Maher Attacks Times, Chris Matthews over Weiner/Spitzer
<snip>
On his Friday night HBO program “Real Time,” Bill Maher harshly criticized The New York Times and MSNBC “Hardball” host Chris Matthews for their denunciations of former New York Democratic Gov. Eliot Spitzer and former New York Democrat Rep. Anthony Weiner.
Maher first attacked the Times, noting that while it will make comparisons to these candidates past indiscretions and reality TV star Kim Kardashian’s life, the Times remains fascinated with those lifestyles.

''“My friend Chris Matthews, I like him a lot. I see him endlessly talking about how awful — he went on and on for a whole year about his book about John F. Kennedy. He loves Bill Clinton. Never stops kissing his ass. Those two guys did things way worse. I mean, Kennedy was so much more reckless. He was screwing the mafia mistress, East German spies, 19-year-old White House secretaries two at a time in the pool. Bill Clinton, Paula Jones and Kathleen Willey — true, you know, sexual harassment. There just seems to be no sort of consistency in the media.”"

Anthony Weiner - Canidate or Prophet?
<snip>
Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) said on Tuesday that the Obama administration is "half-pregnant" with health insurers and pharmaceutical companies, which may jeopardize the success of reform.
The congressman -- who is a leading liberal voice in the healthcare reform debate -- said that rumored deals the White House has struck with big pharmaceutical companies and insurers may guide them to abandon key elements of reform, such as a public health insurance option.
"The Obama administration is trying to be, I don't know how to put it, half-pregnant with the insurance industry and the pharmaceutical companies," he told WNYC Radio today. "They're to some degree the source of our problem."

It is my observation that most who oppose Anthony Weiner are to the right of him on the issues.
Anyone who thinks as I do and would love to see a real progressive beat the corporate smear machine, stop talking and send 5 or 10 bucks to Anthony. Donation button iis on his website, I believe it is Anthony Weiner - Keys to the City". 
Question - HOW MUCH WOULD YOU GIVE TO SEE OBAMA LIGHT UP THE HOUSE RETHUGS LIKE THIS?
THINK ABOUT IT - AND SEND THAT MUCH TO ANTHONY!
= new reply since forum marked as read
.... the more money the rethugs spend on demonizing Weiner, the less they have to spend against other democrats
no wonder insurance and big pharma want him gone
Vowing to “make New York City the single-payer laboratory in the country” if he is elected mayor, Anthony D. Weiner on Thursday presented an ambitious plan to create a Medicare-like system for the coverage of municipal workers, retirees and uninsured immigrant residents left out of the Affordable Care Act.

Anthony D. Weiner
DemocratFollow the Race Mr. Weiner, a Democrat who championed a Medicare-for-all style of health care as a congressman, said his plan could curb the rise of $15.5 billion in city spending on health care and save money for raises for teachers and other workers, mainly by using the city’s muscle to reduce the profits or the role of private insurance companies.

.. for wasting your time.
but only if he can stand firm in the face of stiff opposition! 
he looks like a threat to the insurance crooks and big pharma
... to be on the "right" side of any issue!
we have a winner!
The Clinton years were the best of my life. And, Bill Clinton performed the wedding ceremony for Anthony and Huma.
And the same folks who brought us the "Arkansas project" to destroy Clinton are the ones who seek to destroy Weiner - and in doing so, seek to destroy US.
give me a few days to mourn the self destruction of so much potential. I won't be posting any more Weiner threads, and I may change my tune. Thank you, by the way, for the very informative op you posted this morning with the info on the candidates.
