MSNBC Host eviscerates Reince Priebus...

He knocked him out with the right wing playbook.
This tape needs to be a future template for how to handle Republicans who forever have out shouted their opponents with bullshit in public forums...Robert Thomas... Wow!

This is long but gets better as it goes on.. Typically, Preibus usually out shouts everyone to the point he sounds drunk.
Not this time...

Last 3 minutes or so: Priceless...

That was a thing of beauty. It should be taught in every journalism class in the country.

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]I'll read a transcript, and the bit that's here is good -- but the faces/voices of reTHUGs nauseate me and I just can't watch.

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]Thomas did a phenomenal job.

Pee-Wee Priebus still nauseated me, though, even in that small dose. How quickly he slipped right into personal insults when he couldn't/wouldn't answer straightforward questions. Very telling and oh so typical.

Have I mentioned lately how much I loathe and despise reTHUGs?

Why are there so many of them in the repub party? Ryan is smarmy, Cantor is smug and smarmy. This greasy little turd.

And Michelle Bachman truly is exuberant and giddy about the shutdown. She's so disgusting.

Right wing uses this technique all the time. Especially by Priebus.

Roberts was smiling all the time stuck to his guns and did not allow Priebus to play his fucking game...

Out so fast that the other person can't keep up. Like before they can debunk "dinosaurs lived with humans" there are five more flat out falsehoods to contend with.

I dont think it's a gish gallop when you're hitting them with the truth; it's more like just, the "fuck you you're wrong".

The question might be she gives her next talking point. It isn't important for her to answer the question just give the talking point. For Regis and others apparently they are unable or the GOP refuses to allow them to answer on their own. Pitiful.

I LOVE Thomas Roberts, and nothing warms my heart more than seeing him grab Rancid Preibus by the short hairs and fling him across the room like that.

Where and how do they come up with that. And why don't they get their asses handed to them over that. It's called an ELECTION! At least this guy reminded Rinse Penis of this.
