Congressman Tells O'Donnell 'You're Illustrating Why MSNBC's Viewership Is In the Tank'

[432ps1]

O'Donnell is a filthy shanty Irish prick fuck. Would someone please cuntpunch him already.

[Christianpaul71]

MSNBC are a bunch of JEWS! They can't shut the fuck up.

[fidobarks]

LAWRENCE SHOULD REPLACE SCARBOROUGH!

THE BEST1

[UltraProle21]

i exist, therefore, i am entitled to your wealth.

[9pt9]

My GAWD O'Donnells interviewing style is so obnoxious. Good job MSNBC.

[TheMadronas]

This reporter is a POS and should be thrown out of television! MSNBC is a joke and will remain so until they get rid of this idiot.

[SDTillett]

@TheMadronas They can't stop with him. There are MANY more!

[cbasswm]

im in the republican part of youtube again

[jays2474]

I have never seen such an unprofessional piece of shit like this guy.Olberman,Oreilly,Mathews,s­hultz,are far more professional.Olberman is the worst out of these four however I could watch olberman for hours over 1minute of this asshole.Its not about answering the questions.He wont let these people fucking speak.I actually wonder how many left wingers actualy like this asshole.Im guessing not many.Now im sure the far left LOVE him because he doesnt let the opposition speak

[ontario1727]

Lawrence is a certified psychopath because he was beaten by his dad as a child and has never recovered.

[custardpie40]

@ontario1727 much like Olbermann..they both had their tonka trucks taken away..either as a child or by their significant other..M/F ...hard to tell.

[jays2474]

@ontario1727 I dont know how true that is,but He is without question the biggest idiot I have ever seen host a show & interview people.I am going on the record right now & saying this guy is the rudest piece of shit I have ever seen.He is a bully.Ya see this is why I couldnt be a politician or in any job where i would be interviewed by this ass.I would litterally jump the table & beat the fucking shit out of this asshole treating people this way.Hes a bully but in reallity a bitch.

[ugagndox]

Here is the answer: Social Security, Medicare, Obamacare ARE socialism and all are unconstitutional. The problem is this establishment Republican can't speak the truth and simply say to this loudmouth propagandist, yes they are socialism. Ron Paul is the only republican who would have given the obnoxious interviewer a straight answer.

Why anybody would ever rely on MSNBC, FOX, CNN or any of the other MSM outlets for their information is beyond me. They are nothing but propaganda.

[custardpie40]

@ugagndox because all these idiots making millions of dollar salaries on these cable news stations actually believe what they say is how it should be..as if no one can think for themsleves without going on air and making a complete assclown out of themselves.

[jerryjamify]

people need to stop watching TV its all brainwash everyone with trash.

[jerryjamify]

It is socialism and they should repeal them both, its broke and it doesn't work, Larry is an ass and I hate msnbc, the internet is the best sorce for information.

[tanksbb]

"I don't like the name Lawrence, from now on your name is Gomer Pyle."

[YoungTon22]

ODonnell needs to shut the fuck up on this one. If you know the congressmans point is contradictory, let him hang himself by allowing him to speak and asking the right questions. I cant stand when people talk over each other and the debate becomes incoherent.

[Catamount1980]

O'Donnell is a punk! Full of socialist dogma and a political hack!

[cdh88]

It is remarkable, O'dbagger interrupts him EVERY TIME he tries to answer, what a tool. I bet MSNBC's 11 viewers got a thrill watching this

[DjDialogic]

I'd like to try socialism. Capitalism obviously doesn't work.

[jmlew]

Lawrence O'Donnel is to liberals as Bill O'Reilly is to neoconservatives.

[JabberCT]

I hope Larry the cable anchor isnt still employed. wtf is wrong with that asswipe? stfu and let him answer!

[Silvertaker]

O'Donnell is making a great point that this scumbag is dodging. Republicans shriek about the evils of Socialism, but you don't see them scrabbling to remove all the other socialist systems we have in place. Among them Medicare, Social Security, The EBT Program, Housing Assistance, The United States POstal Service, and the list goes on and on and on and on. Scumbag: 0 O'Donnell: Too many points to count.

[norr4636]

@Silvertaker The Postal Service is Socialistic? WTF did you get that from?

[1986billyk]

lawrence is a pinko and excuse me irish americans just a dumb fuckin mick lol

[CorrosionX3]

Liberalism is a mental disorder.

[rebelcsb1]

@CorrosionX3 haha right, you prob watch fox news right?

[CorrosionX3]

@rebelcsb1 I watch everything.

[TreesOnTheBeach]

I'd actually like the congressman to answer, "Is Medicare socialism?"

[ruffdeezy]

O'Donnell looks like he was 30 pounds heavier in this video than he is now

[cvict6]

@ruffdeezy

I noticed that too...maybe he has cancer? I can only hope!

[WhatCanIsay100]

You socialist drone!!

[Pighood]

YES WE CAN HOPE AND CHANGE WORKERS CONTROL THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION VIVA CHE.



[Drednots]

O'Donnell is a jack off and a fool. He is a dying breed in bankrupt in a bankrupt system. The empire is crumbling from this entitlement system. His ignorance pretty much echoes the nation tho. No one wants to cut anything even tho this system is going to collapse hard. Government's ultimate solutions to this bankruptcy will be to come down even harder on the people to try and keep it together even tho it is doomed to fail. All empires end this way.

[thevoiceofreasonRx5]

Well that was Obnoxious.

[ninuxy]

The point was the the radical far Reich are nothing but a bunch of hypocrites. If you accept the Medicare, then universal HC also must pass your "constitutional" muster.

Some cretins might argue that with universal HC, some people might not pay into the system and are subsidized by others. In case of Medicare, we do have a similar situation where people who have paid little to none into the program get coverage once they turn 65, regardless.

[dmreeoogdaq]

Yes, single-payer, government-provided health insurance is socialism and it is a proven failure.

Yes, Social Security is socialism and should be repealed and America's seniors WEENED off of it. The program has been "amended" almost 20 times since it was instituted because it DOES NOT WORK and IS GOING BANKRUPT.

Yes, Medicare and Medicaid is socialism and should be REPEALED and American citizens WEENED off of it. Free, American citizens were not meant to rely solely on the government.

[steveinchelsea]

@dmreeoogdaq OH REALLY! yes let's repeal Social Security and Medicare, but lets start with your and your family's benefits! You're a typical hypocrite, like Michelle Bachmann who rails against Medicaid except when it paid $200,000 last year to her husband's clinic!

[1Spectre11]

Mr. O'Donnell of course he can't answer yes or no, you refuse to close your mouth long enough for your guest to answer the questions you ask. I really can't imagine why Comcast chose to buy MSNBC, unless they are willing to get rid of people who won't let guests answer questions. It's not just this show, even Chris Matthews is "behaving badly" the motto may say Lean Forward, but it's more Lean way to the Left.

[TheUnitedStatists]

lawrence o'donnell = admitted socialist, works for a major corporation, gets paid money in a capitalist system, but doesn't donate anything to the treasury... liberals are so full of shit because they always put someone else's money where their mouths are, if all these self-righteous liberals would just donate 3 % of their income to the treasury then I would shut up, but we all know thats not going to happen, eat shit and die liberals

[Trader5822]

O'Donnell is an absolute joke

[ericj305]

@Trader5822 No, but that cluster of immunocompromised gene muck extracted from your mother's reflexively gaping crotch 75 years ago is an absolute joke.

[rmutt4]

boo-hoo....this Republican thug wants to cut old people's healthcare and he gets interrupted and you right wingers cry about it.

[TheDeadlyDNA]

This is my congressman.

[slugworth63]

Fuck you, O'Donnell. What a piece of shit.

[Teflon65]

I hate it when any interviewer talks over their interviewee, regardless of what politics are involved.

[quintessential37]

@Teflon65 Agreed. O'Donnell undermines a powerful point by acting like a jackass.

[noedodson]

I think Lawrence is doing an amazing job here. Sick of all those tv presentators who never ask direct questions.. they always seem to get away with vague answers, he's just going straight to the point.

[regelemihai]

@noedodson

Aha, so surely you like O'Reilly then.

[noedodson]

@regelemihai I would if he weren't such a dumbass

[regelemihai]

@noedodson

And this assclown is not a dumbass? Mmkay. Might as well come out and say that you like it when pundits and commentators act immaturely only if they're liberals.

[noedodson]

@regelemihai Of course. I don't mind what Bill O'Reilly does, I just think he's a dumbass. I don't see how it's immature to just ask a question directly, I just wish O'Donnel would leave him more time to answer. But yeah, obviously I like it when they actually ask legit questions instead of asking the President if he knows about football, O'Reilly style.

[regelemihai]

@noedodson

People complain that O'Reilly interrupts and acts boorishly. I can sympathize with that, but not with hypocrisy. They scream and shout as if their beef is with his behavior and not with his politics. When morons like this guy or that Chris guy from MSNBC's Screwball act the same if not worse(a lot worse when it comes to this guy) they remain silent. O'reilly asks a lot more legit questions than this guy does. He at least lets the guests answer, this one just follows his erratic...

[regelemihai]

...thought patterns.

And you might call it "understandable" just as I might call O'Reilly's bouts understandable when he questions democratic officials who support socialism. Frustrating indeed.

[noedodson]

@regelemihai And I'll add that his behavior is understandable, every time a democrat tries to pass a law, Republicans go crazy and call it socialism. It's just so frustrating...

[leonarddaccardi]

jack pot odonnell sucks ...msnbc sucks

[dirtylos30]

He's just absolutly terrible at his job. Nobody can respect you when you simply interrupt and speak over your guests.

[NoGuff]

Social Security & Medicare is Socialism.

The problem for Republicans is that the citizens clasp so tightly to these entitlements & believe that they CANNOT be taken away and are NOT wrong that they don't want to hear from anyone that they're going to take them away.

No Congressmen are trying to take them away, that's different from believing they are Socialism. But what O'Donnell was trying to do was make it appear this guy is actively working to take them away so he won't get re-elected.

[masterod1]

libs think if they talk over you.. your wrong..

[packoo]

Lawrence is true to his principles, for that, I respect him...

Dont agree a with him though.

Medicare and Social Security is socialism...

That is why the establishment Republicans are on the outs...

RON PAUL 2012

[BadaBingBadaBoom012]

Every clip seen of this arrogant SOB anchor is him speaking disrespectfully to someone, when is he going to be shut up finally

[jimmyV1919]

We blocked MSNBC exactly for this reason

[Adv3r5ary2]

Yes! Medicare is a socialist program, and it FAILED idiot. This guy is a damn moron, no wonder no one watches this "news" channel.

[ryanrayonec]

God he won't shut the fuck up.

[TimeWarp66]

yes, medicare is socialism and it should be abolished.

I wish the GOP would grow some balls and say it.

[Zephanus]

@TimeWarp66 I disagree with abolishing it, but I respect you, that's precisely mine and O'Donnell's point, though we have some added opinion, that the GOP understands that socialism can and has been effective in many cases, and shouldn't be villianized so much.

[TimeWarp66]

@Zephanus

Socialism has never been effective anywhere. Wherever it has been tried it has lead to stagnation, inneficiency, corruption and poverty.

[CADILLACTATE]

FOX news the number 1 name is news

[JimFromWaterford]

I didn't even know MSNBC was still on the air!  The entire network is completely irrelevant.

[tomitstube]

michigan and ohio have been decimated by outsourcing of good paying union jobs. not a part of any liberal agenda, but reganomics. california is not the liberal fiscal state you propose either, privatization of government has led to many of their woes, like many other states. conservative states consistently rank the lowest in several "well being" categories like education, income and income disparity, access to health care, drop out rates, teen pregnancy, civil rights, prison populations...

[netster007z]

The anchor is right medicare should be replealed, it is another example of big government overextending and going broke. We can't cut off benefits to people who paid in, but the only reasonable solution to a program $trillion in unfunded liabilities is to phase it out over time.

[TheJcp1234]

MSNBC. What a joke! HaHaHa!

[182511419139208]

he attacks the guy for not wanting to repeal medicare??

[localsonly100]

@tomitstube how exactly do you "fund" tax cuts for the rich? Considering taxes are the government forcefully taking a part of your income, tax cuts mean the government takes less of the money people work for, so your analysis makes no sense.

[papavalium]

WTF this Host is the biggest idiot ever. Odonnell needs to be arrested for being such a cheap LIAR.

[tomitstube]

he's a "jeffersonian republican" and a "texan"... that's proof he's a piece of shit lying thief right there. i wish that banana republic of texas would fucking secede. good riddens you lying thieves!!!

[umrmecheman]

@tomitstube yeah, screw their 5 percent unemployment and massive revenue streams to our gov't since they actually allow businesses to prosper with caps on frivolous litigation and few onerous regs. texas actually contributes money to this nation and doesn't need bailout after bailout like Michigan, Illinois and California (all 3 in top 10 most indebted states) and who consistently prove to be on the wrong side of economic issues.

[tomitstube]

@umrmecheman ~ lol, "5% unemployment" in texas? what's your source cowboy? it's 8.1% sept. 2010. ranked 21st - bureau of statistics. tort reform in texas is a joke, malpractice suits have been cut in half while insurance rates continue to sky rocket. tort reform has done nothing to stem costs for doctors, hospitals, or patients. victims are now double victims with no recourse while private insurance companies pocket malpractice savings and continue to skim 1/3 of every health care dollar.

[haitianman117]

He's almost as bad as Bill O'riely, atleast he didn't cut the guys mic off.

[HateTaxesWASt]

The funny this is that Lawrence O'Donnell had called himself a "European Socialist".

[kickyerass]

I dare say that lawrence is THE guy I'd love to meet on the street more than even olby!! I'd kick the living dogfuck out of this asshole. I've only seen him a few times, and years ago- on Scarborough, I believe, and he was exactly this way while trying to slap anything conservative, yet ACTING all fair and balanced. He is seriously unbalanced and a complete fuckface dick.

[432ps1]

@kickyerass I agree. O'Donnell is an obnoxious fuckin prick. I'd love to punch him in the cunt.

[Catamount1980]

@kickyerass Agreed!  He's a punk ass bitch!

[TMHackett]

I would punch O'Donnell in the nose if he spoke to me like that. What a rude dufus totally lacking in manners. Must have been drunk again on the air like Matthews.

[tomitstube]

lawrence o'donnell is awesome! if you listen to the right wing LIARS right now, they are talking about getting rid of social security. it has a 180 billion surplus. unfortunately the idiots thumbing lawrence down are complete tools for the privatization of social security.

and when your only retirement left (thanks to private industry doing away with pensions) goes belly up in some derivative scam who will you have to blame? huh? there's a reason he's hammering this thief you idiots!

[WSOR4025]

@tomitstube 180 billion surplus? The NY Times disagrees.

w w w.nytimes.com/2010/03/25/busin­ess/economy/25social.html?_r=1­&adxnnl=1&adxnnlx=1286463801-P­AsC13FD1BStiXWkO8xF3Q

Social Security is slowly dying and something will have to be done to fix it. If nothing is done it will no longer exist. Same goes for Medicare. It is fast approaching, the time is now to face the facts.

[tomitstube]

@WSOR4025 ~ yeah, there's a media blitz by billionaires and wall streeters to privatize social security. congress robbed the surplus blind to fund wars and tax cuts for the rich and now they want to just hand over trillions in paycheck payments to wall street. if bush had succeeded in this 10 years ago millions of seniors would have nothing. don't believe the bullshit, they're thieves and liars. fight for social security, don't let these fuckers steal the only retirement you have.

[crayrayc]

lol this isn't hardball it's paid for agenda curveball. this odonnell guy doesn't even let people speak without interrupting them every other word... wtf??

[justabill61]

A PERFECT example why Fox News Channel is the #1 Cable News Network.

[donttelluseenme]

This jack ass dont let the person he is asking questions answer. Hes right thats why nobody watches the Bull shit NBC!

[flobrew]

He's right! This is the reason no one watches this channel. It has become a total parody of itself. An "interviewer" is supposed to ask questions and let the viewer LISTEN to the response. This show is apparently just built around some jackass screaming at people. My 4-year-old niece can do that too! I think I'll send a resume for her into MSNBC. You might be saying, "maybe she needs some discipline," but I has always thought that "journalists" had to display some, too.

[Pattycakessmiles]

O'donnell is pathetic..more recently Joe Scarbourough had to pull him off an interview and do it himself...this guy SOOOO wants to BE somebody, but sadly he's jus plain pathetic!

[425Velocity]

Lawrence O'Donnell is exactly right in this interview. Medicare and Social Security ARE socialist programs. But don't stop there, Lawrence, explain how both programs are going bankrupt, how they represent trillions in unfunded liabilities, how eventually we will only be able to afford the interest on the debt created by these entitlements. I see two big turds in this video... each only interested in telling half-truths to score points... neither interested in telling the whole truth.

[mitchblatt1dot1com]

Lawrence: "I don't want you to spin your time here. I want to hear myself yell, because I like the sound of my voice."

[Sivels]

medicare IS socialism.

[Urbania05]

@Sivels and it's a joke.

[1freedomfighter11]

all big media is propiganda, they are just starting to cover real storys now to maintain what little credability they have left.

[parkerlane13]

msnbc is pathetic. This congressman is right on, msnbc is tanking

[titans797979]

Oh snap! msnbc is a bitch. lol

[BloodiCheeseCake]

Lawrence O'Donnell has a method of interviewing people, which involves talking about one thing and repeating it constantly and yelling louder until the guy gives up.

There's no talking to O'Donnell because he's an incompetent asshole who doesn't let people talk (if they're Republican). That's why MSNBC is on the same immature level as Fox News. I hope his ratings go down so that he will never have a show again.

[Nmhumbug]

Bravo, Congressman!!

Where does MSNBC get these elitist airbags? I try to be objective and watch these idiots and last about 3 minutes.

[sadol11]

this anchor is a PIG the man has no notion about respect

[mikeecy]

@sadol11 same as o'reilly and hannity.

[residentzombie]

O'Donnell did this with Peter Schiff as well. Yes O'Donnell is an elitest globalist pig and I'm sure he goes to the Boehemian Grove each year in California to party 'hard.'

[Britton001]

Hahaha... I don't know who O'Donnell is, but he made that Texan look like a hypocritical douchebag. "MSNBC has no viewers, but I'm PISSED that you called me a liar on national television". Hahaha... fuckin' Republicans.

[cwize]

This guy is no journalist. MSNBC needs to strip him of the title just like they did to Olbermann and Matthews. Are there any NEWS people left on what was supposed to be a news channel? It's all vitriolic anti-Bush (note to MSNBC, he's not the President anymore) wailing. Good grief. What a buffoon. I live in Culberson's district, he's a thoughtful conservative who stands by his principles. O'Donnell trying to 'trap' him into saying something for a "gotcha" was just a waste of time.

[matsutakneatche]

msnbc will go down with the NWo. its all rubbish. fuck the NWO

[onechrishall]

God he interupts EVERY time someone starts talking..

[arshie]

This man is a real pig.

[roddiero]

O'Donnell. O'Donnell is an actor.

He's just there to create drama. He knows he's acting like an idiot, but he thinks it'll get ratings. Someone thinks it'll get ratings, obviously.

It s not effective though--at least at getting more support for the Dems or Obama. It makes Obama et al look like full fledged Bolsheviks who'll attack anyone who doesn't get in line.

I guarantee you, this is the last think BO and the gang needs--this clown being a hack on TV.

[rayallin]

I'm amazed the guest did not walk offf the air.

[pklocek]

wow -- somebody more irritating that Keith Olbermann.

[oiuoiu988]

wow, i never thought id see the day where a democrat has surpassed bill o'reilly on the douche-o-meter.

[myyootube]

Did that FUKC BALL just get owned and told to shut the FUKC UP! I think so.

[u2canbfmj]

Wow...can this country just get on with Blowing the F'up, so we can rebuild it without corp. media and fascist Goldman Sachs. I wish I could time travel and get my 2:09 back

[washingtonisoz]

Lawrence O'Donnell is as insignificant as the network he works for. MSNBC's ratings prove that gravity still works.

[Drednots]

This prick always talks over his guests and never lets them finish a sentence. A complete jack ass.

[ODDMANtheone]

What an annoying prick. Even if you take his side on issues, he's cringe worthy to listen to.

[nextdrink45]

O'Donnell is a pile of carp!

[dankeewolnir4042]

Another bad interviewer. But this Culberson only on pointing out TV ratings.... if you wanna restore our country to its constitutional framework, we gotta change our monetary system to something for the people... maybe an honest one. Bump these grants. They are grants in worthless paper from an unproductive nation. Probably borrowed from china again. We are not allowed to be productive in this purposely unsustainable fiat system. A debtor nation based on credit... forever?

[jbraly]

I LOVE seeing a politician get grilled and sweat whether they are republican or democrat. I love how this 'republican' who claims to think like the founding fathers is afraid to say Medicare is bad for fear of losing votes his next time around...

[RileyE104]

I agree. He is a fake trying to exploit the the liberty movement and the fight against tyranny.

Along with other members of congress and people like Glen Beck, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh..

Everyone who is complaining now with Obama but said and did nothing when Bush was in office sicken me.

The people who should be given credit for this movement are the ones who spoke out and have been warning us what would happen long before 2009 or even 2001, like Ron Paul or Andrew Napolitano.

[jbraly]

<---- Ashamed I ever voted for McAmnesty. Was always a Ron Paul fan, but like a chicken I pulled the lever for a loser.
