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!!!!!

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?

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.

Well I am kind of interested into why he hates her so much, but he is right she is so far left it is not even funny.

And people on the left are being willfully ignorant of the fact that Obama voted for this mess and he should be coming out talking about this illegal Treasury move. But maybe he doesn't want to do that since he received twice as much money from Wall St. as even John McCain.

$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.


Marc Faber has also stated that the above is a possibility. He feels that the government will dump money into the financial black hole until it also "goes out of business".

There appears to be a possibility that every central government in the world will fall into this trap. If the Central Banks fail, most governments will soon follow. They sleep in the same bed.

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.

Probably the fact that she is so much the stereotypical lefty butch lesbian stereotype. It's kind of depressing to see people fall into predictable demographic baskets. Kind of like when Howard Stern interviews porn stars with "So, when was it that your father molested and/or abandoned you?"

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.

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.

BINGO! She is grandstanding and over the top. Its just crappy reporting and journalism. She intentionally stirs the pot just for a reaction. She is a dolt.

Its a free country. If She was a man I'd call her Dick, or possibly an A$$. No sexism here, just call'em like I see 'em.

but the US is run by a combination of the UK royal family and The Scicillian mafia. What did you expect?
The most amazing thing of all ever is that Americans think they are run by Americans!
The war of independance was a British ploy to allow Americans to think they were 'free' so that they'd behave in a way that the UK wanted.
I'm not proud of the fact that the country I reside in is the one really in charge of the USA and always has been.

Put that in your Zeitgeist cap and smoke it

I can do better than that, AP. Tell us, putting the partisan crap aside, was Rachel's report on Sec. 382 accurate or not?

Also, she did mention McCain's name. But she did not say that he voted for it. She said he "fake-suspended his campaign over it." Which he did indeed do.

Which confirms, as emailking said, that you are the idiot. At least in this case.
