CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: Obamacare had already alienated the right for reasons of ideology, government overreach. The incompetence of the rollout alienated everybody regardless of ideology because this is a government that can't shoot straight. But I think the most important new element and the reason Obama is at a new low is the NSA. And the reason is

SEAN HANNITY: You have spoken out. Ted Cruz has spoken out. Bobby Jindal has spoken out. And, obviously, the country is speaking out about this. I want your thoughts on this. SARAH PALIN: Well, this is all about freedom, free speech. So many American families have spilled blood and treasure to guarantee Phil Robertson and everybody else's right

ANN COULTER: He says you start with homosexuality, from there you go to bestiality, to having sex with this woman and that woman, and, look, the straight Christian, and I might add Judeo-Christian doctrine – sorry, no fornication. That's what the good book says. And to just cite standard morality that has been around for thousands of years an

GREG GUTFELD: What should we talk about today? Oh yeah, A&E has suspended Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson for his opinion on gays. Now you can call this a free speech issue but it’s really not. Robertson can say whatever he wants, just not there for a while. However, you can call the network cowardly, after all, they knew who Phil was and

JIM VANDEHEI: I think the point, Jim, that you raised is a good one. If this is the kind of strategy behind promoting and marketting this law, it is not a good sign for Democrats. It's one of the most flawed rollouts in the history of mankind. But go to the poll you guys were talking about earlier, the fact is if they don't get young people wear

JON SCOTT, FNC: The president is quoted as saying, Jonah, if I've got to fight another three years to make sure this law works, that's what we'll do. Well, he's had the last three years or more to make this law work. What's he going to do for the next three? JONAH GOLDBERG: Talk a lot more. I mean, this is the fundamental problem with the guy -

Dan Savage weighs in on the "Duck Dynasty" debate saying Phil Robertson's racist words were worse than his anti-gay ones. DAN SAVAGE: I actually thought what he said about African-Americans in the South under Jim Crow was so much more offensive.

CNN reports on insurers dumping doctors from their networks and other Obamacare woes.

RUSH LIMBAUGH: Now, Phil Robertson, I don't know him, and I never heard of Duck Dynasty until the reports not long ago about what a great ratings success it was. I downloaded some episodes from iTunes. I've been watching them periodically, helter-skelter, here and there. And you know what's clear to me? Now, Robertson's apologized, by the way.

MICHELLE OBAMA: The words that come to mind for me are peace of mind. And what the Affordable Care Act provides and can provide for so many families out there is peace of mind. This isn't about politics; it’s about making sure that every family has the peace of mind to know that if a child gets sick, or someone loses a job, or someone has an i

The Senate appears posed to go home for the holidays without extending unemployment benefits for millions of Americans who have been unable to find jobs. Ezra Klein, Dedrick Muhammad and Alexis Goldstein discuss it with Chris Hayes.

O'REILLY: Right now the median income in USA is slightly more than $52,000. That means half of us earn more than that half less. Only one percent of the population is truly financially independent. Yes, we are a rich nation but the cost of living well is out of sight.

Shannon Bream hosts the panel in a discussion about the self-billed "most transparent administration in history."

Chris Matthews talks about "fear, downright fear," which he calls "the real cause of the nation’s rightward shift to all the craziness" and says the only solution is for "those of us in the center or on left to get control of our government, firm rational progressive grown-up control of the budget, the debt, the border, the healthcare system."
