So Andrea Mitchell needed to ask who has the moral high ground on

the "debate" on racism in the campaign--Hillary or Trump. Then she needed to know if it was a discussion that we needed to have now. Ima gonna break my tv.

And right on cue, she moves on to ..... BENGHAZI & e-mails.

let's see if she gets on Tweety's show tonight. HRCs speech is all over the MSMedia and the internet. I think that most Americans appreciate a call for decency and civility and an end to divisive hate-mongering of the white-supreminsts. It is now up to the Republican party to purge the hateful elements from their party. Otherwise, they ain't never going to win the white house. And in just a few more election cycles, they'll lose the House also.

I don't agree with everything, but they are speaking intelligently and substantively.

Andrea is an over the hill hack. She needs to "spend more time with her family" -- as DTs would say, "Immediately! Immediately! Immediately!"

And to be fair, a lot of non-Fox journalists fall into this category:

They are not conservative or clearly partisan that way, but instead fall into this gray zone of "Hmmm....let's compete and see how "fair" we can be." It's all a competition to affect this very sophisticated, studied air, like "I'm viewing all this from on high, from a microscope".

I just feel like screaming "You're not viewing this from up on high! You live in this damn country too. If Trump is your President, he'll fuck things up just as nice for you as for me."

There'd be no tax hike on the richest Americans like her, and of course the Don. In fact taxes for her may even go down as the big cuts to SS, public education, women's services, etc...kick in.

To ME Greenspan has never been a top-flight reporter. NEVER. I've often heard people whisper that she had great "connections," in the business and the more I've seen of her over the years, and I can only speak for myself, it HAD to be the connections.

Having the nerve to fix her mouth to ask WHO has the moral high ground between Hillary or tRump in regards to racism

I'm just gonna say it. STOP PERSECUTING HER. Just STOP IT. There's NO "there" there. http://bluenationreview.com/hillarycoverageiscrap/

I tweeted other versions of this to her, maybe seven or eight times.

She's just a disgrace. I can only guess that maybe she's just damn jealous that, in her personal quest to be some sort of female alpha, Hillary Clinton leaves her so far back in the dust that she's lost somewhere in a neighboring country. I have no other explanation for it. I get it about playing devil's advocate but GOOD GRIEF - she, uniquely, takes it beyond the outer reaches of the solar system.

Keeping the illusion of a close contest so ad rates can stay inflated. She's nothing but a shill for her network. Reality be damned, corporate revenue comes first.
