Rachel Maddow: “Obama kicked his base in the teeth when he approved military trials for 9/11 terrorists”

Rachel Maddow can't quite put a finger on where her former viewers went

See Rachel Maddow get mad. See Rachel Maddow pout. See Rachel Maddow rant. Ahhhh, this is television at its finest.

Turns out Rachel’s upset about what she calls “fake court, off-shore tribunals.” You know, the kind that have been held for hundreds of years, the kind that have been approved by the Supreme Court. In other words, the kind liberals hate most.

Maddow: “That sort of tells you everything you need to know about how the beltway sees the relationship between the Democratic party and the Democratic party’s base …But a Democratic president kicks his base in the teeth on something as fundamental as civil liberties, he puts the nail in coffin of a civil liberties promise he made on his first full day in office and does it on the first day of his reelection effort? The beltway reaction to that is, good move … That’s the difference between Republican politics and Democratic politics.

Pardon us while we laugh our asses off. Feel free to join us.

  • Ooooooooh, Rachael MadCow had a Cow
    Eee I Edd I Owe!

    (sung to the tune of John Lennon’s “ Give [green] Peas a Chance .”

    So freeping what? Does anyone even watch much less listen to that Bull Doggie flaming Lesbo queen and chief spokes dike of [MEN’S}haberdashery?

    I wouldn't know because I have blocked MSNBC on my television cable programming as I have found that It is offensive and perverted and not suitable for responsible literate adult audiences.

    The five (5) views who actually pay for an MSNBC subscription are analphabetic idiots who use their parental allowance very unwisely, the rest have pirated cable, stolen flat screen T.V’s and are rappin knuckle draggin ghetto cretins.

  • Do you think anyone would mind if I kicked some of Obama's base in the teeth? I'd kick them in the nuts, but only the women have any.

  • Rachel Maddow and all her leftist trash friends hated George Bush but always supported Islamic mass murders.Somebody explain this?

  • Leftist trash like Rachel Maddow and the rest of M.S.N.B.C.work for Obama and the Democratic Party.Why is'nt leftist trash Rachel Maddow talking about how Obama and the Democratic's Parties best friend Jeffrey Immelt and General Electric is keeping 14 billion dollars by not paying any taxes.Leftist trash Rachel Maddow and M.S.N.B.C know that General Electric is going to give bags of money to support Obama and Democrat Party in 2012 campaign.

    • Simple answer is this, people like Madcow, O'Donnell, Schultz, Matthews, Cenk, Mika, Olbermann, & other progressive socialists don't have any standards. As long as they feel they can/will benefit, they will go along with whatever. The best standard is the double standard, & it is what socialism is all about. Socialism is for the people, not the socialist. So when you see idiots spouting about how we need to be more progressive & socialist as a society, ask yourself if those people will live by the rules they wish to impose. They almost never do.

      • Hell, they won't even put themselves under the same healthcare program they want to force on us. Does anyone really expect them to live by the rest of their agenda? I'm already one of the people exempted from the healthcare scam, but I'll still have to pay more taxes to provide healthcare for all the illegal aliens and the rest of those who will receive, but not pay for, lousy quality healthcare.

  • Is it truly alleged when the guy pretty much confessed to it?

    Oh no... Obama might not have the lesbian vote... this is bad for Obamie. Oh well...

  • A few of the exteme Lefties will whine about Obama's "betrayal" of his promise to end military tribunals for terrorists but the Democrat base will say nothing, just as they said nothing about the bombing of Libya, the surge in Afghanistan, Keeping Gitmo open, expanded Predator attacks, leaving the Patriot Act intact, etc. (everything candidate Obama promised to end in 2008). They're such hypocrites and it shows that the "anti-war" movement of 2003-2008 was really an unprincipled anti-Bush movement.

    It's no coincidence that the decision to try KSM in Gitmo rather than New York City was made on the day Obama announced that he was running for reelection
    in 2012. Team Obama knows that the proposed NYC trial is wildly unpopular and might cost The One votes in 2012. Moving the trial to Gitmo was strictly a political decision.

    So Maddow can rant and rave, nobody watches her anyway. Strangly, I respect her opposition to Obama's decision, she's a loon but she's a consistent loon.

  • Maddow is turning on Obama. The Hillary supporters have already turned on Obama. And yet, I don't currently see any GOP candidate other than maybe Herman Cain who can beat Obama in 2012. Depressing.

      All we are saaaaaying.....

    • Nail on the head!

      Elitist e·lit·ist Noun: A person who believes that a system or society should be ruled or dominated by an elite.

      My way or the Hi-way mentality.

      • I think that way about elitists! I say to myself; self, it they won't listen to you then crash their damn party and kick them all to the curb, then throw them all under the next city bus that rolls by. My way or the highway...who do they think they're messing with? (sound of hands being brushed together as I walk away from my apparent psychotic episode.)
