Wow, she is soooo insightful. A veritable sooth-sayer of what’s to come. It’s so refreshing to see MSNBC and Rachel are careful not to use the “fear” as they accuse others of.

I watched some of Maddow and once again was amazed at the lack of content. She finds some blogger who says something outrageous, and then devotes a huge segment to it. Wow, like we all couldn’t do this with two minutes of “research”.

Doesn’t she have a producer to giver her advice? Yet Maddow would rather spend an hour denouncing an obscure conservative in Ultima Thule who just belched on YouTube, than do anything substantive. Instead of finding stupid bloggers (which is truly like shooting fish in a barrel), maybe Rachel should think about the 10% of the population who can’t find jobs, the huge deficits, the sick economy, etc.

Won’t be surprised to see this sort of behavior getting ratched up soon. Hopefully nobody will get killed in the process. Great job by Maddow to highlight this.

What a hack.

Maddow plays the fear game. Again.

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

I do support opposition to Obama and his entire agenda for America but I do not condone any form of violence in order to accomplish some perceived “win”. There are kooks out there. Though MLK preached non-violence, there were literally thousands that resorted to violence in that cause. That didn’t lessen the cause or the high standard MLK brought to the dialogue. I remember as I lived through that time period. There were VIOLENT riots in the streets.

Radicals of any color are not representative of the American population. The Tea Party is not the source of the violence.

Rachel Maddow is a kook fringe agitator. That is what she does and that is what she wants to accomplish…to lure other kooks out of the shadows into committing violent acts so she can the say “See? I told you so!!”

Conservatives are not stupid. Certainly not stupid enough to take here shallow and all to clear intentions as legitimate.

What a wonderfully researched piece by Maddow presenting the details and facts on . . . on . . . uh, something that MIGHT happen?!

This is the kind of reporting you get from the local newscasts. “There is nothing to report here just yet, but we have talked to some people in the area and they are very concerned something might happen very soon. We are reporting live from the scene where nothing has taken place!”

I think you are right, M. The left is pretty scary. I hope nobody gets hurt.

Well, I’m sure since Maddow talked about this… she’ll condemn the ACTUAL violence directed towards Ann Coulter in Canada yesterday. I mean… when talking about politically-directed violence, that would be a perfect example of what Maddow means!

Except, of course, it’s the opposite of what she wants to say.

I guess that means she’ll either ignore it, or find a way to say that the protesters threatening violence were doing “the right thing.”

I wonder if Mediaite will post a story on it. Waiting…

Im Not Blue,
I’ve asked Mediaite to do a piece on Coulter also, but appearantly it’s not newsworthy when it happens to someone on the right.

Once again, Maddow does the, Only I know about this stuff, routine. She speaks as if those who watch are basically ignorant and only she can help them understand what is going on. Last nights, Hour of Fear, was without substance and another of her 3rd grade play time exercises. She is becoming a joke for the network.
Trying to be as bombastic as Olbermann.

What is telling is that whenever you see protests involving Leftists groups that turn violent the groups get their message dutifully reported in the press, not discounted. When protestors were hurling garbage cans into Seattle store fronts we had it explained they were outraged at international finances. European activists clash with police and we hear what their message is and why they are so worked up. And there really is no outrage at the hypocrisy when pacifists protest a war by rioting. Yesterday in Canada 2,000 students showed up with rocks and sticks to stop Anne Coulter from speaking. I have heard plenty on their views regarding hate-speech and the possibility of free-speech being restricted. I have heard Zero in the form of condemnation towards the violent upheaval and the cancellation of the speech for safety concerns.
But now we should stop listening to these tea-party members because they may get violent real soon.

Ummm. I’m kinda looking forward to dealing with that violence!

What anti-Government Protesters is she talking about? Didn’t the North win the civil war?

How is Rachael fear-mongering? She didn’t spend an hour talking about stuff that MIGHT happen — she spent an hour talking about stuff that DID happen! The bricks have already gone through the windows, the gas line already got cut, death threats were already issued against Stupak and Slaughter.

It’s not fear-mongering when you’re reporting on things that have already happened and suggest that there may be a pattern.

A few weeks back Maddow did extensive reports on Bart Stupak’s life because she was upset with his stance opposing the HCR over a couple of nights. This resulted in Stupak getting unundated with death threats at his office and his home — from people ON THE LEFT.

Where was Rachael’s outrage and concern last week about this? Where were the other members of the media declaring this a serious threat from Liberals? How come Maddow was not being called out for not standing up and imploring her supporters to refrain from violence, like Glenn Beck is now being lectured? We know why.
