Rachel Maddow's Campaign Asylum - Stop Being Stupid on Iraq

[1982mockingbird1982]

But its still true that the Iraqi government, puppet or not, is failing to to look after its citizens. Just because America made some questionable decision on Iraq doesnt mean the current polity should shy away from speaking out on the problems there. If anything they have a responsibility to make sure they dont leave Iraq in a worse state than before they invaded it.

[deadleader1]

@1982mockingbird1982 what?..velu killed tamils for funn?..lol

[Robo1415]

Where is the anti-war movement now,Madcow?

[fuck5ofu]

this women is hot. i bet she likes long dicks

[MsDeGeneresFan]

@fuck5ofu actually she doesn't

[DarkAngel0125]

Yes, we must focus on the equanomy!

[TarantulaArms]

But Obama in Afghanistan is just FINE! Maddow couldn't be any less attractive if she appeared in a jock and a strap on.

[dewerbylhserf]

America is a toilet bowl. GAY IS SIN

[Micaiah2004]

STUPID = RACHEL MADDOW, OLBERMOUTH, NOBAMA, NOBAMA ZOMBIES...SUPER STUPID...

[sharper68]

@stitchedplate41 - You have no clue, hate is what I see from the rabid right that wants to ban fellow Americans from getting married, from clowns who wear hand guns and carry signs with swastikas on them. Hate is not saying what you think about bad policies and being honest and not towing the corporate line. Every time I hear a right winger say the left is full of hate i imagine they should be choking on the raw hypocrisy of that act, it is shocking they do not.

[misty8924]

lol ppl rate down on the ppl who dont say anything yea smart [not!] *SIGH*

[darmokandgalad]

Yeah I really wish Rachel wasn't a lesbian because she's hot and smart and I want to fuck her.

[kisame426]

damn she is so hot....

and derekthecomic is fuckin right.... she is a LEZBIAN AND BASICALLY DRESSES LIKE A MAN but DAMN!

i dont know its like i think she looks hot lol!

[0mnipotent0verlord]

I love her so much.

[FreedomAintFree1]

What the hell is Air America? Some FAILED radio station?

[bluegrrl70]

"Et tu, Hillary?" Lol.

[bluegrrl70]

rachel rocks.

[basementmoron]

What? HibbIbahibidahib! I'm just taking lessons from the leberals and how they talk about republicans. Come on! What is good for the lazy liberals is surly good for the hard working republicans. The far-left is a nasty chapter in American history and will end after Obama! NO SOCIALISM!

McCain and Palin in 2008!

[basementmoron]

Rachel is THE ONE partisan hack along with her friend Olbermann. They both should be shot for treason! Why not? they both are completly dedicated to the ruin of the USA and the founding ideals ..no fat-head-douche-bags and no women with a adams apple!

Really and seroisly, Rachel is horrible!

[irridiastarfire]

Nice idea. Kill people to protect US "founding ideals". *sigh*

[suexian]

This clip demonstrates once again that Rachel is not just another partisan hack.

[suexian]

Maddow's MSNBC Show starts tomorrow !!!

[DerekTheComic]

I don't know why...but I'm attracted to her. I know she's a lesbian...but damn. She's really intelligent and that's very sexy to me. Rachel, I would fuck you. Just putting that out there.

[sylviasoven]

Absolutely adore Rachel. She's incredibly gifted, intelligent, and funny. Congrats on the new show.

[cleftronix]

Hahahaha her ratings on Air America speak for itself. LOLOL What a joke.

[d3p3ch3mod3]

Yeah because Limbaugh was "The Godfather" right from the start.

[moogle301]

but what about her TV show ratings? I heard they're very good

[hwydaddy]

RM is the bomb! She should run for President she'll get my vote, luv her show, you go girl.

[bearfjord]

oh and ..vote McCain.

[bearfjord]

Rachel is a lazy-eyed mouth breather. Hebiabadahibbida --SURE! HECK! This fool Rachel is as sure a sign as we can get that far-left liberals are loons.

[trakkaton]

Why are the Democrats and their candidates displaying the same ridiculous lies? Because the US has a one-party-system. The Democrats are just the ringt wing, while the Republicans are the far right wing. Everything they say is absolutely detached from reality, from numbers and facts. It's a front. Divide et impera. Happy banksters!

[grosquipue]

I am in love with this woman!

[gnr4evr06]

Fuck that ugly, deep voiced, rug munching dyke. Someone please kill Maddow now!

[bearfjord]

HATE RACHEL, nothing more.

[punkloo]

LOVE RACHEL, nothing less.

[bearfjord]

Our presance in the mideast is so necessary. Oil is the life-blood of the U.S.and if you don't see that then you are blind.That is the only reason we care about that part of the world. Be honest with yourself as you climb up into your suv!

[booley]

Looking through the comments, the I can't help but notice that all the people who hate her can discuss how she's gay and has short hair and they hate her voice.

But somehow can't point out anyplace where what she's saying is wrong.

You know,with those things called Facts. Liberals do not own the truth. The truth is not ours or yours or thier's.

So why is that conservatives can so rarely come up with anything true? Millions of Liberals knew Iraq was going to end badly. why didn't you?

[techno370]

i love this womans voice. she is very smart and articulate. the fact that she is gay or not has nothing to do with her comments. she speaks the truth

[bearfjord]

You have got to be kidding me! That condescending inflective voice could peel paint off a battleship!!

Her voice is so terrible.

Sure she is smart ..unfortunatly, we know she is very qualified to teach at any university.

She only speaks your truth!

[techno370]

hey dummy. id rather hear her than listen to that inbred sean hannity. one of your types.

[bearfjord]

hey dummy. id rather hear him then listen to that inbred colmes. one of your types.

[techno370]

you are the type of idiot that votes for the current president and then whine about gas prices

[bearfjord]

No I'm not.

[trakkaton]

"She only speaks your truth" - are you kidding? "Your truth"? Are YOU kidding?

What word was it exactly that you didn't understand, you genius? "Occupation"? "Puppet government"? "Surge of the surge"?

[bearfjord]

trakkaton- no i'm not kidding. Go hug your far-left media. msnbc says it's so so it must be. Step up into your fat suv and tell me who is to blame.

[trakkaton]

I repeat:

"She only speaks your truth" - are you kidding? "Your truth"? Are YOU kidding?

What word was it exactly that you didn't understand, you genius? "Occupation"? "Puppet government"? "Surge of the surge"?

There is no such thing as "your truth", IDIOT! I do not own nor drive a car, IDIOT! Nor would I chose a SUV, IDIOT! MSNBC is citing UNDISPUTED facts, IDIOT! They are not giving some opinion, IDIOT! MSNBC is right-wing, IDIOT!

[bearfjord]

trackkaton- so, what you are trying to say is that I'm a idiot. You think I'm a genius too?-Thanks! So,public trans is your mode? Well,it's magic!-how all the tracks,side walks etc got there! OIL that's it! a lot of oil!What divivered your birkenstocks remind me?Surge is working. Occupation is necessary for now and you'd think any success is a puppet gov(unless it was set up by a Clinton). One more thing, vote McCain.

[gofthunder]

To the overly sensitive individuals below.I don't worry if she is gay either.I'm not sure if she is.I simply loathe this personality. Ofcourse we as humans tend to sometimes go for the easy attack and I did. If she wants to look like Matthew Broderick then that is her choice. I have plenty else to say about it besides her looks.

[SuperNerdFace]

I don't care whether she's gay or straight. I don't care whether she's a "he" or a "she." Rachel Maddow has a PhD from Oxford University in political science. I think it's safe to say that, regardless of her sexual oritentation, she is EXTREMELY intelligent.

[parulkarg]

I only have two words to the name calling pricks below who can't debate on issues and get really upset and start using filthy language when introduced to facts.

TRUTH HURTS !!!!!!

[Srhandel]

SHUT UP U FUGLY DYKE B*TCH. When are you getting your sex change operation to have your penis and adam's apple removed????

[gofthunder]

...you forgot about"her"shaved unit-brow. It dose have a bump in its pants too..you're right!

[StrangeDayDoors]

Oh shut up you ignorant, uneducated fuck nut! Leave my beautiful and intelligent Rachel alone!

[gofthunder]

I have two words - adam's apple

[deathcamp2]

are u a girl? so pissy about everything, sound gay, have no good arguments, really stupid, so.. i think u are a girl.. your arguments make no sense at all. meat grinder!? what a loser dude there is more people dying in houston one city than the whole friken war in iraq u fag. how many times do u get beat up everyday? ever had a girlfriend. even a boy friend? seriously u need to get a boyfriend atleast. u know bill clinton is the one that started the war in iraq. who is who's husband? i wonder.

[Srhandel]

Is that a Man???

[marcosso2007]

a smart american woman ... love her and Rosy o'DONNELl!

[fpm229]

MrArtVandelay: So she's already pledged to the other team? Damn! She's soooo freakin hot. Maybe you can persuade her that we need a short stop?

[MrArtVandelay]

I like Rachel Maddow. I hear her on AA and see her often on TV. I find her quite fetching but I think she is already pledged to the other team. She's still appealing though.

[moremi123]

love anyone who uses the phrase "quite fetching"!

[n8glenn]

There were only three candidates who had any intention of ending this war, Kucinich, Gravel and Ron Paul. Hillary is coordinating with the Bush administration on how to continue this war. She will be president, the war will last at least another 8 years, haliburton's stock will go up again, Iraqi children will continue to die, US soldiers will continue to die, and the rest of us will end up on the street begging for food.

[riceowlex]

I guess the fact that Ron paul would have them out in months just doesn't make sense to

Rachel.

[RASMISS]

you cant save people from themselves if people still going into the military knowing Iraq is going on and they are going to go than so be it go they did it to themselves

[scj16]

Thank you Rachel! I thought I was the only one that noticed Hillary doing the same thing the republicans do all the time... blame the victim. Hillary was even talking about restristing the flow of money to the iraqis1 wtf? We need to be giving them reperations and holding ourself accountable!

[dizzydicks]

YEAH, it is about oil.We should TAKE every penny we have spent in Iraq from there oil fields and take complete control of them until WE FEEL things are stablized in the middle east. How fast will things get REAL BAD over here WHEN oil reaches $20 a gallon???WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!

[dizzydicks]

Yeah we should pull out of Iraq and let them all get back to work on there nucs.They have absolutely no higher priority then to protect themselves from each other and what better way then to threaten each other and us then to stock pile weapons of mass destruction and then when you can buy a nuc out of someones trunk the fireworks will begin.I am ashamed of all the tree hugging pussy asses like this one that are trying to handcuff and destroy this country!!!FREEDOM AND SECURITY ARE NOT FREE!!!

[caedesvereor]

Damn right your freedom isn't free. That's how we know it's trash. Real freedom IS free that's kinda the point.

[andrewk369]

she looks like a man

[VanillaFresh76]

Q:Why are men like laxatives?

A:Because they irritate the crap out of you!

[buddyfreakinholly]

I agree with her about what she said, but I wish she would have mentioned Ron Paul who is and always was against the Iraq war.

[backwoodsmister]

Nice editing there, Miss Hathaway! This radio station has ZERO ratings and we can see why. The majority of Americans voted to continue the war, despite Michael Moore, and all the other lefty wingnuts' best efforts. HAAA!! We will vote again to continue it, while you fucks continue your crybaby mantra of "stolen election." Good thing you weren't alive when Hitler was on the warpath.

[bgabbs69]

70% of america wants us out! Obviously you have no idea what you are talking about. And you support Bush you will get was is coming to you.

[malisam]

Actually the American voted Out of Iraq last November when they elected congress. Congress has not listened and will pay for that. What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at the recruitment office supporting this Iraqi effort by getting into a uniform? I have, why can't you?

[85ERsicknez]

I love lesbians, but not this one LoL; )

[LukeWeatherwax]

This must be a comedy bit. There's nothing of value to what she is saying.

But, she's entitled to her opinion. Just like ME! Woo-hoo!

(I think I have that same shirt).

[Tillybcilly]

OMG!! I LOVE you Rachel Maddow!! Almost pee'd myself watching this!!! DO MORE VIDEO'S!!!! I want more!

[lipglossqueen9]

God...the hottest woman alive. If she ever reads this..

Rachel, seriously, I love you.

[rwill15]

Rachel is amazingly brilliant and witty. Great show!

[BigRichardMan]

Shup up Stupid Liberal Bitch!

[rwill15]

My... Both the eloquence and profundity of your words are redoubtable though I am not certain that you'll ever fully comprehend the sarcasm in my tone.

[soodle18]

Finally -- about the different media outlets. It seems that your position is that the entire MSM has a liberal bias. Well, apparently so does reality, so there's really nothing they can do about that.

[bildo1977]

As a whole, I'm glad you have a decent grasp on the issues. But, Air America is failing because it is pushing the same rhetoric that the network outlets feed us. Talk radio is supposed to be a haven from that kind of nonsense. "Beware of the government-media complex."

[soodle18]

OK, now I'm just plain confused. Air America is part of some sort of government-media complex? I guess it's too bad that Air America, and Rachel's show especially, spends most of its time railing AGAINST our current government.

And what "nonsense" exactly is it that they have been espousing? Radical ideas like that the war in Iraq was a mistake and we need to get out as quickly as possible (which, by the way, a majority of Americans agree with).

[bildo1977]

The progressive secular left agenda is the nonsense in which I speak of. Exposing the incompetence of our government is one thing. Coming up with viable solutions is something that this agenda can never seem to do. Right or wrong, we can't pull out of Iraq. If we fight a war anywhere, we should be in it to win it. Anything short of that is a waste.

[soodle18]

I agree that we should be in wars to win. That's one reason I opposed going into Iraq in the originally (and now oppose staying)-I have no idea what the definition of "to win" was in that context. (I have our government to thank for that).

I will admit that some seem to take more pleasure in diminishing others than thinking of their own plans. Nevertheless, plans to withdraw are still far more viable than any plans to keep our troops in Iraq for the next few decades.

[bildo1977]

I'll send you a link concerning what I mean by "Beware of the government-media complex."

[soodle18]

Progressive means trying to achieve progress and a secular agenda means ensuring the separation of church and state. Doesn't sound like nonsense to me.

[bildo1977]

Another pissed off lesbian who probably had nothing to say whenever the Iranian president said that "there were no gays in Iran" while making his speech at Columbia University. George Soros has to pay radio stations to keep this crap on the air because no one is listening to this trash.

[soodle18]

oh, yes, MSNBC and CNN and just about every news outlet (except for you-know-who)keep booking Rachel on their shows because "no one is listening to this trash." hm.

And do you honestly think that we should be taking (i'm going to spell this wrong ... sorry) Achmadenajad seriously? Mind you, I despise him and everything he stands for, but he has little to no power and is definitely not a reason we should go to war w Iran, especially as that would virtually assure Iran getting nuclear weapons.

[bildo1977]

Okay, one person is listening to this.First, MSNBC and CNN are media outlets who're openly biased for extreme liberalism, so naturally they will keep booking Rachel.Second, the "you-know-who" network's top dog Rupert Murdoch gave money to Hillary Clinton for her campaign to be our dictator.Finally, when anyone calls for the destruction of Israel, THAT'S a good enough reason to go to war and prevent that from happening.Those who don't know their history are doomed to repeat it.Remember Hitler?

[soodle18]

Funny, yes, I do seem to remember Hitler ... my ENTIRE FAMILY was forced to leave Germany during the '30s and several family friends spent their youth in the camps. I consider myself very lucky that none of my direct family died during the holocaust, but I most certainly keep in mind the 6 million Jews and 3 million other minorities who did. And I'm a proud Jew who considers anyone who wishes to destroy Israel, our one sanctuary left, a threat.

[soodle18]

HOWEVER. Ahmadinejad currently does not have the support of anyone even in Iran, save a very small number of followers. The only way that he could gain a real following is if the US attacks his country. War is a natural breeding ground for extremism; we need look no further than Iraq for proof.

I would not be fully opposed to attacking Saudi Arabia. 80% of the 9/11 hijackers came from there, and their government has done more to oppose Israel and support extremism than any other in the mideast.

[bildo1977]

Don't worry about the spelling of his name. Just call him "The Hitler of our Time" like I do. If there's a way to remove that animal from power while minimizing civilian casualties, I'd say go for it. I don't exactly trust the Saudis either.

[booley]

Blaming the Iraqis for not fixing the problems we dumped on them is like smashing someone's kneecaps with a baseball bat and then bitching because they arent' running away like any reasonable person would.

[Igthus]

G-d Bless America!

If we take our troops out of Iraq, Iran will move in to take up the vacuum. Their plan is to destroy Israel and America. When they take over Iraq, they will focus on destroying the US. Their Army is not coming here; they are on our shores awaiting the signal to attack. Iran and other "Fanatical Islam" States want to control Iraq, doing so will give them 40% of foreign oil. Their aim is to destroy the American Economy which is dependent on foreign oil.

[booley]

Our dollar is worth less then Canada's and oil is more expensive then ever.

Why would iran even need to commit resources and troops to Iraq (half of whose population hates them as well) to destroy our econmy when Shrub is doing the job so well?

[Igthus]

True Islam is 500 years younger than Christianity, Judaism is approx. 4500 years older than Islam. This proves Jews were in the land of Israel before Islam. The UN gave The Trans-Jordon. The fact remains that "Fanatical Islam" hates Jews and Christians. A dollar Bill has a hidden Star of David on top of the eagle. Turn the bill upside down and see a Menorah. This was done to honor Jews, because a Jew, Chaim Salomon paid the cost of the American Revolution and placed our new nation on this soil.

[Igthus]

Bless law abiding peoples of all Creeds and Faiths/Religions, and especially, because of this topic, Christian, Muslims, and Jews. G-d Bless The USA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Igthus]

What you are actually saying is that you have the answers. Wrong!

[razorbacks75]

Liberal idiots at it again

[wiskawind]

I love your show!

[Igthus]

Arabs want to do away Non-Muslims. Their Quran states anyone not accepting Islam must have their head cut off. It is no coincident that we are now in Iraq. Haaman, a descendent of Arabian Matriarch Hagar who was impregnated by Abraham, tried to kill Babylon Jews in 450 BC. Hagar gave birth to Ishmael. Abraham's wife Sarah gave birth to Isaac, who was called the legitimate child. Today war exists. A final war is coming killing billions before a Messiah of peace will reign, this is inevitable.

[Lokisdottir]

So... how does your idea of inherently genecidal Muslims mesh with the fact that Christians and Jews did, in fact, live without losing their heads in Muslim-occupied regions? Or the fact that the vast majority of Muslims do in fact coexist peacefully with others in places like, say, America?

[Igthus]

Wake up. They lokisdottir, these people are out to kill anyone that is not like them. The ones that "coexist" do no know Islam. I was a Muslim until I saw the light. I left my family in order to escape its' clutches. Islam is a religion of peace, and it will only exist peacefully by itself.

[Lokisdottir]

Then I'll rest easy in the knowledge that the vast majority of Muslims do not "know" Islam and we're actually pretty safe. Thanks for that little pearl of wisdom.

[Igthus]

Some Muslims are not fanatical. Realize this, an agreement a Muslim makes with a non-Muslim is not binding. Pacts Muslims make are considered valid only amongst Muslims. The enemy is out there waiting to attack, and will not rest until your head is severed from your torso. We must defeat Fanatical Islam or they may rule. Have you tried on a Burkha? Would you allow any self-sexual deviance, but beat your wife if she looked at another man or woman? Fun with Dick and Jane is passé. Wake up.

[Igthus]

Fanatical Islam is a Religion where the male dominates the female. Men may engage in all types of activities, but women may not. In Islam, Women are used to produce babies, are slaves to the home. There is a very fine line between Fundamental Islam, and the Islam of the uniformed Muslim. Jack-Mormons know Jack shat about Mormonism, so it is with Jack-Muslims

[Lokisdottir]

Calm down. No one denies radical Islam is a threat, like fundamentalism of any stripe. I mean, just look at how fundamental Christianity is threatening democracy in America. Still, I'd say a clear-eyed look at threats and solutions is a better approach than, say, paranoid ranting.

[Lokisdottir]

Ack. Misspelled genocidal. Second point: Do I really have to point out the idiotic non-logic of holding out Haaman as an example of Muslim bloodthirstiness? Haaman, in 450 BC, a thousand years before Muslim existed? Bigotry would be amusing if it weren't so pathetically tragic. And tragically pathetic.

[Rhemasonador]

Good work you guys, gals or whatever.....

[beamofthewave]

Rachel you are so awesome and smart and an out lesbian. You are so brave to be out in this homophobic country. Please find out about diaper boy David Vitter, it is like the cowardly repugnuts want to hide him under a rug.

[rflosi]

Ron Paul wants to bring our troops home now.

[DanLackey]

Rachel knows how to get to the point.

[RBLA818]

Get over it!!

[bilhelm]

Yes, no Hillary, please! She is a Repugnicant in sheep's clothing. It's amazing to see just how stupid americans can become. So much for a nation of progressives 200+ years ago, huh? america doesn't deserve a capital letter..

[AnotherHappyLiberal]

Rachel Maddow for President!!!!!

[dgtubing]

excellent response Rachel. Apparently all the presidential front-runners are on the same talking points, proving again, that both parties are worthless.

[mrflo2219]

Both Hillary & Obama are wrong about Iraq. It's about time more people stepped up to point that out!

[voyzovrezon]

Another great one Rachel! Looks like the republicans don't want to address the issue of more troops until after the election. What a surprise! And my answer to Hillary Clinton--vote Kucinich 08!

[HuckabeeForPresident]

Can't make it on radio so you go to youtube huh? LOL @ Air America.

[travioli1976]

has her radio show ended??? i listened tonite and every other nite this week.

[HuckabeeForPresident]

No, but its ratings are in the tank. lol

[travioli1976]

if you're not listening then great. mike huckabee's a creep, as are you.

[szatmar666]

Listened to HuckWanabee President on Tom Ashbrook (NPR WGBH) the other day. The guy is a complete phony: he thinks evolution is random and that the IRS should be abolished...I mean complete tinfoil loony stuff from 1 of those poor elites who was evidently let down by our education system. I say: leave no hickwanabee behind! Enroll them in high school and give them a second chance!

[chmorley]

Really? What are her ratings? Or did Bill O'Hannity not mention that?

[mottazuma]

Your wisdom and insight in contributing to this topic is breathtaking. You must have had to listen to Bill O'Reilly for minutes to come up with that witty Air America retort. The GOP thanks you for being such an obedient little goose stepper.

[iNatedotws]

You pointed out exactly why I do not support Hillary. Very few people are pointing how wrong she still is on the war.

[DblOSmith]

Agreed. Same here.

[drowz1]

Are we still in Iraq?

[pat637]

dems=neocons. (go ron paul)

[jeffdalon]

*sigh* now we're down to Obama and Edwards.

[pat637]

gravel

[Strutinan]

Woot! Gravel 08..even if (when) the Dems refuse to nominate him for the presidency...I'm STILL writing him in!

[UnklRudi]

Hillary couldn't beat 'em, so she joined 'em. She's about as progressive as LIEberman. There's another great clip of her spewing the Bush/AIPAC line on Iran.
