HYSTERICAL MSNBC HOST GOES BONKERS ON AIR

“Create a safety net for the poor”?? What about the welfare hammock?

[comebacknewt]

We have to CREATE a safety net?!?

Wow. Just wow.

[TomGuy]

>>What in the world is riskier than being a poor person in America?<<

Being a poor person anywhere else in the world.

The poor here can get:
food stamps,
free medical,
welfare,
housing allocations.

That isn't too risky, because many of them know who to game the system.

[JohnBrowdie]

My favorite is still that ed guy. he is a nut job of the highest order. he reminds me of a tourette’s patient on crack

[TomGuy]

who=how

[Jagdgewehr]

Yep.

[potlatch]

I consider myself a compassionate person, give to certain charities and donate food and clothing, but the poor in the U.S are rich by other country standards and they get so much free from the government - that we pay for.

This is from 2009 and doesn't include any government dole, including free cell phones...;

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

We have to create a safety net for poor people, and when we won’t because they happen to look different from us, it is the pervasive ugliness.

[potlatch]

Whoops, actually from 2005.

[p. henry]

The scary thing is that this person is a professor of political science at Tulane and previously was a professor at Princeton. Our children are being taught by a person who:

1. Doesn't know or won't acknowledge the difference between risk capital and social risk.

2. Apparently is unaware of that we have had a social safety net in this country since the founding of the Republic and a progressive, government run safety net for at least 47 years

3. Apparently has never asked herself whether the decline in the non-material well-being of the poorest decile of American society over the last forty years or so - measured by things like percentage of intact two parent households, number of children born out wedlock, drug addiction and crime and incarceration rates - might have been accelerated by the safety net programs of the Great Society.

There are questions to be asked here. Primarily, in an increasingly competetive world in which education, responsibility, the willingness to work hard, and discipline are becoming necessary not just to prosper but to survive, how should society, not government but society, deal with a group of people of all races, that does not seem to value education, responsibility, self-restraint, and respect for lawful behavior? Given the social decline of our poorest decile during a period of time when we have had a plethora of federal and federally sponsored programs for relief of the poor, it is not at clear that more of the same would be a good thing. It is, however, a problem that needs to be addressed.

[Mountain Bike Vomit Carnage]

That gal has quite the lisp.

[procrustes]

Well, yeah. Neighborhood full of trayvons lookin’ for justice. Risky.

[South40]

[PJBankard]

Stupid is hard to cure.

Stupidity can be prevented, but you can't fix retard.

[Newtoidaho]

At the very least she has no concept of the many types of risks that businesses face:
market risk
credit risk
liquidity risk
insolvency risk
political risk
technology risk
societal preferences risk

To this idiot, standing on a street corner while obozo’s sons try to kill each other is the only “risk” she can comprehend.

[berdie]

First let me say I think New Orleans is a beautiful city.

But also has a very high crime rate and poor educational system.

If the lady lives there and is spouting this babble there is a serious disconnect. Or she is a kook. Or she is a liar.

"HYSTERICAL MSNBC HOST GOES BONKERS ON AIR"

When DON'T they ? That's what you get when you hire nothing but Funny Farm Fascists.

[arkady_renko]

"What in the world is riskier than being a poor person in America?"

How about:
• Walking through their neighborhood with your hard-earned paycheck in your pocket?
• Keeping your business open after dark in the same neighborhood to serve the people there?
• Investing your own money to start a business only to be despised by the anti-capitalist Left?
• Arguing with Chris Matthews without a sneeze guard to protect you from bodily fluids?
• Huffing entire box cars full of Hope and Changeium

[mardi59]

Someone that has her money and education would not move into a high crime area unless she has a death wish.

[berdie]

That is not only priceless...it’s true.

I hope you don’t mind is I steal it to use in future arguments with some of my less enlightened aquaintances.

If it doesn’t send them into a complete tizzy...it will certainly shut them up.:)
