This guy on Rachel (DeFazio's competition, Art Robinson) is an ASSHOLE!
Edited on Thu Oct-07-10 08:49 PM by babylonsister
He won't shut up, state his views, talks over her, and she's trying to get a straight answer out of him, which seems totally impossible.

Accusing Maddow of interrupting?! :wtf:

Claims she's using sarcasm? :wtf:

1. Typically Puke yelling over her, not admitting to anything.
I finally had to shut it off. I'm sending some $$ to DeFazio.

4. That was way beyond typical.
I've never seen anything quite like it.

2. Not watching, but Rachel is the most, just the facts, ma'am, interviewer I've seen
in years. Sounds like I'm not missing anything.

3. I was watching the interview...
I had to walk away as this Asshole was not even letting Rachel ask a question. He's not the first Puke to do this on her show, but it makes me nuts when they won't let her carry on a decent, civilized interview. This is the Puke way in interviews - don't let the other person talk, talk over them and malign the interviewer's character. These jerks aren't even worth interviewing - you already know damned well what they're going to say.

25. I can hear the keyboards going crazy
in the TRMS World Headquarters digging up more on this guy for tonight's show. They'll be typing up the script "at the speed of light."

Rachel is not likely to let this go!

29. It was painful to watch and even more painful to think
that nutbag was probably so very proud of himself for having put that "dyke bitch" in her place. I almost couldn't watch it, but I thought if Rachel could stand it, so could I. Than again, I'm not getting paid the megabucks she is... :)

5. Exposing the nutballs one at a time
He had some interesting coaching. Someone counseled him that he better start slinging every piece of hash in his head to try and make her look unprofessional. But it backfired badly. Very badly.

10. Good point, eleny. That's exactly what she did-exposed a nutjob!
That video might be all over the place before we know it. I hope!

6. Angry, belliggerent RETHUG misogynist.
Edited on Thu Oct-07-10 09:05 PM by hlthe2b
I have had the misfortune to have known many men like that (sadly, we are starting to seem RETHUG women emulate that behavior as well). I'd bet my bottom dollar Robinson is an alcoholic or dry drunk and undoubtedly abuses family and others--at least verbally. Angry and caustic. I hope the voters got a good look at this ass.

Reminds me of the "Great Santini" only far more abusive and unredeemable.

16. He's getting piles of dough from some shell company called
'Concerned Taxpayers of America' which DeFazio exposed on an earlier Rachel show. Shady mystery money from outside of Oregon. Piles of it.

15. A raving Asshole indeed.
Here is a link to our local Weekly' current letters to the editor. One about DeFazio 'dog lover' and one about Robinsonuts, called 'ice age policies'. Some local flavor.

27. And he's a good scientist... everybody says so...
We have kooks like this where I teach - he's a self absorbed pseudo-scientist, his writings are laughable, and his biggest claim to fame is taking cash to write a bogus "anti-global warming" manifesto.

30. I had to laugh
when I saw Rachel finally just put her head down on the desk...lol. She even tried to explain about the sat delay but he just accused her of trying to get him. What really cracked me up was him calling her a liar when she was reading from his newsletter...lol. It was late but I went to his website and called the number on there...lol. Sounded like a home office when the guy answered...lmao. If you want some fun, go call that number and ask a question...lol

32. I actually had fun watching his teabaggery meltdown
Rachel simply laughed at the end while he was consumed with facial ticks, fingers jabbing and poking into the air at her and swiveling in his chair in a way that brought Linda Blair to mind. All that was missing was green vomit.

And she just kept hammering no matter how hard he screamed. She just kept quoting his newsletters and it just made him more and more hysterical.

It was fascinating to watch.
