The Election 2012 Mid-Day Thread #1 For 11/6/12: Voter Suppression Is Not A Joke Joe

Image
Proud Maryland native and House member Elijah Cummings (D) really was annoyed this morning with Mo(u)rning Jo(k)e laughing off voter suppression efforts throughout the country from Republicans yesterday. And he certainly expressed that quite candidly to them face to face. Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news , world news , and news about the economy "This thing, I listen to you all Joe yesterday, y'all were kind of laughing about it. It's a very serious issue.   It's an emotional (issue) . I predicted a very long time ago that African-american people would come out in record numbers, and that is already happening in my district. They are coming out in records numbers because they do not like the idea that there seems to be a concerted effort to stop them for voting."   Scarborough blamed David Gregory, who is even worse of course, with his silence on the issue on Meet The Press all throughout the election season despite supposedly being...

The 1st Thread For 9/13/10: Normalizing The Crazy The Best They Can

Yup, nothing about his limited worldwide, nothing about his constant love of golfing, nothing at all about the fool that he is now. And oh, did we mentioned it took 7 years for him ...

TIME Magazine's Sad Advocacy For Afghan Nation Building

Just take a look at the cover that brought Richard Stengel great glee to introduce on Mo(u)rning Jo(k)e the other morning: Gnarling on any rational person's teeth must have been their reaction to this nauseating cover, made even more pathetic by TIME's persistence to indicate how the Taliban will slaughter and annihilate every women in Afghanistan if the United States were to leave soon. Furthermore, as the terrific Allison Kilkenny indicates , Rangel took umbrage with Joe Biden's opinion on how we are not in the business of nation building, making sure to draw attention to their "oh so powerful" cover. What Stangel and his corporate propaganda magazine love to indicate is how " They are neutral, they aren't pro or anti war, but wanted to show the reality of the situation. " The much publicized release of classified documents by WikiLeaks has already ratcheted up the debate about the war. Our story and the haunting cover image by the disting...
