Happy When America's Hurting, Gloomy When It Wins
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Of course we all know that it's absolutely wrong and mean-spirited to suggest that anyone on the left could conceivably be unpatriotic [though an exception might be made for unrepentant terrorist friends of Barack Obama who accept from Vietnamese communists rings made from downed US planes.] So while we won't be using the u-word here, two recent MSNBC shows offer a remarkable contrast. Compare and contrast Chris Matthews' giddy reaction to news of difficulties in the markets with Mika Brzezinski's gloom in begrudgingly discussing the Iraq surge's success.

MSM rejoices in America’s difficulties, dejected by its success. Ping to Today show list.

Holy Crap! She sounds like a sour old woman who can’t see good at all.

And her face!!!! That pinched up scowl like she smelled something bad.

Yikes!

The Newsbusters site seems to be off-line, which is a shame because Americans need to see just how overtly unpatriotic (there, I said it) MSM/DMB reporters have become.

While channel surfing this morning I got a glimpse of Mika.

Wow, she needs an enema and quick.

What a sourpuss.

Whoever is responsible for watching this crap and doing this for us, should know that I, for one, wholeheartedly and completely thank them for it.

I could not stomach looking at that sour-faced witch, even if she was NOT so biased.

And I suspect that every time she said "Petraeus", that she was actually saying "Betrayus".

I cannot find sufficiently descriptive words to express my disgust for her and the Matthews idiot.

There's a reason for that:

Titus 1:15
To the pure all things are pure: but to them that are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience are defiled.

For America-hater/dems/liberals, the financial woes couldn’t have come at a better time-—and they couldn’t be MORE happy about it.

It’s SO obvious. They should learn to tone down their glee.
