F**king pundits on MSNBC: kicking the hell out of Carter

[WI_DEM]

Especially Joe Scarborough--"Jimmy Carter is the last guy I would have talking about missteps in foreign policy."

and the Newsweek guy, "people will remember the hostages" Well, he also got them all out and alive.

[K-W]

1. turn on C-span for goodness sake

[WLKjr]

2. Hey Joe Scarbunghole

Go Cheney yourself you murderer.

[ThomWV]

3. I heard that cocksucker say that

if he had been in the room I would have beat him to within an inch of his fucking life.

[rwenos]

9. Thom, Thom . . .

Yes, it's hard to listen to that bullshit. Best advice: turn on CSPAN, and get it in real time. The pundits are morons anyway, sucking in scum and spitting it out, to fill airtime.

Wait for the good stuff. Patience. If you let Pubbie pig-effers piss you off that much, you'll have a stroke and we'll have one less sane voter.

On the other hand, you're so right . . . .

17. Now we assualting people for what they say?

Did I take a wrong turn somewhere or click the wrong link?

[librechik]

Carter is speaking to Lehrer now on PBS

very calming.

[lottie244]

11. He's awesome!!! Stick with PBS and C-Span

Don't watch the whore media, you're hurting your blood pressure.

[Waverley_Hills_Hiker]

27. That was a good interview

Carter didnt back down from his speech.

[JerseygirlCT]

4. Has the man been living under a rock for the past 20 years?

Or maybe just visiting too many undisclosed locations?

What will people remember about Jimmy Carter and foreign policy? How about peace between Egypt and Israel?

[Cha]

5. These guys are defending a joke. So what does that

make them?

[playahata1]

6. Why are you even giving them the time of day?

If you want unbiased, uncluttered coverage of the convention, watch C-SPAN. You don't need Tweety, Scarborough, et al to tell you what to think.

[theivoryqueen]

7. they LOVE to drag Carter around their pig-sty. Makes 'em feel macho

But he is a man of grace, intelligence and soul who did the what he thought was right. Contrast to the current asswipe who pretty much rolls the flag around him as he jacks anyone he feels like.

[pss]

8. Jim Lehrer is talking to Jimmy Carter...

... right now, after his speech. He's making it clear that he meant what he said. Yes, these people are extremists!

[PROGRESSIVE1]

10. How is Leher handling it?

[jab105]

16. It was a great interview...

respectful, how things used to be before everyone tried to outfox fox....

[ScreamingMeemie]

12. They wish they had the type of speaker that this man is...

They will never succeed in pushing our imaginations, in calming our fears the way this man can. :hi:

[progressivebydesign]

13. Those stupid fuckheads wouldn't know a decent man..

.. if he bit them on the ass. How fucking ridiculous to have those assbites giving blow-by-blow on the convention.. REMEMBER the good old days? WHen the broadcast stations would carry BOTH conventions as thought they were something special?? And they DID NOT have high-paid hecklers, such as Scarborough attacking the speakers?

Those idiots couldn't carry Jimmy Carter's lunch. WHere the fuck did those losers serve? Navy? Army? National Guard?

[RuralRtWise]

14. Were the hostages released under Carter or Reagan?

I was too young to remember but I was taught that they left under Reagan. Was I lied to?

[playahata1]

20. If Carter were allowed to do his job

he would have released the hostages. Instead, Ronnie and his boys had to grease some palms and line some pockets in order to make Carter look like a fool. Read your history for once.

[Nlighten1]

21. Maybe

You missed the part about Reagan making a deal with the enemy too.

[Jackpine Radical]

22. They were released within hours of Reagan taking office

as a partial fulfilment of the pre-election deal between Raygun & the Ayatollah. The rest of the deal was for the Raygunites to sell the Ayatollah weapons & use the profits to finance an illegal war in Central America. Ever hear of Iran-Contra? A whole helluva lot of people got pardons for their criminal actions back then & are now membersw of the Bush admin.

[gristy]

24. google is your friend

The second link looks pretty good.

25. Carter arranged thier release

Carter worked hard to get thier release but the "October surprise" which was supposedly Bush I going to Iran and promising them arms if they did not release the hostages until Reagan got into office.

Lo and behold on the day that Reagan was sworn in the hostages were released. And later we had Iran-contra which was arm trading with Iran by the Reagan adminstration against the law of the land.

[AngryWhiteLiberal]

15. Now, they have some TOOLS holding up Bush/Cheney signs in the backgrd...

If I were there, those assholes would be removing those signs from their asses. It's about time to FIGHT against these Brownshirts.

Also, Matthews has been a complete DICK tonight.

Hmmmm...let's just see how hard he will be on the Repukes during their convention.

[DemoTex]

18. YO! Joe Scarborough! Tweety!

Shut the fuck up! Or at least tone it down 20-30 dB. You guys are really full of shit. If you worked for me I'd fire your ass.

[Old and In the Way]

19. Missteps in Foreign Policy?

Like dismantling the Energy Department? The solar/renewable energy ideas? Conservation? Instead, we got 30 years of cheap oil and a sucking quagmire in Iraq that's threatening to pull America down.

[IronLionZion]

23. Carter's energy research

was the best bit of foreign policy this country has had for a long time. Think how much better off we'd be if we didn't depend on the Middle East for oil.

[ronnykmarshall]

26. Tune to C-SPAN

So much nicer.

Cheney the networks!
