March 10, 201016 yr Guess what would have happened if Limbaugh, Hannity, Palin had said this? I think this happened this past Sunday. A guy asked me at work today about and I told him I hadn't even heard about it.
March 10, 201016 yr Well, not the best choice of words, but Matthews did see that and quickly moved the discussion forward.
March 11, 201016 yr Author I know but the point being if anyone from the right had said it would have been big news.
March 11, 201016 yr I know but the point being if anyone from the right had said it would have been big news. Correct, someone would have lost a job.
March 11, 201016 yr There is no outrage because other than using a bad analogy, that he has apologized for, Mr. Rather is correct. The administration can not get things DONE. Since alot of what they want are things bad for the US that is OK in many cases. But this lack of ability will hurt in many areas that we all need success - think national defense. Lets look at the record of things that the administration wanted and failed: Chicago Olympic bid - failed Heavy campagning for Virginia Gov Race - failed Heavy campaigning for NJ Gov Race - failed Campaigning for Mass special election - failed HC done by end of summer - failed HC done by end of the year - failed KSM civilian trial in NY - failed Cap and trade - failed Iran containment - failed Stimulas package to keep unenployment below 8% - failed TSA nomination - failed Van Jones Czar appointment - failed If this administration was a craps table the safer bet would be the "Dont pass" line.
March 11, 201016 yr Author It is more than a bad analogy. Remember what happen when Fuzzy Zeller said something along the same lines about Tiger Woods?
March 11, 201016 yr I know but the point being if anyone from the right had said it would have been big news.You are absolutely spot on, nWo! Conservatives are held to a higher standard and expected to conduct themselves in a more professional manner. If I were a liberal, I would have a problem with the fact that those on the left are expected to act like children and those on the right are expected to act like adults but no one ever seems to want to call the left out. The media should be making quite the issue out of this, but once again it falls on deaf ears.

Don't let the non passage of regulations fool you, ... this is going to be making a big comeback. The bill is being rewritten as we speak. The government is going to need more money to pay for the increased expenditures and taxing coal fired plants will be one way to do it.
March 11, 201016 yr Jimmy the Greek/Al Campounus (SP) Dodger GM/Don Imus of course Fuzzy all had the lives changed by their statements. Dan is an old man and needs to find him a summer home and retire.
March 11, 201016 yr I recall a rather large amount of backlash from the Donkeys when Republican Rep. Goof Davis called Obama "boy". Where are they at on this one?
March 11, 201016 yr Stupid remark ,thats where this conservative Democrat is on this . He's Getting senile I guess . Oh and I love Watermelons as does my 2 yr old grandaughter .
March 11, 201016 yr Author How is this offensive? In the past it was used as a put down towards blacks. Saying all they eat is fried chicken and watermelons. I know so older blacks that will not eat watermelon because of this.
March 11, 201016 yr Author I left this part out. It is a racial sterotype that was used to demean black people. Just like the use of the word monkey to describe a black person. It meant that we were sub-human and had low intelligence.
