   Wow, I’m impressed, Max! You did FANTASTIC. Scarborough seemed to realize that you know what you’re talking about.

   I appreciate that you’re spreading the word about what’s going on with the Republican Party. People need to be aware and pay attention.

   BTW, I purchased your book and look forward to having you sign it when you’re in Anchorage.

   Thanks so much for all you!

   Signed,
   A Maxbot. (Like a Palinbot, but better and smarter.)

   Max,

   Good interview. Just when the field of political talent seemed to be going stale, you emerge. Many of us get annoyed at the same BS rhetoric coming from the republicans and their pundit apologists. Thankfully, the likes of you, Andrew Sullivan and TPM are there to call BS when you see it.

   Please keep up the good work.

   Jon

   I caught you on Morning Joe. I don’t know if Joe was in denial. I think he was challenging you. It was a good conversation and I’m looking forward to when you return.
   I’ve been saying much of what you’re saying for some time; reading some of Kristols stuff and Dobson and Robertson.
   The Christian Coalition and Ralph Reed are corrupt. It amazes me that my church still passes out the Christian Coalition pamphlets at election time. The churches should be taxed for doing that.
   We have a dominionist battle going on in our courts in Orlando about Rifka Bary, the daughter of a Muslim family from Ohio. She’s been caught lying. John Stemberger, her religious attorney is making wild accusations in court, some of which have proved false, such as: The FBI is investigating the mosque in Ohio that the Bary’s SOMETIMES attend. The FBI DENIES they are investigating the mosque.
   An evangelical pastor and his wife helped Rifka flee to Florida without telling the authorities for 2 weeks that they were harboring a runaway minor.

   I don’t watch Morning Joe, so I don’t know, but does he always throw in a last second BS line like he did in this interview? “I don’t think you think that.”~Regarding Christians having the right to voice their faith-based opinions in the ‘public square’.

   Joe comes off as a real bully in this clip. That’s too bad, I was starting to like him for some of his moderate views. What’s up with the scowling female sitting next to him? They are obviously trying to use their body language and facial expressions to dominate you, which I think is pathetic.

   Max, you are one rude individual. Joe tried to be gracious but you think you have it all figured out. Joe should have kicked you off the set when you cried like a little girl about being a guest and the right to talk over the host.

   I would like to have seen you run off the set during the break.

   I’m a fan of Morning Joe (the show), and I really enjoyed your performance with Joe. Perhaps his recent surgery had him off his game somewhat, but clearly, you nailed him……and with Tom Brokaw sitting nearby, had to be embarrassing for him. Sometimes the show gets to be too much “all about Joe,” so I appreciate your injecting some close order combat into the game. Way to go.

   I don’t think Mika would appreciate being referred to as “Mike”

   Joe has his fist up Mika’s puppet hole and she nods when he burps. What was his surgery anyway? I heard he had a yeast infection.
