4. The fool is still saying "Star Wars" works. I'd like to know how much money
he has invested in defense.

16. I think it only works
in tests where they know the time and direction of the missle in advance. I doubt N. Korea or anyone else who might be so inclined to try to fire off a missle at us (and I doubt very much any country would be that foolish) would be giving us that info ahead of time.

It is a huge boondoggle and an enormous waste of money. If the Repubs want to cut discretionary spending they should start with any funding that goes to this nonsense.

6. That goes for many of the gopers I know this day and age.
Speaking with such self assurance and in such an authoritative manner does not mean anything you have to say has any validity at all.

13. Recently heard of a study showing blowhards come out on top...
not because they are right but becuase they talk louder and with more assurance. Those of us who realize that we are not omniscient get steamrolled by assholes like him who don't care if they have the facts.

3. for people who didn't watch
some highlights: In his speech today, Obama was speaking in "code" to our "Muslim enemies" that we will "submit to them" . And Frank brought up the wingnuttery talking point about the Saudi bow. And he kept opining about a "world without America" in regards to N Korea.

7. I find it hilarious...
That the Left was smacked down as "conspiracy theorists" every time we uttered one thing about BushCo controlling the media, our money, etc., and here we have the nuttiest, stupidest wingnuttery crapola ever imaginable coming from the sam crowd.

They are whack!

8. How insane was that??? The Taliban received the code words,
the Pres intends to submit to Sharia Law. We Americans should learn the code to understand what the Obama agenda is. :crazy:

10. He seriously used the "code" B.S.??? And, "the bow"??
What did Shuster say? Was there anyone countering him?

I guess I'm still somewhat naive. I thought after that nut killed three cops in Pittsburgh this weekened, there was a chance some of these RWers would chill out with their incendiary rhetoric.

Guess I was wrong. Their party is failing and this is the only card they have left in the deck??

I'm getting sick of this shit. Someone need to call them out or maybe Matthews and his producers will grow a conscience and start limiting how much air time these fanatics get.

12. Yes, he used 'code' and the bow. David Corn was opposite him,
but Gaffney was talking over everyone. Shuster tried to counter, but Gaffney went on and on...

It was really an insane conversation. I agree - MSNBC should not have lunatics on spewing insanity instead of legitimate discussions (and this includes another Hardball favorite, Cliff May).

14. after Frank let the "code" BS out of the bag
Corn tried to counter him, but Frank kept interrupting every time...Shuster tried to get him to clarify too, but he was just not letting anyone else talk at that point. Shuster said something sarcastic to David Corn like "Yes, it's the fault of you and your liberal friends, David!" The next segment was on nutty Republicans getting violent with their "Obama's going to take away your guns" paranoia, and Shuster was pretty good there.

19. I personally don't find this stuff funny anymore. I fear some idiot in this country
may try to do something stupid to the President. This is really dangerous talk. Just calling them RW nuts like Shuster tries to do isn't enough. The sad thing is I see very few liberals out there fighting back against this nonsense
