At 10 a.m. ET this morning, off and on for two hours, I'll be a guest on MSNBC's Melissa Harris-Perry program, where I'll be on panels discussing two-parent households and lack thereof, similarities between Gandhi and Martin Luther King, and proposals to expand pre-K education.

Harris-Perry wallows in identity politics; I'll probably pass. But it's good to see someone other than Fox asking libertarians for input.
RT has them on all the time.
RT does it to secretly mock them.
RT will put on anybody who will say something bad about the US culture or US government.
Sometimes dude you just gotta roll with it.

Are we so desperate to fight creeping government that we lock ourselves in to progresso-Marxist channels to be used as their "right" on right-wing bashing MSNBC analyst?
We're off to a good start. She's found something that she can disagree with Obama. Unfortunately it's something she's manufactured.
That is probably deliberate.
MHP is even more rage inducingly dishonest and convinced of the moral superiority of her positions than Mad Cow.
Good luck Matt.
War on drugs. She's found something else she can disagree with him on, even if she's refusing to overtly acknowledge his participation in the policies.
Okay, looking at this panel, sorry Matt. I'm out.
I can't watch it live, but I'm guessing that when the pre-K discussion starts, MHP and everyone else will eventually agree that expanding it is the common sense policy, as Matt calmly tries to explain how pointless it is and how greater results can be achieved by other reforms. While they concede a few things to Matt, they'll mostly shake their head and continue to talk about this investment being common sense.
Perry was a child of privilege and of parents of two different races. I beleive she identifies with the black side only, and seems to claim that she has been somehow shunned from society because of her race, even though she is a college professor who marries rich and has a tv show.
Something like that.
Anyone notice that MSNBC does not have many conservatives on its shows? I watch Ed Shultz and see he makes a far-left claim like republicans want to hurt the poor, then for more he has MHP or Joan Walsh parrot what he said with more detail. No counter point of view. I see this on Shultz, Maddow, O Donnel. On Alex Wagner's morning show, is it true that all 5 hosts are lefties -- that's what I got out of it the other day -- but I'm usually busy working at that time so don't get to watch it. Every now and then there is an exception, and this article is one of them.
I don't think you noticed the other man on all their panels, the one made of straw
Let me guess: Melissa Harris Perry's Racism Squad! finds our lack of faith in universal free government child care troubling racist.
Tear it up Matt. This will either be hilarious or completely awful.
Most here prefer the lies of Fox News.
Also, if you were a regular here you would know that there are several Moaning Joe viewers that post here.
You are definitely a sockpuppet.
