Two agendas for entirely different reasons but wishing for the same results...the Mystery of her "Qualification" the Mystery of her "Sexuality"... Lets create the fire of controversy, through the voices of others....
Rachel Maddow
I recognize that you are attempting to use your show to frame an argument against Elena Kagan so please don't insult our intelligence by pretending to be fair to both sides... We see through this exact same fabrication Monday thru Friday on Morning Joe.
Your shows this past Mondayand Wednesday were quite disappointing
To make such a ridiculous leap by comparing Kagan to Nelson and Lieberman showed that your objective was to politically tarnish her; I mean really, she clerked for Thurgood Marshall, worked for Clinton and now for President Obama and you have the gull to put Elena Kagan in the same dark tunnel as Nelson and Lieberman because it fits the subjective narrative your trying to push...
Rachel Maddow are you so desperate to help out Greenwald in his personal crusade to win others over to his side...I noticed in your so called balanced reporting that you allowed Greenwald more on air time in debating against Kagan than you allowed your other guests who were in support of Kagen, you went even further by subsequently assisting Greenwald when you presented a negative narrative of Kagan right before speaking to another one of your guest.
Interestingly, on last night show, you didn’t even attempt to present a fair format when referring to Greenwald or when you thoroughly reread Michael Ratner’s NTY Rant against Kagan, your tone was deliberate in giving their voices credibility. But the opposite occurred when you showed and presented snippets of Kagan working for Clinton, Biden and now President Obama as if that were irrelevant and meaningless, you basically attempted to chalk up her Democratic Credentials as to being so upset that Democratic candidate Elizabeth Holzman had lost her bid to win the New York Senate Seat, that she drown her sorrows in Vodka and tonic.... Your commentary was stretching all over the place ....
You highly promoted Greenwald's Monday Appearance on your show Wednesday Night, but you conveniently left out Lawrence Lessig powerful argument in support of Elane Kagan, I would say this was intentionaly sloppy and incomplete research work on Kagan... or intentional Tricky Work.
Now tell me where have I seen this picture before, oh yeah wait a minute, this is something Joe Scarborough does while at the same time pretending to be a balanced and fair Republican.... Just as he attempted to do yesterday morning when the topic was on Elena Kagan's Sexuality, and his Glen Greenwald was Pat Buchanan.
I knew exactly what he was doing...just as I knew exactly what you were doing
Scarobrough decided to dedicate majority of his show on The Kagan Sexuality Mystery and the Wall Street Journal Photo Controversy.
The Wall Street Journal posted a picture of Kagan from many years ago dress-up in a soft ball uniform and so some in the Community were upset because they felt this was being done in attempt to call into question Kagan's Sexuality.... and so Scarborough being Scarborough attempted to use this to his advantage...
I (Scarborough) didn’t see anything wrong with the picture while at the same time he was cleverly trying to draw others into paying attention to her sexuality. (you know like how you are attempting to draw others into minimizing her work by selectively narrating her work with President Clinton and President Obama as if it were working at McDonals)... Majority of Scarborough’s 3 hour show was dedicated to her sexuality. He constantly talked about the Wall Street Journal Photo Story, forcing people to become interested in it. Joe Scarborough probably should stay away from sexuality story considering the GOP and the Rentboy connection or how GOP is targeting Tampa for their next Convention Site, which is known as the Lap Dance Capital of the World...
Okay back to my original point
My mind typically never tread on the line that one’s sexuality is a qualification for hiring, that's why I didn't see anything wrong with the picture but I could see how others might.....
But I knew The Morning Joe Crew were cleverly trying to inflame the story by constantly talking about it for almost three hours....I mean when you are trying to bring Pat Buchanan (your Glen Greenwald) in for his opinion one could not help but notice there was a silent narrative that GOP Scarborough was trying to push, say the story enough for others to become curious, have Buchanan stroke the fire, while at the same time he pretends to keep his hands clean, plant the seed in the head of those of us who would might not otherwise have cared and quite frankly still don’t care, but that was his goal just as it was yours last night... You two had an agenda for entirely different reasons but wishing for the same results...the Mystery of her "Qualification" the Mystery of her "Sexuality"... Lets create the fire of controversy, through the voices of others....
Disappointing
And so my question is this, there isn’t much of a paper trail on her work you say, well was there much there of you when you got your TV Gig.... Beside working in Radio, tell us Ms. Maddow what had you done in your life after receiving your Doctrine Degree in Political Science, nothing that really stands out to me, but yet here you are, on TV and doing a pretty good god dam job of it I say, and who recommended you for this job a former Sport Broadcaster, that has the number 1 rated Political Show on MSNBC, this person didn’t ask for a paper trail, he recognized a smart and intelligence person who could handle her own with the big boys but still here you are in judgment of Elena Kagan, and why is that, in order to push Glen Greenwald Ideology Agenda.... And you diminishes your credibility when you tried place her in a box with Nelson and Liebermann.... WOW!!! When I have to put you in the same box as Scarborough that hurts me more than you will ever know because I simply can’t stand the man..... But the similarities are there and it aint no denying it... ....
Who did you think you were fooling, even your guest looked disappointed on your calculating representation of Elena Kagan.... A lot respect was lost last night.... Accusing others of having agendas, is hypocrisy I didn't expect to see from you.... Now if you would have just came out against her, then I could have respected the set up of your last couple of shows but you hid behind Greenwald's Rant in order to promote your own....
