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.

Imagine the Precious Perfect rage Keith Olbermann would have worked himself into had this memo surfaced while W was President. Ping to Today show list.
As if any more evidence was needed to demonstrate that the MSM is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the DemocRAT Party.
This used to be among the elements of fiction, but no more. Not that some things that Bush was doing escaped from the scrutiny of the so-called “press” in this country, but that practically EVERYTHING that affects life, liberty and pursuit of happiness in this country, when enacted by the Current Regime, is both acclaimed and never critically examined by this same sycophant “press”.
By the way, where is Herr Doktor-Professor Sturmfuehrer Oberstleutenant Keith Olbermann today? Has he gone to work for al-Jazzeera yet?

In other news. blind squirrel finds nut.
No they don't. The media will never call them out.
No they don't. The media will never call them out.
Obamadrone strikes on Americans are what Obama probably meant when he has frequently said: “Every American deserves a ‘fair’ shot. “
The next obvious question is WHY. Why would it have caused a huge controversy under Bush, but doesn’t under Obama? Mika and Harold just can’t quite connect those dots.
Of course it would have, because the “peace people” are phony Democrats with an agenda of attacking Republicans.
I guess the two ping-pong balls careening around inside her skull occasionally DO make contact.
The only double standard is that which exists in the MSM. The only outcry if Bush had done it would have come from the MSM.
The media is Leftist slanted. Period. Mika has tacitly admitted it and I think she's too stupid to realize she did.
But do we care that it didn’t cause a controversy, or that it is the policy of our government in the first place?
Whiplash Joe. He buries republicans, lives to spit up on conservatives and basically mocks the Constitution and anyone caught defending or enforcing it. Then he throws a bone.
After picking through the debris of his sock drawer insults, Joe pulls out one innocuous remark to represent a 180 turn of opinion. Anything to stay covered, quoted and under contract.
Ignoring these people is about the only chance for getting them fired.
So basically they called themselves hypocrites but they don’t care that they are hypocrites. Got it.
