MSNBC’s Non Sequitur Marathon

It is an established fact that the man who killed six people and wounded 12 other people in Tucson was not a Republican. Or a conservative. He didn’t even vote in 2010. Jared Loughner is a psychotic who bore an irrational grudge against Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. Why, then, is MSNBC treating its viewers to hour […]

A Very Special Comment

My 12-year-old son delivers a reply to someone with a gigantic ego and a miniscule audience: Here’s the script: Saturday’s shootings in Tucson, Arizona were hateful and tragic, the senseless and desperate deeds of a demented man. All decent Americans mourn the lives lost and irreparably damaged by this atrocious act of insane violence. Yet another act of […]

‘Unbalanced People … Respond to the Vitriol That Comes Out of Certain Mouths’

Yeah, that’s what Sheriff Dupnik said, and here’s CNN video: William Jacobson at Legal Insurrection has the documents from the criminal charges filed against Jared Loughner. But obviously, Sheriff Dupnik has a point. And I think we know who, more than anyone else in America, is responsible for unloading unspeakably hateful “vitriol” into the minds of […]

Late Entry in the ‘Stupidest Things Liberals Said in 2010’ Sweepstakes

Harvard-educated Ezra Klein updates Orwell’s famous maxim: “One has to work at The Washington Post to believe things like that. No ordinary man could be such a fool.” On MSNBC, Klein was asked about plans of the 112th Congress to read the Constitution aloud: “Yes, it’s a gimmick. I mean, you could say two things […]

And This Was Not Even Voted the Worst Keith Olbermann Rant of 2010

This was only good enough for second runner-up in the Media Research Center’s “Dumb and Dumber Award” category of its 23rd annual Notable Quotables competition: “[The Tea Party-backed Republicans are] a group of unqualified, unstable individuals who will do what they are told, in exchange for money and power, and march this nation as far […]

Why Ed Schultz Became a Liberal

Big hat-tip to the AOSHQ Headlines on this one. You sometimes hear conservative guys joke that liberal guys are liberal just because they want to score with liberal chicks. MSNBC’s firebrand “populist” is the punchline to that joke: He savors his skewering of the right, but there was a time when he was one of […]

Does Sarah Palin Need a Tutor? Would Richard Wolffe Volunteer for the Job?

Cubachi has a post about Richard Wolffe on Hardball with Chris Matthews, in which Wolffe ridiculed the British writer C.S. Lewis as a mere “children’s author”: Lewis was, of course, a master of Christian apologetics and a good friend of J.R.R. Tolkien — they were colleagues at Oxford University — with whom he shared a desire to […]

Awesome Awesomeness Update: MSNBC Host Rips Into Democrat Alan Grayson

Given that Alan Grayson is one of the most vile pieces of filth ever elected to Congress — but not re-elected, as he got stomped 56%-38% by Republican Daniel Webster last month — there can be no doubt that he deserved this abuse from MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell: Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and […]
