Charles Pierce CALLS OUT S.E. Cupp For Her Colossal IDIOCY

I've already expressed my disdain for this woman and the fact that MSNBC gave her a spot co-hosting a show here -- S.E. Cupp Defends Disenfranchising Millions of Voters as Solution to 86 Cases of Voter Fraud. Apparently Esquire's Charles Pierce isn't any more fond of her than I am.

http://videocafe.crooksandliars.com/heather/se-cupp-defends-disenfranchising-millions-o



S.E. Cupp Is a Colossal Idiot:






In case you've missed it, MSNBC has compensated for the loss of Dylan Ratigan in the afternoon by moving Martin Bashir to 4 p.m. Eastern, and filling Bashir's old 3 p.m. slot with something called The Cycle, which is kind of Around The Horn for young pundits. The regular cast includes the younger generation among MSNBC's apparently inexhaustible reservoir of Political Analysts. These include Krystal Ball, Steve Kornacki, Touré, and S.E. Cupp and, this afternoon, as the program was winding down, Ms. Cupp spent a good four minutes being, weight for age, the dumbest person in the history of cable television:

To review: Talking about the president's tax proposal, Ms. Cupp rather loosely termed the president's tax policy "collectivist." (And, yes, both Mao and Stalin laughed uproariously as their spits turned over the flames of hell.) Kornacki gently reminded her that an increase in the marginal income tax tax rate is a lot of things — including, to my mind, a pretty good idea, but no matter — but it is in no way "collectivist," if English words have any meaning in, you know, English.

Read on...

MSNBC really needs to rethink why they want to have this woman on the air... ever... at all... as a host or a guest. She lowers the IQ in the room when she enters it and sucks most of the oxygen out as well. I'm not sure how anyone ever possibly comes out better or smarter for the experience of being forced to maintain a dialog with her.

But, S.E. Cupp is irrational and illogical... She lost me last week when she admitted that she was an atheist, but would never want to see an atheist as president... because she thought a president should believe in "something bigger than themselves."

Yeah, and her argument about coming up with a solution for 86 "voter fraud" cases left me flummoxed.

Since I don't watch those shows, I'm going to have to wait until she's been taken into custody (police or mental health) to find out.

Wait! What? Are you serious? She's an atheist? Why did she write a book called "Losing Our Religion: The Liberal Media's Attack on Christianity?"

Wow, these people will say anything for a paycheck! OMG!

She doesn't like other atheists because she feels they try to destroy other beliefs. I must admit some atheists are a bit too evangelical for my taste... I do believe that humans evolved a innate propensity for religion... it's a pretty useful organizing tool for human society. But, S.E. Cupp's logic is twisted.

Anyways, whenever religion has come up on The Cycle... S.E. will volunteer "I am atheist, but I write a lot about religion." Go figure.

As long as they get publicity and ratings they'll continue to employ conservatives and morons- at this rate the only things to survive the apocalypse will be cockroaches and Morning Joe.

We're talking about her in this thread, I've posted more than a few complaining about her...but people are talking. They're calling her an idiot and complaining about the fact that MSNBC wastes airtime with her nonsense, but they are talking.

It results in fucking up the careers of Krytal Ball and Toure, but noth were stupid enough to tie the future of their careers to the likes of S.E. Cupp, so they both deserve to sink into obscurity over their stupidity of willingly linking themselves to a moron.

A big zero. She should go. There have to be brighter people her age out there in the public somewhere. They should give the job to someone who actually deserves it and can do it.

Unless... maybe that's maximum intelligence for a conservative. It's still embarrassing to watch though. The careers of the other three hosts will probably be set back by being associated with this mess.

just so more people can realize how wacko the GOP has become. And because it takes away the argument that MSNBC is as unbalanced as Fox News.

I feel for the other 3, but they need to take SE Kook off. At least Luke Russert would be better than her. He kind of leans a little right I find.
