“Too bad he didn’t mention Chris Matthews, another liberal shill guilty of media malpractice.”
If he mentioned them all, he’d be there all night;)
I went where angels fear to tread a few times, in order to see what passes as “journalism” from the other side. We know Fox is conservative, but for anyone to watch MSNBC and b....ellyache about Fox is the definition of hypocrisy. Olbermann is simply rageful (and obsessed with Fox) and Rachel Maddow pontificates with such twisted rhetoric I couldn’t even follow....
He needs to rip Garafolo Rivera too.
I think he was speaking to them all. Good for Lou Dobbs.
Toward the end, he also said there is a big shift in ideology away from the left.
He could have spend some time ripping CNN while he was at it.
Here is what the tea parties were all about:
“We must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt.
We must make our election between economy and liberty or profusion and servitude.
If we run into such debt, as that we must be taxed in our meat and in our drink, in our necessaries and our comforts, in our labors and our amusements, for our calling and our creeds... [we will] have no time to think, no means of calling our miss-managers to account but be glad to obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves to rivet their chains on the necks of our fellow-sufferers...
And this is the tendency of all human governments.
A departure from principle in one instance becomes a precedent for [another ]... till the bulk of society is reduced to be mere automatons of misery...
And the fore-horse of this frightful team is public debt.
Taxation follows that, and in its train wretchedness and oppression.”
— Thomas Jefferson
(1743-1826), US Founding Father, drafted the Declaration of Independence, 3rd US President

I keep hearing that there were only 250,000 to 300,000 total in attendance at the tea parties across the country. How can that be? I attended two here in Michigan. Lansing was reported to have close to 5,000 and Troy had around 1,500. There were many more in Michigan alone...
Who would want to live in an America run by the “ideals” of people like Garafalo? Olberbaby wouldn’t even want to live in it as much as he caters to nuts like her. If their main rebuttal to legitimate arguments raised by right-wingers is that we’re racists, then these people are dumber than they look.
