VIDEO: Rachel Maddow/Art Robinson showdown | The Political Carnival

This is a candidate getting heavily funded by one of those bogus sources...
Secret Campaign Cash in Oregon | The Democratic Daily
Knowing the poster is not in anyway biased, I think the headline should read, "wacko Maddow vs. Congressional candidate Arthur Robinson"

Maddow, now there is wacko.

This was one of the worst rudest interviews I have ever seen. art though he was shining as he just wanted to attack Ms. Maddow.
The unknown sources of the donations may end up crippling this country is what I fear.

I'd hate to think that you actually watched this and are still defending this lunatic Robinson. That would not say much for your evaluation of a candidate's qualifications and credibility. Is this guy someone you would vote for?

Not in this case. Maddow was attempting to be sane.
Republicans should dis-avow that guy.

-Fusion Reactor waste chopped up and spread over the surface of the Pacific Ocean???? (IIRC, the US Navy discarded this idea back in the 1950's or so.)

-Global Warming a hoax because HE has proved it to be false (to himself), and his constituents should believe him because HE knows it to be 'scientifically proven" (by himself to his own standards) and no peer reviewed publication will publish is proof??? (This is a prime example of the 7th mortal sin, Pride and Hubris, with Vainglory close behind.)

-Home schooling should be self directed by the child, and the child should study a racist bigoted white supremacist teachings from a discredited British Author written in the last part of the 19th century??? (as if 100 years of literature, history, and social changes like suburbia, mega grocery store food shopping, assembly lines, global economy, movies, TV, computer technology, and automobiles haven't occurred.)

I don't watch Rachel Maddow often, but I was flipping channels and saw this segment. She was just trying to get him to answer basic questions about positions he's published in a newsletter he writes, and he went off on her about trying to smear him. He was nearly screaming throughout the entire interview, and wouldn't let her ask questions. How can you smear someone with their own words? Did you say or write them, and hold those positions, or didn't you? In addition to the points you outlined above, another of his theories was that the AIDS epidemic never really happened--it was manufactured propaganda by the government. Huh...

If there was any leadership AT ALL in the Republican Party, they'd disavow this guy, but they just let him keep talking. I think the R's have lost total control of their party and message, and here we are--nut city.

You will hear nothing but crickets. It does not matter what this guy said...he's running on the Republican ticket, therefore...he's electable according to some of these crazies. As a matter of fact, they most likely did not even bother to watch the video.

You are correct. I did not watch it. I have decided to be more like the rabid left on here who never watch or listen to Rush, Beck, FOX News, etc but, comment them.

I have watched her in the past. She is not worth my time.

What lies and smears? She was asking him about his own opinions, in his own words, in his own newsletters, and quoting him verbatim.

Have I smeared you by quoting your post above?
