Right .. and when you don't agree with Republicans, you're either "anti-American" or "not patriotic." At least she doesnt' question anyone's love of this country.

[Numinous123]

Actually, she does try to get people on her show to debate with her, but most right wingers are afraid to.

By the way, two guy, being a bigot doesn't make you look very bright. She's a woman. Her sexual orientation doesn't invalidate her knowledge or opinions.

She's a Rhodes scholar, an Ivy league graduate, had a popular radio show, and is one of the most popular personalities on her network. Can you top any of that?

I'm not even gay, and I found your comment idiotic.

There is only one thing I love about George W. Bush,

The fact that he is no longer in the white house!

ey! shut da fuck up!

[curetheingorant]

America is undeniably an idiocracy, so why is it so surprising that W as elected President? Twice? There is no such thing as a stupid President, only stupid people who elect him into office.

@jonbongjo...maybe I will and perhaps (probablY) wrong about my assessment of his Obama opinions, I just have a prejudiced view against Taibbi because of his arrogant demeanor as he refers to ppl disenfranchised with the gvt as 'paranoid' and those who know the truth about 911 as 'dickwads' and the pompous, haughty, in-your-face sneer he wears as he speaks to his audience.

He just spews disdain for the uneducated commoner or even the educated yuppies that think they're a part of the system.

@911insidejo8

you're wrong about Taibbi, he's not some partisan media jackass. Look up the article he wrote for Rolling Stone headlined "Obama's Big Sellout", it should change your mind on him

[911insidejo8]

Taibbi's job is to prop up the ridiculously contrived phony left/right paradigm by conning the proletariat into thinking Bush is the devil and Obama is God when the reality is they're both disloyal globalists that serve the predatory ruling class.

Of course Taibbi, who also serves the predatory ruling class, knows that. He's just hoping that you don't.

@Paolo7219 not really.. the Bush family didn't hit it big till his grandfather married into a wealthy family the Walkers..Prescott Bush was a tire salesman..here is a family history u might be interested in watch?v=hkojpgNZD9I

[xadam2dudex]

there are still 27% of people that think GW Bush was a good president..it shows how stupid a lot of people are..the rich I can understand since he made them richer than they have been in 1/2 a century..Matt is right on in his opinion of Bush

[bartonim]

Taibbi, I'm afraid, would wipe you up with one single bang at his computer keyboard. Thumbs down, by the way.

Wow....with all the Obama broohaha, I forgot how much better it is than when Bush was in DC. I can't believe he actually thinks he did a good job as President? People can't use the "he kept us safe!" line: the Patriot Act did more damage to our democratic system than a terrorist ever could. The Iraq war was retarded, too: Iraq never attacked us. Period. Killing over 100,000 people to try and prove himself to "daddy" is ridiculous. Hands down the worst President in history.
