“I in no way doubt that you are a Rachel Maddow fan. However, I do believe that your disappointment stems from the fact that this was not a "gotcha" piece, Dr. Maddow peppering Rick Berman with rapid-fire questions, not allowing him to avoid giving a direct answer the same way Chris Matthews or Dylan Ratigan would. But that is not Rachel Maddow's style. The facts are on her side and she knows that we are smart enough to see through Berman's diversionary tactics. Every time Mr. Berman slithered his way out of answering the question posed to him, you recognized it. When Rachel brought up the fact that one of Berman's sources in an attack on a Harvard study on obesity is not a doctor, whose "degree" Berman used to try and legitimize the man as a source is in fact in music, we could all see Berman avoid admitting that fact. She did more than expose him as the force behind these deceptive websites, by allowing us to see the way Berman twists himself in knots to avoid acknowledging the facts presented, Dr. Maddow gave us direct insight into Rick Berman's deceptive nature, and allowing us to see it for ourselves is much more effective than having her simply make the accusation.”

“Yes, yes, yes”

“WE can stop talking about her, but the notion that the GOP considers her a front-runner for national office makes it hard to turn our heads away from this authentic train wreck!”

“I think she is one of the least authentic politicians out there. she lays on the "authenticity" like a costume. she is constantly referential to her own authenticity. I think she cranks up the accent and puts on the fishing and hunting gear to squeeze the last drop of authenticity she can. People who constantly make a point of how authentic they are, arent.”

“Me too. Thank you people of VT. from California.”

“How sad. Imagine if the candidate had had that level of knowledge and discourse. This could have been a watershed moment in american politics for women - instead of what it turned into.”
