Rachel handed Him His ASS and He Doesnt....

[rsmith6621]

.....even know it.....Mr Armstrong I am glad your not in my congressional district....Your a MORON...

[gateley]

1. I didn't see it, but from the posts, I'm thinking DeFazio has some great campaign footage,

not to mention that it'll probably be all over the other MSNBC shows tomorrow! Eagerly awaiting video!

Rachel Rocks! She's probably the only one who could have pulled this off because she's able to be objective and not let her ego get in the way.

[proud2BlibKansan]

15. Here. You'll enjoy it:

[lumpy]

2. Boy, if that doesn't get Dems to the polls, nothing will.

Angry mad scientist running for public office.

[proud patriot]

3. no kidding

Rachel was great as always

[krispos42]

6. Lewis Black said...

(paraphrasing here) that what's great about democracy is that ANYBODY can run for office. And what STINKS about democracy is that... ANYBODY can run for office!

:D


Hi T, how goes life?

[proud patriot]

18. Too true

I'm good M , getting over some nasty bronchitis but other than that back to work with the little ones .

My little guy just started his freshman yr in HS and he loves it . I hope all is well with you and your little one .

[krispos42]

26. He's in kindergarden and loving it.

:-)

[bulloney]

34. Why do you think O'Donnell, Angle and the other teabagger candidates don't want to be on her show?

They're so used to functioning in their teabagger world bubble and getting softball questions from Faux Snooze and the other RW media that they're totally unprepared to answer the kinds of questions they should be prepared to answer from a Rachel Maddow.

Rachel's media skewering of Rand Paul after the primaries should have sent a signal to the rest of Teabagger Nation that you don't want to appear on her show because she'll give you enough rope to hang yourself from things you've said or supported in the past.

My take on the teabaggers is that they've been incubating for 20-30 years by listening to Limpdick, Sean Insanity, Glen Beckkk and the like. Now, they feel empowered to go to the next level and publicly display their ignorance on the issues at public forums and by running for high-profile offices. The reason they haven't been humiliated back to the holes that they crawled out of is because too many media have been pumping them up as being more credible than they should be. Teabaggers are angry about everything, yet they support candidates and carry the water for the people and corporations causing the problems they're angry over.

4. I watched the last few minutes of the interview. I felt for the guy.

Years in his little anti-science, anti-logic bubble, all nice and snug in a crowd of like-minded followers. Then along comes Rachel and her patented Lance of Logic™, so he raises the first solid object he can find: Satellite Delay Is A Government Conspiracy.



He's a couple of beers short of a six-pack.

[proud patriot]

20. "Then along comes Rachel and her patented Lance of Logic™"

:thumbsup:

[eleny]

5. It was one of her more entertaning interviews

I was waiting for his head to explode. Her composure is, as ever, priceless.

[and-justice-for-all]

7. I love it when she makes them stutter and trip over their own BS...nt

[mulsh]

8. she was so "sarcastic", he kept telling her so.

I hope a lot of the voters up in Oregon were watching this or see it on the net.

As the interview progressed I felt increasingly uncomfortable.I've never had a high opinion of republicans but it looks like the party's powers that be have given up completely.
This guy made the half governor look like a Rhodes Scholar.

Kudos for Rachel for the way she handled this segment.

[babylonsister]

14. "This guy made the half governor look like a Rhodes Scholar. "

:rofl: I agree!

[Kablooie]

25. She WAS sarcastic...

The definition of sarcasm:

sar·casm   

–noun

1. harsh or bitter derision or irony.

2. Reading someone's previously written statements back to them.

[A HERETIC I AM]

9. Deleted

[CatWoman]

10. the scary part is

this fucking moron is a scientist :scared:

[immoderate]

12. Well he calls himself one.

I don't know of any real science he has done. He sure doesn't stand by what he discovered 15 years ago.

--imm

[jaysunb]

16. Cal Tech no less....

I live less than a mile from the main campus, so my neighborhood is full of "Techies" as they are known locally, and some are pretty radical politically. Some, not all.
Also have more than a fair share of racist too....:(

:hi:

[Kablooie]

28. I live near JPL. Are the techies usually conservative?

I would expect more of them to be liberal.
I've never talked politics with the Cal Tech Profs and scientists in my neighborhood.

[jaysunb]

29. Some are liberal, but those

that are off to the right, are really out there.

And yes, I always thought scientist would be all for Government funding, but when you look around the neighborhood at the yard signs year after year, you begin to get the picture.

I'm stumped. :shrug:

[Johonny]

23. read his wiki page and he doesn't sound like much of a scientist

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_B._Robinson

He is the founder, president, and professor of chemistry at the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine

Art Robinson was an undergraduate chemistry student at Caltech and received his Ph.D. from the University of California San Diego. He was appointed to the faculty of the University of California (in San Diego) immediately after getting his Ph.D.<1> from which he resigned in 1972. In the Spring of 1978 Robinson gave speech at the Cato Institute in San Francisco, deploring the government funding of science as harmful to the independence that is essential to scientific inquiry. In 1973 Robinson co-founded the Institute of Orthomolecular Medicine in Menlo Park, California along with Linus Pauling and another colleague. In the Summer of 1978, Pauling removed Robinson from the Institute of Orthomolecular Medicine. Robinson sued for slander, breach of contract, and fraud. The case was settled out of court with Pauling paying Robinson $575,000 in 1980 (about $1,350,000 in 2010 dollars). Robinson is also critical of Pauling's 1958 claim, that continued nuclear testing would kill "millions of children". Robinson is a signatory to A Scientific Dissent From Darwinism, a petition produced by the Discovery Institute that expresses skepticism about the ability of natural selection to account for the complexity of life, and encouraging careful examination of the evidence for "Darwinian theory".


He sounds like a wonk. A wonk with some research ability and a PhD, but even in sciences you get a few cranks. He sounds like he's worn out his welcome a loooong time ago with the regular research community. Linus Pauling not a guy you wanted to stop researching with.

[Kablooie]

24. He's a scientist and a very good one, as he told us several times.

[one_voice]

11. This is what the teabaggers have done...

since the beginning. They shout over you, cut you off, call you names, accuse of things that aren't true..etc. It's in their playbook. Just look at the town all meetings from last summer. Their message survived ours died, hence the watered down health care bill. And when they're called out on their bullshit they whine about the main stream media being bias, and "picking" on them. That trend was started by the very thin skinned mama grizzly. She likes to talk shit, but she can't take it.

They're all weak sniveling cowards.

[Towlie]

13. Please, never write "your a moron." It's just SO typically Republican.

[Motown_Johnny]

17. I can't wait to watch tomorrow night's follow up.. it could take up the entire hour

but it would still be worth it

[TheDebbieDee]

19. I didn't see it that way. I saw it as some goofball using Rachel's

show to get his bull$hit message out there.

And she let him do it!

[shraby]

21. If she had cut his mike the story would have been that

she cut it to stop his message from getting out there..not that he was being aggressively rude.

[Catshrink]

22. And here's to you, Dr. Robinson

And here's to you, Dr. Robinson
Rachel owned you more than you will know (Wo, wo, wo)
You're a nutjob, Dr. Robinson
Over exposed to nuclear waste
(U, U, U ...Pu, Pu, Pu)

Rach' wants to know a little bit about your point of view
Rach' wants to read some stuff you wrote yourself
Look around you all you see are governmental lies
AIDS and global warming brought out your gnome

And here's to you, Dr. Robinson
Rachel owned you more than you will know (Wo, wo, wo)
You're a nutjob, Dr. Robinson
Over exposed to nuclear waste
(U, U, U ...Pu, Pu, Pu)

You can't hide your opinions where no one ever goes
Now everyone knows that you're a cupcake
It's no longer a secret, you've said them on the air
Most of all, you've shown why the 'pugs kept you hid

And here's to you, Dr. Robinson
Rachel owned you more than you will know (Wo, wo, wo)
You're a nutjob, Dr. Robinson
Over exposed to nuclear waste
(U, U, U ...Pu, Pu, Pu)

Sitting by a camera with a satellite feed
Spewing meanness at the speed of light
Laugh about it, shout about it
Your words are pure refuse
Ev'ry way you look at it, you lose

Where have you gone, Civility
A nation turns its tired eyes to you (Woo, woo, woo)
What's that you say, Dr. Robinson
Listening has left and gone away
(Hey, hey, hey...hey, hey, hey)

(Yeah, I posted it in another thread. Guilty. But hey, I worked really hard on this. :blush:)

[Karenina]

30. It's BRILLIANT!

:bounce::party::bounce:

[Catshrink]

31. Thank you!

[Manifestor_of_Light]

27. She was very professional. Very simple questions.

She read his exact quotes back to him, asking him if he said them, yes or no, and he said she was "sarcastic". He doesn't know the meaning of the word.

These Repubs just will not admit that they said what they said.

[Javaman]

32. I'm come to the conclusion that the repukes just go on Rachel's show to filibuster.

That's their tactic. They go on to just talk over her and attack their competitor without answering anything.

[JoePhilly]

33. I liked it when he was ranting and Rachel began to bang her head on the desk

[jtrockville]

35. Best part: he accused her of LYING when she read HIS WORDS

What a sheer lunatic!

[MattBaggins]

36. There was still a debate about AIDS in 1995

No Mr. Robinson; by 1995 only a handful of idiots still disbelieved the HIV/AIDS connection.

You're stupid and not a good scientist.

[snooper2]

37. Your a MORON - should be - You're (or You are) a MORON

FYI :P

[myrna minx]

38. That was an incredible interview.

:applause: Rachel.
