Chuck Todd is fucking worthless

Did a segment about Joe McCarthy. Showed clip after clip of Joe McCarthy and various current Retrumplicans basically playing current day Joe McCarthys.

Did he point out that every single McCarthy intimidator was a Retrumplican? Nope.

Did he mention the Retrumplican Party at all? Nope.

See, it was just to show how "dangerously partisan" EVERYTHING is today.

You'd think if they could find clips of Democrats calling Retrumplicans "human scum", they would have shown them.

You'd think if they could find clips of President Obama or President Clinton threatening to jail reporters and accusing them of treason, they would have shown them.

You'd think if they could find clips of President Obama equating a whistleblower with a traitor that "should be hanged, they would have shown them.

Nope! The ringmaster of bothsiderism bemoans the shit circus he's helped create.

If there was justice in this world, "journalist" like Chuck Todd would be relegated to sitting around drinking warm beer, listening to toothless hayseeds brag about how good their sisters are in bed, and reporting bovine obituaries in some godforsaken 'Murika shithole.

The earlier excellent diary by TeamSarah4Choice pointed out Chuck Todd's blatant lie to the face of President Obama, and demonstrated that he had mentioned Syria four times before Todd said

You've not said the word, "Syria," so far in our conversation.

He wants to be everyone's friend, he is afraid to ask the touch questions and lets people rant forever to never contradict what is already known by the rest of the World to be false.

I don't understand why MSNBC includes him in all the "Special Programming" like the impeachment, he has nothing to bring to the table.

reminding people about the McCarthy era might make one consider all the Russians infiltrating the republican party these days.
