oh but but but Obama will fix all this ?
LOL he was one of the biggest cheerleaders for the take over bill. I mean bail out bill.

How is it that because of what this bubble head is spewing out makes me as an American clueless? There is a difference between cluelessness and just not giving a flying f*** Nothing that happens on Wall street Main street etc etc matters. Not to me, none of this crapola has altered my life, my views etc. Maybe u should get off the MSM and get a life.

Rachel Maddow is a cut above the MSM.

I don't think people will notice that their taxes have gone up.

She is a partisan C_NT.

Please notice how she conveniently forgets to announce that her darling Obama also voted publicly FOR THIS GARBAGE. She DID announce that McCain voted for it but like the simple C_NT she is she purposefully left out the tiny tidbit about Obama also voting for it. Talk about Spin!!!!!

[Starvid]

Wow.

The banks, credit card companies etc buy politicians and pass laws to reduce their own taxes.

Your political system is so seriously dysfunctional it's not even funny.

Maybe the time has come to ban corporate campaign contributions?

Was that sort of language about her really necessary Airline Pilot?

I usually enjoy your posts, but that was just extreme and....kind of pointless.

Kunstler wrote that the $700 billion bailout was an attempt to declare that the damages were confined to $700 billion. Additional money under the table would be a necessity if the damage was worse.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')he United States may be on course to lose its 'AAA' rating due to the large amount of debt it has accumulated, according to Martin Hennecke, senior manager of private clients at Tyche. "The U.S. might really have to look at a default on the bankruptcy reorganization of the present financial system" and the bankruptcy of the government is not out of the realm of possibility, Hennecke said.

The ascendency of the Democrats has been bringing out some particularly ugly sides of the right, as was seen in the hate language in many McCain rallies toward the end of the campaign.

I am disappointed to see such bigoted language seep into these forums. We get pretty rough aroung here, but using the c-word about a political commentator is pretty far out of line.

Disagree with her vehemently, but please keep your sexism to yourself, AP. It doesn't strengthen your points, it undermines them.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Eli', '

Rachel Maddow is an idiot. I've detested her insipid logic ever since she was on Air America several years ago. It has nothing to do with her politics, her logic is just retarded, same as Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilley.

[dohboi]

I don't get cable, so I haven't seem Madow much, but I still don't see what about her gets you folk's panties in such a knot.

You seem to be much more shocked at a partisan (and a woman) on the left making claims, wild or otherwise, than you are about partisans on the right.

I am suspicious that, like many on the right, people here are getting upset to hear anything diverging however slightly from there limited ideas of what is legitimate political discourse.

I very much doubt she is a radical leftist by any definition that would be recognized anywhere outside the US, where the center has been defined far to the right of where it is elsewhere.

But educate me--does she describe herself as a Communist or Anarchist? Does she call for the disolution of all corporations? Does she even call for an American Labor Party, to counter the two pro-business parties we now have.

Any of these positions may start to define her as radical left. Otherwise she's just some shade of centrist.

yeah I'm not going to say it's sad to see you talk like that AP. I'm just going to say you're a flat out idiot, because you are.

[AirlinePilot]

Oh come on, you can do better than that!

No. You're an idiot and proved it. That's enough as far as I'm concerned.
