Mika Makes Excuses For Vile WI Signs—Till She Sees Them
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 02/21/2011 5:46:26 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Mika Brzezinski learned a life lesson this morning: look before you leap to defend liberals . . .

At the top of Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough referenced the hateful emails he and Mika had received from the left and the similarly ugly signs held by Wisconsin union protesters. Mika reflexively defended the vileness, saying that people were "hurting and really don't feel like they're being heard."

Aww. But later, the show rolled video of some of the Wisconsin signs, including one with crosshairs on Gov. Walker, another calling him Hitler, one accusing him of rape, and of course that great old standard "death to tyrants."

To her credit, Mika, admitting she hadn't seen the signs, did change her tune. View video after the jump.

I moved to Texas from upstate NY last week.

I have friends in Brockport, beautiful area, they grow more foods than people know, but I guess the Liberal Madness got to you. I don't blame you, NY is a dysfunctional mess and Up-State gets treated like the ugly step sister. Good Luck in the Republic of Texas.

I like it bette when mike just sits there and nods her empty head. She should never venture out into the speaking side.

I DVRed this whole show, looks like a doozy. Compassionate Mika :”Some of those people are hurting and don't feel like they are being heard.” You remember Mika saying this about the Tea Party protesters?

I located a direct link to the video for you at the posted site, priceless :

Mika has had to backtrack more than once recently- does my heart good in a small, petty way ;)

You’re in for a culture shock! A pleasant shock :)

"my problem with him is that he often allows the lefties’ ridiculous statements go unchallenged."

My problem with him is he's often leading the charge with his own ridiculous statements in support of the left!

I love freedom of speech and freedom of the press!!!

I want to know EXACTLY what the lefties like Mika Brzezinski are thinking.

It’s good to know your enemy.

As my favorite libinlaw stated when I asked how we were supposed to pay for some program or other -

“oh, the money’s out there”.

Showing what respect libs have for others’ private property.

Mika, admitting she hadn't seen the signs

That is one of the major problems with all of these 24-hour news programs. Their 'hosts' and commentators, many times, don't even know what is going on. That is despicable, considering that these 'hosts' and commentators are supposed to be the conveyors of information.

Can’t they just ignore this ridiculous show? How can we ignore it if it won’t go away or people won’t let it go away?

ENOUGH ALREADY!

Ditto!
