Chris Matthews... gotta love him.

In Reply to: Chris is on the way to a meltdown - me

I actually know him. He's like that in real life, I promise you. I didn't see this particular interview, so I can't comment on it directly. But, when Chris thinks someone is trying to evade a question, he keeps at it. True, sometimes the poor interviewee is actually trying to answer the question but can't get a word in edgewise. We have the same problem when we're with him!

He's a commentator, not a journalist. There's a certain amount of entertainment factor to his show, and MSNBC knows it. Viewers either love him or hate him, agree with him or violently disagree with him. As long as he can pull in ratings, he'll be there. If he doesn't appeal, it's easy enough to just switch him off. There are plenty of times I just smile and shake my head, "Oh, Chris is at it again!" And just click him right off.

Chris Matthews is a liberal. sm
Ronald Reagan was in the service.  So what if he wasn't in combat.  He enlisted during wartime. I commend him for that.  You might want to look at the ages of the people you are talking about, as well.  Some of them, MANY of them, were of service age in non wartime.  Bob Dole was horribly wounded in WW II. He's not on the list. You only put the Democrats who served and the Republicans who didn't.  Why did you do that?  You are right. It is of no significance.  By your reasoning, only those who have had an abortion could have an opinon about it.  Ridiculous.
Chris Matthews had a great way of
breaking it down, they could have bought and paid cash for Joe's house and had $23,500 left. Can you imagine? I wonder how many of Joe's houses the Dems could have bought with the money Obama raised over the amount he originally agreed to accept from public funding. That is, before he decided he needed to spend 7 times as much money as the pubs and put make him be the candidate to spend the most money in history on a presidential campaign? I wonder what all that money is being spent on. And, believe it or not, all of it just averaging $86 donations!
Chris Matthews...Randi Rhodes....and on and on and on...
you have them on your side too. Air America could not make it as a liberal talk radio station, so now they are the Atheist Network. Maybe that will work for them.

What I will never understand is how liberals want to expose all the hatefulness they see on the other side, yet cannot see ANY of the hatefulness on their own side. Well, let me qualify that. There is on liberal who posts here who has a grip on reality and when something it is wrong it is wrong, no matter which side it occurs on. That being said, the rest who seem to post here can see the splinter in the other side's eye but can't see the timber in their own. Frankly, for someone trying to make up their mind what liberalism really is and what it stands for...it does not present a really pretty picture.
Chris Matthews on Hillary Clinton
I Never Called Hillary 'She Devil,' Chris Matthews Says

There’s no doubt that “Hardball” host Chris Matthews used the expression “she devil” when talking about Hillary Clinton — but he insists he never called her that.


On the Nov. 18 telecast of the NBC-syndicated “Chris Matthews Show,” the host discussed Republican attacks on Hillary, who was then the Democratic presidential front-runner.


“She devil?” he said, “Republicans are absolutely demonizing Hillary Clinton.”


While he spoke, an image of Hillary appeared on screen with the words “She Devil?” below it. Later, an image of Clinton with devil horns appeared on screen.


Paul Bedard observed in U.S. News & World Report’s “Washington Whispers” column that Matthews, who has been mulling a run for the Senate in 2010, was “concerned he ruined it with the women vote.”


But Matthews now tells Bedard: “I never called her a she devil . . . You can see it is where we introduce the topics to the show.”


He claims Media Matters for America took the expression out of context.


“This stuff has been cooked up,” he said.


Media Matters spokesman J. Jioni Palmer retorted that Matthews has a pattern of “sexist comments.”


Matthews’ mouth got him into trouble back in February 2007 when he used “the f-word” while referring to President Bush’s ranch during an appearance on the “Imus in the Morning” show.


This past January he stirred up protests when he said the reason Hillary was a senator and candidate for president “is that her husband messed around.”

Hmmm.....Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann....
removed from anchor duties for election coverage and relegated to commentator only.  Talk about backlash.
That is a famous quote of Chris Matthews from MSNBC...
said when he heard Obama speak he got a thrill up his leg. No bias there. lol.
I watch Chris Matthews six days a week

(including his Sunday morning show), and I never heard him say that.  I heard him say that Africa is a continent with 50-some countries. 


Please provide a link to Matthews saying Africa is a country.


William Ayres, Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann.....

You gotta love the fact that he is actually one . . .

Gotta love these! (The rest of you,

Gotta love these drive-by posts
I love when folks stop by here, post a quick blurb. Especially when they put in nothing to support it, and they expect everyone to take it as fact. I guess we are supposed to take everything posted as fact.
You just gotta love our political machine!
And we can't forget Sonny Bono!!
Gotta love those double standards, eh?

You gotta love them greedy politicians!
'No, no, it's the wrong thing for our country to take money from taxpayers like that!'

'But, if you're gonna do it anyway, I'll take some!'

Just confirms my belief that they should all be thrown out on their rears!
Gotta love the reasoning of these pirates

'Killing our boys was aggression.'   I guess you're just supposed to pay them the money and let them keep pirating.  Nobody was ever supposed to fight back. 


And, as they have threatened to 'deal harshly' with any US or French sailors they capture in the future, is there any reason why now we should not simply hunt down and blast each and every one of them out of the water?  None that I can think of.  I think they just declared war on us. 


Typical Republicant hypocrisy. Ya gotta love it!

He questions "whether encouraging homemakers to become lawyers contributes to the common good," and then he turns around and marries a LAWYER!


This isn't surprising to me at all.  Bush's is doing nothing but taking us backwards in time, whether it regards science or civil rights.  The only area that is moving forward by leaps and bounds and progressing at an alarming rate is the price of gasoline.


Gotta love the double standards in politics.


gotta just love your out of context quotes....too bad you don't have the rest of

buy an energy-efficient car and drive back to California. One plane trip from DC to CA puts more crud in the atmosphere than I don't now how many cars in a year's time. But I don't see AlGore or RFK Jr. driving Yugos instead of flying. They might try a little "Do as I do" instead of "Don't do as I do, do as I say." It might give them a tad more credibility...? lol.
Love, love, love John Stewart. . .

the bit about the open microphone on McCain during the debate was brilliant!!! I laughed until I literally cried!!  By the way, Michelle Obama was warm, intelligent, sincere and very much First Lady material!!!


matthews
I dont watch MSNBC on TV as I dont subscribe to cable..I refuse to pay for TV and where I live in the desert we dont get many channels, however, I get most of my information of MSNBC on the net and from friends. I know, I know, even my mother from NY tells me, get cable but I wont (smile)..Anyway, the stuff I do get shows that Chris Matthews is a good reporter.  In fact, he stated he voted for Shrub (Bush) and now he seems to lean away from Shrub.  I like Matthews, I like Olbermann (a good friend grew up with him in upstate NY in Hastings on the Hudson), heck most of MSNBC I like.  As far as July 4th, I will be working..no big holiday for me this year..guess I will eat a veggie burger or veggie hot dog (I am vegetarian) and drink a brewski but that is it. 
Matthews
I guess you like that tingling running up his leg?  That's so in the tank it's just creepy (pardon that pun)!
Matthews sm

has a b_ _ _ _r fpr O. 


Remember that "thrill up his leg," or whatever?  What the heck kind of MAN would say that and be straight?  None in my world, and I know gay men!


And C. Matthews is one sorry piece of
He is definitely being paid by the DNC and paid well. He is trash.
And by that, Matthews means HIS
version of the truth!
Right, Olbermann and "tingle up my leg" Matthews.

I think it all shows that Christianity is valued with the love of the dollar, not the love of Christ

I love democrats! I love most of the past democratic presidents (sm)
I would love for there to be a good democrat I could vote for. I want good leadership and I want change. But I truly believe to purposely ignore a symbol speaks volumes. He is not just asking the symbol to wait, he is ignoring it on purpose. Avoiding it on purpose. Why do you think that is? There is a reason. Can you not see it?
Chris was excellent

pinned him to the wall like a bug (no offense to bugs out there).  Intersting also that he mentioned McCain's former policy chief (or something) Tori Clark wrote a book with the name.  I love to see the hyocrites squirm. it sends a thrill up my leg.


 


Chris is on the way to a meltdown
Not only was he rude but he's getting worse and worse as the democrats ratings keep dropping. Talk about a pit bull (without lipstick). He's attacking his guests not giving them a chance to answer the questions. That's not "pinning someone to the wall like a bug". That's just rude. He should ask the guest a question, let him answer, and then respond to his answer. To badger and not let your guest answer a question you ask while giving free reighn (sp?) to the democratic guest is just pure horse hockey. After today I no longer watch his show. I want some truth and clear cut answers and I believe every guest should be allowed to answer a question in full without the host bullying him (which by the way I do not believe Obama called Sarah a pig). Still is no excuse for Mathews to act like that. He's supposed to be a host and treat both sides fairly. That he does not do. He did this to other guests and luckily they said to him let me answer your question. MSNBCs ratings are going down the tube and they just lost one more viewer.
I liked Chris Rock's

take - reelection.  He said Obama would surely win  because what Kenyan ever lost a race?


 


Chris Dodd

"People are angry about bailouts, but would be more upset if the big 3 go under."


I hope they put his info on the news. I just can't type fast enough to cover it and don't want to put words in his mouth. The hearing was 6 hours long! Whew!


What I got from most of it was that GM and Ford have unsecured debt while Chrysler has secured debt and that the Chrysler CEO would step down if that would help his company.  Wagoner (GM) and Gettlefinger are working together and GM keeps defending the UAW.


"Bankruptcy is the wrong approach," Dodd says. "There is concensus that inaction is not an option and the concensus is that we are not going to write a check without stipulations. My sense is that I have a working situation here and I'm going to get it done.... I need the federal reserve and the treasury to step up."


On the other bailouts, "I am through giving them money. I still have 9.000 people a day losing their homes and they (I think he's talking about Paulson) still haven't done anything about it."


 


 


 


Chris Mathews

to run for office?  Old rumor, but if true I am delighted.  We are once again attracting decent, intelligent individuals with true patriotism for government service.  Obama's positive impact on our nation just keeps going and going . . .


 


why is Chris Mathews

labeled combative.  He has an opinion show.  When he asks a question and the guest regurgitates a talking point or avoids answering the question, Mathews holds his/her feet to the fire.  Remember what the press is for?  Finding the truth?


 


I love the class of liberals....just love it...
ignore the truth and attack personally. Shows a lot of tolerance.
"it tells me to love them as I would love myself"...(sm)

This must be why you so obviously love Muslims? 


You do realize that you contradict yourself on just about every other post you make?  ROFL..


Chris Wallace works for

Fox News which is a republican propaganda outlet.  An actual journalist was chosen. The Fox get it turn next week which only zealots will watch.


 


Chris Mathews says debate

can use empty chair if McCain does not show.


 


I liked Chris Rock's take on the Clintons...sm

Chris Dodd is going to be on CNBC
in a couple minutes with a press conference. Don't know what it's all about. Just caught the end of the announcement.
Chris Mathews from MSNBC said
it was a country. Funny they didn't jump down him for that. Then come to find out Gov. Palin never said it.

I would not doubt for a minute that the person putting out the rumors and cut downs of Gov. Palin is no other than John McCain. Would not put it past him.

Also, people forget she didn't ask for this. The GOP went to her and asked her to be the running mate. She's proven herself time and time again she is the person who really excited the party. When McCain failed she would bring the party back up, then they dump on her and treat her like this.

Shameful I say.
Chris isn't running for office...LOL

chris coumo up next on hannity am
talk show.
Chris was so tasteless and had the nerve to say he was trying to have dialouge...nm
I think the NYT has the right to publish any information that they can verify. If it is classified information that should not have been known to the public, the question is who leaked it?

I've heard the jist of the story but I need to read the NYT article.
This is great. I liked the original by Chris Martin sm
and Cold Play the first time I heard it. Chris Martin wrote this song for his wife Gwenyth to console her after the death of her father, when you lose something, you can't replace...I will try to fix you...tears stream down your face, when you lose something you cannot replace, tears run down your face and I will fix you... It truly sounds like he was with his wife during a really dark time for her. Really touching.
I just heard that Chris Dodd also wants to attach...
a proviso for some money to be given to certain groups...ACORN being one of them. What is up with that?? ACORN is being sued right and left for voter fraud.

The rationale for reducing the capital gains tax (for a short term, not permanently) is so that investors will be stimulated to invest again, and infuse some of THAT money back into the markets that will perhaps take at least SOME of that off ALL of us. I don't have a problem at all with a temporary reduction or even suspension of capital gains tax for a couple of months if it will reduce how much we are all on the hook for. Just my opinion.
and who is #2 on the receiving end of Chris Dodd and his cronies???? OBAMARAMA, that's who. sm
You can't call out one and not the other. If anything, they are BOTH guilty.
And who is #2 on the receiving end of Chris Dodd and his cronies???? OBAMARAMA, that's who. sm
You can't out one and not the other. They probably BOTH are guilty, but accuse them both, not just McCain.
Followed quickly by Barney Frank and Chris Dodd. nm
