One thing Rachel missed: Fox pimping the teabaggers from day one

[K8-EEE]

Remember when every Faux talking head was promoting teabagger events every hour -- I remember Shep Smith looking quite pained doing so! The whole "movement" (I use that term in the sense of, bowel movement) was thought up in wingnut thinktanks funded by millionaires and PIMPED BY FOX!

2. I'm so confused. What did KO's firing have to do with Fox?

Admittedly I didn't watch any of this, but how did this get from KO's firing by M$NBC to Fox?

3. She was making the point of false equivalency

That since several Fox personalities not only routinely give to GOP candidates but ask for money for them on their shows and head fundraisers for them, that this makes the point that "MSNBC is just Fox of the Left" is not true - as pimping for GOP candidates is not only encouraged by standard practice aet Fox, where at MNSNBC they get disciplined for it.

5. HELL YES!!! THEY CREATED THEM> ALL THE TIME about 9 months ago.

I saw it happening. They 'announced' the meeting places in ATL and nashville and other cities. This BS didn't come from nowhere. First show i saw it on was Neil Cavuto.
