When has Rachel done some "pants on fire" stuff?
Cite them please.
The connection she tried to draw between the Kochs and the Florida drug testing law was Beckian in its conspiratorial absurdity. The logic she used would have implicated MSNBC's parent company as complicit in what she accused the Kochs of.
Wait what?
The Kochs fund every conservative group from here to timbukto. They actually have groups writing legislation that gets put up for votes, verbatim.
It's not Beckian to make that "accusation".
Because that's what they do.

The connection she tried to draw in this case was so wrong that even PolitiFact had to label it Mostly False. If a Republican had said something similar they wouldn't have been given the benefit of a "Mostly". Did she ever take MSNBC's parent company to task for doing the same thing she accused the Kochs of?
If you heard her opening statement you wouldn't have to ask that question.Perry didn't make fun of Kieran Romney. The photo was a terrible choice of subject matter to make any kind of joke about it, but she didn't actually insult the child.
And I believe her apology was sincere. Why would she want to insult anyone for adopting a black child? It would be like slapping her own family.
I must have missed Marc's point then?
The photo was the center piece to her point...
It was a "what were you thinking?" moment. Who could ever think it was a good idea to use a family photograph to prompt a comedy segment? But she didn't technically make fun of Kieran.
So did she call Comcast down too?

What are you claiming that Comcast did Amelia?
Please post it.
It was not a comedy segment.Perry used a family photo in a comedy segment. That was bad taste.
Amelia...So did she call Comcast down too?
What are you claiming that Comcast did Amelia?
Please post it.
Comcast is a donor to the same horrible State Policy Network that some Koch foundations donated money to, donations which somehow implicate the Koch brothers as backers of a dastardly law.
...How Democrats talk about the Tea Party is as bad as how the Tea Party talks about Democrats.
Two sides of the same coin....
Limbaugh, who has never given a damn about anybody but himself, why would he care that millions don't have health care, that's what's bad for the country.Limbaugh's statement was a pithy way to recognize that Obama's agenda would be bad for the country, so naturally we don't want him to succeed in passing it.
You continue to sugar coat what he said.You continue to misrepresent what McConnell said.
That's bullshit. The majority of Americans are supporting the opposite of what they vote for. Get your head out of the sand. Why do you think Republicans have such a low rating? Lower than Obama's......you think that the handful of people like you should be the ones making the decisions for the majority?The actions of Republicans in Congress reflect people who are doing what their constituents sent them to Washington to do. The left says that if Republicans want something different from Obama's agenda they need to start winning elections. Well, Republicans won elections. My legislators in my district and state won elections and went to Washington with a mandate from me.
That's your opinion, so of course you are entitled to it. But, it's bullshit....I don't twist anything...just because I don't agree with your revised version of everything doesn't mean it has been twisted.This is about the fifth time I've tried to have a political discussion with you. You twist words, make extreme statements, sometimes backpedal when caught out, and sometimes don't even have the grace to recognize that you have been caught out. You double down and pretend your extreme version of events is fact.
I should be able to say the same about you, yet you sometimes get nasty and throw in your digs even in the social settings......like you did in the Porch thread. And, you'll keep responding, because you can't stand when your whitewashed version of conservatism is revealed for what it is.I keep saying I won't make the mistake of engaging you again. But you can be such a nice person in nonpolitical settings that I forget and try again. Hopefully I won't forget next time.

politifact said the line between the corporation and the Koch's wasn't absolutely clear.
personally, I thought that was bogus.
And I could find 50 racist posts from Right-Wingers here on USMB.Radio host John Sylvester. I've never heard of him before, and it's likely that you hadn't, either.Does this response from Mertex exist in a vacuum? Did this kind of comment spontaneously start after Bush was no longer in office?
(No, it didn't.)
Radio Host Calls Rice an 'Aunt Jemima'
p.s., I appreciate Sallow showing that attitude is not universal, not that I thought it was, but it was still refreshing to hear Sallow say something in response.
I rest my case.
And you'll just ignore Mertex's response to you.
Good job.
I found what you requested -- an example other than the one you claimed to be tired of hearing.
There are more. Why would I google 8 years of inappropriate reactions to a highly qualified public servant when you have Mertex's response staring right at you and you ignore it?
Explain this, please:"and the comments made by McConnell that their main goal was to make him fail?"
*sigh*
McConnell pointed out that even if the GOP won the Senate in 2010, we couldn't stop Obamacare unless we took the White House back in 2012, which would mean that we needed to, in Obama's terms, make sure he was a one-term president.
Every time a Democrat cites McConnell's 2010 comment as anything other than that they sound like they aren't interested in the truth.
I've even heard people claim he said that in 2008 right after the election. That's how desperately people twist what was a simple observation about what would be needed to stop Obamacare.
And THEN Hilary Rosen uses the word 'work' instead of 'employed' when saying that Queen Ann Romney never worked a day in her life, and the Right Wing Nut Jobs have another hissy-fit.That'a a bold-face LIE from the pits of a Republican Hell!Melissa Harris-Perry, for one, with a bunch of fellow Democrats on MSNBC, who made jokes which denigrated the Romney family for adopting an African-American baby.
To her credit, she made a tearful - if less than honest - apology a couple days later.
MHP in no way, shape or form made any joke about that child.
Can you PRODUCE said joke from MHP?
Let me help you...no...you can't, because she never made one.
MHP was simply hosting her show, when a couple of comedians, one of whom was white went making a joke, and it wasn't against the baby, it wasn't even that bad, it was a joke and MHP's comment was simply, to respond that "wouldn't it be funny if Kanye West's and Kim Kardashians baby grew up and married Romney's grandbaby" that was it, she also said that the child was beautiful. But you race-hustling RW BASTARDS have somehow turned that into MHP making racist jokes bashing Romney's black baby or Romney himself. When NOTHING of the sort happened.
I was VERY pissed at her apology, because it sincerely wasn't necessary, she did no wrong. Yet, she felt bad and poured her heart out, to have the likes of some filthy RW bastard like yourself just dismiss it as false.
Makes me SICK to my STOMACH!!
*spits*
Add in Romney, himself, as fired Americans and profited from it. Then he ran for President and held court telling everyone about how he felt about them. 47% of Americans want "Free" stuff. This coming from a man born with a golden spoon in his mouth never having to do physical labor for a wage, ever.
That..never made one conservative even wince.
You're flailing.Anyone remember Obama's hypocritical behavior with regard to Bush's Supreme Court nominees?
He said it would be wrong to filibuster, would be wrong to vote no for a qualified nominee for ideological reasons, agreed the nominee was qualified, and then filibustered and voted no anyway after being reminded that not joining the partisan bus might put a crimp in his future political aspirations.

How many times have you called out Rush/Sean/Beck/Billo, etc for "bad taste".Perry used a family photo in a comedy segment. That was bad taste.
