Rachel is kicking Kellyanne's butt! Little Kelly is stumbling her way through

[mfcorey1]

the barrage of truths that Rachel is throwing her way. I am loving it.

[flamingdem]

Take it to the liar

3. I chickened out and went to the A-Team. Will catch it in the a.m...n/t

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

4. Rachel is doing journalism!

Refreshing.

[jodymarie aimee]

5. I am hating it

Why give this shit a platform...normalizing Trump. We do NOT do that. Shame on Rachel and her "get".

[mfcorey1]

11. There is no normalizing him tonight!

[DesertFlower]

19. she's holding her feet to the fire.

give rachel the credit she deserves.

[mfcorey1]

22. Things Rachel has questioned

taxes
profiting from hotel
interfering if foreign affairs before inauguration
his children sitting in on conferences
babbling on and on about a past campaign

[elmac]

55. My feelings exactly

now she will just be another part of sniffles propaganda machine but hey, she's a multi millionaire.

[napi21]

6. Tell me more! I deliberately didn't tune in because I can't stand KC's voice! nt

[mfcorey1]

13. Rachel had her stuttering when questioning why Drumpf feels the need

to interfere with President Obama's decisions? She left her looking lost when she asked her about how man countries had nuclear weapons and the amounts. Kelly's ability to lie faster than a speeding bullet is no match for Rachel's questioning! Why is she a major advisor with no knowledge of such things?

[Cha]

25. Good to know! thank you for your thread, mfcorey.. dump is

an obnoxious bully and here's hoping it comes back to hoist him on his own sleazy petard one of these days.. con-way too.

Advisor? Or resident motormouth?

con-way must have thought she could out.. what's that called when a politician or pundit talks over everybody else really fast and no one else can get in a word?

Rachel It's good to give someone like that a platform on Rachel's show than say the usual media******.. wonder if she'll be back?

[Hekate]

39. Ah, you're probably thinking of the Gish Gallop....

I deliberately gave this episode a miss, but I am SO glad to read how it turned out!! Go Rachel!

A friend called me to say she thought Kellyanne was a complete bubblehead with no answers and I had to disabuse her of that notion. From all reports, Kellyanne Conway is one sharp cookie. She's just a white supremacist and congenital liar.

[Cha]

48. I am thinking of Gish Gallop.. thank you, Hekate!

I even googled but couldn't get it.. so I decided just to ask DU... lol

KAC just comes off like your friend described for those who care about the truth and facts.

Rachel

[calimary]

56. And you'll notice she rattles off these long run-on sentences in a monotone.

Occasionally she'll add the name of the interviewer in there between the run-on sentences that sure do keep that needle bouncing, as we used to say about the mic-level meters in the control room.

She also smiles a lot, and flirts a wee bit, and cocks her head coquettishly to one side, probably an unconscious effort to charm-and-disarm ("aw, you don't mean cute harmless little ol' me?&quot . She sat very rigidly while talking to Rachel Maddow. Didn't move much in her chair or gesture. When the camera pulled back to a two-shot, she looked very rigid and guarded, not very comfortable.

I originally felt like watching something else, but I wound up seeing this anyway. Rachel did a good job. She probed. Follow-up questions. I remember when she was interviewing Rand Paul when he was first running for Senate. She asked a question about the conundrum of civil rights laws versus businesses having the "freedom" to discriminate. He answered with the typical bullshit libertarian laissez-faire attitude about not wanting to tell businesses what to do ("so then you think they're free to refuse service to Black people?&quot . He was a Michael-Jackson-meets-Fred-Astaire with a few of the Radio City Rockettes thrown in, as far as how resolutely he danced around that one. But she wouldn't give up. She stayed on that, trying to wring some truth or reality check out of him for the whole 14-or-so minute segment. I'm sure she had a list of other questions to ask him that never got asked, because she bore down on this one to get some clarity from him. Never got any, but it sure made him look like a slippery eel. He wound up winning, so I guess in they must like slippery eels in his state.

But seriously, that's what you're supposed to do, if your subject says something startling or out-of-the-ordinary or full of baloney. You don't just let 'em bounce the needle for 25 or 30 seconds and then basically go to "okay, my next question is..." Shit - you press 'em! At least a little (?!?!).

[calimary]

65. I just noticed something else, as we're on rewatch.

Body language. She's not only sitting there, rigid, basically motionless. Her arms are crossed at the wrist, frozen tightly in her lap. Legs crossed demurely. Okay, two I'm closed signals. Even when her hands are up resting on the table top, they're still crossed at the wrist. Subtly telegraphs "closed". And at one point, her right hand in her lap (left hand crossed over it at the wrist) formed a fist. A FIST! Sheesh!

Milady is Closed, Closed, Closed. Her body language telegraphs "On Defense!" "Guarded!" "Closed!" She's on guard. Uncomfortable. She's not enjoying this. LOVED the Pivot-To-Aleppo attempt when the questioning grew too pointed!

And speaking of pointed...

I noticed something additional beyond that. Notice when she smiles her biggest, most toothy smile - she has fangs? At certain angles, both the canine teeth are rather prominent, and are longer than the incisors and molars around them. Fangs!

[napi21]

46. Thank you. I have a lot of respect for Rachel. She & Joy are the only hosts I know of who can

put people like Kellyann on the spot and keep them stammering.

[mfcorey1]

15. She (Kelly) is trying her tactics of deflecting while throwing in a jab at anything

democratic. It sounds so hollow.

[SharonAnn]

41. Lawrence O'Donnel asked Rachel last night if she had her answers ready for this. Because

kelly ann answers every question with a question to the interviewer.

[uponit7771]

57. Kellyanne is the best gish galloper I've seen other than the black lady on FOX news that was

... a Sanders supporter.

[busterbrown]

68. Nah.. I respect your opinion...

but there are so many out there that are close and better than Kellyanne. The problem is that never during the election cycle did.. kellyanne ever run into a tough MSM interview.






freaking never

[Satch59]

7. Great job...

Conway fumbling and Rachel not backing down...

Asked her who has the most nuclear weapons after U.S. and Conway says I don't know...

Rachel is hammering her and Conway looks lost...

[Branmerr]

9. Rachel is killing it!

[skylucy]

10. YES!

[mchill]

14. Is Kellyanne strapped into her seat? Otherwise she'd be outta there

[mfcorey1]

16. Looks like she is ready to be jettisoned!

[Generator]

17. Goddamn it only one question I want answered

Is miss Goebbels sure of her bunker position? Because nuclear war could kill her kids too. I'd like to see her little face at that.

[lastlib]

37. I was just thinking, "She must be related to Goebbels somehow..."!

[no_hypocrisy]

18. Rachel doesn't suffer logical fallacies.

[superpatriotman]

21. Deflecting

I want to her to go far, far away

[mfcorey1]

23. Still turning it back to what Madam President Hillary did. All lies as to accompany her fast talking

She has finally met her match. Go Rachel!

[AJT]

24. Actually....

She is very good at what she does and although Rachael is challenging her she doesn't flinch and always has a comeback, all the while smiling. Having no moral compass makes for the ability to lie with impunity and with a straight face.

[mfcorey1]

30. All adds up to a dangerous liar!

[AJT]

31. Indeed it does

and having actual moral values makes the whole Trump presidency very difficult for progressives to deal with. We have truth and they have a massive media empire that tells lies and claims the mantle of thuth.

[uponit7771]

59. I've been wondering what makes her such a good gish galloper ... no moral compass

[mfcorey1]

26. Oh damn! Rachel just pulled the rabbit out of the hat with Martha Radditz

comments made about her by don the con. Kellyanne being snarky when asked why!

[phylny]

69. I wish Rachel would have asked if Martha Radditz should sue

just like Melania is doing.

I wonder if here's a special place in hell for hucksters and liars like Conway.

[tenorly]

27. Lawrence O'Donnell gave Rachel great advice last night:

"Make sure to have answers, not merely questions, because ask Kellyanne anything and she'll usually answer with a question - to evade your question."

[Guyechka]

28. No doubt

the Rump will tweet about nasty nasty Rachel at 3am.

[Hekate]

40. I can hardly wait

[nolabear]

29. She is doing brilliantly! I'm so proud of her.

She's being professional, paced, intelligent and is going toe to toe with that godawful woman.

[Afromania]

32. I hate to be that guy

I mean on one hand yay put those footises to the fire. On the other hand we could have used this sort of journalism before Cheeto McBadnikov and the Flunky Voltron Team got the keys to the castle.

[Hekate]

42. Rachel is only one person. OTOH, today I briefly caught 2 diff shows (MSNBC and CNN) where the folks

...were wringing their hands over Benedict Donald. Now THAT struck me as too little, too late. Why now, morons? Rachel and very few others this past year were able to resist the siren call of ratings and report on something besides Trump's tweets, and even they spent far too much effort on giving him free air time..

[pangaia]

51. They do it now for a while to make money.

Tomorrow they will switch back...as always...

[cwydro]

33. Glad to hear DU is back on Rachel's side.

There was a real hatefest here not too long ago.

Hard to keep up with the mood swings, sigh.

[Martin Eden]

34. Donald Trump is definitely lying, because...

Kellyane's lips are moving.

[CK_John]

35. IMO, It was a 50-50 session, Rachel seemed scared of her and Conway.

tried to seem bored having to deal with a pretend reporter.

[mfcorey1]

36. No way, you saw the same broadcast I watched. Rachel was professional and

knowledgeable, but never scared.

[CK_John]

38. Just the way I saw it.

[elmac]

58. Rachel, like all network hosts

is afraid of pushing too hard for fear of sniffles pulling the plug on MSNBC, boycotting MSNBC which would probably get her fired.

[jaxind]

45. Love Rachel, but she blew it in one area

The last segment, Conway says that if people stopped lying, then Melania wouldn't have to file lawsuits. This was right after Rachel said that tRUMP lied about Martha Raddatz. So, Rachel should have come back at Kelly Anne by saying "Yes, you're right...I wish people would stop lying about other people like I wish Mr. Trump hadn't lied about Martha!"

[katmondoo]

47. She blew the whole show by having Kellyanne on

[elmac]

60. Yes, the normalcy begins

pretty soon, they will be inviting her to gun clubs.

[uponit7771]

61. She picked her fights, she did pretty good against one of the best gish gallopers on Earth

[KittyWampus]

71. Yes, I was trying to telepathically communicate that to her. Or Obama could sue Trump for lying

about birth certificate or so many damned things.

[jimlup]

49. The only problem is that one has to be capable of understanding that

Last edited Fri Dec 23, 2016, 12:27 AM - Edit history (2)

Kellyanne has no answer. She's a bullshit artist and that's what she's been doing from the beginning. She just stonewalls and dumb people think she "really showed that fool Maddow".

Obviously we know differently but your typical right-winger would walk away from it thinking she was brilliant and that Donald is just a misunderstood orange overgrown wonderkin.

[Auntie Bush]

52. Me too.

She put her back on her heels many times. You go Rachael!

[Loki]

53. I wish she had come back with this rebuttal about Martha Radditz.

If Melania Trump can sue a blogger for a lie about her, why can't Martha sue Donald Trump for the lies that he has said PUBLICLY about her reactions on election night? Melanie is so concerned about a lie, why not Martha who has a much more important reputation to protect from smears and innuendo and outright lies about her and her professional behavior and is constantly being repeated over and over again without any retraction. I hope that woman goes down in flames some day. That is only befitting of someone who lies without conscience.

[Retrograde]

70. It was the obvious follow-up

and I would have loved to hear Conway tap-dancing her way through that one

[elmac]

54. I am disappointed that she even had that paid off mouth piece on her show

that just gives sniffles a nod of normalcy.

[Lifelong Protester]

63. I'm with you.

I wish they (the M$M) would not give a platform to anyone associated with the Snizzwad.

[MrModerate]

62. Conway has very sharp teeth and a monomaniacal focus on message. And little else. n/t

[William Seger]

64. It's pretty silly thinking Conway is going to clarify anything

Nothing either she or Trump says really mean anything.

[Nwgirl503]

66. Rachel did spectacularly

But please let someone loose on Conway who isn't worried about seeming fair or balanced and isn't worried about keeping their job. Please let someone loose on that sorry sack of shit pathetic excuse waste of skin enabler slash supporter. She's the chick who, when your boyfriend beats you, tries to make you see his side of it and how you could have avoided the beating if you'd only just have....(insert whatever victim blaming meme you want here.)

Trump I hate. This woman, a traitor to her own kind, invokes a special kind of hatred from me. There's a special corner in hell for her.

[nolabear]

67. Rachel did a fine job of trying to hit hard but keep the door open.

The two of them know who they are and what the stakes are. We need access to something and it ain't gonna be Donald unless she breeds trust by being tough but fair. You can rail and gain nothing or work the ropes without bsing and hang onto some access. Rachel did well.
