What the Liberal Media Can Learn From Rachel Maddow’s Christwire Scandal

MSNBC talking head Rachel Maddow lit up the conservative blogosphere Monday night with an unprecedented attack on Christian journalism in America today. In the middle of a discussion about the Egyptian crisis, she shocked many with a surprisingly vicious assault on Sarah Palin and her grassroots supporters across the country. It was the height of unabashed media bigotry and this liberal icon’s career may very well suffer from the repercussions already stirring around the globe.
At the heart of Ms. Maddow’s tirade was a simplistic and mocking attempt to understand an investigative article by this reporter entitled, “As Egypt Descends in Chaos, Should Sarah Palin Support a US-Led Invasion?” In that piece, the growing consensus that the insurgencies in North Africa presage a rise in Islamic fundamentalism was detailed. This is an issue that politicians like Governor Palin desperately need to address. We may very well be facing the gravest security threat to American primacy since September 11th.

Yet Maddow, like so many of her liberal ilk, is so obsessed with the rise of the Tea Party that she fails to appreciate dangers beyond her elitist, navel-gazing circle of self-aggrandizing wantons. The idea that a national movement could be birthed on our factory floors, nurtured in our churches and catapulted to media prominence through town hall protests simply terrifies the subversive elements in the United States today. Most agree that in a time of war it is essential that this nation present a united front against our enemies. Sadly, Maddow conveniently sidelines this fact. Instead, she sees the tide of Egyptian violence as the perfect excuse to exact revenge on a beloved figure who enjoys tremendous support on the home front.
Several of my fellow journalists have suggested to me privately that, at the very least, Maddow owes Christwire an apology. Frankly, I’d rather not lower myself to her level. Most conservatives do not even consider her worthy of consideration. Her self-serving browbeating of a hardcore socialist agenda is an anathema to faith and righteousness. It is easy to dismiss this newswoman as a second-rate disingenuous fringe zealot who would trade her cable news podium to fill in Mary Hart’s heels on Entertainment Tonight in a heartbeat. Yet maybe this is the perfect opportunity to finally reassess one of this country’s most notorious persecutors of our sacred freedoms.
The fact is Maddow has done incalculable harm to the America we know and love. She smirks and guffaws her way through every newscast with an ersatz humility. She is like a schmaltzy Catskills comedian, desperate for a few claps of pitying applause as we anxiously make our way to the bar. At the end of the night, we must acknowledge that she’s just as responsible for the flaccid tuna casserole of bad ideas as her bosses in the Obama administration who serve up the steaming plates of Biden talking points, bastardized health studies and blog posts from the perpetually unemployed. Liberals gorge themselves on this overpriced buffet meal with reckless abandon, blind to the fact that they’re genuinely putting the future of America at risk.

Ms. Maddow’s outrage, delivered with shrill emotionalism, is simply unconvincing. It’s as if she knows deep in her heart that she will never command the respect of her Fox News betters. As an intellectual, she is only slightly capable of reading the pithy lines fed to her from a teleprompter. One sees her eyes darting back and forth as she stumbles her way through complex sentences. Awkward pauses warn us of the arrival of a multisyllabic word. Despite the fact that she is hopelessly out of her league on prime time television, she makes no effort to hide her seething grandiosity.
The divergent sexuality that Maddow so willfully exudes with her tight jackets and bee-stung lips is off-putting, if not patently offensive. But somehow she still cultivates an audience. By endorsing radical lifestyle choices and free health care, she beckons many into her chasms of unfathomable sensuality. Like a true liberal, she never divulges the intense same-sex crisis that taunts her at every turn. What is most maddening is that many women in America have been drawn into her dangerous web, tempted to experiment with fleshy interactions that serve no procreative role. Can she honestly say that this is the patriotic thing to do at a time when surging third world populations are tearing down our borders, ready to throw our freedoms onto the floor for swarthy violations of sin and socialism? Yes, it’s high time that all of us admit that Rachel Maddow embodies every possible scenario of our downfall as a nation.
I do appreciate that Ms. Maddow described my journalism as “spectacular” on her broadcast. Maybe there is some hope in that outrageous brain of hers. While some of my enemies on the left are warning fellow reporters to avoid my work, with John Hudson of the Atlantic even going so far as to say of NBC, “Maybe the company should flag this guy in their employee handbook,” I have a humble suggestion. Why not follow up with a look at some groundbreaking investigations I have performed on Bill Murray, The Golden Girls and homosexual pets? As Maddow dejectedly tweeted after her encounter with the cerebral superiority of this website’s message, “Christwire: 1, The Rachel Maddow Show: 0.” Yes indeed, Rachel. Yes indeed.

Stephenson,
You are one of the great wonders of investigative journalism. I hate sounding like a broken LP, but the truth needs to be promulgated to the naysayers and boo birds that scoff at your revelatory articles. They need to be brought back to Eden.
As noted on another thread, this woman has openly admitted to being a vampire. While a member of the amoral undead, Ms. Maddow does provide video proof of this claim.

To imply that Palin is universally loved on the home front and that there should be an invasion of Egypt because the people there are seeking democratic reforms, is insane. We should be supporting the downfall of dictators while keeping a close watch on the situation to guard against an Islamic takeover of the region. The problems in Egypt could turn out to be a benefit for the region if they end up with free and open democratic state with an equally open economy. Now is not the time to be reactionary or start ideological fights with people you disagree with. It is also far from the time to take military action that will put our servicemen in harms way before we have a clearer understanding of the situation at hand and the direction that the country is going.

And I quote from an Egyptian protester ‘Why isn’t the U.S. helping?
An Egyptian fellow I know watched the Rachel Maddow show on the internets last night and was horrified that Rachel Maddow immediately dismissed their calls for help.
We as American’s can’t call ourselves “the land of the free and the home of the brave” unless we are willing to help others be free and brave.

Matt, are you honestly saying that you want Egypt to become a theocratic Islamic terrorist state that poses a threat to America? That seems absurd, and truly dangerous.
“With the knowledge that I have of the great revolutionary and history making people of Egypt, I am sure they will play their role in creating an Islamic Middle East for all freedom, justice and independence seekers,” Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi was quoted as saying on state television’s website.”
“The people of Tunisia and Egypt prove that the time of controlling regimes by world arrogance (the West) has ended and people are trying to have their own self-determination,” said Salehi, who also currently oversees Iran’s controversial nuclear programme.”
Egypt revolt is ‘step towards Islamic Middle East’

“One has to remark that men ought to be either well treated or crushed . . .” –Machiavelli
At the heart of this whole issue is the fact that our system needs poverty and creates poverty through policy and crisis and at the same time is directly and indirectly threatened by the poor. The system is dependent on surplus populations in order to create redundant labor that keeps wages and services low while keeping profits high. However these surplus populations are at the same time a threat to political, aesthetic and cultural paradigm. The US incarcerates these populations! Mubarak’s CIA handler must have messed up the lesson plan because he obviously didn’t get that memo. Egypt’s surplus population has become exploding political dynamite and the dominant system of elitist Middle Eastern dictators and their Western collaborators are reeling. Obama’s puppet masters know full well that the people in a real democratic and popular government –in Egypt or any other country- would never accept their place as pawns in the elite class’ system of inequality. This is the real reason why Obama and the rest of the mean-spirited, power hunger, oppressive bastards that run our country and most of rest of the world can’t accept the uprisings in Egypt. Power to the people!

Thanks for the analysis, Trotsky. First of all, I take exception to your use of the term “excess populations.” It’s this type of talk that leads to condoms and abortions. Furthermore, you seem to think America’s investment in Muburak was failed, but you disregard the fact that it actually went along swimmingly for 30 years. 30 years! That’s an above average run for a dictator and we surely got our every penny’s worth. The man is 82 now and when they get that old, they lose their fight. It’s only to be expected.
As for your claim that the powers that be cannot accept the populist uprising in Egypt because it poses a threat to American economic and social security, well that was exactly the point of my previous article. So maybe we do agree!

Correction, we’ve never been healthier and technically we’ve got quite a bit of prosperity. Our lowest class today is the equivalent of a middle class roughly 60 years ago. There’s also the technological advancements and the education that people receive nowadays that’s a helluva lot better than before. Kids are learning multiplication and division of high numbers in elementary school when there was once a time where you just introduced the concept in elementary and let middle school teach you that in detail. People are receiving bigger paychecks, health care is better; it’s just that the economy is the the gutter thanks to Bush’s war (amongst one of the many reasons) that jobs are closing down and places aren’t hiring that much and everyone just focus’s on the negative parts of life.

You can’t twist words properly, so don’t try. Bush didn’t cause that growth in 8 years, it took 60 years of development that spanned over every single election and president that occurred. Not only that, I DID specifically state that Bush is responsible for the shitty economy.
Neither he, nor Obama, are responsible for the technological advancements made by society, simply because they didn’t have a hand in it whatsoever. That’s like saying that Obama’s the reason why you gained 50 pounds in two years, even though you’re the one stuffing your face with cheeseburgers and fatty foods when you’ve the got the ability to not do so and eat healthier foods. You’re blaming Obama, even though he had nothing to do with your poor choices. It’s just like how technology has evolved; Bush was just around when it happened, yet he’s still guilty of the crimes he’s committed.

You’re equating technology with health and prosperity? I don’t think that case will hold water. Sometimes it’s easy to get deluded by shiny new gadgets, but are our lives genuinely better on a day to day basis? Americans work far more hours, suffer greater levels of stress and require far more advanced health for their problems. The average family just starting out does not have the opportunities to buy a home in the suburbs and find secure jobs as they did in the 50s. Yes, we have IPads and IPhones and Facebook, but that’s not the sort of social improvement that nurtures the soul.

//You’re equating technology with health and prosperity? I don’t think that case will hold water.//
All are in the same boat, we’ve gotten healthier and we’ve thrived more over these 60 (read: SIXTY) years, alongside the technology getting better. Not only that, better technology equals better health, how so? Read on.
//Sometimes it’s easy to get deluded by shiny new gadgets, but are our lives genuinely better on a day to day basis?//
It’s thanks to technology that we’re able to make foods healthier and help make better choices thanks to how well we can analyze it, it’s thanks to technology that the work force has increased in it’s efficiency that it has, it’s thanks to technology that our medicine works better, and so on and so forth. Just because we can make a car with built-in satellite radio doesn’t mean that improved technology is nothing but bells and whistles.
//Americans work far more hours, suffer greater levels of stress and require far more advanced health for their problems.//
Which has gotten worse since Bush took office, after he decided to invade Iraq.
//The average family just starting out does not have the opportunities to buy a home in the suburbs and find secure jobs as they did in the 50s.//
Actually, part of the economic problems facing people today is because idiots decided that they could take out a loan way back when and couldn’t pay it off. People are getting smarter about that sort of thing and NOT just taking out loans to buy houses that they can’t afford down the line. As for the jobs, it’s mainly due to the fact that companies just aren’t making any real money, meaning they can’t hire people, and thus the cycle continues, and when you add in how companies are also outsourcing their work, it does nothing but pile on more problems (and THIS is a problem that’s been around for a while now, INCLUDING when Bush was in office, so don’t pin this on Obama).
//Yes, we have IPads and IPhones and Facebook, but that’s not the sort of social improvement that nurtures the soul.//

She didn’t gleefully mock Palin and her supporters. She was specifically outlining the ridiculous items occurring in the media as of late, and cited your far-fetched article calling for Palin to support a “US-led invasion of Egypt” as one of the most ridiculous. Maddow even specified that the article was not written by Palin or anyone officially affiliated with her, but by a supporter of hers. Maddow later stated on Twitter that she hadn’t realised that this site was, in fact, a satirical organisation. Her comment of, “Christwire: 1 Maddow: 0″ was in reference to that fact.
Oh, and gleefully mocking a political figure and their supporters is “unbecoming in a news journalist”, but outright attacking people isn’t?

I don’t know if I understand infovoyeur very well but he said that you won In irak without rejection
you won in afghanistan without removing the corrupt government
and you will won in egypot because ?
but it’s all a Grotesque translation
In Irak the army was only rebuild ( they were still in training )
in afghanistan the american had HARD time to deal with them and they were like 2 X less than the “allies”
in egypt they are like more and well trained compared to those countries
also a special Note on my behalf
if the egyptian were so “evil” and so bad and they didn’t know how to take care on themselve
why the army let’s them doing it they even promised not to shoot at them ( actually my opinion is the army are there to protect museum, library and the likes of it) they even said that this uprising is legitimate, read it LEGITIMATE

You may have a point about the financial costs of war, but how can we idly stand by as yet another country slides into a dangerous revolution with terrorist underpinnings? Iranian and pan-Middle Eastern agents are clearly getting involved with the insurgency. They’re turning them away from secularism and an American alliance.

Who would pay for it? Us? Oh, so you want another reason to bitch at Obama, even though you’re all for Palin going ballistic over there? You want to bitch at someone in office regardless of what happens. They don’t send people there like you wanted? They suck. They do send people over there but it cases the economy to plummet once again? It’s because it’s Obama’s fault. Something good actually came from it all? It’s because of Sarah Palin. All you do is bitch about the people you don’t like, ignore the good the other side’s done, and ignore the bad your side’s done, and if there’s any noticeable good from the other side, you simply chalk it up as a victory for someone who wasn’t responsible for it in the first place.

The Egyptian military has also stated, on the record, that they will not fire at peaceful protesters. The vast majority, if not ALL, of the protesters in Egypt are protesting Mubarak’s regime in a non-violent manner, marching and demonstrating without harming anyone.
So, no, their military WOULDN’T side with us. Or haven’t you seen how close the Egyptian people are with their military, even during this period? Old women kissing their soldiers fondly, in a grandmotherly fashion, on the cheek, thanking them for serving their country, rather than a dictator who has been in power for thirty years. A dictator who has used his power to DESTROY democracy in Egypt? The people are calling for democracy, and they will claim it, just as the Tunisians did only a short time before.

Here’s a common play from the book of revolution: let the populace cause a lot of trouble, let them loot and riot. Stand by the sidelines for a while. Let the politicians scramble for power. Even let government agents burn buildings and loot. Encourage just a big old mess. And once everything is chaos, the military generals have an excuse to say, “This has gone too far. For the safety of the country, we’re taking over. We will hold elections at some later point. We’ll give you a date when we’re ready.” Happened recently in Thailand, Musharraf did it in Pakistan, Qadhafi in Libya…

RD, I realize you’re young but this is just the beginning of a long, drawn out battle. Revolutions can take time. Now that Egypt’s economy has been put on hold because of this crisis, critical resources are starting to get scarce. Food, water, etc. How long before people reject the currency? How long until power companies turn off their plants because they’re not receiving funds from a broken down government? All of these things could escalate very quickly.

You can’t tell them what to do because they’re people, they have a choice in the matter, and they’ll do what they think is necessary to protect their land, and they believe that tearing down their government and installing a new one to replace it is what’s needed because they’re sick of the shit their ‘president’ did, and they don’t want anyone associated with him in office anymore, and they’re right. Let THEM choose their new leader, and let THEM install their new government; if they want our help, they’ll ask, and if enough people ask, then we’ll actually do something.

today in egypt you protect Mubarak because they have Oil and he is an american puppet, but Oppress the People
also what does it’s change if someone is christian or muslims in power ? you had George Bush and he was the worst president ever
and the islamist Brotherhood are forbidden to even represent themselve in election
Your solution as what I see : you wnat to go there with your army killing men women and children because they are against Mubarak and his Tyranny, the population is poor there is no job over there and he didn’t even helped them in 30 years
what will you show to the world if you do an Invasion on egypt? You will show you are a tyran and not worth being allied to

Palin might be a Communist plant. He was very convincing in that she wears red all the time & talks about ‘bears’. She also says ‘freedoms’ a lot & that is almost Russian.

Barbsy,
Welcome to the fellowship. I too found this internets site fairly recently, though it was from a recommendation from our pastor at the Free Evangelical Church of Idaho. A while ago many of us that follow this site also questioned whether people from Alaska were truly Americans. Some of us thought they were still Russia planning to subvert America. Some people thought they had earned the right to call themselves Americans through their voting records. We did not reach a consensus. However we all agreed Sarah Palin was a turning point for Alaskan acceptance. After all a good portion of the southwest was Mexican too.

None of this should be a holy war as you guys imply but a logical terrorist actions to another country like Israel. I am not saying this because Israel is an ally but as a possible boiling point in that region.

Besides that, when prompted for evidence that he truly is a journalist, he either yells nonsense, quotes an unrelated Bible verse, or doesn’t bother to respond. A real journalist would be more than happy to show their credentials, and remove any doubts as to their credibility.

Sammy, unfortunately your comment was rife with grammatical, spelling and capitalization errors. Despite this, I do understand your point but you are obviously wrong. I think I have been far more right on this issue than Maddow has been. Have you noticed the violence and the rise of controversial Islamic groups in recent days? Well, I predicted that ten days ago when Maddow was delighting in the fun populism of the street protests. Don’t try to lecture me, I’m far older and you are far out of your league. Be well,

Sammy, this comment is just for you. All the others can just skip it. I want to tell you that I am a Christian and you are certainly out of touch with our world.
You say that I do not represent Christianity, you say that I am outside of the mainstream, you label me a radical, but are you truly so blind to the passion of Evangelicals in America today? I’m not alone, in fact I’m part of a very large community that people like you pretend do not exist. My journalism follows closely the work of Dr James Dobson who created one of the most successful faith-based organizations in this country, helping families deal with the crises of pornography, sexuality and drug addiction. Have you never heard of Focus on the Family?
My reading of the Bible and my dedication to Christ’s Words are wholly in line with what Evangelicals are preaching all across this great country. I fight against the “deviancy cabal” drawing directly on the Biblical teachings of renowned scholars like the Reverends Bryan Fischer, Lou Engle, Rick Joyner, Estus Pirkle and Joel Osteen to name but a few. I also am a fervent supporter of the Reverend Dr. Pat Robertson who has literally touched tens of millions with his 700 Club ministry and Liberty University. My beliefs rarely stray from Pat’s guiding light. When it comes to radical feminism, there is Constitutional attorney Phyllis Schlafly who has wrestled against it for decades. She is known the world over for her advocacy and love of Jesus. You think I imagine the discrimination and bigotry our faith faces every day? Read the journalism of David Limbaugh (brother of Rush).
When it comes to politics, you seem equally out of touch. It’s people like you who fail to understand why those of us in the Tea Party are so engaged. We love this country, we want to do everything we can to save it. Honor, integrity and the Constitution are vital to us. I will not abandon that and looking around at the town hall meetings, the protest marches, the rise of our candidates, we are making an impression. We are an integral part of the United States and if you’re so conceited that you can’t be bothered to recognize the revolution happening before your very eyes, I really don’t know what to say.
You try to malign me, cast me aside but you fail to see I am simply a man who is but one of you. I’m dedicated and I’m honest. I speak the truths that are being spoken by countless others all across this glorious country. It’s not me, it’s “we.”

doesn’t matter Stevie, a repeat is still a repeat and still undermines your point. You can’t think of anything else to say, other than to make yourself seem important by lumping yourself together with groups that are well-known, even if they’re completely misinformed and nothing but a pack of liars.

//Sammy, unfortunately your comment was rife with grammatical, spelling and capitalization errors.//
If that invalidates his point, then any time I see a typo on your blog posts, I can just say ‘you’re wrong because your logic says that grammatical errors prevent you from possibly having a point’.
//Despite this, I do understand your point but you are obviously wrong.//
Anyone have a video of a baby whining, because I think I’m gonna need it for Stevie.
//I think I have been far more right on this issue than Maddow has been.//
“Sarah Palin should support a US-led invasion to rid Egypt of it’s freedoms, of course I’m right!”
Yeah, how the fuck can you justify ANY of your opinions, considering how much of a monster you are?
//Have you noticed the violence and the rise of controversial Islamic groups in recent days?//
Ya know, if you’re going to SAY something, you might wanna, I don’t know, BACK IT UP, even if it means repeating the statement several times in a list of sources and claims from reliable and credible news sites.
//Well, I predicted that ten days ago when Maddow was delighting in the fun populism of the street protests.//
Bullshit, you’re just sayin’ fluff now.
//Don’t try to lecture me, I’m far older and you are far out of your league. Be well,//
You’re out of touch, and you’ve lost your mind, what league could YOU be in?

Actually, I did read the disclaimer at the top, and I chose to ignore it. Now I can see why you felt the need to put the disclaimer, so we wouldn’t see that you just rehashed that old “I’m just like Dobson, Focus on the Family, yadda yadda yadda” shit.

I stand by those claims and believe they are powerful. No one, not you or Comedian or RD or Jazze, has refuted anything I have stated in those paragraphs. I am part of a movement, despite the fact you want to dump me on the fringe. If you hate and distrust me, it naturally follows that you distrust and hate my peers. (And honestly, some say far more controversial things than I.)

//I stand by those claims and believe they are powerful.//
The only problem with standing by your beliefs is when those beliefs are about harming others and impeding on their beliefs and through subtle (or not so subtle) words that insult others based on what they believe in.
//No one, not you or Comedian or RD or Jazze, has refuted anything I have stated in those paragraphs.//
Bullshit, I seem to remember completely ripping through and trashing the statement you made the FIRST time, but seeing as how you like to ignore the truth, you completely missed that, and on purpose, right?
//I am part of a movement, despite the fact you want to dump me on the fringe.//
A movement made of crazies if anything.
//If you hate and distrust me, it naturally follows that you distrust and hate my peers. (And honestly, some say far more controversial things than I.)//
Ok, I’ll give you THAT much. Yes, if we do hate you, then we automatically hate the people you look up to like a god damn idol, like Fred Phelps and such, and yes, he HAS said and done far more controversial things than you. The only difference, however, is that you haven’t said it YET; it’s all a matter of time before you start saying that we should thank God for dead soldiers and whatnot.

Wow, time to put the Lib out of his misery. Umm…what part of Parody site did you not understand? You do realize that Billings is a fictional character that takes the Right Wing Bible Thumper to an extreme…as a method of ridiculing Right Wing Bible Thumpers? Wow…ring the bell and the dog drools, whether there is actual meat on the plate or not. Phelps is an idiot, and being USAF I’m butt-hurt(pun intended) that I have to protect that guy’s right to free speech. It is all or nothing though. I disagree with Christwire.ORG(got it right that time) but I’m happy to sacrifice for them to freely parody and disagree with others. Comparing Billings to Phelps is idiotic, and I want you to know that you brought us all a bunch of laughs Comedian…all at your expense.

I think a lot of the posters on this thread are really just proud of the work Stephenson has done to informally (but successfully) regulate the journalistic integrity of our media.
There are a few boo-birds, the naysayers, those that would complain if someone told them they won the lottery that bray and snort their discontent. We need to understand these are unhappy souls, but they are not lost and pray for their healing and for our understanding in interacting with them.
Praise be,

Umm, Steve…may I call you Steve? The first amendment grants me the freedom to express my point of view and/or opinion. The only movement you seem to be apart of is a bowel movement. I feel powerful knowing I pissed you off. Thank you for playing into my hands. I believe the end of times are here. You are the Anti-Christ, you and Pat Robinson, the 700 Club and all of the right wing zealots that THINK they are Christians.When all you do is suck money from the elderly and put fear into their hearts. It is a form of bullying. Shame on you all!!!!
You have all the nerve to quote from the Bible and then slander and condemn. Isn’t it God…and ONLY God who can judge? That is just a little Bible 101 for you since you clearly are among the groups of right wing nut jobs that make the US completely F**ked up. Oh and if you don’t like my grammer then you can blame the Republican administration that didn’t pay teachers enough in the 70′s. Yes, you are old. Someday you will die an old cranky man…will anyone shed a tear? Maybe Christ will have mercy on your soul. He is nice like that.

Journalism is the practice of investigation and reporting of events, issues and trends to a broad audience.
This is more like PROPAGANDA…
