Tom Brokaw today asserted that despite Obama's victory, he'll be governing a nation that's....

[marmar]

.... center-right.

:eyes:

I'm so sick of his pompous, obnoxious ass. I've really grown to despise him over the course of this election, and he was someone I had no feelings about one way or another up until now.


Hijo de puta! :mad:

[rurallib]

1. Let us hope that Brokaw retires for good now.

[NJPuggle]

2. Jennings Envy

Tom Brokaw looks eternally like a man with a lot of granola in his mouth and not enough Metamucil in his cabinet.

[upi402]

3. lol

:rofl:

[DJ13]

4. People like him are secret Mussolini worshippers

They long for the old fascism, where the wealthy ruled like men, and the poor had no choice but to kiss their feet.

[d_b]

5. he's just regurgitating the repube narrative

like a good little soldier.

[Dr Fate]

6. Didn't Brokaw write a couple of shitty coffee table books about this center-right demographic?

n/t

[Idealism]

7. See: "Boom" (the Rethug Revised Edition)

8. lol! n/t

[autorank]

9. Brokaw says that because he's intellectually dishonest

All you have to do is be awake long enough to review a few polls over the years to know -

the public favors wide spread health care, universal usually;
the public favors environmental protections;
the public never favors going overseas and killing people which was demonstrated by
majorities of Republicans and Democrats opposing the Iraq invasion (until the WMD lies started).

Brokaw knows this because he's reported all these polls over decades.

Letely, he's looked a lot more bought off, however, so f' him. The truth is the truth.

[thunder rising]

10. Thank Tom for helping Bush get us into the Iraq war. MSM is all guilty of murder

[enough]

11. Barack Obama's victory in this election has proven all these pompous pontificators

WRONG. We have to stop giving them so much credence. They will eventually atrophy and fade away. Not quickly, but over time. We have more important things to do now.

[spanone]

12. he wishes

[Proud Liberal Dem]

13. What polls are he pointing to?

when he is saying that we are a so-called "center right" nation? The polls on nearly every given issue consistently reflect a far more liberal/progressive viewpoint- so much so it's amazing that the Republicans have been in power so much.

fu%^$(*%($(ing "corporate whore media"!!!!:mad:

We cannot afford to let them help the Republicans spin, obfuscate, and smear their way back into power and keep Obama (and whoever wants to pitch in) from doing anything good for our country.

We need to start keeping them on a short leash and shouldn't trust them as far as we can throw them. They did just about EVERYTHING they could to help McCain/Palin get elected (thankfully they didn't succeed but might've had McCain run a slightly better campaign IMHO). They are NOT going to stop trying to advance the Republican cause now just because there's no longer a Presidential race on.

14. If I had a dollar for every time

some wingnut said that today, I could pay the rent for 3 months.

[yorgatron]

16. proof positive that he gets the Repug talking points memo every morning.

hey Tom,ever heard of impartiality?

[Political Tiger]

15. Isn't it about time for him to get another face lift?

Just one more and he'll look like Kenny Rogers!

[Engineer4Obama]

17. I was so happy on MSNBC last night

Tweety said the inverse of this (which is what I have always believed) that in the long run liberalism always prevails.

[Zhade]

18. Sadly, he's right.

Liberals here would be centrists in Europe.

[marmar]

20. I agree with that.......but.....

based on U.S. standards, I think the country's in a center-left mood......Which in Canada would be center, and center-right in much of Western Europe.

[live love laugh]

19. "...pompous, obnoxious ass..." Perfect description. He is intolerable. nt

[Applepie]

21. How I wish he would

go back into retirement. He makes me ill.

[Norrin Radd]

22. It's their latest propaganda

23. This "center right" horseshit is the GOP/Whore Media/DLC talking point of the week

And it's just as much of a goddamn lie as every other talking point they've had in the last 8 years.

"center right"

That's right..... PISS ON THAT SHIT!
