"Journalist" ???

Halprin should be fired for being an absolutely terrible political analyst. He is almost literally wrong about every prediction he makes

Uh, this is a private employer action here, not government conduct curtailing speech.  Where my libertarians at?
 
I am entitled to get a tattoo across my forehead that says "F*CK WHAT YOU THINK" (Free Speech, man!) but my professional employer is also free not to tolerate that.   
 
You may agree with Halperin's opinion, dislike obama, and detest the actions of MSNBC/Time, but bandying about "free speech" just exposes your ignorance and furthers the stereotype that the right really has no clue how the constitution works.  And don't give me that "PC" garbage - I challenge you to cite a single example in out nation's history of radio/television where a major network tolerated a talking head/pundit/analyst/host calling the sitting president a "Dick."  I'll wait.
 
 

don't ever try to reason with libertarians.

keep it simple: the government is the devil. don't tread on me. cousin kissin' ain't cheatin'. etc.

Two liberal racists..Jon Stewart, Mark Halperin...I wonder if Mark's Amos and Andy is as good as Stewarts

halperin is a liberal? that must be good news for john mccain.

Mark Halperin made a mistake.  He told a truth that Obama is a "dick", however his comment was not politically correct.  It should have been Obama is a Weiner following the montra of all that the democratic party represents.  Weiner, the standard bearer of the Democratic Party, has raised the ethial and moral standards to at least gutter height.

Fake outrage. Maybe another Weiner story will get things rolling!

People shouldn't be allowed to exercise their Free Speech and call the President names.  No one EVER did that to Dubya.  

Which politcal commentator called Bush a dick or something comparable?

I didn't say political commentator, I said people (that's a noun that doesn't specify one's position or job).  Anyway, this is a non-story.

________________________________

And I specifically said political commentator because that is why it is a story albeit a small one.

Yeah, a small story about a political commentator who commentated on Obama.  

________________________________

Calling someone a "dick" is the kind of commentary I expect from Gothamist not from someone employed by Time and MSNBC.

Agreed, but he said what he said.  It's up to his employer(s) to discipline him, not the mass media or the public.

If you so badly want to dictate what it's up to the "mass media" to cover, start your own newspaper.

I don't want to dictate anything.  Where did you get that from?  Why do I even respond to the commenters on this site who infer/imply things that were never in my posts?  It's like talking to children... no, it's worse.  Children usually stick to exactly what was said.

the problem is that you consistently fail at the reading comprehension of your own damn comments.

The problem is that people, like yourself and others, consistently try to put words in my mouth.
