Rachel Maddow

2013-07-22T04:54:06Z

AaronH85:

'''Rachel Maddow''' (b. 1973) is a [[left-wing]] American media personality. She previously worked for the now-defunct [[Air America]] radio network and is current news anchor for [[MSNBC]]. Maddow was an outspoken advocate for saving the [[fascist]] regime of [[Saddam Hussein]] under the [[Iraq]]i [[Ba'athist]]s. Maddow has exploited the tragedies suffered by families and victims of the [[September 11, 2001 terror attacks]] to promote [[socialism]] and the unpopular [[Obamacare]] program.<ref>Maddow: "How about we get together as Americans and agree to get health care for the heros of 9/11." ''The Rachel Maddow Show'' transcript, MSNBC, September 9, 2010. [http://www.livedash.com/transcript/the_rachel_maddow_show/5304/MSNBC/Thursday_September_9_2010/294079/]</ref>

Maddow has a bachelors degree from [[Stanford University]], and earned a doctorate from [[Oxford University]] as a [[Rhodes Scholar]]. Maddow is one of the few openly [[lesbian|gay]] personalities in the mainstream news media. Like almost everyone at the MSNBC network, she has a secular world view and uses her position in the media to advance her morally bankrupt [[homosexual agenda]].
As a self described "commie lib" and follower of [[Barack Obama]], Maddow has not been known to criticize any incumbent extreme leftist agendas. A rabid anti-[[George W. Bush|Bush]] fanatic, Maddow openly derides [[Conservative values]] and the [[Republican Party]]. Maddow uses her show to deliver [[racist]] rants against [[outsourcing]] jobs to [[China]] and [[India]].<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20040124061734/http://alternet.org/story.html?StoryID=17601 The Dark Side of the Outsourcing Revolution,] By Naeem Mohaiemen, AlterNet, January 23, 2004.</ref><ref>[http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20081107105607AA41xPq Does Outsourcing Create Racism?] Yahoo Answers.</ref><ref>[http://theweek.com/article/index/207509/is-outsourced-racist Is 'Outsourced' racist? [[NBC]]'s new comedy, set in a Mumbai call center, is drawing charges that it's culturally insensitive,] Review, ''The Week'', September 24, 2010.</ref><ref>[http://www.tnr.com/article/politics/outsourced-racism Outsourced Racism,] ''[[New Republic]]'', Neera Tanden, May 5, 2010.</ref><ref>"at the World Economic Forum trade a British unionist, Philip Jennings, boldly declared that [[outsourcing]] white-collar jobs to low-wage developing countries, especially [[India]] and [[China]], would provoke ... opposition of developed-world labour unions to trade liberalisation, especially in relation to outsourcing, imports of cheap consumer goods and labour migration, can easily fuel [[racism]] within the West in the 21st century." [http://www.africaeconomicanalysis.org/articles/73/1/Anti-globalisation-nativism-and-racism/Page1.html]</ref><ref>[http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/39686408/ns/msnbc_tv-rachel_maddow_show/ Transcript: The Rachel Maddow Show,] Thursday. October 14, 2010.</ref>

Maddow frequently makes crude sexual innuendos in reference to the [[Tea Party Movement|Tea Party]].

In 2010, some liberal [[Democrat]]s circulated rumors that Maddow might be drafted to run for the [[US Senate]] contest in Massachusetts for the 2012 election against [[Republican]], [[Scott Brown]]. <ref>[http://www.universalhub.com/2010/walshgate-how-come-top-mass-dem-couldnt-hook-rache]</ref>

==Conspiracy theorist==
Maddow was insturmental in dreaming up the conspiracy theories about David and Charles Koch, two philantropic brothers known for their active support of the American Cancer Society, [[PBS]], MIT, Johns Hopkins, Lincoln Center, the American Museum of Natural History, the National Museum of Natural History, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and other humanitarian an educational projects.<ref>http://www.weeklystandard.com/articles/paranoid-style-liberal-politics_555525.html?page=3</ref>
