This is Getting Good. LOL

1. K&HighlyR

Not too tough to get under BillO's skin, though.

[tabatha]

2. And she did. It reached the ceiling.

Bravo, Rachel, for cutting through the crap with style, and some Latin phrases.

[Ricochet21]

33. I agree

I agree

[BobTheSubgenius]

3. RM is SOOOOO fantastic.

I hope she never goes away, and I cannot see me ever not K&R'ing a post by or about her. Thanks for this.

[DFW]

4. Rachel Maddow is bar none THE most agile, witty commentator in the land

No one can touch her, period.

[Lifelong Protester]

5. Such a smart person! I am grateful for all of you that post here

with clips~we don't get MSNBC. Bummer!!!!!!!

[DeSwiss]

6. K&R

You go Rachel!!! I sorry though, I can't watch the whole video because I can't stand the sound if Pinhead O'Lielly's voice. It makes me nauseous.

:applause:

[savalez]

25. Me too!

[Merlot]

36. I hit the mute button when he talks.

Just looking at his bobbing head is enough

[Grassy Knoll]

7. Fox News ratings are from Basic cable.......

Combined with the higher priced extended cable, you can't get MSNBC on basic cable
or CNN for that mater,This is how they fudge the numbers, if fox news was just on
extended basic cable, they would have a fight on their hands, but they cheat, that's what fox does.

[caveat_imperator]

8. How much of those rating are from places where you can't change the channel?

Like bars, airports, restaurants, etc...
And I'm sure if customers were given the choice to choose which channels they'd want or not in their home faux news' ratings would take a big hit there as well.

[AlbertCat]

23. How much of those ratings....

.... are DWARFED (as Rachel points out) by Shark Week, and "Deadliest Catch" and "Spongebob Squarepants"?


Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?

More popular than Bill O'Reilly is he!

[lib_wit_it]

19. And it all comes back again to money=power. If we could afford to pay for Rachel and Keith and a

a few more like them, the RW wouldn't have a chance.

Thanks for that info, btw. It makes me feel slightly less disgusted with my fellow Americans.

[bjobotts]

9. Conservative republicans are the new American Taliban party with Christian Sharia law.

ACORN was one of the best organizations to have existed in America, fighting poverty and registering voters to get them engaged in government. Republicans fear an educated middle class and registered poor people.

The republican Taliban is disaster for our democracy having already nearly destroyed our nation and wanting a repeat performance as they have not changed any of their disastrous policies. They must be stopped at all levels if we are to survive as a nation.

[90-percent]

13. ACORN

That this organization was destroyed by bullshit and false propaganda is a major injustice in our time. Most American's to this day think they were crooked and deserved to be stripped of government funding.

I have even heard Fox commentators continue to vilify them like they committed some crimes.

Alas, they didn't get their deal turned around the way Shirley Sherrod did. At Fox, the ends justify the means and they did destroy ACORN by effective use of bullshit propaganda.

Where are the politicians standing for ACORN to right this injustice?

-90% Jimmy

[activa8tr]

42. I have to agree.... and Rachel is the best, she so ROCKS!

The destruction of America will be because of this news network, Fox, screwing with the minds of so many Americans.

[Grassy Knoll]

47. But because of the great internets.......

Fox news is too exposed for their bullshit ,it becomes a 50/50 fight, same as it ever was.
Why are so many afraid of the big bad fox ?
It's all in the mind, and that's where they are counting on, think of them as the freak show that they are
and they lose all credibility, democrats think for themselves, repubs look to fox noise for answers.

[onestepforward]

10. Bravo Rachel! K&R

[JDPriestly]

11. Comparing Fox's ratings to those of other channels/cable stations

doesn't seem fair to me. If you get the cheapest cable package, you don't receive all the channels. I'm not sure that you receive MSNBC in all markets.

[The Wizard]

12. Fox has a niche audience

of really stupid bigoted fearful jerk offs. They get that entire audience. The normal segment of the population is split up among the other channels. Thus the skewed numbers for Propaganda Central.
Limbaugh has so many outlets because his show is essentially given away for free.
Me thinks the Republican Party and its wealthy contributors are making payments to Swiss or Cayman bank accounts to keep the propaganda catapult in operation.
Bill O'Reilly can go eat shit and bark at the Moon.
With the Citizens United Decision things will only get worse. We are well along the path to corporate feudalism where the working class will be willing to work for crumbs from the lords' tables.
We will be serfs if we allow the aristocracy to demand we eat cake.
Guillotines and head baskets are things of the past. Let's hope it never reaches that point again.

[drm604]

14. Rachel Maddow continues to amaze me.

Possibly the most brilliant and well spoken - and entertaining! - commentator on TV today.

She knows how to effectively knock down people like Billo without seeming the least bit petty, vindictive, or mean-spirited. That's a rare talent, and much more devastating than any angry rant.

I regularly want to cheer when I watch her.

[spicegal]

15. Thanks again Rachel. Keep up the great work.

It's about time someone had cajones to push back on Faux News. The right wingers are threatened by RM. She's not only intelligent, but she's RIGHT. They can't argue with facts and logic. O'Reilly is a bully, always has been. He got his start in tabloid TV and has no respect for journalistic integrity.

[Ricochet21]

34. I agree

I agree

[ejpoeta]

16. i actually like the way in which she responds to these attacks.

she totally deflated the whole loon thing by showing a loon and acting excited to be called one. then she went on to explain that the type of attacks being thrown her way are so because they are deflecting the real argument. i wish i could be more cool and calm when arguing something. and she doesn't even argue. i love it. no matter what you call me or how many more viewers you have my argument is still true. lol.

[Ichingcarpenter]

17. That's the most Billo I've seen in ages.... He looks ill

And I haven't really seen him long enough in any piece to make that call.
His cheeks are shallow, his color is wrong and he's losing hair....
I mean I really, really don't watch watch him in years so this was a shock to see
him in so many clips.

I know his rants have always been sick but this was a shocker.
Anyone know anything?


Anyway

Rachel Rocks we are blessed to have her on our side.
What intellect, beauty and wit.

[activa8tr]

18. Billo..Billo Billo the more he keeps talking, the more a fool of himself

Rachel keeps getting the best of him.

[felix_numinous]

20. As a child I actually thought someday these old farts would die off someday

-and humankind would leap into a wonderful future!!! What a great fantasy that was.

[The Wielding Truth]

30. I thought everyone would get sick of their lies and the would be laughed off the air.

[LaStrega]

21. Could I adore her more? Doubtful. Enthusiastic k/r n/t

[ProgressOnTheMove]

22. Let's get this out on all the largest facebook groups we can think of.

[ljm2002]

24. Bravo, Rachel!

It does appear to have struck a nerve.

[AlbertCat]

26. Logical Fallacies

I took a Logic class in high school....a math course. It was all that P implies Q stuff. But of course we went over logical fallacies and had to learn to identify them (not always an easy thing to do)

What an invaluable course it turned out to be! Helped waaaaaay beyond any math!

So it's good to at least know about these fallacies, which all have names. The categorization of these things is very helpful. Here's a site explaining many of them. Check it out!

[LatteLibertine]

28. Good for Rachel

Honestly, I thought Bill-O was starting to soften until I saw this.

Black people are stealing white folks money? Sad Bill just sad.

Progressive policies benefit all middle class and poor people. Your side wants to keep poor/middle class people exploited and disadvantaged. In the end a healthy happy employed population also would benefit the most wealthy, they're just too irrationally greedy to realize it.

We've got to get serious about worker rights and protecting the poor and middle class. Enough is enough.

[cleanhippie]

29. Maddow Rocks!

[liquid diamond]

31. She is so fucking brilliant. n/t

[Maestro]

32. Keep it up!

There is no way Faux and O'Reilly can win this. Their stupid mouths will make this easy. Convincing the idiots followers of Faux is going to be more difficult.

[Cleita]

35. That was a thing of beauty and with so much class. n/t

[Turborama]

37. K&R

For anyone who may have missed it, here's the other piece she did which also backs up her assertions...


Rachel On Faux's Narrative: They're Coming For You, White People. Black People Are Coming For You!

[southern_belle]

38. RM is awesome!!! k&r eom

[BlueIdaho]

39. Possibly the finest

Journalist of the decade.

[LaPera]

40. Great Rachel! Too bad it will go way over the heads of the stupid fucking Fox "news" watching sheep

Not only that but the segment was far too long for the dim witted uneducated, uninformed Fox news watching robots!

In so much it was a fantastic articulate and accurate job by the wonderful Rachel and her staff that was meant for people who think for themselves, you know, people with a full functioning brain!!

[AsahinaKimi]

41. I really wish

there were more like her.

[bagimin]

43. Best video ever.

[burning rain]

44. O'Reilly's a horse's ass.

He complains about Maddow saying he's encouraging whites to fear blacks, and he says explicitly that most blacks want the government to take white people's money and give it to them. That makes Maddow's assertion objectively true, dumbo: it isn't a matter of opinion; it's a fact.

[jennied]

45. Zinggggg

[Kurovski]

46. K&R. (nt)

[ZM90]

48. Bill = Pwn'd

[Stuart G]

49. Terrific ...Rachel tells thet truth..O'Rilley lies.. nt. K and R..
