New DNC ad 'Stealing Democracy' has Joe S. apoplectic. He rightly thinks it will hurt Republicans.
On 'Morning Joe,' MSNBC's Nora O'Donnell pointed out that Republican outside groups were outspending Democrats by a wide margin (reportedly 8 to 1). And, Mika said all the Chamber of Commerce has to do is open their books, and the question would be answered. 'Bully boy' Joe, of course, would have none of that.

2. Well if republican operatives complain....
then of course we should withdraw the ad, in the spirit of bipartisan cooperation.

3. He got pissed when Norah O'Donnell pushed back
on his false equivalency. He wouldn't be getting this upset if the Dems didn't have a good case.

4. Norah needles him on other stuff too. This is n't the first time I've seen her do it.
I knew when he started talking over Mika that he was mad cuz the game was up and he knew it!

5. Norah was great. She's not afraid to ask tough questions and get answers to her questions.

7. He walked off the show for an hour after that and
didn't return until Norah had gone.

6. Moron Joe should be on ESPN reporting on Little League scores, not MSNBC
He is 98% off the mark on issues or just proving his ever-loving alliance to the GOP.

9. And Chuck Todd said it was very "McCarthy-esq" because we have NO proof that
foreign money is in our elections and how dare David Axelrod go on tv & say that - we don't know for sure.

I have been one of the few people on DU that have said I liked Chuck - even tho he can be an ass.
Not any more!

Fuck you Todd and your constant need to bring Democrats down. Maybe Fox has a job for you!

10. Chuck Todd is worse than Morning Joe as far as I'm concerned, with his "pretend objectivity"
Sounds like this ad has the creeps on the run.

11. If he is comparing - in a round about way -the President to McCarthy - should we stand for this?
I'm starting to go from simmering pissed to extremely angry that this comparison was made.

12. Chuck uses his position to push Right Wing Propaganda.
He's a tool and always has been.

15. The cautious nature of this White House
guarantees that they wouldn't have gone with this line unless they had absolute proof that foreign money was influencing our elections.

They hit a BIG nerve with this adbuy.

He has the journalistic instincts of Joseph Goebbels.

14. Joe pointed out how much money Obama received last election...
And he saw no distinction that the sources for his money were reported. And that the Repubs are not reporting where their money is coming from. Big difference Joe!

18. That's why he got mad at Mika. She asked for transparency from the
repubs like the Dems have to. He was flummoxed....LOL. He said so.

21. The secret is out, Scumbarrow:
Repukes can only "win" by one or more of the following:

1) lying
2) cheating
3) stealing

22. The fact still remains
if these organizations open the books this would all be over. You see Rupert Murdoch thought he gave his million dollars in secret.

23. If Joe and Rove are so apolplectic about this, it's definitely
because they know it will hurt the Repukes.

Let me see if I understand this . . . it's okay to have unidenitifed foreign companies donating unlimited amounts of money to U.S. elections, but it's "beyond the pale" to tell anyone about it.

Go fuck yourselves boys.

:smoke:

24. This is a very good reason
to open your checkbooks and help Democratic groups keep this ad, and other ads going. This, and GOTV efforts are our only hope. Contributions help to fund GOTV as well.
