Morning Joe's Mika Brzezinski, and the media in the plastic bubble
Democrats had so much hope for the Occupy movement, they were sure they could create their own version of the tea party in time for the 2012 elections
Alas, unlike the tea party that actually attracted previously unengaged voters to their cause, the Occupy movement’s core of professional activists found themselves only able to swell their numbers with union members, paid protesters, clueless college students and those who wanted both a free lunch and an area where law enforcement was non-existent.
The results were predictable.
Not surprisingly as the mess grew so did the rap sheet including deaths, sexual assaults, thievery, drug dealing that has become an embarrassment for democrats who initially rushed to support them. It’s actually reached the point where people are being assaulted for NOT joining the movement.
Not really the cup of tea for a pol seeking re-election is it?
NEWYORK (AP) — The Republican Party and the tea party seemed to be a natural political pairing. But what may have seemed like another politically beneficial alliance — Democrats and Occupy Wall Street — hasn’t happened.
Insert record scratch here.
Sorry AP, but the only reason Democrats see a minefield is because they’re standing in it.
Democrats such as…
…House Democrats. And look, the story about House Democrats endorsing Occupy is an AP story!
When the AP matter-of-factly (the most effective way to propagandize) states that this natural alliance “hasn’t happened” … they are lying. The alliance between Occupy and prominent Democrats occurred weeks ago
And Mr. Nolte has left out Elizabeth Warren a Morning Joe Favorite who embraced the movement at first, but after this ad started running
Yet today on Morning Joe, you would not know this at all. John Heilman, Mark Halperin, Jeffery Sachs and Mika Brzezinski, excoriated Newt Gingrich for suggesting that the occupods need to get a bath then a job. To the Morning Joe/Politico/MSNBC crowd the entire 302 count rap sheet doesn’t exist, the assaults, the cries for socialism, the robberies and the violence, none of these things have happened.
And it not just the rap sheet that is missing, note WHO is missing from today’s show as well. We see SNL skits featuring Jon Huntsman and a pseudo Mitt Romney, we see David Letterman treating Herman Cain in a fashion they would not tolerate for a liberal pol, but strangely no clip from Jon Stewart. Perhaps because Stewart gave the occupod movement a fatal blow among the youth who might have joined in the hopes of being cool or getting laid.
When he gets back to hitting the GOP I’m sure he will return to their link lineup.
It is almost as if the new media and the internet doesn’t exist for Morning Joe today. It brings to mind the old information ministries of the old Soviet Union or even Baghdad Bob assuring us that the Americans are about to be defeated as our troops are just a few hundred yards away.
How and why could this be? It’s pretty simple, the goal today is not to inform, it is to re-assure the niche audience that gets their info strictly from the far left that all is still well. I suspect their efforts will be much like Kevin Bacon’s
And what is the lesson we should learn from this? You likely have already guessed it
While journalists are quick to expose conflicts of interest that could influence political leaders, some often-sympathetic reporters covering the Occupy Wall Street movement might want to look in the mirror.
Those are the journalists belonging to the Newspaper Guild, a national union that represents many journalists in the state, including some at The New York Times.
The Guild is a branch of the CWA, or Communications Workers of America, one of the strongest supporters of the Occupy effort in the nation.
The union’s home page on the Web, for instance, proudly declares, “CWA Supports the Occupy Movement.’
…look at their home page is filled with links to the OWS movement, as well as one to recall Governor Walker in Wisconsin, so don’t expect any impartial coverage of that story, either.
When you “share” the goals of the deranged occupiers, don’t expect fair and balanced coverage.
To the rest of the MSM the New York Post has become an “unpaper” in the same way dissidents in the old Soviet Union became “Unpersons.”
Did you know that not so long ago opponents of the Ground Zero mosque were denied a permit for a protest there? [Emphasis added]
The owner, Brookfield Properties, expressly prohibits tents, tarps and sleeping in the park — rules ignored by the protesters. It also has a history of denying use of the park for political activities, which is within its rights. Last year the city and Brookfield Properties denied a request by a group to use the park to protest against the planned new mosque near the World Trade Center. A content-neutral approach, the cornerstone of First Amendment jurisprudence, should also have kept Occupy Wall Street out. [Read More]
Since when is the taking over of a public space an exercise of one’s First Amendment rights? And if the Occupiers could do it, why not the anti-Mosque people?
I suspect if they anti-Mosque crew “occupied” the park way back when the Mika Brzezinski would not have been so supportive and the Mayor of NY would not have needed two months to eject them.
County officials this week released a list of 93 complaints of disruptive and illegal behavior near the county’s main offices and courthouse, adjacent to the Occupy Santa Cruz camp.
Since the camp was joined by dozens of tents that belong to the homeless, county workers and others have documented drug and alcohol use, public urination and defecation, littering, bathing in county restrooms, fights and more. Two pieces of artwork on display at the county building were vandalized — although county officials said it is not known who was responsible for it.
Several planned courthouse marriages also had to be moved, deputy April Skalland said Friday.
Exit question: Would the 60’s be worshiped the way they are if the internet and camera phones existed to record the hippies etc as they actually were?
Update 4: Instalanche a great way to start the week. And if you like this kind of thing please consider kicking into my November fundraiser, all that I do here is paid for by the ads you see, and YOU.
Update 5: via MRC and Hotair.com here is the video:
It is impossible for people of good faith to disagree with Mika, because disagreeing with Mika is proof of bad faith. And if you weren’t so dumbed-down from watching Fox News, you’d understand that.
To Mika and her friends, sympathy toward the Occupiers is not merely an emotional feeling, but rather an objective fact: “These are good people. Their cause is worthy. They deserve support.”

Thank you for writing this. You hit every note that needed to be hit and did so very deftly.

“The Republican Party and the tea party seemed to be a natural political pairing. But what may have seemed like another politically beneficial alliance — Democrats and Occupy Wall Street — hasn’t happened.”
This is how an honest objective reporter would have written this story.
“The Republican Party and the tea party seemed to be a natural political pairing. But democratss who hoped for the same from OWS, and had professed their support for it, are now fleeing that alliance, amid massive problems with violence and lawlessness from OWS.”
Mika is an idiot and no, that’s not a dumb blond joke. She really is.
Anyway, she plays to the right crowd so they keep her around.
But the thing that screams “hypocrite” with this show of 1 percenters who feign sympathy to the protests is the recurring present of $800 shoes by Donny Deutsch to Mika that typically ends in a variation of her squealing with delight.
I don’t fault her for wanting to own a stupid pair of shoes but think how many expressos that money could buy to keep the movement going.
From the article: “The Republican Party and the tea party seemed to be a natural political pairing.”
The MSM just refuses to understand, don’t they? The TEA Party and the Republican Party have nothing really in common. In fact, the TEA Party has been trying to clean out the Republican Party and put Conservatives into power because the Republican Party and the GOP are broken.
Just think how badly Mika will feel when Newt says this:
I, Newt Gingrich, do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
Exit question: Would the 60′s be worshiped the way they are if the internet and camera phones existed to record the hippies etc as they actually were?
No, they would not, and you will note that the people romanticizing the 60′s are the young who weren’t there, and those burnt out hippies who were. The rest of us look back on that era with less than fondness.
It strikes me that the Tea Party should hold one more really large protest. (I know, we’re working through political channels to make a difference now, but hear me out.)
A series of small protests across the country, or one large one… doesn’t matter. But do the same thing the occusquatters do: just show up, without permits or posting liability bonds or anything. Plan on being there all weekend and camping out for that time. Just show up and peacefully protest, and let the chips fall where they may. If we get arrested for not having permits, then the authorities have to explain their double standard for our protests versus the occusquatters. If we don’t get arrested, then we can once and for all visibly prove to the media, the politicians, and our fellow citizens that we’re actually peaceful, where the occusquatters aren’t. The future ads can read: “Which would you prefer as your neighbors?” while showing contrasting images of TP versus occusquatter protests.
Don’t even make it about Obama — no signs recalling him or depicting him as the Joker or anything. Just make it about the economy. The credit downgrade. How the free market, not government, creates jobs. Bailouts are bad, regardless of who gets them. In short, nothing at all which could even remotely play into the left’s overuse of the racism card. This will accomplish two things: it will prove we’re not racists, and 2) it will demonstrate that we are just as frustrated that our economy is sinking and crony capitalism, along with the politicians who love it, are to blame.
Because as it stands now, the media narrative of those “dangerous, racist tea party” people is still out there. Time to refute it utterly, and do it while the occusquatters’ actions are fresh in everyone’s minds.
The signs write themselves: “If bank bailouts are bad, why are student loan bailouts good?”
The left has been going through their Flounder Moment (“Face it, Flounder. You f***ed up. You trusted us!”) with the admin for a couple of years now. They’re finally reaching their Kevin Bacon moment.

Awesome work, you are DA MAN
best to you and happy thanksgiving
It’s a punchline to an old Johnny Carson routine.
A: ‘get a job and take a bath’
Q: ‘What are 2 things OWS protesters will never do?’
Thank you for writing this. You hit every note that needed to be hit and did so very deftly.
When I boil down Mika’s little fit of outrage, what I end up with is a Leftist angry that someone told the truth — which is what most of the MSM snit fits are about. Someone was blunt and ignored their edict of political correctness.

Chrissie Matthews gives blondes a bad rep; Mika is simply trying to keep up.
Cheers
“The Republican Party and the tea party seemed to be a natural political pairing. But what may have seemed like another politically beneficial alliance — Democrats and Occupy Wall Street — hasn’t happened.”
This is how an honest objective reporter would have written this story.
“The Republican Party and the tea party seemed to be a natural political pairing. But democratss who hoped for the same from OWS, and had professed their support for it, are now fleeing that alliance, amid massive problems with violence and lawlessness from OWS.”
It should be pointed out as well Richard that the tea party does not trust the GOP
Mika is an idiot and no, that’s not a dumb blond joke. She really is.
Anyway, she plays to the right crowd so they keep her around.

“Would the 60′s be worshiped the way they are if the internet and camera phones existed to record the hippies etc as they actually were?”
I remember that time, and I thought the hippies sucked back then, too.
Mika gives “dumb blonds” a bad name.
I wouldn’t call her dumb just blinded by ideological stripes
No. She’s there to make the rest of them look smart. Er, smarter?
I sat next to her at an event. She’s dumber than a box of rocks. Really. You could kill yourself just listening to her.
From the article: “The Republican Party and the tea party seemed to be a natural political pairing.”
The MSM just refuses to understand, don’t they? The TEA Party and the Republican Party have nothing really in common. In fact, the TEA Party has been trying to clean out the Republican Party and put Conservatives into power because the Republican Party and the GOP are broken.
Would Bloomberg have allowed this when he was maneuvering for his third term and overthrowing the term limits that should have prevented it?
