Lawrence O’Donnell on MSNBC: Cheney Speech ‘Sleazy,’ ‘An Abomination’

The only abomination is Larry O’Donnell and MSNBC posing as news or journalism. Put them out of business.

[Mamzelle]

Cheney gets them ratings that Obama cannot.

[hinckley buzzard]

Lawrence ODonnel is a sleazy abomination but he is useful as a measure of damage assessment. When he goes insane on TV like this it is a sign of a direct hit by a whole bomb load. Recall his rabid slathering at the mouth re the SwiftBoat Veterans speaking the truth to power in 2004.

[Prince of Space]

Ah, Beckel....isn't he the guy that wrote a check to a hooker for $1500 - and then stopped payment on the check? (Too bad the hooker sued him and won!).

IMO he's just a sleazebag-for-hire and says what he's supposed to say.

I think O'Donnell really believes the crap that comes out of his mouth, so the DNC trots him out (after happy hour, of course!) to spew the latest talking points.

[BuckeyeTexan]

I'm not so sure either. Cheney sums it up best with this.

So we're left to draw one of two conclusions - and here is the great dividing line in our current debate over national security. You can look at the facts and conclude that the comprehensive strategy has worked, and therefore needs to be continued as vigilantly as ever. Or you can look at the same set of facts and conclude that 9/11 was a one-off event - coordinated, devastating, but also unique and not sufficient to justify a sustained wartime effort. Whichever conclusion you arrive at, it will shape your entire view of the last seven years, and of the policies necessary to protect America for years to come.

It sounds like Obama came to the second conclusion - that 9/11, while tragic, does not necessitate being at war.

Hey Larry, where’s Curly and Moe?

[ronnie raygun]

Larry is waiting for someone to put a sock in that mouth of his!

[TribalPrincess2U]

Me thinks this sour looking, bitter, middle aged, never was, doth protest too much. But it is hilarious how they scream and cry.

[boomop1]

The shit is going to hit the fan with this dope alleged president and I can't wait.

[ExTexasRedhead]

Media self-destructing and losing credibility even more if that’s possible. Pray that many of these loons end up in the unemployment lines.

[americanophile]

Lawrence O’Donnell

Who? Honestly...who?

[popdonnelly]

What MSNBC does in broadcasting this vile propaganda is both wrongheaded and malevolent. They really should stop. They’re starting to sound like something out of “1984”.

[Titus-Maximus]

Larry O’Donnell is the white Mau-Mau and he shouts a lot of people down. He is a tool, a mechanism, a robotic psycho who shouts these grand accusations with all this false pious outrage that is completely removed from the reality. A lot like the Olbermann idiot that Ben Affleck captured so well in his spoof.

Stalin used the shout-down intimidation technique and it worked for him.

Thank you for posting that.

I heard several sound bites during the day.

It is so refreshing to hear someone speaking honestly, forthrightly and with conviction and not a bunch of babbling with weaselly words

[muleskinner]

MSNBC, which is owned by General Electric, is a daily a anti-Republican hate fest. Why else hire Matthews, Oldermann and Racheal Madcow.

As pointed out by O'Riley last night, if Obama's environmetal and cap and trade policies are passed, General Electric stands to make 10's of millions. The CEO of GE is Jeff Immelt - his second job is to proclaim the infaliability of Obama, his third is to be Obama's presonal masseur.

[jesseam]

My wife had thought I was too severe on liberals but when she saw this POS she has no doubts that liberals are are as bad as I have always maintained. She thought Cheney’s speech was right on.

[magooey]

Obama knows what will happen if we are attacked under his watch.

Yeah, he'll go to Saudi Arabia and bow again to their King. That will make it all better.

Practically, the MSM will engage in massive misdirection in conjunction with the powers that be. They will be fighting like mad to retain control in a fluid political situation.

Now what do you have in mind?

[NotSoModerate]

What you saw with ObamaCheney earlier was ObamaCheney describes the other side's position fairly.

CheneyObama comes out and lies about the other side, it's the only way he can talk.

[Buck W.]

Creepy liar!
