MSNBC: "Rick Santorum is a homophobe and a bigot! Let's call it what it is!"

[Amerigo Vespucci]

Just now on "Now With Alex Wagner"...they are not showing the names of her panel right now so I can't tell you who made the statement...the guy with the glasses, if you turn it on now.

Anyway, it was a GOLDEN moment.

1. I think I know who you mean -- what was the reaction/response from the panel? nt

[Amerigo Vespucci]

4. No one jumped on him...

...they just kept talking about the "I don't want to give black people other people's money" gaffe, but the freeper woman with the glasses (S.E. Cupp, the new Ann Coulter wannabe) kept saying those remarks were "taken out of context."

[think]

8. Agree. S.E. Cupp is Coultergiest II ...

[gateley]

9. Man, I hate that woman. She is SO irritating! I'd rather have Pat Buchanan back! nt

[Ratty]

10. I feel the same way about The Mclaughlin Group

I used to enjoy that show until they got whats-er-name Crowley on there. Something about her repulsed me to the point I could no longer watch it. I could tolerate Buchanan for some reason. Maybe unconscious sexism? Women have as much right to be dicks as men.

[gateley]

12. Buchanan is able to look at the politics objectively much of the time. People like this chick

are just the fingers-in-the-ears "I can't hear you" who only keep pushing the RW talking points. It seems as though Buchanan just pushes them when he actually agrees Buchanan seems to only do that when he actually agrees with something, and criticizes it when he doesn't.

2. I can't stand Santorum but wheter we like him or not that is his religious beliefs. I don't

think he needs to be in politics because of it.

[REP]

14. I don't need to "respect" homophobic, sexist and racist beliefs under the guise of "religion"

But thank you.

3. I saw it, I also saw the vapid host

roll her eyes. One of her equally vapid guests also thinks Newt "meant well" when he suggested kids replace custodians in schools.

[gratuitous]

6. Newt "meant well"; isn't that sweet?

Of course, neither the host nor her guest would ever have their precious little ones scrubbing toilets of their classmates' shit, but it's all right for other people's kids to get some practical, hands-on experience at it from an early age.

[KamaAina]

11. In NYC lingo, "he means well" is kind of a left-handed compliment.

Sort of like the South's "Well, bless your (li'l ole) heart!" (translation: fuck off and die in a fire).

[think]

5. Saw that too. Good for him. Wish they'd show the clips n/t

[closeupready]

7. And water is, surprisingly, wet.
