AFP President Tim Phillips Responds to Rachel Maddow's Attacks

[MForys]

Why is she so smug? BOTH sides actvely get million of dollars from sponsors to push their sides of the story. This guy gets money from companies that have in their best interest to stop this rediculously written heathcare bill. Just as the Obama campaign paid thousands of peole to attend his "grassroots" election rallys, and more recently, support-healthcare-reform rally's (I know, I was one of them), this guys organisations are paying to bus people from one rally to another who WANT to go.

AFP is not a front group - it is the conduit through which Koch Industries finances its front groups

[KIDKRUSH02]

we're not going to have canadas health care. and when all these people at the town hall meeting are just repeating glenn beck and sean hannity its clear they dont have there own brain. and i really didnt think dick head was nasty compared to some of the other shit people have been saying about rachel maddow. and i'll talk like an adult when you spell like one.

[09puppygirl09]

Are you serious?

Have you read the bill?

I HAVE !!

they will have direct access to your bank account and debit what they see fit each month weather you want the insurance or not.

It's like if your kids go to Private School, you still pay taxes for Public Schools....and have you looked at how well the Gov is doing with the Public School system?

[MForys]

@KIDKRUSH02 : How can you say that when you obviously dont watch Beck or Hannity much less have ever been to one of these town hall meetings? Aren't you just being hypocritical when all YOUR people do is share the same liberal-kool-Aid lib spinsters feed you too? Don't be a hater. ...

Honestly, read Obama's healthcare bill, &tell me specifically 5, un-related positive features of it, & Ill support it, (even with the mass of negatives such as the blatant pay-offs & state-wide tax exemptions)

[juanitapina]

kidrush02, look i'm 55 and no i think the gov. as a whole is corruped i've been voting 4 a long time and learned leasons along the way what i have the most prob. with is if you can't have an debate without getting nasty or use of fowel lang. keep quiet! as i said this is a forum for adults ACT LIKE ONE,AND for god sakes talk like one. I respect your opinion, respect others (don't be a hater

[joe80dman]

I just had a pleasant thought: Rachel Maddow falling from a 1000 foot cliff.

[KIDKRUSH02]

and fox news was the bitch to the bush white house. good call there. and even though Rove might be facing charges for firing democratic US attorneys foxs news still gives him air time. and can anyone tell me why we should be listening to the republicans. they failed failed failed. does anyone disagree with that, can anyone look at how bush and cheney left this country and think success anyone.

[juanitapina]

do you even know what you are talking about you sound like an abc (american barack channel) spokes person or are you acorn or my be one of the pet unions. Kid go back to school.you are ony rep.what you here on the news

[KIDKRUSH02]

ok juanita what did i say that was wrong was it about fox, rove bush, or cheney. and answer my question do you think bush did a good job or did he leave this country in a fucked up place? and dont repeat some dick head from fox news either.

[Cesca54]

'CANT BEAR THE CONFLICT WITH YOUR CORPORATE FUNDERS"

WOW what a cop out. What she meant to say is they pay me money to side with msnbc so even if I did agree with you, I would be fired. Chicken sh....t!!!

This network is so in bed with Obama. Rachel, I want to be around to pick up the pieces WHEN you finally see who the idiot in the White House really is.

[KIDKRUSH02]

i bet you same people who think theres a liberal bias in the media also think fox news isnt bias at all. and why dont you pussies at AforP show the whole interview. only liars edit. and can anyone tell me why phillips lied about taking money from exxon? dipshits

[LeGioNoFZioN]

no kiddie, fox news is biased, but then again so is every single news outlet in your entire country. I can't get the truth from any one network in your country.

lefties in your country are just as blinded to reality as right wingers. if only those who claimed independant of political parties were actual independant thinkers you would know all of your leaders are full of shit regardless of stripes.

[chavalamadlena]

Um, I ONLY hear complaints about George Soros spending money on his interests ... money he made in a capitalist country and spent on endeavors to fight communism in Europe ... nice "editing" by the way ...

Oh and those Criag's List ads ... WELL they must be hard solid evidence ...

[LeGioNoFZioN]

Soros also used his influence through his money to shut down projects in Romania, only to attempt to buy out the company and start up the again. Soros fund left fronts to avoid real attention to what he does. He is the personification of the stereotype of the evil industrialist who gains riches off the backs of the working poor.

[chavalamadlena]

My point was that he isn't a communist or communist-sympathizer in any way, I wasn't defending Soros, I was just pointing out how lame this guy's argument is, as opposed to bashing Maddow's physical appearance or whatever else retards are blathering on about on here.

[LeGioNoFZioN]

I don't know, maybe I wasn't reading the same thread you were. Geogre Soros is a piece of shit. the editing in this vid is no different that TPM or PoliticsNewsPolitics.  its a sign of the times if anything.

[danco35]

The real issue here is the blatant disgust that the left-sided media shows when regular Americans stand up and use their freedom of speech.

All Americans have the right to voice their opinions and ideas to their representatives and they should never be ashamed of it. Our President should be supportive of the different views and get his people back to work on the bill to make changes that would please more Americans rather than just one side of Capital Hill. A good President would do that.

[KIDKRUSH02]

hey fuck heads. why dont you watch the full version where phillips lies about taking money from exxon. and stop watching fox news you fucking dipshits. and watch chris matthews bitch slap phillips. i swear phillips looked like he was going to cry

[joe80dman]

@KIDKRUSH02: This isn't about left vs right, or Reps vs Dems anymore. Either way we're screwed. It's time to dump both of these corporate owned political entities, and get back to our Constitution. Oh, and the federal reserve has got to go too.

[collapseofthedollar]

btw the left IS paying for protesters w a s h i n g t o n d c dt c r a i g s l i s t dt o r g slsh d o c slsh n p o slsh 1 2 9 9 0 4 7 0 2 5 . dt ache tee em el

[juanitapina]

i THINK YOU NAME IS AWSOME!!!!!!!!

[Xxandera]

Could you have been any more FOR health care reform Rachel? Your body language and obvious dislike for people fighting AGAINST health-care reform is staggering. Your a reporter, your not supposed to display your affiliations publicly. You are supposed to be indifferent for the greater good of getting the news to the people, your democracy is showing and it doesn't look good on you. You shame your network and Americans, you make me sick. Democrats are going down hard. Got a life raft?

[z9y8x7w]

Conflict of Interest? Does she have "Interests" beyond playing "Lefty Lucy?" Rachel! Give it up!! The Revolution is here!!

[quizerry]

It is simple Big Governments have stagnet economies.

[RaceForTheTruth]

This wretched dyke pig belongs in a lesbian bar with a dildo up her gash.

PERIOD.

[dreamer216]

Let this Butch be under Obama's Health Care Reform. If she wants it, let her have it and leave those who don't alone!

[3marie2g]

Why can't the American people vote on this instead of our crappy career politicans?

[rpfullam]

What a sickeningly stupid bitch.

[papp531]

Shes getting porked by a few people she can't be for real!and she tries to act so educated! dumb bitch who worked her way up into that shit station nobody watches anyway!

[kalvis81]

Be easy on Ms. M....she hasn't seen a dick since Bill Clinton mistook her face for a urinal at the Happy Acres trailer park.

[hetropride]

hussein obama is advertizing on CraigsList for paid minions to shill his health care bill.

[VALivingston]

That was stunning to watch... Pure propaganda.

I've been to a town hall, saw the people protesting the house Bill. Nobody paid these people to do this.

And I saw the real astroturf come by with the printed signs right out of the obama campaign. They brought the megaphones to shout at people, they're the ones who were organized rushing around with one mind to generally be rude jerks. They were the ones with the epithets and threats in some cases.

This woman is bought and paid for.

[KIDKRUSH02]

yea sure shes paid for not afp, rachel is sure do you have any evidence you fucking dipshit. why dont you watch the full version of this video better yet watch chris mathews skull fuck tim phillips.

[VALivingston]

Wow, liberal intelligencia at it's finest!

There's not a scintilla of journalistic ethics on her part. I've watched it full length and I've watched other of her interviews -- it's called 'research,' it's a thing reasonable people do before making up their minds.

I've actually been to a town hall meeting and seen it first hand.  I'd lay money she hasn't.

As for Chris Matthews... if you can't see the bias in her presentation why would you notice it there either? Let's ask Pelosi, eh?

[mary110560]

I've always wondered if she has chosen to be "gay" and that is why she is so pro-facism!

[jnstomtom]

Government run health care = many more hard to fire government bureaucrats.

Britain's health bureaucracy is # 3 in size in the world, the larger ones are the Indian railway and the Red Chinese Army. Do we want a similar US bureaucracy, NO.

[jpelger55]

Is this lady crazy. Dosn't she know about ACORN and their busing people to the homes of AIG executives and intimidating voters.

[lbaker0315]

This idiot, along with all the other media puppets on The View, NBC, CNN, etc., need to look for new jobs. They project what Obama and his cronies are actually doing onto others - do they think as stupid as they are? Bunch of lying, self-serving hypocrites. Better start looking for new occupations (hopefully in other countries where they have socialized medine) because you sure as hell are not working for the American public!

[nhteaparty]

Watch this Maddow you fool.

watch?v=LB9KWq10VbY

[nhteaparty]

This woman is an ass plain and simple.

[sportsgurl4223]

She's a hater. I loved how she sat there and kept talking about "corporate sponsors" while ignoring the George Soros connection on the left. Unbelievable hypocrisy.

[tmscad]

Just look at the right side of this page and check out Phil Kerpens response to this stupid bitches comments. MadCow is such a lier. She doesn't even know when she's doing it. She works for one of the biggest economic whores around, GE. Who is sponsoring Obama. GE is taking our taxes and using them to project their views on the masses and all the sheep out there are eating it up. Drink some more cool aid MadCow, you'll need it when your out of a job.

[TomMikeAvaMilan]

This is garbage .. She can't even controll her facial expressions. She studied jounalism under Stalin...  Why does'nt MSNBC just say they are in the tank for Obama ? Maybe that would give them some form of honesty. Instead of pretending to being a neutral news media person reporting the real news...

[Beeirish1965]

R.W.,

This is true Obama State run media at its best. He-she-it actual thinks people care what he-she-it says. The joke on you dude! Doesn't he-she- it- look and sound like a dude? Wow, we are having the last laugh at YOU -R.W. because you are fool, moron, and your propaganda is a sophomoric argument! No wonder why MSNBC (your) rates continue to plummets!

[JeanInman]

This woman with her smirks and nasty sarcastic responses puts her right in the same ballpark with Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton. For that reason we need to implement a Cash For Cluckers program and trade these wenches in for more efficient models.

[TomMikeAvaMilan]

Welcome to the controlled government media. This alone is worth fighting for. The writing is so on the wall.. It's ashame that most could not see marxism in the making... Take our country back. NOW.

[catb55]

BTW... if you want to know what the left is doing --- look to what they accuse others of --- it is called PROJECTION. They are doing what they accuse everyone else of!

[catb55]

SO THE LEFT (OBAMA) ISN'T PAYING PEOPLE TO ORGANIZE? Then what are those adds on Craig list doing! It won't let me post a link but you can find them! Obama Healthcare and search!

This is one messed up broad! (or man I really can't tell)

[lfrench19]

she is NASTY!!!!!!

[bbfmail]

When I first saw her (?)...I thought she (?) was a transgender man who hadn't completed the operation. Am still not sure about the gender question.

[bradcasting101]

Mr. Maddow should take an official position within the Obama Administration like some of her colleagues in the agenda-driven-media have already done and dispense with the pretense of objectivity.

[georgie1]

Right....she could be the Czar of Obnoxious Smirks....or the Czar of Lefty Lies.

[tmscad]

It's sad that any TV station would try to use a puppet like Rachel to push their political agenda and do it in such a sarcastic way. She thinks by smirking and laughing that people will thinks she's actually making a point. She's a joke and a virus that is running ramped in our country and our youth are being lead by them because they don't know the facts. We need to be as rude as the left in these matters and boycot the products this and other shows like it are sponsored by.

[ratbstard718]

Sadly every news outlet used the 'Smirk and Laugh' tactic against Ron Paul during the Presidential primaries. I choose to keep track of all the propagandists MSM and think FOX is just as guilty. It just so happens that currently they are getting it right but that's by accident.

[juanitapina]

no watch carefully they RESEARCH any smat person would do the same!

[tmscad]

This stupid wench is on her way out along with MSNBC and will never work on a real new show. Can you believe she can't bare the conflict with the corporate funders. she can't stand the heat because she has no real argument to counter the truth only making faces and laughing. It's obvious, she's from the same intellectual gean pool as Obama and his cronies. No real substance, all facade.

[tmscad]

If this stupid bitch would have watched a real new station (Fox News) she would have seen that Obama bussed in hundreds of leftists to his town meeting so he wouldn't have to answer any real questions, because every time he speaks without a teleprompter he slips up and lets the cat out of the bag. Everyone says how intelligent Obama is but all I see is a total idiot. I can't believe the youth of this country fell for his lies. It's just way too obvious he's a socialist.

[juanitapina]

It's funny that people think fox and others lay in bed at night thinking of ways to conform us OH PLEASE. like we don't have our own brains i do research as well as watch the news you r so correct!

[Sinead522]

Rachel MadCow is Keith Olberman's evil twin sister. That sarcastic smirk on her face just irritates the crap out of me.

[georgie1]

Totally agree...cannnot stand to watch her/Olbermann/Matthews or Obummer for that matter!They are all fabricators and absolute liars!!

[ogd3474]

she is one angry lesbian.

[tmscad]

MSNBC, NBC, CBS and CNN are all in bed with Obama and expect us to believe they are reporting news and not propaganda. Have you ever seen a real news commentator laugh at someone expressing their opion? It's so obvious that they are lead around by the left. You can actually see the ring in their nose if you look hard enough. We just need to keep up the fight and truth and justice will always prevail.

[UKFanCO]

Who are the "corporate funders" that she is referring to? They must be big evil corporations, unlike GE, which manufactures sunshine and lollipops and hope and change.

[huzzy33]

This woman is an idiot!!!!!

Keep up the good work Tim!!!

[irisheyes2c]

That's what liberals do to mock and ridicule the oppositions to marginalize them and say it doesnt matter. They believe that its all fake and made up protests because that is what they do. Their logic is if we do it, then they must be as well.  God didnt give them brains, but damn he sure did given huge egos. It was sickening watching them use a young girl to ask a question. The question was written on an index card, and everyone always walks around with index cards in their pocketbooks.

[Debwesty]

Girl's Mom is a big Obama supporter and She had met Obama family before this town hall meeting. This woman is a idiot

[MsProudRepublican]

The numbers for the uninsured is inflated by those who are illegal aliens, those who who could afford it but don't want to...we are revamping our health care to take care of the few. This woman, she is so biased you will never convince her. Talk about ethics and conflict of interest these people are poster children it. We are going to have to make ourselves heard in the streets of our cities, in the town halls of America because the main stream media will not tell the truth. DEFEAT THIS BILL.

[juanitapina]

the bill is being put through for those few to secure dem. votes! they r rewarding people for breaking our laws!!!! bottom line keep up the fight for everyone. people should be careful what they wish for. I lived under canada health plan so I do know what I am talking about and don't need the news to know the score thank you msproudRepublican YES YOU R !!! and smart!!

[skihillsan]

This woman is unwatchable!

[azporta]

Of course, Rachel has no corporate funders..... ahahahohohehhehharharsnortsnor­tyukyukyuuuuuuuk

[lessastone]

That's it, any product that pays to advertise on this nasty woman's show will be boycotted by me and everyone I know for life..Meadow is a mean elitist condescending bitch who will never make it to any network people actually watch

[Cowboy2Love]

She is a do nothing mouth, that eats other woman. What do you expect. I think she should be strung up, stripped down to her skin, and slowly sprayed with hydrochlric acid. ONE INCH at a time. Faggot people who are sick like her are VERMIN! You cannot talk to VERMIN and rid yourself of it. YOU HAVE TO KILL it to get it out of the barnyard.

I hope she gets hit by a mack truck....

[3martijns]

She's not worth the effort. MSLSD ratings are at the bottom, so she is going down with the ship.

[2BoBornot2BoB]

Check that.....hypocritical, judgemental, mean spirited, elitist, lying jerks

[2BoBornot2BoB]

Liberals are such jerks.
