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.
At least Joseph McCarthy actually was looking after US interests.
Its hilarious how the left has adapted all of the characteristics they used to curse 50 years ago, when they were on the outside looking in.
Asked the wife to cancel it. Can’t...it’s part of a two-year contract bundle that saves us money. We liked “Ray Donovan” which was probably the first Showtime series we actually liked. They also put on Penn and Teller’s “Bull...” which debunks a lot of liberal myths. But we rarely watch any of their movies...most modern movies are liberal, p.c. trash anyway.
Can you imagine the gloat factor tonight on the Factor, Greta, Megan and Hannity?
Instead, I'm going to watch true crime tales on the ID network..although it'll be hard to tell the true crimes from the political crimes of the lefties who'll be smug and ecstatic tonight over their perceived "win".

When anyone does that to me I simply ask them a question. What made you such a coward that you refused to serve in the military? You will see them sucking air and looking for an answer right before your eyes.
You are correct. Wikipidia lists his alleged husband (I never heard of this twerp until today) Is this guy the male Rachel Maddow?
No, that’s Chris Hayes.
