Jim,

Without your outrage this would never have happened. I've heard up until this post they (the liberal illuminati) were considering him for knighthood.

Apparently the MSNBC president considered him deserving of accolades. He thanked Bashir for 3 GREAT years at MSNBC. And he said that Bashir is a good man and a RESPECTED colleague, and wished him the Best.

I like reading the comments that often follow these articles. Those that followed this article, most of which I assume are viewers of MSNBC, reflected a similar type of vileness or ad hoc lack of critical thinking as Bashir's self-professed "ill-judged comments." After about 40 of them, It was enough, judging the quality of MSNBC viewers, to wonder if the whole network should resign.

Bashir was angered that Palin compared debt to slavery. Apparently, it's OK for Bashir to use a slavery analogy when denouncing George Bush. It's OK for Bashir to do it, but not Palin, got it...

Detbuch is correct, the statement by MSNBC is exactly what you would expect if Bashir retired at the top of his game. Not one word of apology for the repugnant bile that passes for reasoned commentary at the asylum known as MSNBC.

"wonder if the whole network should resign"

As ugly as that network is, they get no ratings, so they do no real damage. The nightime lineup is one freak show after another.

What I said, and I was correct, was that neither MSNBC, nor NBC, publicly denounced what he said. Yet those networks perpetuate the myth that my side is waging a war on women.

Spin that however you like.

Have you actually watched the video? It wasn't nearly as bad as I was expecting considering your hissy fit.

Over the top, yes, but it's only noteworthy because Palin is female.

It seems most irrelevant things are noteworthy only based on gender( unless your a heterosexual male)
Race ( unless your white) or religion ( unless your Christian)

It's noteworthy because...

(1) Bashir claims that the other side is waging a war on women. Kind of ironic given the way he treated Gov Palin.

(2) Bashir took offense to the fact that Palin compared debt to slavery. Yet Bashir used the slavery analogy to denounce a Bush policy. Kind of ironic when you htink of it.

(3) NBC has made no comment.

It was beneath contempt, but not unexpected from those hatemongers.

They kicked him out the door, don't think he left on his own. That's quite a statement.

Detbuch posted what the bigshots at MSNBC said about him. What a great job he did. Not one syllable about what he said. Zip..

"Wow are you out of touch..."

OK, you deny that liberals claim conservatives are waging a war on women. You deny that, and I am the one who is out of touch. Is that about right?

It's called allowing a somewhat graceful exit after an awkward moment.

Again you abuse the concept of "they". A remark by one person doesn't constitute "liberals". You're mixing up your singular and plural.

Perhaps your grammar is a bad as your math

Also, you ignored my video link.

Maybe, but if so, with accolades and without mentioning the reason being his vile statement. Don't consider that being "Kicked out the door." Just shows NBC's lack of standards and not caring to be a network that is above board.
