I’d like to rip his smug face off.

Sorry for the outburst

[socialismislost]

I saw that video earlier. She should not have gone on there. He made her out to be a fool.

[beaversmom]

The smug look on O'Donnell's face makes me want to smack him--as if he caught her in something. If only they would question Obama this hard (pipe dream).

Katy Abram is obviously what she says she is--a concerned stay at home mom. If I had been her friend, I would have advised her not to go on the Obama supporting MSNBC in the first place. She obviously has better things to do and doesn't know what jerks they are to people like her.

Sitting from the comfort of my computer admittedly, when he smuggly asks her about getting rid of SS and Medicare, she could have said to the affect that those two socialist programs are failed--they will run of money soon, but it's hard to put the genie back in the bottle as O'Donnell well knows. That's why this boondoggle called Obamacare must be stopped now. Also, when he asked if her parents will utilize Medicare, if I had been in her shoes, I hope I would have said--my parents are adults. I don't advise them on how they should run their lives.

Of course in reality, I wouldn't have done nearly as well as she did--I would have probably sounded more like Ralph Cramden trying to apologize to Alice, but that's what I would have hoped I would have said.

He'll never live this one down. Never.

Lawrence O'Donnell's Unforgettable "Creepy Liar" Meltdown on MSDNC

[kcvl]

You aren’t the only one!

He lied to her. What’s new? It is MSNBC where they ambush people daily who don’t agree with them.

Medicare is not a ‘single payer system’ either. You do have choices! You can also buy additional coverage from outside of Medicare. So much for the truth!

[beaversmom]

That’s perfectly fine just Kate—I had the same opinion (see below). Very infuriating.

[beaversmom]

oops, that should be see above for my post :)

[kcvl]

I certainly wouldn’t have done as well as Katy did. First of all I wouldn’t have gone on there, period. But, if in my nightmare I did go on there I would have told him to SHOVE IT UP HIS SMUG ASS on national television. Then my family would have washed my mouth out with soap and disowned me! roflol!

[beaversmom]

Thanks for the reminder. I remember that one. Perfect example of a useful idiot.

Liberal elitists are all scum

[freespirited]

I just watched the video. I thought she did fine.

Medicare is also not a very good system. I know because my mom is on medicare and it’s impossible for her to get the level of care she needs. Also, medicare is either nearly broke or is broke - it’s hard to say because the Gov won’t tell the people the truth. L.O. is a lying piece of garbage.

“...when he smuggly asks her about getting rid of SS and Medicare...”

That idiot (O’Donnell, that is) probably doesn’t even know that the unfunded liabilities for those programs are over 100 trillion dollars - and those are government numbers.

So here’s a clue, O’Donnell - when we’ve got a government that’s already committed to spending $100 trillion+ that we don’t have (and aren’t going to get), let’s add another inane entitlement that encompasses one-seventh of the economy - and then let’s put the jerkwads who run the postal service in charge to really add to the fun.

[socialismislost]

Although she made good points, he very subtly picked her apart and mocked her. Sometimes walking into a den of wolves is not always a good idea.

[beaversmom]

Over 100 trillion? One trillion is an impossible number to get my brain around. We are all just playing with monopoly money. What’s the point of trying to save and get ahead? My family’s little bit of savings isn’t worth pocket change.

Everyone I've ever known on Medicare had/has to have a supplemental (private) policy for their "basic" health care needs.

WTF do they think AARP is for, discounts at Denny's?

[DryFly]

Having just watched it myself, I think he did a fair job of it. It is after all a legitimate question to ask, and it’s too bad she didn’t feel confident enough to say Hell Yeah we should dismantle the entire War on Poverty and the New Deal. At least he had the integrity to admit that Soc Sec and Medicare are examples of socialism.

This is reminiscent of the Charles Gibson interview of Sarah Palin in which Gibson misquoted, indeed distorted, remarks made by Palin while praying in church to the effect that he made Palin appear to be asserting that God was on our side in war when she was in fact praying for wisdom to be on God's side. This is precisely the position of Abraham Lincoln when he was asked if he thought God was on the union side in the Civil War and he replied to the effect, "the question is are we on God's side." Gibson's intent was obviously to make Palin appear a religious fanatic who would distort policy out of her fanaticism if she were elected vice president.

Sarah Palin said she thought that her prayer was in line with Lincoln's reasoning and Gibson flatly contradicted her stating that his version were the "exact words." Either Gibson was lying or was grossly misinformed. In any event, he was grossly unprofessional.

In this videotape we see Lawrence O'Donnell playing the same game with another woman. He did this only after disarming her by telling her to relax and not be nervous because there was nothing threatening happening. Anyone who is aware of Mr O'Donnell's extremist leftist biography knows that he fully intended to destroy this woman and consciously set out to do so. The whole interview was an ambush.

Interestingly, when she persisted,like Palin, repeating that she she heard the president say he was in favor of single-payer system, O'Donnell,like Charlie Gibson, misstated the facts and insisted, falsely, that the contrary was the case.

At least with the Internet this kind of sleaze can be instantly exposed so, as Mark Twain said, "a lie is halfway around the world before the truth can get its boots on", is perhaps not so true anymore.

Larry O'Donnell did not destroy this good and honest woman he only exposed himself for a liar and the bully.
