        Didn't MMFA just post a video criticizing Beck for making fun of Pelosi's face?

            True, it just makes him like Beck according to MMFA. But, yeah, he deserves all those thumbs ups for making fun of a woman's looks and I deserve all my thumbs down for calling him on it.

      And where are their staunch defenders here @ MMFA like RightOn and T-Bone? You all agree that this is okie-dokie?

      Lying = populist, is that it?

      I'm sure everyone at Fox News has the best of HealthCare.
      I doubt any of them have ever known the Pain of Welfare.
      No one at Fox News has ever found out they had Cancer & Oh, you ain't got no insurance.
      You got no doctor, you're sitting in the emergency room chair and you have no influence.

      Speak truth to power.

      I unfortunately watched Hannity's circus show earlier, and he tried to pull the same thing as Van Susteren.

      These Faux New clowns use deceptive video, cropped clips and have no shame. They don't know what journalism integrity is but I digress because they are not journalists.

      BTW: How many times is Hannity going to whine and sneer while calling the President "the anointed one". Does he not realize how immature he sounds?

        Hannity created that word and keeps trying to get it into the mainstream. And when he calls Obama the messiah, the Christian-Right or those great Americans should correct him.

        But once a sissyboy, always a sissyboy.

        Dick Santorum....he thinks he is back.

      Yet another example of Faux "News" taking clips and editing them to make it look like Democratic hypocrisy on the use of reconciliation, which is not considered the "nuclear option" as Maddow pointed out. They know damn well what those clips were referring to, i.e. the repub attempt to get rid of the filibuster yet Van Sustren lies through her teeth when reporting otherwise.

      And then they bring on that former senator, who also knows damn well what the clips were referring to, and possibly through a "ruffiecolada", have gotten him to agree with and repeat those lies!

      Greta you are a liar. The nuclear option is NOT reconciliation. You either are too stupid to know this, or you choose to mislead the public. Either way, you are a disgrace.

      Roger Ailes MEMO to Fox Employees:

      Use the word "nuclear" instead of reconciliation. (If you want to keep your job)

      haha this is about the actual nuclear option and not opposing reconciliation. This is the problem with allowing the delusional opposition party to frame the debate ONCE AGAIN for the 100th time during this debate. Almost every single time, the construct has been built around a ridiculous lie.

      I have to say Mr santorum is such a scumbag. Not for this interview, I am just repulsed by this guy.

      Tax cuts on the rich are not wildly popular. Tax cuts that are not payed for and is the single largest contributor to the deficit for the next decade should not be wildly popular - where were the teabag morons then? How about a big cut on medicare in the only legislation bush ever passed to address the budget - it was 40 billion cut off the almost 1 trillion dollar deficit. Yeaa, im sure that bill was real popular. And its not like these bills were dramatically smaller than healthcare reform - the 2001 tax cuts were around 700 billion compared to the reform bill which is likely going to be 800 or 900 billion dollars. Combine the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts on the rich and that is likely about the exact amount of money that real insurance reform would cost.

      i agree with santorum on one thing though - if the dems fail to enact real insurance reform they have no one to blame but themselves as they have continued to show a cowardess and a spinelessness throughout this debate that runs in deep contrast to the GOP's bold and often ludicrous lies.
