Sewing with Al Sharpton at 3PM and Blogging the Newsbusters

Sewing with Al Sharpton at 3PM and Blogging the Newsbusters.......it's a tough job but someone has to do it.

It took a lot of thinking to reply and thank you for your beautiful response.  Actually I did not watch Rev. Al Sharpton too often as it did not fit in my day schedule, but after Bill kept berating him I became more curious, even though I basically did enjoy Rev. Al and liked him.  

I also watch Chris Matthews each day on MSNBC so I changed my routine so I could see what was going on.  Well, as a dem I did like his show and then as time passed i noticed Reverend Al Sharpton was quite an inspirational and humble individual, as I just kept casually listening to his words.  

He has said he has made errors and he is sorry about that, he has said he likes to keep fighting for civil rights not just about race but about anyone that has been judged unfairly and he also used Gandhi and non-violence as a model.  

He is also quite inspirational talking about his diet and like me, he did not have a dad and he really enjoyed and valued the attention he received from James Brown.  

I do not know if you listen to the Jesus Christ Show but like that radio show on Sun mornings right before CBS Sunday Morning, Rev Al has offered me a certain peace--not just talking about politics but about life, in general.  

I do not think anyone could say he has not worked hard for civil rights--agree or disagree--and it is a wonderful thing to have the first African-American President in the White House.  I imagine he was very proud to go to the state dinner.  

On that idea, alone, regardless of political affiliation, can't Bill O'Reilly, Levin and others be happy for Reverend Al and other people that are simply so happy about President Obama.  

For Bill O'Reilly to constantly try to minimize the effects of past racism in America is just not right or realistic.  

Just in South Africa in recent times people have suffered.  

Not talking about politics, now, but shouldn't we acknowledge this injustice just as Jesus would have noticed these situations.  

So again, why does Bill constantly have to rant about his hatred of Reverend Al Sharpton and call him a thug.  It is hurtful to me.  

Again, Bill is acting like an arrogant teenager in the ilk of Eddie Haskell who cannot come to terms with life.  

This is where I am coming from........

and now I have Sewing with Al Sharpton at 3PM and 

the tea party with Chris Matthews at 4.  

Bill O at 5, finish with 

Piers Morgan at 6 and then the 

big dog walk at 7.........unless Ronnie starts bugging me earlier then everything gets all messed up.  

Yes, I do find the words of Al Sharpton to be soothing.   

I hope you respond      and thank you for your discussion.

Bill Maher is the ultimate democratic ball and chain.

Bill Maher is the ultimate democratic ball and chain.
First, he donates his big money to the party as if that gives him leave to open his big mouth and we are obligated to listen due to his generosity.
This is a case of obvious self-promostion not even thinly veiled.
While I do not agree with Mrs. palin she does get to talk. Women in politis are talking these days without fear of a a sexual slur as retaliation.
I have said this sooooo many times. If Bill Maher is such a talented comedian let him find a different way to anser back in disagreement.
If he wants to be funny, fine--politics, fine--but for what he said there was really no answer back. He is disgusting. He effectively ended the conversation.
I would defend Sarah Palin any day--I do not have to agree but I definenitely want to hear what all sides have to say. The political conversation moves things forward.
We are all talking, now, and we all make mistakes.
Shall women not join in the political conversation due to a possible disgusting retribution from Bill.
As a dem.....Bill Maher qualifies as a jerk. Now, Bill, to that you can answer back.

Jake Tapper Goes Easy on Bill Maher, Omits His History of Defaming Republican Women

CNN's Jake Tapper didn't ask guest Bill Maher once about his vile rhetoric against conservative women in a lengthy, two-segment interview on Friday's The Lead.

Tapper asked all soft questions of the liberal comedian who gave $1 million to President Obama's super PAC in 2012. He also brought up the Lewinsky scandal, which enabled Maher to laud Bill Clinton as "respectable" and a "great guy." This from a man who has a history of despicable vitriol against Republican women.
"Bill Clinton, let's be honest, at some point if you hang around long enough like an old building, they say, you become respectable and that's Bill Clinton now," Maher said. "Somehow the guy, who the Republicans accused of everything from rape to murdering Vince Foster and the most corrupt guy, he's great now. He's a great guy. They love him."
As NewsBusters has documented, Maher has received a warm welcome from the network before, including when Piers Morgan wished he would "remain gloriously uncensored on HBO."

Friday just marked the latest CNN welcome. Tapper asked Maher easy questions about his "new plot" to flip districts, if he would run for Congress, his "favorites for 2016," and his "frustration" with the administration's marijuana policy. Below are Tapper's questions (the question about Monica Lewinsky was incomplete due to a broadcasting issue):

THE LEAD
2/14/14
[4:35 p.m. EST]

JAKE TAPPER: Why just hurl your comedic barbs from the sidelines when you can directly tamper with how Washington works? Well that's the new game plan, anyway, for liberal comedian Bill Maher host of HBO's Realtime with Bill Maher. He says this year his show will be entering into the exciting world of outright meddling with the political process by working with his fans to flip a district and knock a lawmaker of his audience's choosing out of power. I spoke with Maher and asked him to explain his new plot.
(Video Clip)

TAPPER: So Roll Call, one of the newspapers of Capitol Hill, asked some Republican members of Congress what they thought. Congressman Steve King, Republican of Iowa, he said you should run. He said quote, anybody that would put their name on the ballot is deserving of our respect. So let's see if I can start to respect Bill Maher. That was his thing. And then he said also, then all of the comedians can make fun of you. Have you ever thought about running for office?

TAPPER: So you were active, as you mentioned, in the 2012 election. You gave $1 million to Priorities USA, the pro-Obama super PAC. Do you have any favorites for 2016? Is there anyone you want to see run, not for comedic purposes but for leadership?
                                  
TAPPER: I remember a time when you were more of a libertarian and you didn't like either party. Do you think that you have changed in your politics, or do you think the parties have changed?   

TAPPER: You're outspoken on the issue of marijuana. The President made headlines recently by saying that marijuana, in his view, is no more dangerous than alcohol. I interviewed him not long ago and I asked him about that. (...) So it is within the power of the Attorney General to change the classification. Are you frustrated, though, more largely, about the President's position on marijuana legalization, or do you support where he is because he has changed a bit?

[Commercial Break]

TAPPER: You're still doing a lot of standup on the weekends, and you've got some dates coming up in some pretty red states. Greenville, Suth Carolina, February 22nd. And at the BJCC Concert Hall in Birmingham, Alabama, on February 23rd. When you go into these red states, how do the audiences receive you?

TAPPER: Finally, what is it like watching all this intense winter weather coverage from sunny Los Angeles?

Bill O'Reilly's Unending Hatred Rant on Al Sharpton: You're Just Making Your Self Ugly Now


Bill's unending hatred rant on Al Sharpton

I'm afraid you have your story backwards.  It was amazing when everyone else was talking about the wonderful things Nelson Mandela had accomplished when Bill O'Reilly just had to jump in with the fact that he was a communist.  It was out of line, Bill did say Mandela was a great man that evening but it was totally out of context and out of line with every other network when he just could not help himself from blurting out he was a communist.  As if he was going to rain on the parade with "the truth."  As if his statement was going to stop people from loving Nelson Mandela,

Bill needs to check his hatred for Reverend Sharpton--he is really becoming quite ugly about the whole thing.  Bill can't handle the fact that we have a black President and that Al Sharpton is happy about the situation.  Bill can't handle the fact that there have many many injustices done in this country in the not so distant past and still occurring.  

Last evening, Bill failed to mention the giant applause our President received at the stadium--applause from the world for his accomplishments.  No, Bill had to go again into a hatred rant on Al Sharpton.  Al Sharpton is genuinely happy about President Obama and the accomplishments that have happened in our country and Bill just can't take it.  

Bill, check your hate at the door the next time before you go on national television, as my grandma said, you're just making yourself ugly now.

Bill O'Reilly Catches Sharpton In Another Deceptive Video Edit: 'They Don't Come Lower'

Noel Sheppard's picture
Fox News’s Bill O’Reilly on Tuesday again exposed MSNBC’s Al Sharpton for deceptively editing a video, this time to make it appear the Factor host was disparaging Nelson Mandela within hours of his death.
“Sharpton uses the occasion of Nelson Mandela's death to dishonestly attack people he doesn't like,” said O’Reilly. “They don't come lower” (video follows with transcript and commentary):
BILL O’REILLY: Now, as a young man, Nelson Mandela had Marxist leanings and dealt closely with communists. Check out a recent article in The Economist magazine if you want specifics on that. Anyone who knows anything about South Africa understands Mr. Mandela's philosophy.
Enter the far left MSNBC network and Al Sharpton. As we have demonstrated in the past, Sharpton is a dishonest purveyor of information, a man who could not care less about reporting what's true. Last Friday, using Nelson Mandela as cover, Sharpton attacked me.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
AL SHARPTON: He said about Nelson Mandela last night on Fox:
O’REILLY: 95 years old. Nelson Mandela, I spent some time in South Africa, he was a communist, this man. He was a communist, all right?
SHARPTON: [Unintelligible]
KAREN FINNEY: But don't you wonder where in South Africa? It wasn't like he was hanging out in Soweto that Bill O'Reilly I'm quite certain.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
O’REILLY: Well, here I am in Soweto where I did spend some time. That woman Karen Finney, a former spokesperson for the DNC, obviously made a mistake. So I am expecting a letter of apology from Ms. Finney by tomorrow. If she is honest she'll send it over. If she is like Sharpton and not honest, she will not and I will let you know what happens tomorrow evening.
As for Sharpton, he is a flat out deceiver. Here is what I actually said about Mr. Mandela.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
O’REILLY: 95 years old. Nelson Mandela, I have spent some time in South Africa, he was a communist, this man. He was a communist, all right? But he was a great man. What he did for his people was stunning. The sacrifices that he made. He could have repudiated and got out of that prison. He wouldn't do it.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
O’REILLY: So you can see that Sharpton cut out all of the context as he has done many times before. Now, any other commentator on national TV would have been fired for doing that, but MSNBC seems to be afraid of Sharpton. The thing is, Sharpton uses the occasion of Nelson Mandela's death to dishonestly attack people he doesn't like. They don't come lower.
Story Continues Below Ad ↓
O'Reilly exposed Sharpton in August for similar deceptive editing.
But this is clearly acceptable at MSNBC; people there do it all the time to trash their political opponents.
At this point, one has to assume that the executives at MSNBC - and conceivably NBC as well as Comcast - are aware of what Sharpton and others do with video clips, and mustn't be concerned by the dishonestly or the lack of journalistic integrity.
And why should they?
MSNBC isn't journalism, and everyone knows it.
Which forces me to once again ask: When will cable and satellite providers move this farce of a network away from the legitimate cable news channels on their program guides?
If MSNBC is going to make up news rather than report it, it shouldn't be in any way associated with real news organizations.

Just wondering........when Bill O says he is the only one listening to the folks what do you think he is talking about. 

He came here to San Diego and the prices were 97.00 to 142.00 for regular tickets. For the meet and greet with him and Dennis Miller it was 539.00. 

Do you think those are the people he is constantly referring to as "the folks." 

He again said last evening he meets people all over the country who are very angry about Obama care. 

Does he ever talk to all of the other folks who want health care and who voted for President Obama. 

Juan Williams tried to tell him this but he immediately shut him down and would not listen to his facts. 

I am thinking that he imagines the 539.00 payers he meets on the Bolder and Fresher gig are the folks. 

Does he think this group represents the common people as you have indicated. Well, what do you think.........Just who are these so called "folks".......

Bill is always claiming his show is one of the few in the media that actually base their points on the facts.  I think his interpretations of "the folks" are a fact that he has incorrect.

Claiming "the spin stops here" arrogantly and nightly.......based on our President, and his ideas and accomplishments......wouldn't this be an area where Bill is incorrect...going on the fact that President Obama was elected and re-elected.  Bill is incorrectly discounting this very large group of people in his statement.

my response to Kingfish17 on Newsbusters.......talking about Geraldo Rivera in favor of health care for everyone.

Geraldo is the only sane person on Fox News..they have to have him in order to stay on the air......

Diversity of Views at Fox News: Geraldo Rivera Proclaims 'I'm for Single Payer' Systems Like Sweden

Who says the Fox News Channel is all conservatives? Sometimes, its employees are socialists who want America to be more like Sweden.

Take Geraldo Rivera on his radio show on Friday. When a caller complained he wasn't extolling the positives of Obamacare, he said the program is “deeply flawed” because “we let the insurance industry write the legislation,” when he prefers a “single payer” government-dominated health care system like Sweden or Canada, where private insurance is banned.

RIVERA: It’s great to have health care. I want everyone to have health care. I want single payer, I want Medicare for everybody. I want it to be like Sweden. I want it to be like the United Kingdom or Canada. I want everyone to have health care. This program [Obamacare], though, is deeply flawed, and I think part of the problem is [that] we let the insurance industry write the legislation, and when the insurance industry, like they did for the prescription plan, Part B [sic], when they write the legislation, they stack the deck so they're the beneficiaries.

It makes sense. If I was in the insurance industry, I'd do the same thing. You write a law that makes people have to come to you. And then when they come to you, you can charge them what the market will bear, and when the market is mandatory, it bears a whole lot more than when the market is voluntary.
But can’t this also describe putting the politicians in charge of a government-run health care program? “You write a law that makes people have to come to you”?
