Breaking news: NBC's Tim Russert, host of Meet the Press, has died of a massive heart attack.

We mourn the loss of the man the Republicans called "the toughest interviewer on TV".

Sad day.

Great interviewer! Ironically this tragedy comes only a few weeks after that reminder from Terry McAuliffe that his father's still alive. My heart really goes out to his family.

Good riddance to another traitor.

Allegedly he turned down invitations to Bohemian Grove, or now he's Molech's buttmonkey forever.

Man was one of the last legitimate journalists at NBC. He did great work. Meet the Press was always a great source of fair and balanced interviews and I don't recall him ever shying away from tough questions.

Good man, I think he'll be missed this year.

Hell, he was one of the last legitimate journalists ANYWHERE. He had this way of asking the question, and when it wasn't answered, he'd keep asking, coming at it from different directions, until he got something for his troubles.

And he didn't let up on anyone because of their party affiliation.

PN: Your problem with him is that he TURNED DOWN invitations to The Grove? So you'd rather he'd have gone there? What a fookin' idjit...

Sad news indeed. He was so proud of his son, having just graduating B.C. this spring, it looked as if so much in his life and his career were drawing towards their zenith.

Thoughts and sympathies go out to Big' Russ and his family, friends and colleagues.

Lil' Russ left us far too soon. He will be missed, greatly.

Y'know, it's weird - when Russert's name would come up with my conservative friends, they'd all say how liberal they thought he was - but a tough and fair interviewer. They always just thought he was pretty liberal. And sure enough, he did cut his teeth working for Democratic lawmakers before he switched to journalism (he also had a law degree).

But when I talk to my liberal friends, they always remark on how conservative Russert seems - but also tough and fair.

I view that as a mark of high accomplishment. If people on either side of the political spectrum couldn't say for sure what his true political leanings were, he was doing his job very well indeed. And no matter who he was interviewing, you (and they) knew that he was going to ask tough questions.

It's going to be interesting to see who they use to try to fill his spot on Meet the Press. Note that I said "try" to fill his slot - he's irreplaceable, of course, but they'll need someone to keep the show going. I like Keith Olbermann and love Countdown, but he'd be utterly wrong for Meet the Press. He's definitely got a left-wing bias, and he's even biased about who on the left he supports (Obama over Hillary, for instance).

Dick Gregory, perhaps? Chris Matthews? Matthews tends to get knocked as being a "liberal", but he freely admits to having voted (at least once) for George W. Bush. I know he seems infatuated with Hillary, but maybe he's over it now...

Or do they go outside their network?

No matter who anchors, there won't ever be another Tim Russert. He was one of a kind, and will be much missed.

This is shocking. I've been watching him since I was about 13, and it was MTP that got me interested in paying attention to politics. Didn't always agree with his performance, but...damn.

I think Gregory or maybe Chuck Todd or Andrea Mitchell will fill his slot. Watch for good performances by whatever temp folks fill the seat over the next few weeks to get an idea. I like Olbermann, but I don't think it will be him.

Go Bills!

I thought Tim was the cream of the crop. His unique style, intelligence, and wit gave his show a special aura of importance and newsworthiness.

Russert was a 33rd Degree Mason and Shriner, so he's guaranteed an express elevator to Hell.

Here's Albert Pike, the Jewish pope of Freemasonry, and I bet Russ got a Masonic funeral in his "Christian" church, and is buried in a Masonic cemetary.

Quote:


http://www.srmason-sj.org/web/journal-files/Issues/Feb02/moss.htm

"The true name of Satan is, the Kallaists say, is that of Yahweh reversed; for Satan is not a black god, but the negation of God. The Devil is the personification of Atheism and Idoltry. For the Initiates, this is not a Person, but a Force, created for good; but which may serve for evil. It is the instrument for Liberty or Free Will. They represent this Force, which presides over the physical generation, under the mythological and horned form of the God Pan; hence came the he-goat of the Sabbat, brother of the Ancient Serpant, and the Light-Bearer, or Phosphor of which the poets have made the false Lucifer of the legend."
-General Albert Pike, "Morals and Dogma of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry", page 102
http://www.srmason-sj.org

"The Apocalypse is, to those who receive the 19th Degree, the Apotheosis of that Sublime Faith which aspires to God alone, and despises all the pomps and works of Lucifer. LUCIFER, the Light-bearer! Strange and mysterious name to give to the Spirit of Darkness! Lucifer, the Son of the Morning! Is it he who bears the Light, and with its splendors intolerable blinds feeble, sensual, or selfish Souls? Doubt it not!"
-General Albert Pike, "Morals and Dogma of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry", Masonic bible "Morals and Dogma", page 321

"There is in nature a one most potent force, by means whereof a single man, who could posses himself of it, and should know how to direct it, could revolutionize and change the face of the world. It is a universal agent, whose supreme law is equilibrium; and whereby, if science can but learn how to control it, it can be possible to change the order of the seasons, to produce in night the phenomenon of day, to send a thought in an instant around the world, to heal or slay at a distance, to give our words universal success, and made them reverberate everywhere. The Gnostics held that it was adorned in the secret rites of the Sabbat or the Temple, under the hieroglyphic figure of the Baphomet or the hermaphroditic goat of Mendes."
-General Albert Pike, "Morals and Dogma of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry", page 734

"All religions issued from the Kabalah and return to it: everything scientific and grand in the dreams of the illuminati is borrow from the Kabalah; all the Masonic associations owe to it their Secrets and Symbols. The Kabalah alone consecrates the allegiance of the Universal Reason and Devine Word. The Bible, with all the allegories it contains, expresses, in an incomplete and veiled manner only, the religious science of the Hebrews. Thus was a second Bible born, unknown to, or rather uncomprehended by, the Christians; a collection, they say, of monstrous absurdities; a monument, the adept says, wherein everything that the genius of philosophy and that of religion have ever formed or imagined of the sublime; a treasure surrounded by thorns; a diamond concelaed in a rough dark stone. One is filled with admiration, on penetrating into the Sancuary of the Kabalah, at seeing doctrine so logical, so simple, and at the same time so absolute. The Absolute Deity, with the Kabalists, has no name. The terms applied to Him are the Most Simple Light. For then there was no space or vacant place, but all was infinite Light."
-General Albert Pike, Jewish pope of Masonic Mafia, "Morals and Dogma of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry", page 744-5

Initiation rituals of Freemasonry:
"I will obey all signs and summons handed to me by a chapter of Masons. I will assist a Mason when I see him engaged in any difficulty whether he be right or wrong. I promise and swear to forever conceal and never reveal any of the secrets of Masons or Masonry under no less penalty than to have my throat cut across from ear to ear, my tongue plucked out by the roots; my heart taken from under my left breast; my body cut across, my bowels taken out; my body dissected into four equal parts to hang and remain a terror to all those who shall presume to violate the sacred obligation of a Mason."
-President John Quincy Adams, founder of Anti-Masonic Party, "Letters on Freemasonry"
http://texemars.com

"You must conceal all crimes of your brother Masons, and should you be summoned as a witness against a brother Mason be always sure to shield him. It may be perjury to do this, it is true, but you're keeping your obligations."
-Ronayne Handbook of Masonry, page 183

Isn't there any way to keep this go se from PN from being posted ? Seriously, what the hell sort of a-hole bad mouths a guy who just died ? Why must we endure our own little Fred Phelps/ Westboro Baptist nutcase zealot like PN ?? Tim Russert was a son, a husband and a father, as well as an icon in the political/ journalistic world that is Washington D.C. I wasn't a member of any Tim Russert fan club, but c'mon, isn't there ANY basic, common, human decency here ? I mean, from all accounts, even those who were political opponents of his said he was a hard working, fair and decent guy.

WTF is wrong w/ this prick PN, i don't know .... but shit like this has NO business being anywhere on the internet, and especially not on our Firefly boards!

Just scroll past his posts and pictures like most everyone else does. It's not like they're really hurting anything. Besides, the Internet is like the free market of ideas, and since he hasn't been banned by Haken, who owns the site, he has every right to be here and say whatever he wants.

Now, if he was threatening us with death or something, that would be different. But, he's just expressing a radical, inflammatory opinion.

Funny stuff, PirateJew.

I have to wonder though - since you're so convinced that everyone and their brother is a Jew, a Mason, and a Kaballist, haven't you figured out yet that somewhere in your dark, dank dungheap of a family tree hide a bunch of Jews, Masons, and Kaballists?

I mean, you pull all these tenuous connections out of your ass, but you expect us to believe that we couldn't do the same of you?

We're all just folk now...
