It is very impressive I am sure it will be a big splash in the news cycle…so……..oh, by the way, President Obama….well, he is in Afghanistan addressing the troops and he just finishing signing a force agreement and strategic partnership with President Karzai….I am sure no one will compare these two events. Oh, by the way, we have an opportunity to stop by a yogurt shop later today. Shall I pencil that in? Sir? Sir? Sir? Are you feeling ok?” » Posted By MurphTheSurf3 On May 1, 2012 @ 4:37 pm Required reading for his staff Yeah, hand him the etch a sketch » Posted By MurphTheSurf3 On April 26, 2012 @ 4:03 pm Read through Robert Draper’s ‘Do Not Ask What Good We Do’ today SO, THE CONSPIRACY BEGAN ON DAY ONE…Surprised? A dinner meeting in the midst of the inauguration aimed at overturning the results of 2008 election. Republican Reps. Republican Sens. Plus Met to Hatch a Conspiracy Pledging Not to Cooperate with the newly elected President of the United States To tear him down whenever possible and in any way imaginable To oppose his legislative agenda, especially his economic agenda. At a moment in time when the nation was poised on the edge of an economic collapse, of another Great Depression, these members of the opposition party declared their intention to be the party of NO…no matter who got hurt. NO MATTER HOW MANY OF US GOT HURT. From day one, they put their own personal power interests ahead of the American People. They made a promise: no matter how good a piece of legislation might be, we will be against it to undermine him (Obama), to undermine them (the Dems), to undermine those who support progress. THOROUGHLY, INCOMPREHENSIVELY DESPICABLE. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/04/25/robert-draper-anti-obama-campaign_n_1452899.html?1335380028 » Posted By MurphTheSurf3 On April 26, 2012 @ 4:02 pm Romney Not Proud to be an American There was a time – not so long ago – when each of us could walk a little taller and stand a little straighter because we had a gift that no one else in the world shared. We were Americans. That meant something different to each of us but it meant something special to all of us. We knew it without question. And so did the world. Those days are coming back. That’s our destiny. That is what he said. First of all, Mr. Romney, I never stopped “walking tall” “standing straight” as an American. I’m sorry that you did. By, all means, if you find being a American so shameful, there are any of a number of other countries that I’m sure you could move to. I am sure you could convince them that you always wanted to live there. Use a little of that etch a sketch magic. Why don’t you find one that compares to America. Second of all, to the Republicans in general, I seem to recall in the last election, that Michelle Obama, not the candidate for President, but the wife of the candidate, said “For the first time in my adult lifetime, I’m really proud of my country …”, and she, and her husband got lamblasted for daring to say such a thing. How unamerican, how unpatriotic it was to say such a thing; to suggest that she was not always proud to be an American! WHERE IS YOUR ANGER TODAY? Where is the Democratic Anger. Democrats are, quite frankly, not as good at the hard hitting propoganda game as the GOP, but here is a case where it is just so obvious. Now, four years later, apparently it is okay, not for the spouse, but for the candidate himself, to say that not only is he unable to stand up and walk tall, but, apparently he thinks his supporters are not proud to be Americans! Really?!?! Are we going to hear the outcry we heard last time over a comment like this? » Posted By MurphTheSurf3 On April 25, 2012 @ 5:43 pm KQ….yes I wrote a venom laced HP comment in response to the attack. I do not think it is going to stick. Warren will win but it will take more effort that it should to do this. » Posted By MurphTheSurf3 On April 24, 2012 @ 6:48 pm bito…notice how everyone behind him looks stoned out of their minds bored….compare that to an Obama crowd…..Lord, I really hate Mitt and the entire Pub establishment. » Posted By MurphTheSurf3 On April 24, 2012 @ 6:45 pm So disgusted by this liar. You know, there is a family culture in the Romney clan that what cost George Romney the GOP nomination and the presidency was THE TRUTH. Remember the “I was brainwashed by the generals” statement…remember his release of 12 years of W-2’s…remember his eventual assessment of the Vietnam War….remember…well the Romney’s do and so Mitt speaks in circles and criss=crosses on everything he says. He makes purposely contradictory statements. He is the Ryan budget guy until he is not when he for lower student loan rates and will keep people fed. New week, new policy….and the GOP in its hatred of Obama is willing to play etch-a-sketch Mitt. Infuriating. » Posted By MurphTheSurf3 On April 24, 2012 @ 6:44 pm Joe Arpaio Plans To Release New Findings In Obama Birth Certificate Investigation MORE IMPORTANT FINDINGS ARE IMMINENT.

Terse and Terrific. » Posted By MurphTheSurf3 On April 16, 2012 @ 8:49 pm Kes….All good observations. “Mind numbing and completely aggravating at the same time”….oh yes. Sort of a scream of “WHAT TF” with a dull buzz in the background. Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. » Posted By MurphTheSurf3 On April 16, 2012 @ 8:48 pm Just e-mailed to NBC- Meet the Press. Mr. Gregory has done it again. Two members of Congress, Michelle Bachman and Kirsten Gillibrand, were his guests. I suggest you get a stop watch and time Bachmann’s time on air vs. Gillenbrand. She had 30 percent more time. Bachmann was allowed to run through her long list of anti-Obama statements without challenge from Gregory and when Gillibrand tried to respond she was cut off by both Gregory (with new questions) and by Bachmann with contradicting statements.Gregory seems generally uniformed as he appears incapable of bringing alternative interpretations or facts to bear on statements by his guest. I regularly find new reasons to dislike Gregory’s moderatorship of what used to be a flagship program on your network. On this anniversary of the sinking of the Titantic, this note to you seems very appropriate. COMPLAIN. Imagine this much incompetence where Russert used to sit. » Posted By MurphTheSurf3 On April 15, 2012 @ 6:23 pm Gross….of course he might be charging the money to keep him from baring all…. » Posted By MurphTheSurf3 On March 27, 2012 @ 8:55 pm True, but I will do an entire package including wallet size strips for a saw buck. you bring the camera of course. » Posted By MurphTheSurf3 On March 27, 2012 @ 7:10 pm NEEDED SOME GOOD NEWS TONIGHT…SO HERE IT IS Newt Gingrich is cutting back his campaign schedule, will lay off about a third of his cash-strapped campaign’s full-time staff, and has forced out his manager as part of what aides are calling a “big-choice convention” strategy, communications director Joe DeSantis told POLITICO. Michael Krull, a former advance man and a college friend of Callista Gingrich’s who took over the campaign after a staff exodus in June, was replaced last weekend by Vince Haley, who has worked for Gingrich for nine years and currently is deputy campaign manager and policy director. “We’re focusing exclusively on what it’ll take to win what we’re going to be calling a big-choice convention in August,” DeSantis said in a phone interview Tuesday night. PER POLITICO » Posted By MurphTheSurf3 On March 27, 2012 @ 6:51 pm Which is another problem. The more I look into this the more troubled the whole thing gets. Where are the medical associations and professional organizations? I do not get it. I would have thought these would have been among the first vices raised. » Posted By MurphTheSurf3 On March 21, 2012 @ 7:23 pm I agree but who is going to challenge this? Where are the professional organizations, the medical ethics boards, the etnicists? » Posted By MurphTheSurf3 On March 21, 2012 @ 7:21 pm Ad Lib….your position is one several others have put forward. It is more direct and stronger than the draft I offered. Speaking practically….what if the result of that statement is the doctor saying he/she cannot take the woman on as a patient given her position since it puts him/her in an untenable position re. doctor/patient relationship. I think you are correct but shouldn’t that argument be coming from the medical associations, licensing boards, medical ethicists…but it is not. » Posted By MurphTheSurf3 On March 21, 2012 @ 7:20 pm Does this place your physician in a no win situation? What if he/she says that given this, he/she cannot accept the woman as a patient. Just asking if you have thoughts on this. As to why the medical associations, physicians organizations have not spoken up….I am puzzled as well. The Tenn. legislature is reworking its most recent awful law because a conservative physician has said he cannot support it because it violates his oath as a physician. » Posted By MurphTheSurf3 On March 21, 2012 @ 7:16 pm Sally….what if such a statement, which I admit is strong and more pointed than mine, results in the doctor stating that he cannot provide such a statement…what is the next step….walk out? How practical is this? Any thoughts? » Posted By MurphTheSurf3 On March 21, 2012 @ 7:12 pm Ad Lib….I left something on this stream regarding a statement that a group is putting together for women undergoing required medical procedures to access medical services. Could you look at it and tell me what you think? Time Out if quiet tonight I need to access some smart folks. It was posted at 03/20/2012 at 7:14 PM and is a couple of spots up from here.

MTS » Posted By MurphTheSurf3 On March 20, 2012 @ 7:18 pm Any thoughts from the planet???????? WHAT’S A WOMAN TO SAY WHEN FORCED TO ACCEPT LEGISLATED MEDICAL PRACTICES TO GET THE MEDICAL CARE SHE IS ENTITLED TO? Several friends and I have been working on a statement to be read to medical personnel, including doctors, by women forced to accept examinations, tests, probes, etc. as they seek medical assistance to which they are legally entitled. HERE IT IS. WHAT DO YOU THINK? SUGGESTIONS? “Doctor, I am submitting to this unjust, degrading and offensive procedure because I must. I am seeking a perfectly legal remedy to a condition which the law declares is mine to control. I understand that the law passed by our state legislature requires you to do this, but I must tell you that your participation is disappointing and seems to be a violation of the spirit of your oath to ‘do no harm.’ I am being harmed. Not only must I bear the burden of this physical and psychological intrusion, but I also am required to pay for it adding to the burden. You may now carry out this procedure although I regard it as a violation of fundamental human rights.” » Posted By MurphTheSurf3 On March 20, 2012 @ 7:14 pm Hi Planeteers.

MSNBC makes it easy to contact all of its show via a common contact page. If you have the patience, you can reenter your suggestion to one show after another. » Posted By MurphTheSurf3 On March 15, 2012 @ 2:31 pm Entertainment AND Propaganda. Your insight is spot on, but underneath the ratings game that drives the profits there is a powerful motivation to control the hearts and minds of the viewer. Fox does it hamfistedly. We distort. You comply. But MSNBC, Link and Current all lean left (and say so) but each is also honest in this and generally make an effort to stick to the facts (and then lean left on the meaning). » Posted By MurphTheSurf3 On March 15, 2012 @ 2:30 pm I sent this same story with a top headline that read: “why can’t MSNBC join NPR in standing up for the TRUTH” Went to Andrea Mitchell, Martin Bashir, Neil Ratigan, Chris Matthews, Al Sharpton, Rachel Maddow, Ed Schultz and Lawrence O’Donnell » Posted By MurphTheSurf3 On March 15, 2012 @ 12:24 pm WHY DON’T MEDIA OUTLETS LABEL LIES AS LIES? Bravo, NPR! Instead of focusing on reporting the truth, too many news outlets have decided their job is to tell the competing sides of any given story, no matter how unsupported by the facts one side may be. In a positive move, National Public Radio recently issued new editorial guidelines rejecting this false balance. Disavowing the worst excesses of “he said, she said” journalism, NPR’s new code of ethics states that “if the balance of evidence in a matter of controversy weighs heavily on one side, we acknowledge it in our reports.” This is an important step to curing what has become an endemic plague of false fairness in American journalism.

Primary Victory Speech; April 24, 2012
How unamerican to suggest such a thing!
How unpatriotic!!!
– who is really behind 9/11 and why the Dems are at the root of it,
– the location of the Obama FEMA concentration camps (not his own, those are ok),
– the 20 billion dollar bunker that Obama has built beneath the WH for his friends when the planned Armageddon comes,
– the planned Obama family vacation on the moon to celebrate his reelection and the luxury space station and moon base that are being built right now (since he is planning on stealing the election)
– a massive voter fraud conspiracy involving more than 500 million votes for Democrats in the last 8 years,
– Obama’s plan to hold all cabinet and staff meetings at upscale golf courses for his entire second term,
– and the Soros connection to Obama’s birth (well how do you think Barack got to go to college?).
Gregory might as well have told Gillibrand to shut her mouth in his extraordinarily biased moderating of her interaction with Bachmann.
