While Rachel Was Talking About Robo-Calls...
I got a call from Michelle Obama, and I listened to every word. It was an interesting moment. Does anyone else see a bit of synchronicity going on with this campaign?

2. Why, pray tell?
OK, I get it. Let it roll off your back, and get used to criticism, lots of it, from this board especially, if our Dems win this election and get into a great position.
It's going to happen; that's what's so healthy about this. I can criticize, you can tell me I'm full of it IF you can prove it. Works for me.

4. Because...
Edited on Wed Oct-22-08 09:11 PM by 1corona4u
when we are busy trying to cover up a turd in the litter box, she's right there to uncover it, and it's unnecessary.(like the bradley effect thing) She always does this. Tonight she did it with the Brian Williams interview. It had been on Hardball, Keith, and then she has to run it too. She made fun of the Obama campaign for criticizing mccain over the robo calls, when they just did it too, and that was the last I saw, because I turned her off.

It's just been my feeling for a week or so that she is becoming a....I don't know....she's just not doing Obama and the left any favors, not that I can see. Plus, she repeats too much of what Keith does.

I'm just sick of the whole thing I think.

8. Rachel Maddow is our friend, you need to realize that.
Enjoy your opinion, but you're overreacting imo. And I'm not about to continue to defend her, because I don't agree with you.
Stand-by. If there's a talking head you agree with all the time, let me know. I bet you hated or still do dislike KO.
We are here to pick everything apart. You've done what you thought was right.

9. I love Keith. I've never had any issues with him.
I see him as fair, even when I don't agree with him.

14. To be honest she does that to me as well.
This happened to me yesterday than today. She really irritated me yesterday and the show couldn't end fast enough.

Keith I always seem to agree with, so never a thing bugs me. It's Tweety who normally annoys me, but for some reason I love watching because he has great conversations with varying views and everyone is always arguing.

12. Nothing personal, but you need to learn to listen to constructive criticism...
She's trying to point out obvious issues. Nothing wrong with that.

3. I must have missed what the fuss was about.
I turned off Rachel the minute I saw Pat Pukanan's face on the TV.

Can't stand that man and I'm already tired of the Rachel vs. Pat shit MSNBC loves to put on the air.

5. I don't understand why Rachel keeps having Pat on her show...
I use to like Rachel alot, but I'm beginning to feel like she's smelling her self as the old heads would say.

7. Yeah, it kills me.
It's like someone at MSNBC went:

Hey, Rachel is popular on the left and is young and Pat is (I guess) popular on the right and is old! She's an open lesbian and he's straight (we think)! What a juxtaposition! Let's put them together! Every time there's a big political to-do! And let's make sure he gets to go on her show!

:puke:

6. Funny you said this....Monday when I came in and turned it on
I was sickened with the whole "campaign suspension" that really wasn't a suspension talk! Yesterday was irritating with all the gaffe comments and tonight I just didn't watch. I've lost something for that show....hope I get it back. I really did enjoy the first few weeks of rachel.

15. I mentioned that when someone was talking about it on this thread.
Then I had to deal with people defending her...Oh she was reading from the teleprompter. I'm like she was reading from a notepad in her hand and even KO was doing the same, but KO did NOT list it as a suspension ever. He just said he Obama had to visit his grandmother but the campaign was continuing. Don't say the logical thing sometimes because someone will always jump down someones throat. But I had to say it came out of her mouth just like Campbell Brown, when obviously it wasn't the case. AT least KO had the knowledge to know what the situation was, and he broke it before Campbell Brown or Rachel did.
