MSNBC is one sick “news” organization; they do nothing but hate speech from morning to night; but cross the Clinton’s and holey cow! Matthews had to apologize to Hillary last month, now this suspension. Yet the olberidiot is still on the air and he calls President Bush a Nazi, a liar, and all other kinds of sick comments every night.

Clearly, if you trash a republican, a Christian, or a troop, that is just fine with MSNBC, but mention a Clinton and you are toast.

MSNBC, the poodles for the DNC.

What exactly does this loose cannon nut job have to do to get canned at MSDNC? Shot someone on air?
This is the same moron that played gotcha with a Rep congresswoman and then had to apologize on air for his false statements and facts he got from Moveon.org.

From your link:

Keith Olberman, News Director of MSNBC speaking of President Bush:

"And in pimping General David Petraeus...etc etc."

I’m looking a Shusters suspension with glee. Even if it was for the Chelsae remark. He’s such a nasty little pig.

Sorry, but his employer can suspend him for whatever they want. Last time I looked, the 1st Amendment doesn't cover private employers.

Good point.

I need some help with something, and perhaps a Constitutional scholar who is lurking can help.

Part of the First Amendment to the Constitution says that "Congress shall make no law...abridging the fredom of speech" (unless it's McCain-Feingold, I guess), but in the Constitution itself, "freedom of speech" is not mentioned at all.

Considering how many people BMW about having their First Amendment rights violated when someone other than Congress "abridges" their "freedom of speech", I'm wondering what is the precedent for "freedom of speech" that made the clarification in the 1st Amendment necessary? Was it in the Declaration?

Now, this is REALLY stupid!

Mamma and poppa Clintonista spend years shielding their little baby from the lime-light... even as recently as a few months ago when Bill sent his hit squad to that restaurant to get Chelsea’s picture taken down...

What morons....

The truth is: The Clinton’s ARE now pimping out darling Little Chelsea. What hypocrits.

I don’t particularly care for David Shuster or PMSNBC, but this is ridiculous. And Shuster should stand his ground and tell that idiot Dan Abrams to shove it.

Um....

The first ten amendments to the Constitution are the “Bill of Rights,” remember from grade school?

Unlike numbers 11 onward, the first 10 were not afterthoughts, they “in the works” from the start, but required a bit more hammering out.

>> I don’t appreciate it when people take shots at Chelsea!

>> Vexed!

Oh, who gives a rodent’s tukkas about the littlest Clinton?

She’s all grown up now, and can start taking her own lumps for herself. After all, she has decided, after seeing her entire life what her parents really are, to (pardon the expression) climb into their political bed, and become part of it all.

Whatever mud splashes off Bill and Hillary and onto Chelsea, at this point, she deserves.

Had this happened on Fox, we would have heard calls for the revocation of their license.

I noticed that in your rush to make such a snarky comment, a-hole, that you didn't answer my question. No matter what you call them, they are still AMENDMENTS to the Constitution, without which - as it turns out - the original Constitution would not have been ratified.

I found further research on my own - the ability to do so having resulted from a grade school, middle school, high school, and partial college education - here:

So you can take your comment and shove it up your back passage.

This the same MSNBC that did nothing when their anchor Keith Olbermann accused President Bush of “pimping General Petraus” “... and the same NBC that did nothing when Bryant Gumbel called a Conservative minister “fu*cking idiot” on the air.

Of course the MSM is fair... NOT!

I guess David Shuster is trying to achieve Don Imus status.

And it’s not “Christain” (4Bush), you plankton.

If you’re going to denigrate me for making what you call an “un-Christian” comment (not realizing, or caring, that my screen name is my actual name), at least spell the bloody screen name right.

Better yet, since the original comment didn’t apply to you, why not just stay the hell out of it, instead of trolling in business that didn’t concern you.
