New Blacklist: Maddow’s Witch Hunt Filled With Distortions About Reagan’s Hollywood Years

God knows I’ve criticized Rachel Maddow before.  She’s trite, pretentious, and smug, a female version of Jon Stewart without any of the charm.  Like Obama, the left loves her largely because of her constant aura of pedantry – do you ever get the feeling that leftists still long for the guidance of the college professors who called them brave for toking up and sexually experimenting? – her supposed brilliance, and her sonorous baritone.

Only one problem: last week she proved that not only was she a raging blacklister, she proved that she was an ignoramus.

It all went down on last Thursday night’s show.  Maddow decided to “debunk” Mike Huckabee’s “Learn Our History” program, a rethinking of the American journey from the conservative point of view.  Specifically, Maddow had a problem with Huckabee’s “new and improved past, a revised American history carefully constructed to make you feel more comfortable than you might otherwise feel about our national history.”  She then picked out one specific example – the left’s favorite example: “You may remember the House Un-American Activities Committee.  Part of that was Senator Joe McCarthy red-baiting the living heck out of the entertainment industry … In 1947, Ronald Reagan testified before that committee as a friendly witness, as the president of the Screen Actors Guild.  And in 2011, Mike Huckabee reimagines all of this as six words in his animated hagiography of Ronald Reagan for kids: … ‘He worked against Communism in Hollywood.’”  She then proceeded to attempt to blacklist the company that did the animation for the Learn Our History series, explaining, “If you know who brought this amazing animated sauce to life, please get in touch with us.  We would like to know.”

  1. mad as hell says:

    Maddcow is an idiot,she runs her mouth without even bothering to check facts or history. But then again, the left libtards hate our history, particularly the anti-communism events, and seek to
    twist the facts or ignore them all together. I guess the 2 or 3 people who actually watch her show
    are smitten with the b**ch, I think she is irrelevant. POS

  2. This is one arrogant know it all. She lacks any feminine qualities and proves her ignorance time and again.
    I'm glad she is on their side !!

  3. Maddow said she doesn't won a television in her New York apartment so she probably gets all her "history" for Wikipedia. Though she did say she wants to get a TV so her GF could watch her. What gets me about Maddow is that she thinks she's the coolest thing to happen to cable news. I hate everything about her, but her voice and gestures make me ill.

  4. Truly does any one take this lady seriously ? Rachel Maddow's nothing more than a female James McPherson wannabee !

  5. Is she really a female? I guess ~ she is some type of creature with an opinion that is so biased. Poor thing, she feels she is so in the know and so cool. NOT!! Sorry, not one bit cool. Someday very soon she will be eating her words, one at a time. She is comtemptible.

  6. That would be contemptible. Very contemptible. As in …….. yucky.

  7. Madsow????
