‘I’m Either Right or I’m Wrong!:’ MSNBC Anchor Raises His Voice With GOP Guest Over Romney Bundlers

A discussion between MSNBC anchor Thomas Roberts and Republican National Committee Deputy Communications Director Tim Miller about whether Mitt Romney will release the name of his bundlers quickly evolved into confusing let’s-talk-over-each-other match with raised voices.
“Is the RNC saying that Mitt Romney is going to be releasing his bundler information now because they’re able to use President Obama’s bundler information against him?” asked Roberts.
But instead of answering Roberts’ question directly, Miller corrected the anchor’s understanding of the relationship between the Obama administration and Fisker Automotive.

Roberts persisted, Miller resisted, and the MSNBC anchor eventually accused the Romney campaign of “hypocrisy.”
“All of Mitt Romney’s donors are public just like all of President Obama’s donors are public,” said Miller. “So, you’re not comparing apples to apples here, Thomas.”
It was at that moment the conversation devolved into a shouting match.
Roberts asked two more times about Romney’s bundlers and Miller answered that they, like the president’s, were already public knowledge.

Posted on July 19, 2012 at 11:20pmIn god Republican fashion – avoiding the question.
“Is Mitt Romney going to release his Bundler’s yes or no?”, “All of his donors are public”. That’s weird, those words didn’t sound like yes or no…
QUOTE :: “he Romney campaign has not disclosed the 26 current and former Bain employees as ‘bundlers,’”
http://www.usatoday.com/news/politics/story/2012-07-19/bain-romney-contributions/56346656/1
So either this Republican guest doesn’t know what Bundler is, or he does and he’s a liar.
Seeing as how he‘s republican I’m going to with combination of the two – Idiot Liar.

Posted on July 19, 2012 at 4:32pmNot sure why people don’t completely block MSNBC and all their affiliates off their cable viewing. I can block various channels and this one is on my list to go if I can possibly do it…not that I watch it anymore to care that much. I wouldn’t waste 2 minutes of my time for their lies, rhetoric, slander, vitriol or anything else they tend to spew through their arses. Nasty people and they keep hiring the bottom of the gutter to fill their shows as well as keeping ones that make them look like idiots. lol It says a lot about who would watch that garbage…. Like anything trashy, they lace their awfulness with a few good shows to loop in the unsuspecting into thinking they are even valid as any sort of a news sorce. Bleh.

Posted on July 19, 2012 at 4:24pmThat is exactly why I no longer get any news from T.V. This isn’t real. It’s fodder to captivate the audience & amuse the guys talking. No one cares about bundlers except the people is Washington. Cause you see all the backlash because of the Obama bundlers & how it hurt his campaign. “If we could get that Romney bundler information we’d win this election.” Have your ever heard a strategist say that? Distractions & distortions will be the only way this man will still be our president after November.

Posted on July 19, 2012 at 4:07pmAll Thomas Roberts has shown in this clip, is that he is a “bungler”, and a hack, and unprepared, and in the tank, and a poor journalist, and, and, and probably being watched by fewer than ten people. And even those ten probably just landed on his show while surfing. And most likely didn’t stay long enough to digest any of that crap!!! Who the hell is Thomas Roberts?

Posted on July 19, 2012 at 3:59pmWhy is anyone connected with the Republican Party appearing on MSNBC? We know the network is working hand in hand with the Obama Administration and the Democrat Party, so every appearance will be an ugly attack. Their message is not going to get out. I’m hoping Romney and the RNC figure this out quickly and spend their time where it counts – on FOX News. There’s no reason on earth to appear on MSNBC, NBC, CBS, ABC or even CNN for that matter.

Romney’s bundlers may be public knowledge, but Obama has so many people who received the stimulus money and are bundling it back to the campaign, it’s impossible to count them all.

Posted on July 19, 2012 at 3:57pmThis shows why MSNBC has such low ratings on Cable TV. They just don’t seem to get, “what part of NO don’t you understand” cliche’. They repeat themselves so often that it offends the listener/viewer that they move on to other sources of information/news.

Assuming, of course, that an election will be held that year. (Might still be Obama, despite the 22nd Amendment.)

Posted on July 19, 2012 at 3:55pm“This past week, one of [Obama's] campaign websites posted an item entitled “Behind the curtain: A brief history of Romney’s donors.” In the post, the Obama campaign named and shamed eight private citizens who had donated to his opponent. Describing the givers as all having “less-than-reputable records,“ the post went on to make the extraordinary accusations that ”quite a few“ have also been ”on the wrong side of the law“ and profiting at ”the expense of so many Americans.” – April 27, 2012

Posted on July 19, 2012 at 3:52pmHey MILLER!
Why don‘t you ask Roberts if he’s been as vociferous in wanting to know the details of Obammy’s background prior to his election?!?
Why hasn‘t Roberts gone after Obammy’s administration for wasting TRILLIONS?!?
No. He wants the names of Romneys bundlers so they can give them to the pigs at OWS.
KISS MY AMERICAN @$$, Roberts!
