Rachel Maddow Show: Risks of Keeping Lieberman as Chairman

[Lex5576]

........and MSNBC should probably be thinking about the "RISKS OF KEEPING MADDOW AS A TALK SHOW HOST." These liberal news networks keep wondering why their ratings sink deeper and deeper into the tank....all the while suffering daily..... bitchslap after bitchslap after bitchslap from FOX NEWS in viewership ratings. It's right comical because these liberal fools are too ignorant to realize the American people stopped tuning in to their left-wing biased crap over a decade ago.

[HoldTheProfanityFool]

A couple of minutes of this = your brain explodes. Uughh!

The voters in Massachusetts had something to say about "bullpucky" last week.

A year after this Air America alum falls prostrate on the altar of Keynesian economics we ask, "So where are the jobs?"

[ASentinel2]

Rachel Maddow was reportedly found 'humping' a seat arm on the train while in New York for a brief holiday. She had taken XTC (witnesses said) and she found the movement of the train exciting-so much so in fact that she actually soiled her panty and uncontrollably had bowel movements while writhing back and forth on the seat edge.

This all became too clear when at one point she fell over due to the shifting of the care and the fecal matter smeared in her crouch leg & the floor became visible.

[wotmot223]

this kind of personal attack pretty much sums you up.

[meisema666]

@ASentinel2 No. Just no. You gotta be shitting YOUR pants if you think people are going to believe that crap.

[CadenRolland]

The Dems are not stupid they are following and old code, "keep your friends close but keep your enemies closer."

[kravman84]

Vituperative- uttering or given to censure, containing or characterized by verbal abuse

Antipathy- settled aversion or dislike.

This is why MSNBC sucks so much, if you wanna get people rallied to stop Lieberman you don't have to use big words. Oh and all these comments support the idea of her followers as being total gourmands.

[Feyrhawk]

I love you, Rachel!  Lieberman is a sell out piece of crap.

[aceflashheart]

She was right on the money. This cock voted against the medicare extension. Show some backbone Democrats are fire his ass already.

[babakmo]

LIEberman wants US to attack Iran. Obama will not attack Iran, hence, LIEberman will do anything he can to bring down Obama ....

afterall, LIEberman is loyal to Israel first, and US last

[jaer57]

And he ran as an independent and won. I'm sure you're all laughing. I can't stand Maddow for some reason; she just seems to condescending.  Same reason I can't watch Sean Hannity on the other side. They both are just puppets for their parties...

[luchpockets]

Rachel is "right on", as usual !

This is the reason the right doesn't like her !

She consistently nails them to the wall !

GO RACHEL !

[AuntyHatties]

Someone hit Liebermann with a ugly stick.

[pointybongo]

Lei-berman now says he will filibuster health care reform.

What a douche-bag.

[saulboyjt]

Lieberman is great!!!

[utubeusername7734]

sigh...homeland security is another term for gestapo

[Loyolajack]

More risks in allowing Maddow to keep masquarading as a journalist. The woman is nothing but Olbermann in a dress...er...I am more prone to think HE prefers the dresses,and we know she is a SUIT kind od gal.

[MJH281]

Sorry, but Fox has Hannity and I never seen a column of his in a newspaper, lol. And I like Rachel and the suits, it is different and cute.

[therealBombenhagel]

I am with you, MJH281. Loyolajack should also know that Rachel Maddow is a recipient of the Rhodes Scholar award. So you have Hannity, a college dropout, up against Maddow, a lifelong intellectual and Rhodes Scholar? Is that what Loyolajack(ov)comes with? Ad hominem attacks? But see what I did just there?

[ReasonsItrust]

ya got that right Jack. And did anyone really think Maddow or any of the LOONS would not try to lynch Joe Lieberman for his independance...don't wanna drink the Koolaid Joe? Ok, we kill you at the gallows.

[paipai913]

rachel needs a haircut here lol i like her hair short and butchy she is too cute

[Anag2080]

someone should start a rachel maddow channel- this lady is great.

[Anag2080]

I dont know why Obama didnt give him the boot no matter what way they put it it's still beyond me WTF

[rbhumes]

I thought the look on LIberman's face said it all. He has a 69% disapproval rate in his state, and the Senate was ready to hang him out to dry until Obama stepped in.

So, if Obama tells Lieberman to pick up the bar of soap he will have to bend over. Obama owns him now.

[borat443]

Lieberman should be ousted, from office by his electorate, and politicians should stop playing politics, these people suck and should all be thrown out on their ass

[tifjoking]

If I get ahold of him, Israel will be the last thing on his mind. . .the first will start with a P ;) :p

[leftyjerker]

Why did Youtube remove this video? Do they remove any video which puts Jews in a bad light?

[arturohd]

Lieberman is only loyal to Israel. He couldn't care less about U.S. interests.

[tifjoking]

I am sooooooooo happy that my baby Joe Lieberman got to keep his chairmanship and stay with the DEMS!I love you Joe Lieberman!

[yaotao]

Dear Joe Lieberman,

Go fuck yourself. Connecticut Democrats, as well as Democrats all over the country, HATE YOU! You're useless. Again, please go fuck yourself.

Love,

The great citizens of Connecticut, both Democrats AND Independents (along with the rest of the great people of the United States of America).

[todnyc]

Joe Lieberman is a complete fucking disgrace. i hope that Ned Lamont gets that seat when the chance come up

[cjd2112]

God I love her...

[stateofsorry]

subscribe to that.

[tifjoking]

If Lieberman switches to the Republican party, so will I!!!

[ripdoggie]

please do... and soon!

[Zodiac266]

fuck you and JEW LIE berman. Why is the cockroach favoring the neo con positions? It's very simple. This treasonous israeli operative would sell america to further the interest of his first loyality=israel. That's why he is supporting the destruction of iraq and war with Iran. It's no brain er!

[stateofsorry]

now what a loss...

[hippieCy08]

You know, Obama has talked about Real Change, if his admin is truly the effective and competent governing body it claims to be....then perhaps they'll finally put ppl other than weaseling pathetic cowards the likes of Lieberman in chairmanship, who are more concerned with advancing the hate b/w Israel and Arabs than the security of our country!

Maddow did a better argument and has the balls to call a spade, well a spade. I hope someone pass this video to those who should see it.

[terri22221]

Rachel's arguments against Joe Liebermann are worthy of an award...I think she's brilliant and I just love her show.

[Pleblian]

Based on this criteria, why would the Obama team consider sen Clinton for Secretary of state? Lieberman maybe a douche but Hillary ran pretty "low road" campaign against Obama in the primary's. I don't think she would do him any favor's advising his presidency, who's to say she won't run again in 2012.

[ManufacturedThoughts]

I hope the world ends for humans on 12/21/2012

[terri22221]

ManufacturedThoughts; you must be a conservative christian. You all live for some after-life and don't give a damn about the planet or its inhabitants. Live your life, NOW, and stop waiting for an after-life that there's no proof of.

[cjd2112]

A-MEN terri22221. I wish more people would realize that fact, but alas, a book about fables and tales is controlling more than half the worlds population because people are afraid of the "eternal fires of hell". Lord, I think Karl Rove studied the bible and its fear tactics and applied them to the GOD.

[terri22221]

I wouldn't be surprised, cjd2112...I used to think Rove was really intelligent (in a dark sort of way) but since the election, my perception of him--and all who make up the Republican Base--has changed. They demonstrated very little logic or reason in their arguments for McCain/Palin, and they just lied a lot about Obama every day. Now I see the Conservative Christians/Repub base as very narrow-minded, low-information, bigotted types who refuse to see the truth right in front of their eyes.

[GutterpressFerret]

Is that you speaking up for insectkind? Or have you had enough of life.

:-)

[DillonX]

You libs might kick Liberman outta the Dem Party, but we don't want him in our GOP either.

He's just concerned with what's good for Israel...so let him move over there.

[oldtownkid]

Joe Lieberman must go, let the GOP have him ! Republicans are not gonna take him either. Joe Lieberman is way too liberal for what the GOP is trying to do now that they're going through their identity crisis. The only reason why some GOPers were silent about Lieberman is because he was supporting McCain and to them power was more important than the principles they supposedly hold.

[pinkietou]

Lie_berman is another word for SNAKE.

[pinkietou]

To commenter C4797, Lie_bermann did lose his primary,and who was the one person he asked to stump for him,OBAMA.

The democrats wanted OBAMA to stump for the democratic nominee instead.Lie_berman won his seat,of all the people to turn on,OBAMA wasn't the one.What Lie_berman did at the rnc,

showed ingratitude to OBAMA,and a deep lack of respect,for the Democratic party.

The old saying is true:No good deed goes unpunished!!!

[sivaprasad135]

I love rachel.she is so brilliant

[KateAnneNYC]

Yep -- this and the followup that FireDogLake posted are more of her terrific commentary. Go get 'em, Rachel. Talk sense to the Dems! We love you, Rache!!

[soulfuluniverse]

Rachel, you're too cool.

[1nedward]

The liberal Democrats left Lieberman...who is a moderate democrat and not the other way around. It makes perfect sense then that he would endorse a moderate republican he has a lot more in common with then the far left senators.

[eliblu]

I have such a crush on Rachel ;) and I generally loathe pundits. I know so many people who don't normally watch political shows (like me) who are starting to watch her show regularly. I bet she eventually surpasses o'reilly in the ratings.

[louis4louis]

I truly believe that keeping Lieberman in there as chairman will be like keeping a grenade under your pillow when you go to sleep. He's a stale, foul-smelling self-proclaimed democrat. He hasnt even come out and apologize yet for the hyprocrital stuff he has been saying for months until, to his disbelief, the GOP lost the election. No chairmanship for Lieberman!!!. Doesnt make sense what so ever..

[Blac13]

Lieberman should hold his head underwater till the bubbles stop coming up.

[C4797]

The Maddows of the world say Lieberman betrayed the Democratic party, but it was Lieberman who continued to caucus with Democrats even after he lost his primary and all his colleagues endorsed his opponent, and this was before Democrats controlled the Senate. He has seniority and should be chairman. Democrats should not engage in the practice of purging all those who act on their conscious and differ from the party line.

[roundedthought]

Dear Senator Liberman:

America is NOT a game.

[2000s10man]

ha what ever happened to reporting the news. now every anchor person wants to be seen as some tough son of a bitch. i dont want your opinion just give me the facts ma'am. ill make an opinion up on my own.

[picassolama]

Maddow is not an anchor, she's a pundit with a prime-time opinion show.  She's not quite the equivalent of O'Reilly, that's Olbermann's job, but she is on par with the likes of Mike Huckabee on FOX "NEWS." They are all pundits with shows, not anchors giving us 'just the facts.'

[Skywatcher97731]

I really like Rachel Maddow's style of reporting. She rocks!

[evil999]

isnt Libermann a draft dodger, y the fuck is he head of this security thing. should have military ppl in this post not some useless old jew

[Xakryn]

I want to see under that pant-suit.

[beanchar]

By agreeing with John McCain that Sarah Palin was qualified to be one 72-year-old heartbeat away from the Presidency proves that Lieberman has no concept what the phrase "Homeland Security" truly means.

[nissanaltima232]

as someone who actually had a say in the election in CT involving lieberman, all i have to say is that he's a douche with an ego larger than any current day celebrity.

he needs to go. now.

[fpm229]

Fuck Lieberman. He's a worthless piece of shit!

[fpm229]

Lieberman is a slimy, gutless AIPAC pimp. Fuck him. I'd rather lose the sixty seat majority vote than accept this fucking AIPAC puppet. This fucking wimp Lieberman kissed up to McSame, thinking that he would become president, and then McSame would offer him a job in his administration. This wacky nut-job divorced himself from the Democratic Party by backing McSame and bad-mouthing Obama. We dont need this scum. Fuck him!

[silverbluejc08]

She is such a lesbian

[jay2thaudy]

What's your point?

[HotDogChiliePepper]

why these idiots vote for this jewish clown? get rid of all AIPAC whores in senate. NOW.

[ihatespam2]

Rachela is Hot! Just cause she has short hair an isn't one of those Fox news bimbos doesn't make her a bitch or a lesbian. And so what if she is a lesbian? At least she isn't some SoCaliBrowns sexist punk with no clue.

[dsgspm]

hopefully reid and obama continue to show their statesmanship and not elevate lieberman's status to the one whose been witch hunted and driven out of the party. look beyond the tips of your noses folks. please

[Urmarkus]

You would if you had the chance

[SoCaliBrowns]

No, she only likes fish.

[tah83236]

I hope the distinguished Senator from Tel Aviv is removed soon.

[DillonX]

Liberman isn't really a Democrat or a Republican...he's a Israliancrat.

He doesn't care if our actions bankrupt our country as long as we do whatever Israel wants.

And he doesn't care what country we attack as long as Muslims are killed.

He's a bigot.

[beckpod1]

Obama had to kiss up to the jews..they own america! LIEberman doesn't need a party..he has power to do what he wants!

and we let this happen!

[areki38]

Wow, one of Rachel's best in my opinion, which is a high bar.

[videoqueen2000]

Get rid of HIM!!! I LOVE OBAMA

[stuffisgd]

LIEberman is a tool. In his crazy mind he didn't have the foresight to see america elect an african-american. So he practiced what he thought was "good politics" to come out on the winning side. well mr dickbag, you didn't hedge your bets. Now you lose. Now he will have to play nice w/ the dems with his tail between his legs or he's out on his dumb ass. I say keep him on a very short leash so the dems can maintain that 60seat majority. However if he fucks up he needs to be called out publicaly

[noracism11]

Fire Lieberman!!!

[Mel1334]

Rachel is awesome!

[sergioconvers]

FUCK Lieberman!

[alx098]

Watch them elect that snake, so that they can hide their past...

[HookedOnNews]

Lieberman chose his path at the RNC, now we should make him walk it with his new friends... We don't need him that bad and I don't think we could count on him if we did..

[dsgspm]

no one in the media has made the following point. my opinion is as follows. lieberman was and is a factor in shaping a % of the jewish vote. the last thing obama wants to appear is targeting a jewish senator whose claim to fame is his staunch support for israel. the right wing media outlets will undoubtedly suggest this as a narrative and use it in the 2012 cycle. appointment of emmanuel not withstanding. if this indeed is the line of thinking, i give mr. obama a 10/10 for his farsightedness

[EJTJ04]

To answer Rachel's question: What do the dems do with Lieberman? Answer: Out, out damn spot.

[mayaluvsmusic]

Palin/Lieberman for Pres in '12

[icu812a]

If I'm a Democrat, I absolutely love that ticket.

[39rc6cf]

Rachel,

You're smart and much better looking than Keith.

I like your show but watch out for all the shards of glass he's responsible for.

Lieberman? No darn good. A traitor.

[Ralphdraw3]

GET RID OF LOSERMAN LIEBERMAN!!!

[pcc68]

Rachel... love the new look.

[fverona]

Good job Rachel! - This is the best argument I have seen against Lieberman - the only additional thing she could mention is: that the main reason it would be very difficult to remove him from a charmainship later, is because they would then need Republican votes to oust him, a near impossibility

[BPB9973952]

This is a typical liberal slant job. What a surprise it is MSNBC. You guys have no conscience, by the way who is this chick?

[ichalz]

How is it slant? It's most certainly a harsh depiction of the man, but it's necessary to call out politicians claiming to be of a certain affiliation when they are not.

That being said, were you under the impression that conservatives were going to call Lieberman out on being too conservative?

[edwatson1964]

WHO IS THIS "CHICK"!?!?

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

'nuff said.

[mayaluvsmusic]

zzzzzzzzzz

[icu812a]

Let's not pretend that Lieberman will suddenly turn into a Democrat if he keeps his chairmanship he never uses anyways.

[Praiosrondra]

The other day on "The Young Turks", I've heared an interesting explanation of why guys like Evan Bayh are trying to keep Lieberman: They are trying to cover their own a**! They fear that if Lieberman is held accountable for his actions, that they would probably be next in the line of fire from the progressiv Dems in the Senate and the progressiv movements like Move On!

[avelvetcrush]

YOU ROCK, RACHAEL !!!!  BULLS EYE !!!

[Praiosrondra]

I totally agree with Rachel on this issue! Kick Lieberman out of the Party already! The Dems can't reach 60 seat majority, even if they will all tree Senate races, which are still undescided! Without Lieberman they could have 59 Dems in the Senate. And WITH Lieberman they still would have no more than 59 votes! Because Lieberman will vote with the Dems only if it doesn't matter! And he would certainly missuse his chairmenship!

Throw the rat overboard! NOW!!!

[DeAnte85]

I'm not sure If Obama is 'dangerously' naive, but he is definitely a naive individual and borrow and spend/redistribution schemes share the same underlying principles of Marxism.

Obama is not the first Marxist President either.

[aemm34]

you know all you do when you say things like that is demonstrate that you understand neither marxism nor obama's plan.

[oggleman]

Amen to that!

[tommyc6066]

It is so refreshing to see a journalist with a brain. Rachel rocks!!

[deon80]

that was absolutely wonderful. MAN, RACHEL IS THE BEST!!! She speaks in ways that no one else on television does... She speaks for the youth of America. Man she really is our voice! Great way to explain and back up your claims, so that it can not be said she's just being a liberal. Not when you have actual words that came out of your mouth Mr. Lieberman.

[Lootefisk]

I love this woman.

[bbbbmer]

Lieberman as chair of govt affairs would be a thorn in the side of Obama that Obama would never be able to live down... Lieberman must go -- he's nothing but a shonda da goyim... and a traitor to the Democratic Party...

[toosinbeymen]

Wow, you made the most convincing case yet about booting Lieberman, Rachel. Brava!

I campaigned for Ned Lamont and was sad to see Ct make their mistake again in 06.

[alphax]

I'm a fan of Obama. However, Lieberman remaining would not represent change!

[kargenlewis]

i would want my enemy close so i can kick him in the head when it suits me! BOOT TO THE HEAD!

[kargenlewis]

how stupid are americans? over and over i see completely miss informed people speaking out. completely believing all they say. this is crazy. the truth isnt a mystery or something we hope for. educate your self and others to the corperate control and neo con greed and murder. bush is the most corrupt and worst president ever. they should all go to jail!

[Andante444]

Great work Rachel. I am so glad you said all of this! You are spot on.

Everyone please call your Senator and urge him/her to vote to yank Liberman's chairmanship on the Homeland Security Comittee.

[Morvarid06]

Grandpa needs to go home and take a nap. He smells old, looks old, thinks backwards, and sounds OLD....that surely means he is too old to think straight.

[chumashfalcon]

even if they keep joe, he will leak information to the GOP. and run interference trying to sabotage any attempts to end the war.

Joe is still mad we never got to Nuke Iran, I know he wanted to nuke Iran more than anyone. He is sick in the head with all that end times theology. sick sick treasonous piece of shit.

[baronmorris]

I have thought the same thing.

LIEberman will be a spy in the DNC.

and I don't want him chairing anything military, dammit.

P E A C E !
