Here is unbelievable video tonight of MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell giving the most despicable display of rudeness to a guest I think I have ever seen. He had GOP Rep. John Culberson on and rudely badgered him again and again because he would not answer the way O'Donnell wanted him to answer.
He was badgering him over Social Security and Medicare's origins, which is not what is being decided today. Culberson nailed him eventually by saying, "Do you wonder why nobody watches MSNBC?"
O'Donnell flat out called Culberson a liar. He was totally unhinged. Culberson responded:
"You call me a liar on national television? It's objectionable. It's offensive."
I've never seen an interviewer on a network or cable news network behave this badly. O'Donnell is unhinged because he knows Obama is losing the battle on Health Care. Expect more of this behavior as the moment of decision on ObamaCare draws near. . . .(Watch Video)

Fiberaal Neighborhood Hoes!
I agree, they do need to answer this kind of question.
How about, We can’t stop these programs because the government has robbed them blind with taxes their whole life to pay into these programs.
If they got to keep their own money, they would have enough to pay for private insurance today.
Culberson had more patience than I would have.
"YES, it's socialism, I'm glad you've finally admitted it, brainiac. But since Americans have been forced to contribute to it by having the money stolen from their weekly paychecks by the government all of their working lives, NO I don't want to end Medicare now. I'd like to privatize it or phase it out fairly. Medicaid, on the other hand, can be ended immediately".
If _I_ were in charge of the budget, medicare, medicaid, and social security, their offices and employees would be slated exactly $0.00
The government has shown us, time and again that they cannot ‘balance the budget,’ they cannot act responsibly regarding the “full faith and credit” of America, and that they are unwilling to make what cuts are indeed necessary.
They never made money from MSNBC so they just need to suck it up for awhile longer for the payoff.
Who you talking about, Maddow?
And it is going bankrupt. Just as is Social Security.
I need to get out my copy of “Liberty and Tyranny” and write that quote in the front.
O’Donnell is being clever. He knows that the terminally rotten socialistic social security and medicare programs are popular with the larcenous memebrs of this society. By pointing to an obvious inconsistency in Culbertson’s position he is trying to peel off the looters’ vote and get them behind Obamacare.
Culberson was in an awkward position....a Jeffersonian who can’t tell the truth about SS and medicare.
You don’t think he seems a little juiced up during these on-air spaz attacks?
He is a loser and knows it. We are coming on to take him and his ilk down. They are having fear and panic attacks. We need to roll em up in the tradition of General Patton.
But I thought everyone who is on Medicare loves it? AT least that’s what the media constantly repeats.
I do know that it is difficult to get in to see many doctors who no longer accept new Medicare patients because it reimburses so poorly....and there are even fewer who take Medicaid - same reason plus all the paperwork and bureaucratic nightmares.
By the time I retire and have no choice but to go on Medicare, I know it will likely not even be there.....so much for all the $$ taken out of my paychecks through the years....same for Social Security. Will I be able to sue the government for fraud?
I remember that. He kept calling the other person “creepy liar! creepy liar!”
it was very bizarre. He would keep saying it loudly over and over, to drown out the other guest.
I think it was during the John Kerry Swiftboat episode.

Yeh, he would draw it out...
“creeeeeeepy liarrrrrrrr” over and over, like he thought he could hypnotize his audience.
