Rachel Maddow just compared Trump Rallies to Wallace Rallies

[UglyGreed]

strange days indeed....

[haikugal]

1. Wallace rallies were scary fascist....so were his supporters and he had a lot of them.

Yeah, I can see that.

[UglyGreed]

3. I never saw the tapes

of Wallace's rallies before...........

[haikugal]

6. I got dragged to one in Jacksonville Florida...I'm telling you it was full on fascist. Scary people

I quit watching MSM a long time ago...

[UglyGreed]

9. Wow

you must have some stories. I keep the TV on in the back round to break up the silence since I spend a lot of time on my own.

[haikugal]

11. My stories can sound fabricated ... But they aren't

I use audio books and Internet radio for that. I got a little Bluetooth speaker, it's great.

15. If you're not old enough to remember

I bet I can tell you something surprising. Of course Wallace was a Dixie candidate, but his racist appeal travelled well. He won the Maryland and Michigan primaries, even though in both cases the polls showed him running a poor 3rd.
Same thing I think I am seeing about Trump. Most people won't admit they are supporting him, but then they get into the private voting booth and their worst instincts take over.

[UglyGreed]

18. I was two or three

years old at the time of the rally I saw on the show. Crazy absolutely crazy that he win those two primaries.

[SCantiGOP]

21. In Michigan it was apparently

in large part the support of union voters. He convinced a lot of white guys that the Dems were going to use affirmative action to displace them with black workers.

His refrain was "there ain't a dimes worth of difference in the two parties." So you might can call him the spiritual grandfather of the Tea Party.

2. Looks identical.

[UglyGreed]

7. Well the clip I saw of Wallace was

very very bad. I try not to watch Trump but Wallace for what I saw was much worse. Different times and maybe Trump is trying to go back in time one step at a time SMH!

4. nobody's watching anymore

A few worshippers is all. She lost cred so long ago.

I've tried to find recent ratings numbers for MSNBC but can't on the net. Anybody know where?

[UglyGreed]

5. I watch from time to time

but her election coverage IMO has been less than fair.

[SCantiGOP]

23. She just had a nice piece on Sanders

[Dem2]

8. Seemed appropriate

Trump's arrogance is the dangerous kind. He believes his crazy rhetoric with no doubts. Narcissistic nut case he is.

[UglyGreed]

10. I like documentaries

and I'm surprised I have not come across what Wallace was doing. I'm going to have to do some research.

[haikugal]

13. Here I just found this...I'll watch it later.

[UglyGreed]

19. Thank you I will

check it out

[snowy owl]

14. I understand disliking Trump but

to compare him to Wallace isn't accurate. That may feel good but it is bad journalism. I haven't seen much good reporting from maddow in a long time. She's really more of a paid advertisement for Clinton. Maybe I'm wrong . . . I do still check in with MSNBC but rarely stay. But when she comes on, I'm out in a flash. I'll go even further: since she teamed up with Bryan for the panel discussions which I used to like, I see them as rather clownish. His faux elitism and her second banana funny person. I guess I really don't like her, huh?

[haikugal]

17. It's a good comparison.

[nadinbrzezinski]

12. Appropriate

and no, I no longer watch MSNBC

That said, Rachel dear come here... the same goes for the rest of the networks. WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU GUYS GIVING TRUMP SO MUCH AIR TIME?

Do you realize this is why the Fairness Doctrine was passed... to prevent exactly what you guys are doing? I will, and historians will as well, blame YOU GUYS for this if Trump is elected POTUS. and I give him good odds.

[haikugal]

16. What you said...loudly!!

[UglyGreed]

20. It's Trump 24/7

money rules and it seems it is more important to get views than have some sort of journalistic morals. SMH!!!!!

24. Why on earth would

Bill Clinton encourage Trump to run??????

[sufrommich]

25. The Wallace rallies were the first sign that

republicans could siphon off a certain segment of the democratic party using racism. Wallace was a democrat,for those too young to know.
