Newsweek Editor Tina Brown Calls GOP ‘Suicide Bombers’

On the heels of Chris Matthews remarks comparing the GOP to the violent, Islamic Wahhabis comes another MSNBC-delivered, hyperbolical reference to Republicans. This time, “Morning Joe” regular contributor and Editor-in-Chief of the Newsweek Daily Beast Company, Tina Brown, makes the comparison between the GOP and “suicide bombers.”

Subbing for a vacationing Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski set the table for the conversation by turning an off-air conversation about the President being held hostage by the debt crisis into an on-air discussion:

    Yeah, I really am hopeful that all these lying strategies of the left will not have the desired effect as in the past and they just haven’t realized it or if they have, they don’t have any other and so they continue, hoping it works like it has. But not only have we awakened and been educated about how the left has duped us all these decades, we’ve learned about their strategies as well. Thank God! Before, I, for one, didn’t think about this stuff much. So now they’re getting even more desperate & really becoming more bold and raucous, which will further bring about their downfall.

      You are DEAD On! They are desperate. The charade is over and Elvis has left the buiding. The only thing they have left is that the American people have not acted on any of this continued treason by the media and this administration. They know there will be a tipping point. And then Lezbo Janet will delcare all patriots terrorists and all traitors patriots.

      Even now the true Anti-semites lie right to everyones faces. And those who openly support Israel are the Anti-semites.

      Can‘t wait to see the look on their faces when God or freedom lov’n Americans wipes them clean off the earth. Or anyone who cherishes freedom.

      Hiding behind woman and children will not work. When you go to the darkside it doesn’t matter how old or what sex you are. Unfortunately most of you drones don‘t even realize it’s happening to you.

      May God have mercy on those who are ignorant. May he totally destroy evil once and for all.

    Don’t raise the debt and they will be forced to cut programs-the only problem is they will say, just like the local and state governments that it will mean cutting police and fire, rather than bloated administrators and their extraordinary pay. the problem is the U.S. citizen hears that SS or medicare would be cut or not payed will scare just the right people. Just goes to show that you can fool most of the people all the time( see 2008 election).

So I guess as they see the Tea Party and conservatives as threats to the country still, then the Taliban must be the most liberal of movements in the left’s eyes? (sarcasm intentional)

      Ok let’s try and look at this intelligently. Debt was incurred in the past $10 trillion of it during Reagan, Bush Sr. and Bush Jr. for spending which exceeded tax revenues at the time. Now part of the solution is to reduce spending which of course is necessary. The problem is you can’t cut enough current spending to even begin to pay down the debt. Current tax revenues are down due to the recession, so it is no surprise that they are inadequate to cover the spending levels that were present under Bush. So a stance by the Republicans that there can be no tax increases or even reduction in tax breaks or credits is nothing more than cheap politics. Like any 5th. grader they can do the math. If they were actually serious about cutting the deficit they would participate in an adult discussion.

      Rook, you want adult, no tax increase to a level over 20% has ever increased revenue, no tax cut from levels above 20% to below 20% has ever decreased revenue. So any right minded adult would be demanding we cut all taxes to a rate below 20% to increase revenue in these hard economic times.

      Why people continue to give in to the temptation of self-aggrandizement I will never understand. One thing I do understand, however, is that people will maliciously, with forethought and without basis in fact, attack that which threatens the beliefs that they hold, no matter how delusion or irrationable they may be. Pray for Tina Brown that her eyes may be opened to the truth.
