I will admit that I was completely wrong on this one. I didn’t think Maddow would make a meaningful apology.
MSNBC has proven over and over again that their research is shoddy and rarely admit that they were wrong. You can see why I was skeptical.

But your commercial says you are “borderline obsessive in your fact checking”. Or maybe that is the “disparate” facts you always refer to. LOL.

Actually her error was in trusting NWD.

“It was wrong of us to not check WorldNetDaily’s reporting, and I am very sorry.”

Dude – Even folks on the political right don’t trust WND. That was her first mistake. Why would a liberal go to a fringe site? Makes her look beyond silly.

I apologize for getting it wrong from my research on a wacky website, but you are a racist. Know to a commercial with a snarky look.  How is this being sorry?  She has zero class.

I’ve gone into more detail in comments to the InsideCableNews post and I generally try not to repeat themes across different blogs, but it should be noted here that though Donovan takes ultimate responsibility for his mistake (which the Maddow Show should have caught), he does spend a lot, if not most of his portion of the apology trying to blame Mediaite.

(He saw a post, assumed it was current and didn’t check the date)

As I’ve said over at Spud’s place, the best I can determine is that Donovan saw a link in the Outbrain box (“You might also like:” – right above the comments) and he’s apparently unfamiliar with the product because he didn’t realize that none of those links are ever the same day and they’re keyword-based. If dates are even a factor in the product, it’s obviously secondary to the keyword.

Should say now to a commercial, instead of know.  I apologize.  If I were Maddow, I would call you a racist for even pointing it out in the first place.  Now a snarky look and my commercial.

So instead of taking the blame, she passed the buck onto others.  Sounds like a certain downgraded president that I know of.

You do know you can just push the edit button and fix it, right?

No, she said she was wrong for not checking her source and she was. 

She has zero class, and what about Limbaugh calling Obama a “tar baby”.  Blatant racism is alright with you, you piece of skunk turd.  

All of you attacking Maddow are jealous because your are no where as bright as she is.   You are dumb enough to listen to Limbaugh.  How pathetic!  No one with any decency or intelligence listens to Limbaugh.  He show is radio for frustrated and resentful losers in life.

She just played more clips out of context while she sat there with that embarrassed grin! Amazing.

Did that sound apologetic to you!? All she said was, I made a teeny mistake, tee hee giggle giggle. The race baiting liar!

 lol, I don’t like Limbaugh for the same reason I hate Maddow. I don’t even listen to Limbaugh. You are just dumb enough to assume it. Rarely invite guests who don’t agree with them. Skunkturd?
You ever see Maddow debate? John Stewart who is not too bright had her cringing. You give her to much credit. She only goes on friendly outlets just like Limbaugh to debate. I watch her for entertainment. She has no clue what is going on outside her bubble world. You really think she can relate to the average person? Get real. Having degrees does not translate to automatic intelligence. Sometimes it puts you more out of touch with reality.Has she ever run a business? Or created one job? I like to listen to her economic solutions. Hilarious

She’s a book, you can judge by the cover.
that is…ugly on the outside, same for the inside.

At least Maddow has higher standards and admits that information she cited was wrong.   Rush can only call the president names and make up stuff with absolutely no credibility.  

“It was wrong of us to not check WorldNetDaily’s reporting, and I am very sorry.”

Along with not being able to take yes for an answer, it seems the GOTP just can’t take I’m sorry for an apology either.

98% of what Limbaugh says are lies and filthy slanders. It would take him the next 10 years to apologize for all of them.

good go—-wwwhappyshopping100com

Sounds like you need to look at some nice eye candy from FOX as they tell you sweet little lies.  

Fact: He did apologize. Maddow the dude said sorry for the lies about Rush!

Fact: That dude Maddow was right for apologizing.

Rachel Maddow blaming WND for HER mistake is pathetic. 

An apology that includes a caveat and a swipe at your opposition isnt much of an apology at all.

Fact: Dredging for the story at Madiaite? Maddow and
crew are bottom feeders 4 sure.

Fact: You win the great race card play of the day!

Fact: Edit doesn’t always work for me it sometimes just gets hung up and I have waited over 5 min for it to take without luck. Then I move on and let the spelling team rip on it.

I agree Rush would have to spend at least 10+ years apologizing for all his lies. 

Fact: Apology accepted but the fact remains the same she is an idiot!

The question?  When is Mr. Oxycontin going to apologize for all his lies?   

If Mr. Maddow spent less time looking like one of the Three Stooges and more time doing research about his Marxist-filled rants, he might not have to apologize five times a week about the tremendous lies he tells.

“At least Maddow has higher standards…”

HAHAHAHAHAHA!

Now THAT is funny!

“Sounds like you need to look at some nice eye candy from FOX…”

Yep. On Fox News, they have women on their shows who look like women, as opposed to Mr. Maddow, who looks every day like one of the Three Stooges after taking 10 hits of Viagra.

But then again almost everybody has higher standard than Rush.  

I’m not sure that I’m understanding your comment.

Based upon the explanatory audio embedded on InsideCableNews, a (self-described) right-leaning blogger named Timothy Donovan, who likes and reads Mediaite was missing bits from his recording of the August 3rd edition of Rush Limbaugh’s program. When he saw the clip Frances posted last year, he thought it was some of the missing audio, so he scraped it from this site and posted it to YouTube for embedding onto his blog. 

Based upon the above clip from The Rachel Maddow Show, WorldNetDaily saw it on YouTube or it was submitted, then they linked the audio from their site thinking it was new, as did the blogger and someone from the Maddow show.

I feel bad for you that need Viagra, but then again you can tell everyone that you got something in common with the Drugster.  

I thought she had a commercial where she said she “looked into facts with an almost obsession”?

And you stayed up all night long just to make stupid comments like
that on a Comment board!
You are being laughed at, Numbnuts.

I am sorry means I am sorry. She apologized for not fact checking. Fox news reports lies straight faced! Remember terrorist fist bump! Death Panels! Shiria law taking over US courts! Republicans never apologize they are only sorry for the people who were offended. I hate that line!
Also get over the gay jokes on RM. She’s gay, we know it, she knows it, everyone knows it. Its just not a funny joke to keep it going in discussions as though it makes a point.

So people like you can even make stupider comments while using creative names. 

“It was wrong of us to not check WorldNetDaily’s reporting, and I am very sorry.”She gets a dig in there at WND, but they did the same thing she did. They saw the clip posted by Donovan, and did a post on it. She should have done a little fact checking, as should have WND. He just flubbed the year when looking for Rush clips, and somehow it makes it on air on MSNBC… 

Perhaps Racheland her friends and colleagues at MSNBC should be a little more careful when putting their shows together.  That way she would not have to issue apologies after the fact.  Furthermore, this isn’t much of an apology imho, pointing the finger of blame elsewhere is kind of what Obama does each and every day, so maybe that is why Rachel felt that was a satisfactory way to go.  Who knows.

Limbaugh never called Obama a “tar baby”. You now need to apologize.
Maddow is also not smart enough to know that Rush was ALWAYS making fun of the birthers.

Maddcow got his facts wrong – again.  Happens every night.  Fortunately for him, he always has an excuse.

Apparently Madcow’s research department is comprised of two high school kids working part time prowling the internet for stories for him.

Shouldn’t have been too hard to check this out. All she would have had to do is watch that psychotic lunatic Chris Matthews who is on  before her (TWICE). Chris Matthews would have been apoplectic if someone dared even mention Obama and birth in the same sentence and would have run out and taped another commecial for Obama. Some think Maddow is intelligent, funny and knowledgable..in other words a liberal elite know it all wiseass.

Dis bitch must’ve been high on kunt juice.  Muthafuckin mSnbc.  crackas. 

Dis bitch must’ve been high on kunt juice.  Muthafuckin mSnbc.  crackas. 

“All of you attacking Maddow are jealous because your are NO WHERE as bright as she is.”

Look up the word ironic in the dictionary.

Right after Obama start apologizing for all of his lies (even the lie about his own mother!!), and all the other libs start apoligizing for all their lies about Bush.

Rush needs to sue the pants off this guy & GE/ObamaVision, just like that other guy he lied about.

Maddow’s show is a joke.  She was trying to do a Jon Stewart impersonation and it blew up in her face.
That whole network is a friggin’ joke.   How many times now has one of their hosts been caught telling easily disproved lies or has had to apologize on air….?  It seems like all of time now.  That is of course when they are not busy getting fired or suspended.
The real funny part is Rachel Maddow referring to other people as dead enders.  When Obama is thrown out of office and the Senate goes red Rachel will be holed up in a bunker with a bottle of vodka and chewing off her finger nails.

I think this story just pointed out another lie from this man.

God are you ignorant!

No one trusts WND. That is the equivalent of trusting Daily Kos on the left. Her problem seems to be she is far too excited about the story to take five minutes to validate it. When you have a segment on your show devoted to nothing more than correcting errors you’ve made, you may want to re-assess your “fact checking”.

That still shot on the video is classic (and Freudian).

how high…. AA+  :-) same like the Resident in chief :-) 

it’s Sharia law, not Shiria law, silly…

AND, who but the left say the birther issue has been laid to rest with the release of the forged BC in April?  The best is yet to come!!!

are you taking about the two silly lib interns who defend her tirelessly on this thread :-)..instead of fact-checking maddow’s rants, they kill time on this forum. :-)..hmmmm…

how old are you? you sound like…10…am I right?

I agree she will be holed up but not sure bunker is where we will find her.

Yeah but Rush doesn’t like women he likes little boys from the Dominican Republic and Elliot Sanders.

http://pittsburgh.indymedia.org/news/2003/10/9656.php

The difference is Maddow makes a retraction when her team commits a research error, where the wingnut media just makes up more lies when they’re found out.

It’s a difference in style . . . and ethics.

Just in case there was any question why you and your fellow cockroaches earn such contempt . . .

Kinda like Bill Maher, right?

Says a white-trash liberal from his sewer.

What higher standards does Maddow have with this story? She rushed to get it out because she thought it would trash a person. She did a story with a preconceived idea and didn’t give a crap about getting facts right before putting the story out. Thats about the lowest standard a “reporter” can get. But you liberals don’t care about getting facts correct its all about trashing the other person. Facts be damned.

So many Rachel Maddow haters, does fox and clear channel pay for these comments to be posted.

Who the hell uses the term SKUNKTURD and then makes a statement about someone else’s intellect?

Rachel Maddow has always struck me as a class act, and this reinforces that.  She’s far Left, but seems to keep her integrity intact.

Poor Rachel Maddow, she wants to run stories attacking birthers, but she can’t find any.  Boo, hoo, hoo.  

What happens now?   Maybe she will be forced to cover the 31 Americans killed in Afghanistan — the worst day in the decade-long history of the conflict.  Or the once-in-a-lifetime downgrade of US debt from triple A status.  Or the looming default of the US postal service.  Or the total inability of the Obama administration to improve the dismal jobs outlook for the nation.

Nah, don’t count on it.  Rachel Maddow doesn’t cover real stories.  She just does smears and hit pieces — even if she needs to make up stuff, as in the current situation. 

So she passed the blame onto a lesser news source, and then played a number of other objectionable clips to justify that ultimately she is correct. Qualifying the apology basically renders it null.

I just read that Russia issued a new postage stamp commemorating Obama’s 50th birthday. In the U.S., we did likewise: It’s called the Food Stamp.

Typical libtarded BS spreading lies about someone rather than base it on facts when did he call him a tar baby? Someone saying he said it on puffington post does not make it fact lets hear the whole sound clip.Can’t do it can you so get a life you colstruttin turkey.Also Maddows a complete Moran.

I may be a construction worker with only a hs diploma but shouldnt she also be aploigizing to WND for failing to credit them for the original story, In my business serious accidental injuries result from such behavior, but I know Ill just shut up and keep providing shelter for the LEECHES of America.

            one more thing, again I is jus a workin man but I dont think that Brer (?sic) was making a racial comment referring to Tar babies.  Does the media think we are all so stupid or does someone have a job offer for a Genius like me?

Google the words “Maddow lies” and take your pick.  She gets caught telling lies almost once a week.

Google the words “Maddow lies” and take your pick.  She gets caught telling lies almost once a week.

I listened to the clip yesterday and it seemed clear to me that she knew the excerpt from Rush’s radio show was from 2010. She asked someone off-camera, “are you sure it’s not from last year?”, but in a way that would give her deniability, as if she did not already know when it had first aired.

Additionally, since Maddow is apparently a big critic of Rush — or so I’ve heard — then she knows that he was never a ‘birther’.  He made fun of the birthers about as often as he made fun of those who criticized the birthers.  So what was the point of playing a clip by Rush, no matter what date it was from?

Just look at this article, which leaves out the most relevant fact — namely that Maddow attacked Limbaugh as part of a segment to prove that conservatives are still birthers long after Obama presented his long-form birth certificate.   If you don’t tell readers this fact, they will simply scratch their head wondering what is so wrong with presenting a year-old audio clip.  

Then again, this is the same site that didn’t think it was newsworthy when it became known that MSNBC’s parent company received $16 billion in secret cash payments from the federal government.  So I guess we have all gotten used to Mediaite’s strange selective reporting about MSNBC.

No. We do it for free. Personally I can’t stand the guy.

Good spin, but she LIED!  And she got caught.

Where were the “racially-tinged” comments by Limbaugh? Just because he said, “Barack the magic Negro?” I would bet that maybe just a handful of people on here even know where that originally came from and that does NOT include Rachael Madcow. Even if she did she would never inform her viewers.  All she did was play tiny clips of things Limbaugh said. Every one of them can be taken out of context if you don’t have the preceeding and following segments.

It’s not hard to see who the liars are here, even with Mediaites “reporting”. The difference between Madow and her audience is that the audience believes what she is “reporting”, Maddow knows better. Ms. Rhodes Scholar please use your talent for good instead of evil. The dark side strikes again. :(

Unfortunately, I could not make the same claim about Fox, not because they do “shoddy” research but because they do NO recsearch whatsoever. 

Honest to christ, are you so stupid you don’t know the difference between an honest mistake and a lie?  Just forgety it, I’ve read your comments so that is in fact a rhetorical question.

For some reason Mediaite, a blog that comments on the media, isn’t reporting that the Washington Post’s profits dropped by 50% in the second quarter.

I’d say that’s pretty big news concerning the media, wouldn’t you?

Just shut up, it’s obvious you’ve never watched her with an objective eye because you’re blinded by your own idiotic idology. 

Yeah, it’s not up to those sterling Fox News standards that politifact has to constantly call out for its fragrant disregard for the truth.

…flagrant disregard… (although it does stink, too)

Hateful and incredibly ignorant, you’re one classy guy and very typical of the Fox/lemming breed.

Anyone who defends Fox’s shoddy faux journalism has absolutely ZERO right to slam the fact-checking errors of another news channel. Fox is repeatedly called out for their willful disregard for the truth by independent sites like politifact — errors that never even get acknowledged.

So unless you’re willing to apply the same standards to Fox, we’ll expect you to keep your mouth shut about this error — which Maddow gracefully apologized for.

You shouldn’t take the almighty fathers name in vain.  That being said, since you clearly don’t know the difference between a “lie” and an honest mistake, you are the ignorant one. You shall hence be known as the Resident_Idiot!

If you think that’s funny, get yourself checked, you’re obviously ill, mentally that is.

lol I wasn’t aware of that.  Thanks for the facts, brother.

Congratulations to you and your ilk, Rush got his wish, you should be so happy.

Seriously, get some help, whatever you think is happening or has happened, it’s all in your mind.

Strangely enough, that’s the same way we went to war in Iraq.

Yes, I do.  Based on her past performance, she knew exactly what she was doing. But based on your past comments, I’m sure you believe everything that comes out of her mouth. 

It appears to me that she built the “still birthers” narrative around the mistaken clip, not the other way around. 

Right, her interns are”killing time” here, you’re spending your life here commenting about a woman who’s apologized and you’re just too stupid to accept it.

Listen jizsack, go back to the PORN site you came from and leave the commenting to people with brains.

Why are you libs always seething with rage?

rachel MadCOW is one of the top floaters in the toilet known as the M(ore)S(ocialism)from N(itwit)B(iased-socialist)C(lowns) network. Her viewers (BOTH of them) EXPECT her to lie, misrepresent, propagandize socialism, slime conservatives and generally act like a repulsive twit without ethics, morals, honesty or integrity.

…and she NEVER disappoints either one of them.

CUz they is muthafuckin Krazy!  With a capital K.  Muthafuckin communist crackas!  Fuck you Tedderman, sissy librul faggot! 

No, he’s right. Obama is the Liar in Chief. 

They don’t care that Barack the Magic Negro came from a black Liberal.  It doesn’t fit their template.

Yeah. Let’s not talk about how stupid you birfhers are.

That’s OK, Rachel. Maybe you can do a story about “shovel-ready jobs” and/or the “blue dress” to help make up for it.

I rarely tune into her show, but on XM I heard her discussing the S&P downgrade yesterday, at length. 

You really are obsessed with MSNBC today, felix. Suffice it to say that the network caters to progressives, as FOX caters to conservatives. You seem more outraged by Maddow correcting an error, than the the fact that so many conservatives still buy the birther conspiracy. I can’t remember, were you on that train, too?

You really believe that story,LOL..I bet you believe in Santa Claus and the Easter bunny to.

I wonder when Limpballs is going to apologize for every lie he’s ever told? No, he’s a DittoNazi, meaning he has as much courage as he does human value.

She doesn’t need to apologize in any case. Limpballs needs to apologize for being a waste of space.

No, Fascist News is ALWAYS correct… LOL

I love the hypocrites of the right, they must love being PLAYED. :)

Oh, go back to the kitchen,toots…be the good little conservative doormat.

No wonder conservative men  think their women are nothing. Pat, pat…there, there, feminazi (that is what your husbands, fathers and sons love calling women, isn’t it?)…..now leave the thinking to the menfolk.

Limbaugh is just a fat, hideous, disgraceful excuse for a human being. A failed, rotten Reaganazi at it’s finest. :)

She’s a woman, con, maybe if you were raised by an intelligent, decent one you may be able to tell the difference.

What’s the matter, dittoboy, smart women BOTHER you too much? Typical.

More so than yours, sweetie.

Before Al Gore invented the internet comments like Maddow’s would go unchallenged. Thanks Al.

FLAGGED!

FLAGGED!

Some people just can’t see beyond their homophobia, slaves only to their imaginings of what other people do in their bedrooms.  It’s a perversion, really.

Rush wouldn’t be able to give you a fact if he fell over one.  

Maybe you are looking in the wrong place. Check further, then get back to me.

It is still wrong to use it.
I know it’s crazy that blacks can use it among themselves, and I’m not big on PC in general, but there is a limit.

Some slips like a white guy using a tar baby analysis and another saying “your boy” are totally unintentional. Magic Negro is not.

Check your sources. Then check them again. That is a rule we all should live by.

We could always use the highest “The Most Trusted Name in News” standards of CNN where we have the world’s worst dictator “cleanse” all CNN news coming out of his country for TWELVE years! CNN did that after the first Gulf War with Saddam Hussein and finally admitted it after the US military took out Saddam.
Then we could use the high standards of CBS News and their Rathergate. Or NBC with their exploding Pinto cars.

 OR I could stick with Fox News who give me 13 Conservative commentators AND 13 Leftist commentators. Fox News also puts on the screen during their HARD news shows (which is DIFFERENT from their prime time news analysis shows…something Fox admits up front) the word COMMENTARY when someone is doing, well commentary. I NEVER see that on CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, nor MSNBC.

We can only hope.

ZING!

Would you have flagged him if he was a liberal? Just asking.

Wow, huh?

Better yet Google Santorum.

Better yet Google Santorum.

Exactly the type of topical discussion she usually has but unfortunately in order to satiate those of us on the left side of the idology, she occasionally stoops to Limbaugh bashing.  Which I  personally enjoy greatly.

Yes.

And 45,000,000 Americans recieve them, how wonderful,right?  Do you have any jokes about the disabled, I’m sure those would be hilarious too.

I think she is well spooken, hot and smart. and seems to have a good sense of humor. But can she Mud wrestle with an old Fox like Alan Greenspan,  who was smart enough to kick his dog down the road long before the choo-choo was  heading down the tracks.There is a rat in that crowd and me thinks it`s naive old Allan G. doing his best impression of Rupert Murdoch

.What ever happened to the Rush Limbau oxy-cotton scandal in Palm Beach ? Go to go and Tweet the  Newt, He gets lonely….you know..

You’ll never see that happen on Fixed Noise. That’s for sure.

If you’re out of work now, I doubt it.  But you should check out the white supremacists’ wesites, they may have something for you.

Look, felix either does this or it’s sitting around all day masturbating to Rambo on his VCR.

You mean lie to their viewers?  

You mean you wasted your time to reply in such a juvenile manner?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yl3UMO-TkE

Now, now…..she couldn’t let him off THAT easy – she HAD to say something to prove that there was no singing of “kumbaya.”  However,  I do give her points for the public apology.

Can you imagine the nuclear stir if the situation was reversed…and Limbaugh (or even FOX) didn’t “fact check” prior to broadcast? 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yl3UMO-TkE

Cuz you make us mad.

Rush Limbaugh has a mean spirit. I’m ashamed to be from the same state as he. He has done nothing but try to divide our country with his lies and yes he even made comments about President Obama not being borned in the United States. He had a bad drug problem that seemed to just disappear but shows no mercy to anyone else including the mean way he talked about Michael J, Fox. The man is a fat slob that needs to get a life and leave other people alone. He doesn’t report news, he spits his venom to try and ruin lives.

I can’t wait to see God sort some of these souls out. WOW.. That includes mine as well. But, based on the comments of the defenders of evil doers. I might have a 1% edge of finding a little more favor with God. As for Rachel, she apologized for her mistake, when the last time you apologized for yours ??

I’d like an apology for how utterly uninteresting and boring that show has become.

Look, goofus, the case has already been made. You’re just gilding the lily (or alternatively, slathering on another layer of shit).

Do you seriously believe postings like jzaik’s are acceptable?

Well, that would be a lie. There goes your credibility. Next!

Maddow apologizes just like David Letterman.  She turns her disgusting behavior into something “funny” or “insignificant” then focuses more time on changing the subject.
I nicknamed her “snake”.

Maddow a disingenuous fraud? I’m shocked! Please say it aint so Joe.

You could not make the same claim about FOX because it is obvious you do not watch it. 

By which you mean, “I don’t agree with her.”

I think we all broke the code some time ago.

I nicknamed you “clodpole.” Just ‘cuz.

And because “thick as a brick” was already taken.

“Lying” and “mistake” are not synonymous.

But don’t worry, no one at Fox can make the distinction either, so you’re simpatico with your bretheren.

Exactly. Some intern has just seen their chance of a career in broadcasting narrow considerably.

So how’s that PR job for the Tea Party working out for you? Winning adherents right and left are we?

It must be because of your charm, command of the facts, depth of analysis, and general gravitas.

Meanwhile, back in reality, you’ve proved how stupid, juvenile, and useless you are.

If by “armed” you mean “armed with wit,” I have to disagree.

It was alluded to in a national newspaper as something that sociologists used to describe (unprofessionally, IMO) a particular cultural theme. The fact that it passed the lips of a black liberal is no more significant than that it passed Limbaugh’s lips . . . except for the context in which he said it, which was unquestionably “racially tinged.” How could it not be?

Myself, I don’t think Limbaugh is a classic racist. I think he’s a classic misanthrope who dislikes some people *less* than he likes others, but is basically sociopathic across the entire spectrum.

First paragraph:  “. . . going through a list of people bringing up the birth certificate controversy even after it was put to rest when the long-form version was released earlier this year.”

Reading is FUNdamental! 

I regularly write construction safety content (which kind of makes me an expert), and I can assure you that a media commentator’s decision not to mention WND is not related to jobsite safety.

Just so I can be sure your quirky beliefs don’t actually put my life in danger, would you mind identifying the location (country will do) where you work?

Yes, we understand how uncomfortable intelligence, humor, and knowledge make those who have none.

But take heart: you can’t do much about intelligence and you’re pretty much either funny or you’re not — but knowledge is there for anyone to take. There’s hope for you yet!

Rachel Maddow is doing a Stewart impersonation, right down to the haircut.

Marymary is a 54-year-old woman? That’s just sad.

You and I and Maddow all seem to agree. Her show should fact-check everything and their process broke down this time.

I cherish these rare moements of agreement.

You are under the impression that they do?

Actually, Shiria law is exactly as dangerous to America as Sharia law, so I give the poster a pass.

Except that Maher is much funnier.

When your shows content is nothing but borrowed content from far left blogs, these things will happen. I really fell bad for MSNBC because they are sooo invested in Obama’s presidency and to see it implode before their eyes must very unpleasant for these loons!

I agree, except I think he is a classic racist.

Michelle knows that.  She just likes to rub her racism in our faces.

There’s a recurrent theme from the righty posts around here:

• Imagine some unpleasant situation for someone else
• Pretend it’s real
• Then take great pleasure that such a thing should befall the object of your misplaced schadenfreude.

It’s really quite odd, and shows up all the time.

It’s not classical projection (as I understand the term), and it’s more complicated than ignorance mixed with childishness (although we see plenty of that around here), but some other, sickly mixture of hope and fear and sadism all mixed together.

Why is this such a common feature of the wingnut mindset, and is it related the the tendency to become detached from reality?

By which you mean ” I don’t agree with them at all” ?
Don’t worry, we all broke that code too!!

Take a course in logic and then watch her show. It is designed to fool the uninformed and the dim witted.

She is unimportant.  Well spoken and articulate but askew.  Stay off the carpet.

Maddow is entitled to her opinions, but she is not a journalist by any stretch of the imagination. She likes to hold herself out as someone obsessed with facts and discovering “what is true in the world” but when it boils down to it she is every bit the ideologue as ed schultz, hannity, beck, etc. are. Her opinions are pre-baked and she finds the “facts” that simply support her point of view.

She is unimportant. Well spoken and articulate but askew. Stay off the carpet

Classy comment! I get that you personally don’t like him and his opinions but the level of hatred and intolerance that you are projecting is as bad as that which he spews or that of others who attack Maddow for her sexual orientation rather than her shoddy “journalism”.

This what is known as “psycho-babble”. You imagine that those who disagree with you politically must be twisted, evil people who are detached from reality. while some may be, this is not a condition that is confined strictly to republicans or those with a right of centre pov.

Your posting says a lot more about you than anyone else.

maybe josh feldman should apologize for using a completely misleading headline as the whole segment was a hilariously sarcastic way of pointing out that, even a year later, limbaugh and the conservative/racist party are still race baiting on obama because they have nothing to run on.

well, besides destroying america’s credit rating and ruining markets around the world.

It was sarcastic non-apology but hardly hilarious.

She basically says she got this niggling little technicality wrong (the timing of the Limbaugh comments) but that in substance her remarks were accurate.

The problem with this is that the factual mistake completely undermined her original thesis that he was one of a number of conservative commentators/politicos who refused to acknowledge the president’s citizenship even after he had released the long-form certificate that the birthers had been clamouring for.

The suggestion or implication is that Limbaugh was still refusing to accept the legitimacy of the president in the wake of the release of the conclusive documentary evidence. In other words, she was suggesting that he was in denial about this established fact as a way of characterizing him as detached from reality

Now, I don’t like Limbaugh one bit. but Maddow’s little slight of hand and her snarky attempt to deal with it are intellectually dishonest.

“Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot”  -  Al Franken.  Buy the book, rent the tape, do something.  If you want to learn about “fact checking”.

My post was sarcastic, and you’re quite right it says more about me than anyone else. It says that not all of my jokes work and I need to go back to the drawing board on this one.

Of course, like all comedy (successful or not) it contains a grain of truth. Or in this case, a couple of bushel baskets.

Unlike the Fox audience, the “most uninformed in America.” Just keep makin’ that shit up and you’ll successfully convince those who are already convinced.

The rest of us will continue to make up our own minds.

Sadly, the inability to make distinctions is common. On Mediaite, VERY common.

Not the first time either. This is related to Palin.

Strike 3?

Rachel Maddow says…forget about the facts and how I got them wrong because I’m still right…LOL typical leftist thinking.

She makes my skin crawl.

LOL, the only reason Maddow could get coverage is by lying about Rush Limbaugh and then apologizing. 

At this point I would not trust her to be able to spell the “Rhodes” in Rhodes Scholar (she probably thinks the award was created by Randi). “World Nut Daily fooled me with their bad research?” What an eminent professional
