The Left’s support for the first affirmative action president is cute. The mongrel cur can’t tie his own shoes but orders Air Force 1 to buzz NY and climbs into it at the slightest excuse for a field trip. He never had a job that let him do anything interesting so now he spends his time flying to golf and any meeting he can get out of the country. Once there, he confirms he is an uneducated buffoon by bowing to every dictator he meets but snubs elected presidents and ministers. He’s a worse clown than Mussolini.

Perhaps Craig Crawford wants to be recognized as a serious person.

If so, then he should have left MSNBC long ago. But better late than never.

As for the discussion of the political spectrum… at one end is libertarianism, at the other is totalitarianism. I will leave it up to the reader to decide where liberalism and progressivism are situated.

I guess someone woke Crawford up from his Olbermann induced zombie sleep. It’s too late Craig.

TRRK, here’s a history lesson. Stalin was a social engineer who tried to impose his ideals on everybody else through an intrusive government organization. Mao was a social engineer who tried to impose his ideals on everybody else through an intrusive government organization. If you honestly oppose that kind of thinking, you should come to a tea party and join the others who are opposed to expanding government intervention.

Congrats to Craig for enhancing his reputation by getting out of the sinking MSNBC bias machine. That Crawford, who is no conservative, would make these statements, tells you how low the credibility of this “news” organization has sunk. And, honestly, if they gave out Emmy awards for bias, MSNBC would win them all every year.

once again Wrong!
you silly misinformed Leftest?
Liberalism is a movement in the wrong direction of no a government involvement attitude. You need to read Karl Marx before you try to sate facts.

your facts come from left wing blogs and people who spoon feed you from hollywood,
movies are not facts.

>It is closer to an Anarchist state then any Socialist or dictatorship.

lol

>closer to an Anarchist state

Brush off your books in anarchistic history; started among the labor movement and even the First International chaired by Karl Marx himself.

Pure anarchism is just as bad as a pure socialism. Liberalism is the ultimate centrism.

I Think a few of you on the left have been drinking before writing on your comments.

The strange and bizarre ideas you throw out that you think make sense because you use big words and think you sound smart are crazy and stupid.

Please read up on Conservative Right . It is closer to an Anarchist state then any Socialist or dictatorship.
Facts will always set you free!

I’m glad I want have to look at his smug mug anymore.

On that point, I’ll agree. He always did have an air about him that said, “I’m better and smarter than you. Clearly, I’m the best.” But since that fit in with so many other MSNBC hosts who think and act the same, I thought he had found a decent home.

Is there any world evil you won’t defy logic to blame on those whom disagree with you politically? It must be nice to have a scapegoat for all things wrong in your life.

…in fact, Republicans in the United States have a long history of supporting dictators throughout the world.”

Like Castro, Chavez, Gaddafi, Morales… etc. All those guys who rule their country with (pardon the cliché) an iron fist… all big fans of the right. That’s why you always see all those rightist Hollywood-types hanging around them!

Wait…

Good move Craig!
MessNBC has really become nothing more but an extension of that open sewer called “The DailyKos”.
When you watch Olbermann, Matthews, Shuster, Ratigan, Shultz and Maddow in action, you can’t help but wonder about the collective mental health of that crazy “news” channel and their viewers.
The intellectual dishonesty and hyperpartisan rantings displayed there are causing serious damage to the few dozen people who actually watch it. And now with Amy Bishop and John Patrick Bedell no longer able to watch, their ratings will go even lower.

If you crunch the numbers, it’s all really quite simple:

Evil = right-wing

Therefore, Palin, Glenn Beck, Fox News, Reagan, Sadaam, Nixon, Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Napoleon, Henry VIII, Genghis Khan, Caligula, and Nero are/were all right-wingers (and possible tea partiers).

Good = left-wing

This means Obama, JFK, FDR, MLK (anybody known by their initials, really), Che Guevera, Ghandi, Lincoln, and Jesus were all left-wingers (and doubtlessly Democrats).

Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez represent a gray area. Once we figure out whether they are good or evil, then we can decide whether they are right-wing or left-wing.

“I doubted you would understand, Writer.” And what are ‘rightist roots’? Dictators have been around since one man realized he could overpower another. How is there any right or left in that? At least in America, it’s the right that wants less government control. The left wants more. If either side is closer to wanting dictatorship, it would be the left.

Always enjoyed you, Craig. But do I denote a tad of Red-baiting Republiscum bitterness in your voice/tone here?? Doesn’t exactly bring out the “best” in people, now does it? Will you be taking a “right turn” in the future? If so, you assuredly will find nary a trace of “oxygen” there – for those transmogrified morons have yet to take their first solid breath of decency or integrity. Surely you have much more to offer than to cast your lot with such prehensile-tailed creatures of the night/Right. Be interesting to see. Here’s looking at you, kid!

Hey Steve, Royal is singling me out by name!! Gonna say anything? Anyway, how do you arrive at the conclusion that totalitarianism must necessarily be ‘right wing’? Using that logic, there is no such thing as a left wing dictator. Castro is a right winger. Ho Chi Minh was a right winger. Your desperation to blame every evil on the ‘right’ has really gone off the reservation for good.

By: The Real Royal King

The Real Royal King — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 20:35:59 +0000

I doubted you would understand, Writer. If you have ever read Marx and Engels, you would realize that what you call “Communism” is an economic theory and not a method of governance. A dictatorship is a method of governance and not an economic theory. Dictatorships has rightist roots, and, in fact, Republicans in the United States have a long history of supporting dictators throughout the world. C Street, a rightists organization and a Christian fundamentalist organization advocates a form of dictatorship known as an oligarchy.

It’s really a pity for you cogent ideas cannot be expressed on bumpber stickers or by a few acidic quips.

Chairman Mao, like Premier Stalin, were both fairly totalitarian guys. That is fairly rightist, whatever social or economic policy is being espoused/dictated. I know that is nuanced, but try to understand that.

Only someone who considers Chairman Mao a right winger would view MSNBC for anything other than what it is. A bunch of far left wing nuts shilling for Obama. I watch MSNBC, because I want to say I saw it when Olbermann has a complete, Woody Hayes-style meltdown right on camera and has to be carted off by men in white coats.

I’ve never been able to stand that guy. He sounds like a cross between Barney Fife and Thurston Howell III when he talks. I’m glad I want have to look at his smug mug anymore.
Chris Matthews was right, by the way. The Clinton Machine tried every dirty trick they could think of, including fanning the rumor that Obama was educated in a Madrassa (Back in Jan. of ’07). The only intention could have been to try to paint Obama as a “secret muslim.” It was the Clintons who dredged up an Obama kindergarten paper when she started trailing in Iowa. Several Clinton campaign workers were caught spreading an email that said, “”Let us all remain alert concerning Obama’s expected presidential Candidacy. Please forward to everyone you know. The Muslims have said they Plan on destroying the US from the inside out, what better way to start than at The highest level.” The Clinton Political Machine fired one person over it, but that’s closing the barn after the horses are out. It was the Clintons who tried to make issue over the fact that Obama had lived in Jakarta as a small boy. They fanned the flames of the Rev. Wright controversy and Bill Ayers. Even when they didn’t have anything else, they circulated a rumor (through Robert Novak, of all people) that they had “scandalous information” that they had decided not to use. There was no level too low for them to stoop to. At the end of the day, it was the Clintons who gave a leg up to what has come to be known as the “birther” movement.

By the way, I should have added MSNBC is tanking. CNN is tanking. CBS us tabking. NBC is tanking. ABC is tanking.

PBS is only viewed by a handful of leftist elitists. Only Communists listen to NPR. All the newspapers in Amerika are shutting down next week. No one reads magazines anymore,

Did I pretty much cover it, ye poor, discriminated against , never had a chance in life, White, Christian males?

Anyone who has spent any time at all watching MSNBC, unlike most of the poor, discriminated against , never had a chance in life, White, Christian males on this site who have never watched a moment of the programming, knows this has been coming for some time. There was a dust-up with Olbermann and with Matthews. Pretty transparent and no loss ….

By: writer

How could he be surprised that Matthews called him a racist? Matthews, like Olbermann, thinks everyone white is a racist. Par for the course.

Of course, the righties here will just attack MSNBC because in their world the only opinion that counts is theirs.

“Crawford says he has found the network “unrewarding for me,”

Tranlastion:

“MSNBC is nothing but a bunch of babbling, grunting, crazed baboons all the way form Scarborough to Maddow. These idiots are an affront to decency and honesty. No wonder their ratings are in the sub-basement. Things are really going to shake up when Comcast takes over. ”

..that’s what I hear, anyway

Hadn’t seen Crawford on MSNBC for quite some time anyway. Most likely due to some personal conflict/behind the scenes reason with someone on the network that prompted him to leave (Chris Matthews?).
