The video of that msnbc guy - Lawrence???- yelling at Culberson and calling Medicare and Social Security 'socialistic' is proof of what they have been trying to do.
Oh dear Lord, I saw that.
Lawrence O’Donnell sure made a fool out of himself.
I think the pub guy should have walked off the set but I’ll give him this....he did say a couple of times to my smirky smiles...”This is why nobody watches MSNBC”.
How about that, a pub hands an MSNBC partisan hack his head?
What O’Donnell was doing, for those who didn’t see it, was the most pathetic thing I’ve ever seen on a so-called political talk show.
Lawrence O’Donnell was yelling and screaming like he had rabies at the pub guy, Culberson from California I think. His White House talking point was that MEDICARE is a gubmint program.
He kept badgering the pub...”Would you have voted for Medicare in 65? Why are you lying to the American people? “ Screams and spit come out of his mouth and if he only knew how awful he looked, absolutely pathetic.
The pub should have walked off the set but he kept saying he don’t know what he would have done in 1965 and wasn’t that just the dumbest damn question?
O’Donnell wanted the pub to put out a great big ole talking point...INFLUENTIAL REPUBLICAN SAYS HE WOULD NOT HAVE VOTED FOR MEDICARE!!
This way, boom, the seniors get scared and it’s the pubs eliminating Medicare again. Medicare is what folks on disability and old folks have. It’s how it is and we live with it. But if we had to do it again for sure we’d think some things through. Obviously when you’re elderly or disabled the thought of losing Medicare scares you but it’s not because Medicare is the best system ever or that there was another choice we could have made that might have been better.
Or else...talking point number two....INFLUENTIAL REPUBLICAN SAYS HE WOULD HAVE VOTED FOR MEDICARE IN 1965. So now the state run media can tut-tut at the hypocrisy of the pubs who lambaste gubmint run health care but admit they would have voted for it.
The pub didn’t fall for it but like I said, this was a lose-lose question and O’Donnell, that lying pathetic sack of shit who sold his soul, wanted desperately to be the one to get that lose-lose sound byte from a pub while Chrissie Matthews was on vacation, heh.
The pub did take O’Donnell on, unlike other pubs the prior week who collapsed under spit and glares from Chrissie. He did say, a couple of time...”This is why nobody watches MSNBC” and he was right!
Next, the pubs should walk off the set at this sort of partisan browbeating. When they do this I’ll think perhaps they have grown a pair somewhere between the legs.
