25. This reaction was soooo predictable...thank you MSNBC

May 2013

There was a time when Rachel and Ed were objective toward Obama. Then the run up to the election came and MSNBC morphed into Opposite-Fox, 24/7 Obama cheerleading. And now it's wrong to question the POTUS.

Both pathetic and predictable.

I mean, basically, you've stated that you trust a muckraker more than ANYONE in the current admin MrScorpio May 2013 #14
Did you think Greenwald was a "muckraker" when he was criticizing Dubya and Cheney? Fumesucker May 2013 #21
He lost me during that time when he was daily accusing Obama of running an anti-gay administration MrScorpio May 2013 #24
You do know Glenn was living in Brazil at that time because his partner was not allowed in the US? Fumesucker May 2013 #33
Well, if anything, that leaves GG open to an accusation of losing his objectivity about the Prez MrScorpio May 2013 #35
No one is completely objective Fumesucker May 2013 #40
My problem during that time was his insistence that HE KNEW Obama's mind MrScorpio May 2013 #46
Obama himself said he was against gay marriage. Fumesucker May 2013 #50
He equated Obama's equivocal mindset with what he depicted what his policy would be MrScorpio May 2013 #53
Obama was against gay marriage *at* *the* *time* Fumesucker May 2013 #57
Some of us still do not and will not ever trust this administration on that score. Occulus May 2013 #99
yeah how dare he call an adminstration anti gay while it was dsc May 2013 #141
IS this administration anti-gay? nt MrScorpio May 2013 #143
it was certainly a fair question back then dsc May 2013 #149
I never held to the premise of what GG was saying: MrScorpio May 2013 #158
Note to Mr and Mrs Scorpio: DOMA is still the law of the land. Nothing has 'turned out Bluenorthwest May 2013 #170
And, yes, it's still an ongoing process, I admit that MrScorpio May 2013 #173
But you have no compunction about using language that suggests resolution. You say the 'outcome' Bluenorthwest May 2013 #214
I have to say on the Obama administration's performance on gay issues my take is closer to greenwald dsc May 2013 #174
It was. Would it still be if not for every last person who called him out on it? Yes. Yes. Bluenorthwest May 2013 #160
Yet, one could think that Obama actually betrayed Warren and McClurkin… MrScorpio May 2013 #166
That does not even make sense. When a person appoints a surrogate that is what it is. Bluenorthwest May 2013 #172
Let's consider that Obama's interaction with both of those ministers… MrScorpio May 2013 #181
So hate speech against good people you excuse with a thousand words, criticism of a politician who Bluenorthwest May 2013 #213
Why on Earth would we assume a person can't be one way in one situation and different in another? patrice May 2013 #36
