Megyn Kelly Defends Maddow: ‘What’s the Harm’ in Her Moderating a Debate?

MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow co-moderated last night’s Democratic debate, and while she did receive praise for asking tough, substantive questions, she did receive criticism because of the very fact that she was an outspoken liberal commentator moderating a presidential debate.

Oh, and also the fact that she hugged both candidates.

On Fox News tonight, Megyn Kelly and Howard Kurtz had their doubts about Maddow’s claim she would do the same for Republicans, with Kurtz insisting “she should not have been on that stage.”

Kelly, however, pointed out that the RNC has pushed for conservative commentators to co-moderate their debates (i.e. Hugh Hewitt at the CNN GOP debates), and she made it clear Fox News rejected them outright.

However, Kelly went on to say, “I find myself in the unusual position of defending MSNBC.”

Because like you, the news will quickly focus on the personal nature of the moderator. I think that s an unwritten no no. The media is not representative of the population.

“They could just do what Mr. Maddow does, I mean Janet Reno—Janet Napolitano! I get them all confused,” said Jones, pounding the desk in pretend frustration. “Pat from Saturday Night Live? No, no…Ron Maddow?

“Nothing wrong with it, I mean, he’s a handsome guy.”

Jones then claimed that “I’m gonna be honest with everybody. I’m attracted to Mr. Maddow, and that really conflicts my, uh…I always thought of myself as a heterosexual, but…”

Jones also said he wondered “If Mr. Maddow is gonna join the Boy Scouts as a troop leader.”

This is the true face of Alex Jones: a defiant little brat.

The last time someone dared to stand up to him, Jones did nothing but challenge him to a fist fight in between making fun of his accent. Now after being stood up to again, the only way he knows how to respond is to call his critic ugly.

What a wonderful country!

Where else can a pretty high school girl grow up to be an ugly half-man?

THEN vs. NOW

THEN: Rachel Maddow - High School Yearbook Picture

It’s called sarcasm...... Have you ever heard of it?

Jones hates Mad Cow, and vice Versa.

Have had a hunch for quite awhile now that MK is using her air time to audition for a job with either CNN or MSNBC

Why not, I am sure no one in 1930's Germany had any issues with a 3rd Reich member being MC of a Bar Mitzvah either.

I hope that’s the only unusual position that you’re going to find yourself in.

Like the Republicans need more flaming liberal moderators, Megyn because the vast majority of “reporters” aren’t already in the tank for the Democrats.

Let the MSNBC dude moderate a Republican debate about the same time as the Dims let Rush, Hannity and Levin ask questions in a RAT debate.

Megyn Kelly is a liberal/democrat/marxist or whatever name these communist reporters call themselves. They (the media) are ALL communists hell bent on destroying America and freedom.

“MK continues to show just exactly what she is. A GOPe / DNC Uniparty tool.”

You give her far too much credit! She’s simply an unprincipled, money-grubbing TV whore.

Megan Kelley’s a dumbass. All she has to do is as why the DNC has not allowed FOX to moderate ANY debates

“Her new Lesbo-Greaser ‘do and look are terrible.”

LOL-—she must have a homosexual male hairdresser who likes the look of the boys.

You do know that “feminine” is only allowed for males and females have to look like dikes/jocks—for the children’s proper Marxist utopia where boys are girls and there is no such allowed words as mother and father, wife or husband.

Got to blur the lines for children....

Megan’s mouth was made for one thing and one thing only. And it ain’t talking.

Just saying.
