Rachel Maddow Delves Into Bachmann-Endorsed ‘Crackpot’ Iowa Anti-Porn Petition

video
» 110 comments

It is difficult for a commentator like Rachel Maddow to explain the current climate in the Republican Party, so last night she went to explanation by way of analogy. There was a time when KKK leader David Duke won a Republican primary– against incumbent Republican governor of Louisiana Buddy Roemer. Roemer is running in 2012 for President and, yes, Duke is considering it, too. This, Maddow argues, is a product of the same Republican “crackpottery” that brought us the infamous Iowa pledge Rep. Michele Bachmann signed yesterday.

Maddow didn’t intially dig into that pledge, though, but looked at another potential 2012 candidate, Rick Perry– and a pastor affiliated with him who has called Oprah Winfrey a “harbinger of the anti-Christ” (she is, he posits, “kind, reasonable, and utterly deceived”). So the “horrible pastor” fad seems not to have died in 2008, but Maddow moved on fairly quickly from there– to the pledge Rep. Bachmann and Rick Santorum signed this week. Aside from requiring both that candidates ban porn legally and not watch it (which Maddow notes may present a bit of a complicated situation), the pledge also requires they not cheat on their spouses, fight Sharia Law, assert that gay and lesbian people choose to be such, and has a few words on “intrusive intimate comingling among attracteds.” And, of course, there’s all the bizarre slavery stuff.

Maddow described the entirety of the pledge as something that starts out sounding rational under the Bilderberg Group is mentioned and “I saw this thing on Alex Jones” becomes the center of the piece. For comparison, she joked, “If you took a cracked pot and you cracked that cracked pot, you would be approaching the level of crackpottery we have here.”

    Hey MadCow…where’s all that ‘civility’ Libs were whining about? Where’s all the triumph over the great and wonderful things Obamo has done?

    Oh brother – Tommy set the stage for Rachel (how much money ya wanna bet that Tommy called rachel and fed her the story, or vice versa, but some level of coordination between the two of them on that stupid pledge story). Makes me laugh how in bed mediaite staff are with the loons over at MSNBC.

    As for KKKmembers, we will never forget Bobby Byrd (D, WV) member of the Senate forever, was a grand kleagle in the Klan but hey – we only usethe KKK when we talk about anyone but Byrd. Again,. so funny.

    Stillnot a single story on the gun running fiasco, Holder covering up for and obstructing justice, etc.; Nope, that factual real time real world stories surrounding the idiot in chief and his corrupt administration as passed over for stupid stories like some pledge that some folks are making mountains out of molehills.

    oh well, we never expect to find any criticial stories here about Obama, because staff here must get bonusesfrom Soros to cover up for hehimself,. the one, the almight Obamasiah.

    The absolutely *pathetic* group of potential Republican presidential nominees are handing President Obama re-election on a silver platter! My God, the woeful jobs report came out and all of the legitimate media is focusing their attention on Republicans’ refusal to tax millionaires and billionaires and Republicans holding the nation’s economy hostage AND Fox News is focusing its attention on a pissing match with Media Matters! It’s like the Republicans *want* to lose the next election! They are doing a *fantastic* job of it. Conservatives are absolutely *destroying* themselves. And this progressive is loving every second of it! Rachel, keep up the good work! :-D

    O’Reilly to Mackris: “Just use your vibrator to blow off steam.” When the plaintiff reddened, O’Reilly asked lewdly, “What, you’ve got a vibrator don’t you? Every girl does.” When the Plaintiff responded indignantly, “No, they don’t. Does your wife?” O’Reilly replied, “Yes, in fact she does. She’d kill me if she knew I was telling you.”

    From the Minn. Independent:
    “Bachmann’s campaign has repeatedly refused requests for comment about her relationship with Dean and You Can Run But You Cannot Hide.”

    I can not blame her for being quiet. Bachmann’s association with YCR is very telling.

    bernielatham’s comment on Slate Magazine “Luckily, Michele Bachmann Was Wrong About When the “Last Days” Would Occur” By David Weigel.

    “Bachmann represents, to me, a personality type or a psychological construct that invariably heads towards the coercive. She rejects the notion of personal sovereignty in her theology and in her politics and even in her notions of family.”

    Ms. Bachmann is a libertarian nightmare.
    Welcome to my nightmare libertarians, I don’t think you’re gonna like her or feel you belong.

    Perhaps juan – but what pray tell has caused the mediaite staff to focus in on this level of BS, Rachel, some pledge that TC made into something it never was, and ignore the biggest scandal in the WH:

    Really, these so called “news”organizations and sites that covers what the news does/says, has completely made foolsof themselves by IGNORNING fast and furious.

    Just imagine it was Bush and Gonzales…oh wait, we don’t have to imagein, the media made up a story about Gonzales togo after Bush’s DOJ, and here we have a real, valid, honest to god open scandal where Holder is obstructing justice and the media and media sites like this one are TURNING A BLIND EYE.

    And they wonder why conservatives andreal americans who get the news from places other than abccbsnbcmsnbccnnnytimes laugh in their faces.

    honestly mediaite, you really ought to pony up a story on it; break away from the lbieral group think and mind meld of your colleagues in the liberal left elite media and report some facts to the readers here.

    how about it, just a little story about Holder obstructing justice? just a ity, bitty teeny one? Something so we know you know the news???

    Come on, you can do it. I know it doesn’t bode well for your leader, butplease….you can’t spike it forever.

    Oh boo-hoo! Let’s have a pity party for poor @TfT because the media has decided not to interfere with an ongoing investigation and has decided to wait until there is actually *something* to report about “Fast and Furious.” BTW, @TfT, you must not watch the White House daily news briefing because the Press Secretary has been peppered with questions about “Fast and Furious” and there simply is nothing of substance to report yet as several agencies are in the middle of the investigation. However, try as you might make it, “Fast and Furious” isn’t Watergate, it’s not the Iraq War, it’s not even Karl Rove’s political firings in the Justice Department.

    I don’t blame you, though @TfT. If the political party that I was affiliated with best hope’s for regaining power were on the shoulders of Mitt Romney and Michele Bachmann, I too would do *anything* in my power to try to change the discussion as well. But unfortunately for you, I don’t think Ms. Bachmann’s going to let you do that. So you just sit there blaming the “liberal” media. And please keep in mind, Fox News has been busying itself calling Jon Stewart a racist and exchanging barbs with Media Matters. Who knows, maybe “Fast and Furious” *would* get some media coverage if the Republicans weren’t using the debt ceiling to hold the American economy hostage in order to protect millionaires’ and billionaires’ tax cuts? But we both know they’re not going to stop doing that, don’t we @TfT? So boo-hoo to you!

    BILL O’REILLY suggested that he would perform oral sex upon Plaintiff ANDREA MACKRIS, and that she would start to perform fellatio upon his “big co ck” but not complete the sex act: “you’d tease me, like you wouldn’t really do it, you’d just like – ‘cuz I know you… you’re like a tease.”

    Why didn’t she follow-through with her BOGUS lawsuit?

    Time for Rachel to bring back Larry Flynt as expert. Maybe Anthony Weiner could offer up his opinions too.

  • felixw

    I have often complained that Rachel Maddow uses her show to attack people, and rarely stands up for any substantive policy position. I now need to take that back. Maddow has made a clear statement in favor of porn.

    Of course, this is about as “substantive” and “policy-driven” as this lady ever gets. She won’t address the $14 trillion national debt or the bankrupt entitlements that will bring us to bankruptcy as nation. She won’t talk about the border, and the word “unemployment” will never cross her lips. But she will make a case for hardcore movies! Bravo, Rachel. Way to go! What a shining beacon for the American left!

    How weird can the Republican Presidential sweepstakes get? Now it’s Michele Bachmann’s turn. I ask you very simply: do you really think she has what it takes to be POTUS? C’mon, get real. Does she or her homopohic husband have the knowledge, wisdom, smarts, vision to get us back on the right track. After all, many of our problems were caused by dumb, self-serving rightwing policies, and Bachmann isn’t even on that level of foolishness and idiocy, i.e.,tax cuts for the super wealthy, unnecessary wars, deregulating everything, no coherent health plan, etc. If the Devil were a Tea Party member, you rightwingers and bigots would defend her/him. In all reality, when the religious zealots like Bachmann start talking about the antiChrist, they know what they’re talking about because it’s the imagery they own.

    So this what conservative/tea party folks mean by “small, nonintrusive government”?

    
Bachmann is just another delusional tea party brown-nosing theocrat who pretentiously claims to be doing “God’s work” — using cherry-picked biblical passages to justify her brand of social intolerance and religious self-righteousness.

    Bachmann insists that she is not a flake. “I am a serious person”. And then she signs a pledge suggesting that black slave families exemplified right wing “traditional family values”, implying that slavery was not that bad after all.

    Not a flake?  Methinks she has a bit more work to do.

    Jesus He Knows Me: the Lyrics:
    Do you see the face on the TV screen
    Coming at you every Sunday
    See the face on the billboard
    That man is me
    On the cover of the magazine
    There’s no question why I’m smiling
    You buy a piece of paradise
    You get a piece of me
    I’ll get you everything you wanted
    I’ll get you everything you need
    Don’t need to believe in hereafter
    Just believe in me
    Cos Jesus he knows me
    And he knows I’m right
    I’ve been talking to Jesus all my life
    Oh yes he knows me
    And he knows I’m right
    And he’s been telling me
    Everything is alright
    I believe in the family
    With my ever loving wife beside me
    But she don’t know about my girlfriend
    Or the man I met last night
    Do you believe in God
    Cos that is what I’m selling
    And if you wanna go to heaven
    I’ll see you right
    You won’t even have to leave your house
    Or get out of your chair
    You don’t even have to touch that dial
    Cos I’m everywhere
    And Jesus he knows me
    And he knows I’m right
    I’ve been talking to Jesus all my life
    Everything is alright
    You won’t find me practising what I’m preaching
    Won’t find me making no sacrifice
    But I get you a pocketful of miracles
    If you promise to be good, try to be nice
    God will take good care of you
    Just do as I say, don’t do as I do
    I’m counting my blessings
    I’ve found true happiness
    Cos I’m getting richer, day by day
    You can find me in the phone book
    Just call my toll free number
    You can do it anyway you want
    Just do it right away
    They’ll be no doubt in your mind
    You’ll believe everything I’m saying
    If wanna get closer to him
    Get on your knees and start praying
    Cos Jesus he knows me
    And he knows I’m right
    I’ve been talking to Jesus all my life
    Oh yes he knows me
    And he knows I’m right
    And he’s been telling me
    Everything is alright

    Well, Pawlenty is doomed anyway, so taking a big bite of the fruitcake can’t really help or hurt him — and maybe buys him a few more days of campaigning.

    Why, no one is sure, but what the heck.

    And the whole world knows that “anal incontinence” is a long-term avocation of Rick Santorum so no breaking news there.

    But with Bachmann, it’s as if she gets a little crazier with each passing day and increasingly unwilling to keep the peace with simple reality.

    Which is why even dedicated right-wingers — if they look into their hearts — must realize that they.can’t.vote.for.this.loon.

    C’mon, guys, you don’t want any of these nutters in higher office — seriously.

    Too bad Maddow only has about 20-40 fringe left viewers, watching her fringe left garbage. Oh, wait. That’s good. For America. LOL.

    On a good night, one million viewers. On a had night, about half that.

    It ain’t chicken feed.

    And as you might have noticed (this site is called MEDIAite) clips and quotes from Maddow go out to many millions more. The fact of the matter is — for most Americans — Maddow isn’t very fringe-y at all: just a solid liberal a lot smarter than most of the politicians she helps hoist by their own petards.

    Perhaps juan – but what pray tell has caused the mediaite staff to focus in on this level of BS, Rachel, some pledge that TC made into something it never was, and ignore the biggest scandal in the WH:

    Fast and Furious.

    Really, these so called “news”organizations and sites that covers what the news does/says, has completely made foolsof themselves by IGNORNING fast and furious.

    Just imagine it was Bush and Gonzales…oh wait, we don’t have to imagein, the media made up a story about Gonzales togo after Bush’s DOJ, and here we have a real, valid, honest to god open scandal where Holder is obstructing justice and the media and media sites like this one are TURNING A BLIND EYE.

    And they wonder why conservatives andreal americans who get the news from places other than abccbsnbcmsnbccnnnytimes laugh in their faces.

    honestly mediaite, you really ought to pony up a story on it; break away from the lbieral group think and mind meld of your colleagues in the liberal left elite media and report some facts to the readers here.

    how about it, just a little story about Holder obstructing justice? just a ity, bitty teeny one? Something so we know you know the news???

    Come on, you can do it. I know it doesn’t bode well for your leader, butplease….you can’t spike it forever.

    I think the lack of response to the “Fast and Furious” story you’re seeing from the media and non-crazy Republicans is because the story is bullshit. Despite the fact that ATFE’s acting director has been allowed to squat on the seat and fling turds at the White House for two years because Republicans refuse to progress Obama’s nominee, it’s not in Holder’s (or any Administration official’s) interest to obstruct and objective fact strongly suggests that they aren’t.

    Not to mention that “Fast and Furious” is at least important, as opposed to silly and creepy like anti-porn pacts.

    I just confirmed that Bachmann really did sign this pledge. I was just getting to like her, but now I’ve totally lost respect for her. The same goes for Santorum. I don’t feel you can’t truly call yourself a conservative if you support things like this. To me a conservative also believes in the principles of libertarianism. The only candidate I can stomach anymore is Herman Cain, and unfortunately he doesn’t have a prayer of getting the GOP nomination.

    Don’t discount Jon Huntsman. I think he is an honest, good man. Republicans will be making a mistake if they don’t give a second look to this guy and what he offers. And one thing he offers, is a genuine honest campaign without any of the nane-calling and hatred but with a discussion of the differences between him and Obama.

    Then again, I guess some people’s vision of being a true Christian is a bit different than mine.

    Yes, Bachman not only signed this pledge, but even though she tries to convince people it didn’t have the “slavery” paragraph, it did.

    No,a sad “case” they are. I recall that all the prominent Jewish women use to follow Hitler around, giving him money like he was a movie star or something. It was the “or something” they should have been concerned about. The real answer is gather all the information and think for yourself. Unfortunately, there are a lot of low life, uneducated republicans who can’t think for themselves.

    Gorgegirl thinks there are a lot of “low life,uneducated republicans who can’t think for themselves”. On the contrary,what makes liberals furious is that they can’t just tell the conservatives to sit down and shut up. Not yet,anyway.

    I’m in complete agreement with your statement on illegal aliens. If Huntsman cannot understand that this issue goes to the heart of sovereignty, citizenship, and the rule of law, he, or any other political beggar who is not 100% opposed to the illegal alien parasite movement shouldn’t even consider running!!
