RACHEL MADDOW IS CRAZY, TOO
Powerline ^ | JANUARY 6, 2014 | JOHN HINDERAKER

Posted on 01/07/2014 11:05:36 AM PST by 12th_Monkey

MSNBC has had a hard time lately. The network fired Martin Bashir and Alec Baldwin for craziness, on-air and off-air respectively. Melissa Harris-Perry was forced to apologize, first on Twitter and then, tearfully, on the air, for making political hay out of Mitt Romney’s adopted grandson. The network put Ed Schulz out to pasture, and most people wrote Chris Matthews off as a hysteric long ago, so that pretty much leaves Rachel Maddow–amazingly enough–as MSNBC’s supposed voice of sanity. Eliana Johnson has reported on Maddow’s status as the “queen” of MSNBC, who wields more control than anyone else over the network’s often-crazed content.

But is Maddow any better than the rest? A recent incident suggests that if anything, she is worse.

Last Thursday, 45 minutes before Maddow’s show began, her producer sent this email to representatives of Koch Industries, with which MSNBC has long been obsessed

(see link for MSNBC's email and the Koch brothers reply)

In a nutshell, Koch denied the accusation, MSNBC ran with the story anyway. They demanded a retraction, MSNBC refused.

So Andy Dick, aka Rachel Maddow, lies with impunity and PMSNBC covers....so whats new.

“Big Eddy” is gone??? Since when?

I though the was the one who would have an on-air meltdown first and beat some poor guest senseless until the cops showed up and put him down with dart guns.

Not crazy. Just a hardcore, Leftwing zealot who will lie and do whatever else it takes to advance her agenda.

Let’s not confuse crazy with evil.

The “C” in MSNBC stands for “crocodile tears”

I didn’t know he was shipped off to MSNBC’s fat camp either. Maybe MSNBC can make a reality tv show staring all their fired talkshow people. Maybe call it Breaking Stupid...BS for short title.

Did you say craziness?

“Just because it snows in winter doesn’t mean the planet isn’t getting warmer.”

How about Rachel being the Queen of BOTH crazy and evil?

She could be the Red Queen in any of the various interpretations of “Alice in Wonderland”.

People should emphasize that the MS of MSNBC stands for Microsoft. Wonder how Bill Gates would feel after a while being closely identified with this clown parade. Rachel may find it a bit more difficult to promote her vile agenda.

Maddow’s biggest problem now is that FNC put her up against The Kelly File at 9pm.

With all due respect to Dagny Taggart at her brother's wedding, Rachel is the man in the MSNBC family.

Bill Gates fits right in. Every left-wing loonie cause all along has had Gates' personal seal of approval. He funds stuff like zero population growth and state-sanctioned homo bonding initiatives.

Wait a minute - Rachel - that’s a girl’s name right? Looks a lot like a guy to me. Why do American institutions promote and glorify deviants?

Sic GRETA on the facts of the matter. It’s FOX that owns the viewers and she could make funny facts out of COMCAST financing the same Safety organization, along with the KOCH Bros!

Let Madcow finger her own employer if she wants cred. That’s a laugh. “Lo fo” voters are the only ticket for PMSNBC (Prissy Marxists Sertainly Not Bashful Communists).

“But wait! A final level of deception remains to be revealed: one of the many companies that have contributed to the State Policy Network is Comcast, which owns MSNBC and is Rachel Maddow’s employer.”
