She is angry. A lot of us are angry. And she seems to be one of the only ones in the media calling out the BS.

THanks for the transcript.

I watch Rachel every night and have been since her show started. When she threw her papers it was out-of-character enough that I noticed it and thought Rachel must have been rattled. That never happens! I didn't think about it being in homage to KO. He would usually pick the papers up and fling them like a Frisbee at the camera. It looked to me more like Rachel just pushed the papers away from her which resulted in her pushing them off her desk. It looked like a rare moment of frustration. I could be wrong. The thing did come off very "Special Comment" like.

That was one of her best pieces. Thanks for posting the video.

about Rachel. Watching that the other night, I said to myself, self? Rachel is really ticked off right now. Very rarely see the overt anger.

I, frankly, was pleased to see it. Go Ms. Maddow! Love her!

for posting.

definitely "must-see".

I saw this last night too.

Covering this election has to be exhausting, but the truth needs to be told.

Thanks Rachel!

It's one of my dreams to meet her someday, and thank her...

If you can, click the video link to see it first hand.

Where everything is a conspiracy and a lie if you don't like the facts. Well done to Rachel.

They live in a bubble. Everywhere they go they depend on the bubble. If the bubble breaks they are in trouble. It's a dilemma of their own making.

Poor Rachel. Living in a "journalists are fair, except those assholes at Faux!"

"Politico" neutral? lolz Where you been girl??

Julie

Look them up. She's under no illusions about politico being either neutral or fact-based.

You just can't argue with Rachel's logic and her supporting documents and clips. Unfortunately, the right keeps the TV tuned in to FOX and thinks she's just a lesbian gas bag. Yes, she's an open lesbian. GET OVER IT! There's nobody on the right who even comes CLOSE to backing up their claims with actual documentation. Nobody. Since Olberman left the scene, she and Bashir are pretty much the only two who do it well. Granted, Moyer, Mathews, Papantonio, Hayes, Hartman, and O'Donnell do well, but Rachel is the best.

I do miss him!

And I cheered. RM is amazing but I really do miss KO.

it's pretty concise. wasn't it rove who said fuck reality, we make our own? it was pretty notable when romney got caught actually believing that false reality when the facts were put before him.

Thanks for transcribing and posting!

She has to be the brightest woman on television today.

I was pointing out some 12 months ago that "fact check" organizations were hedging into right-wing territory because they're afraid of being labeled as tools of the liberal elite.

Because conservatives lie, distort and mis-state "facts" so much more that liberals do, these fact-check organizations' web sites - if they were honest and accurate - would be chock-full of articles pointing to right wing shortcomings while calling liberals to task only occasionally. This imbalance would make it look like favoritism of liberals over conservatives. So, fact-check organizations are straying from literal fact vs. non-fact checking and have started delving into 'context' in order to "balance things out" between liberals and conservatives.

Like someone famous recently said "Facts are liberal, apparently..."

This leaking of right-wing information bubble-ness form the fringe into the mainstream that Rachel speaks of is very real and supports and promotes the rightward lurching we're seeing in this country.

Until then we will continue down the path of fascism, faster or slower depending upon how good the situation is in DC.

I remembered Jon, after the Eastwood/ empty chair lunacy, saying - Now I get it, they are complaining about a president only they can see, with a screen shot of Eastwood and the empty chair.


Rachel had to be fed up. I have never heard(old Air America days) or seen her that angry. Very effective.

Great piece by Rachel, who has been a favorite of mine since Air America. This idea that reality should be changed to fit the truth the right (or even the left) wants to see is appalling. I think we're only seeing the beginning of this relative truth, invoking the Google algorithm of granting the most "truth" to the most shared/copied ideas. It will be an enemy of the truth from now on.

I missed that the other night. Thanks for posting.

but that's probably impossible.

on his show. Every show he shows a clip where "the facts can't get into the bubble". I'm sure he'll have another on tomorrows show.

and deserves wider exposure than D.U.

So I never saw the intensity in her eyes nor did I see her toss those papers there at the end.

Nevertheless, it was a powerful indictment of the right's basic inability to deal with inconvenient FACTS.

K&R.

And fyi...she's not Ms. Maddow, she's DR. Maddow! She rocks!

She delivers/spoon-feeds some canned vitriol to a calculated audience eager to lap-up something coming from "the media" that already exists in their own echo chamber - and in "morning zoo" fashion, none-the-less, making a nice transition from drive-time to tv-time (the only times that aren't work-time).

She's rich. No matter what her real feelings are, it's acting mad/angry at conservatives that has made her filthy-rich, so I'd guess that she's a-ok with it.

Night, that asshole, Ron Christie was all over the place about the incident and how Mittens was so right and everyone else was wrong. What an asshole!!! Just knowing he is coming on a program pisses me off.

on the left of the viewing screen: "Right Wing Truthers lead Romney to debate disaster". And the screen capture of Corsi on Bircher Jone's Infowars and Prisonplanet site. Because Romney's 'slip' came from running on 9-11 (2012) terror attack 'truth'.

Brad Blog amplified coverage from Zack Beauchamp from Think Progress's story: that Romney and his campaign waited 14 and 9 days, respectively, to refer to the attacks as terror. Anyone keeping track can see that Romney waited 2 weeks to say it, then lied and accused the President of waiting 2 weeks to say it.

This segment has fallen off the provided MSNBC page linked to in OP.

Thanks.

It's nice to see her finally reach her limit.

I saw one of the many RW posts on facebook - in one case, someone posted the transcipt of the speech in the Rose Garden, along with an "Obama lied!" . Now, since I was very busy these last few weeks, I didn't know much about the whole terror attack thing, so I went looking myself and found the ENTIRE transcript with the word "terror" and all (no mention of a film either). What the FB poster didn't do was post the ENTIRE transcript! I'm so sick of these lying sacks of shit, so I guess I'm with Maddow in her pissedoffness.
