On Monday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” host Joe Scarborough ripped President Barack Obama for his tack in dealing with the war on terror and in particular in dealing with ISIS.

Dallas, TX Mayor Mike Rawlings spoke Saturday on MSNBC, saying that ISIS wants the United States to "demonize" the Syrian refugees, the reason being that ISIS does not represent Islam. "ISIS wants us to demonize these Syrian refugees, want us to alienate these children," Rawlings said. "We have got to build a coalition of Middle Eastern states and we need to reach out, they're Muslims and we have got to use the words carefully to show them that we care about them. ISIS is no more Islamic than the Nazi senior staff was Christian. so we have got to differentiate...

Chris Jansing, MSNBC lightweight and self-professed authority on America’s foreign affairs, recently had the embarrassing hubris to say she didn’t think Donald Trump had the chops to wade into the turbulent waters of foreign affairs. (My adjectives, not hers). Can you believe this? Here is some poker faced female news-reader with the abject gall to criticize America’s self-funded, billionaire presidential candidate whose name and organization own, develop and manage 37 properties, 16 of which include foreign establishments. Only some airheaded, MSM type would embarrass herself to this degree. Mr. Trump not only negotiated and built a lovely tower in America’s...

Roughly 30 minutes after (perhaps appropriately) ripping into the media for their labeling of ISIS terrorist Abdelhamid Abaaoud the “mastermind” of Friday’s Islamic terrorist attacks in Paris, MSNBC’s Last Word host Lawrence O’Donnell struck out against Republican Senator Ted Cruz (Tex.) for engaging in “predictable, childish bluster” by responding to President Obama’s denouncement of his stance on Syrian refugees.  Following introductions and soundbites from House Speaker Paul Ryan and the President on the issue, O’Donnell remarked that the 2016 GOP candidate “was the first Republican candidate this week to say we should accept only Christian refugees into this country.” Watch...

<p>This is pathological. The enemy is killing us in our own homeland – everywhere and the left’s chief concern is destroying anyone that speaks against it or tries to stop them.</p> <p>This led host Tamron Hall to “recall concerns that a ‘tsunami of hatred may await Muslims.’” The extent of support that the Islamic State may have among Muslims in France was of no concern to Tamron Hall. MSNBC, without thinking twice about the jihad threat, simply falls into default mode: Muslims are victims, no matter how many Infidels are dead.</p>

Williams .. asks specifically, how this attack would impact the messaging. ... Because that is the important thing when hostages are still being held and gunfire is still being exchanged. How will the global warming conference's PR campaign go on? MSNBC.

Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, a vice chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, said the committee disinvited her from the first Democratic presidential debate after she publicly called for more face-offs. Ms. Gabbard said her staff received the message last Tuesday from the chief of staff to Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the DNC chairwoman, a day after she appeared on MSNBC demanding more than the current six sanctioned debates, The New York Times reported.

Monday on MSNBC’s “Hardball,” while discussing a new pro-Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) super PAC ad featuring an anti-gun control message that references Presidents Barack Obama’s gun control push after the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT, Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) called on Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) to disavow the ad.

Debates: Those tuning into Monday's "Morning Joe" on MSNBC might've wondered about the "worst record" poll that host Joe Scarborough said unfairly kicked Chris Christie off the Fox debate stage. We wondered, too.

An NBCUniversal executive, Joe Waz, is hosting a fundraiser today for Hillary Clinton. "Clinton has arrived at her first fundraiser of the day. NBCUniversal executive Joe Waz, and his wife Cynthia Telles, are hosting the event," Dan Merica of CNN reports on Twitter. NBCUniversal, which is owned by Comcast, operates NBC and MSNBC, among other television networks.

Would somebody please explain the Bill of Rights to Quentin Tarantino? The film director apparently thinks that Freedom of Speech is a one-way street: he gets to call cops "murderers," but they don't get to criticize him for it. Appearing on MSNBC show this evening, asked by Chris Hayes if he was surprised by the "vitriol" of police reaction to his speech at a recent rally in New York at which he called police "murderers," Quentin whined: "I was under the impression I was an American and that I had First Amendment rights." Poor baby. Yeah, you do. So do...

Quentin Tarantino defended comments that have triggered boycotts from police unions, and argued police brutality “ultimately what I feel is a problem of white supremacy in this country” on Wednesday’s “All In with Chris Hayes” on MSNBC. Tarantino explained his statement that triggered the boycott by saying, “Well, we were at a rally that was dealing with unarmed people, mostly black and brown, who have been shot and killed, or beaten, or strangled by the police, and I was obviously referring to the people in those type of situations. I was referring to Eric Garner. I was referring to Sam...

When I arrived in New York City 28 years ago to begin my national radio program, my objective was to have the most-listened-to show in the country. At that time, the national broadcast media included three television networks and CNN. That was it. There were 125 radio stations doing talk radio, and I started on 56 of them. No one had ever succeeded in syndicating a national daytime radio show, and I was predicted to fail, too. But I didn’t. What was different about my show was that I was the only conservative voice in national broadcast media. I was...

Watching MSNBC since I've sworn off all Fox channels. This morning they're broadcasting live from Kansas. Good show, thus far.

I took it for granted that a leftist like Bernie Sanders would be opposed to the death penalty. Still, I was truly shocked to see Sanders—not in some throwaway comment on the campaign trail but in prepared remarks on the Senate floor—flatly call the death penalty "murder." On his MSNBC show this morning, Al Sharpton played the Sanders clip to illustrate how Sanders is working to differentiate his policy positions from those of Hillary Clinton, who says she supports the death penalty in "rare" cases. Question: how can we begin to explain the moral compass of liberals like Sanders who...

On Tuesday evening, establishment Republican consultant Rick Wilson said the GOP establishment donor class must find a way to “put a bullet” in GOP frontrunner Donald Trump. In an interview with MSNBC’s Chris Hayes, Wilson conceded that “Trump is still a very powerful force right now” because he appeals to part of the of the conservative base that Wilson said was activated by his “nativist” message. Wilson insisted that the donor class “can’t just sit back on the sidelines and say, ‘oh well, don’t worry, this will all work itself out.’” “They’re still going to have to go out and...

Even when it's Paul Ryan. You may know MSNBC’s Melissa Harris-Perry from her claims that your kids aren’t yours, because they belong to the collective. You may also know her from the time she wore tampons as earrings, the time she claimed the term “ObamaCare” was racist, her racist jokes about how hilarious it was for the Romney family to adopt a black baby, or her pro-tax advocacy while facing a $70,000 IRS lien for unpaid taxes. However, given MSNBC’s ongoing ratings nightmare, you probably don’t know her from watching her show.

She thinks calling someone a hard worker is racist, you guys. Unreal....

Ted Cruz appears to be the best positioned Republican candidate running for president in 2016, Federalist publisher Ben Domenech said on MSNBC on Saturday.“[Cruz] appeals to the base in a very strong way,” he said. “He has the second most small-dollar donations and he also appeals to the party elites.”Cruz’s cross appeal among both grassroots conservatives and the GOP establishment is reflected in his campaign donations, he said.Watch the video.“He has the second most money overall and he’s very intentional about the way he’s approached this campaign,” Domenech, said.Cruz raised $12.2 million in the last quarter, second only to Ben...
