David Gregory trying his best to find something Markos Moulitsas disagrees with Obama on

[jenmito]

He's interviewing Markos right now, and sadly for the Repubs., Markos is saying "the left" is behind Obama, Obama's not going to LOSE them, and Obama's NOT "moving to the center" like the media is trying to portray. He DID say he wasn't happy with the FISA vote, but that there are surprisingly FEW issues "the left" disagree with Obama on. Gregory kept pressing him, though, asking if Obama could win without "the left," and Markos said he's not GOING to lost the left. "But what about and ?" Sadly for Gregory, he didn't get the "rift in the party" that he was looking for.

1. A new day ..new shit to make

up about Obama..the souless life of a mediawhore.

[jenmito]

15. Yup...

but what else is new?

[librechik]

2. can't wait to get that precious "the left is in disarray!" headline

Gregory is a disgrace.

[jenmito]

16. By his tease, he sounded like Markos was going to talk about how unhappy he and "the left" are with

Obama. :eyes:

[snowbear]

3. Gregory looked ticked.. Wanted Kos to say the left are mad at Obama..

Gregory was looking for ANYTHING..

But Kos said that while we may not agree with Obama on everything, he's our candidate and we support him.

Poor David...

[jenmito]

17. Yup. But he failed...

Kos did a great job.

[sniffa]

4. I just googled "kos cia"

Because I remember when that made its run on DU some time ago. Man, there's some people (or one adamant guy) that really, really hate the guy.

The anti-Kos youtube account is truthout(somestringofnumbers). Is it a truthout person? :shrug:

Off topic yes, but watching him made me think of it.

[DarthDem]

6. There are a lot of Democrats

. . . who don't like Kos for various reasons, among them that he's a self-serving blowhard. However, glad to see he didn't rise to David Gregory's bait.

[qazplm]

10. every human being

who ever lived is "self serving"

Blowhard would describe just about anyone who writes with the intent to convince a large audience.

Not exactly persuasive criticism of anyone.

[DarthDem]

21. Um, No

If self-serving and blowhard described everyone, the terms wouldn't (presumably) exist. We may have differing standards.

[qazplm]

26. all sorts of terms

exist that are used indiscriminately or excessively or are nonsensical.

[snowbear]

7. You're right.. you are off topic.

The point KOS made was that DEMOCRATS ARE SUPPORTING OUR CANDIDATE.

Why make it a "HATE Kos" thread?

[sniffa]

8. Yes, I'm right

Thanks for noticing. :hi:

[snowbear]

11. I know you're "right"... Because you're sure as Hell not "LEFT"...

20. Sure, whatever that means

:hug:

[SoFlaJet]

5. It's on here...

and Gregory just keeps getting worse and worse...now he's quoting Krauthammer's criticism of Obama

[jenmito]

23. I couldn't believe that article they used...

as if Krauthammer's an objective writer.

[Rowdyboy]

9. Beautiful interview....Marcos handled him brilliantly....Gregory did his damndest

to play up the "angry left" and couldn't get a break. Notice once the interview was over the topic was dropped.

[kevinmc]

12. yep .. and he still tries and twists what Markos said .... can't stand the Pundits.

No is never NO to them.

[TheDonkey]

13. Race to the WH is complete trash. I unfortunately watched the entire episode

it was like a train wreck. That "Today" show producer aka McSame shillbot is beyond disgusting. That other conservative woman is/has always been a disaster. Gregory himself is a clown. I felt bad for Maddow having to be involved in that circus of stupidity.

[ErinBerin84]

18. I turned it on a couple of times, I felt bad for Rachel's "troubled" expressions when

someone was spouting BS. And wtf was up with that Republican woman saying "Let's face it, if Barack Obama received any MORE positive press at this point, he would be Rachel Maddow."

[writes3000]

19. She said WHAT??? How dare she?

Let me guess - no one stuck up for Rachel.

[ErinBerin84]

22. The woman was starting to go off about how the press should give "equal time" to McCain

during the trip, and Rachel said "Do you really think that people are going to find Mccain's economic speeches as newsworthy as Obama's overseas trip?" and then she started to argue the fair coverage vs equal coverage thing, and the woman said that line..(she tried to play it off like a joke, maybe referencing the recent NYT article, but come on, way to try and change the subject). Rachel laughed to be polite, and the segment conveniently ended when Rachel started to further make her point. I noticed that the segments often conveniently "end" when Rachel is starting to make her point. Grrr.

[TheDonkey]

29. That republican woman was a real mess

almost threatening some sort of riots across America is the media didn't give EQUAL time to McSame's pathetic economic speeches. He little dig at Maddow was just stupid. She was trying to be funny but it didn't even make much sense.

[jenmito]

24. She apparently meant it as a compliment and Rachel took it that way. n/t

[Raine]

34. Rachel laughed it off and

said "Thank you" ;-) Rachel is pure class and knows how to handle herself she doesn't need anyone to stick up for her. :thumbsup:

[Sparkly]

14. I loved all the hypotheticals...

Along with "what if the left doesn't vote for Obama," he asked, "What if Obama went to Iraq and said we were going to leave but then got word from General David Petraeus (as opposed to General Sam Petraeus) that we had to stay? What would he do?"

I was waiting for, "What if he's actually a martian and the blogosphere launches an anti-martian protest and his feet turn into wheels?"

:crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

[jenmito]

28. I'm glad you heard it...

and Mike Barnicle was on this morning asking, "Is Obama's trip overseas part of his 'shift to the middle' and will that anger his base?" :eyes:

[TheDonkey]

31. Race for the WH should be renamed. "Concern Trolls spew hypotheticals about Obama"

:puke:

[SoFlaJet]

36. I keep waiting for someone to say it

and REALIZE that one of the first people to go under an Obama sea change will BE General Petraeus or however you spell his name

[Cali_Democrat]

25. Here's the video....

[jenmito]

30. Thanks! Did you see the title under the video? "Kos-Obama's always going to know where we stand"

to try to get people to think maybe there IS a rift in the party. :eyes:

[mucifer]

27. I wonder if Gregory is losing it because Rachel is gonna steal his show.

Just a theory. I know from the ny times she's getting her own tv show. I'm just hoping she can steal gregory's time slot.

[jenmito]

32. I really think and hope that'll be the case since his whole show is based on the

election which will end Nov.

[grantcart]

38. Well he never had it to lose - just a little "eager beaver" with no substance.

He doesn't even listen to his guest

[Major Hogwash]

33. Where's that video of Gregory dancing with Rove on stage in Washington?

Gregory is one of them.

[jenmito]

35. Here ya go:

[Barack_America]

37. It's so annoying when puppets don't behave...

"I'm a real boy" and all that bullshit.

;)

[Tutonic]

39. AAR and Maddow need to nix Race for the Whitehouse. Gregory

has asked his six questions in at least 25 different ways and now he is starting to repeat himself. We understand that Barack Obama is a scary black man and that it gets worse when you thrown in his Mao Mao wifey but come on--Maddow is doing the Democratic party a big disservice by allowing this guy to throw his junk at Obama every day. I rad that Brit Hume is stepping down from his post at FOx--now perhaps Gregory can jump to FOX, collect a salary and feel justified in berating Obama.
