Rachel Maddow - Page 13

The venom bubbling below the visible anger of MSNBC’s three nightly hosts — Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow — was unmistakable after President Obama’s speech, in which he praised former President Bush and the brave troops who gave

It seems to me that the truth ought to be a defense against any charge of racism or slander. You shouldn’t be able to generate outrage over the fact that person A calls person B a communist, for instance, if

Remember the day when “Nothing Happened?” to Ralph Melish back in 1973? [youtube hps0TsJvqEA&feature nolink] Oddly enough, 1973 was also the year that gave us Rachel Maddow, star of the ratings-challenged MSNBC. Perhaps as an infant, young Ms. Maddow heard

—— 10. No one will ever say that David Letterman is “too smart to believe what he believes.” 9. Whatever was left of Dave’s edgy sense of irony died while engaging in a serious discussion about the ethics of journalism

For everyone who read the above headline and said, “not bloody likely,” give yourself two points. The silence is frightening. Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy People Magazine’s latest piece on that rapidly dimming

The childish, feminized fantasy world in which the left dwells was never more in evidence than in this lunatic rant by MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, in which the Rhodes Scholar plays president for a few minutes and gives the speech she

Hey, remember when mockery and ridicule of Their One resulted in charges of racism from the Left? Well, finally, Obama’s stunning incompetence has accomplished what sea-rising speeches could not: brought us all together. Over the course of just a few

Two weeks ago Dr. Rand Paul, an ophthalmologist and the Republican U.S. Senate candidate from Kentucky, appeared on the Rachel Maddow show to clarify statements he had made, which seemed to suggest that he would have opposed the Civil Rights

Mark my words. Rand Paul is never, ever going to appear on the Rachel Maddow show again. The newly-minted Kentucky GOP senatorial candidate’s interview with Maddow, about the Civil Rights Act of 1964, got testy, as exchanges about race in

The Corner: Appearing on Laura Ingraham’s radio show this morning, Rand Paul said he regretted his Wednesday appearance with MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, in which Paul appeared to waver on whether he thought the government was right to force the desegregation

Okay, here’s my favorite headline of the day – no, make that year. Take a look-see, for yourself, see. Yes, the AP headline reads: “NY car bomb suspect cooperates, but motive mystery.” Yeah it’s only a mystery if you’re in

Did MSNBC’s prime time clean-up hitter go crazy in the locker room last week? That’s the story bouncing around the web and even the New York Times. Olbermann has denied derailing the Donny Deutsch train, but he admits doing nothing

Who exactly is Rachel Maddow anyway? How did she get a show on MSNBC? A quick glance at her bio shows, let’s see, no journalistic credentials whatsoever. This comes as no surprise. And yet, considering that she has a Stanford

Should reporters who believe that most of America is stupid and insane be in the journalism business? Let’s consider the question. Take left-wing journalist Marc Ambinder of the Atlantic. He’s not bad at his job. His insights are often worthwhile

Last week a rather odd story broke on Big Government and Big Hollywood. The voice-over guy for Geico, D.C. Douglas, was fired after he left a voicemail with Freedomworks. On the voicemail he called Tea Partiers homicidal retards. My first

In a new article, Marc Ambinder, politics editor of The Atlantic, asks: Have Conservatives Gone Mad? He says yes. Serious thinkers on the right have finally gotten around to a full and open debate on the epistemic closure problem that’s

It’s a good thing we have Rachel Maddow to help us understand the “way more interesting” things that are going on “underneath the surface.” And by “interesting,” Maddow means “gross.” Nevertheless, we’re lucky to have Ms. Maddow to disambiguate such

Sitting through a Rachel Maddow commentary is difficult enough in the best of circumstances. Listening to her tortured logic (employing the word loosely) as she tried to expose the “perfidy” of lobbyist Rick Berman and Big Government editor-in-chief Michael Flynn

KATIE COURIC: Is it even possible to report the “South Park” incident without offending Muslims? BRIAN WILLIAMS: Sure. Just remain neutral. Say, “In other news, Comedy Central censored this week’s “South Park” episode to avoid offending Muslims. Next on our

On Monday, the 15-year anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing, Rachel Maddow ran a two hour “exclusive” detailing the actions of Timothy McVeigh on MSNBC. Using 45 hours of audio of McVeigh describing in his own voice his actions to

Rachel Maddow, whose special on Timothy McVeigh airs on MSNBC tonight, is quite the investigative reporter. Not long ago, she obtained explosive evidence of James O’Keefe’s wardrobe fraud, and she has unleashed it on both of her viewers. Thanks to

I am really sorry that Rachel Maddow’s ratings have tanked and that Fox News is practically on the verge of owning MSNBC. There is a problem here, and I think I can help. Apparently, Maddow and her copycats at the

Are you a progressive network or newspaper that has sought to portray the Tea Party Movement as racist with selective video editing, and now you have those same Tea Party Members pointing out the lack of diversity at your network

The ACORN story is not difficult to understand. It is about a simple sting operation designed to reveal that a prominent organization routinely aids illegal activity. When James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles walked into ACORN offices posing as a pimp

Rachel Maddow had a story to tell. The story was that Hannah Giles and James O’Keefe’s ACORN videos were “severely edited” to make an innocent man who did the right thing look as though he was doing something nefarious, immoral

It seems the lovely and talented Rachel Maddow – whose chief claim to fame, besides her sneer, is …what, exactly? – has got her Rhodes Scholar knickers in a twist over the famous O’Keefe/Giles ACORN tapes. She’s seized upon a

Apparently Rachel Maddow has jumped on the pimp hoax bandwagon. Here is the beginning of Raw Story’s wildly misleading summary of Maddow’s wildly pointless diatribe: When conservative activists James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles released tapes last fall purporting to show

I wonder if MSNBC can get its money back on that special “Watergate Jr.” graphic and the ominous theme music they used when throwing their resources (and reputations) at James O’Keefe? The charges against O’Keefe and three other men have

When President Obama hit the campaign trail in an attempt to sway Dennis Kucinich (yes, he’s reaching so low in the barrel, he’s trying to convince Dennis Kucinich), the administration began its full-court press on its allies. As has been

Now, there’s always a scene in zombie movies, when one non-zombie character will turn to another, and say, “If I ever turn into that, I want you to kill me.” Then they make love, and reload. Well, I want you,

Tom Tancredo’s muy caliente remarks at the recent National Tea Party Convention, in Nashville, outed MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow as a race-baiting demagogue. Here’s what the former Colorado congressman said: “Mostly because, I think, that we do not have a civics

No recent Supreme Court ruling have evoked more liberal fury than Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, a campaign-finance case involving government censorship of a political documentary called Hillary: The Movie. The Federal Election Commission prevented the anti-Hillary Clinton film

Rachel Maddow had a real zinger on Thursday night when she slammed the GOP for having newly elected Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell give the Republican response to the State of the Union. How ridiculous! He’s been in office just eleven

When a story ends the way the MSM doesn’t want to end, it has a simple solution. It largely ignores it. Recently, Big Journalism‘s Mark Klugmann illustrated how the MSM shaped the story concerning the ouster of Honduran President Manuel

This past week marked one of the strangest periods of my life. And yes, the arrest of my friend and colleague James O’Keefe had a lot to do with it. James found himself, once again, in the middle of a
