ago. You haven't been a regular viewer of Hardball?

He's the first, and only, one to call a guest birther on his show wacko & crazy. He called the guy out, as he held up Obama's birth certificate. "That's just crazy talk!" he said to the guy, as he held up the birth certificate. THAT'S what effectively ended the media's coverage of that crazy issue.

Tweety has always been this way. I have been pointing this out for a long time, when posters would post their incorrect messages about Tweety being a right winger or whatever. He simply doesn't have an overly partisan show. That's why he gets guests birthers and Republicans. Those people won't go on Big Ed or Maddow, but they'll go on Hardball. Or they used to. Not so sure about now.
