Rachel Maddow had a very tough evening Friday. Before telling a 100 percent falsehood about Reaganomics on HBO's "Real Time," the MSNBC commentator said the Strategic Defense Initiative would never work because you can't shoot a missile out of the sky with another missile (Snip) You know what? Here's the country, here's the kind of thing you put over like a cake to protect the cake from flies. Missiles don't work that way. Thats the whole idea of SDI. We'll protect ourselves by shooting missiles at other missiles. Its never worked in a test. We spent billions on it.

Don’t tell her about Patriot missiles, she’ll go apoplectic at their mere name. Not to mention that they shoot missiles out of the sky.

I didn’t realize they rolled that much aerospace engineering into the Piled Higher and Deeper program at Oxford.

Maddow was either oblivious to these facts or was being disingenuous with her argument. She's oblivious or disingenuous with anything that doesn't fit her leftist agenda.

The dyke isn't dumb, but simply spewing a lie that will be believed and repeated if told enough times to hopelessly ignorant viewers.
Too many times I see posters here calling these tactics dumb when I'm of the opinion it's far from that. It's an agenda that has gained significant traction and is very effective when used on those who really don't follow the news very closely and believe what they are told without bothering to look up the facts for themselves.

This is up there with “fire can not melt steel” (according to world acclaimed metallurgist Rosie O’Donnell), the moon landings were faked, and CO2 is a pollutant (Stop breathing! You’re killing Gaia!).
The Hard Left are such (censored) idiots!

Rachel does not know what she a talking about. Watching her speak in her monolougue your mind spins.

There's a military museum at Gallipoli, in Turkey. It has various artifacts from the battle there during WW I. Among the exhibits are two examples of bullets colliding with each other in mid-air. Obviously, they weren't intended to do that. It's more an indication of how fierce the fighting was. Nevertheless, it shows that if you throw up enough lead, some of it's going to hit incoming rounds.
