"demonstrating his contempt for America" (or something like that) Cenk could have just told him to fuck off and it would have been cool with me.  It's at the "why do you hate America?" point that you show you're just not interested in having a serious discussion.

As they say, respect is earned, and this guy didn't earn it.  At least not in this back and forth.

And you're right about the Morning Joe slot.  TYT would fit in perfectly there, but I'm sure the staff would hate it because it would almost be a return to the much-loathed, old school 3AM slot they had on Air America.
