Republican Party bans MSNBC over 'offensive' tweet' [W:39]

Re: Republican Party bans MSNBC over 'offensive' tweet'

Or transported in such techniques as "souls to the polls".
Many voters are not known for their intelligence, only their ability to be led to a polling place...
And once at the polls on election day, get ready to wait up to 8 hours in "DEM" locales.
Aren't you glad you just dropped in ....

Both parties do cater to a lot of idiots.The idiots that democrats cater to are those that believe republicans are racist, the war against women and other lies that pundits on MSNBC and others like them spew.

Re: Republican Party bans MSNBC over 'offensive' tweet'

The right-wing social engineering bills at the state and federal level as told to us by Noot Gingrich is a start.
Can you back this up linc and be specific with what issues you disagree?
The RNC platform speaks for itself.

I've NEVER been one for book-marking anything.
I came in too late to computers and didn't have the time to learn.
Not to say that I shouldn't start.

Just answering your questions specifically would have me reading and searching for some time.

Your tone is fine, but the socially conservative laws and platforms are a matter of record . :peace

So you can't even give one example of something in the platform with which you take issue?
 
Re: Republican Party bans MSNBC over 'offensive' tweet'

Yet you implicitly criticize the intelligence of Democratic voters.
I didn't go there. :peace

Actually, I criticize the intelligence of the average voter, regardless of party...

What about the idiots that Republicans cater to, since you're in a thrashing mood ?

I am not a in a thrashing mode.I am simply stating a fact. No intelligent person buys the war on women,republicans are racist, or any other similar nonsense that MSNBC and other far leftists spew.
 
Re: Republican Party bans MSNBC over 'offensive' tweet'

As i said in another thread about this topic...

It was stupid for MSNBC's twitter person to send out and I'm sure they'll get slapped on the wrist, but much like I've said to other things (such as when people were shockingly appalled that a place that proudly declares its christian heritage all over the place actually gave money to staunch christian organizatoins) I don't really see it as something to get worked up about because it's not surprising. Someone at MSNBC thought it was okay to make a jab at conservatives, they realized they'd get bad pub for it, and so they retracted it. Yawn.

MSNBC president apologizes to RNC, fires staffer responsible for tweet - POLITICO.com

If "fired" is a slap on the wrist, then sure.
 
Re: Republican Party bans MSNBC over 'offensive' tweet'

Could be - I don't pay a lot of attention to inconsequential, minor, representatives - and I don't get the US cable/political channels here, with the exception of CNN.

You're not missing anything.
 
Re: Republican Party bans MSNBC over 'offensive' tweet'

Exactly--she's all about ****ting all over the 4th, which is fine with me.
The NSA coalition across party lines is still holding.

I love the "I support the 2nd", meaning I'm a better American than someone who doesn't toe my gun line.
Priebus has had to reassert the "gag" order on the GOP in effect since the shutdown was over.
Huck, Ted, Cruz--the usuals .

Yeah, that made no sense.
 
The tweet was pretty tame by today's vitriolic standards.

But it was pretty dim for the guy to post it if his name associated/traced back to a national news network.


Appropriate chastisement. (The universe is once again in balance....)
 
...People still watch MSNBC? It's literally worse than FOX in terms of the amount of opinionated bull**** that they spew. Calling either of them "news" is laughable.
 
At least MSNBC dont claim to be "Fair and Balanced"

Re: Republican Party bans MSNBC over 'offensive' tweet'

Don't forget their narrative is also republicans hate women too.

There's probably a higher percentage of Republican men who are in a healthy hetrosexual relationship with women than the Democrats can claim.

Most men who I know who don't like girls aren't Republicans.
 
Re: Republican Party bans MSNBC over 'offensive' tweet'

I'd expect more from a "news" network. MSNBC can sometimes be just as awful as Fox News.
 
Almost every story on Fox is pro Right and anti left, and I do watch it a lot. That is fine, except they are not honest about it. And millions of Fauxites take it as Gospel.
There was a study out awhile back. Compared to MSNBC, FOX actually is fairer and more balanced. Personally, I haven't watched the news on either of them, or CNN, for a year and a half. I don't believe anything of value was lost.

Re: Republican Party bans MSNBC over 'offensive' tweet'

I am trying to find out if "the Republican Party" is a private or public entity. It cannot be a government entity -right?

So it can ban MSNBC as there no 1st Amendment requirements to carry their members political speech out to any 'press' (cable channel)....

*lost on this line of thought*

The headline to the link in the OP was sensational nonsense, as so many are these days. All they did was to ban MSNBC employees from appearing on Republican Party-sponsored TV and prevent them from sponsoring Republican Party primary debates. The Republicans also started a general boycott.

That is perfectly within their rights as an organization.

Do they talk about urinating, and deficating in Hillary's mouth? Do they have members of their line up constantly having to apologize for taking their vitriol too far? No.

MSNBC has attempted to do the Fox treatment to Republicans, they're just really bad at it. Fox just lies all the time, but they do a decent job of tempering their vitriol.

By "lie" you mean refuse to use the media matters template like MSLSD admits to doing? FNC does indeed present commentary from a right of center position, but that is 1 outlet out of 7 possible tv network outlets. They scare you so much that you must lie and distort them? How weak your position must be to want so badly to shut down dissenting speech.
 
One more time, my problem with Fox is it is essentially dishonest AEB the fair and balanced motto. They aren't fair or balanced, yet millions of watchers believe unconditionally. Another thing I have noticed that I am sure is significant, but I am not sure why. People can say anything they want about MSNBC and I dont think many even bother to defend it, and if they do, without much passion, because, I think the libs are not as personally invested in MSNBC as thought leader. On conservative sites if you criticize Fox, the fierce defense of the Fox News company is almost like it was a personally attacking the conservative posters themselves. This post is a good example.
