You know, thinking about Rachel Maddow...

[LibraLiz1973]

Sorry, it had to be done.
I am stunned by the amount of threads I see about her.
Has she done something so awful that we must all bash her?


She's really grown on me.

[Danger Mouse]

1. I got nothing against her.

:shrug:

[leeroysphitz]

2. Hoo boy. I love Maddow. What did she (supposedly) say that was so horrible?

3. I love her.

I don't get her radio show, but since I first saw her fill in for KO, I have adored her, and I have loved her new show. I think a lot of people are on edge, and projecting their feelings onto others.

8. Is There a Video Link From This Picture? n/t

13. It was the end of the last debate. I saw it happen live,

but the freeze-frame was far funnier than I expected. I could tell it was an awkward moment, but goodness, that still shot exceeded all my expectations! LOL!

I could probably find you a video of it, with some searching, but I don't have time right now. But if you find a complete video of the last debate that includes the final goodbyes, it will be there.

4. I think everyone likes her...

She's the new kid on the block. There was a lot of initial, unqualified enthusiasm about and affection for her at the outset, that gave way to the reality that all public personalities have their flaws. So the pendulum swang, and it will settle.

She's on our side. DU supports Rachel.

5. The "I love"/"I hate" Rachel threads are getting a bit much.

I wish we could all just agree that she is a smart, competent journalist that sometimes says things we may not all agree on and move the f*ck on.

6. Pukes are scared shitless about the down-ticket carnage.

The monkeys are flinging poo.

[OrwellwasRight]

7. There are haters everywhere.

Even on DU. Sigh.

[DJ13]

9. Her sarcasm wears on some people, thats all there is about it

[The Shadow]

10. Rachel Is Great!

I love the fact that I have Rachel's show in addition to KO to view every evening. I did notice that some of the hate Rachel threads were by posters with very few posts. Hmmmmm! I wonder! :)

[MassLiberal]

11. I love Rachel

She's smart, she's funny, and she is trying to be somewhat balanced and not just give the game away. She doesn't insult our intelligence.

[Cleita]

12. Yeah. They are the same people who used to trash Randi Rhodes all

the time and say, oh Rachel isn't as rude and narcissistic as Rachel. We all love Rachel. Now I guess they don't. I personally love both of those women and don't like what the trash operatives are doing to them. What's worse is when our people join in with the defamation.

[OwnedByFerrets]

14. Rachael is wonderful.
