1. he had the patience of a saint not interrupting her diatribe of lies

thank god the host finally cut it off and let him answer

[fascisthunter]

2. it's a very effective tactic to ramble on

that way the person you are rambling to doesn't have adequate time to address all the points being spewed. When people do that, they should be immediately interrupted or cut-off.

4. A losing tactic

The more people ramble, the more chance they blurt out stupid shit and sound like an idiot. Let them ramble until they get incoherent, and then the person with the coherent answer will look that much better.

5. true true... but the rambling is used to filibuster

it has lost its muster recently, because I think those on the left have learned to counter them by interrupting them on tv and radio. The left no longer allows them to get away with it anymore.

6. Yeah, she was sure to hit every GOP talking point in her "question".

But, she's an independent of course.

8. +1 oh you noticed that shill trying to sell snake oil too?

laughably obvious

[ro1942]

3. Can't believe the host let her ramble that long

if it was a liberal point of view she would have been cut quick

[quiet.american]

7. Very effective rebuttal from Weiner. nt

The congressman argued that it is hypocritical for Senate and House members receiving "government-administered single-payer health care -- Medicare" to oppose making such coverage available to the American public.

"Even in a town known for hypocrisy, this list of 55 Members of Congress deserve some sort of prize," Weiner wrote. "They apparently think the public option is ok for them, but not anyone else."
