Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah Brian Williams and Nicole Wallace cut off the latest idiot

[malaise]

to correct the record

[TruckFump]

1. I love it!

I had the asshole on mute on the TV...and then I saw Williams and Wallace and rewound and started listening to them. Nicole called Barr a liar! Wow...that is a lot IMO for her.

[BeyondGeography]

2. Nicole just got to say "crazy shit" on live TV

[Chin music]

4. Stay tuned to have cuss words like HBO on regular tv now. Kids don't need to hear that.

Wish they'd refrain from that. imho.

[awesomerwb1]

7. Oh please.

LIke they don't hear "cuss" words on the 50 youtube videos they watch every day.

[Chin music]

10. We go high, when they go low. Nuff said.

[java108]

15. Can't say the "going high" tactic has worked all that well for us.

[rurallib]

24. I wouldn't say MSNBC is "we"

not by a long shot.

Any kid in school hears lots of cussing every day.

[misanthrope]

33. When Obama went high

he got kneecapped. That was naive.

[Chin music]

35. Maybe, but thats what Mrs Obama asked us to do.

I tend to agree with her when saying things like fuck in a senate committee hearing. On political tactics....im w you.

[Celerity]

42. How did that work out?

Rethugs are relentless, ruthless, cheating, racist, lying, hateful thugs who will stop at NOTHING to gain absolute power.

Playing nice is a path to failure.

[Chin music]

43. I think I made it clear. Im w HRC. Go hard til we get this back under control.

Im by no means a political pacifist. I think we definitely should fight fire w fire. As you can see....no other dems said fuck today, which is what alllllll these posts started w.

[awesomerwb1]

46. Nah, wrong time for that.

That time has passed. This is politics, not a church event.

[PennytheDog]

28. Oh please.

I have a 14 & 12 year old. Trust me they have the whole vocabulary.

[Chin music]

32. Sorry to hear that. That's not my family.

That kind of stuff isn't said. I'm aware it happens other places. In school. if kids swear, it's addressed immediately.

[CaptYossarian]

38. You should hear what the teachers say.

If kids have "virgin ears", it's probably the only parts that are left.


Just sayin'.

[Chin music]

40. Heh heh.

I don't hear stuff like that when not in teachers break room. Teachers rock the world. Not going to hear even a glimmer of reproach from me, or my family, about our American public school teachers. Glad to have them just as they are. (Wish they were paid more though.)

[CaptYossarian]

50. My daughter's band teacher started this year by telling the students to STFU,

using all four words. Her history teacher also expressed himself similarly.

BTW, the band was told to repeat "measure 69" and they lost it. That's when STFU was said. They aren't as innocent as we'd like to believe. My then 14-year old told me the whole story. Once the genie leaves the bottle, all bets are off.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

41. People with real vocabularies deploy words selectively. Perhaps you teach your children that. . . nt

[qazplm135]

49. I am an attorney

I have quite a large vocabulary. And sometimes, a swear word can be just the right word to convey just the right meaning.

Cuss words are like salt, a little goes a long way, too much ruins the food, but there's nothing wrong with a little bit of it.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

51. Exactly. Well stated. . . . nt

[Bernardo de La Paz]

39. Like it used to be that prominent public people set a better example. Please. . . . nt

[world wide wally]

8. Do you prefer "fake news" with cleaned up language?

[Chin music]

9. I PREFER that we set ourselves above the gop.

Tv is bad enough. Reember the 'We go high when they go low" plea from Mrs. Obama? I do. And I work to have the children around me, and teens, use good grammar without the F bomb etc. But, that's me. Lot's of work guiding kids.

[jberryhill]

11. If the "children" are watching MSNBC, good on them

They'll also learn that some adults speak that way.

[Chin music]

12. Why the flack? You think saying fuck in a senate hearing is just A ok Jerry?

I don't. Either we go high, or we shut up about that. Kids dont need to hear things. INCLUDING overhearing it when parents are listening on tv. ESPECIALLY from a party of self righteous church folk, who are always appalled at bad behavior. (the gop)
PS...We dont use that lingo in my house or in school. Some classes may have this on and hearing the Chair of a Senate Committee say it is real bad form....but like i said in my posts above...thats IMHO. That remains what it is. Not going to fight about it.

[TheRealNorth]

16. Will someone think of the children

I am more concerned about the cuts to education, damage to the environment, roll back of consumer protection and labor laws then I am about a few bad words on TV.

I prefer that when they go low, .we go high and we go low - chop block the bastards.

[Chin music]

17. Me too. Why add to it?

Just real bad form imho. Totally unnecessary even though it was trump was an effin idiot. That will be on tape forever. Lindsay is devoid of shame.I made a comment about the f bomb. Wow.

[LisaM]

25. I generally agree (especially excessive use of the F word at public events with kids around), but...

when I watch Canadian or British TV, I notice that they are a lot more permissive about what language gets aired, and given that I think people in those countries tend to be a bit more well informed and civil than some sub-groups here, I have to wonder if a little more cuss language is okay, as long as it's balanced out by a lot more facts.

[Rambling Man]

27. I'm with George Carlin on this one

[Maru Kitteh]

18. Does it not occur to you that kids might have the capacity to notice

the hypocrisy of self-righteous church folk engaging in such coarseness when it suits them?

Kids all experiment with pushing boundaries on their way to adulthood, it's a behavioral instinct. But give kids some credit. They will decide for themselves what kind of language they will use, and under what circumstances, as they make the passage from adolescence to adulthood. Hiding reality does not give them a good basis for informed decisions. Let them see what those self-righteous church folk really are. All of it.

[LanternWaste]

44. Though I don;t think it's "ok", I think weighty criticism of it is simply self-righteous posturing

But as you said, it's all just opinion.

[Skittles]

55. look where we are from "going high"

it's time to play hardball with these fascist assholes

[Bernardo de La Paz]

45. That's a false choice and you know it is. . . . nt

[Kali]

21. bwahahahahhaa!!1

do you even have kids? I think mine came out cussing.

hiding reality is not a healthy way to raise or teach kids. of COURSE teachers and other adults around them should model better language and behavior, but adults on the teevee talking about reality does not need to hidden.

[Chin music]

22. I said it was an opinion. I choose not to use F bombs around my kids or kids in my

tutelage. (?) It seems a lot of real negative comments are coming from being pissed Lindsay said 'fuck' as a committee chair in the US Senate. To me its akin to church. If you'd say that in church...that's on you. I know the intent here is to be nasty enough to get me to say something so someone can flame me. What is it? No star by my name? Supporting E Warren? Why the nastiness about it? good grief. Say FUCK all you want. I thought it was pretty reprehensible in the opening few minutes on top of it. We're supposed to be nice here. Why is it ok to rip on me all the time? FREELY. Knock it off. I can have an opinion, and I said IMHO. I'm glad you got a big laugh out of it but, just bc you're laughing doesn't mean its not being mean to another Democrat on DU. I'm not attacking anyone except Lindsay Grahmn. All this is just being nasty imho. So what? I made a comment. I never alert on anybody here. Block me if you cant refrain from taking pot shots at me will ya? I'm human too.

[Kali]

23. laughing at silly shit is akin to having and expressing an opinion.

enjoy your victimhood and have a great day!

[SCantiGOP]

48. Thanks for the effort, chin music

As Mark Twain said, cussing is often just a sign of a limited vocabulary.
We do have too many people here that apparently get some thrill like a 12 year old by putting the F bomb in thread titles.

[Mr. Evil]

31. What is so terrible about the word "shit?"

It's perfectly okay to say "crap" and both are almost always used in the same context. Why is "crap" safe and "shit" abominable? Someone please explain this shit to me once and for all because I simply find it ridiculous that somehow hearing the word "shit" is tantamount to destroying everyone's oh-so-frail sensibilities.

[CaptYossarian]

47. Now you have me wanting to hear Bruce Willis say

Yippee-ki-yay, mother fornicator or Danny Glover say he's too old for this defecation.

The first time I saw Fargo, it was on TNT. Buscemi told William H Macy he was going to "shoot his FUNNY dog, his FUNNY wife and his FUNNY kids." (I was on the floor by the second FUNNY.)

I equate cuss words as being totally honest with my feelings, but I'll never be confused with having Tourette's. I'll agree with Chin: it depends on the environment. My kids knew all the words early on. I didn't want them to be in college and one day get the "vapors".

[Miles Archer]

3. Cornyn

They cut him off while he was asking Barr why Obama didn't do more to stop the Russians.

[malaise]

6. Too good

[renate]

5. I really hope this is a trend!

HUGE props to MSNBC for not just broadcasting the outright LIES of the Attorney General of the United States, for Pete's sake, without comment.

[duforsure]

13. All media needs to stop the promotion , and the repeated showing

Of trump and the GOP's propaganda, and stop showing them saying things they know are all lies . Congrats to Nicole for standing up against them for doing this. The American people are fed up with all they're lying and corruption ,and then accusing others of doing what they are actively doing. They will pay dearly for it in 2020 if they don't corrupt that election too for this illegitimate president to win again illegally. trump and the GOP are against OUR Democracy , the rule of law, and against the truth, and the American people see clearly now all republicans are not fit for office , and are corrupt and criminals, and cannot be voted for ever again.

[StarfishSaver]

14. Nicolle Wallace's glasses

Link to tweet

Is it just me, or does anyone else love it when @NicolleDWallace puts on her glasses and reads stuff out loud because that means somebody's about to get schooled?

[redstatebluegirl]

19. I really really like her. I don't agree with her politically, but I love her.

[Wounded Bear]

52. She's a conservative, but she's a patriot first...

[trueblue2007]

29. @NicolleDWallace is awesome. i wish she was the atty general instead of that trash heap William Barr

Barr is a toady for Trump the Traitor.

[TheRealNorth]

20. It's about times

Letting them repeat their lies is not good journalism.

[yaesu]

26. fake fox news cuts out whenever a Dem starts asking questions, I m told, as I wouldn't watch

that crap if my life depended on it.

[Crowman2009]

37. Or if it's a real asshole like O'Reilly, they just cut their mic.

Not to mention the constant interruptions.

[pdsimdars]

30. But they are playing WAYYYYYYY too much. I can't stand to hear them speak. They are disgusting

[True Blue American]

34. Hirono?

Using Schiff's words. Do you think it is OK?

[pdsimdars]

54. She is one Hero, No? (as in Hiro-no)

[Bernardo de La Paz]

36. Context-free post you specialize in. Please don't. . . . nt

[sarcasmo]

53. Nice MSNBC is using the word liar.

[Baconator]

56. We're not all watching the same TV you are...

How about some context?
