progressnotcongress.org: Rachel Maddow debuts on Meet The Press 8-16-09

[hitch4645]

she should have a permanent spot at that table. she kicks everyone's now.

[bigiveee]

@hitch4645 yea right nobody is watching Rachel show or msnbc and if you put a real conservation like laura ingraham

Rachel will lose the debate

[hitch4645]

haha. maddow would destroy ingraham. when was the last time a conservative actually won a debate?

[hitch4645]

replace now with ass, i dont know why the hell i said "she kicks everyone's now." i must have been really really tired

[treatyourselftolunch]

I don't take Rachel Maddow seriously as a journalist, but you've got to love how pathetic it is that instead of trying to say anything substantive, all these pitiful idiots can think of is a lesbian joke.

[strongtowndaredevils]

That Maddow guy really looks like a butch lesbian

[Ciaresayton]

In the end, nobody listens to a lesbian because her partner is either battery-powered or some female named bobbie.

[fubar28]

was rachel maddow raped by the republican party?

goddamn, she was the only one that brought notes to the damn show, no less to ambush dick armey.

[rhaezorblue]

lol Dick Armey looks REALLY uncomfortable. (watch his hand-wringing) Rachel is a very good journalist it and it looks like they really underestimated her. She knows her shit, she came prepared. She rocks :)

[shattybreeches]

She never read Glenn Beck's book.

Such a hypocrite.

[IRHari]

@shattybreeches

proof?

[Dragsterwiz]

I love her.

[shattybreeches]

You probably also watch the Ellen DeGeneres Show.

There is nothing wrong with that, but its shows your demographic.

[Dragsterwiz]

First. I'm a str8 male.

second. I do not watch Ellen.

third. my  demographic is intelligent and funny people that know what they are talking about.

[woodycoat]

Fred Savage = FAIL

[pongman]

Sounds to me the Republicans don't like Medicare.

[Cloudff7yaoi]

I like how Rachel actually uses FACTS! It  is so awesome how she shreds people with them.

[harleykman]

@Cloudff7yaoi A lot of the time her "facts" are invalid. Like when she kept repeating 50 million people did not have healthcare. The actual number was 37.5 according to the US Census, and then later revised to 17.5 when the USC found a flaw in their math

.

But Rachel kept saying 50 instead of the accurate 17.5

.

[Adagio2424]

i think the govt needs to privatize the police and the fire department and when your house is on fire or when your robbed and need help and they turn you down because you didnt pay your premiums then maybe ppl will understand why some things should not be left to the private sector. this is about being pragmatic if the government can delivery my mail everyday i think i would give them a chance at providing me health care.

[ImNeilPatrickHarris]

fire department is local, not federal or national. it's also mandated under the constitution. over 70% of firefighters r volunteers.

police are also state and local, and also mandated by the constitution.

also, the USPS (american postal service) is bankrupt, while its private competitors r making bank.

think for urself instead of government talking points, LOL.

[enceph]

dont fret my friends, cowards like dickhole will no longer be on this planet when old age takes him in what...maybe 12 years.

let him fill his diaper for a few more years and then the planet will (rightfully) foget he ever exsisted. His life has always been meaningless.

In regards to the long winded bitch xiola; your ability to type doesn't equate IQ.

Your fucking stupid, and by the looks of it, shall remain so until your final days when everyone forgets you, just like your coward friends.

[Dega1101]

Why can't Dick Armey actually look at Rachel Maddow during debate? He has absolutely no respect for someone who is 10 times more intelligent than he is.

[xiola6969]

P.S. hay what ever happened to fixing social security? o their isnt any money in it for your big corporation pals ? So its forgotten. This is all facade to benefit big business and large corporations. You cant even fix social security and you want to tackle universal healthcarewhy is one more important than the other I wana see the fine print how much of that money is going in corrupt politicians pockets

[Adagio2424]

how much money is going into corrupt politicians pockets now to derail any substantive health care reform do you know how many dem representatives are being bought off. why dont you concern yourself with that now instead of later because there is more corruption going on now.

[xiola6969]

Let me get out my great great grandfathers Charleville Musket used in the American revolutionary war and blow some holes in your socialized healthcare plan ms maddows.

I think both sides can agree something needs to be done, however with out lots of time and planning its going to be debacle

[xiola6969]

Like you said employers dropping healthcare and people forced on government healthcare, People force to eat and behave in certain ways or be oppressively taxed, look at a pack of cigarettes in New York. And the person responsible even said yes I want them to quit. Thats not the governments role in a free society.

[xiola6969]

You guys start taxing stuff like that cause its unhealthy on large scale and using we got pay for the government healthcare some how yes dear the blood of tyrants will turn the streets into rivers and like my grandfather before me I will lead the charge against you tyrants holding my grandfathers musket high as icon of freedom against tyranny. I have watched you rescue the banks in effort to save our economy. Who is really in charge now? The people or big corporations?

[Adagio2424]

but your the tyrant your talking about weapons when health care is something that needs to be talked out its this kind of attitute the let me get my gun and bully my way into making you do what i want you to do that has gotten this country in trouble. ie the wars.

[xiola6969]

She is a total Tyrant, she is also a coward who would never fight for her freedom I can see it in her eyes. I respect the fact they have made it an even vote on this matter, the idea here is that if you use your super majority to assure it in its going to get ugly. I think those smarter than you Rachel Maddow realize this and thats why its an even split vote.

[xiola6969]

After the bank bail outs and people losing their homes and the government doing nothing you think we are going to trust you to write a healthcare reform bill that isnt in big business interest? There is a huge difference in a bail out and being forced to bail them out, they would have bankrupted our economy that alone should be sign to the people of this great nation that the banks hold power over our government

[ornette06]

why did the banks fail? they were allowed to engage in non-bank activities due to the repeal of the Glass-Steagell Act championed by Phil Gramm. Why were people losing their jobs? A president was advocating the ownership society promoting the purchase and selling of questionable mortgages. Who promoted the ownership society again?

[ornette06]

yes they would have bankrupted our economy and the world economy if they were not bailed out. these free market policies allowed them to grow and become too big to fail. yes banks have power over our government and which policies allowed this historically? democrats want to regulate them republicans don't want to regulate them.

[debjordan108]

I forgot to watch or record this so thanks for posting...Rschel for Pres!!!!

[NicholsFan]

Gooooo Rachel!!! Listen to this woman. She has the facts and is the voice of reason when the lying GOP tries to scare everyone into being against health care reform.

[SAYESTOHEALTHCARE1]

GO RACHEL WE LOVE YOU

[shardanette1]

She is simply the best.

She nailed Armey like he should have been for the last 20 years, but no media wussy would ever counter his lies.

Also, she will replace Gregory within 2 years if his numbers continue their nosedive.

[mightyblack1]

Rachel is a baddddddddddd motherfucker and she do one hell of a job,watch out Olbermann.

[jymnmer]

To bad a voice of reason on a news show is shouted down by loudmouths like Armey and Coburn. No wonder the town halls turn into such ignorant shout fests.

[otownsteelers]

She is awesome!!! I love how she uses the truth against this douchebag!

[tigerone1970]

:)))))))))))))))))

Rachel is ON FIRE, taking names and kicking behinds.

I laughed out loud when she confronted Dick Armey with what he said in 1995.

Television can be good.
