How gullible is Rachel Maddow? Plenty, apparently. The MSNBC host has bought into North Korean propaganda on Gitmo.
On last night’s show [MSNBC video here], Maddow told the story of two American reporters being held by the North Koreans. In response to inquiries on how they are being treated, the North Koreans reportedly said: “we are not Guantanamo.”
That plunged Maddow into a bad bout of Bush-Cheney Derangement Syndrome. According to her, until we expunge the supposed stain of Gitmo and Bush admin policies on dealing with suspected terrorists, we will never have the moral authority to condemn the abuse of prisoners by brutal regimes. She used the occasion to renew her call for the convening of Sen. Patrick Leahy’s proposed “Truth Commission.”

Maddow buys into North Korean Gitmo propaganda ping to Today show list.
Rachel Maddow is a man.
Just goes to prove that you can be an Oxford PHD and still be a dumb $hit.
Self righteous liberals in action again. Soooooo, if we were to line up the last adminstration and shoot them all then we would be in a position to criticize others?
Who’s that guy?
What a nice looking young man
(Oh, oops!)
Never confuse intellect with intelligence.
“So long as liberals invest tyrants of their choice with the power to fix our moral standards, liberals can always find a tyrant who will make America wrong.”
Very well said.
Yeah, moral authority has always been a very useful tool when dealing with repressive regimes like North Korea.
she’s more manly than keith.
As I grow older, I have come to value "common sense" more than "book smarts".
That process actually began with a philosophy class I took my senior year in college. The "light went on" when my professor, a Jesuit priest, ripped the veneer off the mystery of philosophy: "with philosophy, it's not what you say, it's how you say it. Philosophy is nothing but a bunch of bull$hit".
I'm proud of the "B" I earned in that class. I was one of two students (of 14) in that class that wasn't a theology major.
When you insert a pair of scissors into a full-term baby’s skull, liberals applaud the ‘choice’.
When you put a pair of underpants on a terrorist’s head and take pictures of it, liberals scream and yell that it is torture.
I no longer tolerate liberal outrage as it is contrived for political gain and not derived from principled beliefs.
Yes, the pointy head academics think they are so smart ... and sadly are the dumbest.
Rachel Mancow was just using the North Korean accusation as a springboard to continue to rewind the clock to once again attack Republicans because there is nothing new them to smear with as we are no longer the party in power so when the reporting ends, the opinionated lunacy begins.
Oh, yes, Leahy dipped his spear in the slaughter of the innocents and he cannot be forgiven.
First the hearing, then the hanging, then a trial at some point later on if we think it really necessary.
Can you tell us a little about yourself Rachel
Rachael: Why yes Larry, the most important thing you should know about me is that I am a Lesbian.
Larry King: Really Rachael? I would never have guested you were a Lesbian. How are things in Lebanon?
Too bad she can’t ask Daniel Pearl about Gitmo.
