---video at link---
Rep. Marsha Blackburn and MSNBC host Thomas Roberts traded barbs in an on-air spat over Obamacare, with the Tennessee Republican calling the TV hosts line of questioning incredibly inappropriate.
Congresswoman, let me ask you though, when it comes to Obamacare: Do you hate Obamacare more than you love your country? Roberts asked Blackburn on Tuesday during his MSNBC show.
I think that comments like that that you are making are just incredibly inappropriate, Blackburn responded.
The argument continued for several minutes without either Roberts or Blackburn giving any ground.
You dont think its incredibly inappropriate to shut down our government? Roberts said. You took the government hostage through the shutdown and all the American people, youre walking them to a cliff, the economy, and youre going to push them over one by one based on the fact that you dont like the ACA.

(20,899 posts)they love America, much more than they love our Constitution and its obligation therein (Preamble) to promote the general welfare, much more than they love to follow their sworn oaths of office to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States: simply put, again immho, the ideology and agenda Rep. Masha Blackburn and her ilk promote are: foreign and inimical to practically every one of our founding principles; unpatriotic; un-American, and yes, blasphemous, since they, almost to a person, spout their love for Jesus almost continuously. Betcha' Thomas Roberts had a hard time not blurting out what he really thinks of Rep. Masha Blackburn el al in their seemingly seditious assault on our Constitution. Go Masha go, win another one for the saintly Gipper.

How in the hell can "love" or "hate" be measured? It's obviously a loaded question and bad journalism.
