Joe Scar and bobble head Mika were on a media bias rant today....it was embarrassing.

[CTyankee]

They had to go on later and say they weren't whining.

He actually wants to hire moderators who have voted in a Republican primary and/or voted for a republican in the election to conduct future Republican debates. And he yelled at the panel members in the first segment for even raising the slightest difference of opinion. Even Richard Haass, no liberal, told him he didn't want to hear what he had to say but Joe pushed him and he didn't think Joe's idea was a very good one.

Gee, Joe, would you like to be tucked in with cookies and milk at bedtime, too?

1. Those evil liberal moderators!

They're the ones making Republicans look bad, not the candidates themselves!

All part of the larger RW worldview, I'm afraid. For folks on the right, the problem is never what their people do or say, but that other people dare to bring it up in public and show the rest of the country (or world) what they're doing or saying.

For them, the problem was not us beating, torturing, murdering in Abu Ghraib, it was that someone 'went public' about it. It wasn't that US soldiers were taking pictures of themselves urinating on the corpses of their enemies, but that someone let a photo get out of it. It wasn't that Mitt Romney held contempt for half the country, but that someone secretly taped him saying so, and released it. It wasn't that the NSA was spying on every American, but that Snowden brought it to light.

For them, the 'problem' are whistleblowers, leakers, those who expose crimes and evil acts. Not the crimes and evil acts.

2. Like it's the media's fault their candidates are so freakin stupid....

Donald Trump? Marco Rubio? Ted Cruz? Bwahahahaha! What a dog and pony show! They're cryin their eyes out cuz the questions are too tough. HEy, lets attack the moderators..yeah, that's it!

Don't wanna answer hard questions? Why are you in a debate? They want it to be an RNC info-mercial. Just tell everybody all the good things we've done. Ooops! Strike that. Tell them what we'll do if you vote for us.

Same old shit, different debate. Whats going to happen when they have to debate a democrat? Cry some more, of course.

I'm taking my toys and going home cuz the moderators are asking stuff we know nothing about.....politics! Joe Scab, "why are all the moderators democrats?" Uh, maybe they wanted to inject some intelligence in the program to mask the stupidity of the candidates! Ha ha ha ha!

[CTyankee]

5. I don't mind Scar having his own opinion on an issue, so what?

BUT, when you demand that the politics of a debate moderator in a Republican debate BE a Republican voter him/herself, then you want to fix the game.

Sorry, here I have to agree with Richard Haas. You deal with the questions as they come to you. You'd better be well informed ahead of time to answer the questions. Nobody is going to treat you with kid gloves...

3. In other words, he wants to stay in his bubble-and have candidates stay

in their Republican bubble.

[CTyankee]

6. what nerve! He doesn't know how ridiculous he is sounding...

No wonder he had to backtrack a bit a few minutes later after the break. Mika should have been embarrassed by sitting up there with him and nodding and smiling sickly...she looked ridiculous and I hope her father told her so...

4. I loved that, "I am not whining"

but I am

[kentuck]

7. Joe believes...

...that if it is about party propaganda, instead of facts, then his Party can win.

[CTyankee]

8. the guy is so obvious...

Nobody on the panel could believe what he was saying.

See, this is the problem with the GOP. They think getting their guys (few as they are) to run the debate, they won't ask any "problem" questions. And then nobody will watch except a few diehards. The public will be turned off, thus cementing the idea that the GOP is totally out of touch with the American electorate...

go ahead, Joe. Make my day...

[kentuck]

11. And Joe wanted to know why Republicans were not in charge of newsrooms?

He doesn't seem to understand that our propaganda system cannot work that way. It would be like putting the fox in charge of the hen house, but dressed up like a Republican FOX.... They have to give the people the illusion that they are guarding their interests, when in fact, no one is guarding the hen house.

9. Vetting process for who you vote for as criteria for employment?

Makes sense in a fascist kind of way.

[Sunlei]

10. Republicans-afraid of questions. Don't ANY have the spine to ignore the whiners & attend the debate?

[Gidney N Cloyd]

13. Joe isn't considering how splintered and internally contentious the GOP is today.

When he says he wants 'republicans' running the debate, does he think that t-baggers won't cry foul if the moderators are of the country club repub faction?
