Rachel Maddow: Why GITMO Accountability Matters

[gwengoadalso]

do unto to others....

[putittogether]

I just told you the upside to fascism but a will state it again: National regulation of industry and Wall Street, National mandated health care Income redistribution Strong union protection and regulation A strong national education system, (no vouchers) Community outreach programs, A national youth core A strong defense A strong international protective presence I could go on but those are just some of the benefits of fascism. What is your problem with these ideas. We are on the same side.

[booley]

Wow. Actions by our government can have consequences.

Who'da thunk it?

My hopes are with these reporters.

Since I know the consequences will never fall on the people who's actions helped lead to this.

[cobmojo]

Rachel's a true American

[cobmojo]

Rachel Rocks!!!

[tootshoe]

Try holidng Islam accountable for thousands upon thousands of deaths in the name of a pedophile terrorist killer named Mohammed

[iron1215]

Yes I think we should let foreign countries dictate or behavior. America should immediately implement Sharia law so Iran will love us.

[technicschic]

Who said anything about letting foreign countries dictate our behavior? Dr. Maddow is simply pointing out that actions DO have consequences. Spit on the rule of law, rip up the Constitution, and it will come back to bite you in the ass. More specifically, those "evil liberals" have been saying for YEARS now that if you ignore the rule of law when it comes to detainees, you are making your own citizens and military more vulnerable. Here is the proof.

Thank god the democrats believe Obama is going to restore their Constitutional inalienable rights. For with out their ignorance, fascism would not succeed.

Fascism Now Fascism FOREVER!!

OBAMA FOREVER

[jrebstock]

obama is no fascist...u need to get used obama as your president the next 8 yrs.....he aint going anywhere...especially with idiots like romney, limbaugh, palin, steele leading your dying and meaningless republican party.

[putittogether]

Your just jealous of fascism. He is our fascist not yours.

Fascism for Fascism FOREVER!!!

ONAMA FOREVER!!

[jrebstock]

nobody is jealous of fascism....and i'll bet u dont even know what fascism is....b/c if u did, u would know that what obama is doing in NO WAY resembles fascism.

[putittogether]

I don't care if you don't understand it. I just want Obama to do exactly what he is doing. It is good for our nation that we unify in mass. The constitution is an old and worthless concept, we need to take this nation to the next level, and Obama can do that.

We need a national youth service core, national health care, a regulated big business, redistribution of ill gotten gains by wall street, an national forced energy renewal program, bigger and better schools, etc.

Fascism NOW!

OBAMA

[jrebstock]

48,000,000 americans do not have healthcare..most americans believe that is a problem that needs to be addressed with affordable health insurance (NOT FREE HEALTH CARE)..nothing is FREE.

unregulated BIG BUSINESS is what started this financial crisis....i'd say BIG BUSINESS (auto-makers, wall street and insurance industry) need serious regulation OVERHAULS re: responsible managements salarys. our education system could use improvement as well..as obama is attempting to do with serious reform.

[putittogether]

jrebstock -You are making more point for me, we need a national health care system that forces people to buy insurance like you say an "affordable health insurance", and this should be heavily regulated to protect the people.

And I agree we should use stringent regulation to manage "big business" and protect the people. We are 100% agreement!!!

Fascism Now Fascism FOREVER!!

OBAMA FOREVER!!

[jrebstock]

do a YOUTUBE search on:

Alan Keyes Obama Radical Communist .

watch the video...

Q.) do u agree with keyes comments?

[putittogether]

No I dont

[jrebstock]

your argument for FASCISM holds NO WATER...u claim to be in favor of FREE SPEECH....yet u praise FASCISM???....the two do not co-exist as a Fascist government suppresses all criticism and opposition to the government.

[putittogether]

Well we cant agree on every single point. But we agree on 95% of the points we made. You know that, so stop trying to be so divisive, and try coming together for once, for the benefit of the Nation as a hole. Don't hate love your fellow man, accept his support, and intern you should do the same.

[jrebstock]

good luck with your 'movement'.....u are not convincing anyone (with your hypocrisy) that FASCISM would benefit this nation.

[putittogether]

Again you are just jealous.

[jrebstock]

nobody is jealous of FASCISM.....fascism has the extreme(worst) characteristics of BOTH the far left...and the far right.....and is anti-religious.....which very few in the USA want.....again, good luck with your 'movement'....i'm not buying....nor is anyone else.

[NurembergPrinciples]

Great Post !!

[chunksloth]

Will Obama actually have the guts to prosecute Chimpy and his criminal gang?

I suspect not.

And if that's the case, Obama is just a worthless nigger to me.

[santitos2001]

Chunksloth you RAcist!!!!

that's why you are worthless to the rest of them.

[Anag2080]

uh you forget that the one who started this was a white man! moron.

[ffmusicdj]

... OOh wow ...

[uch]

america is a sick country

Democrats and Republicans are the same. They mock you and your political ignorance. They know that you get your "news" from what you see on TV, and what you read on Yahoo, and think you are informed, in fact they both count on your ignorance.

It is the oldest play in the book, and it works almost every time...divide and conquer.

They mock you. In 100 years, history will judge the public very harshly, for their ignorance and stupidity, for allowing the destruction of this country. So sad.

Simple math for dumb Americans:

Middle class working person's taxes in America:

23% Federal income tax

8% State income Tax

7.5% Social Security

7.5% Sales tax

6% Misc.

TOTAL 52%

Please note: Many hidden taxes were left out, and the real number is much higher, but to horrifying for your small minds to comprehend.

[putittogether]

All of the Federal Income Tax you pay, all of it, goes to a bank as profit, on loans to the government. Not one penny is spent on services of any kind, not one penny. You see only 35% of the budget comes from the income tax, the rest comes from other taxes collected by the government. This "bank" I am referring to is the Federal Reserve Bank. Which by the way is no more Federal than FedEx.

It in fact is a private bank. The best slaves are the ones that believe they are free.

[JimmyXXL]

Wow, just wow.

Way to show the proof in the pudding. If you can't expect your elected representatives to show you, their constituents, their people how they handle a kidnapping by a government of another nation. If there truly was security of the nation, wouldn't there be resources available to lend a hand and voice to two friends across the ocean?

[garthggarth]

2012, Obama should create a new cabinet member-

Secretary of Common Sense.

I've got a candidate.

[RZetlin]

The Bush administration has destroyed American's image for a very long time.

[souljaEXVOTO]

Badass Maddow schools the whole yard every single day.

[noncombatant50]

Once again, precise, patriotic, American.  Rachel Maddow is turning, very quickly, into an American treasure, a Buchwald/Bombeck, one show, then Cronkite/Woody Allen, then, more often lately, just Rachel Maddow. The political commentator who "tells it like it is". Fight the power.

[souljaEXVOTO]

well put.

[DoctorMontalban]

Cheney is such an evil m'f'er.

[samfhicks1978]

Rachel is wicked smart. This is one of the best editorials I've seen in some time. Thanks for posting it. Share it on Facebook, etc.

[integral]

Lovin' Rachel so much

So nice to have a really smart person talking about what's going on

Kinda like having a really smart guy in the White House
