Last night I disagreed with Rachel on two counts

[malaise]

One - the RWs don't have their own set of facts. They have their own set of beliefs. Facts are proven and there is only one interpretation of Article 1 re Separation of church and state,

Two - Why the fuck did she agree to help that Bushco hack sell her book. Fuck Nicole Wallace. I won't spend a penny to enrich that fascist RW piece of crap.

1. I have to agree with you on count two...couldn't for the life of me figure out..

..why that bush-worshipper was on her show...

[deaniac21]

2. All TV shills need an audience.

3. Are we being unfair to Rachel??? The only way this country will

make progress is if both parties participate. The Guests
Rachel has interviewed are not RWNuts.

We know if the RWers win this election, the Left side
of the spectrum are going to be as angry as the Righties
are right now. Gridlock.

My point is we have to learn to accept rational Republicans.
That does not mean we accept their philosophy. it means
we are rational enough to treat them with civility and
listen to what they have to say.

[Lint Head]

5. I have yet to meet or see a rational republican.

That is an oxymoron.

[compassion now]

7. Republicans can't be rational

To be a repubber requires that you drop your senses at the door.

4. One is semantics, they think their beliefs are facts and act on them as such

Two is Maddow has insane difficulty booking pukes because they are running scared and know she will expose a weak spot so she probably will take any one that will come on with a name or something she can pounce on.

Why let the neocon shill sell her crappy book is a similar question as why waste good cheese on a mouse trap.

Seed corn. She needs to get them to come on or she is limited in a way that hampers her mission to get the truth out because she can't get chances to extract it from their own lips and also gets pigeonholed as an echo chamber.

8. Rachel cannot simply preach to the choir and affect change.

Her audience has to have more than just Democrats. She needs
to expand her audience--she is always under this pressure.
We need to encourage more Dems to watch her as she really
stands up for our values but she will always be under pressure
to expand her audience. Her job depends on it.

We want to be successful. We have to get some Republicans.

BTW, many of us have families. Some of our family is Republican.
They are not nut cases. This makes me no less a Liberal.
I understand all Republicans are not these whacko Tea Party types.

[TheKentuckian]

9. Right on.

[Lint Head]

6. You're correct. Repubs have never met a fact they could not

warp into a frame just this side of the Twilight Zone.

[OHdem10]

11. I say it is time Democrats learn to frame and play hard ball.

[Winterblues]

10. I loved the remark she made about how Republicans cringe

when they watch Rachel because Rachel brings their faults into very sharp focus. Republicans watch Rachel, that should be the news...
