Maureen Dowd Hysterically Claims MSNBC Is Tearing Down Obama By Noel Sheppard Created 08/15/2010 - 10:35
New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd said Sunday MSNBC is tearing down President Obama.
More amazing than that, she was actually serious.
In her "No Love From The Lefties [1]," Dowd bashed "progressives" for not staying on the President's bandwagon.
This includes MSNBC who she hysterically claimed "is trying to make its reputation by tearing down [Obama]":
One of the most disgusting things about Mitch McConnell and Jon Kyl, and now the former maverick John McCain, is that they are happy to be co-opted by the radicals in their party to form one movement against President Obama.
On the Republican side, the crazies often end up helping the Republican leadership. On the Democratic side, the radicals are constantly sniping at Obama, expressing their feelings of betrayal.
Fox built up a Republican president; MSNBC is trying to make its reputation by tearing down a Democratic one.
Assuming you haven't passed out from lack of oxygen during an uncontrollable fit of laughter, there's more:
The lefties came to the defense of the centrist Clinton during impeachment. Now that Obama is under attack, however, they are not coming to his defense, even though he has given more to the liberal cause than the scandal-stunted Clinton ultimately achieved.
He has shepherded the biggest expansion of social programs since the Great Society and spearheaded the biggest spending program with the stimulus. But for the left (and for some economists), it was not as big as it ought to have been.
Most telling was that Dowd earlier in the piece mentioned "Michael Kinsley's maxim that a gaffe is just truth slipping out" for the Times columnist was certainly letting her readers in on just how far she's willing to shill for the President she helped get elected.
More importantly, she will publicly scold her colleagues if necessary.
After all, MSNBC is still a devout Obama and Democrat supporter along with a unabashed conservative basher.
That some of its hosts have on occasion in the past year expressed disappointment with the President by no means qualifies the network as tearing him down.
In fact, Dowd herself has in the past nineteen months surprisingly addressed her own concerns for the current White House resident.
Is she the only liberal media member allowed to do so in her view, or are his plummeting poll numbers and a dismal midterm election cycle ahead changing Dowd's mind about she and her ever being honest when it comes to this President?
One of the most disgusting things about Mitch McConnell and Jon Kyl, and now the former maverick John McCain, is that they are happy to be co-opted by the radicals in their party to form one movement against President Obama. “
LOL!
I will sell you all 3 for a dollar.
LOL!
We will see more of this as the liberals realize they cannot even rally their base for this election.

How would anyone know what MSNBC says or does? No one is watching it.
What is MSNBC? Sounds like a cartel to me.
I would just love to know if She is offended by the constant reference to the pic’s.
I so hope so
...but I can't quite put my finger on it...
Turned on FOX this morning just in time to hear Juan Williams proclaim that FOX “picks on” Obama. Am not sure why FOX continues to include him on any of their panels. Turned it off and not sure if I will turn it back on until Cavuto comes on tomorrow and then it’s back off!
Maureen needs a beauty consultant quick!
Reality is tearing down Obama. MSNBC, apparently, is reporting it. Sort of...
The rule on FR, and the pics, are you have to post a Picture of CZJ on Maureen Dowd threads because Mike Douglas dumped Maureen for her. So, the pics you see are not Maureen Dowd but of CZJ, at least most of them are.
Since when is Clinton considered a Centrist? I would categorize him as as far to the left as Barry only more efficient. Seems to me that much of the present economic problems have their roots in Bill’s decision to force banks to give loans to people that had no way to repay. Rahm and Gorelick carried the baton until handing off to Barry in the country’s relay race to economic disaster. Maureen seems to be arriving at her opinions based on skin color.
Whoa! It’s not the belt after all. It’s the wearer.
Like I said Mureen is going for the Helen Thomas look. She’s already got the brains of the old broad!
I think MSNBC has just realized the tide is shifting and their ratings are going UP when they start talking about all the NEGATIVE things Obama has done for America, his hatred to Americans and his goal of converting America into a Islamic controlled nation.
Who cares what this idiot thinks?
