Fox, MSNBC and CNN are offended by her honesty and integrity.

[Mat8675]

She appears on MSNBC on a regular basis...that's where I know her from. I had no idea she was a lesbian, but she has always been my favorite 'guest in the box'.....especially on Race for the White House where she puts Pat in his place on a regular basis!

Rachel is not a reporter she is a left leaning analyst. She is also a dike. But she deserves props, the chick if freakin' brilliant. Her brain has a sixth gear those other panelist don't have. When she goes into overdrive, she mops the floor with her cohosts. Joe got so frustrated he walked off the set. She needs the next grade of right leaning pundits, someone like Krauthammer maybe. For now, she's a racehorse running with street mongrels.

John Gibson

Half rat half man.

Yummy

Most Huff-Patrons are favorable to Keith Olberman & his show -myself included - but let's back off on the flowery praise of his lackeys, people. Ok? There's no such thing as brilliance by association, so next time you see Rachael, or any of the other guest speakers on his show, open your freakin ears and try to find a single inteligent insight they bring to Countdown. I'm sick and tired of seeing all these "yes men" (Rachael obviously included) who bring nothing to the plate other than a compulsatory verbal hand job for Keith. Pathetic.

Oh yeah, and being a dyke doesn't make a chick any smarter than a normal person, either.... so be careful climbing down from that high horse. You don't wanna break a nail.

That's Dr.Maddow to you. She has a PhD. Of course you people frown on education. How sad.

[FritzKojack]

...and Dr. Fritz to you and your sad assuming ways, Margo. Tsk tsk.

-Fritz

[LorettaSingbiel]

"That's Dr.Maddow to you. She has a PhD. Of course you people frown on education. How sad."

They are pissed off they can't keep gays in the closet. Used to be that ONLY closeted gays were worthy of gainful employment. What's this world coming to!

But the ANTI-gay crowd CAN continue to cling to their HOMOPHOBIC HOLY HURRAH of denying gays their EQUAL RIGHTS to all benefits of "marriage".

And they'd be VICIOUSLY & VIGOROUSLY "protecting the sanctity of marriage" from the gays...if they didn't have Rev. Wright to "protect" us from.

OBAMA '08!
HOPE & CHANGE!

Stay safe, healthy and happy,
Love, Loretta

Rachel Maddow's best work isn't what she does on MSNBC - her brilliance really shows on her Air America show (XM Radio channel 167 - 5pm Mountain Time).

[Mike169]

I thought John Gibson was a lesbian!

[H.L. Mencken]

no like Eddie izzard just a trans sexual-executive transsexual I will have you know!

[NewtC]

Eewww, who'd want him? Certainly not the lesbians!

[LeBelAge]

The reason conservatives poke fun of gays and lesbians is because they can't get anyone to sleep with them unless payment is involved. Its pure jealous.

I see the Wrong Wingers continue to play their old and tired Red Baiting shtick, in addition to their gay baiting shtick. You can't teach an old elephant new tricks, which is why the Republican Party is going the way of the dodo bird.

The Righties are stuck in a 1950s dream world that never truly existed. Its evident in their bias rhetoric. The Right is not in touch with the reality of 21st century America.

Communism has long been dead. Gay couples and families are either living next door or being broad cast into America's living rooms every day as normal human beings.

[FritzKojack]

I am offended by Rachael every time I see her on tv. How come she doesn't wear a tie, like the rest of the gents? Who does she think she is, Burt Reynolds?

-Fritz

[Bozwellian]

LOL, yeah FRITZ, can so totally imagine how offended you might be...Intelligence displayed by another needs to be derided at all costs for sure !!! Hard to talkl if a goperite riteous tite-ritey or perhaps a clintonian camper--AAlways here how OTHERS get so "personal and nasty and derogatory" whines about but the nastiest comments , implied or outright seem to be MOST prevelent from those two grouping , can but guess just too intimadated on too many levels that the need to be so is to help ignor ones own deficiencies. Whichever, will just those wallow and whine on and be seen for what they truly represent themselves to actually "be".

[FritzKojack]

Sorry to see the meds aren't working, Boz. But you hang in there, Tiger. You're freakin special!

-Fritz

[DrDemon]

Simply PUERILE!

[Dansden]

Rachel Maddow DESERVES HER OWN SHOW.....

Put her up against Faux Fake News witrh John 'Doughboy' Gibson and watch whose stock rises in the points for integrity, intelligence and interest from the American public......Slam dunk for Maddow;
Toilet Flush for Doughboy!

[gomonkeygo]

Mmmmm, pasty-skinned, over-the-hill, flabby, shark-faced sub-intelligent white heteros! Yummy!

[shadow322]

Gibson - you're intelligence is showing again - Not!

[spotchester]

I'd rather be a lesbian than have John Gibson's ridiculous hair.

[whatsmyname]

Amen to THAT spotchester.........Maddow, is honesty, OBJECTIVELY brilliant, charming and if Networks weren't such a breeding ground for discrimination, fear mongering and intimidation by management -along with sexist and biased tactics one of them would secure their future by getting her under a A-Rod, type contract: She's THAT GOOD And she is an Investment. She reminds me of the Candy Crowley, when she started out: Can you say fearless & savvy? Wow! POST SCRIPT: There's something very dishonest and odd about a male human with dyed hair?

[ceesaw]

I DO AGREE WITH YOU. Rachel is an extremely intelligent reporter. Her reporting is unbiased.Infact , she is one of the few decent reporters left. A lot of them should be brought up for some mental evaluation.They are just not suited for the job. Hateful, evil people.To name a few:Joe Scarbourgh,Wolf BLITZER, People on Fox,Lou DOBBS,George Step;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;,,As for Pat Buchanan,he has no place on this earth.Those are some of the people that perpertuate the ills of this society under the guise of reporting. I am serious, these people do not have the proper mindset for the job.

[DIAGER]

Lesbian or no, Rachel is one of the best political minds speaking on the air waves. If I see her on the panel, I know I'll get unbiased, well thought out opinions, unlike the blowhards, who too often dominate these shows.

I fricking love her! And couldn't give a tinker's damn if she was a Martian.

[ctbutte]

Mr. Maddow is a kook. The fact that Olby has her nightly is prrof that.

[radiclib]

Gibson is a hack. Not even good enough to stay on Fox TV? Yeesh. Career on the skids. So long, crumb bum.

[whatsmyname]

ctbutte? ctbutte? You are oops, I just stepped in you, walking through the park.....If her brothers get ahld of your sorry excuse of a body I would hope they'd give you the equivalent to a Blanket Party, but you wouldn't know what that even means; you're a hate-monger, liar and Clinton-based trash that suffers greatly by your own inadequacies. Now, that sounds like gentic deficiency but then so is the dye job John Gibson, with his bitch hairdo. And, don't call him an announcer or a host, hell he's NOT even a bouncer and wouldn't make a pimple on a all-nite dj's ass.

Gibson, good job as always.

Yeah, right. Say, how's that ``War on Christmas'' going?
