WaPo reporter: Bashir “fired” over Palin remarks because outrage never abated

WaPo reporter: Bashir “fired” over Palin remarks because outrage never abated. “I think the reality is probably that he was asked to leave,” he continued. “That is to say he was fired, but in the legal world in which we live, perhaps they couldn’t exactly say that.” Like Alinsky said, make ’em live up to their own rules.

  • Acting "outraged" is the number one tool in the liberal tool box.

    "make ‘em live up to their own rules" is a great suggestion

    • Won't matter, they have no morals or shame. They won't care about our outrage. That's their ace in the hole, we have morals and feel shame, they don't give a shit.

  • If that's all it takes maybe we should start acting outraged about those other MSNBC asshats like Sharpton.

  • It appears Little Brazire lied about leaving PMSNBC...gosh that's a real surprise....a liar on PMSNBC....whoda thunk it?

  • We should NEVER stop asking questions until they are answered. MSNBC, do the right thing, or show everyone who you are by publicly refusing, and tell us why.

  • There is no reason why Conservatives needed to stop asking MSNBC why he wasn't fire or disciplined. As a commentator stated maybe Matt Lauer complained because Sarah cancelled that interview with him. Whatever the case, if they are going to be screaming about civility and whatever then they need to be held accountable when they are uncivil.
