Rachel Maddow-Rachel Maddow confronts Tim Phillips (Part 2)

[deebodee123]

wow, this guy makes my skin crawl

[StartLoving2]

Yup, and until we stop him nonviolently - he kills.

[SpeedyBruin]

That is the most odious person ever to grace her program.

[orsonwagon]

There's no fixing the system. It has to be torn down. When swine like Phillips can make a living doing what he does, we're screwed

[ligerbomb27]

I feel physically ill after hearing what this guy had to day.

It takes a special kind of person to defend things like Chinese workers in brutal sweatshops, and calling a legless Viet Nam vet a "coward". WOW.

And now he's taking cash from the billionaire heath lobbyists to ensure Americans don't get affordable care.

To sleep at night this guy has to a) be deeply, deeply delusional, or b) a dangerous sociopath.

PS: Rachel did what EVERY journalist is obligated to do: try and expose truth. TY

[Nejiboud]

I will say what Gandhi had once said, "I like your Christ, I just don't like your Christians". Abuse and exploitation of Chinese workers is alright if they get to hear the Gospel??? Wow, and he is worried about our healthcare?

[StartLoving2]

The full quote: "I like your Christ.  I do NOT like your Christians. They are so unlike your Christ." Gandhi

[Nejiboud]

Thank you!

[Staticnz]

Heh, I love his explanation about supporting Chinese sweatshops...

'Hey y'know what everybody makes mistakes. I've been involved in bad things, but it was just one bad thing, I'm sure you've been involved in bad things too'.

So that justifies it? I can do whatever I want so long as I just say I've had a long career and done a lot of stuff. Not even good stuff. Just stuff.

[uricehe4]

Phillips and his cronies are absolute despicable scum. I've been reading about hese guys for years, they are the epitome of the very worst elements of the manipulative slimeball lobbyist special interests worms that have destroyed our political system. THANK YOU RACHEL, for finally having the courage to tell one of these guys what they are to their face.

[shaneunterthiner]

Has nobody noticed the uncanny resemblance between Tim Phillips & Goober from The Andy Griffith Show?

[dolce007]

Fuck yeah!!! You go rachel!!!

[george6900]

This man is a slimeball. I feel dirty just listening to him talk. Rachel is my hero. Way to kick his ass to the mat.

[kd1s]

Of course he's s slime ball. He tries to deflect every question.

He's a polished liar though. He barely blinks when he's telling a lie.

[george6900]

I had to take a shower after I listened to this guy. Rachel kicked his ass.

[obscuremedia]

Slam Dunk Rachel! Finally putting men like these in their places. Rachel Maddow as a lesbian has more balls than men like Tim Phillips. Congrats Girlfriend.

[obscuremedia]

Slam dunk Rachel. Finally, someone with the balls to say what people like these are. Ms. Maddow as a lesbian has more balls than Tim Phillips. Congrats Girlfriend.

[shlarg]

WOOT ! Yay Rachel !!

[MrShirokhorshid]

"i want america to know who you are.... i think you're a parasite!"

thank god for rachel and keith. no one else has the balls to expose these assholes for all to see.

[LiquidTokyo]

It's funny how turds like 24baddbrent can't stand intelligent people. People like 24baddbrent, (aka Retarded Sister Fucker), are really what's wrong with this country. The exact people we are fighting against and winning against every day.

[gdogg2000]

She was fair and wiped the floor with him!

[bruski53]

Outstanding!

[chervilant]

I am sooooo disgusted with that trite and FALSE assertion that "George Bush kept us safe"!!! The attack on our nation occurred during Bush's administration!!!! What is ANYONE thinking who says Bush kept our nation safe?!?

[chervilant]

Look at how Phillips languages his intent! Saying his efforts are not about fear, that people who attend these events are about 'loving their country" and about doing "what's best for their families"--who wouldn't want to be identified as having those values and intents?!?

Even the name of their group is designed to sway people to support them!

These bastards are all about their own personal wealth, NOT AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE!! Don't let them fool you!!!!

[24baddbrent]

How can anyone look at her

[StartLoving2]

Hmmm. The question is, how can a sub-human turd like

24baddbrent look at her? He can't. Turds can't see.

[chervilant]

Really, 24baddbrent, that's all you can come up with?! Did you not LISTEN to this interview?!? This smarmy Phillips character is a corporate shill, and he does NOT have your best interests in mind. He is all about the money and protecting the interests of his corporate sponsors. If you can't grasp that, maybe you need to get a better education.

[countess16]

Rachel was ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT! WOW!! And, he's such a whiner...typical...He never once used a fact. Cluephone people!!!

[labellementeusenz]

1. Oh man, I love her so much.

2. While I feel that in some ways this segment is kind of uncharacteristic for the show, she's still such a class act - she always lets him finish his so-full-of-crap-his-eyes-are-p­robably-brown sentences.

[godlesschick]

"I personally think that you and the folks who do what you do are a parasite who gets fat on America's fears." I was holding my breath waiting for something of that caliber to come out during her pause. Thank you, Rachel, I couldn't have said it better myself.

[OLDBEATERSIX]

rachel aint no damn punk!

go rachel!!!

[colibri1]

One thing Rachel should know by now is that right-wingers never apologize for anything. They don't have consciences. They are evil. He is right, though, that the right-wingers are winning with the US public.

[yanikv]

Damn, Maddow is a pitbull. After watching this, who in the hell would risk upsetting her? She dealt with this guy squarely. Holy shit.

[classact07]

i loved the laugh at the very end...
