GOP Targets Rachel Maddow

[ProfessionalLeftist]

The National Republican Congressional Committee used its latest ad against President Obama to mock Rachel Maddow.

The ad challenges President Obama to move ahead with the controversial Keystone XL Pipeline project. It mocks Maddow's actual "Lean Forward" ad for MSNBC, where she stands in front of the Hoover Dam talking about the demand for infrastructure jobs. The NRCC's version is titled "Lean Backwards."

The ad features a Maddow lookalike in glasses, a gray hoodie and a brunette wig in front of the same backdrop. Ironically, it uses Maddow's argument for government-backed infrastructure projects to push for the pipeline. "We’ve got a project like this waiting for the President’s go ahead –- supported by Republicans and Democrats, labor unions. It’d provide energy security and up to 130,000 jobs," the lookalike says.

1. Once again the pukes charge unarmed into the battle of wits.

Rachel can more than stand up and speak for herself. I am sure she is bemused by such silliness.

Whatta bunch of maroons.

[yellowcanine]

3. Yep. Rachel will have a field day with this one.

Somebody miscalculated badly.

6. Oh yea.

Can't wait to see her response!

12. I'm looking forward to it. They never learn.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

2. I guess they only care about infrastructure jobs

that THEY support.

[WhoIsNumberNone]

7. They only care about infrastructure that benefits their big money buddies

9. And doesn't require too many employees.

4. She doesn't look anything LIKE Maddow. Fey actually LOOKED like Palin.

And just who the hell are they trying to impress? Republicans don't even watch Maddow - she's gay you know. God just doesn't approve of that. But he does like guns, Bud Lite and NASCAR.

5. Rachel should redo this GOP ad in the way SHE would have done it

and of course it would poke fun at the GOP obsession with her and with their Freudian slip "Lean Backwards". The 'R' in Republican stands for "Regressive"!!!!

[Lil Missy]

8. Rachel can handle them.

[WCGreen]

10. But that woman in the NGand Oil commercials say the tar sand thing would create

1,000,000 jobs...

Which paid spokesman should we believe...

[FarLeftFist]

11. We don't need to get involved with this one. We can sit back and watch Rachel dismantle the GOP

Like she always does. Their entire party couldn't out-debate Rachel if they even tried.

13. The jobs are short term and the public risks are long term.

Hey, private energy companies...you put up the bonds that will be required to deal with the environmental risks that pumping hot liquid sandpaper through thousands of miles of steel tubes will create. The government shouldn't be socializing the risks while the profits get privatized. There are better energy strategies that create long term employment with little/no environmental impact and reward the taxpayers and consumers of this country by reducing our dependence on foreign oil..

14. Now I am totally jealous of her.
