Wow...Rachel Maddow just said she was personally insulted by Hillary's Defense RE:IWR

[MadBadger]

She also said that she cried when she heard Hillary was going to support the war. Rachel was not impressed with Hillary tonight.

[aquart]

1. Well, so did I.

Both my senators betrayed me that day.

[Stephanie]

3. And yet you support her.

Why?

[writes3000]

24. Because she believes in her

Who expects to agree with every decision a political figure makes? That's not realistic at all.

[jasmine621]

39. Well, I', personally insulted by Rachel's smearing.

Is this really going to be the job of media folks to now slime politoco they don't agree with?

[neutron]

40. Obama's Health Plan has Flaws

as does his Economic Plan

[Diane R]

52. Obama's Economic plan has flaws? The Washington Post gave his an 'A', and Hillary's a 'C'.

[rodeodance]

65. i did not expect from Rachel. beyond disappointing.

[AX10]

2. Air America still bashing Hillary is see.

[Captain Hilts]

17. Even Stephanie Miller spends her time bashing Dems. I stopped listening. nt

[rodeodance]

64. i stopped listening also

[AX10]

75. I may be done with so called "progressive radio"...

after this primary.

[Hieronymus]

80. Progressive radio likes progressive candidates .. Hillary is DLC.

[Hieronymus]

79. Stephanie isn't bashing Dems .. she prefers Obama. Maybe that's your

objection.

[Thrill]

4. Interesting considering I thought she

was clearly pulling for Clinton throughout this primary

[jasmine621]

5. Rachel is just about as pure a Hillary hater as you can find.

That's the only thing I hold against her.

[1corona4u]

19. Yep, she's never liked her...

she's always slamming her...nothing new...

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

36. how Rovian of you

referring to a critic as a 'hater' is right out of KKarl's playbook for dismissing dissent

[DURHAM D]

38. You may want to read today's dailyhowler.com

He describes Rachel's "motive journalism" tactics rather well.

[Hieronymus]

81. OMG, a radio host with an opinion. I love Rachel Maddow.

[Maddy McCall]

6. Who the hell is Rachel Maddow and why should I care?

I don't even know who this person is. I couldn't care less if she cried over whatever she's claiming she cried over.

:shrug:

[bigwillq]

10. She's from Air America

and just got a full-time gig on MSNBC, I think it's full time

[Maddy McCall]

23. Thanks, bigwillq. I've never heard of her.

Thanks for answering my question.

[rasputin1952]

32. She has a PhD in Political Science, and it is a joy to watch her

rip up up Pat Buchanan, she seems to be opposite him quite often; and almost every time, she does a great job of portraying D's and Progressives as sane ond on top of things. Remarkably intelligent individual w/a great sense of humor...:D

[rhett o rick]

63. Here, here. nm

[rodeodance]

72. she is good, but disappointed she is into dissing Dems in the primary.

[rasputin1952]

74. Well...just look what is happening here...

this is a contentious time for all around, DU has it's share of individuals that diss Dems.

Maddow is bringing up points that need to be discussed, as yet, there has been a lot of posturing, and little else from our candidates. Two of those who have dropped out, Richardson and Kucinich tried to bring issues to the forefront, and they did poorly, they did not get the press. Such is the way things go in election cycles.

[Political Heretic]

77. I thought she was one of the best before the primaries.

I still do now, but of course everyone sees my obama icon and just writes that off.

But she's always been pretty brilliant.

[rasputin1952]

84. I would love to see her and Coulter or Limbaugh in a debate...

it would be a bloodbath, as she would eviscerate either of them singly, and could take both of them on at the same time.

She is a phenominal person with a brilliant mind.

[roguevalley]

33. Rachel is one of the good guys and has been out there in thw

war zone from day one for us.

[rhett o rick]

66. First of all she is brilliant and nice. I cried when the Democrats bowed down and kissed George F

Bush's feet and gave him dictatorial powers to preemptively invade a country. The Democrats that voted as Bush asked them let us down.Those Democrats have over a million dead, and climbing, on their head. Many of us cried then.

[ruggerson]

7. She is also saying Obama "doesn't get it" currently on the war

[AX10]

9. Do you have more details as to what she means?

[Maven]

12. She said Obama wasn't perfect on Iraq either but that Hillary didn't talk about his inconsistencies

because she was "intimidated." :eyes:

I think she just didn't want things to get so negative and contentious before Feb. 5th. Neither of them did.

[rodeodance]

62. what a bunch of crap. Hill intiminated by obamawhinybaby!! what the

heck is going on??

[ginnyinWI]

67. name-calling is so juvenile. n/t

[rodeodance]

71. tsk tsk.

[LibraLiz1973]

8. Rachel Maddow is one of the biggest Hillary haters.

She acts like she loves Obama
but
truth be told...
I think shes a rethug

At the very least,
she is a closet rethug
in Democratic clothing.

[Moochy]

13. You are a fool

She is a "closet" rethug?

Give me a fucking break, god damned blind partisans

[LibraLiz1973]

14. How so?

EVERY time I see her on MSNBC she is trashing the Democratic candidate.
She's rude and obnoxious.

I don't care if she's gay & is touted as a conservative basher...
she is a closet republican.

[Moochy]

15. I find your judgement to be foolish

a closet rethuglican? She's a Rhodes Scholar. She's Gay. She's awesome. We Disagree. Apologies for the post above this one. I just took your "closet" rethuglican the wrong way.

[LibraLiz1973]

18. You know nothing about my judgement. You have a problem with my OPINION.

Being a Rhodes Scholar does not mean that you can not be a Republican.

My opinion of her has been shaped entirely by her appearances on MSNBC.
She comes across sort of disgusted with the entire Dem party & the candidates.

[hisownpetard]

27. I think Rachel Maddow is brilliant. She's sharp-witted and a deep thinker who

expresses her opinions in a cogent and intelligent fashion.
She's as much a Republican as I'm a Bush supporter.

Can't wait for her to get her own show on MSNBC...

[ErnestoG]

34. She is. But notice, it doesn't matter if it's Mother Teresa - the Hillary mob....

would turn against them in a heartbeat if they were critical of their candidate.

[neutron]

44. She sux up to the anti Hillary NBC Corporate Mandate

as does Andrea Mitchell, Matthews and strangely, even Olbermann.
You do what they tell you or you don't come back.

[hisownpetard]

47. Olbermann? OK, now you've lost any credibility you may have had.

Zippo.
Zilch.
Nada.
Nil.

[rhett o rick]

58. Me thinks neutron is a troll. nm

[ErnestoG]

83. self deeeeelete

[LibraLiz1973]

48. This is probably true

[rhett o rick]

57. This person hates Olbermann and Maddow but supports Faux News. Figure it out. nm

[hisownpetard]

68. Yeah. Quack!

[ErnestoG]

59. Wow, can you do any more Freeper like alienations for us?

[Cha]

54. 50 cents good, Caroline Kennedy bad.

roseanne good, Ted Kennedy bad..that about right? ;)

[grantcart]

76. I agree you don't have to agree with someone all of the time to

appreciate them.

[dansolo]

53. I'm disgusted with the entire Dem party and the candidates

Does that make me a closet republican? Sorry, I don't subscribe to blind loyalty, and I will criticize Dems when I feel they deserve it.

[burythehatchet]

49. It is becoming in-fucking-sane. Jesus would be a Freeper is he didn't dig Hil. n/t

[ginnyinWI]

73. insane yes, but this thread is really entertaining, isn't it?

Funny how Hillary has suddenly become the victim.

[rhett o rick]

60. there are a lot of trolls in here spouting hate against everyone opposed to Sen Clinton. nm

[Shakespeare]

16. No, no, no, no, NO.

NO. LibralLiz, you've one of my favorite posters, but that is just WRONG. She's one of the best leftie talk radio personalities we've got. I agreed with every word she said about Hillary and the IWR vote. I think she was an Edwards supporter, btw.

[LibraLiz1973]

20. Hmm. I always thought she was kind of mean about John.

I will say that I only know of her from MSNBC.
I have not listened to her on AA.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

22. Maddow a closet rethug? i don't think so! She is one of the most informed women

when it comes to politics. She's a brilliant Rhodes scholar, knew that we were being lied into war. She is also far more progressive than Obama and Clinton and I think as disappointed as I am that those are our only choices.
BTW..speaking of closeted..she's an uncloseted lesbian.

On edit, I forgot to mention..Clinton is my Senator and I wrote and emailed her on end not to vote for the IRW knowing that Bush was full of shit. When she voted for it, I cried too. I felt betrayed, and yes, I also feel insulted with her BS explanations.

[ErnestoG]

35. a...closet....rethug? Oh good god....

Do some of you people even THINK before your fingers hit those keys?

PLEASE try it!

[burythehatchet]

50. I'm stunned.

[Armstead]

46. She is as far from a Republican as one can possibly get

[rhett o rick]

55. What terrible things to say. Do you have anything to back that up? She says she was disappointed

when Sen Clinton yielded to Bush's wishes, when Sen Clinton gave Bush the authority to kill a million Iraqi's. I felt that way too. Democrats, like Clinton and Dashel were supposed to fight for us but sold us down the river. They gave their support to the fascist Bush Amin, even as we begged them not to. How does that make her a rethug.

[ginnyinWI]

69. I listen to her on the radio every weekday.

She is no republican. period.

Just because you don't agree with her, don't make stuff up out of whole cloth.

[Hieronymus]

82. What a great sense of humor you have ....

Some Democrats are as bad a republicans, when someone doesn't back their candidate. Very Rovian... or Lee Atwater.

[Moochy]

11. Imagine Peace

Oh fuck sorry... I forgot the Peace candidates dropped out of the race. Excuse me while I call the "waaambulance" fucking hero-worshippers.

[ursi]

21. I'm with Rachel Maddow ...and I remember being disgusting with Hillary Clinton

when she did that ...the first of many of her votes that disgusted me. So much for the Clinton legacy.

[tyne]

30. Rachel is

a gift to progressives. She is not afraid to call bullshiite when she sees it. We need that. I've seen her admiration of Hillary and her anger at Obama.

That's what we need! We don't need a Rush.

[sjdnb]

25. Say bye, bye, to many Kerry/Edwards supporters

We understand it was BUSH who ignored/circumvented the bill/law/requirements/intent of the IWR 2002.

It's sad to see so many Dems, seem not to realize/recognize just what a mockery of the law and checks/balances, GW and his band of thieves has made of our democracy.

[AX10]

28. True.

[rodeodance]

70. I am one the we. I keep saying to posts this is bush war and I get dissed on heavy!!

[desi]

26. She tanked for a job at M$NBC so she needs to follow

in Tweety's footsteps. Kinda sad really.

[Moochy]

31. "Kinda sad really"

whats sad is L2 means normally ignored shills get to put their lies on my computer screen.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

37. Could you Hillbots be anymore obnoxious?

Christ, I feel like sending nader a check just from this thread alone.
Can you actually address policy criticism without making it out to be some sort of personal attack on your candidate?

[neutron]

41. Can Oabamites stop going negative?

Your candidate gives a warm fuzzy, but that's about it.

[ErnestoG]

61. Want a mirror?

[neutron]

42. self delete

self delete

[burythehatchet]

51. They cannot. They exactly mirror her campaign. Personal attacks

they use race, they use sexism when it benefits them, they are completlely oblivious to any factual information that contradicts their twisted vision.

[Cha]

56. Eerily mirror it..like

they all got dropped off from somewhere(the mark penn school of dino politics?)..armed with red herrings, insults, strawmen, insults, ad hominems..they make the clintons proud.

[neutron]

43. NBC isn't kind to Women

even their off-air talent. I am told.

[girl gone mad]

29. I cried that day, too.

I think that's why so many of us were upset to hear Hilary say she has no regrets. If I and many other powerless, regular people regret that we weren't successful in stopping the rush war, how can she not regret that vote?

[BobbyVan]

45. The best time to stop the war was before it started.

Obama was there. Hillary wasn't. So much for experience.

[Andromeda]

78. Read this.
