Unusual candor from Mika Brzezinski and Harold Ford, Jr. on the double standard that exists for Republicans and Democrats.

Discussing on today's Morning Joe the Obama administration memo that has been uncovered authorizing the use of drone strikes to kill U.S. citizens abroad, Mika admitted that there would have been a "huge controversy" if such a memo had surfaced during the Bush administration. Ford said that "Democrats have to think now about how they conducted themselves and the questions they raised about Bush administration tactics." Joe Scarborough flatly declared that had the policy come to light under Bush, it would have been "ended" by the ensuing outcry.

like HRC a sterling example of femenism. she got where she is because of her daddy, not because of any talent or brains. HRC got where she is because of the male she married, not because she is smart or talented though she is ammoral and ruthless.

These people are treasonous pigs. Their cover-ups, lies and cheer leading for a radical Muslim in the White House makes the complaints about Nixon appear trite in comparison.

He has the power to murder Americans upon his order, yet in their cheer leading mode, they do not see the problem with his official characterization of conservatives and constitutionalists and vets as domestic terrorists. He’s using his mini-KGB to make lists of enemies and spy on Americans.

Big mouth Joe has is a treasonous mouth piece for the regime.

Have they admitted yet that their cheering for the global community organizer in cheif which has placed Muslim radicals in power in Egypt, is an act of Obama funding and supporting real jihadists at war with Isreal and the US? It’s against US law to fund, aid and abet radical Muslim groups.

He’s aided and abetted Al Quada with arms and money via supporting the MB’s overthrow of governments. Have they yet to see that Obama’s radical jihadists have raped, murdered and tortured innocent Christians, children and women in Egypt?

Is it alright with them that their Dear Reader has denounced the ‘flawed and outdated’ constitution of the US? How about that a Federal court just found he exceeded his constitutional power in jumping over the Senate confirmation process and appointing radicals to positions in power when the Senate was not in recess? How about him increasing deficit and US National debt over all the other Presidents before him and him refusing to work with Republicans? How about his racial division incitment?

How about him changing immigration and welfare law via EO’s? What about the systematic harassment and sexual molestation policy at the airports and DHS road blocks to inspect drivers around the country?

In light of all this, what do they think about him deploying drones, which he uses for foreign war, into the US? Did they ask why DHS is buying enough ammo for a domestic war or why DOD is planning for a domestic war against Obama’s political enemies? Would it be okay if he was naming radical news agencies like MSNBC, communists/Union members, and leftist radicals domestic terrorists via DHS? How about if he went after enemies of the constitution - foreign and domestic? He’d have to murder himself.

What do they think of Obama and his minions trying to restrict the first and second amendment freedoms via the UN (imposing Shaira speech restrictions on Americans) and with the second amendment, imposing his own restrictions via EOs? How about his ordering Christians to privately fund via insurance, coverage for birth control and abortion medications?

Come to think of it, has big mouth Joe read the health care law yet? What does he think of Obama’s domestic army mentioned in there? How about Obama having access to everyone’s health records? What about the death panel? Has dumbo Joe figured out that Palin was right yet.

And I never heard Joey boy notice the Left hating on Palin’s handicapped son nor notice all the incidents of harrassment that has come to children who have his condition. How about the incitment of black on white hate crimes during the Trayvon mess...or the faking of news trying to demonize Zimmerman as a ‘White’ racist for the cause of ending self defense.

Liberal radicals have eaten away poor Joe’s heart and brain. Most likely he never had a heart and brain to begin with.
