As an U.S.A.F. vet, thanx for correcting the Romney advisor that the Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff serves the U.S. of A.!!!!!

MSNBC needs to rerun your interview with Trey Hardin on the rest of the shows tonite. This is utter hypocrisy of a Republican surrogate discrediting a top military commanders opinion because Obama is the current president. Martin's reaction was on point and deserved, we need more like you in the media.

Thank you Martin for shutting down that twerp who impugned the integrity of the Chief of Staff. This scoundrel never answered your initial questions and when you gave him something substantive to respond to he failed and smeared an honorable man. Did you notice he has the same sneaky chuckle as Mitt Romney?
Thanks again for being a true journalist. These operatives need to be put in their place. If they cannot or will not be responsive, they should be silent.

Go! Martin; Iam listening to your show as I do daily and I was proud as hell you got rid of "THAT BAT CRAP CRAZY". It was a beautiful thing to hear someone finally call them out. They let these nut jobs loose so they can spew their blatant lies and misinformation, how long did they think this was going to get by everyone. I for one am tired of yelling at the T.V. for someone to set them right. Thank you for making my day Beautiful!!!!!!!.

Thank You for Cutting off the Republican that was Demeaning the Joint Cheif of Staff, General Dempsey. The republicans seem to be getting more and more bold and Brazen. on msnbc's political talk shows. We Cheered when you cut him off and demanded his retraction. How dare he!!! Keep up the good work, we watch you every day.
Sincerely Bill Liles, Vietnam Veteran.

(62,325 posts)our leaders. They should never asked to do some of the things they have been asked to do over the past several decades. But that is not the fault of the soldiers.
And if there were consequences for those leaders who lie this country into unnecessary and criminal wars, it wouldn't keep happening. That is up to the people. But so long as the people refuse to demand that accountability depending on which party is in power, nothing will change and the military will continue to be abused.

That's just another reason why we can't let them lead the government.

You were a disgrace to our country. Glad Bashir stood up to your ugly lies. RT @treyhardin16: Appearing on @msnbc with @BashirLive

(61,695 posts)Basher gave him multiple chances to apologize for saying the Chief "serves Obama" when the General serves the US. He kicked his BUTT OFF!!! Dumped that bully's slimy ass.

(10,252 posts)I saw the bit where he shut down and booted off the winger. Martin is a proper English gentleman for whom honor still matters. He also has a wonderfully understated English sense of irony and sarcasm. Wish MSNBC would give him the morning show instead of that ranting and raving Joe Scarbrough.

(100,707 posts)I was sitting there watching and when that buffoon said what he said I swore out loud "he serves America you mfer", That's when Martin interrupted and demanded an apology .. Well Done !
flamingdem
(39,313 posts)and without hesitation. The usual host behavior is to kind of ignore the out of line guest and move on..

(39,961 posts)That news hosts start calling these assholes on their snide comments. What Trey Hardin said was "Well, he has to have that opinion because he serves the President, and therefore doesn't have his own opinion." How fucking dare you say that about a person that has served and is serving in uniform?
Hardin had no right to say it, and Bashir was right for calling him on insulting a military leader. Republicans only like the military when it suits them.
