Morning Joe’s Mike Barnicle Calls Decorated Combat Vet a ‘Kid’
Breitbart's Big Journalism ^ | April 6, 2015 | William Bigelow

Posted on 04/06/2015 2:37:16 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Frequent Morning Joe guest Mike Barnicle, who quit The Boston Globe in 1998 after the editor called for his resignation amid rumors he fabricated one story and plagiarized another, decided to exhibit more of his unrepressed rage at conservatives for the Daily Beast on Sunday in an article hilariously titled “Why is the GOP So Angry at Everything These Days?”

Barnicle somehow managed to use that title while displaying leftist rage, calling prominent Republicans all sorts of names and accusing them of all sorts of character flaws.

For example, Barnicle says Harvard law grad Senator Ted Cruz’s “fury” derives from his “massive ego and outsized ambition along with his personal belief that he is so smart and the rest of us are so pedestrian that he can manipulate opinion to win the Republican nomination for president with the support of the mentally ill wing of his party.”

Hard-line conservatives mentally ill? That sounds a teensy bit angry.

Next: “The minor league Cruz, the tough talking, totally in-over-his-head governor of Wisconsin, Scott Walker.”

Barnicle’s rage continues, as he calls Senator Tom Cotton, another Harvard Law grad and war hero, “the kid who started the pen pal club with the ayatollah.”(continued)

Barnicle was, is, and will always be, a punk.

In the aggregate, I wonder who is more outraged—Liberals or Muslims.

Edit just a couple of words and his statement is 100% correct.

“Harvard law grad Senator Barack Obama’s “failures” derives from his “massive ego and outsized ambition along with his personal belief that he is so smart and the rest of us are so pedestrian that he can manipulate opinion to win the Democrat nomination for president with the support of the mentally ill wing of his party.”

Barnickle? Isn’t that a self-adhesive invertebrate?

More Liberal Projection®

I've seen this lame tactic employed several times over the weekend - it must be the weakly Stalking Point.

Mike Barnacle is a disgraced plagiarist.

Another FRAUD from the Left.

So PMSNBC has done so poorly they have to bring guests from SpongeBob SquarePants? WOW! I guess that Olbermann wasn't lowbrow enough, they had to import Barnacle Boy from SB SP! Just WOW!

A BARNICLE is still an unwanted growth on the hull of a vessel or pier piling!
