Thursday's The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell on MSNBC displayed a classic example of how liberals fail to grasp the basic logic of people's economic decisions or, even when they are aware of economic principles, they still find reasons to be dismissive of a predictable outcome that goes against how they wish the world would function.
As host O'Donnell convened a group to discuss an…

Hypocritical Ex-DNCer Karen Finney Blasts Priebus Over Debates; In
August 13th, 2013 2:17 PM
It’s hardly surprising that MSNBC host and former DNC communications director Karen Finney took issue with Reince Priebus’ campaign against the liberal media on Saturday’s Disrupt. Finney mocked “Reince’s rage” and suggested that the Republican National Committee (RNC) chairman is “full of you know what.”
What is surprising is that Finney’s searing critique came despite the fact that she and…
Howard Dean: Rand Paul's No Libertarian Because He's Pro-Life
August 1st, 2013 8:06 AM

July 23rd, 2013 1:54 PM
MSNBC’s newest weekend host is also a former communications director for the Democratic National Committee (DNC). Sometimes, though, it’s hard to tell if Karen Finney ever left the DNC.

Howard Dean: National Review's Rich Lowry a 'Right-wing Nutcase
May 30th, 2013 8:49 AM
When it comes to identifying nutcases, some might say that Howard Dean gleans valuable experience daily, while shaving.
The failed presidential candidate put his expertise to dubious use on Morning Joe today, calling National Review editor Rich Lowry a "right-wing nutcase." Lowry's sin? Having written a column mocking Eric Holder, and President Obama's decision to put Holder in charge of…

Howard Dean, Birther? Claims Koch Brothers Not 'Real Americans
September 25th, 2012 8:56 PM
When you watch Howard Dean, do you sense he's often on the verge of losing it? He seemed to be on The Ed Show tonight, bizarrely claiming that the Koch brothers aren't "real Americans."
After fulminating about the brothers' "booty," Dean somehow made the surreal suggestion that--in contrast with American teachers--the Koch brothers aren't "real Americans." View the video after the jump.
