Tweety tells RNC PR BS to his face that Mitt's playing the race card

THE SCORECARD:

RNC PR BS dances (Expected)

Dead Intern gets defensive (Expected)

Brokaw plays the "Oh, Romney told a joke, he didn't mean to play the race card" (Bull shit)

Mika and Willie sit quietly while Tweety goes after RNC PR BS's jugular. (Oh well)


Is Brokaw a Republican, or is he just too fucking clueless about what the GOP is up to?

Loved seeing him go off script! He put some life into a very dull show and the rest of them were left speechless. And, BTW, where is he now?

Instead of calling it like it is (where the GOP is using thinly veiled racial coding on Obama, "welfare, birtherism" --it would be like calling a Jewsih person "money grubbing and cheap&quot Brokaw finds a way to make things equal in terms of rancor. Brokaw failed miserably and it was a glaring error on how he tried to make the GOP look "less worse" on this. Fact of the matter, the people that cheered Romney got the message that he was tweaking Obama's birth certificate. I would have more respect for the GOP if they would have simply admitted what they did.

Chris Matthew did exactly what the media should be doing to BOTH sides, asking the hard questions of the candidate and his surrogates. Scab wanted to pussyfoot at the convention and to his credit, Matthews wasn't having any parts of it.

withdrew...he had no defense! Yes!

Brokaw is too good to get into a good fight...just passed on the party line of the 'joke' thing as his only explanation of Romney's race card play. Loved it when Chris asked him what was funny about the 'joke' and dead silence followed from Brokaw until Joe says the word 'hurricane' and nervous laughter ensued...good going Chris!
