Morning Joe's Donnie Deutsch says it doesn't feel like OWS protestors have 'gravitas'

[flpoljunkie]

I give you a small sample of 'Tea Party gravitas'...

[livetohike]

1. Earlier, I heard Deutsch say that there needed to be some

iconic photo (such as at Kent State !!!!). Then he backed down and said he didn't mean something like that should happen - God forbid.

I had to turn it off. Everyone at the table is still pretending they don't know what OWS is all about. Willie looks bewildered as usual, Mika looks like she would rather be sitting in a nail salon, Mike Barnicle is useless, Joe is an asshole. That sums it up.

Oh and Donnie said the movement needs to grow up!

2. Hope John Stewart was watching this morning. Colbert, as well.

6. Someone needs to call Deutsch out on that Kent State comment

Allison Kraus...who died that day at Kent State was from a rival high school to mine in the suburbs of Pgh. :cry:

7. lol

Willie looks bewildered as usual, Mika looks like she would rather be sitting in a nail salon, Mike Barnicle is useless, Joe is an asshole. That sums it up.

after reading that, I feel like I've just watched "Morning Joe." :rofl:

9. It's the same thing every morning. I don't know why I watch.

I guess I need some mind numbing program while I drink my coffee.

13. I can see his point, Kent State was the defining moment of

the anti-war demonstrations. That was the straw that broke the camel's back, that tragedy was what finally woke the American people up and brought the Vietnam war to an end. If the OWS succeeds there will a defining moment caught on camera that turns the tide, who knows what it will be. The guy that backed the tank down in Tiananmen Square, pulling down the statue of Saddam Hussein in Iraq, when Yeltsin backed the Soviet army down at the Russian White House.

15. I think the words just came out wrong, but I agree it was a

defining moment. Until there are OWS protests on college campuses (and I'm sure there will be), the media will finally wake up. I was in college from 1970-1974 and took part in many demonstrations against the war. Even on my small, state owned campus we had hundreds of people marching.

3. but, but, but Donnie wears a Timex watch!

I couldn't believe that stunt.

4. he had a book ghostwritten for him called "Often Wrong, Never In Doubt"

5. Why do people watch this show?

Is there nothing else on any cable channel anywhere at that time of day? Could you watch something online instead? Or do you like starting your day angry and frustrated?

I don't get it.

:shrug:

8. As Joe just said, 'It's entertainment.' I think John Stewart would agree.

And, sadly, these idiots have political influence--even if they have no 'gravitas.'

10. Teabaggers are just plain rotten scumbags.

[In Other News]

11. Donnie Douche?

Did he say something?
Didn't think so.

[NatBurner]

12. i'm amazed that this dude can't even spell his slurs correctly

and it's probably his favorite word, too
irony wasted on idiots
pity

14. Consider the source

What do you expect from a man who defended torture? He's a status quo, go along to get along man all the way and is incapable of having an original thought in his head.

16. Donnie Deutsch made his money/fame in advertising. 'Nuff said.

[polichick]

17. Well, Donny did also say that the tea party disgusted him and was hateful.
