Ah yet another lib on A-MESS-NBC’er using the popularity of Limbaugh, Beck, and FOX to garner a headline. And Mediaite is always willing to comply.

Didn’t the reporters put themselves in that situation? Anderson and Amanpour(sic) are rich as hell. I have no sympathy for them, but I also hope they don’t get injured.

Whi I do have sympathy for are our US Marines and soldiers. They volunteer to serve their country, and are put in situations their civilian “leaders” would never go into.

Jesus Christ, dude. If it bothers you so much, stop posting here! Go! There are plenty of websites out there that do things more your speed.

I’m sure Niles Crain called out The Daily Show too. We just missed that part of the show. What? Wait? Oh… never mind.

I agree with you on that one. I’ve always found the reporters risking their lives to report live from volatile situations really silly and unnecessary. Of course, I also hope they make it back to the States safe and sound.

While I appreciate what these reporters are doing, this is becoming farcical with respect to CNN.

Last night, they ran a segment from Anderson Cooper with the tag-line” Secret Broadcast From Anderson Cooper.”

Please!

Also, remember that soldiers do get paid. And the pay is quite good. They’re definitely not volunteers.

So while I’m proud of our soldiers and what they’re doing, I don’t feel sorry for them. They’re doing the job that they signed up for and getting paid for.

let it be said that there are a fair number of us who did not interpret that as Rush walking back his parody or back-peddling on his question. Just a bunch of media whores trying to make ratings on the backs of conservative icons.

So Rush wasn’t wrong to suggest he doesn’t care about the safety of reporters in Egypt? Yesterday conservatives here were outraged when a few people stated that they did not care about the safety of an injured Fox News correspondent. Isn’t Rush just as misguided as those individuals?

Are you going to post this on every thread. Was the robber a friend of yours… or you???

Rush Limbaugh is just a guy who does a stream-of-consciousness style radio show for three hours. It appears that he was making light of the situation earlier in the day, probably because most of the known early attacks weren’t all that severe and as the situation grew worse, reports trickled-in and especially after Fox decided to release details on the horrific attack that had occurred hours earlier, the situation had changed.

So what? Why would it merit a mention from O’Donnell? Is he recording Jay Leno every night, so that he can have a record of every time the subject of a joke goes southward? What’s the hindsight is 20/20 record of “Morning Joe?”

Yet another example of a loser media outlet trading on the unprecedented popularity and success of conservative radio.

it must be pretty intimidating to know that rush or glen, by the mere mention of a word or topic, cause the largest number of internet searches for the day!! It must really suck to constantly argue against the will of the people and the silent majority.

Of course it’s wrong. Liberal Tormentor knows it too, just won’t admit it for some reason known to her.

To be fair, however, Rush is known to be a blowhard in style and he makes no apologizes. It’s good for his ratings. Liberal Tormentor isn’t responsible for Rush’s classless approach to his show. JMO

Some people are under the false impression that liberals care about the popularity of Beck and Rush. I don’t get all worked up because certain TV shows and movies and recording artists are extremely popular. Far more important things to worry about.

Just pointing out that for some apparently the rule is that a liberal saying they don’t care about the safety of a Fox News correspondent is an outrage but a conservative saying they don’t care about the safety of reporters is just fine and dandy. Hypocrisy is wonderful.

I am pretty sure the only way Rush would travel to another country and put himself in harms way is if he was travelling to the Dominican Republican to have sex with young boys.

Where or where would MSNBC be without Palin, Beck, and Rush?
Judging by their ratings it must be a bunker mentality…

Paul, I didn’t even visit the thread about Greg Palkot because I knew it would be full of FOX haters. It does seem like some journalists, in their quest to get the story, are putting themselves in danger needlessly. It’s like when some numbskull does something stupid and life-threatening and then expects people to risk their lives and spend money to save their sorry butts. It can be a little annoying. Of course, I’m not saying the reporters deserved what they got, but it’s not unexpected.

Liberal Tormentor (formerly Seeing 2012 From My Window) said:

In general, or specifically in Egypt? If it is OK for Rush to say he doesn’t care about the safety of reporters, is it OK for a liberal to say they don’t care about the safety of a FNC correspondent?

Judging by the number of his marriages, seems safe to say Rush is a fan of the ladies.

Who cares what Socialist Lawrence O’Donnell thinks! He says he’s a Socialist and we’ve spent decades and hundreds of billions of dollars to defeat these terrible ideas.

(Remember, whenever mentioning Lawrence, it is important to include the Socialist description so everyone knows that his belief system is abnormal.)

dude. mark me down as a conservative that could give a rats ass that people who volunteer to enter chaotic mob scenes (acting as if they are some type of military reporter) with a camera get punched, raped, blindfolded or worse. It’s all relative, I elect to drive the freeway, might get mangled. My choice. There had already been stories of the regime shutting down al jezeera, treating media like the enemy but when our media get treated roughly, we are supposed to pour out empathy. Sorry. Realist here. They make the big bucks and they do what their boss tells them to do or, they don’t. Not my problem.

Perhaps another way to view @Liberal Tormentor’s, @skoorbekim’s or even my point is that out all of the things which occurred yesterday, all of the news that should be reported, Lawrence O’Donnell apparently thought that a 32-second rant by a radio host was worth almost two minutes of his show’s limited time.

Sure, and O’Donnell gets that Limbaugh is an entertainer and is frequently just joking around. It’s my impression that you really have to listen to him for a while to get a good sense of when he’s serious and when he’s trying to wind people up. Still, sometimes Limbaugh goes too far and it’s interesting when he realizes he’s gone too far and has to backtrack. That’s all.

Like I said more than once, yesterday some conservatives here were outraged (rightly so I think) when a few liberals said they didn’t care about the safety of a FNC correspondent and photographer hurt in Egypt. Seems to me that turning around and defending Rush for saying he doesn’t care about the safety of correspondents in Egypt is hypocrisy. Make sense?

Paul, I listened to the bit.To me, he basically saying the NYT and other liberal media have spent their entire existence verbally attacking Conservatives so it’s hard for him to feel alot of sympathy for them being attacked now. Do I think he actually wants them physically hurt? No, and I don’t believe any rationally thinking person does.

ps, the bit with the message from Obama to the Egyptian people was priceless!! Especially funny since he used actual quotes from Obama talking about his “enemies” here.

Doesn’t answer my question. Nice spinning and dodging. And is it only liberals being attacked in Egypt? Does one’s feelings about the media in general justify not caring about what happens to reporters in Egypt?

I dont listen to RUsh much, but i happened to catch that little bit oin my way home. I get it its a schtick. i was a bit shocked at first, than relized it was meant for exactly this. MSNBC covered it, mediaite covered it ans im sure Daily Kos and Huffingtons Journal did to. he got exactly what he wanted.

(O’donnell is getting roughly 13 % of the 8PM market) It is kind of a race between O’Donnell and Chris Tingles to see who bottoms out first.

By the way…I want all journalist out of harm’s way…they are becoming the story.

Rush went to Afghanistan to visit the troops; you really ought to know that before you claim otherwise.

As for LOD, he is just jealous. MSNBC needs to get a clue and start reporting the news rather than attacking other people. LOD looks just like a little man when he does stuff like this; just like Rachel looks like a little girl.

What a bunch of punks on MSNBC. I wonder how much longer the new management will put up with their bull crap?

If I had a nickel for every time someone here claimed that someone on MSNBC or liberals in general were “jealous” of Beck or Rush or Palin or FNC, I would be able to retire on my own private island with millions to spare.

And Rush found a way to get out of the military himself, while many of us served our country.

Nice editing by O’Donnell, as per usual. Rush was referring to NYT journos that were detained. Not beaten, not attacked, not in the hospital. Reporters that were detained.

LIMBAUGH: Ladies and gentlemen, it is being breathlessly reported that the Egyptian army — Snerdley, have you heard this? The Egyptian army is rounding up foreign journalists. I mean, even two New York Times reporters were detained. Now, this is supposed to make us feel what, exactly? How we supposed to feel? Are we supposed to feel outrage over it? I don’t feel any outrage over it. Are we supposed to feel anger? I don’t feel any anger over this. Do we feel happy? Well — uh — do we feel kind of going like, “neh-neh-neh-neh”? I’m sure that your emotions are running the gamut when you hear that two New York Times reporters have been detained along with other journalists in Egypt. Remember now, we’re supporting the people who are doing this. Obama gave a speech. In fact, he’s made another message to Egyptians. This one has not aired in public in this country because it wasn’t intended to. This message is specifically for Egyptians. We just got it this morning.

You are correct, they do get paid, although there is no draft so they did volunteer. “Quite good”, I believe you would get an argument about that.

How is that remotely the same? A police department detains someone who is expected of a crime or has information about a crime. They still have rights. Reporters in Egypt have been detained by gangsters and thugs for doing their job. What rights do they have? Your comparison does not work at all.

Being detained against your will for trying to report in Egypt is indeed being attacked.

Paul, reporters in Egypt don’t have the same rights they do here at home.

Rush is starting, you liberals better get your pens and paper out.

Don’t worry, Mr. Soros has that well taken care of. The Limpballs Unit at Media Matters is up and running at full steam.

I already said that. That’s why the comparison to a U.S. police department doesn’t work, and it’s why being detained against your will in Egypt is indeed being attacked..

“What followed was remarkably unseemly display of disregard for reporters who have put themselves in danger.” Make that reporters who voluntarily put themselves in harms way—books to follow.

If it is OK for Rush to say he doesn’t care about the safety of reporters

.
Is that really what he said?

He proclaimed to millions that he doesn’t care about their safety or did he just:

“Rush Limbaugh Declares “I Don’t Feel Any Outrage” Over Journalists Being Detained In Egypt (Update)”?

Once many years ago my mom got mad at me for calling my sister stupid and ugly but I was like mom that is so not what I said. I said she is not very bright or attractive.

Rush, keep the hate alive!

I’m sure Crazy Larry will call out Colbert tonight for mocking Anderson Cooper and for mocking suicide.

Having worked my way to this point I feel obliged to point out that one little piece of nit shit that you left in the coffee grounds right over there. :)

United States Army

I think Lawrence O’Donnell ought to go report on it firsthand.

i don’t watch rush, palin or beck except for the occasional videos – but what i do do is defend the bs/lies that are spread. i defend when valid – which is pretty much always the case. you still haven’t addressed whether you think what o’donnell presented actually represented what rush said. if you think it does, then i suggest you are the one guilty of hearing only what you want to hear….

I think it is so wonderful that the three (3) of you stand so ready to defend Lard Limbaugh as he reclines on his ample gelatinous derriere, much as he reclined on his ample, gelatinous hemorrhoid-laden derriere through Vietnam, passing judgment on the reporters getting knocked around and detained and holding our troops in contempt. You remember something some of us tend to forget: They also serve who do nothing but stuuf their fat faces and criticize those who do serve.

He is an utterly disgusting, lying, blasphemer who ought ot be held in utter scorn and contempt by all Americans (and ex-patriate Americans).

BTW Tumbleweed: No one watches Lard Limbaugh on television. His short-lived show was an utter failure. He disgusted too many viewers.

Except the rest of the garbage so loves him.

Enjoy the snow last night?

I found myself having to drive from the Montopolis area of Hwy. 71 to Northwest Hills around 01:00 hours (friend stranded when his car decided to turn left on its on). A wicked night.

Vasco da Gama! Beef au jus! All the Garys in Indiana!

Rush Limbaugh is the face of the G.O.P. and how could anyone take them seriously? His comments are no joking matter….!

Indeed. He plays other areas of the anatomy much better.

Fait accompli! Quid pro quo! Au lait parfait!!!!

Another “if a tree falls in a forest moment”

I drove in to work on MoPac and was the only one there. Taco Shack was open.

Gee, really Lawrence? This from a guy that has caused more hurt and pain for people than Limbaugh!

Another pompous ass of the David Gergen school.

Face facts Larry. If Rush Limbaugh had been attacked, the whole leftist media and every liberal clown on any board they could type on would be joking about it.

You’re a class liar R-King. Rush’s TV show ended because he wanted a uniform time slot and since his show was syndicated, he couldn’t choose one on his own. The ratings were good, but then what do I expect from the Left, the truth?
