Rachel Maddow makes my skin crawl

So I woke up this morning to an email from a friend, linking me to a clip from the Rachel Maddow show. It had to do with the Shirley Sherrod story, and how Fox News is racist and how Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity were responsible for the firing of Ms. Sherrod. Now I listened to Shirley Sherrod tell the story about Cheryl Cook calling her and telling her to pull her car over and tender her resignation "because she was going to be on the Glenn Beck show." HAHA. Glenn Beck has the White House on edge it looks like, they are firing people for stuff they think might happen. Pathetic? Yeah, I'd say so. Now I know that condemning somebody just for their political ideas is wrong, but I think Rachel Maddow is one of the stupidest people to ever have their own show on cable tv. Everybody on MSNBC are idiots, but she takes the cake. Politifact.com is a good site to see who is lying and who is telling the truth in politics, they pulled a handful of quotes from Rachel Maddow, and NOT ONE of this woman's statements were even half true. I don't understand, I know there's freedom of speech and all that, but I wish there was some kind of mediator for cable television, someone or something that could keep people like this in check when they are just lying through their teeth to the thousands and thousands of people that are watching it. Those single host kind of talk shows are dangerous if you ask me, for the sole reason that they can say anything they want, and the only people to correct them, are people that email the damn show. It's ridiculous. That's why I find www.politifact.com to be such an interesting site. I think everybody should read it, everybody should go check facts on stuff they hear, before they form an opinion. You got every news show in the country talking about some damn FDA official for a week now, come on Mr. President - LETS GET BACK TO THE REAL PROBLEMS IN THIS COUNTRY. Personally calling Shirley Sherrod to apologize. Since when does the POTUS call someone like that and apologize, an FDA official at that. She should have kept her mouth shut and just did her job, instead of trying to politic. Obama, how bout you call the families of the murdered farmers in Arizona? Just a thought.
