Schultz:
Chris Matthews: There’s Nobody I Like to Bump Into More Than Hillary
Barack Obama might give Chris Matthews a thrill up his leg, but the "Hardball" host said Wednesday, "There’s nobody I like to bump into more and meet than Hillary Clinton."

Andrea Mitchell Lauds the 'Living Legacy' of Anita Hill, Knocks Claren
According to MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell, Clarence Thomas' accuser, Anita Hill, is a "living legacy." The cable anchor on Wednesday fawned over the woman who, 20 years ago, charged the now-Supreme Court justice with sexual harassment. At no point did she offer a tough question or challenge the honesty of Hill.
Instead, Mitchell treated the Brandeis professor as a larger than life figure,…
Politico's Allen: 'Very Ruthless' Romney Campaign 'Roped In' Christie
Mike Allen of Politico has provided a text-book illustration of how the liberal media can spin a positive into a negative for a Republican. Instead of focusing on the political pluses of Chris Christie's endorsement of Mitt Romney, Allen has twisted the event into a negative that reveals the "very ruthless" efficiency of the Romney campaign. Moreover, if there's a politician around today who…
Maher: 'If a Brick Came Through Rupert Murdoch’s Apartment' Fox 'Wou

Matthews Shocker: Dems Controlled White House and Congress for Years a
Unlike most liberal media members, MSNBC's Chris Matthews isn't sure the Occupy Wall Street movement is good for the president or the Democratic Party.

MSNBC's Matthews on How to Beat Romney: Say He's One of the 'Pigs' on
MSNBC's Chris Matthews on Tuesday worried about the emergence of Mitt Romney as a serious front-runner and a threat to Barack Obama's reelection.

Suppose they say, he's one of the pigs on Wall Street?"

Al 'Resist We Much' Sharpton Calls Protests 'Occupation Wall Street' F
It really is amazing this man has his own one hour, nationally televised show on a so-called news network.

Schultz Says Racism Behind Republican Opposition To 'Occupy' Movement
Serious question: if he ever had it, has Ed Schultz totally lost it? There's lots to be said about the Occupy Wall Street movement. But of all the cockamamie comments, of all the nutty non sequiturs, surely Ed Schultz's takes the crazy cake.
On his MSNBC show tonight, Schultz claimed that what lies behind Republican criticism of Occupy is . . . racism. In a beyond-bizarre analogy, Schultz…
Sharpton: 'Occupy' Movement Ideally About 'How We Distribute The Wealt
Thanks, Reverend Al. Really. Sure, we know that the left is all about the redistribution of wealth rather than its generation. Still, it's instructive to hear a leading lefty say it in such stark terms. As clear a statement of the manifesto since candidate Obama told Joe The Plumber that "spread the wealth around" is the way to go.
On his MSNBC show this evening, Sharpton declared that…
AP Editor: We Still Consider Herman Cain A Second-Tier Candidate
Yeah, Herman Cain won the Florida straw poll, crushing Mitt Romney and Rick Perry. And OK, a CBS poll recently found him tied with Romney among likely Republican primary voters. Sure, he also scored a resounding victory in another straw poll this weekend. And Rasmussen just today released the finding that 56% of GOP voters like Cain's 9-9-9 plan.
So is that enough to make the Associated…
Sharpton Doesn't Know Higher Percentage of Republicans Than Democrats
As Al Sharpton ridiculed Herman Cain on MSNBC's "The Last Word" Friday for saying blacks have been brainwashed into voting for Democrats, the reverend ended up proving the Republican presidential candidate's point.

Martin Bashir Attacks Herman Cain During Eulogy For Civil Rights Leade
For the second day in a row, MSNBC's Martin Bashir used the death of one man to attack a completely unrelated conservative.

Bashir on Cain's Calm Style: Republicans 'Do Not Want to Hear From a B
Herman Cain is now leading the polls for the Republican presidential nomination, and the folks at MSNBC are clearly scared to death.
