VIDEO - David Weigel Talks Politics...(Journalista v. the American People)

TWI’s David Weigel chatted with The Root’s Dayo Olopade on Bloggingheads.tv, discussing the Super Bowl, snow, New Orleans politics, Tea Parties and more -

Here's a few paraphrased soundbites to give a generalized flavor - see video for full content -

W response - I like to blame the average Joe's...

W response - I really like to blame these folks...

W – I suppose I'm going around making an argument like GI Joe's - who don't have an opinion - except what comes from above

O – they're really not informed so can we blame these folks

W - I really like blaming these folks - I really do.

W - why are they...the moronic senate -institutions... letting Americans get away with this...

W – I've always had disrespect for them (Republican Party)

W - You know (referring to birthers) this is really a way for them to frame...if we're been really being forgiving...a way to frame his commitment to America - if we're not so forgiving - then just a way for them to be angry about a president who is not a white guy...

W - I was at Reason Magazine for two years –it was understood that the best possible outcome was to find some way for (Congress) to go home and not solve anything.

W - I cover Sarah Palen because I have to …

O - And don't we all

W – I find the education at a different level (Tea Partiers), they know the constitution...but there's a lack of history and the economy w/ Reagan etc. (he then goes on to pretend that Keynesianism is some sort of a "scientific consensus".)

W – They're a middle-aged very white movement – they all lived through this stuff and choose not to remember... I don't want to insult them because I kinda like them.

W - ...middle-aged white people – they're like hard core Troskites.

The tape is over an hour long. I listened to it while working - an eyeopening mindboggling experience - something I imagine all these leftie "reporters" discuss among themselves quite often. They both appeared to know each other and felt comfortable in the vitrol. He seemed to enjoy the conversation so much he wanted it to continue but she drewback and called a halt.

Note - the interviewer Odayo left Root in April, 2010 – she wrote a farewell thankyou to the staff at root...she extended her thanks to include - the entire team of Slate for their “stylishness” and “example” and the Washington Post for “understanding” and “supporting” their take on the news... http://www.theroot.com/blogs/root/goodbye-root

Weigel was most likely also involved in attacking Sarah Palin's youngest daughter for a Louis Vouton design handbag that members of the Journolist claimed was fake.

That's about all you can count on with today's journopolemicists -- they've all got a queer eye for last year's handbags and manbags.

I'd trust their call on a fake Louis Vuitton. <sneer>

By the way -- is Weigel gay, too, or just the 75% or so of New York Times editors that we've read about? He's waspish and cutting enough in his vindictive comments ..... makes me think he might be.

Longer term, these guys are digging their own graves by showing us how ready they are to dig our graves, when we were just minding our business, paying our taxes and holding out our opinions. They want to stand us in front of a wall for that, send us off to Stalinist-style destructive-labor camps? Turn about is fair play, girls.

Vicious little toads.
