1. The audience was totally with her

and she didn't allow him to talk over her. That's how it's done.

[calimary]

5. As well they should have been.

He's a total tool. And she reached her hand out and touched his arm, too, getting his attention, asserting a position of dominance and superiority. Subtle, but totally THERE! You GO, Sister! If I were President, I'd have YOU do the convocation at my inauguration. Not anybody like that pompous stuffed-shirt rick wallace. And I'd choose the OTHER Wallis - JIM Wallis, of Sojourners, as the other faith speaker.

13. +1!

2. Dinesh tried to be a typical republican asshat

By trying to dismiss her with humor... "Got a nun on a high horse here." At least she has the courage of her convictions mister family man.

3. Right, right, right

"You're kind of bleeding all over me here." What a yutz.

4. she is a treasure!

6. D'Souza left dumbstruck

His snark had to effect.

[Iwillnevergiveup]

10. You mean

NO effect, Yo_Mama?

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

11. I think that's what I meant

don't know why I typed to.

7. Actually she didn't even let him make his point, either time.

She just interrupted him, twice and shouted right over him. If she had let him go on with what he was going to say he would have hung himself. THEN, she could really have had him.

[JDPriestly]

8. K&R. Sister Simone is right.

Wish there was a way we could charge employers for the welfare and government benefits their employees have to apply for just to stay alive. Can anyone think of a way to use deductions as (to use that OK Republican word) an incentive to get employers to pay living wages?

[Warpy]

9. D'Souza is so full of it it's coming out his ears

Like most of these bloviating jerks all he knows are slogans and a few canned speeches. He's got absolutely no idea about real world economics and the lives of people who don't get hundreds of thousands of years for bloviating slogans and canned speeches over the airwaves.

I hope Maher has Sister Simone back often. She shows how it's done.

The depressed minimum wage is the issue right now. Most of the trouble this country and the economy are now in is because labor has been devalued below a living level while a handful of billionaires rob us all blind. If it doesn't change, and soon, there will be a revolution.

[Enthusiast]

12. Thank you, Sister Simone!

Dinesh D'Souza is one repulsive individual.

[Iwillnevergiveup]

14. 2 things puzzle me

Why does Maher have this nincompoop on his show, and why does D'Souza agree to appear?

[Quixote1818]

15. Wow! That was amazing to watch! nt

[MrMickeysMom]

16. She explained it SO WELL…

That 35 year old who paid his employees living wages in a company he founded IS FUNDING HIS COMPETITOR!

The WallMarts of the world… and, yes… the health care system I WORK FOR… They pay as little as they can get away with and even claim "non-profit" status... so little the workers holding what they feel is a career ladder after one or two rungs fall off and to NO WHERE… what other opportunities do they have? How can these organizations get away with their workers being eligible for state welfare?

Meanwhile, where else can the American worker with a 2 year degree go for a "career ladder"?

Hey, American worker… your money is being held in an offshore account and your corporate "leaders" are really good at not paying property taxes or even taxes at all, if they are General Electric.

May DAY!

17. Shes awesome.

[CTyankee]

18. I wish Mika would book the good Sister on Morning Joe.

but I'll bet Joe has already given standing orders never to have the Sister on his show when he's there. I bet he's afraid of her...

[BootinUp]

19. We need to support her message somehow.

As she is one of the best speakers on these issues I have ever seen.
