Tim Russert dies of a heart attack

[Canvasback]

Having viewed your picture when clicking your profile page to pm you I can understand why you want to stick up for pumpkinheaded pricks. The fact remains he was a total waste of space as one of the Pravda-like US media's top "journalists."

Instead of pming this I'll just post it here.

If you had any idea what you were talking about kid, you might be a danger to society.

I know exactly what I'm talking about and I'm not a kid. Or a danger to society.

...no you're just a fucking jackass


Anyone to the right of Keith Olberman and you're probably thinking "Oh he's just a talking head for Bush"....you don't know shit about anything you arrogant prick.


Tim Russert never played favorites in politics, he grilled people for answers and when they tried to spin something on them he owned them but in a very sincere and pleasant way...by showing the person in question and when they said something completely different to what they were trying to feed him at the moment. Tim Russert was a great man and great political pundit.


As for you Kirkland...I'll not say anything when you pick on Rush or Hannity or Boortz or whoever has an agenda....Russert had no agenda he just wanted to get politicians talking open and honestly and you have no class and we all know that but you come in here and try to show off for everyone anyway.....go fuck yourself KL...it may have been OK for you to debate me for a while but this type of crap has me 100% sick of you....you never bring anything but a fatalistic attitude and your lack of couth and stubborness is old....your act is tired and I can only hope that maybe someday you can realize what a fuckhead you are and maybe you can change your life around so no one wants to kill themselves whenever you talk to them you piece of garbage.

Russert wasn't a professional journalist. He was a lawyer who became a Washington political operative and befriended the CEO of GE, one of America's largest corporations. He sent Russert to run NBC, a GE company and source of less than 3% of GE's total profit. Russert's job was to make sure NBC was generally positive about and never really questioning of the government, government contracting representing 40% of GE's income. He was also GE's eyes and ears in Washington, GE investing billions in lobbying administrations obviously wanting to know what's going on.


Everything you watch is run by five guys, all of whom with exactly the same outlook. Russert was emblematic of the moment when US news media stopped asking questions the government didn't want to answer. It's a personal tragedy for the family and everything but Russert was no journalist. He just played one on TV. He was a corporate lawyer with a powerful friend and a fraud and an imposter on the telly.

When did this become a condolence thread? He's just a crook who died today. That some people believe he's worth feeling sorry over is entirely up to them.

If you didn't like the guy, then don't post in the thread. But coming in here, making baseless accusations (accomplish to war crimes that killed hundreds of thousands of people? Explain that) and trying to draw attention to yourself in the way you are is just childish. We all know that you like to think that you are so much more knowledgeable and highly evolved than the rest of us peons, we get it, but your self-indulgence gets old fast and often crosses the line, which is why you were banned before.

Kirkland you're a piece of shit....I'm sure that's not news to anyone but I just feel maybe if I tell you that enough times just maybe you'll realize what a worthless piece of crap you really are and maybe you'll change your life because of it.....admitting you have a problem is the first step

If I was a Mod I would have banned you long ago because you add nothing but negative bullshit to the entire forum.

And regardless of your feelings about Tim Russert the type of bullshit you bring to this thread is uncalled for.
