I Guess David Gregory Forgot He Belongs to A Union

[Me.]

He was decrying those meanie union members this morning for calling Walker a dictator and Hitler.

1. people really need to start calling these 'journalists' on their own union ties.

would they give up their union membership?

2. Union or not.

Calling someone a dictator or Hitler just makes you look stupid, in my opinion.

It also invalidates any point of view you might have.

6. But it is a fact that Hitler abolished unions.

That's where the comparison comes from. And it's perfectly appropriate for this reason.

7. I think those who say people are stupid

for calling someone a dictator (in particular Scott Walker and his ties to David Koch), don't understand how fascism begins, and use disparaging remarks to relieve their anxiety and maintain their closed belief system.

Keep whistling past the graveyard.

10. So You Turn Around And Call People Stupid?

Kind of invalidates your point

[Angry Dragon]

11. How about if it is pointed out the koch family has/had ties to the

Nazi party?? Is that fair??

3. Charlie Sheen has a union too.

4. David Gregory is a comfortable little poodle.

He knows that his Beltway community collectively considers such references to be uncouth, that's all. He's not a real dog-- er, journlist-- so really, who gives a shit what that little lapdog thinks.

5. We should be careful not to generalize..

if there are one or two "Hitler" signs, that does not mean everyone is doing it.

8. So have a number of other right wing blowhards

Such as O'Rielly, Hannity, and Limbaugh - all of whom belong to the American Federation Television and Radio Artists union (AFTRA).

As it turns out, all three of them belong to the American Federation Television and Radio Artists union (AFTRA), which is the AFL-CIO affiliate for television and broadcast workers.

Yes, you read that right. While Hannity, O'Reilly and Limbaugh have been railing against union workers in Wisconsin, all three of them belong to an AFL-CIO affiliate union.

9. Actually, since his status has been elevated, he may have been put into a "management"

level. He may carry a "withdrawal" card. Perhaps part of his "deal" with NBC, is to NOT be "favorable" to union issues.:shrug:
