Maddow isn't the first one to say it and it was hardly a rant. It sounded almost pleading.
The truth is that the GOP got it's buttocks handed to it on a plate and she and others are explaining why.
I think it was Haley Barber who said. You know you are in trouble when someone asks you how the "rape" guy is doing and you have to answer "which one?"
What? The GOP didn't get anything handed to them. Did you see the vote count? Did you see the election map of the US county by county? Obama slipped through thanks to Maddow and the rest of the media being 100% in the tank for him.

Yes, I hear what you are saying. A lot of people were disenfranchised because of Romney's implementation of Romneycare in Massachusetts. He is seen as a moderate. What really gets me as a conservative is, people are now saying the GOP should become more like the Democrats to win the hearts of women and minorities. And yet still Romney was portrayed by the liberal media not as a moderate but as a far right wing puppet.
What would be the point of that? What would be the result? A One-Party communist central government bureaucracy, and that is exactly what the elitits want.
I was particularly shocked to hear Charles Krauthammer say today that the GOP should consider amnesty with enforcement. Boehner seems ready for compromise too.
Dennis Miller said that he is comfy and that things have changed in the US and theres nothing we can do about it.
He doesn't seem to realize the communists will come for his money too.

Once again from the left accusations but nothing of substance. No reasoning, no valid arguments, just accusations. Demonizing people with no support. Can you not see what you are doing? Think people before it is to late. What happened to denying ignorance?

And Democrats didn't make this election about contraception and abortion, the GOP did.

Way to rip the nation further in two!
A fantastic example of name calling and belittling that hurts our nation so deeply it may never heal from the rift.
Keep it up OP and keep encouraging the split of our nation in two because of intolerance and a non-acceptance of people who hold different ideas than yours.
Way to heal the nation, name calling, ridiculing etc.
How do you respond when a person calls you stupid, ridicules you and puts you down and then tells you to accept their ideas as the correct one? Think about it OP.

That's really debatable, considering the Obama attack on the freedom of Catholic institutions involving testimony from Sandra Fluke and then inviting Sandra to be a key speaker at the Democratic convention.

You realize where chairman maobamas campaign slogan is from dont you? Communism is not a paranoid theory, but a reality.
WHO: Chesa Jackson Gilbert Boudin is the son of left-wing radicals and Weather Underground members Kathy Boudin and David Gilbert. His parents were incarcerated when he was fourteen months old, leaving him to be raised by Weather Underground members Bernardine Dohrn and Bill Ayers (who had then emerged from hiding). Dohrn and Ayers later adopted Boudin, but he retained a relationship with his birth mother and father. Boudin attended Yale University for his undergraduate years and attended Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar for graduate school. He speaks and writes regularly on the topic of children with incarcerated parents. He is a Latin Americanist, an anti-war activist, and a writer. He translated into English Understanding the Venezuelan Revolution: Hugo Chávez talks to Marta Harnecker published by Monthly Review Press in November 2005, and co-edited with Dan Berger and Kenyon Farrow Letters from Young Activists: Today’s Rebels Speak Out, published in November by Nation Books.

Demonizing that person is all their own doing by posting made up

What communists? Well, we could start with Van Jones, a self described communist who was recruited for the communist party while in prison. He was part of the Obama administration till he was exposed. Ok, then there's Anita Dunn, also a previous member of the admin, who addressed students saying that she just loved Chairman Mao. Valerie Jarrett and David Axelrod. Axelrod is pr guy for Obama and Jarrett is still his senior advisor. Jarrett's grandfather was a personal friend and of card carrying Frank Marshall Davis, one of Obama's very personal Marxist communist mentors even spoken of in his own book, Dreams From My Father. Obama's own mother was known to be involved in Marxist studies in a very radical school. Vernon Jarrett, Valerie's father also worked with Davis.

Here's background on Axelrod

Axelrod shares a name with a notable Bolshevik. It would however require a deeper look at ancestral roots and history to establish if there is a lineage.

Then there is Bill Ayers, a former member of Weather Underground. He and Bernadine Dohrn were involved in domestic terrorist bombings and Dohrn was a radical involved in speaking to students before the Kent State riots. They have involvement with SDS.
Bill and Bernadine raised the son of a Weather Underground couple who actually were convicted and sent to prison. His name is Chesa Boudin and he is chummy with Venezuelan socialist dictator Hugu Chavez. It is reported that Chesa is dating Natalie Portman. Surprise surprise no wonder she likes the Marxist Prez.

So is that enough of a start for you?
Communism as a viable political idea died with the Soviet Union
In March 2009 Jones was appointed by President Barack Obama to the newly created position of Special Advisor for Green Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation at the White House Council on Environmental Quality, where he worked with various "agencies and departments to advance the administration's climate and energy initiatives, with a special focus on improving vulnerable communities."[6][7] In July 2009 he became "embroiled in a controversy"[8] over his past political activities, including a public comment disparaging congressional Republicans, his name appearing on a petition for 911Truth.org, and allegations of association with a Marxist group during the 1990s.[9][10] For these issues, Van Jones was heavily criticized by conservatives.[11] Jones resigned from the position in early September 2009.[8
Jones says he became politically radicalized in the aftermath of the deadly April 1992 Los Angeles riots which erupted shortly after four L.A. police officers who had beaten the now-infamous Rodney King were exonerated in court. “I was a rowdy nationalist on April 28th,” says Jones, “and then the verdicts came down on April 29th. By August, I was a communist.”
Recalling his brief incarceration, Jones says: “I met all these young radical people of color. I mean really radical: communists and anarchists. And it was, like, ‘This is what I need to be a part of.’ I spent the next ten years of my life working with a lot of those people I met in jail, trying to be a revolutionary.”
