MSNBC Anchor to Congresswoman: When did You Stop Loving America?

Apparently the qualifications for becoming an MSNBC anchor consist primarily of being able to ask Republicans the intellectual equivalent of “when did you stop beating your wife?” Which explains how Thomas Roberts got the gig.

While interviewing Representative Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) Roberts posed the following question:

MSNBC Anchor To GOP Congresswomen: Do You Hate Obamacare More Than You Love Your Country? Understandably Blackburn seemed at an initial loss with her answer to the audacious and ideological insult, which Roberts had so cleverly disguised as an inappropriate question. Then again, he does work for MSNBC. He may seriously believe that those are the only two honest options: Love America, or Hate Obamacare. C’mon, Tom: Why can’t it be both?

Maybe the Congresswoman should have responded with a loaded question of her own: “Do you love Obamacare more than you love America?” After all, the Democrat’s failure to negotiate with the GOP over a simple one year delay in the individual mandate (which mirrors the White House’s extrajudicial delay for big businesses) bears equal responsibility in bringing the nation to the cusp of the debt ceiling.

Maybe that’s it. Maybe Harry Reid, Barack Obama, and MSNBC love Obamacare soooooo much, they are willing to “risk default” in an effort to keep from having it altered in any minor way. Of course, that’s a hard argument to sell, given that the President has found it necessary to grant over 20 partial delays and exemptions for various aspects of the law to numerous special interest (read: “liberal”) groups. When the Executive branch declares it is going to use executive privilege to delay, strike, or exclude portions of the law, it seems like “love” for the law might be lacking. . . Even among its supporters.

Even Ezra Klein expressed some reservations about the law thus far. And, let’s not forget, the regulations for the law haven’t even been finalized. While they have over 11 million words jotted down in regulations (roughly 30 times larger than the law itself), they still have far more to go before “we the people” discover the enormity of Obamacare’s reach.

Thomas Roberts of PMSNBC is a apparently a chronic wanker whose self-abuse has infected his brain. Unfortunately, this nation is bogged down with chronic misfits like this clown!

Who in the hell watches PMSNBC excepting those ill-prepared voters who climb into the Democrat trucks that haul them to the polls like the farmer transports his hogs to the slaughterhouse.

You’re fortunate to have her. When I’ve seen her, she’s been articulate, composed and a conservative. I like her a lot!!

Question #6: Do you parents know you’re queer?

Or, "Why did your parents name their baby daughter 'Robert'?"

This is the same kind of bs you get from leftists all the time but let anyone dare question their patriotism when they degrade soldiers or create narratives that cast the military as just a bunch of thugs then they go screaming like stuck pigs about how unfair it is. I’m to the point that my response to this kind of assertion would be to kick the SOBs ass and with every kick and punch tell them “THIS IS HOW MUCH I LOVE AMERICA YOU SNIDE POS”.

Sorry but I am more than a little angry. I’m sick of the passive aggressive bs and double standards and tired of playing games where the game is rigged. There is a point at where you kick the cheating rigging bastards asses physically and make sure they NEVER try to rig the game again.

Amen - totally agree - if the Repubs think that they might convert and/or inform someone who actually watches MSNBC, they are delusional and/or foolish.

No it means they are not afraid to. She just got caught by surprise. It happens. Don’t tell me it never happened to you. If it hasn’t I guarantee you it will one of those days

I was watching this series of Showtime called “Homeland” when whose image should appear on my tv screen? None other than that horrible MSLSD jerk Lawrence O’Donnell. He was interviewing a returning Marine captured by Al Qaeda. I knew right there that this series was tainted by liberals.

MSNBC Anchor to Congresswoman: When did You Stop Loving America?

Wow did she ever miss a chance.
The only answer to this question is..
I never stopped loving America. I am just sad that it has been taken away from us by President Obama. I don’t even know what it is we have now, but surely you realize it is no longer the America our Constitution described or what our grandfathers fought and died to protect

My granddaughter interned for Marsha while in college. She actually prefers to be addressed as Congress-MAN Blackburn.
