Are we so partisan that we would rather a country, a president, fail than have better things for our citizens? and the world.

We should be more concerned that the country succeeds or fails rather than whether the guy/gal we wanted is running the country!

Remember COUNTRY FIRST!

The picture of Chrissy Wissy is priceless.

North Vietnam was our enemy. It was sick and disturbing to want them to succeed.

Obama is the president of the United States.

It’s patriotic and decent to want him to succeed.

Country over party.

I’d like to also not do business with those that advertise on ObamaMSNBC.

To avoid watching the contagion that is ObamaMSNBC, it would be helpful for someone to post a list of advertisers who support this excuse for a news outlet. Nothing says we care by not caring to buy the products on offer from this source of Pravda.

As an aside, want to bet that even the loony Left will now start to watch something else without Bush to be angry about. I hear MTV is running a special 52 part series on the sex life of fungus accompanied by the music of Obama and the Chip Monks.

Look, Scarborough runs a reasonably honest morning show. Few people now realize that he was Don Imus’ replacement. I don’t mind sending Palin, Romney, Rice, Jindal, Pence, or any other of our bright bulbs on to Joe’s Morning show. They are more likely than not to be treated fairly. That’s the one exception I would make.

My opinion of any Republican who appears on MSNBC has been quite low for some time. I could tick off names, particularly from the House and Senate, and the usual word that springs to mind is “dupe.”

Sure, all networks are biased to the left. But MSNBC is openly an advocacy outlet and propaganda organ. It has been for three election cycles now, growing worse with each passing one. An appearance there is more than adversarial; it turns the Republican guest into a useful idiot. I would make exceptions for GOP spokespersons not afraid to take it to the enemy–which is what MSNBC is–but those folks don’t get invited back.

Republicans should avoid the pundit shows, but if MSNBC has any real news shows left, I don’t know if they do or not, they should appear there.
I would however make the point that while I wasn’t afraid to appear on their network it seems the same thing doesn’t apply to Democrats appearing on Fox or saying generically the rival network. Most people would know what that little euphenism means.
Of course far be it for me to say something like, while MSNBC flies in First Class on the Obama plane others were being thrown off.
There is simply little to no chance that you will change any minds among the regular viewers of that channel, bu tit would be fun to jab the Dems and maybe become an You Tube sensation by smacking them.

EE: thanks BUT you didn’t post all the good stuff,

personally, I’d love to see the end of radio + tv talk shows, in general !!!

The Internet is the place to be for political dialogue. We’re active folk here, not passive.

Most of the media is run by news organizations that are independent or part of conglomerates of the news and entertainment industry and thus have first amendment rights. NBC and MSNBC are owned by a large government contractor, namely GE, and thus should be subject to the campaign finance laws. Certainly the fact that Chris Mathews, “my job is to make Obama’s presidency a success,” clearly indicates that GE has and is making “In Kind” political contributions every time Mathews speaks.

Note: If you own a resturant and have a dinner for a candidate for office, this must show up as being paid for by the campaign or as you being listed as making a contribution ‘in kind’ for the value of the dinner.

There no doubt now Mathews is being paid by GE to make the Obama Presidency a success…How helpful will this be when the next batch of GE fighter engines is ordered from the US government? I believe Mathews air time is expensive and such a contribution by GE is illegal.

If he’s going to continue to accept a pay check from the equivalent of the NVA using your analogy?

The “Big Tent” analogy isn’t the correct one…the correct one is a MAGNET…we need to be a MAGNET that draws these independents in who are sick and tired of what’s going on in Washington—Fred Thompson

if none of his policies become law. So I hope he’s successful.

If you study history you see that when the media is used for propaganda purposes the results are always dismal for that country. That’s what a lot of Obama supporters don’t seem to understand. During the campaign the MSM was totally behind him,refusing to pursue any story that was detrimental to his chances of becoming President. That was bad. Now,however,that he is actually the new President,it will be dangerous if they continue to act as his arm of propaganda.

There was a reason that the Founding Fathers put in freedom of the press as the First Amendment to the Constitution. They realized how dangerous it would be if a government controlled the press. They must be rolling over in their graves now,where the press has voluntarily abdicated their role as watchdogs and have transformed themselves into lapdogs. I never thought I would live to see the day where the media in America would willingly be used as a branch of propaganda for an Administration that loves propaganda. Dark days are coming up ahead,my friends.

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, awesome:

Look, I clearly grant you that Matthews and Olbermann are biased, and will twist themselves into strange pretzel-like contortions to justify anything his Oneness (or should that be his Oneship) does, but I don’t we should form ourselves into the Republican version of the Spanish Inquisition simply because some of our fellow party members go on MSNBC. Quite frankly, that will just make us the mirror image of the Kossites, and I not sure that is what we should be.

Our party lost an election because it received less votes than the other guys. I don’t think the problem with the party right now is that we have too many heretics who we need to expunge. I think we need to keep all the “heretics” we have and add a few if we can.

The point of politics is not to be pure, but to enact the best set of policies we can. Lets persuade, rather than demonize.
