Rachael Madcow is Slanderous Bitch

[Synthaholic]

The connection she tried to draw in this case was so wrong that even PolitiFact had to label it Mostly False. If a Republican had said something similar they wouldn't have been given the benefit of a "Mostly". Did she ever take MSNBC's parent company to task for doing the same thing she accused the Kochs of?

politifact said the line between the corporation and the Koch's wasn't absolutely clear.

personally, I thought that was bogus.

You folks are missing a key critical point.. CATO is in no way a "CONSERVATIVE" think tank.
It is the Foremost Libertarian think tank.. And as SUCH would be very dubious of onerous drug testing laws. Ain't no amount of money that the Kochs or ANYONE else gave to Cato that would make them into drug-busting, abortion opposing advocates.

And a lot of the Koch stated VIEWS -- including their tacit support of the Tea Party are along LIBERTARIAN LINES of ideology --- not Republican politics...

So leave us the hell OUT of this dust-up.. Even if a Koch is on the board of CATO....

Ignorant morons will be ignorant morons...

The Cato Institute is an American libertarian think tank headquartered in Washington, D.C. It was founded as the Charles Koch Foundation in 1974 by Ed Crane, Murray Rothbard, and Charles Koch,

This "ignorant moron" has been a contributing member of CATO for over a decade. I'm WELL aware of the founding. Doesn't matter a whit that the Kochs joined Libertarian forces to create the joint. There are only LIBERTARIAN principles involved and the Koch don't have enough money to twist our minds and principles.. There's a war for board seats currently at Cato and you'll find this statement very interesting..

Koch brothers vs. Cato: Cato Chairman Bob Levy refutes Charles Koch?s statement - Think Tanked - The Washington Post

Today, Cato Institute Chairman Bob Levy responded to Koch’s statement point-by-point, characterizing it as doing “nothing to address the genuine concerns expressed by their friends and ours that the action the Kochs have taken will pointlessly and grievously injure the movement for individual liberty that they have previously done so much to advance.”

The full Levy response below the jump:

Original donor intent is one factor to be recognized. But over the past 35 years, the Kochs have provided roughly nine percent of the Institute’s cumulative budget. More recently, it’s been four percent. Currently, it’s zero percent. The Cato directors replaced by Koch nominees have contributed nearly as much as Charles and David Koch and their allied foundations combined. Yet Charles Koch insists that the original donor’s intent is all that matters. What about the intent of the donors who now fund 100 percent of Cato’s operations?

Point is -- If CATO was implicated by Maddow on a position in regards to CONSUMER CHOICE on health insurance -- you can be certain that they did not take a CONSERVATIVE position on the topic. And invoking the KOCH relationship to CATO is as mindless and useless as invoking the KOCH bros. curse on their funding of NOVA on PBS, the Wing they built on the Kennedy Center, or the dozens of high tech medical centers with their names on them.. It's a cop-out used by the left when they have no arguments on the subject at hand.. A boogie man approach to deflecting from facts and debate..

CATO can't be bought. Libertarian principles can't be bought. And we'd rather SCUTTLE CATO entirely --- than hand it over to folks who want it as a trophy or a weapon... Something that party animals like yourself --- would never understand.. As Levy goes on to say in his statement..

But actions speak louder than words. The Kochs’ takeover attempt has included packing Cato’s board of directors with individuals, almost all of whom are financially entangled with the Kochs and have no history of libertarian advocacy.

Maddow should KNOW better than to try to connects dots between Giraffes and Hippos..

Her ratings are better than Megyn Kelly's in the demographic that advertisers care about.

They do not care about angry old White people who have been glued to FOXNEWS all day long, receiving their daily hate brainwashing.

Would you care to rethink or research that?

TVNewser - And Now the News...About TV News

No, because ratings change daily. I'm sure you can find a day where Kelly has more, just as I can find a day where Maddow has more.

The post that I was refuting was claiming Maddow had terrible ratings. She does not. She is almost always over 1 million viewers.

What a load of bullshit, weasel boy. You sound like you've gone to the JoeB school of just make stuff up that supports the way you'd like things to be. Your fellow low infos buy it but they're already members of the choir.

You wrote a very simple declarative statement:

"Her ratings are better than Megyn Kelly's in the demographic that advertisers care about." Period. No quantifying words or phrases to indicate Kelly might actually come out ahead now and then. Ritchie's the nightly king of the demo according to your words.

...How Democrats talk about the Tea Party is as bad as how the Tea Party talks about Democrats.

Two sides of the same coin....

Umm, no.

The Teabaggers are a radical fringe group whose policies are proven failures. The left points out the dangers. The Teabaggers open their faces and make noise. They waste tax dollars investigating phony "scandals." They're a liability even to the republicans.

It's like comparing apples to plutonium.

Yes, very radical, low taxes, that is just a radical idea.

Free to educate my child as I wish, a very radical idea.

Stopping terrorism, that is extreme.

Wishing to be left alone, radical yes.

Freedom is a radical idea to the Democrats and the Old People, I guess so, they need the young to work as slaves to pay for the excesses, to pay for the failed policies, to grow the government beyond our means until the USA just collapses.

TeaBaggers, that is a made up term, never was such a term until the Democrats made it up to denigrate people.

Its simple, pay google to for the rights to the word teabagger and teaparty, use the urbandictionary.com to define the word. Google is all in, they are liberals.

So when we look up what Grandma means, we are disgusted to learn that Grandma is calling us, "Men who drop their scrotum into the mouth of another", That is how Grandma wishes to define those she obviously hates. Of course the urban dictionary changed the definition a bit when the homosexuals started screaming that it was derogatory to themselves. But facts remain, some people are bigots.

Reminds me of Democrats in the South who wore white sheets and hung the "*******". Murdered them. So now instead of referring to the tea party, a slur such as "******" is concocted, in this case its "TeaBagger".

Human Nature repeats itself, its not that those of the KKK were a special bred, seems each Era will have a group of people are a real threat and danger.

Ugly fucking people are easy to see, just let them speak freely.

Simple to find them, they are defined by the language they use.

Maddow is the man!

[Truthmatters]

[Mertex]
