MSNBC’s Mike Barnicle Directly Compares Defeating Trump to Americans Rallying to ‘Save Europe from Hitler’
MSLSD ^ | March 6, 2016 | Jamie Frevele

MSNBC’s morning-after coverage of the Super Tuesday primary elections hinged towards the dramatic at times. Morning Joe panelist Mike Barnicle compared the need to defeat former President Donald Trump to America rallying to defeat Adolf Hitler during WWII.

The panel discussed Trump’s acceptance speech Tuesday evening, during which he described the apparently grim state of the country. Barnicle described the message he was sending as “stunningly pessimistic,” but a point co-host Joe Scarborough made a bit earlier about the American spirit during WWII got him thinking:

I was reading again, rereading Rick Atkinson’s trilogy, the first part of his trilogy on World War II, [An] Army at Dawn. And on the morning of June 6th, 1944, a young lieutenant, James Rudder from Texas, led the Second Airborne Battalion up the sides of a cliff called Pointe du Hoc, a straight-up cliff, 125 feet to a German pillbox. And he went right at the Germans, right at the Germans. Fifty percent casualty rate. Why did they do it? They did it because we were Americans, and we were there to save Europe from Hitler.

And now all of these years later, we have to get together as a country and save the country from the threat that Donald Trump proposes. Donald Trump actually has said, we all know this, that he could solve the war in Ukraine in one day. And we know how he would solve it. He would say, “Vlad, it’s yours.” He would turn it over to one of our fiercest enemies. That’s what we have to watch out for. That’s what we have to protect. We have to protect the country that we love, that we believe in. Not the country that he describes so negatively.

Unhinged rhetoric of an enemy combatant.

Always love watching these assclowns who never served prattle on about WWII, and the books they read, and going after Hitler, etc.

Drama queens.

Yeah, Trump is Hitler, and we are all his evil brownshirt minions. You unmasked us.... you idiot.

Mike Barnicle sounds like a serious student of Joseph Goebbels.

To quote Bugs Bunny applied to Mike Barnicle, “What a maroon.”

Actually President Donald Trump is a modern day President George Washington and our gay NeoMarxists are our modern day spawn of the Chinese Communist Party.

MAGA!

It was not the “2nd AirBorne Battalion” at Ponte du Hoc, Normandy. Also, Rudder was not ‘a young Lieutenant, he was a Lt. Colonel commanding “Rudder’s Rangers”.

“ Supreme Allied Commander General Dwight D. Eisenhower and his staff planning Operation OVERLORD assigned the Rangers of the 2d and 5th Ranger Battalions, under the direction of Lieutenant Colonel James E. Rudder and organized into the Provisional Ranger Group, the mission of destroying the enemy positions on the cliff top. “

I’m waiting for Major Libs like Barnicle to have theirOppenheimer moment! When they realize that their beliefs and actions are best described as “Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.”

Unfortunately I do not think their ego, and rage will allow them to experience this clarity.

Barnlicle is one of many disgraced journalists who found a permanent place on MSNBC if they keep lying hard enough.
