June 25th, 2013 4:10 PM
It's over! There's nothing left to see regarding the IRS Tea Party scandal. Well at least that was the opinion Rachel Maddow issued on her self-titled MSNBC show on Monday night. Citing a November 2010 IRS document released by House Democrats, that listed "progressive" as one of the keywords agents should watch out for, Maddow claimed it proved the tax agency was "scrutinizing" groups "both…

May 16th, 2013 2:59 PM
Sometimes it's what they neglect to mention that's more revealing than that was.

Abject Abortion Apologist Rachel Maddow Actually Mentions Gosnell Verd

May 15th, 2013 1:20 PM
