The main fact is democrat Rachel Madow blames "truthers" for boston bombing. That is a fact, she blamed so called "truthers" for the boston bombing.

MSNBC is now trying to convince the sheeple that the Boston Bombers were not linked to Islamic Extremists, but instead they were linked to "Right-wing Extremists"

Rachel Madow is a Clown wearing an Obama mask. Someone should send her to the Missouri State Fair to substitute the other rodeo clown that has been wrongfully banned for Politically Correct reasons.

NAACP, the biggest clowns in the US, are now claiming that the Rodeo Clown who mocked Obama committed a "Hate Crime"

Is she right? Does she have any evidence of this? Do you have any evidence to the contrary?

Rachel Madow is a Clown wearing an Obama mask. Someone should send her to the Missouri State Fair to substitute the other rodeo clown that has been wrongfully banned for Politically Correct reasons.

For the zillionth time, why do you insist on calling people names?

NAACP, the biggest clowns in the US, are now claiming that the Rodeo Clown who mocked Obama committed a "Hate Crime":lol: :lol:

The NAACP, like many organizations has both strong and weak links, but why are you trying to ridicule someone's opinion? Just because you don't think its a hate crime doesn't mean it isn't.

 

[GILSAN]

Actually you are right. My apologies to the clowns who don't deserve the injustice of being compared to Rachel Madow

The NAACP, like many organizations has both strong and weak links, but why are you trying to ridicule someone's opinion? Just because you don't think its a hate crime doesn't mean it isn't.

Because the NAACP's statement is ridiculous. Bush got ridiculed a 1000 times worse during his 8 years in office and they never whispered a word of discontentment.

So..... does that mean you think it's a Hate Crime... or not?

Anyone with a modicum of intelligence knows that you are misrepresenting the media here to suit your own agenda. Which is fine - I'm sure you have a healthy fan base of radical free thinkers in your pocket.. or something. But if not, what is the collective name you use for a blind allegiance to msm conspiracy theories and a strong anti-islam bias? Or is sheeple appropriate?

You got it the other way round. It's the media that's misrepresenting the truth to suit their own political agenda. And all you need is just one brain cell to see this

didnt work, jump to 1:48

and I will have to correct myself "butts up against justifiying violence" is the exact quote.
We could check wiki for the real truth though....

 

[JB Lions]

So I just watched some Truther Chick who seems to have some obsession/crush on Rachel, take some video out of context with clever editing. She seemed to be upset at one part with Rachel telling viewers they have some pop up book with pictures to help explain/dumb it down for the Truthers about 9/11. And it seems Theo, has wanted to let everybody know here by mentioning it a few times, he's still against encyclopedias/facts. Yes, this is well known about the Truther mindset.

In other news, Republicans throwing a little hissy fit because of some programs on Hillary, CNN and MSNBC are going to have:

Republicans vote to bar CNN, NBC News from partnering in '16 debates

http://firstread.nbcnews.com/_news/...c-news-from-partnering-in-16-debates#comments

So scared of Hillary, lol. They know, she runs, she wins.

 

[Theo Goodman]

I am not against encyclopedias , wiki can be scewed ,its documented, on the internet, its the truth, its a fact.

Just because it says "5,000 terror attacks prevented by NSA info" doesnt prove anything. That is exactly what and the context of I am talking about in regards to wiki.

The quote is there, in the video,thats it. Nobody even tried to hide that the video is edited, it is soo clear that it is edited as to show you that it is , a big black screen flashing in your face.

How is the video taken out of context?

 

[JB Lions]

By not showing the beginning, middle and end. That segment was over 20 minutes long, she took out about a minutes worth of material.

I haven't watched the full thing, how come you didn't link to that?

Here - http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/...dia-boston-conspiracy-theories_n_3156095.html

"That is a fact, she blamed so called "truthers" for the boston bombing."

Where? You posted that as fact. Give me a direct quote, video of her blaming truthers for the Boston Bombing.

I just see her making fun of truthers, Alex Jones, their sheep, for always trying to blame our government for it.

 

[DU]

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJSx_gue82o"]Maddow Paints 9/11 Truthers As Potential Terrorist - YouTube[/ame]

She says nothing like what is implied in that other video. I don't even like her.
She has been taken so far out of context there is no context left.

It's like reading the bible and seeing Jesus say "surely I come quickly" and saying that he would be in favor of free dispensing of Viagra to Christians.

The problem is that you all talk about conspiracy theory and then feed into the same radicalized nonsense.

Hi, I'm the only one who is paying attention and can see the conspiracies- everyone else is a moron. Check out these people online that I've found that agree with me and I follow. You are all sheeple because you blindly accept soundbites from people who don't know anything where I've found these smart people to listen to....but I'm no sheep.

"and I will have to correct myself "butts up against justifiying violence" is the exact quote."

starrting at 1:48 of the first video , thats the quote where she says that it "butts up against justifiying violence" so really "allmost" justifying violence.

Yes I should have posted a link to the video, your right.

I often dont agree with her but the part at 11:18 , I agree with her point pertty much and around that point great editing work! Amazing, and what? She didnt play the videos of the people that she is talking about , amazing! Her edits , totaly out of context because the source material was not shown in whole. People in the video edited and taken out of context because she didnt show the begining middle and end.



The entire point oft he whole post was to provoke. Hell that is the main point of very many "news" shows in all parts of all spectrums.

"he problem is that you all talk about conspiracy theory and then feed into the same radicalized nonsense. "

Well that is the point, the things presented on MSNBC or FOX are more often than not "radicalized nonsense" but it is not accepted to call it "conspiracy theory" when in fact it is. Just because I post a video from abby martin doenst mean I agree with everything she says, I dont.

What would be defined as "radicalized nonsense" anyway, anything that you don t like ,or anything radical? I guess we should just stick to things that are not "radicalised nonsense" by concentrating on "pure nonsense" like who is going to win the next election.

I guess civility is a lost cause in some cases. Ever notice that it's the conservatives that do the name-calling?

Because the NAACP's statement is ridiculous. Bush got ridiculed a 1000 times worse during his 8 years in office and they never whispered a word of discontentment.

Was Bush depicted as a black man in a way that the NAACP should find disturbing?

So..... does that mean you think it's a Hate Crime... or not?

I don't know, but what do you think the rodeo clown was trying to accomplish by wearing a mask portraying president Obama? Apparently, many people found it offensive, but I'm not convinced it is a hate crime as much as poor judgment.

The problem is that some representative of the NAACP went on the radio and ran her mouth. I don't believe I have read any comment from the NAACP that anyone has actually requested any form of investigation and I don't think anyone has actually done anything. The media uses a lot of words like "demands federal probe" to paraphrase a radio interview to just get everyone in a tizzy. And it works.

Was it a hate crime? No.
Was it disrespectful to the highest office in the country? Yes.

It was at a taxpayer funded event so someone should/could be reprimanded because it was simply not appropriate. I would say the same if it was making fun of Bush...


EDIT 10:48 8/19: Seems there was some kind of formal statement made by the NAACP? I'm not sure... if there was a formal statement requesting investigation that really *is* absurd. I just assumed it was some knee-jerk reaction on radio that went viral.. my bad, I suppose.

That statement was meant for GILSAN who appears to think there is some massive conspiracy theory to which he is somehow enlightened while the rest of us are all in the dark being spoon fed bullshit .... he calls us sheeple but spend his entire time following the same old characters and screaming the same old line with soundbites that have distorted news to the point of being unrecognizable.

There's a source to the right wing Boston Bombing discussion (the one that suggests maybe they were right wing racists or conspiracy theory nuts or influenced by a zionist movement they thought existed), and that source has legitimacy. The original papers and details didn't replace one cause with another when it came to the Tsarnaev brothers, it merely suggested that there may be multiple reasons for them going off the rails and concluded that maybe it's not as simple as they were just influenced by al-qaeda. People get all riled up for all kinds of things and people that sensationalize any point of view generally just continue to feed into the machine. So you get videos claiming that so and so blames al-qauda - another one blames the US govt CIA cover up etc... it's all just crap.

Simple sensationalism is what the unintelligent masses want because it gives them control of something. It's easier to understand black and white bullshit than it is to consider the nuance of gray.

The media takes everything out of context to feed the conservative right their news... and Gilsan harvests that... it feeds the more liberal left their news and people harvest that.. and twitter magnifies the stupid and the absurd and people reblog the shit like they have a clue.

The absence of critical judgment that people exercise these days is shockingly embarrassing. I was on twitter once - I ended up being reported and one of my "cohorts" ended up being arrested in Arizona for threatening behaviour - at that point I realize that people weren't having fun being crazy - they really are just batshit nuts.

:lol: That's very funny indeed. Thanks... I needed a good laugh.

Here are10 images mocking George W. Bush that were far worse than a rodeo clown

http://michellemalkin.com/2013/08/1...t-were-far-worse-than-a-harmless-rodeo-clown/

How about "Game of Thrones" that showed George W. Bush's decapitated head impaled on a Stake. That probably was a good laugh for a lot of Liberals, wasn't it?

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...e-W-Bushs-decapitated-head-impaled-STAKE.html

There are loads of other examples, but I think the above ones are more than sufficient.

As for the NAACP, since they never found any of the above images about Bush offensive, all I can say is that they are prejudiced and don't give a $hit about white people, which they've proved time and time again.

 

[verbster]

You know, Gilson, if you put in just a little effort to see the crap done with Obama effigies, you'll see that Bush and Obama have both been hanged, burned, shot and whatever, and it's all disgusting. And that photo of a profile resembling Mr. Bush, golly, why just that one profile photo over and over. Someone must have a frontal photo of the entire face. Would be no arguing with that. As it is, do you also believe the photos of the face on Mars is evidence of alien life?

Who says the NAACP didn't find some images of Mr. Bush offensive. Why would you say something like that? But what if they did? Why would you expect that organization to do for him? I didn't see the Boy Scouts or Future Farmers of America or the association of Rodeo Clowns or any other organizations doing much for either of them. Does that mean you think they too are "prejudiced" like you brand the NAACP? Nope. Why is that?

LMAO!.. Here we go again.

You don't watch your own network MSNBC Verbster? OR, you do watch it and your oblivious to the hate and distortion they spew on the air every single day of the week?

I suppose from a Liberal perspective, the likes of Ed Shultz, Maddow, Mathews and Sharpton are the true voice, the voice of reason and fairness right?... Nothing but a pack of blowhards who manipulate news stories to fit their own narrative, just like they did with JORGE Zimmerman, .

I especially like the guests they bring on their shows, when they cant book race baiters, they bring on Liberal bloggers who always find a way of trashing female conservatives, reporting on their personal lives, what they bought, how much they spent, where they dine, Tabloid journalism that only Liberals with no life would find interesting.

At MSNBC, we book anyone who will agree with us, who will bash and trash like we do, It's what the network pays us to do.

Geetings, RG. Was wondering how long it would take you to jump in to the fray and start spewing names.

No, I don't watch any of the "liberal" shows you listed, nor do I watch any of the "conservative" shows you didn't. I do listen to NPR in the shower if that helps paint me as a liberal to you.

By the way, If you change "liberal" to "conservative" in your rant, or "MSNBC" to "Fox," it works just as well.

Oh yeah, don't forget to breathe every so often during your rants.

Almost 5 years later and all these douchebags can comment on is Bush, Cheney or Palin... Forget about the record $6.5 TRILLION their guy added to the national debt in less than 5 years, that's not relevant, Bush and his supporters? that's relevant.

And we know why their doing it, paint the opposition as evil, crazy, out of touch, racist, bigoted, sexist, Rich white men that don't care about minorities or the middle class... A tactic to win elections and mask Obama and the Democratic parties incompetence of the last 4 years.

No you don't watch any of the Liberal news shows, NPR is balanced, because they have to be right?
