(R-OR) Art Robinson Throws Hissy Fit On Rachel Maddow!!! - Pt. One

[TugsN]

RETARD!!!!!!!!!!!

Argh The stupid it burns.

[llamalover02]

OMG SHUT UP ART!!!!

[journeyer58]

How F@%^n' infuriating!

[sfaster]

Art Robinson is a jerk. His own community of Cave Junction (Illinois Valley)

can't stand him..............Now he's running again and is old and senile more

than ever.............

[mapleleaves85]

See..sometime I do like Republicans when it comes to interviewing jerks....they will simply shouted down to the moron and threaten to cut off the mic if they wont stop talking...that is what Rache needed to do here....just tell the f***ker to answer her questions or else cut his mic. I am from Oregon and I am ashamed of this guy attitude and manners

[jrwel14]

Why do many Conservative politicians not want to be on her show? Because she has a great way of showing their lies. This is a great example.

[jrwel14]

He's the typical Conservative politician!!

[jrwel14]

Rachel is te best! Funny all the comments that conservatives have given me . Saying that Rachel lies. When, the video that shows the proof of what she is saying is right there!

[IdentifyWithResearch]

Wow. This guy is a mess...too scared to answer her questions and desperately trying to stop her from asking them. It's too bad the video stopped before the "interview" ended.

[lindadelaceyify]

Rachel Maddow will not let him talk when in fact he is saying the truth.

I think the dems are just as phony as the republicans.

The Health Care that was crammed down our throats. The back door deals

that went on behind our backs. What a scam all of it really is. They all lie and

they do not care one bit about you or I. They care about the money and that

is a fact.

[JjNEWQ]

This guy didn't answer one fucking question! HA! Oh man.

[EeyoreWhyBother]

Wow! Maddow has A LOT of patience. I would have just cut him off and moved on to another story.

[edsweb7]

It's sad that this guy has been allowed to run for congress and was not seen to be as Sick as he is. It's just sad to see that he's not getting help !!!

[RaptorClaws24]

She's smiling, but you're in so much trouble. Getting so red faced and shouting over your own words being read back on TV is a definite sign that he's ashamed of them. Thank goodness this fool wasn't elected.

[stewcaton]

This guy has also published research claiming cigarettes are not unhealthy, guess who funded that research...

[shaynapunim1]

I'm not a scientist, but my hypothesis is that he's so hostile 'cause he hasn't been laid in 15 years.

[lindadelaceyify]

@shaynapunim1

[eVVVVV]

Wow this guy doesn't have the courage to answer these simple questions in good faith. I think Maddow 'had' him with each question so he's just trying to squirm out of the responsibility of answering honestly. Just think what he'd be like in office.

[LongStrangeTripster]

Typical GOPBagger interview. Talk over the interviewer so you don't have to answer the questions at hand.

[deveousdevil]

the global warming issue is so amazing. Neo-cons blame cows for their methane saturated farts, but yet quadrillions of tons of hot carbon and methane gas apparently have NO effect on this planet. then what the hell does? except for cow farts of course

[MrPedroPietro]

WHAT THE FUCK?! HOR-MESIS!

[Suitecake]

...holy shit.

This dude is a grampa-asshole, and should stay a grampa-asshole, and should not win an election.

I thought Oregon kicked ass.

[gooyzit]

@Suitecake

in the 1920s oregon was a haven for the KKK.

[sfaster]

Wow it's nutty old Art. He'll be gone in a few days returning to his ranch

to do some more experiments on his monkeys..............

[louiscaponecchia]

can somebody just shoot this stupid old fuck in the face? jesus fucking christ, what an annoying crotchety dumb shit.

[SelsdonMowbray]

Well, Rachel, turns out you DID find out who Art is. Well done!

[rebjiii]

art robinson's grasp of reality is tenuous at best.....just like beck's grasp.

listening to art robinson prattle about global warming is comparable to listening to lindsey lohan on the topic of sobriety,

what art robinson knows about meteorology and physics could fit into the reservoir tip of a condom.

[Arachnobama]

I live 3 miles away from this guy, after seeing this i'm sure all the stories i have heard about him are true. I do not feel comfortable living near a man who wrote a home schooling program called "Jesus + Nothing Else" to have an underground survival base with Brainwashed children and doing scientific experiments on his 9 month old dead wife and who knows what else.. Will the Wealthy or the Worthy survive?

[kargenlewis]

blah blah blah. if your fooled by old bush politics then f you!

why dont republicans take responsibility for helping bush murder millions and destroying america? clinging to the fact that there are some corrupt dems doesnt justify anything and i wonder how u f'n sleep at night. f you republicans pigs!

[Graphaks]

What a freakshow!!

[LockeXIII]

Wow, this motherfucker could not BE more shady.

[sfaster]

Art is true kookiness and I'm a republican. I'm ashamed that he's all we had

to represent us in Southern Oregon.

I will be voting for DeFazio as he leans to be an independent and

I know his work ethics and his past accomplishments...........

[johnybroadway10]

GOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[phunkroller]

this is awesome

[alloutacash]

This guy is a dangerous douchebag.

[FallenAngelIII]

Is he capable of doing ANYTHING besides spewing his own talking points? Who does he think he is? This is Maddow's TV show, she's conducting an interview. Any curteous and, you know, SANE person would simply answer the questions.

[Bobsacamano1000]

Watching Maddow just go crazy frustrated with this guy is fun! I think she should have trolls on her show more often.

[jongalbreath]

I thought she was interviewing Creed Bratton! :D

[OmniphonProductions]

As an independent thinker, who hates both parties/agendas/extremes equally, I vehemently believe Rachel Maddow (and most of her network) is a tool/mouthpiece for the Democratic Party and it's most liberal members. HOWEVER, as an Oregonian, I'm ashamed to even admit this man is from here. I fear is that Independents will think he is a good representation of all Republicans. He refuses to answer questions about his own words because his position is politically and socially indefensible.

[MiracleMile90]

@OmniphonProductions: Well......she isn't perfect, but then again she has done some good work in the past.............including the expose of the James O'Keefe scam.

[gilbertruong]

This guy is hilarious! he hasn't answered one question yet!

[Kennyvert]

Anderson Cooper, please come out this year. I know you're a news guy and you want others to see you as neutral as possible on all issues, but so many kids who are contemplating suicide could be given so much hope to see someone like them who has made it in this world and is making it a better place. Please Anderson, give them that hope. I come out, nothing really happens. You come out, it could change the world.

[wewatch007]

HI Art... Oregon here!

Listen if you want to look all folksy and all in your Carthart coat.... you might want to actually look like you lifted your finger to WORK.

Mr Defazio is the man, and we shall see in NOV baby!

[Delia007]

"Claiming Rachel Maddow was trying to smear him by using his own quotes taken out of context,"

Well, you have to admit, his own quotes make him seem pretty crazy. Though not nearly as loony as the cranky old fit he launched once he got started. I was going to vote for DeFazio anyway because he's a really good congresscritter, but I'll take extra pleasure in voting against this maniac.

[Marchant2]

Typical Rightie. Don't look at my sins, look at my opponents.

[chewbaca1989]

I'd vote for my local butcher to get my congressman out...

Dem, Rep, Tea Party, Green anybody but my Congressman. Yes, nothing will be done. Nothing ought to be done, the Gov.s done enough.

[mynameis677]

Robinson was trying to stall REALLY badly.

He didn't bother to listen to the question or to answer them so he has no reason to complain if everyone has "taken him the wrong way".

He seems to be enjoying the attention. Someone take him back to his retirement home. He's obviously senile.

[egrog225]

Here's more on Art Robinson, in his own words, his first scary experience with integration: the El Sombrero door was suddenly filled by a tough-looking character whose dark skin perfectly matched his leather jacket. The first rule of survival in such situations being no eye contact, I immediately became unusually attentive to the discussion underway at our table.

shudder. It turns out this person who walked in the door was a "fellow colleague."

[HermieHedgehog]

I'm voting for DeFazio just to make sure this idiot doesn't get in.

[samnyc2]

Kids -- Don't ever through a ball on his or John McCain's porch -- you won't get it back, they will keep it!!

[johnpatricio]

Not only is this guy nuts, he's rude too. What a jerk.

[gigololounging]

This man is a danger to the status quo supporting the zionist agenda. Happily the voters are hip to the deception and the days of those destroying the USA in order to install zionist world government are numbered.

[MiracleMile90]

@gigololounging: STFU, Robinson is one of the crook...........and 'Zionist World Gov't' is a lie concocted by these SAME PEOPLE that control Robinson.

[luchpockets]

He is a perfect Republican: doesn't listen, won't answer questions, twists things whether true or false to his liking to further his own propaganda !

Robinson, Just answer regarding your own writings !

Damn, Robinson is annoying !

[ColloidalWarrior]

New Zealand is NOT a tax Haven...

[HayyyChristiann]

Art Robinson is a crazy old man who is just out to spread conspiracy theories. He sets up fake "debates" that DeFazio knows nothing about just to draw attention to himself. He publishes things then blatantly denies he ever did. He outright lies. He lives in a survivalist camp and sells racist "home-schooling" curriculum while he advocates the abolishment of public schools.. how convenient. I will NOT be voting or supporting Arrogant Art in this election. I actually have brains.

[annilyna]

I almost feel sorry for Republican Oregonians. What a nut job. Good job Rachel for not muting his microphone so you can get ONE word in. Takes a lot more patience than I have.

[horusthesin]

@onefodderunit

If you like/trust/gonna vote for Art Robinson then you qualify as a "goon/goon supporter"...This guy is seriously trying to skirt every subject thrown at him as a "smear" when the subjects are HIS QUOTES and quite stupidly INSANE!

You are right I do not represent all of Oregon...just the sane Oregonians

[llamalover02]

@horusthesin lol was going to say the same...

[hipstermi]

@rayme4raw

"Art is awesome, Rachel got served"

How did she get  "served" ? (thought that catch phrase was for bad movies about dancing...)

The guy didn't answer any qyestions. Even by 1995 standards, his writing on AIDS was conspiracy theory bullshit. More about conservative viewpoints than actual science. Can you comment on that instead of immature "serving"?

[khaustic]

@rayme4raw You realize he's a crazy person, right?

[TheKhoraCubtain]

shes awesome

[Jrazza]

It takes a certain kind of insanity to look at this man and think "...Hey, he seems like a pretty smart guy!"

[beatsbytheory]

Robinson doesn't deserve one vote nor the consideration of one, especially if he doesn't even know the definition of sarcasm. Good job Rachel.

[kurd55]

Wow! A REAL mad scientist! Totally daft! Ugh!

[steelty]

What a fucking nut.

[Coelacanth1938]

I can't believe what I just saw. The last time I saw an old coot like this was on the bus. He was going from passenger to passenger trying to sell colloidal silver products while screaming about Jimmy Carter and crooked Climate Warming research. 

[jackson23220]

he is INSANE!

[utubeorey]

I am ashamed to say I grew up in SW Oregon...

[Isaracing]

@MIACARLSON1 Yep, it is what we think we need. I want to know if this guy thinks AIDS is a myth, and I want to know if he believes in hormesis especially since he is a scientist and hormesis is not widely accepted. Also, Mr. Robinson only wanted to talk about how bad the incumbent was, not about anything he wanted to do. He talked over her the entire time and he could have said what he wanted to do, not what the incumbent did wrong.

[smorgan007]

@MIACARLSON1 After going through and actually finding the issue of Mr. Robinson's newsletter that this was taken from, and finding that he was neither misquoted nor was it taken out of context, I believe that this is a valid issue for the viewers of this program. She represents a wide variety of people, but it has been obvious that she fights for the LGBT Alliance which makes her question on whether or not he still believes this fiction a very, very valid point for her viewers.

[tamcon72]

@MIACARLSON1

Ahem, the interview goes south when she insists on getting an answer about the relative legality of the anonymous150K, a legitimate pertinent query. He dodges, initially, rambling about his opponent(sorry sir, this isn't Fox--no free campaigning here), then, when she keeps at the question of the money's source, he loses his bottle and starts spazzing. Note his body language. He is not on here for an interview;  he wants her to pay him obeisance. How DARE she refuse, grrr!

[PatriotWatchUSA]

@tamcon72 Ummmm it's none of your business. You got to be kidding me right? Worry about OBAMA

[tamcon72]

@PatriotWatchUSA

Ummmm, there are these things called campaign finance laws and, Patriot Watch dude, just because you people discount the existence of laws does not mean they don't exist, and that a legitimate politician doesn't have to abide by them. Duh.

We who actually know these things wish all of you well on your mass exodus to the lawless laissez faire paradise of Somalia. Good luck, and Bon Voyage!

[LadyNightthorn]

@MIACARLSON1 Yes, how dare she ask him about something he himself said in a public newsletter. How does she have the nerve to ask his opinion on subjects he's supposed to be an expert in.

Get Real!

[realitywhor]

This guy is a fucking nutjob!

[divad838]

God bless you Rachel. I don't know how you made it through that shit show.

[evelynjoyce]

Hmmm...who could be funding this loon? I'll wager it's Koch Industries aka Big Oil.

[drunkenbluto]

Forget Mr Robinson's insane views & unethical actions for a moment. The man is utterly incapable of having a conversation, much less a civilized political debate. He should have "kook" tattooed on his forehead.

[vincentvangoad]

@BrinkmanTraining If by clobbered you mean simply yelled over by this nutjob, then yes you are are correct. She was "clobbered".

You have to give her credit though for not pulling an O'Reilly and asking for his mic to be cut. The best way to deal with insane people is to just let them talk.

[d84jennings]

:) loves this, this guy is a nut! I love he it was a straight yes or no answer and he does not want to say if he still believes that Aids is a government conspiracy. People in OR's 4th, Please learn about your wakadoo candidate.

[JussFoDaLaffsx]

LOL "I CAN SHOW YOU SARCASM" SO GOOD ROFL.

[justonefirefly1]

Why is this nut case saying everything he says is out of context or that was yesterday? What an idiot? There is no communicating with a crazy asshole.

[mrcb20476]

This guy made her look like a complete partisan hack. She looked like a fool trying to drag up 15 year old studies and take snippets of vast scientific debate to discredit him. The was priceless. I wish I could vote for Dr. Robinson.

[dscroggs4]

@mrcb20476 if you believe that you are in a very large miniority he made himself look awful, how do you take something out of context when you are "quoting" his writing?

[OeditpusRex]

@mrcb20476 I bet you wish you could vote for Hermann Göring, too.

[HenhousetheRed]

I like the part where Art didn't answer a single one of her questions. He basically took the interview to smear his opponent, then just smeared himself by looking so insane.

[itachi000797]

This man is delusional.

[mushroomhead777]

OMFG!!! Anyone who lives in Oregon, PLEASE vote for Pete Defazio so this moron doesn't win.

[adamsfall]

And the Teabagger travelling sideshow again rolls into town.

[deadmantyping2]

Typical Southern Oregon nut job. LOL

[cxa2500]

Here in Oregon we have had our share of nuts, flakes, etc. such as the Bagwan and the Rajneeshi--Robinson is just another example.

[chgosatrap]

Art is a witch.  No, wait, he is a demon.

[supafly345]

I've never seen Maddow get so indignant with someone. It really takes a lot for her to completely stop showing respect for someone, no matter how little they deserve it.

[1lastsoldier]

... why did this guy agree to this interview? this guys is way to obnoxious to be in politics.

[darchiefan]

That was painful.....for him.

[vanessafabulay]

Great questions--it's a shame Robinson couldn't seem to stand behind anything he has said in the past.

[mrekbass]

This guy is an ass-hole!

The entirety of the right wing nuttery base believes that they cant get a fair shake in the so called "liberal media" yet when hey are asked simple questions they become hostile. This putz is obviously getting donations from questionable business groups, below board, and he doesn’t want to discuss it. Every one of these right-wingers has made complete a-holes of themselves in recent weeks without any assistance from the media, left or right! Fucking crybabies!!

[MiracleMile90]

@mrekbass: What's really sad, is that sane conservatives are starting to get a bad rap because of idiots like Robinson.

[kwb70652]

Well, Robinson lost the election with this interview, if he hadn't already.

[devanteSwing22]

@kwb70652 lol i saw the interview last night and he is pitiful.

[Isaracing]

This guy is nuts! Search Art Robinson is Crazy on Facebook for the group.

[anamoebacorn]

Why does it seem like Rachel Maddow always ends up trying to educate the conservatives that come on her show about the simple format of answering the questions that she asks while they talk over her...as well as the definitions of "smear" and "sarcasm"
