What is wrong with these Fuckers?

[grantcart]

May be the first time I have used this word at DU, I try to be temperate in speech.

Here Jeffery Lord, a mindless sycophantic bloviating idiot that CNN employs compares Donald Trump to Dr. Martin Luther King.

If you thought that comparisons with Hitler was the bottom of the barrel these idiots have drilled through the floor are heading to the Earth core with Dr. King comparisons.

What is wrong with these people? What sociopathic or psychological disease motivates these people. I could only read a few words and listen for a few seconds to the video.

These are the most shameless scoundrels to have showed their face since the KKK.

CNN if you keep this man you have trivialized yourself into meaningless dribble.

1. K & R Great post!!!!

[VigilantG]

2. Same here OP

I had to walk away from the TV. I can't believe CNN keeps Lord CrazyTime on. There has got to be some kind of line drawn with these crazy Trump surrogates. Blurs the line of being objective or balanced versus complicit with fake news to hear those surrogates speaking. Cheese and rice, are they all on President Putin's payroll?

[LOL Lib]

3. LOL at Lord CrazyTime. He is in the top 5

Surrogates that drove me to boycott CNN.

[grantcart]

4. I didn't watch it but saw the provocative title on CNN.com

[LOL Lib]

8. I can't bring myself to listen to his delusional ramblings.

He is like nails on a chalk board. Lewandowski, skeletor Barbie Conjob, Boris, Kayleigh McEnany, and that bootlicker with the bullet necklace are too much. Life is too short to listen to those pinheads.

[VigilantG]

16. And

Paris Dennard(sp?)
Jason Miller
And wasn't Roger Stone one of their analysts for a while like right after you left the Trump campaign?

[busterbrown]

21. CNN uses Lord for ratings and interest..

Even I must admit.. I love it when a fast talking smart Progressive tears Lord’s ass apart.
Really I do.. If everyone was on the same page with all guests tearing Trump apart it wouldn’t be as interesting!

[VigilantG]

9. I cannot watch that man

And I too have been limiting my CNN airtime due to the Trump ignorant repugnant supporters tgey signed on.

I am constantly flipping the channels or surfing different sites to get the varying perspectives.

When I tell my Fox watching or Drudge Report reading friends that I often watch BBC, RT or Al Jazeera (to name a few) they think I'm the one who's lost my mind! 😳😹🤔

You cannot say anything contrary to what they "know to be true" when it comes to anything Trump.

[iluvtennis]

23. I haven't completed boycotted, but when Lord, Kayleigh, the other ones show up, I switch the channel

as they are so disingenuous. I can't understand why CNN keeps putting them on...nah, I know why, it's the ratings baby. GAH

[Zambero]

5. I have a nightmare

Hopefully the orange savior in this night terror come true will never make it to the "promised land".

[BadgerMom]

6. I saw this posted on kos today

My thought was why on earth does CNN give this jerk a platform? He is who he is and won't change and, I'm certain, is unable to reflect on his own foolishness. What excuse does CNN have?

[luvMIdog]

7. Trump is the antithesis of Martin Luther King

Evidently if you give a baboon lots of cash they compare it to all the great leaders of the world & they can no longer see the baboon.

[grantcart]

26. Its like we went from Lincoln as President to John Wilkes Booth as President

And then they said they were so similar that they could have been twins.

[Akamai]

10. They are the true distillation of hate, of uncaring treatment of others. Republican leaders are evil

truly, truly evil. Or am I wrong?

Tell me when these asshats ever do anything to support the average person?

[3catwoman3]

11. The only attribute shared by the Reverend Dr. King...

...and pRezident Trumplethinskin is a Y chromosome.

[6000eliot]

12. They are deranged morons. Problem solved!

[Chevy]

13. I blame the Hadron Collider

Once it was turned on for that short time it scrambled everything.

[grantcart]

25. Works for me lol

[keithbvadu2]

14. Consider what the conservatives have said about MLK over the years. -- Not glowing praise

[Javaman]

15. you want to know who they are?

turn on your public access tv and you will see.

what the orange menace has done is given a national platform to all the nut job fringe morons who used to spout their brand of bullshit in the tiny corners of the media.

[sheshe2]

17. Jeffery Lord looks like a corpse.

Much like the rest of the GOP. I have to mute when that ass speaks.

In other words, whether he knows it or not (and I suspect not) President Trump is using Dr. King's strategy -- in Dr. King's own words --"to create a situation so crisis-packed that it will inevitably open the door to negotiation."In Dr. King's day, the objective was negotiation that would lead to the passage of civil rights legislation. Today, President Trump is using the threat of crisis to negotiate his stated objective of legislation to repeal and replace Obamacare. Different goals, yes. But the strategy of creating a crisis to obtain a specific legislative outcome is exactly the same.

He has the audacity to compare trump to King. FFS! King was fighting to allow men and women of color their basic...BASIC civil rights. That they would be equal under the law to vote. To be a recognized person. To be an equal to all men and women. Dump wants to take healthcare away from millions. He wants them to die as quickly and painfully as possible. Lord can go ef himself. See the difference Lord? No, of course you don't you are a stupid POS and soulless bastard.

[Generic Brad]

18. He is one of the reasons I have stopped watching CNN

Truth does not need a counterpoint. Reality does not need to be held as the equal to tall tales.

CNN has become diseased and they need to purge the bald faced liars and racists they have given voice to. The only credibility they have undermined is their own.

[hibbing]

19. Corporate media

What used to be a moderate republican is now represented as a flaming liberal, and what used to be considered batshit crazy is now a conservative commentator.


Peace

[certainot]

20. just listen to one of the 1200 or so rw talk radio stations once in a while

republiconradio.org

[AllaN01Bear]

22. i heard about that and had a fit. trump like mlk. pppplease .

[erpowers]

24. Everyone Wants To Be Associated With Good

Jeffery Lord is trying to prevent people from criticizing President Trump by comparing him to Martin Luther King Jr. Lord realizes that Dr. King is very popular. Most people do not criticize Dr. King and those that do are either not taken seriously, or criticized. Lord is pretty much so saying people cannot criticize Donald Trump because he is just like Dr. King. Lord is attempting to put forward the idea that to criticize Trump is to criticize Dr. King.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

27. Good grief. I read his self-defense in the article.

He could have compared MLK to Hitler along similar lines!

What an idiot! I can't stand that guy, and I wish CNN would quit giving him airtime.

[Cha]

28. yeah, right.. trump is mindless idiot and

Martin Luther King was an intelligent, compassionate fighter for civil rights.

[vlyons]

29. I decided long ago to change the channel

when these creepy cruds show up on my TV. Why should I subject myself to the vulgarity, stupidity, and immorality of anything Trump? I'm better than that. Those people give me the creeps. Actually feel my distaste for them crawling up my spine to the back of my neck. A very unpleasant sensation.

30. Little Lord Jeffrey

One of the biggest idiots currently on television.

31. In the realm of Marketing, this is called Re-Branding

Rebranding is a marketing strategy in which a new name, term, symbol, design, or combination thereof is created for an established brand with the intention of developing a new, differentiated identity in the minds of consumers, investors, competitors, and other stakeholders.[1][2] Often, this involves radical changes to a brand's logo, name, legal names, image, marketing strategy, and advertising themes. Such changes typically aim to reposition the brand/company, occasionally to distance itself from negative connotations of the previous branding, or to move the brand upmarket; they may also communicate a new message a new board of directors wishes to communicate.

Rebranding can be applied to new products, mature products, or even products still in development. The process can occur intentionally through a deliberate change in strategy or occur unintentionally from unplanned, emergent situations, such as a "Chapter 11 corporate restructuring," "union busting," or "bankruptcy." Rebranding can also refer to a change in a company/ corporate brand that may own several sub-brands for products or companies.

32. Well, welcome to the Dark Side

Sometimes only precise language will do and oftentimes that language is not pretty.

My own perception says those fuckers are all drunk on dogma and gaining power.
