Joe Watkins just said that Rush Limbaugh "speaks truth to power"
on MSNBC...while discussing Limbo's disgusting comments about Pres. Obama being an "angry black man" with a "chip on his shoulder." There's no way Joe actually believes that (he smiled after saying it). I sure hope they're paying him enough... :eyes:

4. Why do I feel like I have to have a shower after I see him?
I wonder.

5. Schuster had a good comeback about Rush
I don't remember the exact words but it was something to the effect of telling lies and making them entertaining.

10. I thought Tamron Hall made the best comment.
She asked how Watkins could equate the bravery of police to the bravery of the junkie pedophile.

LOL!

16. Thanks! I missed that - I was doing other things and only caught some of the show
I really like the team of Tamron Hall and David Schuster. By himself Schuster is a little flat, but the two of them play off each other and tend to push the envelop a little more. It's nice to have an informative and enjoyable news show on in the afternoons.

15. Any dickhead can get an undeserved measure of respect....
if he can just put "Reverend" in front of his name.

7. Please don't kick me but President Obama does not have the right
profile to be an "angry black man". My family is a mixture of black, native American and white. His is black and white. He has learned from both sides and holds empathy for both sides. That is what I see in him when I hear him. That is what my family is like. The biracial children in this nation grow up to have a wider view of their world than the rest of us do. To suggest that they are angry is begging the question: At who? At which half of themselves?

9. 36 million black people in America
And the only ones we ever hear from on the popular media are this guy, Michael Steele and Ron Christie. Yeah, that's a representative sample.

12. The gas bag get paid mightily to spout neo-con
propoganda for his paymasters. (think cheney here) He's a man-whore for money. The Germans during WWII had something very similar.
