Lawrence O'Donnell is guest hosting for Chris Matthews on Hardball today and he had this woman (beginning of video - "I don't want this country turning into Russia... turning into a socialized country."..."You have awakened a sleeping giant." "What are you going to do to restore this country to what the founders intended according to the Constitution" she says.) on as his guest:
Her name is
O'Donnell could of course have wiped the floor with her, but he did say that he understood that she's not a professional talking head so he was pretty gentle with her. However, it didn't matter because she had no clue. Not a one.
When talking about taxes, for example, he asked her if she knew that Obama had said he'd only raise taxes on those families making $250,000.00 and above. He then asked her if her family would qualify with the small business she said they had. At first she said she'd rather not say. Fair enough. But then she went on to say that she didn't know because her husband handled all that. Oh lord! Does he sign her name to their tax forms too? Wouldn't be the first time for some wives...
He asked her if her parents are on Medicare. She said they were getting to that age. So he went on to ask her if Medicare and Social Security should be abolished (seeing as how they were socialistic and not something contemplated by the Founders). She couldn't answer his questions -- not wouldn't -- couldn't.
I wish he had asked her if she had wanted to restore slavery -- you know -- like the Founders intended.

To be expected from the guy who claimed the US did war crimes prosecutions for waterboarding and could not name who and when.
