The hypocrisy of Cenk Uygur on super delegates

http://www.dailykos.com/stories/2016/6/5/1534835/-The-hypocrisy-of-Cenk-Uygur-on-super-delegates

By InfiniteThoughts


Hypocrisy, thy name is Uygur ... What is valid in 2008 isn't valid in 2016 because ... because ... Hillary Clinton is EVIL ...

This is Cenk Uygur & TYT announcing Barack Obama clinching nomination in 2008 .... on June 3rd.


Just as a reminder, on June 3rd, the primaries ended & then Sen Obama crossed the 50% mark of pledged delegates. Together with SUPER DELEGATES, the networks decided that he has enough to win the super delegates.

Cut to 2016 & this is Cenk Uygur and he accuses CNN and claims that calling Hillary as PRESUMPTIVE nominee on June 7th because she crossed the same threshold as Obama did in 2008 as the following: THIS IS NOT JOURNALISM! And then he goes on a rant on FBI indictment (sigh!)

Seriously, Cenk - get off your high horse. It already smells of hypocrisy. Logic died in that mess a long time back. At least spare exploiting decency.

Update: JurisDoctor shared this video of Cenk Uygur ripping Mark Penn in Feb 2008 because he wanted super delegates to overthrow the pledged delegates result if Hillary didn’t win.

Pity, he doesn’t remember his own comment

Trump Tweets: I’m Done With Morning Joe, Mika Brzezinski’s ‘Gone Wild With Hate’

Here we go again.

It was only a month ago when Donald Trump decided to pick a fight with Morning Joe despite the show being one of the most fair, if not one of the most acquiescent to him. Now today, just a few minutes after the show ended, he decided to blast them again the way he does best.

I don't watch or do @Morning_Joe anymore. Small audience, low ratings! I hear Mika has gone wild with hate. Joe is Joe. They lost their way!

While it’s not entirely certain that this is what set Trump off, there’s a good chance that his Twitter slam has to do with Mika Brzezinski‘s compliments this morning to the speech Hillary Clinton gave against him. This possibility is further evidenced by the fact that he sent this tweet shortly after his hit on the show.

In Crooked Hillary's teleprompter speech yesterday, she made up things that I said or believe but have no basis in fact. Not honest!

...

She literally painted him into a corner, where he can't help himself except to prove her point.

Wonkette-Hillary To America: I Am A Grown-Ass Adult, And Donald Trump Is A Idiot

50 ways to call Donald Trump a pussy
http://wonkette.com/602532/hillary-foreign-policy-speech-donald-trump-idiot

By Evan Hurst



Oh boy, oh boy, did you see Hillary Clinton’s “foreign policy” speech about how Donald Trump is an excitable, know-nothing man-child, whereas she is a mature adult human being? It was great! Hillary was in San Diego preparing for the California Primary, and decided to spend a few minutes saying a few words about the man the Republicans have chosen to be their standard-bearer in November.

We’ll tell you all our favorite parts, but first, let’s check in with Trump to see what he thought of the speech:



FUCK OFF, short-fingered apple-headed vagina monkey idiot boy, nobody asked you.

Anyway, Hillary spent her speech comparing her vision for an America that’s already strong, that carries out a “smart and principled foreign policy,” and which under her leadership will grow stronger, versus an America that sucks dick, led by a walking, ginger-coiffed meth dildo who is a pussy.

Hillary describes Hillary:

As Secretary of State, Senator and First Lady, I had the honor of representing America abroad and helping shape our foreign policy at home. As a candidate for President, there’s nothing I take more seriously than our national security. I’ve offered clear strategies for how to defeat ISIS, strengthen our alliances, and make sure Iran never gets a nuclear weapon. And I’m going to keep America’s security at the heart of my campaign.

Because as you know so well, Americans aren’t just electing a president in November, we’re choosing our next commander in chief, the person we count on to decide questions of war and peace, life and death.


Hillary describes Donald Trump:

[L]Like many across our country and around the world, I believe the person the Republicans have nominated for President cannot do the job.

Donald Trump’s ideas aren’t just different – they are dangerously incoherent. They’re not even really ideas – just a series of bizarre rants, personal feuds, and outright lies.

He is not just unprepared – he is temperamentally unfit to hold an office that requires knowledge, stability, and immense responsibility.

This is not someone who should ever have the nuclear codes – because it’s not hard to imagine Donald Trump leading us into a war just because somebody got under his very thin skin.


And that was just the first official time Hillary called Trump a total pussy during her speech. She is going to have so much fun running against him!
