And when they come for you and your ilk, Howie, who you gonna call to protect you?

Ghostbusters?

[Buck-I-Guy]

Didn’t Newsweak sell for a dollar? We know why now.

[donna]

And by nativist, I mean people who are, in essence, afraid of the world."

That means you're not allowed to like our American culture best.

[stevem]

Fineman must have been in a coma the last couple of years.

[boomop1]

All the jerks on one show and as usual pissing in the wind.

[FlingWingFlyer]

When Newsweak throws you out on your @$$, you really need to come to the realization that you’re finished.

[theBuckwheat]

I see that the snarky namecalling phase of the campaign is starting a bit early this time.

[M Kehoe]

Good evening.

Is Newsweak still around?

Howard Fineman - who cares. His career isn’t exactly on an upward trajectory.

Former Newsweek editor Howard Fineman

This is how thin Fineman's resume is -- it's better for Hardboiled to identify him as former sold-for-a-dollar Newsweak douchebag than his current about-to-be-sold-for-a-dollar AOLHuffPo douchebag.

Hey Howard, we’ll drop you off in the hills of Afghanistan...or maybe somewhere in Iraq.... maybe Sudan or Somalia. Let’s see you if you find a lot of friendly people there. You stupid clown.

[Tau Food]

Some of these screwballs are so left wing that they view a pro-abortion, pro-homosexual, pro-amnesty, statist liberal like Romney as a dangerous right winger.

Wonders never cease.

[pieceofthepuzzle]

Typical uninformed sociology 101 liberal tripe from someone too misinformed and arrogant to know that he is misinformed and arrogant.

[Popman]

Fireman should know the meaning of the word Xenophobic.... It sure doesn’t apply to any group I am aware of....

[Col Frank Slade]

Watching Fineman and Matthews discuss politics is like break time in the faculty lounge at some junior collage.

[Freedom4US]

Standard leftist boilerplate. “Provincial”? Or, “uptight”, “autoritarian”, etc.

*yawn*

[arkady_renko]

Come here, Howard, I'll show you a Xenaphobe...

[RJL]

The useful idiots like Fineman were/are also adamant that Alger Hiss was a loyal American.

Of course Alger Hiss being a communist spy has been absolutely proven, but the moon-bat liberals won't learn.

[Kickass Conservative]

Since we can fight back, we are not “afraid OF the world” as Fineman stated, we are afraid FOR the world.
