WOW! Another great one by Maddow

[CanOfWhoopAss]

Yes, the Republican "war on women" is real.

[DFW]

1. Rachel Maddow is one of the most clear and eloquent commentators in media today

And that goes for either side. I'm REALLY glad she's on ours!!

[CanOfWhoopAss]

2. Oh Man if she was on their side that would blow! n/t

8. The only three they have who can speak coherent English

Are all frustrated, angry, frightened men who twist and contort to bend facts to meet their pre-conceived
notions of how the world should be according to Ailes and Luntz. I'm talking about George Will, David Brooks
and Charles Krauthammer. All three of them speak with good grammar but diatribes oozing with verbal
gymnastics, trying to convince the world why up is really down, and night is really day. Will, the persistent
old school "conservative," Brooks, trying to come across as the "reasonable conservative," and Krauthammer,
the angry, scowling crusader, looking hoping no one will call him out when he blasts his verbal shotgun at
anything that moves, hoping to hit some "liberals" (he always misses).

5. it's

The force of logic and real clear analytical thinking both of which the opposition has no use for and may even deny the existence of. So of course it's going to baffle and confuse them, being nearly unaware of the existence of such things leaves you totally unprepared to cope with them.

7. What do you mean, "one of"? If you know someone better, please share.

21. A friend of mine does frequent guest spots

While not full time, his commentary is quite incisive, I find. Indeed, he has been a guest on Rachel's show
quite a few times, I understand. He used to be in politics full time.

I don't get American TV here, so I rely on clips sent to me.

3. yes

succinctly put

[loudsue]

4. Gawd she's good!

This video should go viral!

[great white snark]

6. Outstanding.

As usual from Dr. Maddow.

[MrMickeysMom]

9. Recommended!!!!!!

Yes, Virginia ....

There really IS a WAR!

10. A Six Second Pause

How could Mitt Romney not have a position about the Lilly Ledbetter act? Why did it take six seconds to get a "we'll get back to you on that," response?

How would it be damaging to him if he said he supported the bill?

Does Romney stand for anything besides what his corporate masters tell him to believe?

That's not leadership. Sadly, Republicans will go to the polls en masse to vote for him.

11. Gawd, I love Rachel!!!

[NoMoreWarNow]

12. I love Maddow, but I could do without the editing of the Hoekstra quote...

it just makes me a little nervous when they take clips like that and present them as a seamless quote... here is a more complete (and still very damning quote)--

14. Edited for time, as the message is the same. n/t

[NoMoreWarNow]

18. yes, but the way they played the sound, it sounded like one complete statement

and thus it was somewhat misleading. I just hate to have someone argue he was taken out of context, or whatever.

13. About the ONLY newscaster I trust is Rachel.

Give me Rachel 8 days a week, every news cast everywhere!

[shcrane71]

15. She makes the nation better. nt

[SamG]

16. Rachel actually makes corrections when she's wrong.

Bold assertions of when she, (or her research staff) screwed up, and usually they only screw up once a month or so, and screw up by NOT giving all the details, or by not giving some silly point that Republicans will insist is part of the full story.

I love a news reporter who admits when they are wrong, invites Republicans to come on and defend their position, and actually admits she is not a perfect reporter of facts.

[NoMoreWarNow]

19. yes, very true

she does elevate the medium

[shcrane71]

20. Agreed... Isn't it fascinating that her ability to be humble and say mea culpa

when she makes a mistake -- even though she holds advanced degrees and is, in fact, a Rhodes scholar -- enables her to give some of the best political analysis in the US? Maybe it's only fascinating to me that someone so credentialed is 1) not simply resting on her laurels, but doing hard-hitting, journalistic work 2) on one of the biggest national cable networks 3) is so incredibly humble, and personable, and admits mistakes.

This is not what America has come to expect from their reporters after so many years of Faux news.

17. Did I mention she would be my Prime Minister?
