Harold Ford, Jr.: Republicans Wrong To Believe Obama Enjoys Great Favor Amongst Media
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 01/23/2012 5:14:08 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Of all the Morning Joe regulars, I find Harold Ford, Jr. the least interesting. Ever on the lookout for his next opportunity, the fiercely ambitious Ford is firmly of the "my good friend" so-and-so school of politics, constantly hedging his bets and finding a way to praise or agree with virtually everyone.

So it was an exception this morning when the former Dem congressman from Tennessee actually said something of note, if only for its sheer silliness. Ford somehow managed to maintain a straight face while claiming the media doesn't strongly favor Barack Obama.

Oh great! hearing from another one the the "Flying O's" shills, that settles it it must be true. If the MSM would spend more time off their knees in their standard and most recognizable position, and actually attempted journalism....., na not going to happen.

Never mind!

amybody (on either side) that says something so incredibly moronic is either a moron and/or a liar and can no longer be taken seriously.

My favorite picture of Jr. is him standing in front of a joint in West Tn. with the Confederate flag displayed behind him.

I will have to give Jr. a break, considering his father is one of the most racist fools ever. I don't take kindly to being called, “A blue eyed Devil”.

“Junior” was supposed to BE Obama, having made the keynote DNC speech four years ahead of Obama.

But he took a chance and resigned his 9th Congressional District seat to challenge Bob Corker for Bill Frist’s old senate seat.

His immaturity and the fact that TN is a RED state everywhere else but Memphis caused him to lose.

So he moved to D.C., took a DNC job and married a white woman, no doubt to the chagrin of his racist extended family back in Memphis.

Jr. can’t hold a candle to Pop and the Uncles.

He still has more time in life to catch up.

Even HGTV is beginning to annoy me. It has become so scripted. If I hear one more silly woman walk into a home and say WOW! I think I will scream. The homebuyers now all follow the same routine—it’s like they are reading cue cards somewhere......

I still like the show where Homes fixes up a poorly built older home, though.

What annoys me about HGTV is that more and more of the “couples” buying homes together are named Josh and Bruce, or Andrew and Roger, or Michael and David.

Yeah—that, too. I nearly break my hand turning the tv off when that happens.

I’m all for people being free to do what they want—I just don’t have to watch them do it—LOL!

The only “media” that aren’t in the tank for OweBama are the super radicals who don’t think he is radically liberal enough, and FOX news. And FOX is in pulling hard for Mittens!
