Brzezinski dismisses "real Americans" criticism: "If you guys don't understand what I'm saying ... please" 

Give it up, Mika. You can stop digging now.

By the way... if Palintwit represents what a "real American" is, then I'll gladly accept classification as an "artificial American".

I honestly don't understand what she's saying. My guess is that she thinks middle America is kind of simple-minded and that she's electing to use the word "real" in place of "simple".

I understand, Mika. You're saying that the 'real America' that you wish for is one in which Sarah Palin's conservative views speak to a majority of Americans. What you don't understand is that you live in a country that is left-center, not right-center, and you are not smart enough or honest enough to admit that you made a mistake about this.

Mika, I do understand what you are saying, the question is, do you understand what you are saying? I agree that the extremist, murderous, nutjobs are not really representative of the majority of conservatives. I also agree that political discourse has become shrill and uncivil and that should change. And, I further agree that real Americans aren't given enough representation by the ruling elite of Washington and Wall Street. However, it seems to me that you are saying that if you come from a Conservative, lower class background, as I do, and if you work and borrow money to go to a state college, as I did, and you travel extensively and live in foreign country, as I did, and you happen to be a liberal and bookish, as I am, then, you aren't a real American. In fact, people like me, are out of touch elitists, while you, the pampered child of a Washington insider with an enormous salary and a job on TV, are better able to understand and speak for real Americans than I am. What was that...Please!

Uh, Mika? Joe? Yeah, guys. We get it.

If you're worried that we might not be able to attain the intellectual level necessary to understand what you're saying, believe me - we've stooped even lower to achieve comprehension of some of your colleagues.

An example, Joe? We also understand that when you say

"Can't we just block everybody from sending e-mail this morning?"

you're metaphorically putting your fingers in your ears and going "la la la la..."

I possess a handful of college degrees, but sorry, mika, I don't understand what you're saying. Please enlighten all us peasants.

Mika, just shut the hell up already. If you're stupid enough to play the bogus 'real American' card and then whine when confronted over it then you have no business being on TV.

If I was your Dad I would be highly disappointed in your stupidity. You certainly didn't get it from him.

I am a hard working person, lower middle income, worked my way through college and live in a conservative state (North Dakota).

I consider myself a "real American" but I am a Democrat!!!

Mika stop digging...you are full of it!!

My problem is more with her contention that Palin's views are somehow mainstream. But maybe I'm wrong. Maybe what she was saying was that only people who think like Palin are real Americans. I don't know. It's all so confusing.

I live near the shoreline of Connecticut. Like most Americans, I'm not all that easily classified. I'm a reliable Democratic vote, but I hunt and fish and support the 2nd Amendment as vigorously as I support universal health care with a public plan and taking aggressive steps to reach energy independence through cap and trade.

My question for you, Mika, is where do I go to get my "Fake American" passport? I'm traveling to Wisconsin later this year to pick up a new Chesapeake Bay Retriever puppy, and I want to have my "fake" documentation. Another thing, Mika, where can I expect the border crossing stations into "Real America"?

I find it interesting that only media matters has balls enough to even report this. I have tried unsucessfully to get Huffingtonpost to report this story to no avail. Maybe if everybody emailed them, they would listen, or maybe they don't want MSNBC mad at them so they won't ask them to be guests? But Mika not only dissed real americans she dissed working mothers all over the world yesterday.

Mika's mindset was bleated during a conversation between Laura Ingraham and Jim DeMint (Moron-SC) yesterday:

Ingraham: "You know, real Americans out there, they are just so hungry for Conservative leadership..."

DeMint: "...and we don't have the votes right now to give it to them."

Ingraham: "...and they are getting really frustrated about it..."

Yes, "Real Americans" are so frustrated by the fact that Conservatives are not in charge, and never you mind that we just had an election last November where Real Americans were given the opportunity to pick the Government they wanted. Whatever. Go on pretending that "Real" Americans want people like Palin and DeMint to run things, regardless of election results. And get your excuses ready for 2010.

By Mika's definition, I wonder if she considers her dad to be a "real American." He's an elitist liberal-leaning Democrat, isn't he? And a furriner to boot.

Mika's obsession with and blinders on attitude about Palin is not only embarrassing but, makes Pat Buchanan look like one of Palin's detractors.
Mika has a massive woman crush on Palin.

Bout damn time the liberal part of the blogosphere got under the skin of an elitist reichy enough to make them backpeddle on their lies and apologize...

I think it highlights perfectly how the media personalities act when questioned and or critized about their reporting or lack of. Look at the virtual blackout of the big three cable networks of the fact they allowed Pentagon apologist masquerade themselves as objective military analyst in the run up to the Iraq war. Not a word has been uttered about on CNN,MSNBC, or Faux! They become very defensive and circle the wagons if you critize their reporting in the lead up to Iraq! They refuse to answer or be held responsible for their failure to be responsible reporters,then laugh at us, the unsophisticants. It's like they flip us off! This week with Mika and her response to this "Real America" crap highlights what is wrong with the so-called liberal MSM and it's pundocracy!

Well, I'm from an area that Mika would call "real America" and our local newspaper ran a poll the day after Palin's speech . . . the question was "would you vote for Palin for president"? I think the margin was something like 75-25 . . . the nays won.

What these folks are defining as conservative values are NOT. And, as I said on another thread, I know just as many conservative Democrats as conservative Republicans. Party is irrelevant.

What's to spin?
Mika, you said "Real Americans" are who Palin speaks to.
Who are these "real Americans" you speak of?
How sad I don't fit her definition, whatever that is.
Nor anyone else I know.

I'm only a Brooklyn high school graduate, paralegal, single mother of college graduates, as a 'real American' who has worked to support my kids (paycheck to paycheck) consistently since 5/23/73 I feel qualified to say . .

Real American women and feminists applaud working moms. Mika is wrong about women not connected to Palin 'cause she's a woman who has 5 kids. Women can't connect to Palin because she is a fraud. She is UNDEReducated. Why hasn't anyone on Morning Joe talk about Ms. Palin's lack of intelligence? Mika should admit that Palin's good looks have opened up many doors, as they do beautiful women all over the world. We all know this to be true, as does Mika. Would Mika be sitting next to Joe Scarborough is she looked like Candy Crowley?

So there is something wrong with us, not with what she said?

Ok she just stated her opinion, it's her opinion. She's entitled to it...regardless if you disagree.
