Obama has made a habit of finding ways to support his supporters monetarily (hello, Solyndra). Now, we have found out that the White House bought half a million in advertising on MSNBC. I hope all seven of MSNBC's viewers appreciate it. Click the link below to read my article about it all on Examiner.com.
White House uses taxpayer money to fund MSNBC

MSNBC Goes Nuts!
You might have missed MSNBC's reaction to Republican Scott Brown winning Ted Kennedy's former Senate seat on January 19, 2010. After all, who really watches MSNBC anyway? Just a few dozen folks like myself who enjoy checking in to see what the weird kids are up to.Up and down the MSNBC lineup, commentators and talk show hosts are finding it difficult to deal with the reality that Obama and his liberal socialist friends have already worn out their welcome with America, even in Massachusetts. Despite the fact that Democrats outnumber Republicans 3 to 1, the state just elected a GOP senator.
Rachel Maddow was visibly shocked when the results came in - video of the moment Brown won shows Maddow swallowing deeply and struggling to say the words. The next day she downplayed the impact of the election, choosing instead to point out that Democrats still had a large majority in the Senate, at least for now. Ed Schultz, host of "The Ed Show," struggled to put a positive spin on things. The best he could muster was a shot at one of Brown's statements on the "Today Show." The senator-elect told the program that the war on terror and health care reform would be his priorities to address. "Terror? Terror is your priority?" the host asked incredulously. "Aren't we safe?" Either Schultz fails to grasp how close we came to disaster with the underwear bomber or doesn't care much for the soldiers and civilians who were gunned down at Ft. Hood. At least under President Bush, terror plots were foiled by authorities. Now, under Obama, plots are foiled by pure chance, and taxpayers get to pay for attorneys for terrorists. Sports reporter turned pontificating pseudo-intellectual Keith Olbermann actually tried to claim the moral high ground by portraying Brown as some sort of sociopath.
I'm sure it was difficult for Olbermann to focus his moral relativity to certain particular stances, but he did manage to call Brown an "irresponsible, homophobic, racist, reactionary, ex-nude model, a teabagging supporter of violence against women and against politicians with whom he disagrees." Olbermann did later offer an apology, saying he forgot to include "sexist" to his list of insults. He then challenged anyone to prove him wrong. Of course, he's only right if you accept Olbermann's moral presuppositions, which come from his twisted liberal worldview. He also tries, with little effect, to tie Brown to an incident during which an attendee at a Brown campaign rally supposedly threatened violence against his opponent, Martha Coakley. Though the incident could not be proven, Brown refused to speculate or comment on the matter. Olbermann took that as advocating the violence.
It's been a common tactic for liberals fighting the rise of conservatives and libertarians in the Tea Party movement: portray them as violent radicals who are being quietly supported by their leaders. It's all a reach, but in Olbermann's "bizarro" world, it all makes perfect sense.
Enjoy the show as the ivory tower at MSNBC crumbles and their commentators have to answer to the common folk: they really are entertaining as their grip on reality slips away.
MSNBC's Rachel Maddow misses Chuck Norris' point
MSNBC commentator and full-time mean girl Rachel Maddow didn't make a
name for herself engaging in fair debate or giving the truth a chance.
Instead, Maddow sneers from behind her desk and passes judgment on all
who fail to meet her worldview requirements. Rather than engaging those
she disagrees with on an intellectual level, she marginalizes and
belittles them so that their arguments carry no weight.
Consider her recent treatment of Chuck Norris, action star turned political pundit. While Maddow cheers the election of stand-up comic turned Senator Al Franken, she mocks the viability of any opinion or statement Norris makes.
A December 2009 column by Norris addressed the recent passage of a health care bill that provides abortion coverage. He wonders what this world would be like if young pregnant girls of Jesus' time had easy, government-funded access to abortion. He wonders how many future leaders or people of worth would have had their lives snuffed out to avoid the judgment of a society that at the time persecuted or stoned unwed mothers to be.
Norris' exact words were: "What would have happened if Mother Mary had been covered by Obamacare? What if that young, poor and uninsured teenage woman had been provided the federal funds (via Obamacare) and facilities (via Planned Parenthood, etc.) to avoid the ridicule, ostracizing, persecution and possible stoning because of her out-of-wedlock pregnancy? Imagine all the great souls who could have been erased from history and the influence of mankind if their parents had been as progressive as Washington's wise men and women!"
Maddow, of course, was not interested in engaging Norris in a philosophical argument. Since she seems to have no respect for him, she disregarded his overall point and took one word out of context to make Norris and pro-lifers look like fools. She somehow rationalized that Norris' quote suggested that Christians wanted to stone unwed, pregnant mothers. "I look at the whole crux - the whole crux of his argument rests on the idea if only we still had stoning for abortion," she said.
For Maddow, arguing fairly or truthfully isn't the point, only being right is, by any means necessary. Her viewers (which now number in the dozens) don't want to see an even-handed debate. They want a target to direct their hate and frustrations on. Since President Bush isn't around, Chuck will do. This blind hatred for all things conservative even allows them to overlook Norris' obvious point: how many lives of consequence has abortion deprived the world?
Maddow ends her comments on Norris and pro-lifers by saying "It`s beautiful. If we didn't have them, we’d make it up." Too late, Maddow. You already do.
