Here is video of MSNBC's snarky Rachel Maddow debating with Americans for Prosperity's Tim Phillips over health care and the Town Hall Meetings being held around the country.

Maddow did everything she could to present Americans for Prosperity as some kind of big company group that is "busing in" their people to take over these meetings.

Phillips got in a good line when he said, "I am a community organizer - I'm qualified to be President."

He also slapped Maddow down by reminding her that many Left organizations are funded by George Soros, far more so than anything they are doing.

Throughout the video, Maddow plays "gotcha" with Phillips, trying to bring up everything possible to cast him or Americans for Prosperity in a bad light. At every turn, Phillips more than weathered the challenge, deflating Maddow especially when he bluntly said Americans for Prosperity would be "happy to take corporate money" if a corporation would like to sponsor them. Maddow talked as if taking money from a corporation was a mortal sin.

This interview reveals the mindset of the Left and how they approach conservatives. Phillips did a great job, remaining calm and focused tRachel Maddow, Tim Phillips, Americans for Prosperity, throughout. . . . . (Watch Video)

Wouldn't it be lovely to see a journalist play "gotcha" with Obama? Never has happened.

Hey Madhatter, never bring a Bow and Arrow to a Tank Battle. What a cheap partisan hack. No wonder nobody watches MSDNC.

Pray for America and Our Troops
