1. I was watching, too...
She really is the best! :woohoo:

And I remember the first time she subbed for KO. On her radio show, she talked about how nervous she was... ;)

3. Usually these RWers are grateful for her fairness,
And she gives them time to say whether she has the facts right. But that jackass was having none of it, just came there to argue. He just came off as a belligerent sorehead. I sure hope he doesn't come back... x(

4. That guy was some really nasty pernicious BS, if that is what they are advertising...
They are doomed if not damned to lose - a most disgusting display of ignorance & RW bigotries

6. I have no idea why he even came on the show,
If he had no intention of having an intelligent discussion. Rachel always gets her facts right. This jerk didn't like it, since he couldn't get away with confusion and denial. He's obviously not used to someone who's so much smarter than he is and calls him on his BS... :D

11. Yeah, that's what I though too, he just came there to argue and to try to steamroll over
Rachel. I thought he was an absolute ass... as you said, "a belligerent sorehead."

Shouting seems to be the norm there. x(

5. That was beautiful
she just kept bombarding him with facts about his racist ties, each one more incriminating than the last, notice she waited to hit him with his own personal ties to that magazine. She is truly the best.

13. What was that at the end? Absolutely classic? "I think you're wasting people's time"
Said with every drop of suppressed violence and bigoted white spittle that ever flew out of Glenn Beck's mouth answered with a righteous snap of her own- "I'd be happy to have you back if you wanna waste some more with me."

"Any time."

"We'll be right back."


Rachel's matrix of interwoven, well researched facts & data are a joy to watch spread like wonderful Cat's Cradles. The viciousness of bigoted, institutionalized white supremacists as represented by FAIR and their believers such as: Dan Stein - would seem to be unfathomable as they were offered every opportunity to declare themselves proper American citizens by the fathom after fathom to do so by Rachel - opportunities declined instead

8. This may be unusual, but this is a post to agree with EVERY preceding post
Rachel was absolutely masterful! She Pwn'd his ass. He'll come back "anytime"? Pardon me for suspecting that, in his doublespeak, that means "Never."

THIS is how we defeat them--with the facts, with the truth. I hate "spin"--from either side. Unfortunately, spin often wins, mostly because it's crafted to make good soundbites. Tonight, Rachel demonstrated the power of truth. Hoisting one for her, and for us.

:toast:

10. Nice footwork, an excellent counterpuncher
Apparently the 3-knockdown rule not in effect.
I dont always get to see Rachel, but caught this. Did this goober think our girl does'nt do her homework? He apparently thought he could gloss a few things over, call the SPLC liars a couple times, and claim that FAIR are concerned citizens working for a better world. Instead, Rachel kept digging up creeps that ratttled him!
He's an example, though, of something we often see from the right - that they often beleive that we really want to be like them, if we were to hear the right argument. And then, they are flabbergasted to find out that we beleive them to be fundamentally wrong, and slime bags to boot!

12. Dude was a totally disrespectful ass - Rachel just kept nailing him with fact after fact
Edited on Fri Apr-30-10 05:48 AM by slay
I mean at one point he seemed so shocked at what she knew about his freaky white-master-race connections that he wouldn't even answer - it was like he was stunned and Rachel had to say "Yes" for him which he kind of just nodded to. Man this guy was Type A alpha male hyper-aggressive all the way and Rachel still easily came out on top using research, intelligence and class. Truly a thing of twisted beauty to see. Epic!



*on edit - Video here - http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=385x460540 I'm amazed at how restrained she was. If anyone ever deserved to be yelled it it was this guy from FAIR. Bravo to Rachel for keeping her cool even though she must have been really frustrated with his antics!

14. I found this man frightening. Threatening even. Vile temper. I was
glad Rachel was not in the same room with him.
