Related: About this forumChris Hayes Sucks at Interviewing Republican Assholes..
Did any of you watch his interview with Mo Brooks tonight, concerning Obamas immigration speech?
Absolutely let Brooks run the interview with his non stop lies (Gish Gallop technique)...See link.
Every time Hayes brought up a substantial point or fact.. Brooks just shouted him down so that Hayes could never finish his point.. For Fucks sake Chris, learn to not go on with the interview if the point you are making is met with a Chris that is absolutely untrue, you need to look it up) followed by another stream of puke coming out of Brooks. Amazingly Chris went on with his challenges to Brooks ignoring the fact that Brooks was always getting in the last point, while Chris could barely be heard..
My God do the producers of All In have any idea at all of how inept Chris was tonight...
Enough with the fucking Sirs Chris.. Get some balls or get out.. We have enough well spoken intellectuals on our side, ... Get some chops or get out..
By the way, I think Chris is Brilliant on an intellectual political level.. He just stinks in the confrontation dept..
If anyone can come up with a link to this part of the show tonight..Please.......

(3,580 posts)I could have him and his family over and we'd have wonderful conversations. I really like him. Yeah but he got talked over in that interview. Chris did get him questions in but they weren't answered.
I used enjoy Martin Bashir interviews. I don't know how effective they were but he'd not let them off the hook.

(75,480 posts)Have you noticed that our liberal hosts are being forced to have right wingers on their shows on MSNBC? They did show low ratings, recently, but I hope their programmers don't think this is going to improve the ratings. Frankly, I'm grateful that Chris blew him off and moved on.

(41,103 posts)many intellectuals & cerebrals who can think & write well on the left. We need more who can confront & handle, one on one in particular. Despite his flaws, nobody can say M. isn't quick, sharp, a pro and above all a fighter. We need more people of action on the left, it's starting to build thank goodness.

(22,756 posts)was when Chris Hayes questioned him about Reagan's actions, Brooks intentionally inserted "Clinton" where Reagan should have been... it was vile to say the least... he shouldn't have gotten away with it

(3,163 posts)There is nothing unusual in that interview, that is what he always does. Every question he asks of anyone he apologizes for asking it as he asks it, and he accepts anything they say in response.

(8,515 posts)Preaching to the Choir helps change nothing... As smart as he is, let him do work in the back..Research, Strategy, etc. At this moment in time, we need to find fighters not intellectual soft hearted teachers..
