Wow! Tweety is ripping rience priebus's throat out on msnbc

[bushisanidiot]

He's on fire, nailing him on romney's birther joke and playing the race card by attacking welfare recipients. Awesome!

[hlthe2b]

1. Yes... Damn every DUer should be watching this... On fire, indeed!

Catch the video later, folks!

[amuse bouche]

45. It would be better

if every citizen would see it. It was a sight to behold

[goclark]

71. There is another thread that has the video!

It's here at DU and it is awesome!

[Loki]

2. Holy shit!

What a thing to behold.

[bushisanidiot]

4. I thought priebus was going to cry

He just gave up and they had to go to a break. Tweety said you want to quit because you're losing, and the people in the background applauded.

[tavalon]

14. Ha, rinsed penis taken down by the tweety bird!

Tweety blows with the wind so he must sense an Obama win in the air.

[Tennessee Gal]

3. "What's with the European thing you are pushing?"

"You are doing it right now. It's garbage!"

Go Tweety!

[amuse bouche]

5. It was magnificent

Even Brokaw got in on it. A must see for everyone.Chris said what we've been saying forever

Joe could not stop him, though he tried

Bravo Chris Bravo

[snappyturtle]

18. I agree Joe could't stop Chris. I disagree that Joe tried...he was dumbstruck, imho. t

[12AngryBorneoWildmen]

48. Brokaw is fucking blowjob moron.

Trying to pull that bullshit, "both sides are doing it", bullshit. Tom Tom, why don't you leave the stage, go home, and practice your "L's". Maybe Barbara Walters can give you some CONSTWUCTIVE CWITICISM. HOWEY HEWW. (holy hell)

[amuse bouche]

52. The fact is, he did back up Chris a bit

That alone was a huge surprise

[PearliePoo2]

6. That was GREAT!

And what I REALLY was surprised about was the audience (who had been fairly quiet) freakin' APPLAUDED Chris repeatedly!!

[CTyankee]

12. having the audience applauding must have been embarrassing to Mika and Joe!

Joe says "the American people are not gonna care about ______" when Dems have a successful attack against the 'pubs. But I've seen them broadcast in restaurants and bars before and the audience is typically AGAINST the republican talking point!

I had to get away from Rinse Peenus before this happened (I can't stand the sound of his voice) so I'll have to catch it on the video....

[PearliePoo2]

16. I was watching Scar's face during that exchange..

and he had this REALLY stupid grin on his face. They tried to shut Chris down and Chris wasn't having any part of it.
THAT was must see TV!

[CTyankee]

36. Wait til his show tonight (if it is on at 5 pm EDT, when I see it).

He'll reiterate (I hope) and keep it UP!

[ArnoldLayne]

20. I agree I cant stand to hear his voice either.

[nenagh]

7. Tweety ..just amazing ..

Must watch..

[ArnoldLayne]

8. Yes I loved it!! All Priebus could say was

garbage at the end. He will probably need a xanax and a couple of shots after that ass-reaming from Matthews.

[CTyankee]

37. He WHINED! Sort of "OK, you had your fun....(sniffle).

His voice is whiny enough just normally, but he was TERRIBLE on TV!

That's another bozo the repubs need to hide...

[julian09]

63. He is a real PeeWee Herman type, my first thought when I see him

He likes to throw stones the hide behind mothers skirt.
Mika went after him too, earlier in show. After his typical Obama attack. She said I don't want to hear about Obama, What is Romney going to do?

[Esse Quam Videri]

9. Damn, I missed it.

Switched over when I saw the threads on DU but they were heading into a commercial. Now repug apologists Gregory and Todd are on -bleck - back to my local news.

[2pooped2pop]

10. if only the media called them out on their lies all the time

This country wouldn't be in such a piss poor shape and there would be no question in the sheeple's eyes as to who would make the better president.

Armed with the truth, the people really can make a good decision. It's the lies that's got them all worked up over the wrong shit.

[KharmaTrain]

11. Rheinhold Is Out Of His Depth...

...when he steps outside of the faux noise bubble. He doesn't have the cajones to debate a Debbie Wasserman-Schultz head on (she ate him alive the one time I saw them) and hoped he had numbers to protect him and let him spew his lies and spin.

Kudos to Tweety for saying what the REAL Elephant in that room is...the blatant racism and verbose rhetoric of his corrupt and inept party. And, of course, there's Broke-craw babbling about "Democrats do it, too"...more of that bullshit false equivelency game the corporate media loves to play.

[PearliePoo2]

13. Mika?

What THE FUCK was that comment about, "thanks Chris, I think..." You owe Chris an apology for that slam.

[snappyturtle]

24. YES! What was with that? Chris' remark just showcased Mika's failure to add anything

to the conversation. I kept waiting for her to say something, anything and I bet Chris was thinking the same hoping for a smooth segway into his justifiable rant! God it was great!

She most certainly owes Chris an apology.

[RandiFan1290]

31. She was defending Rinse

Watch again. She was upset with Chris for going after him. She even defended Romney by saying "he's an awkward joker" to dismiss his birther comment.

[CTyankee]

40. She DID say that! Just watched the video. What a weak-assed response!

And the audience appaluding Tweety didn't help her and Joe's mood too much either...

[One of the 99]

43. She's a conservative and always has been.

The whole 'Mika is a liberal' thing is just an act. They think that will give Joe more credibility when she agrees with him.

[sufrommich]

46. She's actually worse than a conservative, she's a milquetoast

know nothing who's main job on that show seems to be to act as the stereotypical scolding housemother to a bunch of unruly frat boys.

[gateley]

58. +1

[DaDeacon]

15. Wtf got into him...the truth.

I had to post you just bet me to it, damn he got feed his ass! Then something the RNC didn't think would happen did the people clapped for the truth! The RNC is in more trouble than they want to believe.

[scheming daemons]

21. it was a "Will McAvoy, episode 1" moment

[Tom Rinaldo]

22. Chris has known a lot of high level Republicans personally

Many he has known and liked as people. That used to be more common in the political era when he earned his stripes. So he defends many Republicans as being patriotic Americans who love their country and their community and want what is best for the public - though opinions will differ etc,

I think Mathews personally liked George W. Bush and thought that his attempt to be a "compassionate" conservative had some sincerity to it. But he hates what the Republcan Party is turning into now. It deeply offends him to see them cynically playing Americans off against each other. Romney has mortally wounded Mathew's sense of civility in politics, and he is pissed. Mathews buys the American dream and senses that Romney and team are content with burying it for most of us as long as they can prosper. That's my hit anyway.

[longship]

38. I like your response.

I am an old Dem who sometimes have voted Rep. But, there's always a reason. For instance, when I lived in Kansas and was even a Dem party officer, I voted for Nancy Landon Kassebaum. Twice!! Over the Dem opponent. Why? Because she was much more liberal than the Dem. And because I recognized the value of having a liberal in the Republican caucus.

But, like Tweety, I am done with that cross-aisle politics. I haven't voted for a single Republican this century, nor will I.

I have always liked Tweety, although I have disagreed with some of what he says. Nobody's perfect and Matthews' heart and soul has always been in the right place. Just maybe now he has the permission to say so.

[sufrommich]

47. I agree. nt

[TahitiNut]

77. True dat. Matthews has Republicans in his immediate family.

He is accustomed to dealing with people he loves in a civil manner, and I doubt very much that his family GOPhers stoop to the "Southern Strategy" of racism, bigotry, and talibornagainism that has taken over the GOP in the last 30 years. Folks who're "Eisenhower era" Republicans are foreigners in their own party. IMHO, this is the EVIL of partisanship where the misplaced "loyalty" to party trumps principles and humane stances. I eschewed "Democrats" in the days of Jim Crow and could NEVER offer my support for those bigots. It's why I couldn't bring myself support Jimmy Carter and had a very hard time coming around to the Clinton/Gore ticket. I LIVED in the south for a while during Jim Crow -- it was HORRIBLE. We're now seeing a Democratic Party that's largely to the right of the Eisenhower era GOP!

Tweety loves the "game" of politics ... but draws a bright line at racism.

[riverbendviewgal]

32. Maybe Chris is watching The Newsroom

You know his son has a minor acting role in it....It could be he is realizing that the fictional Newsroom actually acts like the way a real newsroom should be working.

[CTyankee]

42. Tweety has been getting more and more pissed about this birther stuff on his show I've

noticed. I think he was gunning for that little prick, waiting to take his shot. What are Mika and Scab gonna to about it? They can't fire him. He's gonna be a thorn in their sides during this whole RNC fiasco...YAY!

[bushisanidiot]

50. Tweety was definitely gunning for him

While priebus was repeating the lie that President Obama "raided" Medicare to pay for "obamacare", tweety looked like he was about to pounce, but held his tongue.. For a few minutes anyway. And once priebus tried to blow off romneys birther "joke", tweety couldn't hold back anymore. I think it was just one lie too many for him to be a non-journalist like the rest of them on the panel.

I hope that tweety wanders around the convention looking for priebus so he can make him answer why the republicans insist on playing the race card in the year 2012.

[CTyankee]

79. Stalk the little pisher! Go for it, Tweety!

[greenymac]

17. I absolutely loved it!

I'm glad I woke up when I did and turned on the TV.

[maddezmom]

19. link to video here

[reflection]

25. Wow. He really took it to him.

Beatdown.

[snappyturtle]

30. THANK you....so wanted to hear it again! nt

[Waiting For Everyman]

33. That's a keeper. Kudos to Chris, and thanks maddezmom! n/t

[NNN0LHI]

41. Thanks for posting that

Chris is really pissed about something. He must know something about Romney that the public isn't aware of to go off like that.

Don

[uponit7771]

54. WOOOOOWWW!! Don't make Chris Angry, you wont like it when he's angry

[latinattack78]

23. Will Mcavoy Harnessed!

I thought I was still watching last nights episode of Newsroom for a moment lol.

EPIC must see tv and I'm so glad I got to see the worm squirm!

[cindyperry2010]

26. somebody

make sure a link of it is up PLEASE

[snappyturtle]

34. See #19! nt

[murray hill farm]

27. It was a wonderful thing to see!

GO Chris Matthews!!!

[highplainsdem]

28. Loved it! WTG, Chris!

[RandiFan1290]

29. Even Mika tried to defend Rinse

When they were talking about the race card and Mitt's comment about the birth certificate. Mika tried to defend Mitt by saying "because he's an awkward joker"
You can see her getting upset with Chris for going after their precious guest.
Mika doesn't fool this kid. She's as bad as Scar boy.

[ewagner]

59. yes she did...

and Preibis tried to jump on the "joke" meme and Chris jammed it down his throat....Mika threw Preibis a life line and he took it...foolishly

[spanone]

35. ol priebus thought he was in safe territory....he's one piece of shite

[rocktivity]

39. VIDEO'S UP!!!

Thanks to DU-er FourScore!

51. Good video, but there was more!

[rocktivity]

64. FourScore updated

and so did I!


rocktivity

[bushisanidiot]

68. Awesome!

The end was the best part. You could almost see preibus tuck his tail between his legs as he prayed for mercy from having to give a real answer about republicans racist tactics.

[bushisanidiot]

74. I can't stop watching this!

Love it!

[sufrommich]

44. It was a beautiful thing,indeed. nt

[steve2470]

49. Bear with me a moment here...

Could it be *gasp* that Matthews is thinking of his overall legacy in media ? He's going to quit one day and he has to live with himself and public perception.

I'm happy to be corrected if I'm wrong.

[gateley]

53. I think he's genuinely outraged at the Obama-anti-American crap.

[amuse bouche]

56. Since his son

has a part in Newsroom, I think he has watched it many times

I don't care where he found his spine, but he has been absolutely disgusted with the Rethugs this election and
has no problem saying so

[uponit7771]

61. I think he's going to punch one of them in the mouth here soon

[amuse bouche]

70. I hope not

They would call for his head and I enjoy the verbal punch so much. It leaves a long lasting sting

[uponit7771]

60. I think he's REALLY upset at the voter suppression, he's REALLY not happy about it

[ewagner]

55. Just watched the video

..Rinse Penis was taken aback and decided the only way out was to attack Matthews (which he will do ceaselessly during the rest of the day)....he was very uncomfortable and calculating in his head what the impact of Chris' comments were going to be....

talk about getting called out for "getting caught with your hand in the cookie jar!!!!!"

[brewens]

57. The irony is that attacking "welfare" recipients shouldn't be playing the race card

but they think it is. Most are poor white people, many of whom do work. They just imagine it's minorities.

I took diversity training a few years ago at the blood center where I work. the had us in groups playing a Jeopardy style game. One question was, what ethnic group has the most people on welfare, white, black or hispanic? I told my group it was white people and it wasn't even close. I normally work at a small remote site on mobiles, so the people in my group didn't really know me well or trust me to know the answer. I can't remember what answer they chose but they overruled me and blew it.

Another question was what percentage of people in the USA are gay? I told them 10%. I don't remember what the other choices were. I said that even if you disagree, the accepted figure is 10% and you hear it all the time. They blew that one too. This at a business where the majority are women and is considered to be quite progressive. I can only imagine what you'd get at a more redneck staffed business.

[uponit7771]

62. +1, they are perceptions mostly pushed by conservatives!! That's what ticks me off

[brewens]

65. White people on their state food assistance programs actually don't know "welfare" means

them. If I were to call my girlfriends daughter a "welfare momma", I'd be banned from their house for life. Four births paid for by the state, WIC, Medicaid for the kids and food assistance. Yet she is an evangelical christian conservative. Go figure.

I was right here when she was on the phone trying to convince her mom to vote for McCain so that Obama wouldn't get it.

[bushisanidiot]

66. True, but republicans have driven the national conversation

In such a way that it is (wrongly) accepted that welfare recipients are mostly minorities.

They've also driven the conversation on health care so that the affordable care act is commonly referred to as "Obama care". In fact, priebus said in this exchange that 'it's called Obama care'.

They've also driven the conversation so that it's commonly accepted that social security is "running out of money".

They just repeat lies, without being strongly challenged, and the lies become accepted as truth.

And I know I'm preaching to the choir.

[brewens]

69. The "liberal media" myth was their first major accomplishment. Now

if it's not strictly right-wing propaganda, it's liberal lies.

Most people, even some on our side, don't fully understand what a straight news story vs editorial opinion is. I spent three years in high school on a true college level journalism program. National Scholastic Achievement award for the best high school newspaper in the country, for the 13th year in a row when I graduated. As a rookie sophomore, I and everyone else got busted repeatedly for injecting opinion into news stories we were working on. You really can't help it. It takes practice to not do it. My grammar doesn't always reflect the training these days. I literally went 20 years without typing anything at one stretch. It's easy to forget the basics.

I've tried to explain to right wingers that journalists at one time, probably were mostly liberal, but that didn't mean they wouldn't give you the straight news. Wealthy people and business men didn't exactly encourage their kids to go into journalism. It's a rough way to make a living starting out as a cub reporter. We really don't have the kind of newspaper industry I'm talking about anymore anyway.

It used to be that the people on TV came up through the ranks, starting in newspapers or small TV stations to make the big time. They definitely would have tended to be liberal. It's not really that way now.

[uponit7771]

73. +1

[mfcorey1]

67. This was classic, beautiful, necessary, and a spanking that the rethugs deserve.

[Greybnk48]

72. Chris Matthews is several rungs higher on my respect ladder today.

He pissed me off royally with his dogged hatred of the Clintons. And lost me, I thought, all together when he crawled up Dubya's butt. However, he did hate Cheney, so I hung on by a thread because I never thought he was a bad man, a la LImbaugh, Weiner, Beck, etc. who are evil.

Today he redeemed himself in spades. It was doubly delightful for me, and I'm sure others in my situtation, to see him call out that sniveling little rat-fucker Priebus who is unfortunately from Wisconsin. This is the ugliest group of people in Wisconsin that I can ever recall and he's a ring leader.

[bagimin]

75. Yea Tweety

looks like he's grown a pair.

[avebury]

76. K&R nt

[Raffi Ella]

78. I just watched the video-

Chris Matthews!!!

"Because you're losing that's why," BITCH. Ha. And the people APPLAUDED!

Moment of levity my ass. Is he proud that no one has ever called him a N*, too Priebus? It's a disgusting pathetic EMBARRASSMENT to America that any Candidate would even THINK to refer to the birther bullshit in a joking manner.

No rational intelligent person wants to encourage or nurture THAT mindset in America. But the reTHUGlican teaparty flip flop etcha sketch Candidate went there. Disgusting moment in America in history! Shameful!

Way to go Chris Matthews, Thank You SO much.
