Why do people watch such a lopsided show such as TRMS. My head hurts every time she opens her mouth.
Perhaps it's your head that is lopsided. A little jealousy maybe?
Yes the truth hurts
Us stupid liberals are just too dumb to watch something unbiased like the Orally Factor or Hannity. Plus, we're too poor to watch Glenn Beck online because we spent all of our food stamp money on tattoos, weed, and cigarettes. And, since we don't get up until 2PM, we can't listen to Rush.
However, the government gives out free televisions that only air networks owned by NBC, PBS, CSPAN, and Telemundo (for the illegal immigrants!), so we have fewer choices than you rich conservative folk.
That pain you're feeling is your synapses firing. We call that "thinking".
Rachel Maddow Rules !...
What I want to know is when is Rachel Maddow going to take over Meet The Press ?..
@Percy Chambers...
My eyes hurt everytime I look at your profile picture !.. so whats your point ?..
Than change the channel back to your Fox News - not rocket science - and as long as a Democrat is in office it is still a Democracy, no one forces you to watch.
i think she ate too much p^((y for lunch
You must like her, even a little, you are on her blog.
Sorry I missed it - so tell us why do you watch it?
hey rachel, how about "vulturecare"
@paul in dayton...
I believe its called "Obamacare".
And in case you were busy cleaning up your guns and listening to Pat Robertson on the 700 club , and did not get a chance to watch the R.N.C. Clint Eastwood gave a perfect example last night of why the geriatric population in this country really needs it.
Hey, Rachel......just want to say thanks for getting Michael Steele to come on your show....I actually really enjoy him....!!!
I watch it every night she's on, Percy. I'm a former Republican, Vietnam Vet, college graduate and political science major. Let's hear you say something bad about me.
Stop tootin your own horn..I have over 30 years of military service.
@Percy Chambers...
30 years of military experience ?.. was that as a cook ?..
How many potatos did you peel for all those years ?..
Isn't that just like a Tea Partier?
They adore the military (it's okay to toot your own horn if you have 30 years of military service) but anyone who served as well but disagrees with you should shut up. Nice.
The Salvation Army is not military service!
I have more than a few years in the military, and I encountered way too many careerists who were nothing but arrogant, self-serving jackasses.
Amen to that! Many of them were only interested in gaining rank no matter how.There were some good ones but they are not likely to boast about their service.
Then WHY are you watching her?
And yet Rove-- the would-be Aiken assassin is "impressed" with Linda McMahon's campaign in Connecticut... yikes!
Hi Rachel - the Rolling Stone piece on Bain from yesterday seems to be getting lost. I'm worried about it getting totally lost once the Dems start on Monday...I hope you pick it up!!
Good point. I never look at Twitter (except Keith Olbermann because that's pretty much the only place to find him these days), but I did look at the President's to see the "Eastwood zinger," and even his account had a link to the Rolling Stone story...
http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/the-federal-bailout-that-saved-mitt-romney-20120829
But no one covers the RNC convention, especially the Eastwood thing, like Jon Stewart. I loved Rachel's reaction to it, but Jon can and does go much further.

i think you have had too much p%((y to eat
Love her or hate her you must admit that Rachel Maddow unequivocally has the most expressive face of anyone on television.
Although she has toned it down quite a bit since she started. I used to have fun watching her eyebrows and attempting to guess what it was she was thinking. She's gotten better at her poker face- which makes me a sad panda. It's a lot harder to read her thoughts via facial expressions now.
Ooh, looks like the trolls came over on a little field trip!
Be sure to hold hands while crossing the street, kids! Stay with your buddy!
Ode to Percy
With Love, MG
The RNC party all but done
From the depths arose the Jotunn
To spread her message of hate
But don't take the bait
Tis only an angry troll rerun
Bunch of haters here.
I don't think that phrase means what you think it means
Yes the Maddow blog is a bunch of informed, educated haters! Stay with FOX news where all is sweetness and light..
I actually liked your comment of all so far. The most irritating thing about RM is she always seem to hold back laughter the entire time she talks. What is that all about?
Every one else that commented is just venting. They should try some relaxation techniques.
Your interpretation of someone who has different political views than you being automatically negative on the basis of that difference?
Or the fact that she's wicked immature. Not sure why that bothers you.
I could tolerate her better if it didn't seem like she is holding back laughing out loud whenever she talks. She always seem to conjure or opine interpretations as if that is what actually was said or had happened. Her loyal followers just eat it up. It's not news or facts that she talks. People seem to use her as a news source though.
Name a fact that she presented that wasn't a fact, explain what "news" is and how she has not covered news. I would beg to differ with you on both. You're confusing the fact that she often fact checks against claims made by Republicans with her a. advocating a counter position and b. advocating that something is wrong with Republicans.
I am still trying to figure out why a person being silly bothers you.
Percy said:
Perhaps you would prefer a commentator who looks constipated and crabby all the time (like Rush does) or perhaps with Bell's palsy, to prevent a smile? Remember, you're never fully dressed without a smile.
TRMS is a political news and commentary show. She is a news commentator. That's her job. At least she doesn't lie, like her conservative counterparts on other networks do. And I'd wager she's the only one with a PhD. She has the credentials and experience to opine.
If you don't like the show, don't watch it (and stop trolling).
Fisrt, what you call lying they call the truth. It is a numbers game. Though i find it funny that numbers do not lie and well her show does not usally crack a million a night where as her counterpart Sean Hannity usually runs between 1.5 and 1.9 million with same access to audience. Also, she was on the radio before come to MSNBC on that failed liberal radio network where as Sean Hannity is on at least 300 stations daily. I am not lying here this are facts that are on liberal sites like tvbythenumbers.com and radioinfo.com. OH and arbitron.com. I think lies are not numbers do not lie..
@MSnbcissocialismsfinest: Ah, no... Facts are facts. A billion people swearing the earth is flat does not make it so.
Perhaps Sean Hannity just has more initiative to do all those things than her..... TRMS is the ONLY MSNBC show I watch because it usually requires some thought. Can't listen to the other blowhards and baiters in that MSNBC political commentary sandwich. Watching them carry-on for four days of convention coverage reiterated that. I think they even drug her down a bit (hence the troll-thread).
I hope they can get some better co-host to work with her before the debates and election night coverage comes around.
Well, if you take into account our ecomony is still struggling out of the pits the Republicans left us in and that MSNBC costs you to watch while Fox is a freebie, I would say that there are alot of people that would be watching Rachel if they could afford the additional cost.
Percy, it amazing how the right seems to think it is ok to be rude and unchristian with remarks while claiming their dedication to God who asks us to help the sick and feed the poor - all while your party thinks that only the rich gets healthcare and who also are willing to only throw their leftover crumbs to the poor - in order to follow Ayn Rand's theories on selfishness. So what is your point? I am ready to listen....
How can anybody vote Republican this year?
The convention was a dog and pony show.
Romney visits 3 foreign country's to show has foreign policy experience. Blurts out statements to the press from a secret MI6 meeting. Tries to start a war with Iran using Israel as his straw man.
The dirty tricks party suppressing the vote in there controlling states unconstitutionally
Causing a 10% approval for congress by tabling job creating bills. Filibustering the ones passed by the senate majority 67 times.
Forcing there religious beliefs on women. (as the Taliban do)
Promise job creation with no debatable plan. As they did in 2010 only to use there majority power to do nothing on jobs and do a job on women's heath issues
These are scary times, lies as plain as the nose on Poncho, aired by PACs under the radar the Truth and advertising laws...
Wow, yep, so much anger, hmmm...Obama has been President the last 4 years. Oh yeah, it's the Republicans fault.
Yep
People... I actually had a meaningful conversation with my rocking chair tonight...
My chair told me that it actually met Clint Eastwood a longtime ago while it was being auction off on a foreclosed mansion out in California and that Clint actually tried to pick it up...
My chair also said that Clint Eastwood would try to make conversation with it , but it found him to be too much of Crazy pot smoking Octogenarian Senile Prick..
True story... Thats what my chair said....
@Percy Chambers ..
"Its the republicans fault ".. yes , thats the most intelligent comment you have made by far , you are right its Mitch MacConnells , John "orange glow" Boehners and Eric Cantors fault , you are absolutely correct on that point...
1. http://www.cbpp.org/research/index.cfm?fa=topic&id=29 Check out the site, Shows Chart that the Deficit is based on Economic Downtown, Financial Rescues and Legacy of Bush Policies Drive Record Deficits.
2. 1/20/09 dinner meeting at the Caucus Room, in attendance 13 Republican Elected Officials which included Ryan and Cantor. At this dinner meeting they adopted the "Just Say No" plan which they have executed perfectly. The only problem about that plan was it was paid for by the Citizens of this Country, but not to worry they collected their salaries, have excellent health insurance and have no problem keeping their homes.
3. Mitch McConnell - our only goal is to make this President a one term President. Silly me here I thought his first and only goal would have been to do his job and work in a bi-partisian manner to help our Country Recover.
So Yes - it is the Republicans fault.
Blame Obama for a congress that refuses to accept any sane proposals --even the ones their republican party drew up prior to Obama getting in office.
Sheep are fodder for the shearing FOX.
Percy is playing a juvenile prank - I get it - I am giggling. So if you are having a slumber party and the girls are giggling - another great video to watch is Paul Ryan's speech at the convention - the lies are entertaining and something you will really enjoy being the prankster you are. But I do hope Percy, when you are old enough to vote, do yourself a favor and be independent and serious fact check both sides. Then you can get into an adult conversation and contribute because this really is important to our nation. Hope you continue to have fun at your slumber party and a fun trick is when the first girl falls asleep - take her bra and wet it and put it in the freezer. That one always got laughs at the slumber parties I attended years go. God Bless You, Sweetie and I can't wait until you are old enough to see the importance in our political process.
Hater
Clint Eastwood, memed (transcribed). http://bit.ly/R388r9
I actually disagree with most people's analysis on Eastwood's rambling.
I think he perfectly enacted the current state of the republican party.
The real reason Eastwood was there is that he's got a new movie coming out. Stir up some @!$%#, Get his name trending, etc. Then when old people hear "directed by clint eastwood" they think "hey, he's a conservative, probably safe to go see that movie".
After Tampa, it's pretty clear. The only hope for the Republicans to win in November is what they've been pushing to white indie voters for a year now: BLACKLASH!
Hey rachel Big Fan Here I watch every single show of yours. I like the ideas you try to bring through your show. I been watching this guy video on you tube which by suprise works for FOX he is really amazing here is a link of his videos http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKJaVJpJ-FI&feature=autoplay&list=ULPZjXHjkzMD4&playnext=13
He's pretty good, but I think that there's a fairly major difference between a Fox News programme and a Fox affiliated one.
I'm surprised (and a little disappointed) no one's pointed out that Rip Nomney said "our future is our desiny". Thanks god for DVR, because i was sure he'd said 'density" and I had to hit rewind like 12 times to be sure. yup, it's official (3:13 on the video), desiny, not density, but also not destiny.
Kind of a slurer like GW was, don't you think?
My last post before I'm out. Obama has got to go...
@Percy Chambers...
Thanks for leaving and can you take that ugly picture with you ?..
that comment explains the reason why msnbc is laughable.. u make fun of a person picture.. dude come on.. was that called for???? the reason people do not watch is because of people like you and to get a dig... look at rachel pic... dike.. yes i am sorry..and i am gay.. but come on stop with the freaking hair... be a woman... not feel good either huh..hehe idiots...
Why? After all it is congress that has obstructed everything. But it is your right to vote as you see fit--unless you don't have a drivers license or a way to the new polling station that moved to the other side of the moon.
What has to go is the republican party that seeks to get rid of democracy!
Arrogant, petulant, whining trolls like Percy, and its sockpuppet, are a perfect illustration of the moral and intellectual bankruptcy of the American right. They are despicable and then get all self-righteous when people openly despise them, as they deserve.
this clip is good http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Llg-a8FamJg&feature=autoplay&list=ULcQvszfnOSY8&playnext=18
Did everyone dismiss everything that Clint Eastwood said because he rambled and was rude and obnoxious? Did no one hear him ask the empty chair the question, "Did you not think about how well Russia did in Afghanistan before sending our troops there?" Remember troops were sent in 2002! President Obama took office in 2009!
With his age-related thought processes slowing him down he expressed some thoughts about several issues that concerned him through the years. And then he blamed the current President like many politicians blame the other party, regardless of the truth.
Just wondering and just sayin'. I'm posting to Rachel.
Paul Ryan unknowingly validated Prez Obama's "you didn't build it" speech at the RNC when he explained how his Mom started her small business. According to Ryan, his Mom had to ride two buses to the college she had just enrolled in. After she graduated, she started her business. This is what the Prez was talking about.
Was that when the Caddy was in the shop? She was married to a successful lawyer, for pete's sake. Do you mean to tell me that the RICH Ryan family took everything away from her when her husband died? NOT HARDLY!!! More Lyin Ryan!
Ummm we built this means. I as an american without the help of the government built this. I paid my own way not the governments!! That is what we built this means. I think people do not understand what the president did to himself with those statements. It is so laughable.. I think the saddest things i read is so many of you truly believe Socialism will work. But look at Europe it is colasping and in the last 3 years 8 months we ran up more debt than Europe has right now. We have 4.5 Trillion with a T and Europe is about to colapse with less than that. And they got their debt for Socialism!!!! i think that something is wrong here.
You just don't get it do you? Europe is collapsing because of "austerity" - those same economic policies the right wing nuts want to place on us!!! AMAZING how you can deny that which you can see with your own eyes and yet "believe" the propaganda that EVERYBODY knows is nonsense!!
Seeking alpha isn't propaganda, it is a business/investing website. Look what it has to say:
http://seekingalpha.com/article/828511-what-s-debt-got-to-do-with-it-a-lot
I'm betting you could read this article and still believe the propaganda being fed to you by the rightwingnuts. You've given up thinking for yourself because that "propaganda" tastes sooo gooood!!!
Once...,
He/she/it is nothing but a totally worthless troll of the sort who perfectly illustrates two verses from the Bible:
Proverbs 26:11 As a dog returns to its vomit, so a fool repeats his folly.
Proverbs 26:12 Do you see a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for
him.
Yea, I know I probably should just put them on "ignore", but JEEZ, lately they are crawling all over place - makes me want to get out my can of Raid and spray my computer!!
If you "ignore" them they will spew verbal vomit at will and then congratulate themselves that everybody is afraid of them. It's an old internet troll trick.
Listen if Barack Obama were to fart at the State of the Union adress , republicans would acuse him of trying to get rid of them by using poison gas...
The republican party from top to bottom have absolutely no respect for this president..
They dont fear him , because time and again Obama has demonstrated an inability to put up a fight even when the American people are on his side of the issue...
He let Dick Cheney and the bush administration escape prison time for crimes against humanity , He let the pharmaceuticals and the Hospital and Insurance lobby write his Obamacare legislation , He let the Wall Street crooks responsible for the Economic Collapse of 2008 walk free not holding any of them accountable , He let the Banking industry crooks who ilegaly foreclosed on milllions of middle class americans get a free get out of jail card , Barack Obama has been a serious dissapointment when it comes to applying the RULE OF LAW , to those 1% of americans who believe that being rich automaticly makes them ABOVE THE LAW...
Attorney General ERIC HOLDER has been a total disgrace to the men and women who have served under his leadership...
I will only vote for Obama this year because he has become the lesser of two evils , not because I believe in his leadership , Hillary Rodham Clinton has bigger balls than Barack Obama , unbelievable but TRUE..
well said.
But her husband, when President, crashed Glass-Stegall and negotiated Fair Trade agreements that resulted in companies closing American plants and sending jobs overseas. While I, too, would have liked for this President to hold those who caused our near depression accountable, I'm not sure Hillary's balls would have caused any different outcome for those same crooks Obama has not prosecuted. She's a talented woman, but flawed, just as President Obama is, so I wouldn't put her on that pedestal yet.
I am not putting her on a pedestal.. But if there was one thing I took away from the primary fight between her and Obama , is that she demonstrated a will to FIGHT to the bitter end. Something Obama has not done since getting elected president. On the contrary , Barack Obama for all his Rhetorical skills does not like to put up a fight. Not even when the majority of the American people are behind him.
And I am not a fan of Bill Clinton at all , yes he and Alan Greenspan are partly responsible for the economic collapse of 2008 , having both of them worked and signed legislation that eliminated Glass-Stegall from the federal books ,one of the worst mistake of Bill Clintons presidency , that and allowing OSAMA BINLADEN to get away when the C.I.A. had him and were asking permission to kill him..
I would love to see Wall Street and the banks that caused our financial collapse prosecuted for their actions, but unfortunately you have to prosecute based on the laws. The prior administrations had removed all the laws that would have prevented their greed and grift to cause a collapse. You cannot prosecute a criminal when the crime is not a crime under the law. It would be nice if the current administration could go back and apply the Dodd-Frank act to the actions, but even our President has to live under the constraints of due process.
My boss in 2004 predicted this collapse when the sub-prime bill was passed. Where was our protection in Congress? Where was our protection in the White House? When have you heard any Republican calling for prosecution of these creeps? President Obama has signed into law the Dodd-Frank bill and the Republicans have blocked and stalled any and every attempt invoke its application.
It's time to stop treating our President as a failure because of what the Republicans have done or worse yet accusing him of being a coward. He tried to close Gitmo - Congress stopped him. The only way he can get his appointments through is to do it himself when Congress is in recess. He has legal limitations that he has to work with, and I am tired of all the blame he carries because he has had to fight like Perseus against the Kraken to get even the most innocuous bill through the House of Representatives and the Senate.
C'mon folks, when you walk in his shoes you can make your judgements, but I have never seen such disrespect and obstruction toward any President prior to President Obama. I can see the Republicans being resentful and ugly, but I am really discouraged to see the comments dissing him from those people who should be supporting him. Even the Minnesota Vikings have fans that still hope they will win the next game. Most of the time Americans are fair-minded. I defy any of you who are complaining to do better in his shoes.
I think we go back from about 2003 to 2008 many wished the former president dead!! so please stop your complaining. I think in the end the Country is divided because of people like Rachel who would rather put the other side down personally than look at their policies. Oh yes she does talk policies but personal attacks of racism bigotry are thrown all through. Remember, repubicians never controlled anything. First 2 years democrats controlled both houses and white house. In 2010 the house went to repulicians but still 2 out of the 3 were democrat controlled. I think that if something to fix the country was going to be done Your party had time. Give the Republicians 4 years and sit back and shut up and watch!! I know that the personal attacks will continue but at least something might change... and if it was anyone else but a black President.. would we be having this conversation of racism... I dont care if he is purple he didn't do the job.... Fire him!!!!
What was your screenname before yesterday? Because I KNOW I have seen this exact same thing posted before by someone - was it you or is it just a script you cut and past from some extreme rightwing blog?
AND it has been debunked so many times, that I am tired of talking about it. But this thing I will say.
No YOU DIDN'T BUILD IT - YOU TORE IT DOWN!!! Because of your GREED and the GREED of people just like you, YOU tore down our economy and YOU voted for the teabaggers who REFUSE to do ANYTHING to build it back up!
Did you hear me?
YOU DIDN'T BUILD IT - YOU TORE IT DOWN!!!
This site is obviously full of troll sockpuppets, and the powers that be do nothing about them.
Oh, it sure is!! There is no limit to the number of email accounts you can get these days!
The problem Mr. Nest is that baby Bush just about destroyed this country with the no tax for the rich laws and two wars put on a credit card. Many countries in history have destroyed their economy fighting unjust wars (Bush was not interested in Alcida). Then throw in the housing market bubble and banking greed, you have a perfect storm. We are real lucky to be where we are at today, no thanks to the Republicain party. With four more years of bad Republican economics we may not have a country at all.
