To newsreader TOM BROKAW

[Mike Nelson]

... Democrats are family-oriented, faithful and work hard. On "Morning Joe", you stated Hispanic people are natural Republicans because they share those values. You are wrong...

Have you looked at white supremacist Republican and Trump values, lately?

[DURHAM D]

1. He was quoting Ronald Reagan.

otoh - Brokaw's is past his shelf life.

[sharedvalues]

2. Reagan of the racist Neshoba fair speech.?

Brokaw knows full well today's GOP is the party of racism and that the GOP has been chasing racist votes since 1972.

[rurallib]

9. but he does have the patina of trustworthiness

[Bernardo de La Paz]

13. Reagan was just as wrong. . . .nt

[rockfordfile]

14. Reagan was a racist and fascist. America is still going through/living his crap

[deminks]

3. I blame Brokaw for George W Bush.

He will never make up for that in this life or after. He is an authority on nothing. He talks to his rich 'western' rancher friends and think he has felt the pulse of 'mericans'.

80% of us are appalled by the GrOPers. We don't want to join and find common ground with the nazis. My father fought nazis. If it turns out, and I think it may, that the GrOPers took political donations from the Russians, we will never join with the GrOPers. On anything.

Brokaw is begging in his mush-mouthed way for us to follow the GrOPer way. Go home,Tom, and talk to your cows.

4. Well Said

[Trust Buster]

5. Brokaw, like many, does not understand how the far right has leveraged the internet and

Changed everything. He foolishly pines for the Reagan/Tip days.

[Javaman]

6. brokaw is living on the momentum of a once good career...

now he's coasting along and has lost touch with most of reality.

[marcopolo63]

7. He was a mouthpiece...

...for the so-called LIBERAL MEDIA?

[Fla Dem]

8. Brokaw tracked right most of his career.

His "greatest generation" was all about an era when white America ruled. Another MAGA pinning for the "good ole days".

[Duppers]

10. Exactly!

[rufus dog]

11. And they were the epitome of the "I got mine" mindset

Think about it, they benefited full from Social Security and Medicare, they got the GI Bill, they got their VA Loan, then they pulled up the ladder behind them. Flipped to being Repub voters and the generations after them were "too lazy.",

Now this was not the entire group but as a whole the path the Country took. Their parents generation were the opposite. Sacrificed through Great Depression, then were immediately asked to send the kids off to war, then saw tax increases to pay for infrastructure, they never really got "theirs.

[jalan48]

12. Tom knows which side his bread is buttered on.

Decades of working as a mouthpiece for corporate media has shaped his message.

[maxrandb]

15. I saw that and wanted to reach through my fucking TV

THE FUCKING RETRUMPLICAN PARTY NOMINATED DONALD "FUCKING" TRUMP!! I DON'T EVER WANT TO HEAR ABOUT THEIR FUCKING "FAMILY-ORIENTED, FAITHFUL, HARD-WORKING" FUCKING VALUES AGAIN!!!!!

Christ of a fucking Trailer Hitch Tom! A party with "values" doesn't fucking nominate Donnie Short Fingers. Go suck some wrinkled WWII dick you dumb mother fucker!

[Skittles]

16. WTF

repukes are FAMILY-ORIENTED? Only if you stick to the rigid, sanctimonious bullshit rules they have to define FAMILY

and don't EVEN get me started on the FAITHFUL and WORK HARD bullshit

[LeftInTX]

17. A few years Brokaw narrated a documentary on James Baker

It was on PBS. I watched it for a few minutes and quickly shut it off. He was full of praise for James Baker.

[Expecting Rain]

18. Tom Brokaw was more than a "newsreader," he was the managing editor of NBC Nightly News for 22 years

and wrote some fine books including "The Greatest Generation," a generation that included people like my dad who volunteered to fight fascism and survived the war by a miracle rescue at sea when his fighter plane went down in a typhoon. For that generation slandered on on this forum pisses me off.

As to Latinos, many have conservative values and I can tell you from one who resides in Los Angeles that you'd better watch out for the inroads ultra-conservative Protestant/charismatic/Pentecostal/Evangelical movements are having in the Mexican and (more strongly) Central American communities.

The right-wing is making its play through store-front churches that are evolving into mega-churches, and ones with clear political agendas that are not favorable to us.
