Leftists can only succeed if good men don’t point at them and laugh. Ridicule, sneers and insults aimed at the right have become a trademark of MSNBC’s commentators, but Rachel Maddow took them to new heights last week providing an opportunity to turn the tables. Proving herself to be agenda-driven and ignorant, Maddow launched an uninformed assault against Alabama Tea Party candidate Les Phillip, a black businessman and Navy veteran who immigrated with his parents from Trinidad in his youth.

Following Meghan McCain’s recent appearance on ABC’s The View, which NRB covered here and here, where the ‘Valley Girl’ equated racism with a comment made at the Tea Party Convention regarding literacy tests for voting, Phillip responded with the statement,

“Ms. McCain has led a life of privilege and couldn’t understand the pressures of living paycheck to paycheck. I respect her father’s service to this country, but she ridicules what she cannot understand.”

Leaping to McCain’s defense, Maddow not only mocked Phillip but alleged he wants,

“To bring back Jim Crow era voting literacy tests that were used for generations in this country to deny black people the right to vote.”

That redleg woman wouldn’t stand a day without being called “Mister Maddow” on the beach.

The same thing Joe Trippi just did when discussing Sarah Palin with Geraldo and Ann Coulter. He thinks if he says Sarah isn't qualified enough times that will destroy her from running for President.

This coming from the guy who ran Howard Dean's campaign!

And who do you think he was defending tonight...Joe Biden. According to Trippi, Joe Biden put Dick Cheney in his place today. The White House didn't waste any time putting out the talking points to cover Biden’s stupid remarks as brilliant.

I wonder when the campaigner in chief is going to stop the partisan crap and run the country. /s We all know a community organizer is far more qualified than a former governor of a state. /s

From my experience, most liberal big shots are pretty well to do. If they weren’t, none of their loser friends would look up to them....
