MSNBC WATCH: Lawrence O’Donnell interviews Jimmy McMillan, has no idea he ran for NYC mayor twice
By: barrypopik (Diary) | October 20th at 12:37 AM |
LAWRENCE O’DONNELL: Isn’t it (rent) more of a New York City issue? Did you consider running for mayor instead of governor? Meet internet sensation Jimmy McMillan of The Rent Is Too Damn High party. He’s running for New York governor. He ran for New York City mayor in 2005 and again in 2009. You’d think O’Donnell’s crack staff would do a basic bio of McMillan and | Read More »
MSNBC WATCH: Rachel Maddow interviews Meghan McCain (again)
By: barrypopik (Diary) | October 19th at 02:28 AM |
RACHEL MADDOW: So much of the right’s defense of her (Sarah Palin) has been defending her from supposedly sexist attacks on the left. This Rachel Maddow and this Meghan McCain are really, really smart people. They must be. They’re on tv. “Supposedly sexist attacks from the left.” Rachel, Rachel, Rachel. Are you deaf, dumb and blind? You don’t remember anything of what’s happened these past | Read More »
MSNBC WATCH: Lawrence O’Donnell changes interview terms on Ron Paul, praises next guest Alvin Greene
By: barrypopik (Diary) | October 11th at 11:54 PM |
MSNBC WATCH, because somebody has to. On Wednesday, September 29th, I panned the new MSNBC show, “The Last Word” with Lawrence O’Donnell. On Saturday, October 9th, I commented that Rachel Maddow had begged Republicans to come on her show, and when one did (Art Robinson of Oregon), she gave a totally unfair interview, then savaged him the next day, when he wasn’t present. Another Republican | Read More »
MSNBC’s “Lean Forward” promo cites Declaration of Independence, leaves out “endowed by their Creator”
By: barrypopik (Diary) | October 11th at 10:32 PM |
Why do liberals have a problem with the line “endowed by their Creator”? From Archiving Early America: Declaration of Independence Here is the complete text of the Declaration of Independence. The original spelling and capitalization have been retained. (Adopted by Congress on July 4, 1776) The Unanimous Declaration of the Thirteen United States of America When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary | Read More »
Rachel Maddow’s blog bans my post (And she wonders why Republicans don’t appear on her show?)
By: barrypopik (Diary) | October 9th at 08:02 PM |
Rachel Maddow can dish it out, but she can’t take it. About a week ago, she said that Tip O’Neill probably coined “All Politics Is Local” back in the 1930s. We’ve long known that Tip O’Neill himself denied coinage. There was no correction and no response to my scholarship. Hey, it’s only national tv. After the Rand Paul interview, Rachel Maddow wondered why no other | Read More »
TV REVIEW: MSNBC’s “The Last Word” with Lawrence O’Donnell is terrible!
By: barrypopik (Diary) | September 29th at 01:06 AM |
He’s (Obama’s) bashed Fox a number of times, but maybe it fires up the base. On the same day, the White House practically endorsed MSNBC, with Deputy Press Secretary Bill Burton saying: “If you’re on the left, if you’re somebody like Keith Olbermann or Rachel Maddow or one of the folks who helps to keep our government honest and pushes and prods to make sure | Read More »
Origin of “All Politics Is Local” (attention Rachel Maddow)
By: barrypopik (Diary) | September 28th at 03:28 AM |
“Republicans are running nationally. Democrats are running locally. Which is why, even if you’ve never heard of Scott McAdams, you sure as heck have heard of Joe Miller. It is quite possible you have never heard of Chris Coons, but you have definitely heard of Christine O’Donnell. Even if you onl get your news from Saturday Night Live. I do not raise this issue in | Read More »
BigOilMoney.org creates the most offensive ad (or, Soros uses a military death to push his anti-American agenda)
By: barrypopik (Diary) | September 27th at 10:17 PM |
An ad for BigOilMoney.org has been playing on a news channel twice in two shows tonight. It uses an Iraq war death in an incredibly offensive way. Daily Kos kid Dante Zappala tells us that his brother was killed in Iraq. I’m sorry about this death. However, Dante Zappala then looks right out at you and says that we must stop big oil because his | Read More »
Origin of the term “Ground Zero Mosque” (or. listen up, 60 Minutes)
By: barrypopik (Diary) | September 26th at 11:23 PM |
60 Minutes did a story on Sunday called The People Behind The Mosque. Several typical 60 Minutes “shortcuts” disturbed me. Pamela Geller was introduced. She runs a blog called Atlas Shrugs. I don’t know how you can do a story about her and not say the words “Atlas Shrugs,” but I sure didn’t hear them. I heard that Geller runs a blog that “mixes news.opinion. | Read More »
Origin of “Hippie Punching”
By: barrypopik (Diary) | September 25th at 05:22 AM |
Moe Lane did a post on a new term to him — “Hippie Punching.” I could research every term in the American political language and post it all right here on RedState and he still won’t know who I am and what I’ve done. It’s very frustrating. Moe, just drop a line! My name is Barry Popik, but you can call me Rodney Dangerfield. I | Read More »
