She can't trip him up during the interview so she is reduced to name-calling at the end.

On the June 3, 2009 Rachel Maddow Show on MSNBC, host Rachel Maddow cited a false quote attributed to Rush Limbaugh in which the radio host supposedly said he wanted to award Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassin the Medal of Honor. Since Limbaugh expressed interest in becoming part owner of the St. Louis Rams in October, several MSNBC hosts have repeated that and other false quotes. Reacting to Limbaugh calling then Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor a racist, Maddow declared: “When you get called racist by the guy who says the assassin of Martin Luther King, Jr. should get the...

Video at link. I stumbled across this. I was surprised to see a lefty pointing out Obama's double-speak.

Not since Whorealdo got all excited about that vault and got humiliated on national TV has there been such an epic failure by a "News" host. I think Maddow was under the impression that since Tom Ridge had agreed to be on her show, and since he made the "political pressure" comment, that he was going to lend credence to what she and Olberman had been talking about for years. Maybe he was going to trash republicans on MSNBC to try and pimp his book. NOT!!!!LOL Ridge shot down every conspiracy nutroots talking point she threw at him. Ridge totally...

Rachel Maddow, gun lover? Well, sort of - and with some strings attached, of course. The MSNBC host of the "The Rachel Maddow Show" appeared on Jimmy Fallon's Aug. 31 NBC show and told the host about her first date - at a shooting range. "My first date with my girlfriend Susan was at a shooting range," Maddow said. "That was awesome. It was ladies' day on the range. Her sister is a lifetime NRA member and she was organizing ladies' day on the range at her gun club. So we did it. We shot AR-15s and we threw tomahawks...

On Sunday's "Meet the Press," a bit of a squabble happened when panelists Dick Armey and Rachel Maddow bickered over whether or not MoveOn.org once ran an ad equating former President George W. Bush to Adolf Hitler. Regardless of who was right, someone should instruct Maddow as to the difference between being a guest and a host, for her continual interruptions when Armey was speaking, though quite commonplace for an MSNBC anchor, were downright rude. Just watch what happened when host David Gregory asked the very first question directed at Armey (video embedded below the fold with partial transcript, relevant...

MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow “apologized” on Friday for her false report the previous night that conservative public relations executive Craig Shirley was somehow behind a Web site that hosted incendiary anti-Obama video, a site funded by a group called Grassfire.org. “I apologize for saying that they [Shirley & Banister Public Affairs] were still currently involved in representing Grassfire. They are not,” she admitted. Undeterred, Maddow then ludicrously tried to impugn Shirley & Banister by connecting them to the anti-ObamaCare protests (as if that would be a bad thing) through a convoluted set of associations. She then displayed Friday’s NewsBusters’ article on...

The Rachel Maddow Show: Calling the Republicans' Bluff on Health Care ReformBy Heather Friday Jul 31, 2009 6:00pm Rachel Maddow talks to Rep. Anthony Weiner, who threw down the gauntlet on health care reform, and forced the Republicans to vote on an amendment abolishing Medicare. Rachel reports on the battle going on between those in Congress who are representing the interests of the insurance companies, and those representing the interests of their constituents. Maddow: As for the many, many cries against a publicly funded insurance plan, well Democratic Congressman Anthony Weiner of New York is all over it. Congressman Weiner...

Here's Frank Schaeffer, the David Brock of the religious right, on Rachel Maddow characterizing all conservatives as dangerous nutjobs. Rachel Maddow guest, author Frank Schaeffer, summarizes The Right Wing

On her MSNBC program Tuesday, Rachel Maddow lampooned Republican objections to government-run healthcare proposals, misrepresenting those objections to a degree so great that they were rendered unrecognizable. Sporting the customary, condescending sneer she routinely dons in order to express just how daffy she thinks conservatives are, Maddow, with an air of incredulity, explained that Congressional Republicans are portraying the Democrat plan for healthcare reform as being “secretly a plan to kill old people.”

Here is audio of Lou Dobbs today on his radio show where Lou Dobbs called Rachel Maddow of MSNBC the "tea-bagging queen" who is intellectually dishonest. Dobbs said he is not a "birther." Dobbs said he has stated repeatedly, "Barack Obama is a citizen of the United States. Why don't you release your birth certificate?" . . . . (Watch Video)

There are few conservative thinkers for whom I have more affection than William F. Buckley, Jr., the father of the modern American Conservative Movement. And I couldn’t help but think of him as I watched MSNBC host Rachel Maddow’s All-Republican-Bashing-All-The-Time program. Among one of my favorite Buckley witticisms is this: “You know, I’ve spent my entire life time separating the Right from the kooks.”

I'm sure the talk show host can defend himself just fine; however, the following shows just how low MSNBC will go to trash Republicans and conservatives any chance they get. On last night's Rachel Maddow Show, the host used a long-known ersatz quote supposedly uttered by Rush Limbaugh to, well, y'know, get some cheap digs in: (BEGIN AUDIO CLIP) RUSH LIMBAUGH, CONSERVATIVE RADIO TALK SHOW HOST (discussing Newt Gingrich's views on Judge Sotomayor): I didn‘t know why he retracted it and I still don't. I'm not retracting it. Nobody's refuted it. She would bring a form of racism and bigotry...

I was always wondering how far Dictator Obama and Co. could push before his own people turned on him. MSNBC's host Rachel Maddow has done the right thing and put partisan politics aside by exposing the out of control Obama. To view the video....

Rachel Maddow celebrates another reversal of a Bush policy. Certainly Maddow, who runs no risk of becoming pregnant the "natural way" (that requires actual intercourse with a man, of which clearly Maddow knows nothing), lacks any qualifications to be discussing sex. She should take some advice from Bristol Palin who is strong enough and experienced enough to admit her mistake, yet mature enough to live with the consequences. Bristol, 18, was announced on Tuesday as teen ambassador for the Candie's Foundation, a sex awareness group, and the following day gave television interviews and spoke at a town hall meeting in...

WATCHING MSNBC IS TORTUREMay 6, 2009 The media wail about "torture," but are noticeably short on facts. Liberals try to disguise the utter wussification of our interrogation techniques by constantly prattling on about "the banality of evil." Um, no. In this case, it's actually the banality of the banal. Start with the fact that the average Gitmo detainee has gained 20 pounds in captivity. There's even a medical term for it now: "the Gitmo gut." Some prisoners have been heard whispering, "If you think Allah is great, you should try these dinner rolls." In terms of "torture," there was "the...

Rachael Maddow interviewing the NBC Science and Health "Expert" just said that thanks to cuts to funding of pandemic situations i.e. when the bird/avian flu was over and done...during the Bush administration...the U.S. is at a greater risk now of having the swine flu get out of control. What they failed to mention is Chuckie Schumer in NY is the one who pulled it out himself because he found it "too porky".

Apparently viewers are getting tired of the cutsey, smugness that is Rachel Maddow, and not just a few of them either. Ratings for the already low rated Rachel Maddow show on MSNBC have shown a steep decline recently, falling from a high of 1.9 million viewers to "slightly over 1.1 million." Naturally, MSNBC President Phil Grifin is putting on the brave face calling Maddow a "rock star" and that Maddow is a "great success." He told the L. A. Times, "We've never had success anywhere near that in our 12-year history at 9 p.m. right out of the gate."...

Wonder if Shuster and Olbermann have gotten the "teabagging" taste out of their mouths yet and had a chance to chew on this. The people who actually pay for this televised meltdown every day are not amused with the poop-throwing antics of Keithie, Chrissy and the gang. "The crowd was very upset with MSNBC because of its leftward tilt," one attendee said. "Some former employees said they were embarrassed by it." One specific complaint about MSNBC concerned Keith Olbermann's interview of actress Janeane Garofalo, who likened conservatives to racists and spoke of "the limbic brain inside a right-winger." "They were...
