The segment started promising. MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow began her interview with Oregon Congressional candidate Art Robinson (R) by telling the audience she was “delighted” to have him on the show. But delighted was soon replaced by words such as “criminals,“ ”communists,“ and ”concerned.”
Maddow was trying to to accuse Robinson of receiving a de facto $150,000 campaign contribution because a third party group produced an independent ad apparently costing that much. The ad targeted Robinson’s challenger: 12-term Democrat Rep. Pete DeFazio.
I saw it! He was good, very good in fact. He was NOT going to allow her to twist and make up facts. My guess is she wishes he had not been on the show.
One thing I remember was that he called her maam throughout interview. He was respectful but stern.
Anyone want to count the untold millions the left gains from the constant republican bashing from the msm.
I like Art a lot—hope he wins big. He won the “debate” with the adolescent.
More “ambush journalism” from the left. Meanwhile, Barney Frank and obama are still scared to go on Sean Hannity’s show on FOX.
I find this candidate very civic minded and loved the smack down of Ms. Maddow regarding global warming; which he is right. He is also right naming Ms. Maddow’s program and she are a shill of distraction for the lefties.
It looks like there is a new generation of stand up politicians are coming to the fore. She seemed stunned. He simply called her on her biased agenda. Bravo to Mr Robinson.
What is the latest polling on this race?
I think "mister" or "sir" might have been more appropriate... MADdow looks like a dude...
Hey Rachel, didn’t you get the memo about the new tone for MSDNC reporting?
This dude isn’t that bright for the fact he even went onto her program. Did he really think he’d get a fair shake from this leftist hack?
Still don’t understand why any sane Republican would go on, or be interviewed by any of the lying freaks from any of the PMSDNC freak shows. He had to know that no matter how sweetltly she taljked to get him on her diseased chars show, that SickSow was going to try and savage him.
It always makes me doubt the i intelligence and/or sanity of anyone that goes onto that sick freak DNC propaganda smear channel.
Got to say that was my favorite part too.
I don’t like that Maddow fellar.
But what is the point to going on her show and defeating her as if the audience for that show can be reasoned with?
This is exactly the way candidates that decide to appear on MSNBC need to interact with every host on the wacked out channel that panders to a small audience that are largely TO THE LEFT OF FIDEL CASTRO!
Agreed. He’s needlessly snarky and pretentious.
Lesbo vs Libertarian Kook almost made Larry & Liza look “normal”.
Really liked him!!
Awesome, baby! Where do I send my money?!
