It's like how slavery started in the U.S. The poor whites and the blacks were starting to revolt against the plantation owners and the owners got together and convinced the whites that the blacks were out to get them. Read Howard Zinn's book if you don't believe me
I would not disagree with a word you wrote.

No..his problem, along with most of the MSNBC prime time lineup is:

No one watches..the ratings stink.

The moron is to be replaced by another moron, Al Sharpton.

It's a tough sell. Liberals usually don't want someone to tell them how to think. And on top of that, the liberal fire is usually at the tendency for the rich and powerful to screw everyone else. I would imagine the rich and powerful might not like that....

I haven't watched Cenk in a while since i'm out of the country, but when he first took over the time slot I thought he was horrific. Like not even watchable. I even started a thread on how awful he was. I don't mind opposing views, but this guy was completely over the top.

I agree, and I think it's one of the main reasons why there's less turnover at Fox News. Conservatives don't like dissenting viewpoints within their ranks. Respecting authority is an important component of conservatism.

Ahhh Cenk, we hardly knew ye............and thank God for that.

I showed my wife a Youtube of his predecessor (KO) last night (while I watch both sides, she doesn't usually) and she had to leave the room due to invective/adjective sickness.

She's well this morning though but it was touch n go.

I liked Cenk because he would routinely question the Democrats on why they roll over for the Republicans constantly in the current budget debate.

Probably more accurate to say MSNBC does not want to completely emulate FOX, with hyper partisan hosts. Ed Shultz should be wary as well.
