Oh, never mind. We're not allowed to discuss why so many Southerners are hard-core Tea Baggers.

Unless they deserve it. Amirite?

You should edit that shit out of your post before people think you're some kind of asshole.

ROFLMAO, he kicked her ASS!

I loved the part about "pushing Americans off the cliff one by one, because YOU don't like Obamacare?"

She FREAKED out.

Was toooo funny!!

He his smart, witty and a just down right out handsome guy. Sadly he is married. That's ok I am too so it would have never worked. But he is one of my favorite journalist.

All she ever does is parrot the latest right-wing talking points, and Thomas Roberts wouldn't let her get away with it today, to his great credit.

that he was ready for her, had her own words handy to confront her with. She kept defending herself with logic like 'those are my words but that's not what I said'.

Also loved it that she got all huffy when he turned the favorite teabagger phrasing on her: Why do you hate Obamacare more than you love America? Her umbrage was theatrically laughable.

Well done, Mr. Roberts. Well done.

job on Marsha this morning (whom I hate) and put her into a fake outrage.

I wish MSNBC would give him a night time gig or I'd love to see/hear him rather than a disgusting prison adventure. I hate having to look for something to watch on the weekend.

I didn't know who either of them was but I had to admire the way he just talked right over her attempts to talk over him. He wasn't taking any shit from her and as the interview progressed you could see her level of frustration increase as she found herself unable to inject any of her preprogrammed talking points into the discussion.

This interview should be required watching for the other NBC "journalists" who think their only job is to point out that "both sides are equally guilty". Talkin to you Chuck Todd. Andrea Mitchell. David Fuckin Gregory.
