Brokaw: My Most Conservative Friend Might Vote for Hillary
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 01/23/2008 6:25:59 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Tom Brokaw says his most conservative friend has told him he might vote for Hillary Clinton. I for one believe the former NBC News anchor. Hillary supporters might indeed constitute the rightward fringe of his friend set.

The revelation occured on today's Morning Joe.

Which says that Brokaw is pretty far left, doesn’t it-(why would this surprise andybody—he’s a “journalist”)—when his MOST CONSERVATIVE friend “might vote for Hillary”.

Out of curiosity, I checked to see which Democrat that the Communist Party USA is supporting (they don't bother to run their own candidates these days since they can easily identify with the Democrats who are more than sufficiently left-wing to meet the CPUSA's standards); I didn't find an endorsement, but I did notice this paragraph:

The Democratic candidates represent a spectrum, with Dennis Kucinich offering the most advanced program, Richardson strong on withdrawal from Iraq and repeal of No Child Left Behind, Edwards strong on issues of poverty and labor rights, Obama strong on issues of equal rights and opportunity, and Clinton with a strong appeal to women, but not clear on the war.

Today's conservatives (classic liberals) would NEVER vote for a Stalinist.

Brokaw, a Marcusian Marxist leftist (today's liberals), is clueless as to what constitutes conservatism.

Frightening that men like Brokow in the media still run this country, top to bottom. From our reps in gov, to our fellow Americans, he and those like him still have the greatest influence.

Conservative What? No real conservative in their right mind would vote for Hillary.

I had fredheads telling me if Fred isn't the nominee, they want Hillary to win.

Brokaw has really hurt his own credibility in recent weeks via MSNBC.

Actually, now that I think of it, I might vote for Hillary, if McCain is the GOP nominee. Hillary might actually be to the right of McCain.

Right On!!!!

That headline is the best. So completely revealing of Tom Brokaw and the circles leftist talking heads like him move in.

That just proves he doesn’t have any conservative friends. He cannot relate to conservatives on any level. His most conservative friend is probably a moonbat.

When all your friends are liberal elitists, of course one will be the “most conservative” of those liberals. It’s probably a woman who is considered “conservative” because she drinks plain black coffee at Starbucks.

Yeah, it’s the one who disagrees with Hugo Chavez on one minor detail.
