This is fantastic, the first real investigative journalism I've seen on TV in a long time. Maddow rocks my socks. Now, if we could just get more than five people at a time to watch MSNBC...

I am a white man and I despise Fox news but to Fox news viewers, I will be described as a black lover! Let me tell you what Fox lovers, you are the ones stopping America from being a true America. Stopping healthcare, gay rights! I know many gays who could whoop Fox viewers hands down! So, if you think your bad asses on Fox think that thgey are that bad you had better have second thoughts you hate filled SOB's!

so average middle class Americans are thugs? So if your idea is not an idea that belongs to the fold then your instantly a cancer that should be eliminated? From what i heard, Id rather be a part of the elite than "average".

I wonder how long the corporations can continue to do this. Capitalists are well known for being RIDICULOUSLY short-sighted. It's all about the next three months profits. And that's backfired on them more then once.

And you know, if the corporations put the US in early industrialization age misery again, I bet that'll backfire on them too. People take misery when everyone's miserable, but when they where previously having a better time they DON'T take misery, they revolt.

And by the way read the constitution or magna carta - that shit don't say nothing about a RIGHT to healthcare- and when it's forced it's not a right it's oppression- and UK has death panels the same as we do now under Obamacare

Why are people arguing with eachother? We are not hate eachother rather teach each other - this news clip was designed to make those will damaged mindstates kill eachother while these people are watching and laughing- the problems are everywhere an they are the result of NWO period wake up- bankers got you by the nuts making everyone fight ourselves instead of fighting them- the corporate media feeds their agenda and if you don't believe that take your ass to a library and read 1984 then maybe

[rogiesonzaph]

[weseyedwalk]

@rogiesonzaph I've never once ever received a welfare check you racist son of a bitch. Maybe when Islam enslaved your stupid asses you will learn your lessen, but then it will be too late and you people will ask us for help. Sorry, I don't think we should help your islands ,, again!

[rogiesonzaph]
