Those who are surprised that JoyJuice finds nothing wrong with:
"The Republican Party needs to be executed as quickly as possible."
raise your hands.
Maddow never said that. It's a quote attributed to Mike Malloy. They are trying to play "guilty by association" on that one.
The quotes are accurate. To save TerranceL the trouble, I'd like to point out that the site that has the list of them is down at the moment. However, as soon as it's back up I'll provide the links. In the meantime, I'm sure that there are others here who have viewed the links and can vouch for them.
As far as I know, they haven't tried entrapment yet.Posted by aisey Day:

Yeah I am always impressed by their positive reporting of the Tea Party movement.
This shouldn't be a debate about the left and right. It should be about the sad state of the news business in America and how it's damaging your democracy.
I agree. How is it news if they* distort the facts?
*"they", meaning any dishonest news source, no matter who it is.
My point exactly!It isn't news, it's propaganda.
Which is why everyone should be very very careful where you get your sources of news from.
Actually I do find it wrong, but your assumption is that Maddow is agreeing with everything someone has said, rather then the context of the conversation they were having.Those who are surprised that JoyJuice finds nothing wrong with:

Again, wow, ....a smoking gun.I'm not making an assumption, I'm taking her by her word.
"I love your dark thoughts. We all love you for your dark thoughts."
The unedited tapes show the ACORN workers calling the police and the "pimp" not dressed as a pimp but rather in a suit and tie. Neither of those things appear in the edited version. Sorry the unedited tapes tell a different story that the edited version.
You seem to be operating under the delusion that creative editing can't be used to tell a very different story than what really happened.
You claim that Brown is untrustworthy, but it is the person who taped and editted the incidents that was arrested for tampering with the phones of a US Senator. It's obvious that who you find trustworthy is not based upon the actions of the people, but whether or not they believe the same things you do.
Why does anyone watch that show?The issue here is Fox News hosts manipulating information to mislead their audience. If you can provide an example of Maddow distorting the facts I would be glad to look at it but this is not a case of that.
» In Exposing ACORN ‘Lies,’ Maddow Leaves Truth On the Cutting Room Floor - Big JournalismMs. Maddow could write this off as a matter of semantics, but it goes deeper than semantics. Anyone who reads the full report from the Attorney Generals office will see that the way the videos were edited has no bearing on whether the AG office found evidence of any criminal behavior. The reason the ACORN employees were cleared of aiding and abetting criminal behavior was ultimately, that OKeefe and Giles were only pretending to commit crimes. You cant aid and abet criminal behavior if there is no actual criminal behavior. And the release of the unedited videos had nothing to do with that legal conclusion.
But, Rachel Maddow had a story to tell. And all of these things that she concealed from her audience contradicted her story. So she left it out and showed what she needed to show to convince her audience that ACORN had been wronged and OKeefe and Giles had deceived the world. I wonder how many people actually bought it?
What other quotes did I attribute to her? Where did I do so?
my bad. i mistook terrancel's list of this guys quotes as being attributed to rachel maddow.
so the big "hate speech" example for rachel is the "dark thoughts" quote? and she is being compared to the vitriol spewing from the right wing talking heads with this one?
you have to be kidding, people!!
I'm not aware of any right-wing vitriol that even comes close to that which Maddow loves to hear. From others on the left, yes. From the right, no.
we were discussing what she has said herself, and she isn't in the same ballpark as the right wing hate mongers.
