It will be interesting to see if Morning Joe ratings drop with joe scarborough’s latest deceit. I watch them regularly but am tiring of his arrogance and pretending to have the inside scoop with Republicans who talk to him “off the record”. Think I can do without it from now on.

I came to the same conclusion about Morning Joe. They lost me when Mika blamed the Giffords shooting on Sarah Palin. I haven’t been back since.
I just have to make a comment on last week’s “story” about Piers Morgan “banning Kelsey Grammer for life” for abruptly leaving the CNN studios before the Morgan show aired. Kelsey walked out because he happened to see a picture of his white trash REAL wife of Beverly Hills being set up for the program.
Yeah. Kelsey Grammar needs to be exposed on a program that gets around a half-million P2 viewers a night. ROFLMAO!!!! Not surprisingly, the liberal media ran the Morgan banning. F-Piers. He’ll be the next host bounced from CNN. He would probably be gone anyway unless it would cost CNN too much money to buy out his contract.

But Carr and The New York Times aren’t the only ones getting defensive about the bias accusations.
Fox News’s Chris Wallace was firing back at critics like Mike Gallagher who wondered if the polls were biased:
“Let me just say something. This criticism of the polls is craziness. I’ve done some research on this today, which is more than you’ve done. No self-respecting pollster in the country — including Fox, I might add — when they poll, they’re trying to find out things about people and to weigh it, they will weigh how many men, how many women, how many blacks, how many Hispanics, because that is immutable. But to ask someone what your political opinion is do you consider yourself a Republican or a Democrat, that changes all the time. So they don’t weight it to that. And the fact of the matter is, in 2010, when they asked what do you consider yourself, more people said they were Republicans. Now, more people are saying that they’re Democrats.”

Yes, I remember that. She is pretty disgusting at times. Her posturing and squinting her eyes to try to pretend she is thinking or “something”–don’t know what she is trying to do–makes me laugh. As humans many of us (–me, me, me–I admit it) tend to take ourselves too seriously but she is off the rails. I won’t be watching them again. joe scarborough has been proven wrong and he is doubling down.
If you don’t remember the incident with his aid–google it—very suspicious.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s cameraman seeks US asylum after UN General Assembly: lawyer
By Josh Margolin The New York Post, October 1, 2012
A cameraman working for Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is seeking US asylum after courageously slipping away from the bombastic leader’s entourage in New York, the defector’s lawyer said today.
Hassan Gol Khanban’s bold dash for freedom was coordinated with his wife and two daughters, who fled Tehran, also last week, according to immigration lawyer Paul O’Dwyer.
“We’re in the process of trying to get them to the US now,” said O’Dwyer, declining to say where exactly Khanban and his family currently are staying.
Khanban came to New York with Ahmadinejad for the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
“He seems to have a very strong claim,” O’Dwyer said of his client’s asylum application.
O’Dwyer declined to reveal any details on how Khanban managed to slip away from Ahmadinejad’s traveling party.
The cameraman is believed to be in his 40s.
It’s unknown how long the asylum application will take to be processed by the feds.

Filmmaker addresses illegal immigration for Hobart crowd
By Lindsay Machak The Hobart News, September 30, 2012
A burst of laughter came from a crowd of about 100 people Sunday as they watched U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano say the border is “very secure” during an interview included in a documentary.
The documentary, “They Come to America,” was shown at the Hobart Art Theatre.

The test for MSNBC is after the election. What is all this haters stuff. I disagree with the progressive agenda as do most righties on this site. How does that make us haters? It is kind of hateful to say such things about us.
“Here we are on October 1st, and the incumbent president is at 47% approval. There is no poll that shows Obama at 50% approval. And, folks, that means as much historically as any other poll with any detail.” -Rush Limbaugh
“The Democrat Party cannot get by without a permanent underclass — in need, incapable of taking care of itself — and the last thing this regime is interested in is self-reliance and rugged individualism. They don’t think people are capable of it.” -Rush Limbaugh
“My instinct tells me that something’s happening here. I’m not trying to be melodramatic about it. I’m just saying that the Hispanic vote may not end up being as automatic for Obama as the conventional wisdom has it.” -Rush Limbaugh
Rush Limbaugh Show comes to WSB

I have heard some nasty hate filled speech come from the left over the years. Do ignorant people on the right say hateful things? Well yes but I would argue that they are matched comment for comment by people on the left.
Matt you had college professors saying it would not be wrong to assassinate Bush. Open up your mind and see both sides of hate.
Let Me see Madcow,Odumbo,Socialist, Links to the Drudge Report, constantly(There is a civil Sight).Birthirism lying about A mans faith lying about things that have been disproven almost universally I might add,All the terrible things Ive seen here by Sicillian Ahole (IM GLAD HES NOT MY PAPA)And the biggest haters Rat and Ibsies so get F e Real these are the most minor printable examples of low discourse and downright hatefulness that permeates the FOX news world

BBL…
The election is over.
David Plouffe tells us the election is over. F. Chuck Todd says the election’s over. David Gregory says the election’s over. I don’t even know why we do the election! But if you dig deep, you find things aren’t necessarily so. For example, Rasmussen yesterday: “43% of voters are certain they will vote for Romney; 42% are certain that they will vote for Obama. The remaining 15% are either uncommitted or remain open to changing their minds.”
So according Rasmussen, 43% are solid Romney, 42% solid Obama, and 15% yet to be persuaded. There’s something else happening out there, and I don’t want to make too big a deal out of this because I don’t really know. But go back to the Univision appearance that Obama did. We put together that montage of questions from the Univision hosts, and they were the first real questions Obama has faced as president. They were tough. They were questions that bore into his failures, his un-kept promises and so forth.
One of the big ones was amnesty, illegal immigration. These people bore in. “But you promised!” And Obama did his usual song and dance and tried to blame it on other people and said, “You can’t change Washington from the inside” and he knows that now. I got the impression when we put that montage together, and while watching that show and watching Obama on it, that I don’t think he realized… I think Obama’s ego, narcissism is such that he really believes that there is no problem after he shows up someplace.
