Tweety: "something historic begins to die" thanks a lot for your hyperbole

Not helpful or accurate. Even if Obama sucks, which he won't, this is one f'ing debate and it should never be an excuse to doom Obama OR the Democratic Party.

Does anyone have a way to reach Tweety's people via email? We all need to be flooding him with emails. We're his "base" too.

So Tweety is up now. Martin was actually broadcasting from the debate on their outdoor set so I am hoping that he will be able to pipe in with the rest of them at the end. Expect that Rachael will continue to drive the panel after Tweety is done.

His red-faced screaming and spitting fueled the firestorm that followed. Fox was rolling on the floor laughing. He needs to get it together. He's my homey, but he needs to get it together.

It's not all on Obama's back to save it with a few debates!!! It's on all of us, including Chris Matthews by doing some decent reporting instead of hysterics.

The last debate was NOT good reporting. Sure, they can talk about Obama's low-key attitude and Romney's enthusiasm...for a few minutes. Then you discuss the content...what was said, what was accurate and what was a lie. You don't spend hours screaming Romney won!

If something dies, then the whole crew at MSNBC can take responsibility for putting a nail in the coffin. Then they can all get a job at TMZ...where their hysteria will be appreciated.

I'm done with them.

or we'll come out damaged ... he took no responsibility for the last round of over reaction.

Mostly I just think he's full of his own ego, the teevee gives too much power to a pundit like Chris Matthews!

It seems old habits are hard to break. Either that, or he took the memo from the money men seriously.

That even Martin Bashir had toned down his liberal tirades .. I wouldn't be surprised if Tweety does the bidding of the big money even without being told -- he's a news salesman primarily

Martin hasn't toned down one bit and neither has Al.

Tweety has always been a weather vane. He is arrogant and acts like a petulant child.

Anyone remember when there were rumors suddenly floated regarding him considering a run for Senate here in PA? That was the race that eventually became Sestak vs Specter. As folks found out later, his contract was up for renewal and after it was re-upped, the "Senate run" talk ceased.

Yes at least we can count on them to be reasonable.

But the opinion makers are Tweety, Rachel and Ed -- and they went fully negative last round

it acts as an excuse for everyone, including Liberals, to trash the President.

So I'm watching and planning to write emails describing my displeasure and I hope others do as well.

Like it or not msnbc is the "Left" to Foxes "Right" and CNN is right as well
