Maddow Invents New Terms to Degrade Conservatives: GOP-Baggers, Tea-Publicans
Newsbusters ^ | December 23, 2009 | Jeff Poor

On Dec. 22, when Rep. Parker Griffith of Alabama announced he would be switching from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party, it was to be expected MSNBC, the so-called "Place for Politics" would spin it in anyway imaginable. But Rachel Maddow decided to use the left's favorite boogeyman, the tea party movement, to denigrate conservatives and distract from what could be real problems for House Democrats.

During the Dec. 22 broadcast of "The Rachel Maddow Show," Maddow interpreted a joint conference call with Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele and FreedomWorks chairman Dick Armey to mean that the grassroots activism known as the tea party movement and the Republican Party had made peace. So, in the spirit of name-calling and low-brow humor, which the Maddow program has shown is one of its assets, Maddow contrived new titles for this movement (emphasis added).

I predict this sneering, snide wannabe “journalist” won’t last past 2010 either.

Why are you watching her? You’re doubling her ratings.

I don’t think it’s that. The libs have the upper hand, and feel free to do as they please. The rage is still part of the Bush hatred. Libs, being ruled by emotion, hold onto things like a woman who has been in an argument with her husband. Although, I don’t classify Maddow as a woman, she’s more the manly type. And not exactly creative, just full of venom.

I really don’t assign any value to what an angry bull dyke lesbian says.

I can think of a few degrading terms for that she-male but my post would get pulled.

Now that we know the latest position of angry bitter alternate-lifestyle women who dress like Bruce Springsteen, that’s one more reason to not watch MSNBC. Thankfully there others who watch and report, so we may rest easy this holiday season.

After reviewing Griffins record he's a good addition to the Conservative movement. I hope more with his credentials make the same decision.
Now if someone like Steve Drehaus in Cincinnati were to do the same he should rejected out of hand.

I hope that they haven't made peace. Making peace with the GOP is one step away from supporting people like Crist in Florida because the Beltway Bums support him. I want the Republican Party scared and more than a little jumpy about what the Tea Partiers will do to them.

Radical leftists are seething with anger and loathing. For themselves. If they were happy with themselves, they wouldn’t be lashing out at normal people. They would just live their lives with joy and happiness, not caring what other people think.
They are fundamentally unhappy and obsessed with their inability to belong to the family of human beings. They are nothing. They have nothing. They believe in nothing. Their lives are filled with nothingness and despair.

Other than that, they are really nice people.

....."The abusive ad hominem is not just a case of directing abusive language toward another person. . . . The fallacy is committed when one engages in a personal attack as a means of ignoring, discrediting, or blunting the force of another's argument....."

They are losing. They cannot debate on the merits. They see it coming, too. A head on train wreck is about to occur for the Democrats and American liberaldom in general.

Consider the source: MSNBC.

Why do you care what they think?

Seriously. They denigrate everything. Almost none of it sticks and that which does is inconsequential.

Ignore hyper-partisan ridicule. It is meaningless.

Fight with the truest words you can muster and blast away!

MSNBC has so few viewers it’s hard to see how it matters what is said there.
