It makes Mitt's slogan writer look pretty stupid though. I figured googling a new slogan was like step 1 or 2 when vetting it....

Bry, Romney made a COMMENT, its not his slogan. For the klan, it was a slogan from the 1920s.
How ridiculous is that?

For MSNBC, it was a f'in stretch by any means and one made for the sole intent of disparaging romney. no other reason. they apologized, time to move on. But dont freaking tell me the media is not biased

MSNBC and Chris Matthews apologize to Mitt Romney campaign - YouTube

I see... it was a comment, no a slogan... you don't think Mitt vet's that stuff in house?

I'm mainly playing devils advocate. clearly Romney is not a racist, and not one person here is claiming MSNBC doesnt lean way left w/ the exception of 1 host and a few commentators.

I see Michael Steele on MSNBC almost nightly when I flip through the cable news channels. Maybe he doesn't qualify as a smart conservative, I'll leave that for you guys to judge....

I don't think any attempt at an interview with a US President could be taken as biased one way or the other...only an idiot wouldn't accept that.

What I did see that was fair and balanced was that idiot Monica Crowley getting blasted by all three of her guests :uhuh:

Somebody should stop those Mormons from going door-to-door pushing their cult on people. I'm sick of it.
Two came to my door the other day and I said "Lady, we're Irish Catholics. We have a history of starving to death before converting. Do you think reading that little booklet is going to do it?"

Ya, it's hard to get Libs to come on the programs cause they
know they will get creamed.

The Libs are better at offering the folks local beer and hot dog partys. :hihi:

Why go on tv and meet hostility when you have the NYT and CNN on your side setting the agenda?
All the remaining newspapers in the country have been downsized to the point where they don't have national correspondents. The NYT pretty much has a monopoly on the media.
If you've ever read it (which most people won't on principle) you'll note that national television networks pick up their stories, send out a video crew and a reporter and do a tv news version of the same story one-two days later.

For the record, the Original post called it a slogan.
I followed using that term....

That wasn't a comment. Nobody talks like that off the cuff.

All religions are cults;or were at one time. Unless you have a sign on your front door indicating your denomination how would they know.Similar to the Jehovah's Witnesses (cult/religion) they are compelled to go door to door to spread the word.This is how they serve their God.Respecting others will make you feel good,there is no right or wrong in religion.

What about bigamy?
If they can take you away in bracelets, there's a good chance it's probably wrong.
I think they should bring back the Shakers. They were celibate, so once one went, there was one less, and they made great chairs.
"Hearts to God, Hands to Work," and they didn't ring your doorbell twice a month.
