Hey Chris Matthews

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Go Cheney yourself...


I made a mistake for thinking you were on "our side" when you attacked the Swift Boat liars...


I was wrong...


Keep pimping for the Republicans.... You deserve each other... I hear you like to travel.... Why don't you travel to Iraq and venture outside the Green Zone if you have the nads... Yeah you have nads, the size of raisins....



on edit- He is a jerk.... How this cretin ever worked for Jimmy Carter and Tip O'Neil is beyond me...

Edited remarks.... My anger had initially got the better of me....

1. It's all about the money

He said as much in a speech that a DUer went to the other day.

2. He's a giggling jerkoff with no center. n/t

3. Chris just bought the Nantucket house he's been w**ring for --

he can hang out up there now with Russert, and the neighbor who purchased both their souls, Jack Welch.

Remember that DUer report from a college campus a few days ago? Chris said most "journalists" today are careerists, i.e., paid hacks who say or write what they're asked to. Problem is, that's not what the Founders had in mind; with careerist journalists, the system won't work for long --

4. Gotta agree w/ you there . . .

b/c Chris Matthews was a top aide to Tip O'Neill, Speaker of the House, and a good solid liberal. You cannot get much more liberal than Tip. As well as Jimmy Carter, a speech writer for Carter.

Now, Matthews is burning hides called Liberals? And spewing hate and discontent on a 24/7 in running-dog competition w/ other jerking heads? Hate and discontent as "entertainment." The Jerry Springers of alleged "news" tabloids not satiated until they hit the lowest possible denominator for ratings sales. It doesn't make any sense other than money. Simple, really.

I don't believe that our Founding Fathers envisioned that for our First Amendment's free speech prong.

5. Just one good point made by Matthews:

He is definitely anti-Iraq, and he did plug his own opinion by Hardballing the young college Republican who wouldn't admit that Iraq was a mistake -- even with the intelligence we have today. Matthews sat on him until the boy admitted that Sadaam had nothing to do with 9/11.

Matthews also is pushing the fact that there's tape out there on Cheney showing how compelling the V.P. was in his push for war. I think the Dems should put together an ad comparing Cheney's pre-war performance against statements he made in the debate. Is persuasiveness a quality you want in a leader when someone wilfully ignores the facts? Remember, he's a L/libertarian and that means that the end justifies the means. Where Cheney is leading, we should not follow.

6. My e-mail to Hardball

I was pretty disappointed how eager you were to declare Cheney the clear winner when you were so hesitant last Thursday when there was no debate on who was more effective. On Tuesday night, both candidates traded sharp barbs, neither was bumbling and stumbling (though Cheney’s hands over his mouth muffled a few answers towards the end), and nobody made any huge gaffes. There was NO CLEAR WINNER. Every other network seemed to project this, as did instant polling – or most seemed to give the edge to Edwards. Yet you and your panel, led most vociferously by a clearly partisan Joe Scarborough who was looking to regain favor with Republicans disgusted with his condemnation of Bush’s performance, immediately lavished your praise on Cheney, no hesitation, no qualifications. You let and reinforced a clearly biased Scarborough dictate the verdict on that debate, and you continue your defensiveness towards a perception of liberal bias post Michelle Malkin / Zell Miller (Bill Maher pointed this out to you also). It was a mistake on your part, and a clear bias of analysis compared to how you reacted last week. Normally I am more impressed with your stance than any political news analyst, but I think lately you’ve lost your way.

Keep in mind that Edwards has a populist message, it doesn’t resonate with beltway insiders who make well above the median salary of the average American, so you have a hard time relating to his connection to the middle class. You may have a working class history, but that belief system tends to dull as you rest on million dollar annual salaries and limo rides into your NYC studios. You and your panel don’t have to worry about making that mortgage payment, that electricity bill, or that doctor bill, so your perception is automatically flawed towards following the arguments of a Washington insider like Cheney – someone you can more relate to.
