MSNBC Host Attributes Heated Rally Rhetoric to BOTH Sides

[faridjabba]

wat her name pls?

[dougmanjones]

This is what happens when you invest your campaign in people who are racist and/or stupid.

[francopvr]

Come again please.

[richardhutnik]

Anyone have any clips where Obama's crowd shouts out negative things about McCain? Being excited for your candidate is different than hating the other candidate. I do remember McCain campaign does a "Messiah" tweak of Obama's campaign because they are excited for Obama.

[buzzkill27]

Oh please asshole...are you fucking kidding me??? what negative comments were said about McCain.."out of touch"..yeah he doesn't know how many houses he has "retire"...he should . THAT'S THE SAME THING AS OBAMA BEING CALLED "TERRORIST" AND GETTING VERBAL DEATH THREATS "KILL HIM"???? go fuck yourself,idiot

[richardhutnik]

Who you talking about? I was asking if anyone had any evidence the Obama crowds said anything negative about McCain. I have seen enthusiasm, not hatred. They may boo McCain, but anything the same? If you were writing to me, you may want to read what write before having the same knee-jerk hatred that individuals in McCain crowds have.

[GstateBALLER925]

i think she was just trying to be fair when she said its on both sides... personally, i havent heard any hateful comments during obama rallies/speeches so i dont know. mccain claims there to be, but we all know its untrue.

[Sweetp000433]

I think she was proving a point while trying not to seem to liberal, but it came off liberal anyway, that was good they're taking lesson from faux news.

[Qtchic1118]

both sides? i mean, really? "kill him" vs. "preach"..... this woman's on crack.

[chaseef]

Cenk from the Young Turks pointed a different situation like this out the other day, he said:

If you keep accusing MSNBC of being the "liberal media" over and over and over again: what are they going to do?

Try and prove they are not so liberal.

[snoopjackdabear]

Is she employed by Fox News or MSNBC?

[Jessen81]

I'm sorry you made a mistake it's fix news not fox news.

[raihasan2]

FAIL

[patty7beth]

Okey Dokey, let's see ..."Amen," "You Got It" "You're Right" from Obama supporters ...

"Terrorist", "Treason," and "kill him" from McCain's mob. My god, she's right - BOTH sides ARE doing it!

Is this silly woman smoking crack, deaf or what? This is the corporate media - liberal, my ass! This is "balance." Trouble is, you can't balance the truth vs. lies. These idiots would've gone out of their way to be "balanced" when reporting on Hitler's run to power in Germany. Wrong is wrong moron!!

[samsdayout]

his voting record show how far left obama was/is...stock market crashed because of the news that the communist obama might become prez...save the capital market,save your money...vote for mcain/palin...pass this message to as many ppl as possible

[GstateBALLER925]

i wouldn't count on anyone passing this message to anyone... time is up for the mcsame/pain ticket

[BKHENRY1]

It is treason . Look up the Logan act.

[satyricon451]

Logan Act is perfectly vague, "Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States..."; assuming you mean 18 U.S.C. § 953. Who grants the authority? The president? The Sec. of State? Is there inherent authority in the Senate since Article II establishes Senate participation in foreign affairs (advice and consent of)? Not so clear is it?

[raevae15]

Both sides!!!Are you kidding McCain is inciting hate and spreading it in the crowd like a bad cold, encouragement is what you want from the crowd, not trying to get the Klan to go out and do harm to the other person. McShame is pathetic. America let do the right thing in Nov. and vote for THAT ONE 08.

[McCainHasAlzheimers]

MSNBC hired that woman because of what she put into her mouth. They didn't hire her for what might come out of it.

[nuremaste]

what can be done in the middle of the rally when someone says something like that? Um, a LEADER would do what's right. A leader wouldn't accept it just because it's politically expedient. Ah, John McCain, I used to have so much respect for you.

[ERAUPRCWA]

McCain looked a little disturbed by that "Kill him" comment but didn't say anything but smiled. How can people think that's okay? even if you support McCain to wish death like that upon a person and American is wrong and McCain just stands back and smiles and adds fuel to the fire. He makes me sick and if something happens to Obama then it can indirectly be tracked back to McCain for causing this anger and misinformation with dumb Americans.

[MMS747]

And looking back to past campaigns, who can ever forget the disturbing, blood-curdling "Give 'em Hell, Harry"?

[ravingdead]

She contradicted herself. What a dumbass

Obama rally-positive, uplifting. She likened it to a church

McCain rally-hateful, mob mentality

These people favor neutrality over truth

[Mars1951]

I am sick and tired of the media cowering under the Republican assault. These things simply don't happen at the Obama rallies and he would put an immediate stop to them as he has done in the past for things much much less incendiary than anything shown here. It is hate mongering of the worst sort and it makes anyone who condones it, especially one who abuses power, completely unsuitable for public office.

[Orlor]

Yes, because as anyone knows, "You got it" is exactly like "Kill him".

[turbotorque]

Fundamentals of Obama are strong

[chronicphonix]

mccain did this! kill him??? wtf obama is an AMERICAN mccain needed to say hey that is wrong but he sold his soul to the bush addministration and all the racist republicans can't stand the thought of losing..............so now what mccain? OBAMA/BIDEN 08 HE IS THE ONE

[auramac]

Racist morons from all directions.

[publicgood]

"Kill him" = "Amen"

[chronicphonix]

fuck you

[grudgekeeper]

I dont get the title of this vid.. All the crazy shit is on tape from the McCain Palin rallies, and she said the Obama rallies are yelling things like "Right On"?

[AsianAmericanAlien]

WOW , am I watching 24?

[Lranee]

there should be no comparison to the positive encouragement from Obama supporters to the hateful and bigotry displayed at the McCain rallies McCain should denounce the bad behavior of his supporters and tell them to calm down

[efeez1986]

Give me a fucking break, this stupid bitch is comparing "kill him" to "you got it" and "amen"? Fuck the media.

[francopvr]

You all may make fun of her but she is on the ticket and you will never ever be, your too dumb to see how talented she is and she will make a great President in 8 years time. If you vote for Obama you are anti American and hate Jesus.

[supaflyesnuka]

Let's see...So you're saying that if we don't vote for Palin and McCain we are against the USA and Jesus? You do realize that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11, right? McCain authorized us to kill thousands of innocent muslims who WERE NOT TERRORISTS YOU FUCK! Our soldiers died for a political agenda. Jesus said "DO NOT KILL". He didn't say "Do not kill unless you do it under my name". Your comments are unpatriotic and disrespectful to all soldiers who died in Iraq.

[ERAUPRCWA]

how exactly is he anti American when he talks about positive things for Americans. It's funny the economy is a mess and I still to have yet heard McCain mention what he wants to do. Why would Palin be a good President, given her recent abuse of power ruling? how does he "hate Jesus" you're to dumb to realize all the crap that she's said and has done during her time. She was a ploy to gain women voters, that was it. Please tell me what McCain's plans on the economy, healtcare, & education are?

[ScienceRu1es]

What an idiot. This just shows that the Right's constant calls of media bias are working. If they were truly reporting the news they wouldn't be saying it is coming from both sides. Encouraging a candidate and saying "you got it" is MUCH different from "kill him."

[bernlin2000]

I havent heard any rallies on Obama's side that call for McCain's death...these ppl are pretty much backwash

[jshooper]

so this is what we have returned to....mccain rallies are hate-filled racist klan wannabe gatherings....and obama rallies are old southern black church events ?......i think only one of these is clearly true.......sorry mccain...i wasn't talking about "that one"

[Cockysonbitch]

this reminds me of Lord of the Flies

[Novinte]

What a dumb bitch, that's what you get for a cock sucking made jornalist.

[nzingamina]

Who the fuck compares "Amen" to "kill him"? Journalism is joke in the US.

[Nietzschechoi]

They didn't show it on TV but "kill him" is another sound bite yelled out in the rally when Sara Palin was standing on the podium addressing Obama's association with Ayers. "Terrorists, kill him, treason" are the words of hatred and anger invoked in the republican rallies. I'm appalled.

[VoicesintheHead]

I was thinking the same thing.

[theRaven13]

its not kill him...its terrorist. despicable.

[mgoldberg333]

...but pretty funny.

[yowatasaki]

McCain is such racist. He is one of those typical, conservative, racist American. The video just proves it. He did not address the crowd when someone shouted "kill him". It does not matter how much he hates Obama. McCain should know that racism is a root of problem in US and would he openly ignore such racist comment. How can someone like McCain lead us? We Americans need someone genuine in the interest of the

[oakeysmokey]

I love how McCain is asking useless questions while the screen shows the DOW falling 400+ points that day.

The Republicans are desperate, hypocritical and pathetic. Who the f&&k does Sarah Palin think she is? Her husband was in the AIP, hardly a patriotic group if there ever was one.

Geez.

[snicholson1962]

Both sides???? Give me a fucking break!

[savanny1976]

Desperate republicans. Here's my question:If Obama has anything to do with this local terrorist idea , how the fuck he became a senator? he has been a senator for 2 fucking years, before

you become a senator a back ground check will

done, if the government had the smallest doubt

he share the believe of any radical thinking

he would never get the job!!! so cut the

bull shit and work on fixing our broken Economy. I had a respect for McCain, after

this cheap move I lost my respect!!!

[Unknown0rigin]

whenever the repugs are caught being blatantly mean-spirited and nasty the media falls back to the "both sides do it" line. I like how the only black guy at the WI rally got to have the mic to plead with mccain to stop Obama. But then again the GOP thinks people will not notice how half of their pundits this year are also black. Must be just a coincidence.

[hunterswine]

Wow I really can't believe they are saying that " you got it" and "Amen" can be compared to " kill him" or "treason" What a joke!

[johnnydiva]

on both sides?

i have yet to hear Obama's people so wound up that they say the same harsh things in the crowd against McCain.

[youngrizzle2003]

Dear Senator McCain,

Could you please stop trying to get people's minds off of the economy?

Sincerely,smart Americans

[missjulielogan]

Farrakhan Calls Obama "The Messiah"

Video Proof

[trillone87]

to be honest with u,id rather have another 4 years of Bush then these two idiots

[kray97]

Again, to be more succinct...when did "You got it", You're right" and "Amen" become somehow equivalent to "Treason", "Terrorist", "Sit down, boy", "Hooligan", and "Kill him"?

Critical thinking....try it sometimes.

[kplovecats]

Very good point!!!! Can any of you Hateful blood thirsty Conservatives answer that?

[futurekulture]

Maybe I should "second" your point here! hehe

:)

[andytoz]

Was thinking exactly the same thing.

[futurekulture]

I second your point! :)

[kray97]

Who is this idiot host? Who's shouting "kill him" at an Obama rally in reference to McCain?

None of us hate McCain or Palin...it's more a sense of pity and at times awe, really. But it isn't hate. We just disagree. McCain has no position these days, and Palin is just not ready.

Neither democratic candidate is attacking the character of either Republican candidate? If there is any attack it is issue based...that is what politics should be about.

[Morvarid06]

McBush and Shebush are preaching anger!! and not even stopping it because they want this to be on air. What a racist fascist country we've become to allow so much ignorance. If he wins this kind of hate will get louder, and more blood will be shed. Your a sick piece of shit McCain because your drawing on hate, and war instead of brining this country. CHANGE YOUR SLOGAN TO "McCAIN FIRST-U.S SECOND"

[oolong2]

Encouragement from the crowd is *A LOT* different than hate speach and death threats...

[randomactsofwhatnot]

Contessa Brewer is usually on point most of the times, but to suggest McCain rallies and Obama rallies are the same is absurd. The nuts in the McCain rally are yelling terrorist and kill him. How is that comparable to amen and you got it. Please.

[SquallCloud]

And we're supposed to be surprised that the McCain/Palin ... actually let's call it what it is the Palin/McCain rallies sound like fucking Klan rallies? I'm not surprised in the least.

[DrunKao]

"the fact of the matter on both sides"

How can she fucking sleep at night. What is she mentally brain dead. I just can't believe I just heard that. Yeah let's compare threatening to KILL a presidential candidate to "amen". That makes SOOOOOO much fucking sense.

[Richardgwm]

Stock market total returns (S&P500) during Presidential terms: Hoover (4 years) negative 68% Bush the Lesser (7.8 years) negative 24% Nixon (5.6 years) negative 10% Kennedy (2.8 years) 33% Ford (2.4 years) 51% Carter. (4 years) 56% Johnson (5.2 years) 65% Bush Sr. (4 years) 73% Truman (7.8 years) 185% Reagan (8 years) 200% Eisenhower (8 years) 216% Clinton (8 years) 259% Roosevelt (12.1 years) 336%

[ohnoesfedzilla]

hahaha its all fun n gaimz hahaha........shut up anchor whore go suck on some.......hecklers,speaking for america since 1776...fuck you fascist traitor assholes.....reps, dems same traitors different colors..basically.....FREEDOM, its whats for dinner!!!!!!!

[dfarmer1584]

"both sides" ?

Hmmmm. So much for journalistic integrity. False "balance" leads the MSM to to become unbalanced.

[purplez69]

The Palins are still Palling around with Separatist in Alaska.So give me a break.Logon to salon dote com and read David Talbot piece on the Palin's association w/Anti-Americans Joe Volger&John McPhee.They were part of the anti-American secessionists party.Todd Palin was an actual member of the AIP separatist group.Why isn't more being told about Sarah and Todd's association to this party? Obama association with Ayers is LAME compare to Todd and Sarah's.McCain doses not care about Veterans!

[neverlookback75]

"Both sides"? I've only seen this coming from one side so far.

[argaen21]

lets compare: "terrorist", "treason", "kill him!" vs. "you got it", "you're right", "amen".

ya you republitards sure are good christians.

[rocklee309]

more power to ya man!

[LaxGoalieTSG]

couldn't agree with you more. the McCain people are trying to make Obama look bad while in fact he is a brilliant man. they make themselves look like sovereign people by making the rednecks and ignorant people think Obama's bad

[Morvarid06]

America idealizes small town hicks, and backwardness and ironically calls itself #1. This country is not ready for a descent educated president, there is still more room for idiots to run this country.

[BigSleepyOx]

The media truly sucks. They think that being "fair" means giving equal weight/blame to both sides rather than simply reporting the truth, even if that truth makes one side look horrible and the other side look angelic.

Equating shouts of "encouragement" at Obama rallies (like "amen" and "you got it") with hate speech at McCain/Palin rallies ( like "terrorist", "kill him", etc) is just plain stupid.

[sol3dg3]

contessa is probably trying to make the story sound fair, reading it off her teleprompter, as msnbc has trying to dial back on the obama love. unfortunately, there is no fair way to say it, mccain is trying to convince his supporters that obama is a terrorist.

[cobwebhead]

So for Contessa, screaming "You're Right, You got it, Amen!" at an Obama rally is the same as yelling "Treason" and "Off with his head" at a McCain/Palin rally.

Why do I feel like I'm living in Germany circa 1935?

[GBTRU]

Her name is Contessa Brewer, you can email her at MSNBC. Tell her that she is full of shit if she is saying that Obama supporters are the same as the McCain supporters, who are racists, xenophobic, ignorant assholes.

[thielenm]

how dare you speak badly of democrats

[GBTRU]

Is this an attempt at sarcasm?

[thielenm]

yes, nice job

[GBTRU]

No, not at all. In fact it makes you look foolish. Because cannot obviouly decern from what she said, and the comparisons she is making.

[thielenm]

i understand, i just like to see how people divide things along party lines like their party is so pure.

[GBTRU]

Okay. The thing though is we are not equating McCain to a Terroist, or promoting his murder, or calling him a Traitor. Not only that McCain and Pallin heard these people and didn't demonish them for saying it. But you can say well they didn't hear them, well I am sure they have seen it numorous times on TV and the internet(well on Pallin), and they have yet to demonish this vitrol. Yeah agreed some nasty things are said on Youtube and other sites, but not like this, this insites hatred.

[hollygolightly66]

This Barbie belongs at Fox. She'll need peroxide first but that's where she belongs.

[rush316420]

Contessa Brewer is an airhead. She can't see what's in front of her face. She's blind as a bat when it comes to tone. She's tone deaf. She's worried about her morning coffee and bagel while children suffer. She's so blind that a bomb could go off in front of her and she wouldn't notice. They have to get rid of her and a couple of other blind conservatives they got working over there.

[AnnaSmee]

Yes, because Way to go! is as bad as Kill him, Terrorist, and Treason.

[fuzzyhook39]

suefourmet:

Her name is Contessa Brewer

[PVTSolis]

The first man yelled out "kiss him" as he is a Log Cabin Republican. The other man yelling out treason is a nut though.

[suefourmet]

Can anyone tell me the name of this MSNBC host that equates "kill him" with "way to go"?

[bboris92]

Wow, the McCain campaign has stooped to a whole new level.

[angelheart715]

wtf, she's comparing people saying "Amen, you got it" at an Obama rally to people at a McCain rally shouting death threats about Obama!?! I expect better from MSNBC. Gah, it drives me insane to see the mainstream media bend over backward trying to be "fair" by saying the tone at rallies from opposite sides is the same. You know what's fair? Telling things the way they actually are!

[gsuitter]

"Your right" and "amen" does not equal "terrorist" and "kill him".

I'll bet my last dollar, for what they're now worth, that those shouting trash at GOP events are Sean Hannity listeners.

[hajqbvii]

...and how does she equate "treason" and "kill him" in republican rallies to "you got it" at Democrat rallies?...send her to Fox, she sounds like them!

[fuzzyhook39]

I've been seeing a lot of this. The MSM wants to appear non-partisan with these weak comparisons. But they look biased everytime they pull something like this. Where is McCain's "prisoners" gaffe on TV? MSNBC and that's it. Remember when Howard Dean's Presidential hopes went down the drain because of a "woo hoo" that was played over 600 times on the MSM? The publice deserves some honest reporting, and not this "we have to keep it even" approach. It's making me sick.

[octarhaberee]

This is just phony objectivity. If they just say both sides do it they don't have to do real journalism and get to the truth. They also have to keep both sides happy in order to get access - just look at what has been happening to the journalists who are asking straightforward questions of McCain/Palin - they are getting kicked off the Bullshit Express.

[carbonunit]

No big deal, there has been hecklers since the beginning of time

[atripa645]

It's the "Both Sides" angle the media has taken to muddy the waters. I hear it a lot from David Gregory. Republicans benefit from this emencely. If you have 20 republicans in corruption scandals and 3 democrats. It's "both sides" see it's just "Washington".

[interista7878]

"they are encouraging hate for our next president! how dare they!!"

McCain = TERRORIST!!!!!

Argh!!!!!!

(Excellent point)

[UGOTDAJACK]

This is the problem with the so called "liberal media". They try to be fair to both sides but it's not fair when you claim that both sides are attributing to heated rhetoric on the campaign trail. Obama/Biden rallies are nothing like McCain/Palin rallies. One side yelling "amen" or "you go Barak" is nothing like the other side yelling "kill him" or "he's a terrorist"! The mainstream media in america need to undergo a total rehaul. Theses so called journalists are terrible at their jobs.

[sazoulai]

I totally agree with you ... the worst offenders are the jackasses at Fox News. All they do is attack Democrats and give softball questions to Republicans. I don't know how they even get away with being called a "News" Organization.

[youfave]

hahaha..got to say thank you to her, she wants to help the repulicans but she only contributes to the landslide victory for president obama in november 2008

[soccertiga]

they are encouraging hate for our next president! how dare they!!

[TeleShaman]

yeah OK... saying "AMEN!" & "YOU GOT IT!" is JUST LIKE saying "TERRORIST!" and "KILL HIM!"

Sorry. Thats like saying this Apple is an Orange. Good try though.

[writechic]

Spot on, teleshaman.  One's like a revival; the other a prelude to a lynching.

[KajiCarson]

Bitch.

[spaterseed]

It's true it's coming from BOTH sides: both Mccain's side and Palin's side.

[jay2thaudy]

Sooo...yelling "Kill him" is comparable to "Amen". What planet is that broad from?

[mmante]

Obama's gloves are out and McCain teeth are out.. ha ha ha ha

[BlkUnk]

more than anything i think there using Obamas crowd shouts to show tha white/black divide... the only churchs i know where people have a good time and comment is not white churches....

[SalvadorDali]

Nobody has fun in white churches. It's a fact of life.

[dv122]

i went from my room directly to the bathroom, i brushed my teeth then went to the bathroom.i washed my hands without soap i just ran them under the water for 3 seconds. 10 minutes passed as i was on the computer and i noticed a grape'ish type smell on my hands. i checked all my shampoos and conditioners, my bar soap and toothpaste and i still cant pin point where this scent came from. it came from somewhere.

[newbreed1]

This lady is an idiot.

[jlgrounds]

Any videos of folks at Obama or Biden or Clinton or Michelle event yelling ephithats or kill him or traitor? Can we links to these amazing and shocking videos of the out of control Democrat base yelling obseneties to sound men....I would really be interested. Is she actually comparing 'amen' to what has been said in Palin/McCain rallies or is there something else????

[ihfek]

The problem with the media is that they have to report in a "balanced" way. When they say something about one side, they feel they need to say something parallel about the other. But there is no parallel in this instance. Obama is a better candidate than McCain, and also happens to be running a far better campaign. This is why the far right is always accusing the media of being "biased"--they don't like the free circulation of information because it doesn't benefit them.

[jawshchevyvan]

Okay... first of all doesn't it seem weird to say that amen and kill him are equivalent. And it seems like some Ango-racism on the part of MSNBC here... with the saying that Amen like a black babtist church, is that what they are trying to say? Like OHHH LAWDY! Because thats just not the case. This is a better example of racism than the "that one" thing which is totally disrespectful, anyway. I don't want someone who calls Vietnamese people gooks in the White House. I may vote cause of this

[Waranle]

What the fuck is this bitch talking about. What "both sides" this is what gets me really angry. They see what mccain and his compaign doing and they can´t tell the truth even on MSNBC fucking shit

[jawshchevyvan]

totally.

[edAVP1138]

"Both sides" What the hell is she talking about!!!!

[xTheOxx]

Those maniacs of the left and their crazy encouragements! Moonbats!

[valgehiir]

this reminds her of 'some of those old fashioned churches'? WTF!

[Vatanaven]

"kill him"? dang... sad country.

[fandola1]

"KILL HIM" and "AHMEN"

VASTLY DIFFERENT.. VASTLY

[Jzer08]

Ha ha 'both sides' my shiny Dutch ass ;)

[terrence0258]

She is a jackass. This is the thing McCain and Palin don't realize. I live in Georgia. There is a deep seeded hatred for Barack down here by lots of white people, and some black people who don't feel that he is speaking for them. Everytime they go out and spew their trash speeches they are playing into that hate and if they keep this stuff up the pot is going to boil over. Some idiot is gonna listen to this stuff and try something.

[deantrippe]

wonder what she meant by "old fashioned churches." huh.

[margretmary]

What's up with her big fat head?

[DeletedDelusion]

BOTH sides, McCain AND Palin supporters... LOL

Seriously, for my taste, there is way to much emotion in this election.

[loki3692]

Oh yeah I see were yelling "you got" and "way to go" is the same as yelling "Terrorist" and "Kill him", what an empty head this chick is.

[DeletedDelusion]

And this is MSNBC.

I like balanced news, but they are trying to hard here. At the moment one side clearly runs a more agressive campaign, they even admit it themselfs.

[margretmary]

I don't want a turtle for president. Maybe Kermit would be okay....

[azelaer]

idiot MSNBC host

[Plutonwolf]

This is an apples and oranges comparison. No one is calling Johnny a traitor (he did, he even admitted it) or calls of treason about the repub ticket (sara's neck deep involvement in AIP goes to that) Typical Rovian swift vote tactics. Pigs do love to wallow in filth, don't they?

[michaelbook18]

wtf? what an idiot!

[2pac4realu]

Yeah but Obama's side is very contained compared to the lynch mob at Mccain's rallies.

[michaelbook18]

the lynch mob that nearly attacked a black cameraman.

[acidradical]

ya, "You're right","You've got it" is never equal to "Kill Him" and "Treason" .. Da fuck ??

[mahyarmohaghegh]

both sides?

it seems very one sided to me

[Jubilee116]

thank you thats what I just said Both sides "the left side"

[wntoply6]

now why to you "christian"republicans have to lie all the time? i mean doesn't your preacher tell you lying is a sin? or are you from the ignorant, bigoted south where they say it's ok to lie about the "godless" liberal democrats?

man, you so called "christians" take the cake. you remind me of those who followed hitler prior to WW2. what the hell is the matter with you people? when are you going to practice what you bastard liars preach?

[newntsystem33dll2]

I agree with you Mahy. Their is a big difference between "Kill Him" and "AMEN".
