O’Reilly’s repeat show’s ratings continue to beat out Ed’s primetime ratings and more daylight is showing in the ratings between Hannity’s and Maddow’s programs. This pattern will continue. Regarding last night’s show, Hannity made two serious mistakes: inviting Ellison to the show, and; not cutting short that segment. Hannity was right – his audience deserved more. If you read most publications, Ellison really did not serve his side very well. But, Elison did take a page out of BO’s playbook – don’t have a substantive discussion on the issues but attack the other side. Frankly,if I were a Democrat, I would be embarrassed with Ellison.

Just so the lefties dont miss the opportunity to watch it after all I posted it on page one and they might have a hard time trying to figure out how to go back there
so why dont you watch the video and see which one was unhinged.

@usa8888: Stop being an a-hole. When are YOU going to come up with actual, non-biased PROOF that half of Fox’s viewers are over 65? I should start counting the days like ABC did when American hostages were taken by Iran.
You’re busy calling every one else out, but wher’s YOUR proof? I guess you subscribe to the “If you can’t dazzle them with brilliance, then baffle them with b–ls–t.
I try to understand why it is rational that a hospital might have to pass an extraordinary level of costs onto those with the best health insurance (well, pass it on to them and their insurer) – paying off their student loans, covering the cost of underpaying medicare/medicaid patients, covering the cost of EMTALA patients, covering the cost of research, malpractice insurance, the high level of talent required to offer their service – and all of that rational thought goes out the window when I see someone talking about a $1.5 million bill.
That’s insane, unacceptable, unsustainable. I just can’t imagine how our economy survives such a drain without A.) Major intervention and reform or B.) allowing hordes of human beings to die of completely treatable illnesses, or live a very low quality of life with symptoms that can otherwise be managed. These kinds of bills and premium growth are way out of sync with inflation and wage growth in every other sector of the economy.
I actually have a compliment to pay to MSNBC. Thanks for your coverage of the Pope’s last message which aired between 5-6AM. You actually broadcast the Pope’s English language version without talking over it. In this rare case, I can’t praise the coverage of neither Fox nor CNN.
I still want to see proof H/C costs have gone down

*************************************************
I WAS a democrat, at one time, and if I were still a democrat, I promise I definitely would have been embarrassed by Ellison…I’m now an independent, and I’m still embarrassed that we have politicians like Ellison…
“Republicans in the Senate are trying to show low-information voters (usa000) that Obama really is in control of where these cuts hit. The high-information voters already know it. It’s probably gonna be a failed effort, but they’re still going to make the effort to have this understood.” -Rush
The right wingers are most famous for: choose one
1) the 47% country cliub comment by Robme
2) Sarah Palin’s de-witching by her minister
3) Rick Perry’s endorsement of creationism
4) the Trumper’s birther rant
5) Lian Ryan’s telling seniors he was not trying to eliminate Social Security and Medicare
5) the support of extremist La Pierre’s blood money campaign
I guess Cementhead lives in NY State because there actually IS a “Conservative” Party on the ballot. I don’t believe it has been much of a factor. It chose to endorse Cranky McCain and the Shaman-backed half-term Governor of Alaska in 2008. Sometimes, the same names appear under the rubric “Republican Party” and “Conservative Party” on NY ballots, so claiming to be registered in the Conservative Party is a dodge to hide any attachments to the Repubs.
ibsles is pushing the slimebaugh again. Nobdoy but extreme right wing uneducated people listen to the guy……
The cementhead interview was really good. I saw it on You Tube…..
iblses–I have a question for you: where does the right wing GOP come up with these right wing comedians who perform at the CPAC comedy convention???
Dingy Harry Unchained
Another dumbocrat that all Amercians shou; be embarrassed by.
RUSH: Do you want to hear some more madness? Audio sound bite number 23. Dingy Harry.
Today was a big day. Statuary Hall, Capitol Hill, they unveiled a statue of Rosa Parks. Snerdley, do you know who Rosa Parks is? For the low-information voter out, what was Rosa Parks known for? Right. She was in Alabama in the early sixties and she tried to get on a bus in Alabama and the driver said, “You gotta move to the back.” You had to give up your seat and move to the back because a white guy is getting on the bus now. She refused to give up her seat, and she has become a hero. From that moment on, she was a heroin for the rest of her life and remains so. And today they had a statue unveiled that was erected in her honor at Statuary Hall in the Capitol.
Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=4kNOCSgOFuc
RUSH: Do you know why they did the Rosa Parks statue dedication today? Do you know what else is going on today in Washington? No, it’s not before the sequester. It’s because the Supreme Court is discussing the Voting Rights Act in the South today. You know, this is another thing. I’m not a high-information guy on everything. There are certain things I am low information on. I do not understand this.
This Voting Rights Act goes back to 1964. I can’t believe that we still haven’t fixed the problems with voting that we had back in 1964, and I don’t believe that we haven’t. I think what we have is a bunch of muckraking, filing lawsuits over it. We’re not preventing anybody from voting. What did I read the other day, some woman in Chicago voted for Obama six times? The Voting Rights Act? The idea that there are still those powerful Democrats with dogs and water hoses keeping African-Americans from voting?
Who believes this anymore?
ibsles–Slimebaugh was one of the reasons the right wing was so soundly defeated last election…….
Slimebaugh is an insult to thinking people….
Seriously–who, so far, is the funniest comedian performing at the CPAC comedy convention??
RUSH: In fact, you know what, Common Cause, which is not a conservative bunch, Common Cause has just demanded that Obama shut down his permanent campaign. The actual campaign organization, Organizing for America, it’s now been renamed, they demanded that he actually just shut it down and start governing and stop this perpetual campaigning. The Limbaugh theorem proven once again.
