MarkF | September 2, 2015 How bad is it getting for Hillary when the best her defenders came come up with is Harold Ford Jr.'s formulation: okay, so the words most associated with her are "liar," "dishonest" and "untrustworthy" but, hey!: she's not unpatriotic.
On today's Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough hit Harold with the obvious question: does he think David Petraeus--who was convicted of a crime for improperly passing…
MarkF | September 1, 2015 Have conservatives caused the liberal media to crack up and reveal their utter contempt for those who disagree with them? In recent days we've seen Mike Barnicle declaring that he wants to live "as far away as possible" from anti-establishment Republican voters, and Sirius host John Fugelsang contemptously call conservatives "rubes" that Fox News labors to keep in its "paddock."
The cavalcade…
You wish he had named names . . . Joe Scarborough has flatly stated "I do blame it on cable news" for "people wearing uniforms being a lot less safe today than they were before Ferguson."
So just which cable networks did Joe have in mind? Until last week [when he was relegated to the Sunday morning desert], Scarborough's own MSNBC was the Al Sharpton network. So surely Scarborough was pointing…
Looks like 'Up With Steve Kornacki' is turning into the go-to place liberals for liberals seeking to let their radical cat out of the bag . . . Yesterday, Josh Barro of the New York Times said that the only way to impact violent crime is to undertake a "massive" gun grab. Today, it was the turn of Salon's Joan Walsh to admit that she doesn't know "any liberals upset--outraged" by illegal…
Give Josh Barro credit for candor. When it comes to guns, the New York Times correspondent makes no bones about the kind of draconian, Second Amendment-defying approach he thinks is necessary.
Forget about expanded background checks or other such measures. The only way to have a "big impact on violent crime," according to Barro, is to emulate Australia and "really take away massive amounts of…
On MSNBC, Sirius radio host John Fogelsang says the rise of Trump has upset Fox News' plan to "give" the GOP nomination to Jeb, who would in turn be beaten by Hillary, letting Fox be the "hate Hillary network." This has created the problem for Ailes, according to Fogelsang, of "how to keep your rubes in your paddock when they've found a new shepherd."
So who's Hillary's enforcer? Last week we asked "who got to Donny Deutsch?" when he suddenly became supportive of Hillary when just the week before he had been very critical of her.
The same thing has happened with Ed Rendell. Just yesterday, the former DNC Chairman and Pennsylvania governor was quoted in the New York Times saying Hillary has handled the email scandal "poorly, maybe atrociously…
The morning after Al Sharpton was booted to the Sunday morning desert from his evening show, and not long after Ed Schultz and Alex Wagner were relieved of their hosting duties, Joe Scarborough has profusely thanked NBC News honcho Andrew Lack for making those changes.
On today's Morning Joe, Scarborough was discussing stunning poll results in which the first word that came to voters minds about…
If anyone's an expert on fake stories, it's Dan Rather. The disgraced former CBS News anchor has a new twist on the vast right-wing conspiracy. Instead of plotting against poor innocents like Bill and Hillary, those conspiratorial conservatives are now creating phony feuds among themselves!
On Rachel Maddow's show tonight, Rather declared himself "suspicious" about the battle between Donald…
