Watching Melissa Harris Perry...

Love her,
and in the first few minutes, she's throwing down with Edward Cox,
yes, THAT Edward Cox, Nixon son-in-law...

She is so gracious and kind, but she knows her stuff!

Pour a coffee and tune in!

1. That guy Cox is rude and boorish.

He refuses to allow anyone else to speak without interupting.

A real dickwad. No wonder he hasn't been seen more on these shows.

2. He's being incredibly dishonest (the GOP was the Civil Rights party); heavy on talking points

and very light on fact-based discourse, AND he's a raging, rude asshole. But I'm glad MHP had Edward Cox on. He certainly showed his true colors--he belongs on Fox, not actual news/political discussions.

6. Yes, she's going to be great, but that Cox fellow....

.... made me want to scream at him to STOP FILLIBUSTERING. He almost ruined the first part of the panel discussion, because he tried to dominate every person's comments with his own. Fortunately, he disappeared after the first segment (was he gently removed, perhaps?)

7. She explained a concept that very few people seem to be able to grasp

When we have more union workers we have a larger middle class. Even people who aren't unionized benefit from having higher union membership.

When union membership decreases so does our middle class. They are directly related.

MHP is so smart and beautiful, and I really like her guests.

 
10. Mind if I pour myself some grape Kool-Aid?

It's in a vat...

I hear Rev. Al's show and she's on it like white on rice. They have both partaken from the purple vat. I dunno; perhaps someone called Al about that MSNBC gig and made him an offer he couldn't refuse?

if you hang around here long enough you will find quite diverse opinion.

if you are someone who wants to be tombstoned as if it were a game where you earn points
someone else will have to report you.

I have never been much for drinking koolaid--and the be considered as an obamabot-hell that is funny.

so play nice.
