First, she thinks Michele Bachmann should be mentioned among the top contenders for the Republican nomination for president. That should say enough, but there's more.
She was arguing over the point made by Maher that Blue States tend to pay out more in federal taxes than they receive, while Red States tend to receive more than they pay out. That's an indisputable fact that would take a few minutes to Google to find out. But, then again, that's a teabagger. They're too damned lazy to research when they have the Limbaugh's and Hannity's and others reinforcing their preconceived notions of the world.
She argues again during New Rules when Maher points out that 80% of the new wealth in this country generated between 1980 and 2005 went to the richest 1%. I don't know if she's arguing if it's true or if she sees nothing wrong with such an income disparity.
I was disappointed in Begala. He should have thrown everything she said back at her in spades. She left herself so open to rebuttals it wouldn't have been pretty. But, for some reason, Begala didn't seem to have the edge in his comments that he normally would.
Loesch got defensive and corrected Maher when he referred to them as teabaggers. Tough shit! That's what the teabaggers called themselves when they were formed. If they were too stupid and lazy to realize that teabagging is also a name of a sex act involving the male sex organ, then they can live with it.
What's with the 2-1 majority of RWers on the panel?
