The current media fact free circus over President Obama's prayer breakfast speech was a big topic on The Last Word. Most of the talking heads were making ridiculous claims about what Obama said in the speech, proving none of them had actually listened or read the speech. Joy Reid's statement was brilliant and to the point. She is the smartest person I have heard talk about the prayer breakfast speech.

Lawrence O'Donnell has completely humiliated himself on this subject. He reacted to a short sound bit without reading and comprehending the actual speech. He needs to stop imitating Faux News to justify his personal ignorance and religious bigotry. He failed to read the actual speech before opening his big mouth and proving his ignorance on this subject.

Way to go Joy Reid! She was absolutely brilliant and did an amazing job of exposing the incredible hypocrisy of the American media pundit class.

1. I love Joy Reid. She's fearless and incredibly knowledgable. That's not to say she's never wrong,

but she's got great insights in topics that most people gloss over.

LOVE HER.

2. Great points. She is the best they have on MSNBC right now.

I like Rachel and Chris Hayes, but Joy Reid is on the top of her game right now. O'Donnell was really peeved at her insightful commentary. He realized he had made of fool of himself, but was not smart enough to just agree with her.

3. Joy Gets IT! What did she say, laurel?

5. I forgot to post the link to the video. Joy was the one of the last of the panelists to speak.

Joy stated that President Obama was simply saying that ISIS does not represent Islam and is twisting the Koran for its own evil purposes just like the KKK and anti abortionists use Christianity to justify murdering black people, bombing clinics and shooting doctors. She thought that the speech was good and to the point and can not understand people's criticism of Obama.

I am not doing her justice. It was great. Here is the link, it is the "Worst Speech of Obama's Presidency? video segment I hope it is on there I have not checked to make sure they left her comments on there!:

Joy Reid is just outstanding. I hope people start to follow her more. I dvr her show and play it in place of Chris Matthews.

7. Thank you, laurel.. I shall watch it!

No, LO'D.. There are no "worst" speeches of President Obama's.. Jeeze!

8. P.S. Joy is right on with what Obama was saying.. what is soooo puzzling is why so many

didn't get it? Oh, we know rw wouldn't get anything on purpose but LO'D? Really? smh

4. Many of Lawrence's reports are right on the mark....

he really did blow it tonight and could not cover his ass fast enough....

God for Joy.....she is one great commentator...and when she is wrong, like Rachel does, she admit it...Joy was on top of her game tonight...I have to make sure I watch her show tomorrow......should be interesting...bet Lawrence when home with his tail between his legs tonight!

6. Joy needs a better time slot

She's so smart.

9. Watching less and less

of MSNBC as of late and things like this are the reason why. On this one Joy was right on point. And it appears I'm not the only one turning off the network....
