Complain to MSNBC on Behalf of Rand Paul

[Daamien]

My complaint to MSNBC. Please feel free to alter and submit your own. Lawrence O'Donnell's attacks are absolutely ridiculous.

During the Place/Politics: Decision 2010 coverage on November 2, 2010 in the 9:00 PM ET segment co-host and MSNBC employee Lawrence O'Donnell made the charge that Senator-Elect Rand Paul would filibuster raising the national debt ceiling. Not only is this accusation without any factual basis, according to Mr. O'Donnell it would result in destroying the US Government's credit rating and result in anarchy in America and abroad. This simply is not true, as the Federal Reserve has the power to monetize outstanding government debt to prevent the the government from defaulting on its treasury debt obligations. Lawrence should be made aware of this fact and simultaneously reprimanded for his lack of factual basis in his claims. A news organization such as MSNBC should not be spreading disinformation and fear. Please issue a correction if you wish to maintain credibility and viewership.

Thanks.

I actually thought the segment on Rand was quite flattering. Only a mentally deranged liberal would think holding down the debt would be a bad thing.

Here's my version:

Love your spirit, but it's MSNBC, man. They attack all Republicans and Tea Partiers. It's nothing new.

Same goes for Fox News in making many baseless claims about many Democrats.

It's the diabolical left/right paradigm that has created a nation of zombies.

As you can tell, I'm not particularly optimistic about the future of this country. The Tea Party sounds great (mostly) on paper, but like a great person once said, I'll believe it when I see it.

I know, I'm just frustrated! Copy pasta for justice!

Peter Schiff promised to filibuster increasing the debt ceiling. Too bad he didn't win.

Yeah I don't think I heard it from Rand. God I wanted Schiff in too!

I agree

The way O'Donnell tells it, Rand Paul has the power to control the entire Congress and he hasn't even taken office yet! Add to that, Ed Putz Schultz is pleading with Boehner to return Pelosi's favor by taking impeachment off the table and let Obama off the hook and not impeach him.

I gather that MSNBC is fearful of losing its race card they love to use when people criticize Obama!

Lets see if the House tries to get rid of Obamacare! Blue Shield has told me my monthly premium will go up in January while the Government told me my social security will not. Next, rent and fuel will rise, as the dollar loses value, while food package sizes continue to decrease more


This left/right crap is irritating and last night's perceived victory has run way short. I want to see voters vote in third party candidates. We can leave a couple people in, but the banker puppets have got to go in droves.

Ron Paul for Speaker of the House! Let's make this happen! Sorry for going off script!
