Rachel Maddow: Rand Paul Ran Away From Me To A Senate Win

» 31 comments

Who knew there was enough room on the MSNBC set for all these egos! Shortly after MSNBC called Kentucky for Rand Paul Keith Olbermann turned to Rachel Maddow and asked her about her now infamous interview with Paul following his primary win where he refused to confirm whether or not he agreed with the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

Maddow: He ran away from me, he ran away from his previous position on it. And then he later tried to blame the whole thing on me later.

Olbermann
: He was running for Senate! To go all Marcus Aurelius on you, who was supplying the surprise here.

Matthews: Let’s be Machiavellian. You played your right as a reporter….then he hid from the press…and he won tonight. So is that a message to the Tea Partiers…if you want to get elected run [from the press].

It would seems so! Watch below.

    That’s right, bitch!( term of endearment)

  • Moderate

    Tell the Liberal Media where to shove it and gain 10% with the Tea Party people, especially if that media person jokes about teabaggers.

    Ya she is a total bitch (term of endearment per Joy B)

    I’m so sick of hearing liberals complain about Republicans not going on left wing networks. The Democrats have been boycotting fox for a while now and none of these pundits seem to mid that.

    Can you guys be serious for a second? Do you think he ran away from the question? Didn’t answer it?

    If he can’t answer Rachel Maddow’s quetions, a television pundit, how can he solve real problems?

    Do tea baggers not see these as problems?

    This is what happens when the dumbest people have the loudest voices… reason is being blocked out, ignored even. No one is saying anything about how Rand Paul thinks you should be allowed to bar black people from restaurants… they just say how much liberals suck.

    I wonder if this is how the really crazy people came to power in Germany… ?

    The tea bagger chapter of the US history book will be interesting. I think it will be very short, I think Obama will actually be re-elected because of how bad the Tea Baggers mess up at their jobs XD

    Get ready for the government to become more inept than you ever imagined XD

    Turn on FOX and I see a panel of Karl Rove, Joe Trippi, Juan Williams, and Brit Hume – 2 conservatives, a moderate, and a liberal. Turn on MSNBC and I see Keith Olbermann, Rachel Maddow, Howard Fineman (good god), Ed Schultz, and Chris Matthews – a range from pretty liberal to really, really, really, really liberal. And people wonder why FOX kicks MSNBC’s ass all the time. LOL

    You know, you know on this network, on this network if you listen to this network, there’s a lot of debate on MSNBC about this health care bill. Left versus center-left, whatever. On FOX there’s absolutely no debate.”

    I agree, stop shouting!

  • mlong

    Madcow ego must really be shattered to find out she has no effect on how people vote now that Paul and Rubio both won and she made it her mission to defeat them plus there’s a good chance that Miller will win in Alaska too…so eat that Madcow.

  • Kird

    well look, one thing’s for sure: fox’s graphics are totally better than msnbc’s. I want to watch some of msnbc’s coverage, but it literally looks like a cure concert on my screen.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Jon-Martin/43100610 Jon Martin

    Ok so does anyone still want to defend Rand paul being afraid to answer a liberal’s questions?

    not really, but I will if anyone defends every single vote Alvin Greene got so far tonight (14, 000)

  • Patrick Henry

    Jon, why should he? No one who watches Maddow was going to vote for him anyway. Why put up with her smarminess?

  • sarainitaly

    i think Rand got more votes than Maddow has viewers…

    It speaks to the lack of credibility and lack of objectiveness Maddow has.

    Jon Martin said:

    Using the term “teabagger” shows your ignorance and you have something against the Tea Party Movement by using a pejorative to refer to it.

    Jon Martin said:

    What happened when the people’s voices got tired of being ignored by career politicians.

    Jon Martiny said:

    The above statement shows you didn’t bother to hear Paul’s explanation from a libertarian viewpoint. If ignorance is bliss, you must be one happy camper.

    Jon Martin said:

    Simple. The Germans wanted a nanny-state government.

    The chapter will come with a footnote detailing how Liberal/Progressive loons kept on referring Tea Partiers as Tea Baggers because they lacked the cognitive skills of civility.

    Barack Hussein Obama still has two more years left on his one and only term

    You watch FOX News and they have all these very smart, beautiful women on every day of the week. msnbc can’t find one woman that is appealing to men. Rachael should stop with all his sarcasm and grow up.

  • Caryson

    I watched only a few minutes of this pathetic coverage on MSNBC to see Michelle Bachman diss Mathews!

    When the ratings come out tomorrow they will have the lowest numbers. I guess having the MSNBC opinion schmucks like fat Ed, Mr. Maddow, Tingles, Larry Partisan O’Donnell and Obercow trying to be journalists might be their vision of “Leaning Forward.”

    If you watched Fox you would have noticed they didn’t have any of their opinion people like Beck or Hannity on.

    This was not appropriate for a news program.

    More importantly, these assholes where so depressed that the Dems were being routed that the coverage was like watching a funeral. When they did interviews with a Repub they went for the jugular with a Dem it was nothing but softballs. This network makes me puke!!!!

    Even Chuck Todd seemed uncomfortable.

    A story was released which showed that there are those in the Justice Department (the majority) who don’t think that civil rights legislation applies to whites, which is why they dropped the “New Black Panther voter intimidation case”. So now I’m curious if Rachael Maddow would have a problem with that interpretation? The Justice Department seriously fought for unequal protection under the law.

    …and he won big.

    Two people from the CBS affiliate in Alaska who conspired to undermine Miller have been fired. CBS affiliate finally took some action against those “corrupt bastards”. YAY.

    Avoiding an ankle biter like Maddow isn’t running away, it’s common sense.

    She didn’t want an interview, she wanted a gotcha and would have made sure she got one any way she could.

    Like I said – ankle biter.

    Rachel Maddow: Rand Paul Ran Away From Me To A Senate Win

    Kind of defines her relevance, doesn’t it?

  • LOGICandREASON

    I still can’t believe a network put all left wing opinion commentators as it’s team for a national election coverage, and these liberal hacks have the audacity to criticize Fox News.
