Rachel Maddow exposes "The Parasite"

From Think Progress (http://thinkprogress.org/2009/10/16/afp-corporate-parasites/) MSNBCs Rachel Maddow called Tim Phillips out for using deceptive tactics and fear in his campaigns, noting in particular his role in creating the ads which portrayed former Sen. Max Cleland (D-GA) — a triple amputee and Vietnam war veteran — as a terrorist sympathizer. Phillips stood by every single example of his work for his Republican and corporate clients, adding that he indeed does believe Cleland didnt have the courage to lead on the war on terror.
Rachel Maddow extracted confessions from Tim Phillips that he had in fact worked for a Jack Abramoff client to pressure members of Congress to vote against legislation that would have made the U.S. commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands — where Chinese workers were forced into prostitution and mandatory abortions — subject to federal wage and worker safety laws. Even given the deplorable conditions at the sweatshops, Phillips was unrepentant. I dont have an issue with it, said Phillips, adding, Im not going to disown it.

So Tim Philips is the corporate suit who shouted out 'solution!' when the geezer on the stage couldn't remember the term 'final solution' to describe healthcare reform.

@mrelcoyote (cont.) Starting in homosexuality is a violation of honor to parents, of obedience to God, of cultural norms, and a violation of conscience. Making that many moral violations, what's the significance of one more about the age of seduction? That's the reality the media WON'T speak. NAMBLA used to proudly and loudly speak out until they were "corralled" into being quiet for the "sake of the cause."

You moral cowards better start speaking up before this country is down the toilet!

@mrelcoyote Are you too cowardly to say there is something wrong with being a lesbian? There's a lot wrong with it. If you don't think there's anything wrong with it, then why bring it up? Homosexuality is perverted and the problem wouldn't be as bad as it is if America wasn't filled with cowards who kept their mouths shut because they didn't want criticism for not being PC.

There's tremendous dishonesty about the connection between homosexuality and pedophilia. (cont.)

pol pot "dude" is right. and the lesbian woman on the tv is a crybaby not that there's anything wrong with that

@stonerbudkap Really? That's all you have to say? Something moderately degrading? In the face of all of this intelligence and capacity you make a dick joke? Get over your penis. The rest of us have long ago.

Rachel Maddow's word is SOLID gold she isn't a hack, she is a GREAT American who cares and like so many of you she despises lies, hypocrisy etc and thank God we have someone with "balls" (joke) to expose them and take them on and not twist the facts. WEIRD the first person to ever make a RECORD calling health care for all socialism was Republican fraud Ronald Reagan, there are many Democrats that suck but when it comes to Republicans they are a CORPORATE party. They represent the corporations
