You are serious aren’t you TC?  This is an old joke, was said for every President since I don’t remember when.

Mountain out of molehill. 

Put your race deck away.

if this had been a Democratic strategist saying this about a GOP president, Hannity would have needed someone to fetch the smelling salts, and you would have heard about it or months on end. Instead, Luntz will cheerfully be welcomed back as a member of the FOX team.

*double eyeroll*

 Keep in mind tommys age.

Go get him Tommy!  I don’t think that you should rest till he has bee arrested, thrown into jail, and the key to his cell thrown away!!!!!!  

Keep up the good work, the nation would be lost were it not for you keeping all things conservative in the ugliest light possible.  

Tommy, are you incapable of seeing Obama as anything other than a black guy? Seriously. 

Slapping a race card every single time someone says anything about Obama is beyond ridiculous. Obama is a man, he is the POTUS. People can crack wise, or insult or oppose his politics or whatever, without seeing him as *a black man*. You should give it a try.

 oh did it hurt your wittle vag?  QQ

Tommy you really went one step to far with this one.  You really were mind reading and really reaching for this last mediaite story you submitted.  I can no longer take any more of your stuff seriously.  Its a shame prior to the election season i liked reading your stuff.  Then about a year ago it slowly started occurring.  I knew you, like virtually everyone in the media is a progressive.  So seeing one puff piece here or there supporting the democrats and attacking the conservatives was understandable.  However now its constant, almost as if you were working for the Obama administration.  Take a look at your last 100 reports for mediaite as evidence.   Its as if it almost all was written by the DNC or the Obama Team. 
So tommy you have a choice.  You can be taken seriously once again like you were a year ago or continue supporting team Obama.  You cant do both. 

using a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the worst on stuff the left said about George W Bush.  This would be in negative numbers.

The only racist ones are the white people who think that language with respect to a minority ought to be different than it would be to a white person.

Tommy, you’re the one who’s thinking of Obama as “black” whereas Luntz is just thinking of him in political terms as the president who happens to be the adversary to his party.

If the statement could be issued about a white person, then there’s no reason it shouldn’t be issued about a person of any other color… and the only ones objecting are those wanting a platform or racists who think their liberal, condescending stripes somehow “protect” the minorities when they don’t need any protection in most of these cases.

As a black person myself, I find people like you insulting.

That was an old joke, told about Hillary, and it was on an actual bumpersticker.

How’s this ?

“ Obama is aging fast enough for Morgan Freeman to play him in a movie.”

Stupid, unfunny joke no matter who is in the Whitehouse. Don’t give up your dayjob creating republican party doublespeak, Mr. Luntz, you’ll never make it as a comedian.

And people wonder why there are so few successful republican comedians. :)

It’s funny I remember several months ago that Tommy went throw the comment thread of one of the articles he had written and responded to every comment made that had little or nothing to do with the content of his article…  Now Tommy writes articles that have little or nothing to do with the topic he writes about…  He has devolved into writing pure hit pieces.  

Your comment was just pathetic.  

wow, I think I’m a lot older than you and I remember a lot of campaigns and a lot of presidential candidates and I’ve never heard this crass, immature joke before ever.

First he states: “… I generally don’t support speech firings” then proceeds to call for Luntz’s firing at Fox News. Tommy will do and say anything to please the bosses at MSNBC. Read this first paragraph of a blog posting over at FishbowlDC: “Is there anyone out there dying to be on TV more than Tommy Christopher? Mediaite’s White House reporter, and man of mystery (who is he REALLY????), has been kissing up to MSNBC host Chris Hayes for months in stories and on Twitter with messages to him using the hashtag #Uppers, in reference to Hayes’ show “Up with Chris Hayes.””

Do you also demand that the WSJ or Washington Times editorial writers stop writing anti-Obama articles?

Read your comment history. Rarely do you write more than one sentence and your favorite word is “vile”.

Penn & Teller on Frank Luntz

Not Safe For Work

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViYI1BkhyRk

Hello Frank! F-U!

 Hey, Obama actually waved at tommy once, so there! :)

First time I’ve heard it, but I am not a Republican.

It’s not like we didn’t know was a fraud to begin with, so I doubt this information will tarnish his reputation.

She hasn’t either, but she thinks it’s terribly amusing.

I keep waiting for these people of whom you speak to do just that. So far, nothing.

Bob’s comment was realistic, while your reply was lacking!!

Too bad Frank’s joke aren’t as funny as his looks!!

I would compare him to a troll under a bridge but usually trolls aren’t as fat as Frank and don’t wear cheap toupees!!

Big Petty is actually the best. I fully expect to seem him on that stained and soiled rd couch on F&F some morning. Gretchen O’Van Karlsen will laugh hysterically and Il Douchet will roll his eyes. The rest of America will change the channel.

Robert riding high today, knowing he is about to come into a lot of money. He found an old autographed photograph of Rin Tin Tin from his boyhood. As soon as he can get the autograph authenticated, he will be in tall cotton.

seems funny to me that the Liberal commentators, journalists, bloggers, were no where around screaming when the movie was made and put in theaters in 2006 while President Bush was in office “Death of a President” about a “fictional assination” of President Bush.  Nothing was more vile than that, ever!
I’m so sick of you and everyone else throwing out the racist card for anything that has to do with this president.  I for one hope that we never elect another black (even though he actually is bi-racial) president for these reasons. no one holds him to account for anything and he knows he and plays it.

Love that Liz Trotta moment.. 
What’s hilarious to me is that the only time anyone ever sees the host of that Fox show (who the hell knows what his name is)  is when he’s setting up a Liz Trotta gaffe, or introducing her to apologize  for a gaffe.  Poor schlub.

When they were handing out looks he thought they said books, so he asked for a funny one.

 Does he still have that youtube rant up where hez sporting those big giant loop earings?

On second thought, perhaps you’re not all that funny.

A man goes to a dairy and asks for 100 gallons of milk. The dairy man says, he can do that, but why so much? The man explains it’s his 50th anniversary and his wife has always wanted a milk bath. The dairy man nodded and asked “Do you want it Pasteurized?” The man said no, he wanted his wife to be able to breathe.

Hateful and twisted, that’s today’s GOP.  They should be ashamed and embarrassed but they aren’t all that bright to begin with.

Time for a Death Race 2000 sequel!  Bring Stallone back for Death Race 2012!    Good joke but inappropriate in a public setting.   Still, I think a Death Race 2012 would be fun to watch…

You sound like a racist.  I hope we never elect anyone who “thinks” like YOU.

She’s just getting warmed up for the RNC’s arrival in Tampa in a few months.  The lies will be non-stop once Luntz and all his buddies get down there.

I hope FOX “News” resurrects Griff Jenkins. His continuous whoppers last go around were wondrous.

Throwing out the race card to call YOU a racist.  Which you clearly are.  President Obama is vastly superior than any of  his critics or rivals.

you beat me to it. Pretty funny. Luntz is POS.

Truly the best that you’ve ever told.

That’s Junior.

Welcomed back?  He’s already been promoted. 

you must hear dog whistles lol

 You are a blind idiot.

I miss the old “Grifter,” so apropos for the Fox.

Frank Luntz – Liz Trotta – Fox News

Any questions?

Tommy is nothing more than a paid staffer for the Obama 2012 campaign.  And a tool to boot.

Frank Luntz is sooo fat…..How fat is he……it doesn’t matter, he’s a piece of shi*t.

Nope, it´s the Fox Effect.

It would be nice if you were concerned with your own whoppers once in awhile.

Instead of just heading off to Ash Wednesday service, happy in the knowledge that you’ve used a cache of identities and insults to disparage people whose views are far more reflective of your church’s holy leader, than are your own.

That would be nice.  Just once.

This is ridiculous. Cracking jokes about committing violent acts about anyone is unacceptable, especially committing violent acts against the president. Mike Huckabee cracked jokes about shooting Obama & now Frank Luntz cracks jokes about running Obama over with a care. Tone it down folks.

That’s because they are lying hypocritical liberal pukes.  

Cons aren´t funny. What a tasteless joke.

It´s going to get really ugly in the general.

 They would screw it up by having Jason Statham in it and having it take place in a prison.  It would loose all of its camp humor too…

wait a minute…

As a Liberal I can safely say this is the sort of thing that makes our side look petty and stupid. This was a joke, a stupid and really unfunny joke, but it was a joke. We as Liberals have to stop crying every time a Republican tells a stupid joke and we need to act like adults. The Republicans are doing a great job sabotaging their own chances in 2012, they need no help from us.

Please stop Tommy, you aren’t helping.

 And if you can’t differentiate between what Liz Trotta said which was a not so veiled threat against the President’s life and who definitely should have been fired and ostracized the way Helen Thomas was, and the bad joke Frank Luntz told, then I would say you are a bit too partisan, Tommy. This is coming from a guy that has never voted for anyone but Democrats and will continue to do so.

Tommy is a Dem lapdog with mental problems. He really has become a pathetic excuse for a  “journalist.” He’s the Jeff Gannon of the left — but he’s not as sharp intellectually. The longer he’s here, the bigger of a joke Mediaite is. The new journos who’ve joined seem reasonable. Tommy brings the whole place down.

*Chuckle*

 I don’t remember either.  When was this joke said, and about whom?

Please explain the “funny” part of this joke.

Thus proving your inability for sight.

Tommy, you are the only one looking at the President in terms of skin color. We all know that he is black, we have known that for years, you don’t need to remind us of that fact in every single article you write. No one cares that he is black except for you.

Luntz’ joke had nothing to do with race, and the joke is not any more offensive just because Obama (a black man, as you love to point out) was the butt of it. Your comparisons to the Civil Rights Era and car lynching is completely irrelevant. 
Anything and everything is turned into a racial analysis by you. 

Either way, there is no need for Tommy to write a big long racial analysis about a joke. When Tommy looks at Obama he doesn’t see the leader of the free-world (and the inevitable polarization that comes about during any presidency), he only views Obama in terms of race, not title, and thinks everyone else does the same.

Tommy doesn’t seem to understand that the most powerful man in the world and the leader of 300 million Americans is naturally going to have opposition and people who make cracks about him. It’s part of being President, not part of being black… We are allowed to make jokes about Obama, & just because he is black doesn’t mean we have to censor everything we say because white, guilty liberals like Tommy are going to spin and irrelevantly connect it back to the Civil Rights Era for no reason. 

 In case anybody cares, Tommy’s throwing a hissy fit on Twitter because his colleague Alex Alvarez has dared to apply some common sense to this incident. https://twitter.com/#!/tommyxtopher

I mean the joke was lame, but I am not sure you get all fired up something that Luntz says.

No need to run Obama over. Obama’s already run himself over. He’ll be back in Kenya soon. 

Tina, I know Florida in general is the weirdest state in the nation and Tampa is hicky, but there’s no need to justify this sick “joke”.  

http://lnk.co/IHTX5

I have to ask you that if the roles were reversed and the Dems made that “joke” about a repug would they let it slide… Heck No. The repugs would be calling for the “comics” head. that said, I agree with you, but I also feel that the horrendous disrespect for not only the man, but also the office of the President is ugly and should, MUST, reflect on the source. It is shamful and abominable.

STAND FOR PROGRESS. STAND WITH PROGRESSIVES!

joke was hilarious. ur lame

I forgot about that. Tommy needed to google Run Hillary Run before he threw out the race card….

You have a low threshold of comedy.

He’s just another of Fox’s paid talking heads trying to get anyone but Romney the vote! Fair & Balanced is a JOKE!

Well good thing he didn’t make it into an extended joke by making a full blown video about the Prez getting assassinated. We all know TC would be outraged by that no matter who was Prez.

Just kidding: “context” is just a theory in TC’s world of “journalism.”

So old I guess you can’t Google President Bush assassination video.

Yeah, we all know that the fact black folks have murdered more white folks in the last 8 years according to first black Atty General Holder’s DOJ statistics than blacks were killed by lynching from 1882-1968 is just a wild statistical flux.

“Context” – not in the dictionary. No, it’s not. And it’s inconvenient so why let it nag.

Quiet, shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! “Context” is a dirty word to TC. It comes far too close to reality and then the dreams come in the night. Those awful, awful dreams. 

TC doesn’t go outside and so he thinks slave ships are in New York Harbor this minute. Deadlines you know. That’s why he just writes the one article about an Emmet Till moment and fills in the blank with a GOP guy.

Tommy, you’re being an idiot again.  Stop it.

A ;racist is a racist is a racist and Luntz is definitely a racist. But let me tell you, Obama will be here for his lifetime.  You can count on it.  His return to Kenya only exists in your wet dreams.   More importantly though, Luntz is a so called newsman but he has no ethical rudder that comports with the traditional values of news folks.  The discussion about running over the President of the United States should be investigated by the Secret Service and the FBI and the perp rounded up and jailed for threatening the president.  I hear the most dedicated so called Christians making such an un-Godly statement.  In fact, these so called righteous folks who hate the President break every great commandment our Lord gave to his followers.  I am so ashamed of our party these days.  To think that our party, you know the party of Lincoln, has now sunk to this all time racist low.  God help our country is all I can say because these goofs will bring down a reign of terror on us because of their un-Godly racist swill.

Do you have any comments about the “jokes” that Ed Schultz and Rachel Maddow often make about Conservatives? 

Well, I have heard some – both Republican and Democrat – start their statements with some racist jab, and then proceed to TRY to take down the President.  It always amazes me that to the side of these yokels, the President always is like a bastion of good sense and he just ignores their ignorance.  Let me see, Obama’s mom was a US citizen so he is automatically one also.  Then of course there is Obama’s stellar record in school, graduating with honors and then on to law school and he aced the bar exam.  But still this disgusting racist crap gets thrown at him.  I admire his grace that allows him to ignore that ignorance and he just trudges on doing his job.  As a Republican, I have a sense of pride that in the tradition of Lincoln, our country has removed the racial barrier and that we could elect a black man as our President.  I know there is a God who will protect Obama and who is pleased at our progress.  So thanks Mr. President for serving in spite of this rampant racism out of some of the racist hacks in our party and no doubt, in his own party too  Just ignore them!

 It was a racist joke!  And you are right about our party sabotaging ourselves with this racist swill.  But frankly, I feel it is the duty of any self respecting Republican to actively speak out against this racist swill1  But, to each his own I do say.

 And you KNOW? this just why?

 Our Party ? you’re probably a bigot to boot and certainly not a conservative or republican. Hell, you might not even be human..

Lol, I love it!  In my sixty years, serving under Presidents Nixon thru Reagan, having the highest Respect for all my Presidents since I was old enought to know what America is about, Obama is the first person sitting in the Oval Office I can say I totally Dispise!  Obama is Trash that needs to be taken to the Curb.  Not because he is Black, which is the only arguement the Left has for those who can’t stand this nonleader whore’s son, using the “Racist” BS as is par for their low intelligence.  I would love to see a “REAL” Black man as President, like Herman Cain, Allan Keyes, LTC West, those are Real Black men who have lived the Black experience, unlike Obambi, who was brought up being handed everything, even his University grades.  Obama is Pathetic!
