Carville Blows Up On MSNBC Anchor: Our Democracy Is Under Assault By Comey, The KGB And Republicans

[mitty14u2]

Source: Real Clear politics/MSNBC

CARVILLE: He was acting in concert and coordination with the House Republicans. End of story. He gave a letter to them. They gave it to FOX News. Also, we have this extraordinary case of the KGB being involved in this race and selectively leaking things from the Clinton campaign that they hacked.

So American democracy is really under attack here. And the question is how are we and in particular and how are Democrats going to respond to this. We have to understand this is really, really quite extraordinary. And it would seem to me that the FBI shouldn't be getting rolled by the House Republicans and that's what happened here. There is nothing going on and in the meantime we do know that our democracy is under assault by the KGB. To me, that's something we ought to be talking about. That's a relevant issue in this campaign. And people have to decide do we want our country for ourselves with the people in charge or are we going to elect the the KGB and the House Republicans to decide this election.

1. That was great to watch. I wish we would see more of James!

[Divine Discontent]

42. yeah, I think he needs on every show in the afternoon and evening from here to election day!

Because this Putin fella has had his hand too deeply into Trump's push to become president, as we learn more and more each day!

[DK504]

44. They won 't

The media is terrified of Carville. He speaks truth and won't put up with shit from anyone.

I lerve him

[RKP5637]

55. Carville goes against the grain/agenda of M$M, they don't want him. Carville is excellent. n/t

[INdemo]

69. It was obvious that Carville took Roberts off of the corporate mafia's

script. All he had was well what about July,what about July...
Great job James but I seriously doubt we will see him called upon by MSNBC to give his perspective again.
For a host that once worked for Trump, (Host for Miss Universe)for Faux and CNN why would we expect anything different from him except to defend Comey and Trump.

[titaniumsalute]

2. Gee when I brought this stuff up this morning I was told to put away my tin foil hat

I love me some pissed-off Carville.

[elmac]

5. Never listen to the naysayers

most of whom are repugs Infiltrating DU or on DU just to argue, just put them on your ignore list.

[bmpbmp]

7. Lol! Me too!

Bring it, James!

[yardwork]

17. Yep!

[leftyladyfrommo]

25. Well, I agree with you.

This is really scary stuff.

I have to say that I am appalled at how low the Republicans are willing to go. You have to wonder if some of them are really Russian operatives dressed up as Senators.

[RKP5637]

57. There is some really strange stuff going on in the US. I think more and more citizens are

waking up to the fact there are some strange people/republicans undermining the future of the US.

[leftyladyfrommo]

67. It's about time.

This is crazy scary stuff.

Someone said that all we have between us and losing our democracy is a grandmother in a pantsuit.

[Divine Discontent]

27. Like I said, there's "some people" who gripe to gripe

And make no sense whatsoever. You almost think why are you getting on me again? Lol. I put several on block finally. Their posts were always grumpy and argumentative. We don't know what others are dealing with, and my guess is they are suffering through some stuff and lash out online. Especially the Republican Trump backers on twitter and news sites. I hated seeing that the Hillary costumed boy from the greatest thread apparently was getting grief on their page so the family deleted it. Some people are just sick... Even if we don't agree on issues, we should remain respectful. Big difference in the candidates right there!

[RKP5637]

58. Anyone can join DU. Just put them on ignore. n/t

[IADEMO2004]

3. and so many times asked why he's upset now when Dems liked Comey in July. WTF

Ask a divorce lawyer if people ever change their mind about another person.

[tonyt53]

9. Need to add in "some" before "Dems". MOST didn't care for his words then.

He attempted to placate the GOP then too. Most of us thought he was a sack of shit then. I'm in that "most" group.

[IADEMO2004]

20. Yes. He dumped a load of poo all over her and said have a nice day.

days of having a Republican in your Democratic Administration may be gone.

[brush]

50. And what Comey did in July was not that effin great — what with the public chastising of Clinton . .

even though he couldn't recommend charges.

Carville gave it to that a hole talking head good, and deservedly so.

Trump, the repugs and Putin are in cahoots to steal the election and our democracy and these media clowns act like there's nothing to see here, that we should just take it in stride and move along.

[Cosmocat]

51. IOKIYAR

July was typical flex because Comey was an R.

Had the circumstances been completely flipped, except the republican had actually done something REALLY wrong and the democrat simply been doing his or her job, the right wing would have eviscerated the PARTISAN ATTACK by the Democrat.

But, that is the way of the game.

A truly "nasty" person in Kelly Conway is sweet Kelly because she is an R.

Comey did a partisan hitjob in July and he simply was doing his job.

BTW - I had all kinds of posts here ripping the asshat for what he was and what he did before he was even done with that shitfest press conference.

[chillfactor]

4. good for carville..

we need more like him on the news

[smirkymonkey]

31. I agree. I don't really think this "playing nice and

taking the high road" bullshit has been working out too well for us. It's like bringing a powderpuff to a gun fight.

[RKP5637]

60. Same here. It makes the democrats look weak and ineffective. n/t

[Wellstone ruled]

6. The Cagian does speek the truth.

And he knows the players. Funny how he is speaking of persons whom he had to deal with twenty years ago.

[Cryptoad]

8. where the hell does MSM gtet,,,

these twits and twirps for news anchors? Is there a school that produces them..... geeez!

[mitty14u2]

12. They are parrots spouting the same talking points all week end and all morning by every talking head

They are parrots spouting the same talking points all week end and all morning by every talking head.

[Ghost of Tom Joad]

59. Really

who is that guy who sometimes takes over for Chuck Todd on MTP daily? He's is really awful.

[Odin2005]

64. "Communications" majors.

Not a major renowned for attracting the best and brightest, LMAO!

[world wide wally]

10. Hillary surrogates should be all over cable news saying the same fucking thing!

Take the kid gloves off for Pete's sake

[luvmybluestate]

40. am so disappointed in the dems. they should have learned a lesson

fr running away fr pres obama in 2012. hrc can't do this alone

[RKP5637]

62. Democrats always it seems have problems like this. They tuck their tales and run away. HRC

needs help and people like James Carville are great!!! He used to be on TV a lot more, but I guess he conflicts with the M$M propaganda. And never trust MSNBC, they are just another propaganda outlet owned by RW Comcast.

[Bill USA]

11. must have been on live tv. I can't imagine they wouldn't have editted Carville's statement out if it

was taped before airling.

Hurray for Carville calling M$M for yawning at what are extraordinary events. Comey's abuse of power and Trump being helped by Putin.. it's INCREDIBLE.

[SunSeeker]

28. It's not "extraordinary." It's OUTRAGEOUS. We need to stop using neutral language to describe it.

[BeyondGeography]

13. Man, that was in-your-face nonstop strong

[blue-wave]

14. This Is The Reaction

that should come from every American. The response from the media (using this to cast doubt on Hillary again) is outrageous for such a serious breach of trust and ethics (at the least). And if Harry Reid is right about the Trump/Russia thing being held back, I consider that treason. Something is very, very wrong here.

[Duppers]

41. +100

[RKP5637]

63. Agree!!! Very well said!!! n/t

[mulsh]

15. It was thing of beauty to watch live. All Democratic party spokes people should follow Mr. Carville

and be just as combative and force the focus on the significant issues when hit with such innane and partisan questions as Roberts kept trying to interject. I'm sure Mr. Roberts is going to find some marks when he undresses after this show. Way to go Mr. Carville!

[BainsBane]

16. FBI protects FSB

So they can continue interfering in the election. Truly extraordinary.

[Laser102]

18. I have always loved the Ragin Cajun.

[Kahuna]

35. Me too...

[FreeStateDemocrat]

19. The left didn't praise Comey in July, he went on an unheard of diatribe against Clinton calling her

everything but a lady about her handling of the e-mails and then went before Congress to try to do another hit job on her. He was an asshole then and he is a pompous self-serving cretin now that has tried to torpedo a Presidential election. LOCK HIM UP!!!

[bucolic_frolic]

21. So this is where we're at?

Democrats had best make a lot of noise about this and get back to
issues and blasting Trump

This is now an election about undecideds and GOTV

[lillypaddle]

22. Love you, James

Don't know how you can be with Mary, but whatever floats your boat. I still love you.

[Achilleaze]

23. The Republican-Russian alliance is mutation of the Evil Empire

[sarcasmo]

24. Cajun Jimmy drops the hammer.

[CanadaexPat]

26. Wrong tone, wrong approach.

He's making a mountain out of a molehill.

[anneboleyn]

33. ?? What's the "molehill?" Even CNN is discussing the Trump/Russia ties and asking why FBI

won't release what they know about Trump and Trump campaign officials and Russia before the election since Comey dropped this letter on the election?

[babylonsister]

46. Do you care

to rethink that? I think it's exploding ...

[Democat]

47. Your words or Trump's words?

Or both?

[brush]

52. WTF? Wandered onto the wrong site? Thanks for your concern though.

[RKP5637]

66. WTF? n/t

[SunSeeker]

29. K & R

[ananda]

30. Good for him!

All this shit is blow up worthy all right!

[smirkymonkey]

32. K&R

[Kahuna]

34. Carville ripped Thomas Roberts a new one...

[luvmybluestate]

37. been saying, for yrs that dems need to grow spines, we need more fire

brands like grayson, ellison, barbara lee, and way fewer mccaskill's. schumer's. sadly, looking at our current roster of dems. i don't see too many progressives. hrc will need all the help she can get. umm, is carville up to running for office

[GreydeeThos]

38. Sing it James!

All ears to you

[niyad]

39. glad to see carville on the attack.

[adigal]

43. He's right - why are they obsessing over this email issue and missing the forest

Of the KGB stealing emails from one candidate and the media reading them over and over like they are valid when they can't validate them. Grrrrrrrr........

[Hekate]

45. Kudos to Carville! Thomas Roberts is a consistent twit in maintaining false equivalency.

[lillypaddle]

48. James is a national treasure

We need more like him.

[Ernest Partridge]

49. There ain't now KGB (anymore).

I hate to be a stickler, but there is no KGB.

It was replaced by the FSB. (Федеральная служба безопасности Российской Федерации (ФСБ ) , Federal'naya sluzhba bezopasnosti .

If Carville did his homework, he might be taken more seriously.

[yardwork]

53. I'm sure Carville knows. This is politics.

People respond to familiar terms.

[PersonNumber503602]

73. I'm assuming he knows it too, and it's similar to how some people say "The Soviets"

even though they are fully aware that the Soviet Union isn't around.

[brush]

56. How about Russian hackers working for Putin then? Who cares what they're named, they're still . . .

trying to steal the election for Trump.

[Kahuna]

71. I am quite sure a cold-war era veteran is well aware of that. He also knows

that putin was in the old KGB and is suspected of trying to resurrect the KGB.

[Odin2005]

65. The Ragin' Cajun has returned!

[47of74]

68. Yeah, reich wingers just hate it when Carville calls them out....

'

[Calista241]

70. Some here would accuse him of not being ideologically pure

due to him being married to Mary Matalin, a Republican who actually worked for W Bush and Dick Cheney.

I see several threads a day talking about how they have no Repub friends, and have defriended hundreds of people for not being in agreement with their political beliefs. Props to James Carville for adhering to his political beliefs, but able to see the beauty in a human that doesn't walk in lock step with him.

[GummyBearz]

72. He forgot one group

The aliens. They are in on this conspiracy as well

[mitty14u2]

75. I have not seen this or KGB Emails Re-Run on MSNBC?

[Turbineguy]

76. It's actually the SVR RF and no longer KGB

but yes.

[mitty14u2]

77. Republicans are deeply entrenched in the FBI, Screw honesty and integrity Party over Country!

Liberty student trains at competitive FBI internship 

“My father has been in the FBI for almost 20 years, and I think he has influenced me greatly,” he said. “I was also surrounded by military and law enforcement families my whole life, so it was an easy decision for me to pursue law enforcement.” 

During his summer internship, Neubauer attended several classes and workshops and was given a role in multiple simulated missions. He even got to shoot alongside FBI SWAT team (a division of the FBI) operators through a training course. In addition to combat training, Neubauer helped to streamline the FBI's equipment ordering process, making it easier for agents to order and receive equipment.

I WAS AFFRAID of Bush Left over FBI Agency Jobs by Cronyism and Politics. With a Obama presidency, a highly educated man to disrupt the FBI by changing the agency he didn't do, or understanding how bad the FBI is so bias, to but Comey in charge I was astounded. The Bush administration gave jobs usually motivated by cronyism and by politics, they are all still in place. 

[Turbineguy]

78. Liberty University exists to supply

incompetent hacks to republican administrations in order to destroy the government. A sort of un-armed overthrow.

[mitty14u2]

77. Lets Recape

How many Times dis Joe Scarborough Run the Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi & Emails Stories rants?

May 10, 2013

A political Witch Hunt! Benghazi then emails over and over again to make a disaster a criminal case only for political power!

After whacking like a ax at Hillary for years, Comey comes in and blows out the stump, 11 days before election day. Scarborough an X republican representative for 3 hours a day, 5 days a week with Fox News, Rush Limbaugh to Brietbart

Is it a Conspiracy, Republican Propaganda wins the day, Now WTF we have is a total control of America by a Propaganda machine that cares less about the Truth then Power.
