[HowHasItComeToThis]

29. REPUBLICANS ARE "THE ENEMY WITHIN" AND EITHER RULE OS BITCH

[sellitman]

2. I'd prefer "Morning Cenk" in the AM at MSNBC

This guy is great.

10. Agreed. One step in the right direction would be helping TYT beat Limbaugh in the Podcast Awards...

25. The site is a sales joint (marketing) and they require an e-mail addy.

I would love to help out, but no with a come on.

26. I haven't noticed any spam.

Of course I use gmail and have a nice filter.

3. Can anybody think of an instance where Bush worked with the Democrats?

To Republicans, bipartisanship is "do it our way". Compromise is "you don't oppose us and we won't rub it in your face when we win". Do these Republiturds remember the last administration at all? Were they asleep for 8 years?

[Umbral]

12. There was NCLB...

And if anything should stand as an object lesson in the perils of compromising with Republicans, it's NCLB.

[tblue37]

22. Republicans called bipartisanship "date rape." nt

[spooky3]

4. could some genuine Dems please rec this to offset the troll unrecs? Thanks.

5. Joe 'Dead Intern' Scarborough .... the egomaniac lives on -

unfortunately.

Too bad he "didn't hit his head when he fell for no reason". Yeah, right.

[Stumbler]

6. Nothing buy hypocrisy and lies in that Scarborough clip

First, Obama's been reaching out to the (R)s more than he's reaching out to his own base, the liberals and progressives who put him in office. And Cenk is exactly spot on: Obama reaches out to the (R)s, they slap his hand away and say NO!; asks the (R)s what it'll take to create a bipartisan compromise, their answer is "your complete political failure." And then to say Obama doesn't have enough pro-business interests around him?!? WTF? It's not that he's too liberal, he's not liberal enough!

It's been said before, but what Obama really ought to do, is freeze out (R) opposition, just as they did to the (D)s for 8 years, and go forward with the policies he campaigned on, or better yet, those supported by his liberal base: Single Payer/ Medicare "E" for everyone; Draw down troop levels in Afghaninam and Iraq; shift gov't subsidies from coal, oil and nuclear industries to solar, wind and geothermal; endorse Sanders' legislation to break down "too big to fail" firms; and create new taxable industries while lowering the adult prison population by decriminalizing, legalizing, regulating and taxing marijuana, hemp and prostitution....

Seriously, if the (D)s have control of the House, the Senate and the White House, but still can't get comprehensive health care reform passed, wtf are they gonna do if they lose their majority in 2010? Ab-so-lute-ly Nothing! ...time for a drink...

11. Morning Joke is the worst show on MSNBC.

I'd rather watch Lockup, for God's sake.

[Tx4obama]

7. Go get 'em Cenk! Keep up the good work! n/t

[Tx4obama]

8. I'm getting really pissed that no one has given Cenk his own TV show yet! n/t

[Douglas Carpenter]

9. I'm liking Cenk more and more all the time -- he is really growing on me

[Turborama]

13. Can I get some help wth some research please?

Just after Obama was elected Boehner said that the repubicans would do everything possible to make sure he would fail. I've been searching for a video clip and/or transcript of his reaction but can't find it. Does anybody remember that comment? If so, do you know who was interviewing him and on which channel?

[Stumbler]

16. I don't recall that comment, but in the same vein

I've been looking for a similar quote I remember hearing after the (D)s took over the House and Senate majorities in 2006. I thought it was either Lott or Delay, but whoever it was made the explicit point that the (R) strategy from that point on was to obstruct every (D) policy they could. My searches keep coming up with Lott's saying GOP obstruction could work or fail, but that's not the quote I recall. At the time it sounded pretty damning, and now I can't find it...

[sallyseven]

21. I think it was eric kantor.

He made that statement. Republicans are sluts for the idiots republicans. i hate them all. There isn't a descent one. Maria Bartolomeo is a moron in the true sense of the word. Mika needs her job.

[Enthusiast]

15. Recommended!

It's about time someone pointed this shit out.

And why would ANYONE reach out to a FILTHY Republican, anyway? They are not deserving of the slightest bit of cordiality or consideration by the Obama Administration. Birthers and deathers? Obama should reach out to birthers and deathers?

For me this is actually one of the most troubling things about President Obama-that he has been too considerate of Republicans.

Fuck that noise!

[olegramps]

17. My position is simple. I despise every damn Republican.

[KeepItReal]

18. "Go F*ck Yourself" - Dick Cheney to Senator Patrick Leahy (D) on the floor of the US Senate

That's how the GOP treated Democrats while they were in power.

[democracy1st]

19. K & R

[libodem]

20. Are Republicans simply misguided

Or are they lying disingenuous tools? Hmmmmm? A thought provoking question? NOT!

[Autonomy]

24. They are both

The two characterizations are not as mutually exclusive as they may seem on the surface.

[Stellar]

23. Gawd, I hate morning Joke!!!!

[pleah]

27. K&R

[Kajsa]

28. Thank you , Cenk!

If enough of us continue to point out every friggin
lie these bastards come out with maybe someone
will start to pay attention to us.

I hope so.
