This is a classic example of why liberals on MSNBC shouldn’t allow conservatives to appear on their network.  Yesterday Tingles got owned and now this.  It was really embarrassing just watching how that bimbo was owned by someone with actually credibility.

How dare this Republican congressman, with an economics background and a degree from Duke, challenge the well renown economics expert —insert moronic liberal MSNBC host here—’s interpretation of the country’s current economic state?

What an embarrassing display of journOlism.  Will the liberal media never learn? 

Obama has NOT proposed ANY plan- nothing- he just says he is “willing to look” at this or that, etc.

He is a phony!

What’s so funny is that NBC conducts a poll asking people if they support BHO’s debt plan when there IS no plan.

“she did manage to forcefully challenge Brooks on a different claim that “it’s [Obama's] debt, it’s [Obama's] debt ceiling,” by asking “why do you lay all that debt at the feet of President Obama ”
-Obama has been president since 2009 (Democrats since 2006)
-It’s Obama’s policies that have made things WORSE
-Obama started a new , expensive war in Libya
-A large chunk of the debt is from his worthless stimulus package
-We’re in Afghanistan because we were attacked by thugs who use the country as a base of operations
-Democrats voted for war in Iraq, including Hillary Clinton (Obama wasn’t there to vote) 

A little perspective, please. That was Contessa Brewer, who is quite dim even by MSNBC standards. Still, we have to thank Rep Brooks for letting the liberal side know that it is the 21st Century and education isn’t nearly as exclusive as it used to be.

I love it..i got to watch two lib ladies slapped down in two clips in one day by Republicans..this young lady and chrissy matthews… it’s nice once the backbone of Republicans stands straight! Which either side you choose, it’s obvious those doing the reporting need to learn more before they try to shout down and hissy fit on their betters or they will walk away the weepers..I think the left better go back to talking to just democrats..

Uh oh! MSNBC is going to have to stop having Republicans on becuase they are smacking down the hosts at every turn.

Dear Contessa. You were not a journalist here.  You were a debater. The first rule in a debate: Never ask a question where you do not know the answer. And by the way Connie, do you have an economics degree?

Gee, ANOTHER nitwit trying to blow smoke up America’s A** at the M(ore)S(ocialism)from N(itwit)B(iased-socialist)C(lowns) network while being slammed into mush by somebody who ACTUALLY knows something !

So, how many times has that happened so far THIS WEEK alone ?

Good on ya, Mediaite, for putting this up!

This should also have the tag of “Great Moments In Journalism.”

Minor quibble, though.

What really sucks for them is liberals are so damn angry and boring to watch so they need conservatives.

MSNBC is a trash network. Why would anyone speak with the clowns who “report” there, if not to belittle & ridicule them? No serious person gets information from MSNBC, or even bother to watch it.

Do these folks gargle obozo’s toilet water every morning or what?

They’re just really good at using standard talking points that don’t address the issues.  

1st ever twitter presidential debate- http://140townhall.com/

Wow.  Epic Fail.  Sadly, she’s probably so stupid that she doesn’t even realize what an idiot she made of herself.

>>Overall though, Brewer’s failure to research the background of her guest
might give credence to some critics who might now wonder in response if
Brewer has a degree in journalism? Never fear though, she does.<<

…and she demonstrated exactly what a degree in journalism means these days: You are an expert in nothing, you blindly defend a Democrat President no matter what the facts say, and you can't even perform basic research on an interview subject (aka, your actual job).

Well done, Contessa. Well done indeed.

Kinda like you and Barry do.

.And Bob Scheiffer got nailed Sunday by Rubio big time

Previous example of her journalistic “chops”:

http://hotair.com/archives/2007/05/15/video-msnbc-quotes-whitehouseorg-on-falwells-political-influence/

Clowntessa is the worst kind of mental lightweight…a clueless leftist.

Nora O’Donnell is a close second. Remember when she tried to make Gingrich out to be a racist because he asked Barry to get off the basketball court and get to work? Wow did she get a smack down!

http://www.ihatethemedia.com/norah-o-donnell-fool

Yes, liberals like Brewer are good at that, indeed.

Non liberals are treated not like guests at MSNBC , but as opponents .

Or enemies as Obama calls them.

She was a deer caught in headlights… 

Contessa;  Congressman, but you might lose an election, are your priniciples and the future of the country really worth the personal costs to you?

Congressman;  Yes…

Contessa;  well………  I guess it is time to go now.. 

As the video proved… Brewer needs some practice !!

WOW, that just HAD TO HURT!

Clueless leftist, but you repeat yourself.

The Republicans is going on the attack because their news source has been caught with their hand in the cookie jar.  

Is a degree in Jornalism in the Liberal Arts section of higher education?

You know a degree in Liberal Arts does not give you enough knowledge of one subject matter to get a job, it does give you enough information to piss off your friends though.

Really, how so?

Meanwhile …..MSNBC keeps getting caught with their head up their ass

Wow- you are more delusional than ever and off topic to boot!

Afraid to defend the indefensible Contessa?

How true Debt is not an issue….  everyone already knows it is a civil right.

Of course you don’t know because Fox is not reporting about what is going on with their parent company.   

The US Senators that voted AGAINST raising the debt ceiling in March 2006, 44 Democrats voted “nay,” including
31 senators who are still in office. They are Daniel Akaka of Hawaii,
Max Baucus of Montana, Jeff Bingaman of New Mexico, Barbara Boxer of
California, Maria Cantwell of Washington, Tom Carper of Delaware, Kent
Conrad of North Dakota, Dick Durbin of Illinois, Dianne Feinstein of
California, Tom Harkin of Iowa, Daniel Inouye of Hawaii, Tim Johnson of
South Dakota, John Kerry of Massachusetts, Herb Kohl of Wisconsin, Mary
Landrieu of Louisiana, Frank Lautenberg of New Jersey, Patrick Leahy of
Vermont, Carl Levin of Michigan, Joe Lieberman of Connecticut, Bob
Menendez of New Jersey, Barbara Mikulski of Maryland, Patty Murray of
Washington, Ben Nelson of Nebraska, Bill Nelson of Florida, Mark Pryor
of Arkansas, Jack Reed of Rhode Island, Harry Reid of Nevada, Jay
Rockefeller of West Virginia, Chuck Schumer of New York, Debbie Stabenow
of Michigan, and Ron Wyden of Oregon. In addition, three members of
Obama’s cabinet voted the same way: Vice President Joe Biden, Secretary
of State Hillary Clinton, and Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar.

It sounds like you’re feeling betrayed by your leader.  

Brewer has a degree in derp, lowest honors. 

And ignorant.

Staci, best to quit while you are behind…

LOL

Man, not only do you not post anything intelligent, you lie, also.

If they are not reporting it, why did they care “live” coverage of the hearings in London yesterday?

Man, you aren’t even a gifted lib liar.

Its not just MSNBC. All the networks treat Republicans like hostile witnesses and Democrats like bosom buddies. 

I would be speechless as well if someone with a degree in economics didn’t think we’d be heading into a depression without the debt ceiling being raised.  Clown colleges give degrees in economics now?

Um, yes they have, but the two have nothing to do with each other.  Unless of course you have some proof that Murdoch knew about and condoned what happened. 

Do you think that as the head of the gov’t Obama should be help responsible for everything a gov’t employee does?

Barry voted against it when Bush was in office?

Such racism!

Good One !!!

[WTF planet is this chick on anyway?]

Good One !!!

[WTF planet is this chick on anyway?]

Good One !!!

[WTF planet is this chick on anyway?]

I’m just having a fun run! Maybe you should quit.  

Where is Barry on “Fast & Furious”?

Pwned. ;)

I’m sorry you’re taking it so hard.  Outside the live coverage it has been very hush-hush over at the GOP network.  

Playing stupid??  This has been going on too long for him not to know.  

LOL

Duke is hardly a “clown” college ; it is one of the most selective in the nation- someone intelligent would know that.

Guess where that leaves you?

She did a good job on questioning the congressman but he was using standard talking points that doesn’t hold water.  

I have seen NO proof of that.   Have you?  No, it’s just wishing hating from another FOX hater. 

btw, why didn’t you answer the last part of my question?

Another lie.

No so- anything else you wish to make up- like Barry is a good president?

“I would be speechless as well if someone with a degree in economics
didn’t think we’d be heading into a depression without the debt ceiling
being raised.”

We’re headed there, anyways. Read much?

Um, Connie hon? You do not possess a degree in Econ either, so even had the Congressman answered to the negative what would your point have been? He has been working on  the budget in D.C., so had he not been blessed with a sheepskin of your desire he still would possess more emperical wisdom than your sideline dwelling self.

As for the article praising her for pressing the debt issue.  This deficit is by all means Obama’s. The CBO even issued a chart showing that in his first year in office alone he quadrupled the inherited debt from Bush.  This blather about the war being the cause is a canard.  Bush took us into war years before, yet his debts barely cracked the $400 mark in 2008.  Obama broke through $1.7 trillion in his first year.

You’re just upset that this chick is running lapse around you.  It’s okay I will try to take it easy with you next time.    

judging by what “staci” talks about on twitter she likes it behind.

judging by what “staci” talks about on twitter she likes it behind.

If that’s good, I’d hate to see “average” or “bad.”

If that’s good, I’d hate to see “average” or “bad.”

Really?

Then why has he not been charged, and where is Barry on “F&F”- he
had to know because it was destined to have international repercussions
with Mexico.

Just look at Fox and you will see terrible interviews.  

Girl, you  are in a wheelchair.

Girl, you  are in a wheelchair.

I think you means laps, but either way, you are delusional.

I think you means laps, but either way, you are delusional.

Jealous??  

What happens when her looks go? I mean, we’ve already seen it happen to that ass (dayum girl!) 

Hey… you’re judgement is running lapse alright !!!!!

[Do you have a degree in lapse judgement ???!!!]

They do get higher ratings on the weekend when they have Lockup on though, so they have one redeeming quality, they show where a lot of politicians end up.

“WH’s Carney: Obama May Accept A Short-Term Debt Ceiling Deal”

LOL

Barry is capitulating! AGAIN!

They already went!

Oh my, The hateful, racist, conservatives are raging. What the heck is going on?? Maybe they are getting tired of all the poo poo by these socialist and they are FINALLY firing back!! This is how all republicans need to respond on every show, even the sunday shows, time to take the gloves off and show these socialist what real conservatives, America is all about. If they want to live a socialist life then go to a country that is socialist , PLEZZ, but leave us, Real Americans alone!Buy a one way ticket for Obama while your at it and if you ever learn to appreciate what America really stands for then you might be ask back to enjoy the freedom our country is all about!!  

No, I just saw one here- Contessa folded like a $2 suitcase!

LOL

Yea – The OBAMA DEPRESSION!

You’re just upset that this chick is running lapse around you.”

Yeah- an intelligence “lapse.”

LMAO

You seem so bitter about it too!

Speaking of Obama’s utter failure on the economy:

Report: Private sector job creation ground to a halt almost instantly after Obamacare passed

http://hotair.com/archives/2011/07/20/report-private-sector-job-creation-ground-to-a-halt-almost-instantly-after-obamacare-passed/

Maybe that’s why another recent poll says the over 60% of Independent voters want Obamacare repealed. 

Who is Barry? 

Well at the time all the Tarp, Stimulus, etc were instituted, we were not even in a recession. It takes quarters to define a recession and four declining contiguous quarters of GDP to define a depression.

If you take away the US federal deficit spending from the GDP, we have been in a Depression since Obama took over.

Now, if you would not have had that HUGE infusion of debt infused into the system and the vast expansion of government bureaucracy with Obama Care and the Frank Dodd takeover, we would already be recovering. Especially if the government did not bailout their buddies in the banks and corporations.

See, this is the EXACT same thing they did in the first Depression. Seems to me they wanted to do the same thing they did back then, make it WORSE.

But hey, have you even had an economics course?

Keith Olbermann is saying, “Now do you see why I never had anyone on my show who disagreed with me?  Us libs look like idiots when confronted with facts!”.  

Soros, Obama, the Communist Democrats, and THEIR MEDIA!

2012!!

Nedd anything more be said?

“Republicans are quickly learning that MSNBC might be the network where they can best make a splash by forcefully challenging the network’s hosts.”
The snacks in the green room could challenge Contessa Brewer.

With the Biatch-Slapping that Matthews & The Contessa have taken of  late, I have to ask:
Are MSNBC hosts allowed to walk out on their own shows?
LMAO!

Maybe Hoopie & BayWhore started a trend for left-wing hosts?

Kudos – It’s about Freedom & Responsibility.
Time for the GOP to Purge the RINO’s & Go To BATTLE with the Communists!

Fact: I see it as the same spanking your MSMBC is getting with republicans talking about economy is the same as the spanking you morons get here on Mediaite on the economy. Obama has got caught stealing like his robin hood plan and trying to pawn the goods with the public hearing BS in the process.

I wish he wouldn’t have said “I respectively disagree”
I wish he said “Contessa, YOU’RE A MORON!”
I’m still watching that Walsh SMACKDOWN prissy boy!
I wish I could use it as a screen saver

The Tea Party won’t work with the President.  They act like children they don’t even know had to compromise. 

Fact: It’s now Obama’s economy and it really doesn’t hold water.

Why should the Tea Party work with a moron?

Fact: It is getting hard to find the last few democrats that are still stuck on stupid saying lets spend our way out of the debt problem at 70% GDP.

Normally these guests are booked at the last minute.  No way Brewer would know that a Southern lawyer in the House was an Econ major as an undergraduate.  Congressman Brooks’ B.A. in econ (which is pretty much worthless given his age) doesn’t trump the opinions of doctorate-level economists such as Voecker, Bernanke, Krugman, et al, who state categorically that we WERE heading off the cliff in 2008.  By the way, he favors a 23% VAT in lieu of income taxes-one of the most regressive taxes out there.

In 2009 (10/08-9/09) Revenues declined by $400B (or 2.7% of GDP) and expenditures rose by $500B (4% of GDP-see TARP & Stimulus, plus addt’l demand for social services due to job losses).  Whoever was President would have the same numbers. Note: the first 4 mos. are technically GWB’s administration.By the way, the House wants an “hard” expenditure cap of 18% of GDP (to compare, Reagan-highest year was 22.8% of GDP: lowest was 21.3% of GDP; Clinton began at 21.4% & gradually reduced it to 18.2%; Bush first year was 19.1% and it then hovered around 19.6%-20.1% until 2007: 20.7%; 2008 was 24.7%: Bush+Obama, a combination of increased expenditures and a weakened economy).

“The Tea Party won’t work with the President.”

That’s why we hired them!

The Bush Administration let the banks steal from the middle class.  The wealthy have gotten even  wealthier from all the tax cuts.   

Barry folded!

It’s called “WINNING”

Contessa brewer is an idiot.  After the Jesse Jackson incident, she should have been fired.  Can’t MSNBC find a more worthy Obama jock sniffer than this moron?

And since the Messiah has taken office the economy has only gotten worse. So what is your point?

We hired The Tea Party to go AGAINST the marxist in the white house.

Fact: Just posting with mouth open wide doesn’t make your loony leftist talking points any more believable.

A few days ago they had reported about it 30 times since the story broke: 

http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sheppard/2011/07/17/greta-van-susteren-scolds-howard-kurtz-bad-report-foxs-coverage-news-

The recession ended in June 2009- before Barry spent all that abortive “stimulus” money.

Fact: The Oh my God valley girl act isn’t gaining any sympathy here moron!

I believe Greta Van Susteren had to personally correct this misinformation campaign you seem to have bought into (or are intentionally advancing – I don’t know you, so I can’t say whether you would do such a thing) – she covered the story on her show.

Yeah, I agree that that was pretty embarrassing.

…And some of the people over at FoxNews don’t even know that massive planes were slammed into even more massive buildings, toppling them, killing a few thousand people and leading to two unnecessary and expensive wars that are continuing to this day.

Which, I guess is actually more embarrassing than not knowing the degree(s) a person holds, come to think of it.

To racist libs- they all look alike.

That’s a healthy attitude “life sucks, why not just make it suck 10x worse”

“Normally these guests are booked at the last minute.”

Lie.

Perfect post for this site…substance doesn’t matter….

So very very lame….

Have fun with this sheet wingnuts ,I know you will…

Barry “I Got No Plan” Obama now will settle for a short-term solution.

LOL

Yeah, If I were you, I run too.

You’re the one that voted for obama, don’t blame me.

Fact: Hey liberal it’s not time to play possum with the Obama economy.

Boomshakalaka 2 minutes ago
Perfect post for this site…substance doesn’t matter….

Yeah, Contessa had no substance and you don’t matter!

Brewer f’d up worse than Matthews but handled it far better, with no childish “can you believe this guy” smiles to try to play it off.

Yeah, Contessa had no substance and you don’t matter!

TARP, the stimulus, and his massive omnibus spending bill are all Obama’s doing. You cannot arbitrarily declare that any President would have had the same deficit – those were his programs.

And those genius economists you list were the ones who said that passing the stimulus would hold unemployment below 8%.  The same who cannot determine where a fair portion of TARP spending went.  The same who proposed “Cash-for Clunkers” at $1 billion for 6 months, while it ended up costing $3 billion before unraveling after a few weeks.  The same who have admitted that QE2 has done relatively nothing to boost the economy, all while proposing QE3 at the same time. If these guys were medics they would fix a slashed artery by applying leeches.

LOL

You are such a funny clown.

LOL

You are such a funny clown.

You are a sexist jerk.

Fact: That sounds just like the Clintons at
whitewater and savings and loan collapse screwing the elderly from their life’s
savings. The other blah blah blah you are posting I don’t have any clue where you get that crap other than moveon.org or some other hack site.

can’t ya say racist, too?

LOL

Perfect job for Contessa (a.k.a. C*nt) Brewer–fag hag. Plus it would save the taxpayer $900,000.

…it has emerged that thousands of tax dollars were wasted on a study
examining the correlation between a gay man’s penis size and his sex
life. The study was among several backed by the National
Institutes of Health who granted almost $900,000 in one year on this and
other studies.http://www.ihatethemedia.com/grants-to-study-penis-size-in-gay-community
 

The first statement of your post is a lie.

“Congressman Brooks’ B.A. in econ (which is pretty much worthless given his age)”. What the hell does that mean????? To me it means that Brooks went to school when you actually had to learn something. To you, it probably means he wasn’t properly indoctrinated (i.e. brainwashed) into some kind of politically correct psycho babble. What a stupid thing to say. But then “given your age”, you are probably not aware of how stupid you look.

The rest of your post is just babbling. DId you have a point?

it is a bit strange you all assume an economics degree means you can’t be wrong.. but there is a reason they call economics ‘the dismal science’.

Yah o.k. then.  Tell us how you came to that brilliant conclusion?  I know it’s written in your handbook that you must deflect, but does it not have to make some sort of sense?  Guess not.  You go boy.

Methinks you know a little too much about this particular subject…Were you googling “small penis” & found that “story”?  Or was it “your friend”?

Left wing so called journalist need to return to school because It seems that they are being schooled. But please don’t have a Chrissy ( hissy) fit.

Contessa….you ignorant slut!

Totally LOVE IT!

 I agree Matt. Lesson learned. She probably thought he was one of the Freshmen Baggers. Contessa, please do background check next time.

Are you saying an economist can be wrong????? Do you mean that Bernake, Krugman, Geithner, and the rest of the morons who are warning us of economic disaster could be wrong???? Are you saying that those same people who told us that the stimulus would prevent unemployment from going above 8% could be wrong?????? Oh please, say it ain’t so. My whole world has just been shattered. Arrrrrrrrrggggggg.

Almost as strange as liberals assuming Obama is a genius because he went to Harvard.

Demand will drive the economy.  People without jobs cannot purchase goods and services.  It’s been proven that tax cuts simply move wealth to the wealthy.  You’re using “post hoc ergo propter hoc” reasoning; the economy’s gotten worse under Obama (actually not true) so it must be his fault.
TARP was under GWB, not Obama. The stimulus was +/-30% tax cuts, btw.  We’d have lost the auto industry without intervention.  Last time the economy was adding jobs was under Clinton, who raised taxes on the upper-income earners.  All the supply-siders said it was the end of the world.  Not exactly.

If I had googled “small penis”, methinks I would have found your picture.

You’re  smart one, aren’t you?  Financial collapse certainly did happen under Obama’s watch, err what

Harry Reid said at the time that raising the debt ceiling would destroy the country.

And she’s not even blonde:)

What snide question to ask a guest on your show. Brewer is a freshman host- what if he had said “no” to her stupid question- does that mean he has no credibility to discuss the state of our national economy, debt or spending? If that’s the case, then I guess there really is no reason to have any input from Obama, let alone Biden and the majority of the Senate and House in this debt debate. Maybe the country should only be run by economists with no political agenda other than getting our country up and running out of the red.  

Fox covered more of the Murdoch hearings than MSNBC.

Thats just not true.  Stop with your talking points.

Not true. You lied again.

Don Imus on Contessa Brewer

But I was willing to cut her some slack and not say anything, you know, until – in fact, I didn’t say anything . . . That’s why they have those big double-doors there at MSNBC, you know, so they can get her fat a** in makeup.”

Got to love the I-man.

Back  OT,

I’m glad to see Republicans laying the smack on the Libs at MSDNC.These Republicans didn’t have to go though a media matters style boot camp to know how to lay the pimp hand up side that head.

You don’t watch Fox. How would you know?

She, as is many others on cable news not qualified to be doing live interviews on every subject in the news.  They are nothing more than mere readers of the news, and not really competent to discuss, in depth subjects which they are not well versed.  As important, they all attempt to get that one quick sound bite, and gottcha moment, rather than a well thought out interview.  Its a shame.

AHHHH!  Those evil, filthy rich people. Ever work for a poor person?

You mean Schieffer schooled him up big time!!

Mr. Tea Party couldn’t even answer Mathew’s questions. The Tea Party crowd has no clue what is going on.  

Your girl Bit*hslapped herself….  get over it…   But no… no….  let me discredit her “guest” LOL

How did the banks “steal” from the middle class? As far as I can tell it was and continues to be Democrat entitlement policy that literally forced the banks to give anyone who wanted a house, a house – no matter your credit, income or ability to pay.

The wealthy have gotten wealthier because they are smart with their money not because of any tax break. The top wealthiest politicians happen to be Democrats, so is it any wonder that they want the to govern with OPM. Entitlements are their way of life, if they don’t have to to foot the bill, they’ll pass the buck.

What did they steal exactly?

The Savings and Loan scandal was under Reagan.  You need to start getting your facts from a reliable source.  

But those filthy rich are not helping the economy because people are getting poorer.  

Now all of the sudden you are the economist we are supposed to be listening to???  Given the credibility of your previous statemenst above….  I don’t quite think so….  Krugman…  he’s so special..  LOL

If that was the case, then why not address the debt ceiling as the first priority of business 21/2 years ago, when Obama took office instead of an overstuffed stimulus bill and healthcare (of all things)?

Raising the debt ceiling would not have stop or mitigated a depression. Are we still headed for a depression or has that crisis been all used up?

And thats why they will be fired next time around! 

Under Obama unemployment went from 7.5 to over 10%. Foreclosures have skyrocketed. Job creation was a measly 18,000 in June. Without government subsidies GM will go bankrupt. WTF are you talking about? Take a few minutes and pull the Messiah’s c*ck out of your ass before you comment again. You sound like some college punk.

PS: In case you haven’t noticed, there is no “demand”.

Try making your nouns and verbs AGREE- it’s important in the English language.

At this point, all you can really do is laugh at liberals like Contessa Brewer.

A new report
out yesterday from The Heritage Foundation shows private sector job
creation dropped dramatically almost immediately after President Barack
Obama signed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (a.k.a.
Obamacare) into law.

From the recession’s low point in January 2009 until April 2010, when
Obamacare went into effect, the private sector created about 67,600
jobs a month. After the president signed PPACA into law, that number
slowed to a meager 6,400 jobs a month — a more than 90 percent decrease
or less than one-tenth the previous rate.
 
As the report states, correlation cannot prove causation — but the
change in course is statistically measurable and testing reveals a
structural break between April and May of 2010. Moreover, small-business
owners have said Obamacare is a deterrent to hiring….

Some moments are so rich no commentary will do them justice.

That was delicious.

And somehow you don’t think that Quanitative Easing was not a plan to fund the Banks and Federal Government out of America’s cookie jar…  your bank accout is worth 20% less than you think it is, so is your salary and eternal purchasing power…  but just keep livin the dream…

Hey, the Heritage Foundation! We can always count on those guys for some good news!

~GOP speechwriters

What… a… moron…

ROTFALMAO!  Contessa Brewer got OWNED by Mo Brooks just as Matthews was owned yesterday.

Matt Schneider said: “Overall though, Brewer’s failure to research the background of her guest might give credence to some critics who will now inevitably wonder in response if Brewer does in fact have a degree in journalism. But we already know the answer to that question: yes, she does.”

You don’t need to be concerned about her failure to research the background of her guest, even if her guest’s background were lying there in front of her she would still be a moron.

I love Contessa. She is a real Democrat and a liberated woman. I was so proud when as an unwed, beautiful, educated and tremendously successful woman she announced to the public that she was pregnant and then a few weeks later announced to the same public that she was no longer pregnant.

Right… that economics degree question was AWESOME!!! Do you know ANYTHING of Contessa Brewers history of being a moron on camera?

Most people are poor because of choices they make. Same for the rich.

If you look at the history of her posts she never once has had anything of substance to say…  she just gets a kick out of trying set you off with old tired Soros inspired talking points… 

What happened? Did she kill her baby?

What is this MSNBC you are all discussing. Some kind of acronym, I’m sure, but nothing I can come up with makes any sense. Oh well, there must be another discussion going on elsewhere.

LOL. We’ll have the last laugh in Nov 2012.

another sockpuppet Jeffy

In your dreams.  He started rambling about Bush just to interrupt Rubio’s discussion of the budget, then made an amateurish gaffe talking about social security “premiums,” which Rubio then schooled him on.

“If that was the case, then why not address the debt ceiling as the first priority of business 21/2 years ago,”

Because it wasn’t a political issue until Obama took office.  The GOP raised it without question until Obama took office

Country first!

People getting “poorer” is not necessarily directly influenced by filthy rich people. Many of those filthy rich people are however, directly involved with charity work that gives to those in need and help to fund the vacuum left by economic fallout. The thing is, the rich are not responsible to shoulder the income of the poor, it may be a moral obligation to give to those less fortunate, but why should someone who has become rich be forced to pay for government social programs? People should not have their personal income regulated by the government, no matter how much money you make or don’t make.
Conversely, why should whole organizations get a break from government mandates that the rest of Americans as individuals are forced to support? (like unions getting an exemption from Obamacare)

Mr. Tea Party couldn’t even answer Mathew’s questions. The Tea Party crowd has no clue what is going on.

In your dreams again.  The Dems and Repubs can readily identify specific cuts because much of this is still in committee.  (One of your more well-read liberal comrades pointed this out this yesterday.)  It was a dishonest question and Walsh wasn’t falling for it. Where’s Obama’s cuts?  The same place the Repubs’ cuts are:  in committee.

Dear Contessa. You were not a journalist here.  You were a debater. The
first rule in a debate: Never ask a question where you do not know the
answer. And by the way Connie, do you have an economics degree?

Sadly, her degree was in debate.

Bob Shieffer didn’t even know that you don’t pay SS premiums. Nice try. Not very smart on your part. Do some research next time before typing.

She looked a little like an unprepared bimbo.

Chris doesn’t even care that the Dems and Obama have NO plan. I know you’re a tool. But at least try and be a good one.

Mr. Tea Party member couldn’t answer any of the questions Chris asked him, but it just shows the Republican plan. Just throw some right wing phases out there and the Republicans will pee all over themselves after hearing it whether it makes sense or not.  

Seriously, they must pay their guests pretty well.

Makes you wonder how she got that job. ;)

What did Fox News get caught doing?  Link please…

Planet Pussy

Well, you and Brewer have something in common. 

Evidently, she only loves other people’s children too.

I thought one of the cardinal rules of journalism is that you never ask a question that you don’t already know the answer.

You ought to send MSNBC a tape.  If there is room for a bimbo like Contessa, there is room for you.

Michele Bachmann Tells Flood Victims That Blacks Are Stealing Their Money- http://bit.ly/oA7Q5K

I don’t even think Brewer’s stumble is funny. 

What would possess a journalist to ask an elected lawmaker such a flippant and disingenuous  question like that? 

If discussing Obama’s health care plan, would she have asked Rep. Pelosi if she was a doctor?

She was discussing economic policy and politics with a regular ole congressman.  Not bribes with Blagojevich.

She should be dressed down for her utter lack of finesse.

Are republicans finally learning to start mocking the lamestream media?  They so deserve it with the unprofessionalism, especially when it comes to talking t republicans.

I just watched Wolf Blitzerand shook my head in dismay at the way he treated the republican he was talking to; what a dolt.  Talked about all the times the debt ceiling had been raised and talked about Reagan and the Bush’s; never once mentioned Clinton, never once mentioned that Obama refused to vote for raising the debt ceiling in the past.

These anchors are either all dumber than dirt, or think their audience is.

Honestly, Blitzer…get a grip.

I don’t know whether anyone has made this joke yet, but I’ll venture it anyway:

Well, at least Contessa didn’t refer to him as Al Sharpton.

Hah !!

Hah !!

At least they have a plan. Look at the independents completely going republican.  If my husband had a budget plan for our house and I didn’t (God forbid!), I wouldn’t pretend my ‘nothing’ was better.   Because I’m not an idiot.  I’d have my own plan and argue the merits.   The democrat concept to have a crisis and not a plan to handle it is insanity.  Bill Clinton is rightly calling out his own party for this ‘do nothing’ plan. 

He conveniently left out that his degree is from Glenn Beck University.

 hell, you can’t even punctuate “Mathews’”  correctly. I wouldn’t be so quick to call others clueless.

people like this dim bulb Staci think that because of the British hacking scandal Fox is going to close. these liberals are truly unmoored from reality.

Staci–I think the botox is going to your brain. lay off honey, you don’t look a day over 52.

this was absolutely fantastic. Brewer is one of the stupidest anchors on MSNBC–and that’s saying something!

but nobody should be surprised that conservatives always do better when it comes to, you know, arguing the facts.

liberals have been motivated by hate at least since back in the Bush days. but now, their hate is directed at anyone who disagrees with Obama (the new definition of “racism”). MSNBC exists only to attack the people who attack Obama; that’s it.

Actually I agree with Staci Chase on this one thing, the banks did steal from the American People and they continue to do so today with one major difference…  Obama needs their complicity in funding his accelerated debt so he is funneling even greater sums of money into the banks…  where do you think all those outrageous bonuses come from that he likes to cite in his campaign of class warfare, Those bonuses started right back up within 12 months of a so called collaspe…  Really its a just a big circle..  From the Fed to the Treasury to the banks…  since it is illegal for the Fed to buy treasury instruments from the Treasury itself they have to go through the banks first.. with the banks getting their juicy little cut… Quantitative Easing just made the banks that much richer that little scheme played out something like this, Fed prints 2.4 trillion dollars interjects it into the little circle mentioned above under the guise of keeping bond interests low. Banks are happy, because low interest rates mean that the fed is loaning out money to the banks at pretty much a zero interest rate…..  Oh! then go figure the Fed does not want to see all that money hit the street as it will drive up inflation, so it actually pays the banks to redeposit this newly printed money or zero interest loaned money back in to the Fed’s depository accounts…  and of course it pays an interest rate so the banks will leave it there…  quite the cosy little relationship.  Maybe she knows a little about this given her last name. Now our progressive friends want to paint us as the A$$holes.

I’ll put my Bill Maher hat on for a moment: Brewer is a slut (or would be good playing one).

Heh, heh.  Then again, maybe not.  Like the old saying goes, “No sense, no feeling.” 

 ’Crackers” and Kool-aid…Ha!

The apostrophe goes AFTER the s if the word already ends in s.  Not that any of us would confuse you with an intellect but please try and get the simple stuff correct.

“The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies. … Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that ‘the buck stops here. Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.”
Barack Obama on Debt Ceiling in 2002

He refused to vote at all on a debt ceiling increase in 2007 and 2008

The truth is that our government spends far too much.  Our government must be sharply reigned in…if not now, when?

If this is you “running laps” I’d hate to see you on an ‘off’ day.

What’s the expression– lay down with dogs and you get up with fleas….  wear Maher’s hat and you get pediculosis of the brain.

Nobody is assuming that, but I can guarantee that a man with three degrees, one of them in law is a hell of a lot smarter than a reporter.

What are you even talking about?  Why don’t you go play with your hair somewhere.

She is right. It is all about the Pigford II settlement. It was supposed to go to black farmers. Instead 94,000 blacks have shown up with their hand out even though there is only 18,000 black farmers. As long as they are black they qualify. In additiion 15,000 of the black farmers had already received payment with Pigford I.  It is a reparations bill that Obama has pushed through costing us $2.3 billion. Try, try to actually post some facts once in a while.

Hey Contessa!

I DON’T have a degree in Economics, but I KNOW that the Government is spending TWICE what it’s getting in Tax Revenue, and THAT is unsustainable!

Raising the “Credit Limit” of a shopp-a-holic’s Credit Cards is NOT how to control their spending (over-spending) addiction!

Since the “Glorious” Clinton Years, Revenue to the Federal Government has INCREASED 7% (more or less) – however SPENDING has more than DOUBLED (that’s OVER 100% increase, for those of you who don’t have a degree in Economics)!
WHAT part of THAT equation don’t YOU (Ms.Brewer, and Obama, and Senate Democrats) don’t YOU understand?  YOU do have a degree in Economics, don’t you?

Name one thing he schooled him on- just 1 dear?

LOL

Try again- that failed so badly!

Try again- that failed so badly!

Yeah, that’s what the rich do- they wait for the govt. to cut tax rates by 2% so they can get rich!

bawahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Just read the script Brewer…………. loser.

Mo looked and sounded serious and sincere.

I’m not sure offering to raise the debt ceiling for serious spending cuts is really a compromise.

Fact: Picking on defenseless dogs to beat up on
Mahar. Shame on you.

Fact: Nobody at Harvard remembers him either. Strange very strange.

I was COMPLIMENTING the dogs…. fleas don’t stoop so low as to touch Maher.

Contessa should have taken on a challenge more in line with her skills, like trying to successfully step on a rake.

Apologies to the many, many of you who don’t know what a rake is.

>> Langway in Bowie:  “Congressman Brooks’ B.A. in econ (which is pretty much worthless given
his age) doesn’t trump the opinions of doctorate-level economists such
as Voecker, Bernanke, Krugman, et al…”

LMAO!  Really?
His AGE discounts his degree?
Now I KNOW Liberals are desperate to cover Brewer’s ass.

Going by such laughable logic, EVERY doctor or nurse who is of a certain age and out of school for a certain period of time (an amount that doof’s like Langway feel they can pass judgment on) should no longer be allowed to practice medicine.

After all, a physician can literally…and I do mean LITERALLY…affect life and death. So, if someone who simply studied business should no longer be allowed to offer an opinion after a certain “graduation expiration date”, well then… OMG!!! …for the safety of every living person, we’d better round up all these old doctors and nurses to make sure they don’t hurt anyone with their “inferior knowledge” !!!

NEWS FLASH to people like Langway. Just because someone attended Graduate School does NOT mean they will always be right about something — or even ANYTHING for that matter. For crying out loud, what good is a doctorate if you barely scraped by while earning it?  Stand-up comedian Steven Wright had a great line where he noted: “When you see a new doctor, you like to imagine he graduated in the top 5% of his class. But did you ever sit there and wonder if he was really in the BOTTOM 5%???”

Case in point being Krugman, who has a doctorate and the Liberal Left loves to cite, even though he’s rarely right. In fact, when it comes to ALL of Obama’s economic moves — including spending a staggering $1 TRILLION DOLLARS on a totally worthless stimulus plan — Krugman has predicted every… single… outcome… completely WRONG to date.

Hell, I could plunk down 20 bucks at a local fly-by-night psychic, who tosses on a costume turban and looks into a cracked crystal ball, and THEY would predict how the economy is gonna go far, far better than a moronic Liberal ideologue like Krugman.

Joe Walsh is a nasty arrogant piece of Republican trash. He claims he came to DC to “change how things are done”  … I guess that includes being totally classless and disrespectful.  He mentioned Chris Matthew’s name 61 times … man crush perhaps?

Nice retort David.

It’s a long-handled tool, like Barack Hussein Obama.

Walsh mentioned Matthews names as many times as Matthews interrupted the congressman in his attempt to talk over Walsh’s argument.

Dyed in the wool progressives cannot stand honest debate.  As evidenced by your post, when all else fails, progressives attack character.  Every time.

That was hilarious. Completely unprofessional and silly on her part, and eloquently and honestly answered on his.

Econ major, with honors.  Absolutely precious.

Wow, poor Cuntessa Brewer should do her homework before she drinks our great dark leaders cool aid.

And long time Democrats also opposed it when Bush was president – many of which are still in office. So why the change of heart, I mean crisis…
My point again:If it wasn’t political and never needed to get “political” then Obama, Pelosi and Reid should have passed it when they controlled the House, Senate & the WH, oh and let’s not forget Giethner or Eric Holder who can magically wave away constitutional rights and laws at anytime. Slam dunk passage- no real opposition.Both Pelosi and Reid voted against it when Bush was Pres. so why is this time any different? Could it because our nation cannot support the enormous debt & spending combo dumped on it by the Obama administration in the past few years, including the monster healthcare bill, of which long term cost has yet to be established because everyone is still trying to figure out what the heck is in the thing. Solution : Let’s raise taxes to pay for all of our brilliant entitlement ideas, not really cut anything, and make the Republicans look super-partisan.

Want some GREAT laughs?

Check out Brewer’s official MSNBC FACEBOOK page. Earlier today, she put up a post to try and look humble, clearly to try and save a little P.R. face…

BREWER (QUOTE): “Just learned why lawyers are told never to ask a question they don’t know the answer to. Me to Rep. Mo Brooks, talking about why he disagrees with well-known economists that we were on the brink of another depression: “Do you have a degree in economics?” Him: “Yes I do. Graduated with honors.”

The bad news for Contessa? It clearly didn’t work since people are blasting her left and right, no punches pulled. Some of the comments are absolutely hysterical, but these 2 really summed up everything that was wrong about what she (and MSNBC by extension) did today:

>> Brian Voeks: “What were you implying with your question? That non-economics majors aren’t qualified to speak about the economy? If that’s the case, then you aren’t qualified to speak about it. And are you a political science major? No? Then I guess you’re not qualified to speak about politics either. See how silly that sounds?”

>> David Rolfson: “Saw today that Fox News is the trusted news source for about 27% of those polled. MSNBC garnered an impressive 4%. Please don’t read anything into that as I do not have a degree in statistics.”

Great reply- My issue with Chase is that she singled out the middle class and Bush, which dumbs down her point to blatant partisanship. I think she more or less throws out liberal talking points, even if she isn’t aware of exactly what they mean. Everyone, no matter what ‘class’ you are has gotten screwed by the banks. I totally agree with you- they continue to make a profit at the expense of the American people without really having to inject new capitol back into the marketplace.
Obama needs to watch his caustic remarks, I am not sure how Wall Street is feeling as he throws them under the bus in public and begs for contributions in private. Of course, as long as the bonuses keep rolling in, they probably don’t care. 

 Hoe?

what an idiot you are , you sound delusional

And Michelle why do the Republicans still keep going on that no ratings msnbc? I just cannot understand it, I wish all GOP would say thats it, no more msnbc, just boycott them, the hell with obamas network, just start telling them no from scarborough the rino on up. In your face contessa brewer and matthews , its about time.

Contessa Brewer is not a “Journalist”.  True “Journalism” does not exist at MSNBC.  Brewer is a Leftist – actively working to promote the Leftist Agenda.  Factual & Historical data are irrelevant.

So you pull out this sock when you want to use the c word against women and call high school girls whores?

Some of you on here need to understand something.

There are political hacks on here and arguing with them is useless.

Give a job, get a job.

Staci Chase
@Staciisa_bitch At the Gym
I’m a bitch to everyone and especially to guys. What can I say I’m an overpriced whore; but I keep it real. Remember to water your lawn if you know what I mean.

Do we need to hear more from this person?  I think not. 

Wasn`t she with Imus when he pissed in a phone booth and walked around for day`s with it all over his feet,and legs?

At least should!

..

Cons are just jealous because a mere woman OWNED them. See, cons, liberal women don’t tolerate your usual crap.
You pitiful boys are so pathetic. :)

What’s her degree in?  BA in “Snarkyness”; make that a BS.

1 tea party member has more brains and common sence than anybody that watches MSNBC..

Another MSLSD talking head gets OWNED!

Dream on, liberal loser!

You really do live on another planet, don’t you?

Lots of nerve challenging Rep. Brooks on whether he had a degree in economics.  Great response by him … but he should have returned the favor and asked if she did.  Her previous job was Girl Friday and traffic reporter on “Imus in the Morning”.

Republicans go on MSNBC in hope of getting the truth
out to the Lib zombies. Of late, with the new GOP freshmen, these appearances
are embarrassing MSNBC by showing just how biased and uninformed their hosts
are.

You guys must be paid by them because no one could be that dumb on their own…….but after seeing your pic I think maybe you are that dumb

We are trying to save the country from going bankrupt  where will your precious welfare be then when the country goes under. You must be on the dole or you wouldn’t agree with this dribble  get a job

They are called “useful idiots”  Just like in all communist overthrows they use those people and then when the whole thing comes crashing down they are left in the streets starving to death, at least we have the sense to be prepared.

And you practice being gracious every morning, obviously.

Sad, yes. But at least she’s not imagining she is qualified to run for president. 

I’ll give her credit, she handled the moment well.  Furthermore, she acknowledged the Senator’s point of the necessity for a long term debt solution.

However, it is ashame that other Socialists, particularly those in here, could/would take defeat so gracefully and admit that the Conservative philosophy is by far closer to the original intent of the Founders.  Moreover, the Left needs to resign themselves in that there is no disgrace in admitting they have been wrong or, at least misguided.

We need to set America on course and instead of promoting a moribund, even dead political philosophy such as Socialism, is counterproductive for the Nation.  Contessa Brewer’s grace should inspire all Socialist-Democrats to abandon the proverbial “ship of fools.”

I hope the Socialist-Democrats learn from this Woman’s humility and foresight.

PURVEYOR

Savings and loan collapse. Let’s see, I recall that. It was Neil Bush who was the big name involved in that mess. Georgie’s bro. He’s would have screwed old folks but the govt. covered for him, n’est pas?

Brewer has a degree in idiocy, and she exhibits it every time she opens her pie hole.

You really believe that crap about govt ‘forcing’ people to take out mortgages they couldn’t afford? You are dense. The requirement was to follow accepted good mortgage loan practices. And they didn’t. End of story. 

My old dad used to say, It’s not what you know, it’s who you know.Nothing has changed. It’s still the old way, who you know helps you get ahead. Bill Gates had a handup from his well-to-do parents, one of whom served on a New York bank board and got them to let Bill do some computer work for the bank. He was brilliant, granted, but he used who he knew to get started. Helped that he attended a high school that had extensive computer equipment so he could get started early.Yep, the wealthy are smart with their money. It’s a sad thing that our society rewards some, while letting the rest float out with the tide. I now know I was wrong in my understanding that America was a good place for all. Nope, it’s just good for the ones who know how to make and grow money.  The rest can just take the abuse heaped on them and take it without complaint. 
What i want to know is, how many angry and hateful posters here are getting part of all of their living from government funds????? Man up, now, OK?

Well, yes. Obama put the wars on the budget. Bush kept them off budget and put them on the nation;s credit card. Obama had this wild idea people might pay attention to the economic troubles if he let them know the real story of the debt Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeldt left us. He was honest and didn’t try to hide the extent of the damage…..stupid, wasn’t that.

Cuz the tea party morons don’t know how to work ‘with’ anyone? They want to throw tantrums to get their way without knowing dip about the issues. If the elite fundies didn’t tell them what to get worked up about they would still be fat and happy on the golf course and card tables. 

it’s quite likely you would not recognize a marxist if you fell over one. But that’s okay, illiterate playground name calling will make you look like a winner in some circles.,.,.,. this one, for instance.

Mathew is a complete moron as are so many liberal. OMG i think i just got a tingle up my leg!!!

Hey, Jo, this is MY country, too. Unfortunately, I know what ‘real’ conservatives are all about. They don’[t want government for one thing, which makes Somalia the perfect place for YOU to go to when you leave this country.

 ”Real Americans”? You really do fancy yourself special, don’t you…..when the feathers hit the fan and the elite fundie dictatorship rears up and smacks you in the chops, you’ll wish you had read more, learned more, understood more, and done this country proud, instead of slurping up the slop the right wingers dish out to the ignorant lizard brain contingent that wants everyone to agree with them.
 
If a dictatorship suits you that well, and Somalia doesn’t appeal, try China. it would be great for you. Citizens are required to march in lockstep there. But don’t have the brass balls to tell me I have to leave MY COUNTRY so you can have the freedom to act stupid without getting any resistance. Learn to live with a democratic society or shut the youknowwhat up!

So someone objects to my response to Jo. Suffice to say, she is no doubt glad to have censorship her to protect her from being called on her disgraceful attitude. This is my country, too, and I ain’t leaving. Get used to it. 

And we shouldbelieve a Heritage poll, why? 
Cherry picking your sources doesn’t say much for the strength of your arguments. 

I think that’s a rule of the competent attorney. Journalists ask questions to find out what the various parties have to say. Then they  report them. Opinion and analysis writers draw conclusions from what they’ve been told. But rightwingers just need directions on what to say. They don’t need no journalists reporting different points of view or different opinions. Their heads would explode.

No… what I said was the government forced the BANKS, not people. I don’t feel sorry for those who took out mortgages without reading the fine print or chose to live beyond their financial means. Your dad was right, but who you know isn’t always limited to the rich.  Many people help others get a foot in the door but once the opportunity is open it is up to the individual to make the most of it.  America is a good place for all- but if your indicator for a happy life is how much money you make that would depressing in every country. Yes, without a doubt, having money helps in a very BIG way, but how ones spends it can be as rewarding as having earned it.

I love it, absolutely love it !

i always enjoy the stupitidy of liberals  lol   sad thing is  they vote

It is just wonderful to see someone in Washington with enough common sense to put these myths into perspective and not to allow the same narrative to be repeated over and over again. It is time to stand up for the truth and not to accept anything less.

Staci Chase, my dear child – the Tea Partiers know so much more than you will in a life-time with your short-sightedness, you sound like a kindergartener!

If you followed the link, you would see that Brewer has a BS (yeah, haha) in broadcast journalism. Brooks has a BA in Political Science/Economics.

Some fun facts: “Liberal Arts” has nothing to do with North American political liberalism and economics is not a science.

Jerry Jones is correct about the apostrophe.

I’m glad more Republicans are being more aggressive with Tingles and the rest of the MSNBC chatterers. Hearing the constant Dem party line gets very boring. As boring sometimes as Fox is when they drone GOP. I can’t handle MSNBC for longer than a few minutes and on Fox all I’m watching these days is daytime afternoons and at night Greta, The Five and Red Eye. The rest is all just getting too too partisan. Cnn is easier to watch these days (God help me)…

The Liberal Way is failing.  How about the gas prices, high unemployment, a very weak economy, a record 42 million American on food stamps, and home ownership is now down to its lowest levels since WWII.  In the business world, when something is not working, we change and adapt our plans.  We don’t keep trying the same old thing and throw money at it.  Liberals love to spend other people’s money.

As you know, Staci, you cannot spend more than you take in.  The Federal Government takes in about $2.4 Trillion a year.  They can live within their means just like we have to.

Where does our money go ?  We study the drinking habits of Chinese Prostitutes ?  We put shrimp on a treadmill and see how fast they move ?  We build a tunnel under a road for little toads to travel through to keep them safe ?  What do these things have to do with the economy ?

Liberals live in a fantasy land.  Where is the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow ?  Where are the doves ?  I thought the Messiah was going to deliver us to the promised land ?  If GW had this kind of a performance you people would be red in the face but since we now have Barry all is good.

I am sure you will blame GW and call me racist….that’s how you people roll.

You wrote “try and get the simple stuff correct.”  Correct grammar is “try TO get the….”  One does not do two things there, 1) try and 2) get.  One tries TO get… stuff correct.  Eh?

You wrote “try and get the simple stuff correct.”  Correct grammar is “try TO get the….”  One does not do two things there, 1) try and 2) get.  One tries TO get… stuff correct.  Eh?

The sad thing is that so many of us think that we are able to argue economics among ourselves, and quick to claim that we know more about it than the next guy. Just knowing the phrase “supply and demand,” plus an almost religious belief that capitalism is good makes us all economists.

By the way, capitalism IS good. It is the natural way of man. I only said the belief is almost religious because to challenge it would be sacrilegious, unpatriotic, and insane to the average American.

An economist is like a weatherman. He can tell you precisely what did happen in economic terms, but he cannot tell you precisely what will happen next month, let alone next year. The closer the future date, the more likely the guess will be accurate. The further into the future, the less likely the accuracy. That is not an attack on either profession. There are just too many variables for precise prediction because man and nature are fickle. That is why there are jokes about economists disagreeing. 

Having said that, economists are to be respected for their years of study of a very complex subject, and it is a real shame that the rest of us think that disagreement equals ignorance in any field, but especially in economics.

TARP was signed by Bush.

Forgot to start with Brooks was a fool to challenge the economic knowledge of anybody.

Neither is journolism a science, unless of course you include 1984 as science fiction in their training.

No, I would not say economics is a hard science, more a social science. That is why ALL state run economies fail. That is why Keynesian theories fail. That is why this country is failing. That is why socialism fails, it does not take into account the degradation of society it causes.

Just another example of how Contessa Brewer and the liberal media continue to shoot themselves in the foot when interviewing conservatives. They don’t thoroughly do their jobs as well as think rationally. Liberal thinking such as hers is the main reason for our national debt.

You’re right, they should just run material that furthers their journalistic opinion: since it’s practically all tabloid entertainment anyway. Fools.

Make that talking heads on any network and I will agree with you. Intelligence and preparation be damned, so long as they look good!

Don’t get us wrong, we are often entertained and impressed with Brewer’s
tenacity. And, aside from her attempt at a dig, she did forcefully
challenge Brooks on a different claim that “it’s [Obama's] debt, it’s
[Obama's] debt ceiling,” by asking “why do you lay all that debt at the
feet of President Obama when it’s clear that the wars in Iraq and
Afghanistan added to the nation’s debt?”

Too bad Mediaite left that part out.And did you notice how “Mo the economist” added President Bush’s debt onto President Obama? This Banana Republican can’t seem to operate a calendar, but he’s an economist? Really?

george w. bush proved that conservatives can have a degree in something and still know jack squat about it.

example: tax cuts pay for themselves.  our deficit says otherwise.

 It seems like the people that blog here are liberals, they attacked each others personalities instead of sticking to the subject matter.

This is why MSNBC usually runs away from open debate.   Their personal attacks backfire when the person has a chance to respond.   Maybe MSNBC hosts should try something other than personal attacks.   That would be a pleasant change. 

Brewer questions all guests like that – democrat or Republican.  She’s not choosy and, I agree that she may not have known that the congressman had a degree in Economics.  That just meant she didn’t preface her question with “Having an honorable degree in Economics, how can you state that we were not going into a depression when the Unemployment was blah, blah, blah and…..”

You are right.  Take for instance the economists who in February 2009 determined that unemployment wouldn’t exceed 8.5% if the stimulus package passed although many of them felt it was too small on the job growth and big on the tax cuts.  Looks like they were the right ones.

Contessa is sweet looking but stupid as hell

BROOKS YOU SHOULD BE OUT OF THERE. GOT YOU GOOD???

POOR CONTESSA ??     POOR AMERICA !!   PEOPLE BETTER EDUCATE THEMSELVES ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON IN THIS COUNTRY.    NEVER MIND IF YOU’RE  A DEMO OR A REPUB    YOU ARE AN AMERICAN AND ITS TIME YOU KNOW RIGHT FROM WRONG.  CHALLENGE AND RESEARCH EVERYTHING THAT YOU HEAR   BEING A DEMO, I READ OBAMA’S BOOKS  “THE AUDACITY OF HOPE”  PAGE 271 PRETTY MUCH SAID IT ALL WHEN HE TOOK THE SIDE OF THE PAKASTANI’S.  NEVER SAID ONCE WHAT A TERRIBLE THING TO HAPPEN TO AMERICA WITH 911
SAID “IF THE POLITICAL WINDS SHOULD SHIFT IN AN UGLY DIRECTION, I AM WITH THEM”   MEANING THE PAKASTANI’S   ALSO IN THE EPILOGUE, HE STATED THAT HE GOT THE NAME FOR THE BOOK FROM A SERMON FROM JERMIAH WRIGHT.       IN “DREAMS FROM MY FATHER   THAT IS ANOTHER EYE OPENER    I KNEW NOTHING ABOUT THIS MAN AND WHAT I RESEARCHED,KNEW HE WAS NOT MY CHOICE OF A CANDIDATE.   IT IS NOT RIGHT VS LEFT   DEMS VS REPUBS—-IT’S  ELECTING THE PERSON BASED ON WHAT YOU KNOW, NOT WHAT YOU HEAR.  BEING A SENIOR, I HAVE NEVER SEEN OUR COUNTRY IN THE MESS THAT WE ARE NOW IN.  ANY DECISIONS I MAKE WILL BE TAKING IN ACCOUNT MY CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN. NOT POOR ME, I’M A SENIOR! 

A line from an old Saturday Night Live show would serve you well.  Just replace “Jane” with “Charlotte.

Weekend Update – Dan Akroyd   “Jane, you ignorant slut.”

Well said HPAPPY96.

I don’t care if you are a Dem or Rep…both parties stink right now.  Tea Partiers are not necessarily the answer either.  All of these liberal versus conservative arguments lead to only one thing….a country divided.  America has lost touch with what made this country the envy of all other nations.  Personally, I blame the media and their quest to sensationalize every little item.  Regarding the current “Debt Ceiling” debate….both sides have legitimate concerns, but Obama has only inflamed the masses by mocking the Reps for not getting this done.  The simple fact is, Obama has not presented anything.  He has not brought one thing to the discussion.  Rather, I believe he is wanting Congress to fail so that he can use this as propaganda for his re-election campaign.  He can blame the Reps and chastise the American people who voted for the Congressional changes last year.

I pray for America.  We are in trouble.  Obama promised “change”….and if he gets his way, I will only have some “change” in my pocket. 

Listening to your guests today. I hope you will choose not to have Boris Epstein as a guest in the future. He may have some political insights worth hearing, but interrupting and talking over another guest’s opinion is arrogantly rude and thus his words become irrelevant.

repub or demo’s some of these people are educated idiots    there aren’t degrees for common sense and these people in dc are lacking in this area—- especially obama    helloooooo  our deficit is not because of tax cuts     you can’t spend $$$you don’t have  how’s the stimulus working out for you??   what about some  businesses getting preferential treatment regarding the health care  what about GE getting tax breaks??   obama”s government for  a  select few not “for the people”  you appear to be an idiot who needs to educate himself about what is going on in this country    if you have children or grandchildren, ‘WAKE UP!!!!!    YOU ARE A DIE HARD DEMOCRAT AND CANNOT THINK FOR YOURSELF   AS A DEMO, I AM DISGUSTED WITH THIS ADMINISTRATION AND THE DEMS   GOT TO GET THOSE A–H—- OUT OF OFFICE AND THEN WORK ON SOME OF THE REPUBS

LET’S HELP YOU TO UNDERSTAND IN THE SIMPLEST WAYS.  YOU HAVE A CREDIT CARD WITH A $5,000 CREDIT LIMIT AND YOU ARE AT YOUR MAX——-WELL, MAYBE YOU NEED $10,000…..IF YOU DON’T CURTAIL(THAT MEANS STOP) YOUR SPENDING, WHEN YOU GET TO $10,000 YOU ARE GOING TO BE IN THE SAME BOAT   HMMMM    NOW YOU NEED $15,000    GET THE PICTURE???  WHY SHOULD WE GIVE OBAMA MORE OF OUR MONEY TO SPEND AND HE DOES WHO KNOWS  WHAT WITH THE MONEY      OBAMA IS LIKE A CHILD NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR HIS OWN ACTIONS AND PUTS THE BLAME ON SOMEONE ELSE—-LIKE BUSH        BASICALLY HE’S SAYING THAT AS PRESIDENT (OBAMA) HE HAS NO ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND IT IS EASIER TO BLAME HIS FAILURES ON BUSH      AND THEN THERE ARE PEOPLE LIKE YOU, WHO EVIDENTLY CAN’T THINK FOR HIMSELF, BUT IS A DEMO AND SAYS “GOSH,SHUCKS THOSE REPUBS ARE BAD—-GET REAL AND EDUCATE YOURSELF BEFORE YOU POST SUCH NONSENSE—-A DEMOCRAT FOR THE RIGHT PERSON

Trouble is…Tea Party folks can’t spell.  Did you mean COMMON SENSE?

Get a job! …..Easy to SAY…..Hard to DO!

I AM NOT GOING TO CALL YOU ANYTHING.  But, I see no reason for you NOT going off and living the life of a QUAKER.  You do have the right to CHOOSE.

You said THAT to say WHAT?    None were STUPID enough to push this Country to the brink and get our Credit Rating Down-Graded.  Reason is; all those people you named have COMMON SENSE and a lot of knowledge about GOVERNING!  Something that does not exist among Tea Partiers.

Smart People are always perceived to be BORING when watched or listened to by Dumb and Silly People.
BACHMANN, PALIN, and THE SALEM WITCH…LOL
