Nobody’s on fire!
rachel’s on fire!!!
msnbc needs to give the 8pm slot to o’donnell
Haha looks like things are back to normal.with rachel and lawrence crushing hannity and greta in the key demo..just a few days ago you righties were saying that about and greta .get use to hannity and greta being beatin every weeknight
Quit dreaming. Foxnews wins overall…..that’s the key demo!!!!
Wait till the G.O.P..ruins the country by not agreeing to a deal.ratings will skyrocket for msnbc
Does anyone know what language Al Sharpton is speaking ? Thanks.
The Republican party has basically blew up. Tea Party vs Establishment vs Libertarians. vs Religious right. Yesterday, when John Boehner put a Republican bill up to vote, he didn’t even have his own Republican members to vote for it! Lmao I have never seen this in my whole life. Wow, I thought the Republicans filibustering their own bill was bad. Nope! This takes THEE cake! The Republican party is now SO FAR from the mainstream its now out there for everyone to see but this was Embarrassing for John Boehner! Whoa! as an independent it’s sad for me to see a Republican party spin so out of control. This infighting going on is bad for our country. This country needs a strong GOP willing to negotiate like back in the Clinton years. Wth is goin on over there on the right?
Hannity lost to Rachel by 33,000 in the demo but won the total by 631,000 Greta lost the demo to Lawrence by 4,000 ( what the hell are 1966 and James talking about) and won the total by 422,000. Now don’t tell me that if those numbers were switch that you liberals would say Hannity crushed Rachel and Greta crushed Lawrence. So shut up and deal with it NOBODY CRUSHED ANYBODY
beedavisjr….really how many votes did Obama get on his budget! ZERO
MSNBC wins in prime time. That’s when people have time to sit down and watch TV. This country is going more and more to the center and not right anymore. Only the South, who are stuck in 1860, are extremely right. That’s the main reason they hate Obama. He’s black. Oh and apparently he is Muslim and not a citizen still. Embarrassing.
@Ben
Demo is all that matters. Rachel and Lawrence won. Get over it.

Obama budget defeated 99-0 in Senate – Washington Times
Joe,
…and Bush knew about 9/11. There are plenty of nuts on both sides
@Bsotgnw I’ll cite your own Washington Post WITH LINKS
don’t shoot the messenger. oh & the 99-0 budget plan isn’t what you think smh. you need to do more research.

Rave on, brother. You are so right. And, I live in the South!
And the righty said it AAAALL back to normal…… Lawrence and Rachel kicked Greta & Hannty’s a$$es. The regular chattering righty must of saw the numbers and crawled back into their holes.
NRA blaming Hollywood……..”if only the teachers had guns”
DUH!!!!
Ft Hood was a military base
Columbine had armed security
Virginia Tech had their own police force
I agree Hollywood on many levels are out of control with the violence and death shown every moment on almost every channel. Videos games are even worse. BUT! No one needs a military style weapon to slaughter people and fill them with rounds of bullets. The NRA needs to be condemned and dismantled for their mainly Republican involvement and laying an easier path for thousands to be slaughtered by gun violence.
The NRA has blood other hands.
On their hands*
Fox is losing its grip on high ratings and Boehner has lost his grip on the GOP (due to uncontrollable t-bag right wingers). The right wingers are in in bed with Norquist and will not cut millionaires/billionaires taxes…But they want to raise middle class taxes, eliminate child tax credits, unemployment payments, reduce Medicare and Social Serurity payments, etc. The t-bag controlled GOP is the group Romney was talking to in his infamous country club speech. The American People know that Obama has their interests in mind and the GOP has billionaires’ interests in mind. This will hurt the GOP in 2014. Hopefully, the moderate Repubs can work with Boehner and Obama to stop the fiscal cliff. The bags will be of no help whatever…..
Ben,
Why do you people(fox viewers) continue to believe just because you win overall viewership means everything? It doesn’t. CBS wins total viewership on most of it’s shows that cable & other networks only would Dream to have consistently!! & still cancel shows left & right. Why you ask? Show cost may be some of the reason, but! everyone knows, it’s because of DEMO!!!! What’s good all of those viewers if those viewers ain’t buying?!! Advertising is EVERYTHING in the age of DVR. Ask MTV, VH1, TLC, Bravo(you get the point) how Demo is everything, not total viewership.
