Man, did you see the attack against Tavis Smiley for telling the truth that Bush lied to us?

[NNN0LHI]

On Morning Joe? Everyone, and I mean everyone on the show jumped right on him and began defending Bush. Every one of them. See how people react to someone telling an inconvenient truth? They all pile on and begin looking at you like they are fitting you for a straight jacket. I bet Tavis doesn't ever do that again. See how that works?

Amazing isn't it?

1. No...

they have been doing it throughout the Bush years and beyond.

[kentuck]

2. That means they are all liars...

Joe, Mika, and the whole bunch. Of course George W Bush lied. He knew exactly what he was telling the American people and why? It wasn't bad "intel". They created their own intelligence. Good for Tavis for sticking to his guns under the fire of these lying, covering-up, assholes...

25. thanks

4. It'd be good if the corporate media (R) chewed on this for a couple of days

....it would expose the rank bullshit of xCommander AWOL Bush (R).

Republicons got propaganda on theri side,
America has truth on its side.

[Bluenorthwest]

5. See how people react? No, that's how Republicans react

And I don't watch the Republican Congressman and Friends Hour, as so many do here, nor would I be surprised that right wing Republicans favor Bush.

8. There is an article that Smiley is leaving his one hour show on NPR at the end of

December. I hope he has something in the works where he can speak out the way he does on those panels with West, Tyson, etc. He shouldn't have to speak around a clown like Scarborough.

[spanone]

9. quit watching the bullshit on m$nbc...including chuck todd...pathetic

[Joe Fields]

10. Well, fuck those enablers and I thank Tavis for his courage against hostiles.

[malaise]

11. It was unfuggingbelievable

Bush did not keep America safe 9/11 happened under Bush and Joe Scum is also a LIAR

[Javaman]

12. The revisionist history is happening now.

trying to paint over the bullshit.

in 10-15 years moron* will be revered as much as nixon was, by the right wing, just before he died.

[NNN0LHI]

13. It isn't easy but it is our burden to not allow that to ever happen

That is the least we can do for future generations.

20. Rumsfeld tweeted that he canceled his NYTs subscription

over Krugman's comments yesterday so I tweeted him that he can't get it in the federal pen anyway. lol

The propaganda whores are going at it full tilt boogie. You wouldn't believe Cheney, he's the very worst of them and his audiences are insanely branwashed.

[gratuitous]

14. Astonishing how resilient Bush's teflon is

Just this morning, the Toady Show had excerpts from Brian Williams interviewing President Obama. One of the first questions they ran was about Obama's declining approval numbers, now about 44%. Does anyone recall the first, last or anytime in between during eight years of Bush when a national "news" figure like Brian Williams asked Dubya about his poll numbers, especially when they were mired in the low to mid 30s?

[winstars]

15. Joe Scum said: George Bush kept us safe for 8 years!!!

I can't watch it again to tell you where in the tape he said this but he did!!!

[Lex]

23. this statement is a key part of our re-education

nt

[Rex]

16. No, but the M$M gets paid to keep us at war and to cover up

criminal activity of GOPers with the initials GWB.

[ellenfl]

17. i just watched the whole segment. where did anyone say 9/11 happened on bush's watch? eom

[Lex]

24. it didn't, of course

aren't you keeping up? (yes, sarcasm)

[ellenfl]

29. apparently not. i guess that tidbit was in the thread i jumped from. eom

[markbark]

18. I bet Tavis doesn't ever do that again. See how that works?

No.

It doesn't matter what the press says.
It doesn't matter what the politicians or the mobs say.
It doesn't matter if the whole country decides that something WRONG is something RIGHT.
This nation was founded on one principle above all else: The requirement that we stand up for what we believe.
No matter the odds or the consequences.
When the mob and the press and the whole WORLD tell you to move, YOUR job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth and tell the WHOLE WORLD --
"NO. YOU move!"


...a tip o' the hat to Captain America for this one!

19. Morning Ho is @JoeNBC on Twitter.

Tavis Smiley is likely used to being called out by right wing @ssholes.

[bemildred]

21. Makes me think of Hyenas. nt

[NNN0LHI]

22. I don't recall ever seeing anything like it in my over 50 years of watching live TV

It was way over the top. Nothing but attack, attack, attack.

It was remarkable.

26. the original tavis smiley thread....

[pacalo]

27. "He (Bush) didn't 'intentionally' lie." And Cheney didn't "intentionally" stand over CIA analysts

to "get the evidence" to tie in Iraq with 9/11.

Lawrence Wilkinson must be blowing a gasket if he heard this conversation.

This is one example of why I DON'T WATCH THIS CRAP. (But I thank those who have the stomach for it & report back -- I could hardly get through watching just minutes of Brian "I Are A Statesman" Williams.)

[Raine]

28. There's a lot of that going on. nt

[southernyankeebelle]

30. Tavis is a bravo man. He isn't like by Obama either. There is no love there either.
