Greenwald was someone I respected at some point (loooooong time ago), But what he is saying is totally true. I don’t think my 20 year old daughter has watched MSNBC or CNN ever. Fox News? For her that is the Infernal propaganda channel. I personally have not watched TV in decades other than Football (Premier League Football), although I do visit CNN’s website regularly.

HAHAHA! Right? The dude is so utterly internally conflicted I almost feel like I have to keep watching so I don’t miss out on the REAL meltdown when it arrives. I absolutely do NOT want to wake up one morning and be told I somehow didn’t have front row seats.

And don’t forget Dr. Oz running in PA when his residence is in NJ.

I’d really just love the opposition to start pointing out the carpetbagging for these GQP candidates, the way the Right did when Hillary was running for NY Senate and hadn’t lived there.

@tena She lived in NY when she ran. She didn’t run from Arkansas or DC.

Not that this stopped them

I stand corrected. My apologies. I will change my comment.

Nothing did with Hillary. But the implication in the comment was that she carpetbagged and since the right does that, there is no use to our side doing it too.

My question would be, what does the law in the State say.

For some, there’s a residency requirement that has to be met. If he isn’t meeting it (much as I suspect Oz isn’t meeting PA’s requirement), he shouldn’t be allowed to be on the ballot.

Period.

See, this is a PERFECT example:

That? THAT is what he’s fucking concerned about MSNC and CNN and the rest of the Zombie Fourth Estate missing and failing to focus on? THAT is his example of how they are failing their audiences? That THING that just so happens to be getting turned into ripe far right white supremacist propaganda right now?

Seriously, he’s either mentally ill, taking money from Putin or both. And frankly, maybe he’s also a fucking racist. And no, I don’t give a fuck who he married. That proves nothing.

I don’t know what the statutes say - I’d have to look. But I totally agree if there is a residency requirement they aren’t meeting then their names should not be on ballots.

Or as one former EPA official [put it]…“Does he really have that little self-awareness?”

One must have some self-awareness in order to have a little self-awareness…

It’s just the constitutional requirements, one of which is to be a resident of the state one is running to represent at the time of the election. So he’ll have to move to Oklahoma if he’s serious.
