Rachel Maddow on Leno: Limbaugh Should Back Socialism Once It's Enacted
Newsbusters ^ | March 5, 2009 - 16:47 ET | Tim Graham

Posted on 03/05/2009 2:18:59 PM PST by chuck_the_tv_out

In a nice stroke of NBC corporate synergy, radical-left MSNBC host Rachel Maddow appeared Tuesday night on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and when the topic turned to Rush Limbaugh, Maddow insisted that it’s one thing for Rush to oppose Obama’s socialist agenda before it passes, but once it becomes law, he should salute and get behind it

(Snip)

This is not the approach Maddow took to the Iraq war: that she opposed it, but it became government policy, so she rooted for it to succeed. Take Maddow on Countdown with Keith Olbermann on September 13, 2007. She expects Limbaugh to support Obama, but she wasn’t expected to root for President Bush

“Get behind it and salute it”?

I saw this, and she was sickening, so I turned it off. Jay was asking questions from a conservative viewpoint, reinforcing my impression that he is a closet conservative. Maybe after his new show comes on the air he will come out of that closet and join Dennis Miller.

I don't think so, I was disgusted last night with Jay and his attack on Rush.

Actually Dennis Miller wasn’t a closet conservative. He’s a reformed liberal, who “saw the light” and realized just how wrong liberalism is.

And maybe Leno is just now starting to see the light, and asking himself “What was I thinking all these years?”.

Funny, when Joe The Plumber blew up and Obama was called a Socialist, all hell broke loose, how dare we!, right wing hate mongers, etc.

Now we’re all supposed to like it, Newsweak (We’re All Socialists Now), etc.

You’ve even got Jim Cramer calling O’s policies Leninist. Now we’re supposed to give Socialism a chance? All we are saying....I’m sure Yoko will write a new version.

I'm Glad I'm a Man
I'm glad I'm a man, you better believe.
I don't live off of yogurt, diet coke, or cottage cheese
I don't bitch to my girlfriends about the size of my breasts
I can get where I want to - north, south, east or west
I don't get wasted after only 2 beers
And when I do drink I don't end up in tears.

I won't spend hours deciding what to wear,
I spend 5 minutes max fixing my hair
And I don't go around checking my reflection
in everything shiny from every direction.
I don't whine in public and make us leave early
And when you ask why get all bitter and surly.

I'm glad I'm a man, I'm so glad I could sing
I don't have to sit around waiting for that ring.
I don't gossip about friends or stab them in the back
I don't carry our differences into the sack.
I'll never go psycho and threaten to kill you
Or think every guy out there's trying to steal you.

I'm rational, reasonable, and logical too
I know what the time is and I know what to do.
And I honestly think it's a privilege for me
To have these two balls and stand when I pee
I live to watch sports and play all sorts of ball
It's more fun than dealing with women after all

I won't cry if you figure out it's not going to work
I won't remain bitter and call you a jerk.
Feel free to use me for immediate pleasure
I won't assume it's permanent by any measure.

Yes, I'm glad I'm a man, a man you see
I'm glad I'm not capable of child delivery
I don't get all bitchy every 28 days
I'm glad that my gender gets me a much bigger raise
I'm a man by chance and I'm thankful it's true
I'm so glad I'm a man and not a woman like you!

I forgot to add that if Al Franken didn't have his Senate campaign, MSNBC would have brought him in. His continual financial double dealings when he was on the radio even had liberals angry. Randi Rhodes was too unstable on and off air to be reliable. MSNBC decided they needed a leftist host for some reason and went with their 3rd choice ( Maddow ) the least sucky of the bunch. She had the highest ratings of the remaining field of leftists.

>>>> Now we’re supposed to give Socialism a chance? <<<<<

Which reminds me that even the idiot leftists who call C-SPAN knew long in advance of Nov 4 that Zer0 stood for Socialism with a capital “S”.

I recall actually hearing more than one say “We’ve given capitalism a chance, and even though it looks like Socialism, now we need to give the other way a chance.”

Yep. That’s what many said. Literally.

On a stack of Bibles.

I have never understood the mindset of the females who, when they discovered they were never going to be beautiful women, decided to spend the rest of their lives looking like really ugly men. And I really don’t understand the mindset of the women who want to date them!
