Joe Kernen takes on David Brooks of The NY Times

[danielwvu]

joe is the dumbest mutherfucker i have heard speak all year...i feel sorry 4 his kids

[HPhenomenal]

republicans and math don't get along

[dkapone]

Joe's time is up. Kill yourself, blowhard

[leonarddaccardi]

love fox news. love joe kernan. joe and carl are a good match. kernan is my favorite; quiet,wise,smart,warm,subtle,h­umorous. cnbc is lucky to have him. good newsman.

[ghfulton]

Rebublicans suck my balls

[taineasy]

David Brooks is an elitist Monkey and puppet of the wealthy and powerful. In his own little world he believes its OK the rich and powerful control everything and dictate their rules to the masses. Well screw him and the rest of his NY Times political terrorists.He is not to be believed or taken seriously on any issue. When the guantlet falls he will be dealt with as the traitor of the Amercian people that he truly is.

[mattvsp]

joe kernen is a clown... utterly sophomoric response

[BigDanWoT]

I fuckin' love Joe...

[jackthegroove]

lol, Sat-ruh. what a dumb %&$#

[quizerry]

There are some people no matter how much proof of facts you have will refuse to believe something because they just don't want to.

[grabac9]

You cannot be a conservative a work for the NYT...no way...

[HYDRASHOQ]

Republicans aren't far enough to the right. Dems shouldn't even be allowed in the mix, they are so far left.

[Vaekkrinhart]

More proof that the Bible is true in describing the human condition- people CHOOSE to believe a lie.... deny, deny, deny, because they simply don't like the truth.

[bucs2921]

Great job by Kernen here.

The fake conservatives like Brooks trash Rush, Beck etc, yet nobody even KNOWS who David Brooks is.

The NY times is going bankrupt (along with a ton of their fellow liberal papers)....MSNBC/CNN cant draw ratings to save their lives and Air America is a joke.

Its just a fact that there are twice the number of conservatives as liberals in this country.. Even the left-leaning Gallup poll confirms this.

[bucs2921]

SIllyBee, in case YOU missed it, we dont give a flying f*ck what the world thinks.

[sblxi]

I understand Kernan's frustration. It seems like any sort of conservative reaction or response is met with one of the same three responses: they're stupid, they're crazy, or they're lying. It's annoying to just sum up people's feelings that way, and liberals hate similar caricatures that they're all pot-smoking hippies with liberal arts degrees. People use the fact that some people fit that stereotype as proof that everyone does, and that's bullshit.

[SillyBee111]

in Case You Missed It...The wold thinks Bush is a WAR CRIMINAL!!!

[truefictions]

He corrected his Satre joke, with Sart?

Am I missing something or is that guy a donk?

Peace

[marconis]

Brooks was right. Limbaugh told his minions to cross-vote Democratic for Hillary - no evidence it happened to any degree detectable. These radio hotheads hated McCain but he won the GOP primary - oops! They don't even control the GOP? These guys hated Obama but he won. QED

[fountainhead]

It's weird how many people don't even get Brooks' point. It's certainly didn't register with this guy. Brooks isn't saying Beck and limbaugh don't have fans, he's saying Beck and limbaugh have no real impact on elections.

[hydin1]

the communist are out of touch with reality, that is one of the reasons they hold to their Utopian fantasy as a possibly. Socialism never worked and will never work, and as you see but chose to ignore the American people wont allow it. There is a train headed your way.

[hydin1]

THE IDEA that this is manufactured is the only thing that allows the communists to sleep at night. I wont argue the point 2010 will convince you retards of you ignorance.

[fountainhead]

So why did mccain win the republican nomination if

beck and Rush have so much power?

[hydin1]

We will see in 2010 how manufactured these numbers are. To answer your question it was a party nomination, and they got it wrong.

[DronetekPolitics]

The liberals are doing their best to discredit their opposition. Thats all it is. Liberals have been in control for 10 months and they're already fucking up worse than Bush could in 8 years.

[DillonX]

In a Congressional District there are about 700,000 people - so 300 (way less than 1%) showing up at a town hall meeting to scream is not representative.

There are 300,000,000+ people in the USA, so when 1% of those listen to Beck that's not representative of the feelings in the country & many of those who listen do so just to see what s**t the idiot is shoveling today.

[zbjordan23]

Kernen made absolutely no sense and didnt debunk anything brooks said. Which pretty much states that hannity, beck , limbaugh have an overinflated sense of power. They trumpted Fred thompson for months and that didnt work. They bashed mccain and huckabee for months and they won. They bashed obama for months and he won. People listen to them because of shock value but the point is that nobody really actually takes them seriously. Their rise is in direct correlation with the drop in the GOP.

[temporalist]

Non-neoconservatives listen to those hate mongers to see what stupidity they will spill out next for their adoring masses to swallow.

Neo-cons are so naive they are being told they wool is being pulled over their eyes by someone else why their pockets are being picked and their constitution trashed all in the name of false patriotism.

[lenny380]

Maybe you didn't see the crowd in DC last week. - conservatives outnumber you in droves.

[grabac9]

And it's no longer a question of weather republicans will pick up any seats next year. It's just a question of how many and if all the gains will be made by real republicans and not Rhinos...fuck the democrats if they want to be controlled by ultra liberal marxists

[quizerry]

The only thing the N.Y. times reported correctly in the past year is that Taxes will have to go up across the board to pay for all these huge massive spending in the past year. Fox picks up new viewers every week because people fear they are not hearing both sides of the story. It is that simple.

[DillonX]

Fox's Simpson show gets 7 million viewers a week

That doesn't mean they all agree w/ what Homer is saying

They just watch it to see what kind of crazy stuff Homer is saying

Fox's Family Guy gets 7 million viewers a week.

That doesn't mean they agree w/ what The Family guy is saying.

Fox's Glenn Beck gets 3 million viewers per wk, many just tune in to see what kinda crazy stuff he's saying now.

Fox calls 60 Minutes liberal & it gets 20 mil viewers - a figure Beck can only dream about

[mephiticcorpse]

liberals watch fox and listen to rush too.. we all need some comedy in our lives

[dpstevenson]

I've never heard these guys but that is one loud idiot there on the right. Guy on the left seems to have all of his marbles though.

[bxeggy]

i consider myself a liberal, im 24 and ive stopped watching tv pretty much, and i know others that are the same way. older people sit around and watch fox

[bdazzzle]

theres alot of retarded people in america

theres alot of viewers for fox news

i believe both of these statements to be true.

[kandeesnatcha]

couldnt have said it better myself.

[Maj2004]

Just because it's popular, doesn't mean it's right =)

[PatricksTime]

that's what i was saying about obama when he WAS popular...not so popular anymore!

[Swimdawg1]

Brooks is a fool!

[8ooO0Ooo8]

Joe Kernen has always taken on the fictitious world that the NY Times likes to believe we are in.

[AbelNOON]

Imaginary millions? LOL. CNBC is horrible.

[brainiacgames]

Yes, anyone who disagrees with you - particularly when they're successful and proven right - is a right-wing lunatic. Sorry to tell you but this is a right-of-center country. When you awake from your left-wing stupor, your clash with reality will be very painful.

[vancouver57]

These CNBC hacks would JUMP at the chance to work at Fox. At least they'd then know that SOMEONE was watching them!!!
