#STFUMACHINE In Action!

If you twitter you know what hashtags are. For those who don't know, on twitter when you are talking about a particular subject and you want people who aren't following you or just people who are also talking about the same subject to be able to find your tweet you signify it with a hashtag. A hashtag can pretty much be anything you want it to be as long as it begins with a "#".

Well Lawrence O'Donnell does such a good job of pushing back on right wing ideologues on MSNBC that a bunch of us created the #STFUMACHINE hashtag for when we want to talk about a new clip where he PWNS some hapless wingnut. Today, as the guest host for "Hardball", he took it to a whole new level interviewing Republican Congressman John Culberson of Texas. Not only did he call him out for hypocrisy in the debate on health care reform, he also flat out called him a liar several times, something that you hardly EVER see on cable news no matter how bad a guest is full of shit.




I'm kinda hoping that they end up giving him the 10pm time slot. Olberman, Maddow and then LOD would be one helluva lineup!

  1. I don't think they'll give him his own show. People would be terrified to go on it. Also, he'd kick so much wingnut ass his foot would fall off after about a week.

  2. HAHAHA! Oh my god, that man is awesome. Give him his own show and I swear I'll watch it every day.

  3. Tweety must be at the funeral in Hyannisport. I wish LOD would at least get one of the Hardball time slots. The last time he got wrought up enough to call someone a flat out liar was when he got in Swiftboater O'Neil's face and LOD wasn't seen on the teevee for over a year. Hopefully times have changed.
