Re: Chris Matthews taking Jeff Weaver to task yesterday

[sarae]

Apparently some BS supporters took issue with it and are now petitioning to get Chris Matthews fired. Seriously.

1. I bet Chris is really

scared and .. had a good laugh. lol

[sarae]

4. Right?

I'm sure Chris has dealt with far worse...

[BlueCaliDem]

2. Uh...a petition with horrible spelling and grammar, and Matthews is supposed to take it seriously??

Bwaaaahahahaha!

I know you not that incompetent to see this Dying horse spreading his diseses to your entire network if you do not start waking up to the Future MSNBC will not be apart of it!!

This is just embarrassing.

[sarae]

5. Embarrassing is a good way to describe it.

[BlueCaliDem]

7. In my honest opinion, I believe it's the *only* way to describe it. He should've had his petition

proofed and edited before submitting it. Ugh.

backatcha, sarae!

[Mr Maru]

10. Oh jeez! That looks like my spelling in the 9th grade

And I required, uh, remedial assistance.

Too much

[BlueCaliDem]

12. LOL! You're too cute, Mr Maru. eom

[displacedtexan]

14. I was about to ask if these petitioners are over the age of 12.

This is humiliating and just plain sad.

[SharonClark]

23. That was my favorite post as well

[caquillo]

3. Jesus! These people are thin-skinned

They would never survive a general election, especially against the GOP machine.

[sarae]

6. Yep...

and they'd never survive as HRC supporters.

[BlueCaliDem]

8. Word, sarae. eom

[Mr Maru]

11. You have a point I haven't seen brought up before.

Maybe some of them just aren't tough enough to be Hillary supporters, so they just landed naturally with other people just as thin skinned as they are. Could be.

[BlueCaliDem]

13. Being tough-enough makes me proud to be a Hillary Clinton supporter - among other

more politically sane reasons.

[sheshe2]

19. Being tough-enough

[BlueCaliDem]

25. Hah! LOVE it!

[sarae]

16. Excellent point!

I'll take that characterization. It's not easy to support the candidate who's gotten the most negative coverage and least positive coverage of any other candidate:

9. I can just hear his bark of a laugh at reading that.

[sarae]

17. Now that you say that, I can hear it, too. :)

[beachbum bob]

15. ....cry.... complain..... sue....

runaway sense of entitlement best describes this

[Surya Gayatri]

18. Cut and paste of the "petition", composed by a basement-dwelling illiterate. Be afraid, Chris! LOL!

Another instant Bernie & Bros. classic:

He has Insulted VIEWERS and Supporters that do NOT agree to be for Hillary Clinton. He constantly interrupts guest that DO NOT AGREE WITH HIS BIASED VIEWS. If MSNBC has NOT seen how He and others on the Network has LOST Viewership, THIS IS NOT A WINNING WAY. To alienate the FUTURE viewers While The Young Turks Network Grows. I know you not that incompetent to see this Dying horse spreading his diseses to your entire network if you do not start waking up to the Future MSNBC will not be apart of it!!

29. This might have been written by that same Bernie fan that does the youtube

vids posted at DU. Can't recall her name. But thats who this reminds me of.

[Surya Gayatri]

30. "The Sane Progressive", as she styles herself? Reads the way she talks, so maybe! LOL!

[sarae]

31. ughhhhhhhh

[puffy socks]

38. This woman is insane.

That is all.

[pandr32]

20. Good grief!

[sheshe2]

21. They are such weak kneed cry babies.

[DemonGoddess]

22. alright then

thin skinned bunch aren't they?

[SharonClark]

24. Arrogance and bad spelling are not a pretty combination

[CrowCityDem]

26. How about a petition to get Weaver some media self-defense lessons?

[sarae]

28. HAH!

Matthews was batting Weaver around like a toy.

Or maybe a petition to get people to stop whining? Or a petition to stop more petitions? So many possibilities...

[Agnosticsherbet]

27. Sanders supporters coming to the defense of a 1% multi-millionaire enriched by Sanders.

There is an irony in there somewhere.

[Lil Missy]

32. They are so thin-skinned - right out of the Republican playbook.

Amazing how the double standard works with them.

[Stuckinthebush]

33. The use of all caps makes it SERIOUS!!1

Morons.

[TexasTowelie]

34. It has 343 signatures.

Isn't that special?

[Buzz cook]

35. Chris Matthews should be fired.

The guy has a rich history of being a lying whore. He's a disgusting sexist and suck up to power.

Just because his current incarnation seems slightly leftist is no reason to forget the right wing smears he used in the 90s and 00s.

Kick him out so he can spend his days staring and Bush's package.

[charlyvi]

36. Even if you think so,

this childish petition ain't gonna do it.

[trueblue2007]

37. i can't stand JEFF WEAVER. he seems very sleazy to me.
