RNC Chair Accuses MSNBC’s Thomas Roberts Of Asking Question ‘Loaded With DNC Talking Points’

video
» 144 comments

If you want to see perfect proof of just how divided our country is (and you don’t want proof that will make you want to vomit), look no further than the first 30 seconds of this segment between MSNBC anchor Thomas Roberts and RNC Chair Reince Priebus. It basically went like this; Roberts played a clip of Mitt Romney discussing how President Obama is ruining America. He then asked Priebus what the GOP is going to do considering how well President Obama is saving America. Priebus then accused him of asking loaded questions since, duh, President Obama is ruining America.

Ah, discourse. Seriously, I’m starting to think that we’re heading towards a huge plot twist where we find out that there were actually two America’s all along and these guys have just been accidentally talking about different ones. It will be like the “two island” reveal on Lost all over again.

This segment was doomed from the beginning. Roberts initial question of “Why can’t the Republicans work with the President to help move the economy forward?” could easily be translated to “Why is your party such jerks?” Whereas Priebus’ accusations that Roberts was asking “questions front-loaded with DNC talking points” could easily be translated to “Why is your network such jerks?” It turned into an argument that wasn’t even about ideology but about actual numbers. Before long, Roberts was accusing Priebus of moving figures around like Lucy van Pelt with a football and you can fill in the rest.

Really, you know what? Forget this. It would be better if we all just went back and watched that old Lost episode instead.

And I say that even though I hated Lost.

    And Mediaite “conservatives” wonder why they get pointed and laughed at every second of every day of every week, etc, etc,….

  • The Real Royal Emperor

    I think Reince caught Tina+Tampa’s Conservative Victimization Syndrome.

  • Gloves Dash Donahue

    Priebus is right here. Why bother with a blatant Obama supporter asking a contentious and fallacious question? Roberts is trying to do his part for the team and Priebus doesn’t want to play a rigged game.

    Reverse the circumstances, say Little Debbie Schultz was treated like that on Fox, and she would have pitched a fit.

    Rather than Lost, the question is, why did no network rerun the last two seasons of 24?

  • JustAsking2012

    So is that what you now do? Lurk on this site, posting in response (or in attack of) about three different posters? Is that all you do?

    As for this “Conservative Victimization Syndrome,” which you have copy/pasted into just about every thread you participate in… let me ask you, what is it? Any time a Conservative says, “This isn’t right,” you copy that in. Is it possible for them to ever be unfairly attacked, or is it your contention that every attack, fair or not, is justified and acceptable?

  • Anonymous

    Translation: why can’t you be more like Fox and ask questions loaded with RNC talking points?

  • JustAsking2012

    Because it’s easier than actually debating, and you don’t need to have any facts… just snark, sarcasm, and little regard for truth?

  • JustAsking2012

    Would you say the same thing if it were a Democrat being interviewed on FNC?

    “Just answer the question, don’t complain?”

  • The Real Royal Emperor

    I am increasingly weary of this argument. FOX “News” has a rightist bias, whilst MSNBC has a leftist bias. We all know that. Why keep proclaiming some sort of journalistic purity? Why deny the the obvious?

    Take off your Fox delusional glasses.  This was not an Obama supporter, he was presenting facts, I realize that being used to GOPTV I mean FOX facts all of their personalities are GOP operatives but that is not the case everywhere else.  Most other media outlets don’t show partisanship and they shouldn’t.  All democrats that show up on GOPTV get the interrogation treatment and are not allowed to talk.  I know that is foreign to GOP supporters because they only listen to FOX facts but there is a difference between GOPTV and everyone else.  the GOP is allergic to facts and  keeps moving the goal post with this President, I wish you would just admit the falsehoods in your posts and move on.

    While we can agree that MSNBC has some left-leaning tendencies, how do you stack that up against a channel that is relentless in its repackaging of the news to promote a Republican (not even conservative) agenda? The mere fact that something like six or seven of their regular contributors were either 2008 contenders or considered 2012 contenders, from Palin to Huckabee to Gingrich to Pawlenty to Bolton, et al, is unprecedented. There’s simply no other news channel in the country that is as tightly bound to a political party as Fox is.

    So while I would never say that MSNBC is journalistically pure, in the realm of promoting an agenda, it’s left in the dust by Fox.

    I’m tired of the media claiming that both sides are blocking any change, when you see things like the Republicans blocking getting rid of tax breaks for corporations to leave the country. The Republicans run a front for the 1% and the transnational corporations and everyone who is anyone knows this. But it’s not going to end until we get campaign finance reform and stop the influence peddling by the multinationals.

    Honestly, I think that many here would like to have an honest, civil discussion of the issues — and they do occasionally pop up. But unfortunately, I think a number of commenters tend to be bomb throwers and that automatically elevates the snark and lowers the level of civility. I wish it wasn’t the case, but the shrillest comments often drive the discussion.

    The other thing is that mediaite tends to attract equal numbers of liberal and conservative partisans and that has an effect, too. (I find I often need to take breaks from being here because the noise level gets to be deafening.)

    It actually used to be worse, but mediaite posted new guidelines recently and I’ve noticed that some of the worst offenders have disappeared.

    Nature of the beast, I’m afraid. I quite like trawling through these comments on occasion; there are a bunch of regulars who have a fairly well-ingrained dynamic going on but most of the wit tends to come from those on the ‘left’. Some of the stock phrases were stale before they were even conceived, but I dread to envisage the lives of anyone who embraces the current state of the GOP.
    There are definitely arguments to be made against Obama, but to spew the ‘Marxist’ insults and to denigrate Obama for being a community organiser (as if that is oh so awful, especially compared to the backgrounds of some of the beloveds of the right) totally deligitimises any valid criticisms that could be made. I’m going to the pub.

  • Dale Hogue

    I afraid that you’re complaint may not hit the target you’ve disignated.  General statements of the kind you’ve constructed in your second paragraph doesn’t accomplish anything more than to stir the pot that is already boiling.  Obama is not only disliked by those who didn’t vote for him, he is hated for the stupid things he has done since taking office.  He appears not to have any common sense when it comes to judging what has to be done and what his own left leaning platform requires.  Insults of any kind are in the eyes of the beholder and the owner of the ox that is being gored by these supposed insults.  It would have been better for the leaders of the Democratic Party to vet this man much more deeply and more thoroughly during the primary process than what was superficially done.  You’ve given a perfect example of what many of these posters do in their post. You’ve used your critical remarks about what has been posted in the past about a politician you support to make a few snide remarks  – mostly unprovable — at the other side of the political token.  I suggest here, that you may be more a part of the problem than what I’ve suggested in my post. I doubt that you are willing to admit this to a total stranger.  Please understand this, I’m not taking a shot at you personally, but giving you a tad bit of criticism that should be taken to heart by you and other posters who do this much too often in what should be a civilized discussion of very important subject matter. Speaking of pubs in general, when discussions turn into arguments in pubs, voices are raised and tempers flare. And when this happens nothing is solved and sometimes more than a person’s feelings get hurt. I’m sure you understand what I’m saying. I’ve seen old friendships shatter over things that don’t matter as much as a hill of beans during these encounters. Think on it, at least a little bit, and get back to me when you have some time your not using for other things.

    Let’s be real. “Obimbo,” “Moochelle,” “Marxist,” “Socialist,” “slithered,” etc., etc., etc. are hardly “in the eye of the beholder.” They are playground-quality slurs reflecting an extremely low level of discourse.

    Equivalent insults for the right from the left are somewhat less colorful but probably no less hurtful.

    This site reflects the divide in America between passionate people on the right and passionate people on the center-left (There are no “hard leftists” or “far leftists” of any note left in American politics and haven’t been for years.)

    Heck, based on his policies, Obama is a moderate Republican (an almost-vanished breed).

    Add in Internet anonymity and voila! you’ve got Mediaite.

    My fear is when the bile that stews here leaks over from the digital world into the analog — which it shows every sign of doing. No question, the social fabric binding us together as one nation is stretching beyond it’s ability to resist, and in the absence of some sort of unifying principle, could shred for real.

    Obama attempted to provide that unifying principle and was shut down, shouted at, and blocked at every term. He even sacrificed major chunks of his platform to doomed efforts at bipartisanship. Which has gotten him into trouble from the “democratic wing of the democratic party.”

    On the upside, the Republican party shows signs of impending self-immolation this political season, and one can hope that some non-crazy center-right party can eventually emerge from the ashes.

    I not sure we see Obama in the same light.  I doubt that a president can unify the people when he insults those with whom he is not in agreement.  Has he done that?  Yes, he has and quite often.  I have found it hard to believe him when says anything about what he stands for or what he is going to do, because he too often does something interely different than what he said he was going to do.  In our neighborhood where I grew up that was called lying through your teeth. 

    And, once a person was stamped with the name liar, it stuck forever more.  Nobody in our group — we were not a gang — placed any credence on what the liar said.  Generally speaking, the liar just drifted away and was pretty much given the cold shoulder from that day on.  Obama, in the opinion of his political enemies, is a liar.  And not a very good one at that.   

    You, as a Democrat, or, at least an Obama supporter, won’t see him as his political enemies see him no matter what he does or doesn’t do as president.  Bill Clinton was a better president than Obama, but, he too, was a liar.  In fact he was impeached by the House of Representatives during his first term in office for lying to Congress.  The members of the Senate didn’t have the balls to find him guilty of lying to Congress even when they know that he had lied to them.  My point for bring this up is that, while Clinton was a liar, he never attempted to change our economic system to a socialistic system nor did he attempt to make decisions by fiat rather than go through the proper channels indicated in the Constitution of the United States.

    And he did appoint numerous people whom he called his Czars.  He completely ignored the fact that most every American was aware of the fact that he was doing it in order to control them as the Czars were controlled in Soviet Russia under the control of the Communist Party leaders and the Premier of the USSR.  More than 50% of the American citizens don’t trust him as they have trusted others who became president regardless of their political affiliation.

    The Republican Party is vetting their candidates for president and leaving no stone unturned.  They should be commended for doing so even if it may hurt the Party and the candidates.

    The Fact is the labor force has shrunk and income levels have gone down since Barry slithered into the White House.

    You mean this?

    Just imagine MSNB asking a question based on fact, as in:  Why is Harry Reid blocking all the bills coming out of the house that will help to rectify our problems….justr imagine it…I know you can’t because MSNBC would NEVER ask such an honest questions.

    Hacks, one and all.  The National barak channel is an embarrassment to the US of A.

    But Priebus OWNED the liberal talking turd! What freaking interview did YOU watch. Liberal talking turd had ONE JOB to obfuscate the truth about the 8.5% unemployment! Yet every time he did he got SPANKED. When he was confronted with the fact that there are actually LESS people EMPLOYED NOW, even though the population has obviously grown, he got that “liberal in a church” look.  When he kept trying to go back to that he got JACKED because even if that LIE were TRUE it is FAR LESS than what Team Obozo promised! The bragged about SIX percent, remember?  When he listed all of the promises that Obozo has failed to keep the liberal kept trying to change the SUBJECT!!! Good job Reince Priebus!  I never thought much about Priebus even though I get his newsletter’s but hey, SECOND LOOK REINCE PRIEBUS!!!! Good job buddy!!!

    Even though you’re wrong, don’t you think you’d be pretty stupid to judge the treatment of ALL liberal lying turds by the treatment of ONE LIBERAL LYING TURD? Jus’ sayin’

    Kick out the best governor you’ve had in years? I hope the hell you have an invested retirement fund and the dhimmi’s take over again. You’ll be working at WalMart when you’re 80 just to eat because like all the retirement accounts touched by democrats and unions there will be no money for pensions and health care. Then you probably approve of the death panels, that is until it’s your turn to get the axe.

    GWB never had to use a teleprompter to give a two minute speech like O’Dumbo does. O’Dumbo can’t sting 5 words together without 25 oh, aw, and oh’s without the teleprompter. All we heard tonight was more lies and promises he’ll never keep because he doesn’t have the brains to follow through on anything. He  lies because he knows 95% of his voters are actually stupid. Keep on being used by the idiot and soon you’ll wish you hadn’t.

    Roy,

    Well, that’s quite impressive, if true, considering that Dubya isn’t half as bright as Obama.
    Btw, his extemporaneous remarks were the reason he was considered a moron. So, maybe he should have used the teleprompter, after all.
    And how come all you wrong-wing slobs are all experts on the teleprompter, anyway. Does Flush Limpbough conduct teleprompter clinics? Or do you all just happen to be t v directors?
    Also, are you aware that you morons who believe the repulsivians are the real morons? That’s because you’re being conned into voting against your own interests.
    Actually, that’s just the proof that you’re stupid. As to why you’re stupid, who knows?

    No, they don’t. I said they sound like DNC talking points. They do.

    MSNBC is nothing more than a simpering, sniveling, propaganda wing of the DNC. God help this country if enough Americans aren’t bright enough to see  the outright bias and left wing political agenda of these hacks in the MSM. The left has been indoctrinating the youth in our schools for almost 50 years and have presented completely biased reporting to those who aren’t really paying attention for that long. Consequently many are easily swayed and fooled if they make the mistake of trusting these talking heads who are socialists at best..

    Look up the GOP record to see the bills they’ve proposed. Anti-abortion is not the answer to the problems facing this country. They have put forth zero bills of an economic nature without their purse strings’ holders attached. Wake up and turn off Faux. Every bill has been anti-female and thank God the dems have enough sense to see the farce for what it is. The GOP agenda is to stall as long as possible even on ideas that they previously championed. Why? Can you figure it out yet?

     Thanks for your service!!  But, that’s just it; your getting clips.  If someone is not answering the question, etc., then they should be corrected to get back to the question.  You do it; we all do it every day!!
