Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsRachel Maddow is wearing Romney out,
the basic gist being he's a lying sack of shit, I couldn't agree more.
I believe he would lie even if the truth served him better.
I also believe he's a sociopath.

(6,996 posts)This constant lying is getting to be very disturbing. Rachel just mentioned some of the more egregious examples.

(6,996 posts)Of course he seldom does "mainstream" interviews or shows. FauxNews and other soft-ball venues won't touch it.

(22,143 posts)They see her as we see Limbaugh and Hannity. They won't watch the video, just make disparaging remarks.
Uncle Joe
(58,355 posts)our consistency must outweigh their obstinance, unlike Limbaugh and Hannity, Maddow has integrity and backs her assertions up with fact.
Furthermore if Maddow makes a mistake, she admits it.
MrSlayer
(22,143 posts)They don't. They don't want to know. I throw it out there anyway hoping to grab some middle of the road or non political people.
malaise
(268,966 posts)How does anyone compare her with those hacks
MrSlayer
(22,143 posts)They think Hannity and Limbaugh do what Maddow and Olbermann do and vice versa, regardless of facts. They aren't real big on facts.

(2,760 posts)The only hope is to rephrase it in your own words and just try to get a little of it to stick somehow. I have a RW BIL Faux Newsbot who lives in tinfoil hatland that I have to deal with that way. It's a losing battle for sure, but one we can't give up on. I might be tempted to cut my loses if he would quit sending me odious viral teabag stuff, but some things are so vile I just can't let it go unanswered.
Edit to add a missing word.

(2,307 posts)The problem is he has lied so much he no longer knows what the truth is, so he just lies more.

Dokkie
(1,688 posts)is to defeat Obama no matter what and if that takes a lying, 2 faced, flip flopping, war dodger, war hawk, chicken hawk, corporatist hack? then so be it.
He gives them the best chance of defeating Obama and that is all that matters. I was listening to some RW radio station last night and the host was ranting about how deficient Romney was and how he is not the ideal "conservative" candidate but then ended the rant by saying how the listeners should ignore it all and still go ahead and vote for Romney because of the Supreme court seats about to open up. Ironically, that is some of the arguments used by some liberals to promote Obama here on DU.
Sad isn't it?

(2,307 posts)Both the RW windbag you heard and the Dems on DU are right. The winner in November will most likely be choosing one or more justices over the next 4 years. Although, there are many other issues this is the elephant in the room.
Abortion, healthcare, election finance, gay rights, women's rights, are just a few of the issues which most likely will be coming before the court.

(42,290 posts)Not only lying about big important stuff, but little lies. Lies that nobody would think twice about.
Like the one about "Only Americans place their hands over their hearts during the national anthem"
I mean, why lie about that? What purpose does it serve?

(10,893 posts)I don't get why it took him so long to spark up enthusiasm of Republican voters towards him this election season. He and the GOP just seemed like a natural fit for each other IMO.
