Mika: 'I Question Patriotism of Someone Who Questions President's Patriotism'

MSNBC might like to replace "Lean Forward" with a new slogan: "Dissent Is Unpatriotic."

On today's Morning Joe, discussing the Rudy flap, Mika Brzezinski said: "I question the patriotism of someone who questions the president's patriotism." Joe Scarborough retorted that for years on MSNBC, Keith Olbermann got away with saying much worse about W without criticism from Mika or others in the MSM.

It’s all based on Einstein’s Theory of Budweiser Relativity. I’m a bald old man over 65, look at the picture in Post 34. Goggles or sober, I’d hit it.

There is none so blind as she who will not see.

Where was Mika on 911?

Probably watching on TV, thinking to herself "Serves those tools of capitalism right".

With the housecleaning going on at MSNBC, is Morning Schmo on the chopping block too?

I’m not sure she’s even smart enough for the brass pole frankly.

She'd have to stop halfway around to ask directions.

My view on this: politicians will always ‘dissapoint’ — even those who are mostly on your side. Therefore, to question the patriotism of a president’s critics gets us nowhere. Does Mika agree with EVERYTHING that Obama says or does? When she disagrees does that change her “patriotism quotient”?

I guess it does if you equate our government with our country — 2 different things in the conservative lexicon.

Were it not for her last name, she’d be dancing on a brass pole in some frack-field wildcatter titty bar.

A cheap one where the pole dancers thought that a buck was a big tip. Skanks and piaps looking for rugs to munch.

Resist we munch.

...well played sir....

Seeing that Obama questioned W’s patriotism, Obviously Mika meant SHE was unpatriotic.

If Obama called Bush Unpatriotic for adding $4 Trillion to the National Debt, what do you call a guy that will end up adding $9 Trillion to the National Debt, a Traitor?
