I can’t see how anyone can sit and watch Maddow’s angry rants for one hour. I do hope she is not a gun owner.

She makes others want to be gun owners.

Rachel Maddow will be a goner by July 1st.! “When will they ever learn?”

If Ted Turner were still in charge of CNN instead of Time Warner — which acquired Turner Broadcasting in 1996 — Wolf Blitzer would surely have been FIRED for this.

Ya’ gotta understand the Liberals’ handicap, 2012. Their brains tell them that anything OTHER than anti-American Leftist extremism is somehow, illegitimate, or a “scam.” They think this in the face of having exactly ZERO examples of success in Liberal policy, indeed, the very policies that have increase the deficit from 2.5 Billion when DemoCrits took over Congress in ’06 to over 1.5 Trillion today.

When you think about it, what else can a Liberal do? They don’t care about their damage to America, just in yelling “Yea, Team!”

Denial must be a very happy place!

Miss M. is a sweet young lady . As am I .

RRKING pewside . Most are amazed at what a sweet natured chap I am , particularly after they meet the brutish Armando . My fans have wondered ” Bobbi , were you always such a pious and holy man ? ” . No . My transformation occurred back in 1950 . I stumbled into a church one Saturday night in El Segundo , hungry , tired and broke and immediately passed out on one of the benches . When awakened , I was in the middle of some sort of ritual ! A basket of money was passed my way and I shyly took a few bills , gratefully . Quelle est cette ? I wandered to another room to count my loot and found a row of kids ‘ lunchboxes on a table in the back . The children were busy singing , so I opened a few of the lunches and jammed the food into my handbag . This was heaven ! I have returned each Sunday since ! ©

Of course Rachel is right and Fox News agrees with her which is why they didn’t air Bachmann’s live rebuttal.

But yeah, Rachel’s show sucks. She is getting worse than Beck with her long-winded rants.
Both shows are only for the most rabidly blind partisans.

BTW, even Tea Party leaders were angry that Michelle tried to assume the mantle of their leader and spokesman.

It’s kinda funny to see teabloggers defend CNN though.
Idiocy makes strange bedfellows.

As Sarah would say: WTF! Mad Michelle sure sucked the wind out of Paul Ryan, didn’t she?

I have to say I disagree with Ms. Maddow. Nothing is better for America than having Sarah and Mad Michelle on the television continuously until the 2012 elections. Of course, I suspect that means Basil Marceaux, I mean Gordon Blower would be spent and near collapse by next Tuesday is that happens, but it is only collateral damage.

Poor RM – she is so scared of the Tea Party.

Good!

While I have enjoyed her appearances on MTP, giving Gregory the spine he’s missing, her show is so dreadfully boring and so whiny, I can’t bear it. It’s like listening to Michelle-in-Utah for an hour, non-stop. No man can stand it.

Let’s be honest here…if Fox News didn’t air the tea party rebuttal live, and they are the biggest supporters of the tea party, then it just wasn’t an appropriate thing to do.

Even they knew what a bone-headed move it would be.

Many Americans view radical [activist] Maddow and her ilk, with the exact same contempt she shows for the Tea Party. As a matter of fact, not only does the Christian religion view her lifestyle as ungodly, but Islam and hundreds of other religions, also reject her lifestyle. If Maddow respected other opinions, especially opposing views, she wouldn’t be such an angry, vindictive, bitter, person. While Maddow mocks other peoples’ views, 80% of Americans, in turn, mock her. How miserable she must be, to constantly spew venom on the air. Let and let live, Dude.

I’m sure we all are. Not since the famous duel in which Benjamin Franklin shot Benedict Arnold, not since Lincoln crossed the Delaware, not since the British burned the White House in the Civil War, not since Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Emancipation Proclamation has our nation experienced anything of this sort.

I think it may be the most overtly political thing CNN has ever done. It was either banking on Mad Michelle being an utter distraction for the Republicans, as she was, and making President Obama appear even more presidential or was a lifeline to the RNC to discredit the Tea Party, as it was.

While I agree with the notion that the more exposure we give to Sarah and Mad Michelle and their ilk, the better for America. That exposure, however, didn’t require a live broadcast.

Here’s a verse

Doctors are retiring earlier but we’re getting 17000 new IRS
This is how Obama creates health care jobs I guess
For 234 years this country’s been God’s blessing.
Now he’s following Cloward and Piven’s to bankrupt the country I’m guessing
If Obamacare gives Grandma and Grandpa a scare
Think how when their rationed and die earlier we’ll save on healthcare

Hey guys if you fought at Iwo or the Chosen
when they stop giving your wife her meds and her last breath comes over her face
you’ll find comfort knowing Nancy’d gladly take her place.

So do you care to explain why CNN ran two rebuttals from Republicans and why that was appropriate?

I’m curious to hear, and no one in this thread has even attempted it.

There’s a place in the world for the angry young man
With his working class ties and his radical plans
He refuses to bend, he refuses to crawl,
He’s always at home with his back to the wall.
And he’s proud of his scars and the battles he’s lost,
He struggles and bleeds as he hangs on the cross-
And he likes to be known as the angry young man.

Now I understand why Rachel was pissed. I’ve seen several stories about the original concept of the Tea Party , smaller government , fiscal responsibility, being hijacked by other groups and some of the folks who worked hard to make it matter are pissed..
I criticized Rachel in the other thread before I knew the details.but I see her point. CNN is trying to get the inside track on Tea Party news, but they selected a group that isn’t really the Tea Party but a long time political operative exploiting the name. And of course Bachman is perfectly willing to participate, but we don’t like her because she’s so pretty.

notsofast said:

Equal time applies to candidates.

Are you thinking of the fairness doctrine?

Still waiting for Madcow to admit she knew mothing about missle defense..She’s wrong at just about everything she makes up. I guess bashing FOX was going nowhere so now they will try CNN.. MAybe she should watch SKINS more

MSNBC always seems very concerned with what the other networks are doing.

Yes, Rachel is Right, Sal Russo is the “worst person in the world” as far as “political consultants” (opportunists) go. He is responsible for California’s multi-billion dollar budget crisis as his Republican clients blocked the necessary tax increases to pay for the state’s millions of Illegal Immigrants health care and food stamps.

CNN did cover the early Tea Party rallies in April 2009 but was dismissive of them as a political movement, but that was before the firings of millions of Americans from their long-time jobs that led to more of them participating in the Memorial and Labor Day rallies on the Mall in Washington, D.C.

Oh Poor Rachel..he always gets his panties in a bunch over Michelle Bachman. He omits details and he frames the issue to fit his needs…guess dropping to 3rd in the ratings is getting to him.

If Michelle Bachmann does not represent a legitimate enough political force to justify allowing her to speak
FOR her and her side, why does her network unrelentingly devote so much time speaking out
AGAINST her and her side?

Seriously, the inconsistency and hypocrisy over at A-Mess-NBC never ceases to amaze……

You moron are the absolute dumbest people ever! Did all of your history books come from Texas? The founding fathers abolished slavery too??!! Then you wonder why the rest of the country thinks you are dumb white trash! Fist the dumb ass Sarah, now this mental midget Michelle…

You have GOT to be from Democrat Underground..

you are dumb white trash!

That’s why I always try and color coordinate my trash before setting it at the curb.

Racist

I wonder how much Bachmann got paid for her speech.

OMG! If anyone knows scam TV it is Maddow! She works as and for the biggest scammers in TV.

Man, these liberals are soooo afraid of the Tea Party and, really, the ideas that it’s based on.

I couldn’t find any candidates on my ballot with a TP next to their name, only R or D.
There is no Tea Party registered in my state. How about yours?

I didn’t see any with a “p” either, and rachel trumpets his progressive credentials…

“Maddow shared clip after clip from CNN wherein various contributors questioned the descision to give airtime to Bachmann’s speech .. ”

Yes, don’t these people understand? In our glorious Utopia, there’s simply no room for dissenting opinion. Our comrades should not be allowed to listen to the underground voices of those malcontents who, in their uneducated ignorance, can’t see the glory of The State!

I guess there weren’t enough mufti millionaires willing to use it as a front.

While I mostly agree with Maddow, if Piers Morgan didn’t start to beat her ass in the ratings last week, I bet she wouldn’t be so loud in criticizing CNN. She’s just trying to get a bit more attention by mocking competition, which of course is always fun to watch.

I’ll let david Zurawik speak for me:

“Rachel Maddow’s silly take on CNN, Bachmann, SOTU

I have a car in a snow drift somewhere between my home and the Sun office that I have to go and dig out. And I have a Sunday column for print that’s way late.

But I am still going to take a brief moment before dealing with such important stuff to address the most insane thing this side of Keith Olbermann thinking he had anything in common with Edward R. Murrow: MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow criticizing the journalism of CNN because it covered the response of U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann to President Obama’s State of the Union address.

Here is the video. I include it in part because MSNBC sent me a link late Wednesday night saying they thought I might be interested since I praised CNN and Fox News for covering Bachmann’s brief response. You can read it here.

The essence of my critique: The Tea Party has played a major role in shaping the new Congress, and it has already had a significant effect on American life. Given that, if you aren’t sure about whether or not to cover, you err on the side of inclusion — not exclusion. Provide citizens with as much information as you can so that they can make the best decisions about their lives.

But check out the video MSNBC thinks I should see and note that Maddow’s argument boils down to this: Bachmann should not have been covered because she was not “ordained” by the Republican Party as its official responder.

This is the mentality of a lockstep party member, not a journalist. Unless the party “ordains” someone to speak, they shouldn’t be covered by the press, in Maddow’s thinking.”.

http://weblogs.baltimoresun.com/entertainment/zontv/2011/01/rachel_maddow_michele_bachmann.html

BTW, do you remember that there was an “unordained” Dem response to the 2008 SOTU speech by none other than BHO?

Much to do about CNN caring the Tea-Party response, headed-up by Mrs.Backmann, and nothing to say about the content. Ms.Maddow instead, attacks the funding process, which is fine if she had balanced that with how Liberal Progressives handle their funding. As usual, she falls back on the tactic of misdirection. If you can’t attack the message, attack the messenger.
