Rachel Maddow MSNBC Retweeted DRUDGE REPORT

Oh please.

If reporting that something is happening is the same thing as "organizing" it, I'm happy to take credit for organizing the new Trump family patent on Chinese sausage casings, too. And the resignation of Spiro Agnew; that was a tough one, but I'm a diligent organizer!

You'd never confuse her with Jeannine Pirro, for example.

Guy: "I like Drudge, he isn't biased. He just posts links to other news sources"

Me: "Yes, he is biased. If there are two Congressmen accused of the same crime, but Drudge only links to the story on the Democrat accused of the crime, it's his bias right there."

(I was thinking of Gary Condit and Chandra Levy being all over the media, while a similar story of Joe Scarborough and his dead intern barely got a mention anywhere... you'd think a sensationalist media would have loved TWO stories of killer Congressmen.)

Rachel, Lawrence and Chris Hays all announced the protests RIGHT WHEN THE ORGANIZERS announced it! I checked my gmail all day and from noon until 5:30 the organizers warned us to be prepared. We have a huge network of activists who are ready to protest within hours of a Mueller or Rosenstein firing. The organizers (Indivisible and MoveOn) decided that firing Sessions put Mueller's investigation at risk at this is the time for Americans to speak up and RESIST.
If you want to find an event near you, check out the link and give them your zip code. There are 4 within 45 min of my home.

BREAKING: PROTESTS CALLED FOR THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 5 PM LOCAL TIME
Donald Trump has installed a crony to oversee the special counsel's Trump-Russia investigation, crossing a red line set to protect the investigation. By replacing Rod Rosenstein with just-named Acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker as special counsel Robert Mueller's boss on the investigation, Trump has undercut the independence of the investigation. Whitaker has publicly outlined strategies to stifle the investigation and cannot be allowed to remain in charge of it. The Nobody Is Above the Law network demands that Whitaker immediately commit not to assume supervision of the investigation. Our hundreds of response events are being launched to demonstrate the public demand for action to correct this injustice. We will update this page as the situation develops.

Not that they'd admit it. But their criticisms of her are so patently false and they sound like they are projecting their guilt of blindly consuming the fox news propaganda feed. A sure sign that Rachel is doing something right. She gets under their skin by calling out their bullshit. Truth is something conservatives seem have an allergic reaction to.
