VIA UT: MSNBC's Rachel Maddow & The Republican 'ScamWow' - 04/21/09

I do dislike the way she just seems to be a voice for the democratic party whatever they may choose to do.
This is much more a real case of actually having the power to shut down the internet in cases of "cyber security".
The republicans may come out with a lot of over the top paranoid kind of stuff and it may discredit them for when there are real issues.

I can't see this as being a good thing, and it's so obviously open to abuse.
I'm surprised the republicans oppose it though. Perhaps they oppose it in principal until they are in power and then will think it's a good idea.
I don't think this should be passed whoever is in power.

As for them taking it as an opportunity to scam stupid republicans, I couldn't care less.

I just wish Rachel Maddow wasn't so clearly biased and presuming that anything Barack does must be good.
This particular news item is not much of a laughing matter.

Why is it every time I watch one of her clips I cringe? It's like watching a young kid come crying to mommy 'look what they did mommy look!' Does she do anything else besides complain about the antics of a few right wing idiots? Dont get me wrong, i despise repubs and dems equally, but her show is just plain retarded.

Rachel Maddow FTW!

She has gone after Democrats hard in the past. Like Olbermann she is a lefty who is willing to go after democrats when they do something she thinks is dumb.

She is a Rhodes Scholar and a bright woman.

And one day, I'm just hoping her and Ana Marie Cox can kiss...just once.

This isn't unique to Republicans... I get these kinds of emails with words in caps, like she's talking about, from my far-left friends all the time... it's just without the money scam part.

Psychologicsays...

Maddow isn't so much "pro Democrat" as she is "anti Republican". She will disagree with Dems and Obama from time to time, but she does seem to look for every little thing she can possibly make fun of on the Republican side.

It's probably idealism rather than partisanship. She doesn't like what the Repubs stand for so she points out all the little things that make the look silly.

Nuts to Ana Marie Cox, if you want an educational yet a sexy news two way. Get your facts and get Laura Logan =) *drool & glee*

The point here is that, although this bill does suck, the Republicans continue to fear-monger and generally make asses of themselves by claiming OBAMA WANTS TO SHUTOFF THE ENTIRE INTERNETZ!!!! For a little clarity, the Cybersecurity Act of 2009 was introduced by both Democrat AND Republican SENATORS who both most likely think the Internet is made of a "series of tubes"! Assuming we all voted for officials who know anything about the Internet and our privacy, this bill will most likely die a horrible death in it's current state. *fingers crossed*

say what you want about the obvious bias, when it was not democrats in charge these people were not calling for secessions and rebellions against a supposed "tyrrany."

thats what the right doesn't seem to get - most of us are looking at their bullshit and asking outselves, what the fuck drugs are these people on? it wasn't so with liberal activists, quite simply because they didn't spend their time calling for revolutions and such. they were engaged with grassroots efforts to do symbolic and ultimately meaningless things to send a message... but it was never a threat.

some minority probably did call for executions of the president or whatever the fuck (any minority of a minority tends to be extreme enough to pull such crazy shit), but the right and their voicebox (fnc) doing this is not helping them at all with the majority view.

as much as i hate the right-wing punditry stirring their shit, i secretly hope they keep doing it and lose election after election to regular people who are afraid - as a result of this shit - that the right wing is insane and will destroy the country.

i say this as a libertarian... healthy dissent is good and the intelligent articulation of dissent is even better, but if the dissent has no purpose or logic and is simply placed behind extremist shouts suggesting a violent uprising, it becomes indistinguishable from jihad movements.

kudos to the right for their well-developed voicebox. too bad they didn't spend any money to understand how to deliver a message that wouldn't make normal people want to vomit.

IF YOUR BASE WAS ENOUGH TO RETAIN CONTROL, YOU WOULD STILL BE IN CONTROL.
