Maddow Slams Tea Party Blogger Over Ridiculous Directions On How To Stay Safe In DC

As Glenn Beck’s “Restoring Honor” rally nears, preparations need to be made which is why a Tea Party blogger from Maine posted some directions on how to stay safe in our nation’s capital. With all due respect to him, they’re pretty much ridiculous (yeah, you sure don’t want to go by those scary National Archives!). Unsurprisingly, liberal bloggers and pretty much anyone who has ever stepped foot in Washington DC are having a field day with the post. Rachel Maddow, especially, was having a good time and could barely get through a segment on it without riotous laughter from herself, her guest, or her crew.

Here’s what the post said:

“Safety and Mores
Many parts of DC are safe beyond the areas I will list here, but why chance it if you don’t know where you are?
If you are on the subway stay on the Red line between Union Station and Shady Grove, Maryland. If you are on the Blue or Orange line do not go past Eastern Market (Capitol Hill) toward the Potomac Avenue stop and beyond; stay in NW DC and points in Virginia. Do not use the Green line or the Yellow line. These rules are even more important at night. There is of course nothing wrong with many other areas; but you don’t know where you are, so you should not explore them.
If on foot or in a cab or bus, stay in Bethesda, Arlington (preferably north Arlington), Crystal City, Falls Church, Annandale, or Alexandria, or in DC only in northwest DC west (i.e. larger street numbers) of 14th or 16th streets, or if on Capitol Hill only in SE Capitol Hill (zip 20003) between 1st and 8th Streets, not farther out than 8th (e.g. 9th, 10th etc). (Or stay on the Mall and at the various monuments.) Again there are many other lovely places, from the Catholic University of America to Silver Spring, Maryland. But you don’t know where you are so you cannot go, especially at night, unless you take me with you.”

For those that don’t know the area, the DCist has created a handy map to show where rally-goers will be allowed to wander following these directions. It’s not much.

On one hand, this is exactly the kind of thing Glenn Beck was talking about in his response to that 2006 Good Morning America earlier. However, on the other hand, you have to remember that making fun of tourists is the leading hobby of anyone who has ever lived somewhere worth touristing in.

We really can’t fault the blogger though. So, he overshot. Who cares? His intentions were good. He just didn’t want this to happen.

Watch the Rachel Maddow segment below:

Glenn Beck, Rachel Maddow, Restoring Honor Rally, Tea Party, Washington DC

I suggest Tea Party members limit themselves to where white liberals live (practically all whites in DC are liberals): Cleveland Park (Chris Matthews lives there, very expensive), Glover Park, Tenley Circle, Georgetown, Adams Morgan, Capital Hill near Eastern Market, DuPont Circle, Foggy Bottom and parts of U St. All of these neighborhoods, with the exception of certain parts of Capital Hill, are in Northwest DC. Downtown is OK but there was a huge fight in the Metro a few weeks ago near the Verizon Center (about 70-80 people involved).

Few whites live in Northeast or Southeast. Those who do moved there because housing is cheaper. I don’t recommend Arena Stage (it’s in a boring neighborhood in SW) but Studio Theatre is in a nice white gentrified neighborhood between Dupont Circle and Logan Circle. In fact, so many whites have moved there that a bougie Whole Foods supermarket has opened.

BTW, Eugene Robinson lives in Arlington, VA, not Washington, DC. He apparently feels safe there, so I think it is safe enough for the Tea Party.

PS: Ben’s Chile Bowl is vastly overrated, but for white liberals, it is their way of showing that they are down with blacks, so many of them make it an obligatory stop.

Way to go, Rachel! Take down those stupid teabaggers for not blindly rushing into a city they’ve never been in. After all, every inch of DC is safer than the backwoods hate ghettos that all these teabaggers come from, where every toddler has a rifle and every redneck impregnates his sister. Obviously, if they’re stupid enough not to take the Green or Yellow line, they’re subhuman morons. Every straight-thinking liberal knows that! If this scandal doesn’t prove those teabaggers are immoral racists, I don’t know what will.

Am I right, people? I mean, my God, the Green line! Oh how I’m laughing over that one…

I just watched this again and I laughed so hard that I nearly spilled my half-mocha latte all over my iPad! I mean, every educated person from San Fran to NYC knows all about the different subway lines and neighborhoods in DC. But these people aren’t educated. They don’t know the green line from the yellow!

Can’t we just execute these teabaggers and be done with them? I’ve always wanted a nice little cottage in the countryside, but these morons have their trailers planted on them. That land should be reserved for the smart people like me and Rachel!

Rachel Maddow’s ratings are in free fall. Apparently her audience still hasn’t forgiven for her trying to present the Iraq military involvement as a success story. After losing half of her audience in 2009, she just might lose another 50% in 2010.

Then again, she can always consider following the lead of Keith Olbermann, and ignore major stories in favor of reporting on Ted Nugent. Sure beats covering the economy if your a progressive pundit.
BatBoy

For you MSNBC watchers…have you ever seen a program without FOX new being brought up?

It is obvious that their entire staff has no business experience. In every Business College and University around the world they teach you to promote your product not your competitors.

So that MSNBC and Mediaite staff…

Your product would be MSNBC, the upcoming programing & your on-air talents.
Your Competitor would be FOX news or anything associated with them.

Perhaps I’m missing the sarcasm in this statement, but it seems to me right wingers can’t find much support in the Constitution for their ideology. The Constitution guarantees freedom of religion, and right wingers seem to think that only applies to THEIR religion. The Constitution provides that all men are created equal–except if they’re gay, black, latino, or women. The Constitution guarantees citizenship to anyone born on American soil. I hear the right wing isn’t too crazy about that these days, either.

I say they don’t make it pas the first amendment before they get offended.

Rach wouldn’t be caught riding any of those trains at night. Nobody was planning on doing anything at the Lincoln Memorial on that FAMOUS day. Where were all those people that were going to be there for that famous speech?
You see NOBODY paid attention to that date of the FAMOUS “I have a dream speech”. Eugene Robinson had no plans to hold a rally there did he? So why would anyone have shown up for that FAMOUS speech anniversary? Why would MLK’s granddaughter be there if Beck being there were an affront to MLK?

Maddow is a joke, if Beck wasn’t going to be there she wouldn’t know what day it was, it would have been a passing mention on the nightly news.

I could only make it about half way through her ridiculously snarky segment. I can’t believe she seriously wasted actual TV time to rip one guy, a blogger, for pointing out the dangerous areas in DC to most likely elderly tea partiers traveling to DC for the first time.

In DC, violent crime is still more than three times the national average of 454.5 reported offenses per 100,000 people in 2008: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_Washington,_D.C.

And it looks like he was using this map as a guide: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:DChomicides.jpg

Murder rates in DC are 5.75 times the National Average, and Washington Violent Crime Rates per Capital are higher then national rates for all crime: http://www.cityrating.com/citycrime.asp?city=Washington&state=DC

I love DC, and have been there a few times. But, one wrong turn and you can end up in some scary violent areas. Mock all she wants, but DC can be dangerous. And according to stats, the dangerous areas are the ones he mentioned. If those happen to be *african american* areas, that’s not really the fault of the blogger, is it?

The Professional Left just can’t seem to SMEAR the Tea-Partyer’s!

First they tried what they always try – PLAYING THE RACE CARD! That didn’t work!

Then, last night Maddow tried telling her dwindling audience that Democrats were actually ahead in many of this year’s races, and it was – don’t laugh too loud! – THE MEDIA that was misreporting the polls!
That didn”t work either!

Now she’s bashing tourist safety guides to DC. (Psst, Rach, that won’t work either!) LOL!!

Why am I not surprised that this article is on mediaite (an extension of MSNBC)?

I’m tickled pink you lefties enjoyed her snark. This is what MSNBC is, a network that doesn’t do news, doesn’t do facts, doesn’t do truth, but instead attacks, attacks, attacks.

Rachel takes on a no-name…..

Her jealousy of the common man knows no bounds; she is nothing but a liberal elitist that no one takes seriously. Just look at her ratings from her reportage from Iraq last week — no one watched because anyone with any sense knows Rachel is a joke.

It’s hard to say which part of the Bill of Rights the left wing hates the most. Freedom of speech? Well, just look at all the restrictions on speech implemented by leftist academics at colleges across the country. Freedom of religion? Seems that they only like religions that produce fanatics who fly planes into buildings — all the other faiths get trashed by them. Freedom to bear arms? They have been trying to take that away for decades. States rights? Same thing, constantly stepped on by the Left. Etc. etc. etc.

I could go on and on. So spare me, dear “progressives,” with your comments on how much you love the Constitution. It’s hard to say which part of the Constitution you hate the most, since you seem to despise so much of it. That’s why the tea party meetings read the Constitution aloud, while whenever you see someone burning an American flag it’s always a member of what the Democrat party calls its base.

Unlike Ms. Badcow, most people visiting DC aren’t chauffered around in limousines, and having lived in DC for a time, I can tell you that Superman would be afraid to go into some parts of our Capitol. (So much for the abilities of the local cops to deter crime!) So, Ms. Madcow’s reaction to an individual who is simply trying to keep some folks from being harmed is to lambast a good Samaritan. I’d say that kind of reaction is about on par with the rest of Ms. Madcow’s schtick.

Care to take me up on my offer? I thought not, if you do, you’re even more of a moron than I think.
yolktern2

The thing that is hilarious about this is that he was actually right about the green line. The yellow line he went a little overboard on but everyone who lives in DC knows that the green line is garbage. Even the famous Arlington Rap made fun of people not wanting to take the green line. If it weren’t such an issue, why is it even enshrined on Youtube? Majors was a little paranoid yes; but he should have said to basically avoid south east DC and that pretty much anything to the west of the Capital building is safe. Maddow is gross and whenever I watch her all I can think of are those shows for children where everything is done over the top so that the kids will laugh. She has nothing of substance to offer…ever.
