#3 Ripping The Rhetoric
with Chris Mathews

Wow, that was excellent.

Very important discussion to have.

Mentioned Bill Maher, too.

A very important discussion on language and the media. and how preempting the language can influence the discussion. and how buzzwords are used to intimidate and silence critics. Matthews is a smart guy.

Agreed.

We can no longer let the extreme righties frame the debate if we want real debate in this country.

hell, they framed the debate and lost it anyway...

that's exactly how dumb the republicans are.

That really was a great segment, and Matthews was dead on when he said these words are used to get people to shut up and go along with the policy.

He was also very nice to Rachel, and it's fantastic she is getting the recognition and respect in her expanded MSNBC Political Analyst role.
