Ya gotta love Rachel's expression at 6:43 !!

Horrible woman! What man in his right mind would want to marry that thing? Mr Cohen has patience of Budda! I'd have just walked out of the studio!!!!!

@dukeofbute

Attack her, the messenger, all you want... it's what fringe Rightists do when they can't refute something with corroboration. We understand. We get that. But your weakness at argument still would not belie the FACT that there's no independently verifiable corroboration for this guy's methods. NONE.

And think about it: if there was, then do you TRULY believe that *he* would be the one cornering the market?

[calf2004]

She's agressive and shows no tolerance. An interiew is not to manipulate the guest, and guides him to your (her) point of view.

[ImmortalSynn]

@calf2004

What do you expect her to do, with someone peddling crap that's been disproven or disagreed with by nearly all major psychological associations in the west.... sit there and let it go unchallenged? That's then called a fluff piece, not an interview.

[calf2004]

@ImmortalSynn

man, what r u saying?

everyone has the right to disagree, i mean, what each comunity says, history shows that sometimes she's wrong. What everybody says never is what causes a revolution, but what a single man sometimes, may be the answer... I

@calf2004

"everyone has the right to disagree"

Sure, but that in no way means that their disagreement is backed up by fact.

"but what a single man sometimes"

Think about what you just said:

as much hatred as there is for gay people out there... do you REALLY think that if this "curing" nonsense PROVABLY worked, that THIS lone dope would be the one cornering the market??

Or do you think every major corporation/pharmaceutical out there would be on this, with billions in support?

[Alatarielle]

"you're taking this out of context, Rachel..."

"No, I'm reading it out from you, dude."

hahaha, gotta love her!

"What a dyke"

Wow, it must be Obvious Day on planet Duhhhh!

Where can we meet other geniuses like you?!

He is so -closeted- gay that in a bit he'll do the whole turn and become a lesbian.

[shanegilsig]

@dukeofbute you're an absolute moron.

@dukeofbute

She's actually completely correct and is being extremely polite to him considering that his books are filled with lies, misconceptions, and propaganda. He is not licensed. His actions are not ethical under any standard.

Considering that Rachel is a lesbian, she's giving him a LOT of patience considering all of his bullshit. He is essentially telling her that she's wrong... when she's right. He's the ignorant one... and clearly you are too.

[boomtao]

She has indeed treated her guest fairly. More than fairly I would say. Maddow's respect and polite courteousness toward this charlatanical fool has earned my respect.

[Girlforaction]

When I think of Rachel Maddow I think of her as a smart journalist who does her homework way before I think of her sexuality. Regardless of her orientation, she is a brilliant researcher.

[art0neable]

@musicalywhoo She is most likely lesbian

Rachel, you're my hero. -3
