Am I the only person in the country who is annoyed by Alex Wagner?

[cornball 24]

[11 Bravo]

1. Nah, every right-winger I know can't stand her.

[Sheepshank]

10. YUP

and doesn't this follow a recent and similar train of thought trying to discredit Alex Wagner...by stating she quit MSNBC because she was tired of covering for the WH?

boy are 'they' trying hard lol.

[951-Riverside]

2. Mr. Jones is that you? n/t

[Rex]

3. What is it she does, that annoys you?

[valerief]

4. Everyone is annoyed by Alex Jones. nt

[cornball 24]

6. Pretty funny!

[conservaphobe]

5. You're in the wrong place.

[cornball 24]

15. Meaning?

[11 Bravo]

18. I'm guessing it will all become clear to you ... and fairly soon.

[cornball 24]

22. Care to expound on that?

[jeff47]

29. Well, you didn't bother expounding on what annoyed you

so apparently you believe we're all psychic. And thus we don't need to expound on why you're being an obvious troll.

[cornball 24]

31. "WE, ALL, OBVIOUS TROLL"! OMG! This is like "the mean girls" on speed.

[11 Bravo]

40. If I cared to, I would have. How about you? Any desire to fill in the blanks ...

with regard to your little unspecified peeve?

[MohRokTah]

7. I think MIRT has some cleanup on aisle 24. eom

[Beaverhausen]

8. I know it's annoying when someone so smart and funny is also gorgeous

but there you go.

[Laffy Kat]

14. She is sharp as a tack and beautiful.

And she has great hair. Yep, hate her.

[RagAss]

9. Is this your "warm-up" post before you start attacking Mike Brown?

Enjoy your stay.

[cornball 24]

37. Really great question to pose to a person with a wonderful African-American heritage of which

I am most proud. Another case of MIMBB! Pathetic!

[LiberalElite]

41. MIMBB??

[Agschmid]

49. I tried the Google, I got nothing.

[LiberalElite]

59. I tried it too and got nothing

so I decided to ask.

[pinboy3niner]

60. While waiting for an answer, we may as well post our guesses here...

My Iguana May Be Bisexual?

[LiberalElite]

61. My Ice Machine Broke Badly?

[pinboy3niner]

62. Men In Metal Booty Bondage?

[DURHAM D]

11. Yes. Except for Teabaggers.

[elleng]

12. Something like that.

So?

[butterfly77]

13. No.

[maced666]

16. Omg you are nuts - I love her!

Exactly what is it about her that bothers you - specifically -

[a kennedy]

24. ditto.....LOVE her.

smart...and so easy on the eyes....and I'm a woman, and not there's anything wrong with that. : ) I just really think she adds to MSNBC GREAT evening line up.

[NuclearDem]

17. You and the rest of the right wingers.

[cornball 24]

23. I truly don't understand why, in an explicitly identifed democratic discussion forum, that one is

excluded and implicitly labeled for expressing an opinion. I am not attacking Wagner's position on the important topics of the day. I am simply stating that, in my opinion, she is annoying! To conclude that a poster is a Repuke, a troll, a teabagger, etc. for expressing an opinion about form, not content, is perplexing. So if I don't concur with the opinions of the masses on DU, I am tagged an outsider! How the hell is that a democratic principle? I understand that democratically speaking, all have a right to challenge my opinions and I respect that. To automatically disqualify a poster for expressing an opinion, is to behave as if this were an exclusive Richy Rich fraternity/sorority. How very, very republican is that!

[Beaverhausen]

25. You have only a few posts on this board

and to come in and say that a good, progressive journalist most of us watch and admire annoys you doesn't look good for your bona fides as a Democrat.

You didn't even explain yourself in your OP, which is why we are questioning you.

[locdlib]

27. Mmmhm, Mmmmhm.

Still haven't said what she did/said to annoy you. To come on here and make statement that you are annoyed with someone without giving a reason for said annoyance is suspect. Get it?

[MohRokTah]

33. "The lady doth protest too much, methinks."

Hamlet, Act 3 Scene 2.

My absolute favorite Shakespeare quote that is most often misquoted.

[1StrongBlackMan]

53. I suspect where this went off the rails was ...

a single comment, without content or context.

[pinboy3niner]

56. Which could have been fixed early on by responding to requests for elaboration

We finally got it--after more than 6 hours (in Post #48).

[butterfly77]

64. I agree with you..

I have been expressing these same feelings to friends as soon as she appeared on msnbc. I always asked why did she get a show and who does she know. She has always been annoying to me.

[Fla Dem]

65. As a 5 month member with 24 total posts to your credit, you post a question with

inflammatory implications with no context. What are people to surmise? Alex Wagner is a black woman, who is generally respected on DU, who hosts a show on the only cable news channel that tilts ever so slightly to the left. By you attacking her like that without context, you naturally raise the ire of many here. It was a stupid, inflammatory post, especially with the tensions in Ferguson. and you need to reassess if you don't see that and still call yourself a Progressive.

[City Lights]

19. Why does she annoy you? nt

[pinboy3niner]

20. You want more information?

After that lengthy and detailed exposition in the OP? Sheesh! There's just no pleasing some people!

[City Lights]

21. LOL! I know, right?

[upaloopa]

26. OP poster hasn't said why they are annoyed by her yet

[Shrike47]

28. To answer the poster's question: yes, apparently you are.

[AtomicKitten]

30. You just may be.

She's smart and charming.
I would think that's a plus.

[pinboy3niner]

32. GREAT POST!

You're annoyed by Alex Wagner?

I'll alert the media.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

34. I like her - I think she's personable and intelligent

and very unannoying in her style, unlike some. SE Cupp was ANNOYING and I'm glad they got rid of her. My favs on MSNBC would be Rachel Maddow (except when she's deliberately ducking any discussion of Palestine/Israel where she really disappoints me) and especially my hero, Joy Ann Reid who I think is tops and the best journalist on TV except for Amy Goodman.

[cornball 24]

36. I am in total agreement with you re. S. E. Cupp. We love Joy and were thrilled when she got her own

show. Love Goldie Taylor too. Chris Hayes is my very favorite. I know what you mean about Rachel. I want to thank you for responding to my post in a very kind manner while expressing your own opinion about Alex Wagner. I really appreciate it.

[elias49]

42. It can get a little ruff in here. Don't run away

just think before you press the 'Post my reply".

[cornball 24]

43. Thank you!

[pinboy3niner]

45. It's a bit perverse to create an OP like that

It's just throwing a knock on the board and refusing to share more. Only 14 words. As if to say, "I'm annoyed by this person, but I'm not going to deign to tell you why."

Even after many replies and requests to elaborate, all we've learned is that the OP author's annoyance has nothing to do with anything Wagner has said. So what IS it? Her voice, her hair, her makeup, her wardrobe ("Turquoise? What was she THINKING?!!&quot . We still are not given even a hint.

Does that sound a bit passive-aggressive to anybody? And the poster gets to play the victim card because we're mean to him/her and suspicious about a mildly flamebait post from a new account. AND the poster asks OTHERS to explain what they mean by their replies!

I think I've just entered the Twilight Zone...

[cornball 24]

48. How is a new poster to know that posing a simple question would create such antagonism? I find Alex

Wagner to have a grating voice and a demeanor that often does not reflect the serious nature of the discussion. I have not assailed her intelligence, her physical attractiveness nor her strength and character.

Your reference to the fact that I am new here sounds to me like I have to prove myself to you and your ilk and that I have no business posting an OP. Using a word like "perverse" regarding my OP is a bit over the top in my opinion.

As far as your entering the twilight zone, welcome.

BTW, it was encouraging to me that there were a few people on here that had the class to respond in a dignified manner. You might want to take a look at them.

[pinboy3niner]

58. Thankyou for finally elaborating--after 6 hours and many requests

Was that so hard?

Do you understand why people find it strange that, despite multiple requests for elaboration, you withheld that information for 6 hours?

You don't have to prove anything to me (though I can't speak for "my ilk&quot . Just please treat us with enough courtesy and respect to actually clue us in on what you're talking about and not just toss off a flip 14-word comment as an OP. I think 'perverse' is a perfectly good word for what I've seen here.

If you want us to respond to you with dignity and class you might try treating us that way.

I have nothing against you and hope you'll consider what many of us here are telling you. Just be straightforward and you may do OK.

Welcome to DU, and good luck in your future endeavors.

[cornball 24]

63. You are most welcome. Quite honestly, I thought that I had already posted my reasons for

my finding Alex Wagner annoying. I went back and read my previous posts and saw that I had not. My mistake! As someone who has worked on both Obama election campaigns, is horrified by what is being done to the people of Gaza, and sickened by the killing of Mr. Brown, I consider myself to be a staunch liberal. I accept your advice for future endeavors on DU. I'll interpret your little emoticon as a welcoming sign.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

46. I didn't think I was being kind

I just accepted that you can find a liberal on TV annoying and I don't think you're automatically an evil right winger for that. Honestly, I love Rachel Maddow but I detest her accent. It's like nails on a chalkboard and my devotion to her program for me is a testament to how much I love her despite how much those hard "L" sounds she pronounces deep in her throat drive me up the wall.

I think there might be a little hypersensitivity here lately because of the invasion of trolls. I have seen absolutely disgusting racist cartoons and posts lately by trolls who have been coming out of the woodwork over this terrible Ferguson matter. To me there was nothing whatsoever in your post that registered on my troll meter, but just a fellow liberal who doesn't like the style of a liberal TV journalist I happen to like. Hey, we're individualists with different tastes and we're not in lockstep because we're liberals.

[LanternWaste]

35. Lots of people are frightened by strong, independent, intelligent women. I doubt you're the only one

Lots of people are frightened by strong, independent, intelligent women; hence I rather doubt you're the only one who alleges to "annoyed."

[A-Schwarzenegger]

38. If you think cornball 24 is annoying...

you shoulda seen cornballs 1-23.

[pinboy3niner]

39. DUzy!

[MohRokTah]

44. Best. Response. EVER!!!

[abakan]

67. What you said ^^^^^ nt

[AuntPatsy]

51. Lol

[csziggy]

57. !

[bigwillq]

47. I have no idea who that is

just googled. Yea, never heard of her. I don't watch MSNBC, or any cable news for that matter.

[LloydS of New London]

50. Yes

[CanonRay]

52. Yes n/t

[bravenak]

54. Seems like it.

[Agschmid]

55. No probably not...

But does it really matter?

[YoungDemCA]

66. No, but probably the only one on this forum

lol
