I haven't started a thread in months and months....but today SuzanneC walked me through it. I appreciate her patience, and wouldn't have imposed but I feel so strongly that Lawrence O'Donnell's outrageous anti-Christian comments on Scarborough Country should receive our attention.

Here is my e-mail. Not as nicely stated as yours,but ...

Hummmm let see which of the following is acceptable verbiage in the bright artificial light of MSNBC's news annalist studio:

"simple minded" Negroes;

"simple minded" Jews;

"simple minded" Irish;

"simple minded" believers.

One man's bigotry is another man's high paying thoughtful insight into matters politic.

Your bias is showing,

Name

"O'Donnell's eyes bugged out, he kept on yelling "lesbian, lesbian, lesbian" like a madman."

I too saw O'Donnell's angry screed against religion. It was despicable.

I happened to see the repeat last night and I was appalled at his diatribes against Terry and Christians. He is truly a hateful man. He took on God and at one point I expected lightning to strike. What a lunatic, yelling, "Lesbian! Lesbian! Lesbian!" at Terry and Pat.

LOL - I haven't started a thread in, probably a year, because I'm not sure how either! Thanks for making me feel like I'm not alone....

PS. I saw the show as well, and I LOVE your letter!

A while back I put myself out of my misery and stopped watching MSNBC. I figured it would make me less annoyed. Lately, I watch HGTV when I get the chance. If Freepers would stop watching MSNBC, they wouldn't have any ratings at all.

I saw it and it disturbed me as well. I think Pat Buchanan was bothered by it. He appeared to be the "devil incarnate" with his "demon" eyes and anti-religion stance. Spooked me!

Saw him on McLaughlin. He really was out of control. He gets bees in his bonnet and can't let them go. The last one was Schwarzenegger's impending election.

O'Donnell really hurt his own side by trying to demagogue the Kerry-Mary Cheney question. His argument seemed to be that Kerry couldn't have been dealing a low blow, because only people who couldn't stand to hear the word "lesbian" would be offended and Kerry obviously wasn't aiming at those people. But both assumptions are flawed.

Even if you know that your opponent has something in his background that people disapprove of, you make yourself look like a cad or boor by bringing it up. It seems to be a cardinal rule that you "don't go there." Especially not when there are plenty of others who'll do the job for you.

And while Kerry may not win many votes from the "religious right" with his ploy, he may be gambling that 1) some religious conservatives will stay home and 2) some non-conservative evangelicals (African-Americans and others) will be more likely to come to the polls for him, because of what he said.

Actually, Larry O'Donnell made Eleanor Clift look better than she usually does, and that may be why he's on the show. Some of these old Moynihan Democrats have mellowed more than others, and Larry isn't one of them. It may be the Hollywood crowd he hangs out with.

Law-rinse's remarks are insipidly Liberal. I've caught him a couple of times in the last few days and he's awful!

He desperately needs to be beat, repeatedly and vigorously, about the head and shoulders with a blunt object.

O'Donnell is close to a total breakdown. He is in a frenzy, perhaps driven by some inner demons or hallucinations. Quite a while ago he seemed normal. I don't know what is happening except that he is loosing it. TV should not by exhibiting the mentally ill such as he and Susan Estrich and turning news into a freak show.

I also fired off an email during Scarborough after O'Donnell's public (on tv) attempt to judge Cheney's daughter. How dare he. But, I was so fast about it, I had it sent before the rampage about no president saying a prayer before going into war.

O'Donnell must be on drugs, is a heretic, an atheist or all three. I would hate to be standing in his shoes as God hears those assaults against Him.

Being irate - I also advised MSNBC that me and my family will never - ever - vote for another Democrat as all I see in the democrat party is corruption, socialism, and the weakening of America. Also mentioned I realized that MSNBC is bias and that I will not accept propaganda and will fight it through all means.

I saw this EXPLOSION myself; thank God I am not the only one who thought he lost it on national TV.

I couldn't even make it to the end of the segment, YaYa. I checked out when he started ranting "Lesbian, lesbian, lesbien!" with a truly crazed look in his eye.

I agree with your assessment of O'Donnell, with this exception: He really freaked out over the Juanita Broaddrick thing, just went ballistic in HER defense, not Slick's. I'll never forget that, it really shocked me.

Oh well, go figure.

Mr. O'Donnell seemed to go beserk, it was disturbing to watch, but instructive. O'Donnell's eyes bugged out, he kept on yelling "lesbian, lesbian, lesbian" like a madman.

along with that, he kept yelling evil, evil, evil

Larry has lost it

I emailed Thursday evening and Friday evening. At one point last night Pat B said they had been innundated with email from Thursday nights show -- bet it doubled last night -- if not everyone should email whether they watched it or not. That man needs to be barred from NBC and MSNBC.
