Is Rachel Maddow really that scary? I set my Google updates to let me know when there is an interesting Maddow story in the news, and more often than not, there is some conservative site all riled up about something she's said. The funny thing is, the Maddow they describe (Madcow, invariably) bears little resemblance to the one I watch on my teevee machine. Usually, what they have to say is so ridiculous (she's the flip-side to Ann Coulter!) it isn't even worth shooting down. But lately, conservatives are using things she hasn't even said or done to scare their conservative donors into sending them money. And Rachel wants a piece of the action!

It's amazing the amount of bile that the RWNJs send Rachel's way, isn't it? She must be hitting the right (no pun intended!) nerves! Glad she's taking it in stride. And who knows? Maybe she'll get to make a little money on the deal! Great post.
ReplyDeleteThe weird part is, the bile they send her way is usually so overblown, and misses the point so badly. I've read descriptions of her that make no rational sense, from "stupid" to "shrill" to "bombthrower." None of that makes any sense, if they've actually watched her show.
ReplyDeleteAnd there's a sort of Godwin's Law regarding right-wing stories about Rachel: eventually (usually quickly), they will take extremely lame pot-shots at her appearance and/or sexuality.
