Tweety

To this point, Ive always refused to call him that because I thought it was all done out of disrespect and hatred for him. Now though I do it just cuz its a lot easier than writing Chris Matthews. Sure I'm an Obama Supporter, but all I did was report what I saw on the television.

[DainBramaged]

36. Are any of you going to remember this or change your mind for whom you are voting for next year?

No

.



Nothing to see here, move along folks.

[bullwinkle428]

48. Holy hypocrisy, Batman! Has anyone here forgotten Tweety's

immediate post-"Mission Accomplished" comments? Falling all over himself with praise for the Chimpenfuhrer?

"WE'RE ALL NEOCONS NOW!! HA!!!"

Now, of course, he's on his show every night saying what a horrible idea the war was from the beginning... :eyes:
