MSNBC Journalist gets owned
 

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/vid... conomics.html



Today, Contessa "educated" a conservative Representative that without the bailout, the country would be in "a depression." Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) said he disagreed which prompted the MSNBC host to ask him if he had a degree in economics.

"Yes ma'am, I do. Highest honors," Rep. Brooks responded.

According to his Congressional page: "Mo graduated from Duke University in three years with a double major in political science and economics, with highest honors in economics. In 1978, he graduated from the University of Alabama Law School."

:1orglaugh Man, you're reaching the bottom of the "I hate liberals, so see what I come up with to prove they are wrong and I'm right" barrel. Weak.

Sadly, many of the people with degrees in economics appear to be absolutely clueless about economics. The real world versus the classroom, and all that.

Plus if you let your politics get in the way of common sense, you can deny that the bailout kept the US out of a depression. It's a good story, just like the missile hitting the pentagon rather than a plane.

ronnie paul don't need no stinkin degree in economics.

a degree just means you paid enough attention in class about what other people said through someone who gets paid between $50k and $90k a year to repeat what that person said :2 cents:

sad, but even talking to people with their masters, most are fucking retarded.

Don't you have some affiliates to help?

I know I'm not the only one with 1:20k ratios with VS (much better with LJ).

Maybe I'm just promoting you guys wrong.

wow what ownage mind blowing!!!!

So the host couldn't use any real arguments to support her position and instead resorted to the use of an ad hominem argument. At that point, no reply was even needed to make her look bad. :)

what shitty school you go to then? You can't get a degree without writing papers without some original thought in them.

Who needs a degree from Duke when you can learn everything from porn webmaster board and sound just as smart as this guy. After all this is the place to learn about welfare, immigration, foreign policy and pretty much everything else.

I know many people that paid people to write their papers for them.

And there you have it. :1orglaugh

that explains a lot about canada. :winkwink:

Contessa should have done better then to question the congressmans pedigree. Because anyone asserting that the economy would have persisted without the bailout is a moron.

Most of the economy runs smoothly due to credit. Its how auto dealers stock their lots, how payrolls get paid before revenues are realized, shit its how government at all levels keeps functioning. & the number in your checking account? the bank doesnt hold your money, it gets tied into the credit markets.

Frozen credit markets would mean that all business in america simply stops, like a heart attack.

You forgot to tell us that you don't just hate Democrats, you hate them all.

If that all your extent of " ownage " ....

Watch Steve Doocy getting really owned on the phone hacking when he portrays Fox as the victim, comparing to ATT ( that was hacked, but dids not hack ) ...

a degree doesn't mean you're smart or even learned anything...

I tried to help a very college educated person recently with starting a blog with adsense, they are supposed to be some super great writer and smart person... within three days they got canned for clicking their own ads!!! They took their laptop to friend's work thinking somehow google wouldn't know it was them, clicked, bam got the google shitcan. lol

duh, they even actually read all terms and made sure they knew everything google had to say before doing this... I thought with all their facebook popularity they'd do great... I'd get a link. NOPE. They failed. I am still laughing.

I took back my helping hand. haha

I only went for a year but the grades I got on some of my BS papers were downright scary... easy 'A' FTW.

Funny, I don't see you criticizing the liberal, anti right bullshit that is prevalent on this forum.

Ask 10 economists for an opinion and you'll get 10 different opinions.

Would the US economy survive well, with the massive loans stopping?

Whose stupid enough to try it????????????????

No money to pay Government workers from park cleaners to politicians, Social benefits, medical, Government schemes, arms, equipment for Government use from a note pad to Airforce 1, trips to Mars and a million other things. Like toilet paper to Stealth Bombers to Nuclear Aircraft Carriers.

OK some of it would carry on, but your taxes would go sky high to make up the difference or the riots on the streets would need the Army and Police to quell.

And they are the ones holding the rocket launchers in amongst the mob. :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Think about it.

So everyone that has a different opinion than you is a moron? Just a touch of Narcissism don't you think?

who????????

A better question to ask a Congressman would of been. So how would we pay you and your staff's wages and costs?

And all the other bills the Government needs to meet?

She was dumb asking a question she didn't know the answer to and had poorly researched the interviewee.

If the US defaults it will be mayhem in the US. All the things Government spends it's money on rolls down to the people. Well most of it. The public sector workers spend money in shops and even some buy porn online.

She was trying to discredit his response and got owned, period

It's still funny when I hear people say the economy would have collapsed without the stimulus. All hail the residual fallacy!

its not an opinion. a 15 trillion economy cannot run without credit. are you asserting otherwise?

Your ass gets owned just about everyday but you don't see anyone making threads about it.

It's MSNBC for christ sakes. The only network that has reporters more obnoxious than Fox. At least Fox News has some hotties with Law Degrees.

when Allen Greenspan announced he had no idea what the hell was going on...that his theories of some 40 years were shit...why should we believe anything this repiglican douche says? So what he has a degree. Harvard gave a degree to that jagoff monkey Bush...

and this is the EXACT reason that the economy is fucked.

How do you have a company that can not earn enough to pay the daily bills without loans?

Oddly plenty of companies in porn pay the bills without taking out loans, they have employees and they also have other expenses as well.

Are you still available for twitter blasts? You never told me how much.
And Im still interested in your skype bot, david.

Agreed, I could of asked better questions and would of looked up his Bio online. Owning her is easy.

Why did MSNBC employ such a bad interviewer?

Robin Day or Jeremy Paxman would of had the Congressman in knots.

it can't, but you can't prove that not getting the stimulus would have ended any differently than using it. NO one can, nor can it be proved that getting helped anything, considering they haven't used all of it.

Hey man, which school did you get your economics degree at?

Fishing for an insult?

? $2 billion earmark to re-start FutureGen, a near-zero emissions coal power plant in Illinois that the Department of Energy defunded last year because it said the project was inefficient.

? A $246 million tax break for Hollywood movie producers to buy motion picture film.

? $650 million for the digital television converter box coupon program.

just some of the wasted money from the stimulus, don't need a degree to see that

There's a difference why everyone else ignores Alex. There's so much stupidity people can stand before they change their expression from laughter to pity.

bailout = floating a failing company

let them fail, they failed not us, why should we have to bail them out? that is not how capitalism works.

Thank you, let's bail out a 15trill economy and turn it into a 18trillion economy!

Fuck VS, vendzilla has a higher mission.

don't say he is conservative though, he hates republicans as much as liberals, the fact it's only since 09 he's been making thread after thread after fucking thread is purely coincidental.

why not. do you not remember that in sept 2008, the credit markets froze? as in, completely stopped functioning. They only became unglued when congress passed the bailout.

Are you asserting that no bailout, the credit market would have started back up by itself? When all the wall street banks were no longer liquid?

Thats like saying a heart attack victim can give himself CPR.

he was a sailor in the navy..

he learned how to salute and probably not much more..

i think he used to wake up and kiss reagans picture every morning..

any quick linkies u recommend on this? would like to learn more.....thx in advance.:thumbsup

You didn't really think this one through did you?

Yes it was not spent wisely. Like Bush's tax break for the rich or invading Iraq. All bad spending.

But that badly spent money went into the US economy.

Illinois got a lot of money.
Hollywood got a lot of money, where was the film made?
The digital converter box money probably ended up in China.

The loans go INTO the US economy. Take them away and that money disappears. How do you think they will replace it?

Good luck on the US manufacturing or Wall Street filling the gap. Their alrady filling their part of the gap.

The harsh truth it the US like so many Western Economies, produce too little and spend too much. Look at Greece for the worse example, the US needs to pull in the spending and up taxes. Because increasing production isn't going to happen with anything the Governments do.

What a condescending cunt.

:disgust

David, how much for your skype bot. You never answered my PM on black hat world. Are you busy?

one more point...look at the TED spread when the bailout passed in October. Thats all the proof you need that the bailout unfroze the credit market. Please do keep asserting the complete collapse of wall street would have been meaningless to every person in america with money in the bank.

No, how could I. Its just that everyone of your post sound so intelligent. Harvard MBA grad I would guess?
See, David the Ubber Jew from Houston has MBA too. Telling you, kid is genius. If you ever need twitter spam blast or good skype bot, talk to that guy. Who would have thought that at the young age of 28 he would've achieved so much !

:1orglaugh thanks for this info...

now i know exactly who this little cunt is.... :thumbsup
