Did anyone else happen to catch Lawrence O'Donnell's performance on
"Morning Joe" yesterday?

O'Donnell reminds me a lot of Harry in terms of his politics and
ideologically. Very liberal with no tolerance for other points of view
and of the GOP in particular. He even uses some of the same words and
phrases that Harry likes to use when describing (attacking) anyone with
a conservative streak.

Anyway, the subject was Trump and his financial statement release.
O'Donnell accused Trump of lying, particularly about how much money
NBC has paid him for his 14 season run of "The Apprentice".

O'Donnell had no proof of his assertion that Trump was lying. He just
went on a half hour emotional rant about it, using air time that was
reserved for other guests and topics. It got to be a free for all at
one point with Joe Scarborough ripping O'Donnell a new asshole ... for
being an asshole. Even the liberal Mika Brzezinski appeared to be shell
shocked with O'Donnell's rantings as were the other panel members.

Later that evening on his own show "The Last Word" O'Donnell apologized
profusely for his performance. He even admitted that he liked Donald
Trump and Trump had sent him a message of congratulations back when
O'Donnell returned to the show following a lengthy recovery from an
accident he was involved in.

He said that rather than sue O'Donnell for his slander on the show,
Trump had offered a bet. He said he'd bet O'Donnell's yearly pay from
MSNBC that his claims were accurate.

O'Donnell refused, saying he's not a betting man plus ... he admitted
that he could be wrong. He had no proof. Instead he just apologized
again and apologized to the other Morning Joe guest who's time he used
in his ranting and raving.

Making up **** and lying seems to be the liberal way to win an argument
but I think O'Donnell realized he attacked the wrong person this time.


"Making up **** and lying seems to be the liberal way to win an
argument."

You really addled enough to say that after ranting about Lawrence
making **** up?

Holy crap, Richard. Aluminum tubes, yellowcake, WMDs (in and around
Tikrit), mobile weapons labs, mushrooms clouds?

Let me correct it for you... Making up **** and lying seems to be
some human's way to win an argument.

Lawrence's little escapade didn't result in anyone's death but I'm
sure you consider him as morally bankrupt as Bush, Cheney, Perle,
Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld, etc.

It's nice to know you've never been led to believe something, made a statement about
same, and then found out you'd been misled.

You're some kind of super, man. Right up there with Krause, who's also never made a
mistake.

Huh? I was pontificating on the relative moral bankruptcy of Lawrence
vs. "conservatives" who apparently don't make **** up and lie to win
arguments.



Why is it necessary to compare despicable and dishonest behavior as if
some are minor while others are major. It's an equal character flaw.

One flaw's outcome is misinformation, the other is death. The question
is, at what point do you abandon your flaw in the interest of the
greater good?

I doubt Lawrence would send people to their deaths based a on lie but
neither of us know that for sure.
