Check Out This Man’s Surprise Message for MSNBC Host Mika Brzezinski

Oct. 23, 2012 2:30pm Becket Adams

During a Tuesday broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” co-host Willie Geist interviewed a man wearing a “Mika Made Me Republican” T-shirt.

The man explained that he considers himself an independent, once voting for third-party candidate Ross Perot, but that MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski had pushed him into the Romney camp.

“We found a gentleman sidled up to the bar here, he’s had a couple Bloody Mary’s and he’s got a very important T-shirt. Tell me about it,” said Geist.

“My daughter Ariela was very kind enough to make this. She had built with her sisters a couple hundred Romney signs and we heard Rudy Giuliani speak a couple days ago at the Romney Boca office. And we obviously have a different view than most people here, including Mika,” the audience member explained.

“And I do watch this show every day because I like to hear what the other side has to say, and I don’t need to hear what my opinion is. So I like to hear a diverse opinion and educate my daughters on what that opinion is,” he added.

“And Mika drove you into the arms of the Republican party,” Geist pressed.

“Something like that. I voted for Perot so I’ve been independent, but what can I say?”

Final Thought: Given DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Shultz’ supposed title as “least-effective campaign surrogate,” deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter‘s uncanny ability to make Team Obama look small, and the fact that Mika Brzezinski is apparently driving people into the arms of the Republican Party, perhaps the Romney campaign should consider adding these women to its payroll.

Well, her name certainly implies she’s the daughter of a former communist turned demokpat or is that demokpat turned communist – oh hell, what’s the difference anyway – she’s right at home on MSNBC

  Of course conservatism is growning. Consider where the birth rates are highest. The Liberals abort their babies . . .
  
  Maybe not completely fair but the next generation comes from babies and Republicans/Conservatives are more a family friendly group.

  To yalk about something else. About 10 or 12 years ago Joe Scarborough was a pretty normal human. After He was at MSLSD for about 3,4 or 5 years He really lost His mind. Sometimes He can be normal, but with Lawanca O’donelle, Rev Al (NOT SO) Sharpton and these other fools running around Joe lost His mind. I would even say He lost His soul there. I voted for Him as a Congressman before.
  JOE REALLY WAS NORMAL JUST A FEW YEARS AGO! PRETTY SAD WHAT THE LEFT CAN DO.
  I guess He was weak? They could never change My mind. Not even a Billion Dollars would work.

I agree with the man. What can you really learn from listening to fifty people agreeing with you? Nada! I spend alot of time with Democratic Underground, MSNBC and Huffington. There is only one sure thing about not knowing your enemy – you will lose! If I needed constant reassurance from the right, I’d worry about my convictions.

How does Mika deserve $2 million a year? For what? One of the least watch cable news programs has money to pay a bimbo that kind of money? I’ve seen the show numerous times. I don’t understand her value as a political commenter. I’d hate to say she gets on her knees, but what other rational explanation can someone come up with?

  I learned all that I needed to know about communism from the professor of my Political Thought II class in College. I took the class because I had enjoyed his class “Communism, Fascism and Democracy” the previous semester. After listening to numerous other leftist professors spew nonsense for over a year, this professor put it all very succinctly when he said “I used to be a communist, until I realized it just doesn’t work.”
  
  I have had arguments about numerous topics on political science with people in the last few years, including a PHD candidate, and I have to tell you that my high school science teacher may have been correct when he described a PHD as “Piled Higher and Deeper” I don’t think I need to elaborate on his description of BS or MS degrees.

  @Lt_Scrounge, “I used to be a communist, until I realized it just doesn’t work.” That’s about right. We were indoctrinated in that BS as children even in the 70′s when I grew up. There wasn’t a kid my age that didn’t go see “Annie” and it’s complete collectivist BS. Our kids need to be taught that the government can’t fix squat.

This is off topic, and yet it’s right on topic, in that the issue strongly facing America is entitlements. I’m constantly reminded of the implicitly learned philosophies of successful families versus unsuccessful families, and yet how it is [most] (because most people aren’t successful) people point the finger at successful people saying “Oh you must have stepped on someone to get that life.” Especially in this modern age it seems people tend to however maybe not consciously to pull each other back down in the mud. Lets look first at the successful family: family member A buys an antique possibly worth a lot of money from an auction somewhere three states away from their home. The company won’t ship it, and a third party shipper costs a thousand over what person A would like to pay for the risk. Now, somewhere local near that antique there is relative C who you haven’t spoken to in 20 years. But, you have a current relationship with relative B, and you know relative B speaks to relative C. So relative C picks up the antique, and it eventually makes it’s way into your possession, and you make lots of money, and eventually it gets reciprocated to relative C. Because relative C was intelligent and not grudge holding realizing that there are tides and currents in life that sometimes causes people to lose contact.
Now, in the family that’s not successful (the loser family) relative B has a grudge, and relative C has a grudge, pulling each back into mud, and pointing the

  I guess my point is that most unsuccessful families are unsuccessful by choice, and then you want to point the wicked finger of blame at successful people. Especially if they didn’t find their fortune through the Progressive Plantation.

The one great achievement of the Obama administration and it’s supporters is that it has served to wake the nation from the slumber it had been lulled into by the Progressives over past decades. If Hillary had won in 2008, we would currently be sleep-walking into the arms of global governance. Obama prematurely ********** all over America, waking us from a dream reminicent of the sleeping pods featured in the film “The Matrix”.

  I’d have to agree; BO has really electrified this election, and reminded us about the constitution and our Founding Fathers. He has served his purpose for this country as will Mitt Romney in his time. I’ve long said we need to have some good people who understand business both in the administrative branch and in the legislative branch also. It is imperative we rebuild our economy and give us the ability to do what we need to do to move ahead again. It’s hard to steer a parked car, and without the fuel provided by a thriving prosperous economy our ability to move and produce approaches zero.
  If Mr. Romney does as he said, maybe we can start letting our OWS kids actually become our brain trust for developing a better future. Maybe we find ways to relax and remove barriers in the forms of laws and regulations so that a new crop of Edisons, Teslas, Pasteurs, Bells, Fords, will be inspired to create for the common good.
  It’s not the government having money, nor having lots of teachers to teach the dead facts and figures we all grew up with in the classroom. It is the inspired teacher who has fun exploring, and leading others along a path. Besides, teaching starts in the home, inspiration begins with a family, and our society creating an environment built on truth and freedom. Good things will follow.
  I expect to see Mr. Romney attending services every Saturday in a Kingdom Hall, and Mr. Ryan attending Mass each Sunday. If they choose to lead by example in every as

  JOEL, you were dong great until you came to Saturdays at Kingdom Hall. Romney is a Mormon. Seventh Day Adventists worship on Saturday and Jehovah’s Witnesses worship at Kingdom Hall. Mormons believe that Salt Lake City is the “New Jerusalem”, that Christ came to South America after His resurrection, that Native Americans were a cursed race who killed off the lost Jewish tribe that emigrated to South America after they were given golden plates with “the Book of Mormon” printed on them and hid them in a field in Pennsylvania. Because he ‘found’ and translated the plates that nobody has ever seen, they consider Joseph Smith to be God’s prophet. Hence the name “LATTER DAY SAINTS”.

  I admit, I don’t know that much about the Mormons other than the ones I’ve met in the past seem to be extremely hard working people who seem to live by a set of values where they treat others with respect and decency. I will stick by wanting both Romney and Ryan to be seen attending services in their respective churches, and living by those faiths values as a start in leading by example.
  It also seems to me Mr. Romney has done pretty well in business, and maybe if he treats this country like a business he wants to succeed he can spark a strong interest in being a responsible entrepreneur again in this country. I remember reading something by one of our Founding Fathers, I think probably Franklin, which said there are only 2 times we should be an employee of another person. Those times were when we were learning a new trade or if we should fall on hard times and need a hand up in life to get going again. Along those lines the purpose of public education was to teach us enough to become good citizens and effectively participate in governing our country. A part of that was to learn how to communicate through reading, writing, and arithmetic.
