Very nice smackdown.

[DeepBlueC]

1. God, that was fun, wasn't it?

:rofl:

[loudsue]

20. Not so much. When they start shouting & interrupting I have to turn it off.

It sounds like there's a fox in the hen house everytime they do that. Nobody can get anything from it. What kind of show is that supposed to be? What mentality does that appeal to? Since you can't even understand what they're saying, it can only appeal to Sarah Palin's fan club. They don't want facts, they just want something to stir their emotions so they can be sure they're not totally without feeling.

[DeepBlueC]

38. it wasn't the putdown of Pat I enjoyed

It was the plainly-spoken truths O'Donnell set out about the Republican Party.

[szatmar666]

42. LOL! GOP= the party of trickle down ignorance!

Funniest and sadly truest line ever!

[quidam56]

24. Still think Rachel Maddow handles Uncle Pat the best !

26. And I Think I'm Underqualified to Run for Office?

[Drunken Irishman]

2. Wait, Buchanan calls himself a Catholic and he doesn't believe in evolution?

WTF?

[glinda]

10. He is part of the Catholics who have been "Evangelized".

[JDPriestly]

36. Buchanan is neither Catholic nor evangelical. He's just phony,

and that clip proves it. He was just playing a role.

Now, please understand, he is probably the first and primary victim of his fraud, but the way he wavered, the way he avoided answering the simple question "Do you believe in evolution?" outright with a simple yes or no showed that he is equivocating.

Pat Buchanan does believe in evolution. Millions of people who believe in evolution, including me, believe that God created heaven and earth -- through evolution. We read the Bible for what it is, the imperfect telling of a wonderful story of God's guiding mankind through history.

No matter what character he plays in public, Pat Buchanan is not a man who reads the Bible line by line on a daily basis and believes to the depth of his soul that every word is the "true" word of God. Pat Buchanan is better educated and more rational than that.

So why does Pat Buchanan lie to viewers on national TV? Why doesn't he want to admit that he views evolution and reads the Bible rationally. It's simple. Because he knows that if he admitted the truth, he would offend the audience of uneducated fools who keep him in bread and butter.

Pat Buchanan is not just obnoxious. He is not just a fool. He is a phony.

[NRaleighLiberal]

3. That is truly frightening. To see ignorance in sharp relief. Man oh man...

[bjobotts]

4. Of course she's coming back,Republicans can't let ignorance go unrewarded

[bjobotts]

5. They just have to get some polish to buff this turd to an acceptable racist shine

[bjobotts]

6. Half his party wants a president you can go bowling and hunting with for Jesus

[bjobotts]

7. The hate and fear of right wing pundits cultivated a base of ignorant fanatics

[bjobotts]

9. Now they are just looking for 'heroes' to lead them to profits. America's sickos

[skooooo]

8. Way to go O'Donnell!!!

[jhrobbins]

12. You rock, Lawrence (Laurence?)! Also, I used to like Mika, but she

has gotten on the Scarborough bandwagon of late and she is as disagreeable as he is.

Seriously though, this points out the serious condition that the Republican party is in these days and by a certain count then-a significant percentage of America. That Pat Buchanan can sit there and say that he doesn't believe in evolution is frightening - that a big chunk of America believes this is staggering. No wonder we are falling fast on the world's educational stage. And what is especially bothersome is that they revel in their ignorance. That Sarah Palin believes that man and dinosaurs were cohabitants of the world is absurd. This would be a good thing for the Democratic party if so many people didn't seem to go along with it. I cannot decide if men, educated men like Pat Buchanan really believe this or if they have just drunk the Kool-aid

[krkaufman]

18. I don't know what Mika's deal is but she's been a staunch defender of Palin ...

... from almost the day she was announced.

[Native]

32. Did you notice her mimicking one of Palin's trademark facial expressions?

. . .the one where she juts out her lower jaw and tightens her bottom lip. Makes me want to puke.

[BuelahWitch]

27. He "believes" it because it lines his pockets

Fanning the flames of ignorance makes him big bucks. It's shameful.

[ksimons]

11. Pat, the minute Palin was announced, was against her until he was 're-educated'

On morning joe, they discussed it, and he was totally against a Palin choice for V.P.

Oh how a re-education can make a difference.

[Zombie2]

13. It kills me....

The way they're laughing off O'Donnell!? SHAME ON THEM!

Buchanan's the joke!

[4lbs]

14. Buchanan and Joe the Scar are the resident GOPpy Gripers on MSNBC.

n/t

[PatSeg]

15. That show usually is so boring

but that segment was a real treat! O'Donnell was amazing.

[RollWithIt]

16. Notice that whenever Buchanon knows he's beat he delays and then tells unrelated jokes...

He's been doing that for months.

[krkaufman]

17. What's sad is that Mika appeared to be taking sides against O'Donnell.

Great performance by Lawrence. Kudos.

[Bippity Boo]

19. that moderator was horrible...

...but I was glad he cornered Pat into venting his wacko far-right views (or pretend views for political reasons) on evolution

[Hamlette]

21. too bad Mika drank the kool aid on Palin. She can't be rational about it

she thinks every bad thing they say about Palin is a lie and Palin is a political genius. I never thought she was balance for the show (Joe Scarb) but she has progressively gotten crazier as the weeks go by. On Palin she is out right nuts.

Mika thinks Palin was unfairly treated because of her gender but what happens when you defend an idiot like Palin is that you, play into sexism. People think "Palin is an idiot and women support her even though she is an idiot so maybe all women are idiots."

Mika is MAKING IT WORSE AND PISSING ME OFF.


But Larry was a breath of fresh air. I wish someone would get the numbers right.



McCain NEVER went up 15 points. At most he went up about 7.

Buchanan claims it was the financial crisis that caused the GOP ticket to crater, not Palin but the financial crisis started September 15. By then McCain had lost all that he gained after the convention and it was the Charlie Gibson interview, plus the realization that Palin was a big fat liar (bridge to knowhere,) the media calling out McCain on his lies in the sex education ad which was the first time in history McCain had ever been called on his BS so it was a shocker, McCain went on the View and was called out on his lies and lied some more and McCain was called on saying Obama was rude for the lipstick on a pig comment. THAT is what happened before the financial crisis when his numbers really were going down. He'd basically back to where he started pre Palin when Lehman bros went belly up which was Sept 15, the date and the reason Pat thinks McCain lost the race. From there on, how can you possibly say it wasn't Palin? Coric, $200K wardrobe, calling us not "real Americans" etc, etc, etc.

It was a convention bounce, happens every time. I think the crash was more dramatic than usual because of Palin and McCain's handling of the financial crisis, not the crisis itself.

Buchanan should go the way of Kristol. Discredited forever.

[susu369]

28. Well, vodka mixed with Kool Aid

makes it even worse for Mika.

:evilgrin:

[Hamlette]

37. yes. She's really become a joke.

did you see her recently when she commented with a guest about how she, Mika, had done her hair up like Palin. Like she wanted to emulate Palin? To look just like her?

I don't watch Scarborough (would make me too mad) so I've only really seen her lately, when I was so anxious for news about the election this last week I'd watch anyone. So it came as quite a shock to see the daughter of such a dignified and smart man make a complete ditz of herself over another woman.

Maybe she really does just have a crush on Palin, not that there's anything wrong with it.

I can only hope that one day she'll see Palin for what she is and then someone will make her watch her attempts to defend Palin over and over again.

Yes. It's true. I have a very mean, sadistic streak. I fight it but with ppl like Mika and usually lose.

Dang.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

41. IMHO, I don't think Mika drank the kool aid, I think her puppet masters

have her shilling for the Wasilla hillbilly.

[Catsbrains]

22. Why does Mika say Palin was "dropped" into the race...she

wanted to be the vp candidate...no one forced her!!!!!

[Joe Bacon]

23. O'Donnell is correct when he says Republicans worship STUPIDITY!

The Republic party embraces STUPIDITY in every facet.

STUPIDITY that embraces a book of fractured fairy tales
STUPIDITY that worships wealth
STUPIDITY that embraces selfishness
STUPIDITY that gets people to vote against their own self interest.

All the Republic Party has left is STUPIDITY!

[pedo]

25. she was not "dropped" into the running mate position

she chose to be in it. she was in over her head, she was not even close to being qualified, and yet she accepted it. it was irresponsible of her, and she deserves to be "clobbered" for it.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

29. I know personally of Republicans that voted Democratic

because they realized Palin was an ignoramus and didn't want her anywhere near the White House.

[whistle]

30. "She is coming back Pat" what did that last comment from the blond mean?

[Swede Atlanta]

31. Go Lawrence!!!!

[newmac]

33. Now that science is back; Evolution is cool again

[hisownpetard]

34. Lawrence O'Donnell RULES! He really told it like it is, filled with facts. Mika, on the other hand

(who I've never seen before) is an unbelievably ignorant woman - a real idiot!
ANd she sounds like she's in love with Palin.

Ugh.

[fascisthunter]

35. There Can Be No Intellectual Debate with Those who Believe in Fairytales

Evolution is real and provable... what Pat and Palin believe is fiction and goofey. They have no place in our government.

[bulloney]

39. When Buchanan asked O'Donnell to explain the spike in the McCain's popularity

immediately after Palin was announced as the VP candidate, he should have said it was becuase of her acceptance speech. She was throwing red meat to a friendly captive audience with all of her cutesy rhetoric. The reason she remains popular with some factions of the Republican party is beause these people are primarily men looking at her as a sex kitten.

I don't know how you can see how she handled herself in the debate, interviews and rallies and not think she was in way over her head when she was on the ticket.

If Biden didn't know Africa was a continent; if Biden couldn't name the countries in the NAFTA agreement; if Biden had two high school dropouts for kids, one of which was pregnant out of wedlock, Buchanan and the other conservative pundits would have blasted it over the airwaves 25/8, declared the presidential race over and McCain the winner.

I have to question Buchanan's intelligence if he can still defend Palin after all of this.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

40. O'Donnell to Buchanan....you come from a party that celebrates ignorance.

Now, ain't that the truth!!!!!!!

:rofl:

[JI7]

43. Pat Buchanan must have been drunk, McCain never led by 15
