"I hate her. I hate her. All that she stands for." Chris Matthews speaking of Hillary Clinton

[fightindonkey]

He has totally gone insane, and MSNBC needs to throw him off the network. This guy is going to end up blowing his head off on national television. What on earth is he doing??!

[robbedvoter]

1. His actual words? Today?

[Double T]

35. Check out this video. Tweety has lost his frigging mind.

Only a lunatic would come up with this bull.

UNBELIEVABLE!!

[neutron]

43. MSNBC should cut him loose

5 or 6 years ago he had 3 guests on Hardball. They all sat
around laughing and trashing HRC.

I heard that he is grinding the axe because Clinton didn't hire
him as press secretary.

He's a creepy crawler. Pretended to be liberal, then had
Swiftboaters on every night to bash Kerry.

2. I hate violence but I would gladly watch him....

blow his head off.

[Xipe Totec]

8. If a hemorrhoid ruptures, it could blow his brains out (nt)

[1corona4u]

16. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAhahahaha hahahahaha....

I'll bring the popcorn!!!

[Virginia Dare]

3. If that's what he actually said, then I agree..

he would seem to be exhibiting signs of some sort of mental and professional breakdown.

[rocktivity]

15. It may be a physical breakdown as well--he's a diabetic.

:headbang:
rocknation

[opihimoimoi]

26. Diabetis doesn't disable thoughts and thinking..He is Imploding and last night was series indication

[Virginia Dare]

32. If you're an uncontrolled diabetic, it can effect you mentally....n/t

[Pathwalker]

38. The heck it doesn't. In fact, it's one of the signs

your suger's out of whack. I am a diabetic, and I was taught to always check your blood sugar if you're uncontrollably angry. Sorry, you're wrong.

[Old and In the Way]

39. Had an uncle (a general practitioner) who had severe diabetes.

When he was out of balance, insulin-wise, he'd start acting drunk or like he was tripping. Definitely can have an effect on your personality when your blood sugar is out of control.

[opihimoimoi]

41. I have had Diabetes for 25+ years and despite a few episodes of Hypo

glycemic...My brain is just fine....but then thats me. I never knew guys like Tweety would allow himself to implode on live TV.

[Renew Deal]

4. Is this happening right now?

Are you for real?

[K Gardner]

5. If this is not an actual, documentable quote, it needs to be gone from this board.

[mzmolly]

6. Can we get some more info please?

:shrug: When was this said?

[polichick]

7. He's irrational when it comes to the Clintons...

Just a couple of days ago, he pinched her cheek ~ and said he really likes her in person.

[suston96]

13. He pinched her cheek? I thought she stroked his cheek....

I cannot believe he would use the word "hate" on the air.

[polichick]

22. Seems to have been a two-way cheek fest...

The guys were ribbing him about it on msnbc last night. It really is awful if he's using that word!

[Sanity Claws]

29. He pinched her on the cheek first

She then rubbed her cheek against him and patted him dismissively on the upper arm, then walked away.
I supposed rubbing her cheek against his would be an improvement over what I would have done. I would have slugged him.

[William769]

9. I wonder which DU member he is posting under.

[Renew Deal]

12. Sounds like you.

[William769]

18. Now theres a oxymoron statement.

[Renew Deal]

19. .

:D

[William769]

20. Have you figured out yet what it is?

[Adelante]

10. There will be a transcript and we'll see nt

[Bitwit1234]

11. I'm telling you

this guy has the biggest "you know what" on for Hillary. Of all the candidates since George Washington he is constantly and everylastingly talking about her. She ought to have given him a big big smooch and cooled him down, so he wouldn't have had to run off and take a shower..

If the old adage ever proved more potent it does with him about Hillary

"I THINK THOU DOST PROTEST TOO MUCH"......

[Beacool]

25. Yep, she was right when she said that she didn't know what to do with obsessive men.

Tweety is definitely obsessed with her, even if he lamely denied it when she went up to him and patted his cheek. Another one who has been obsessed with her for years is Dick Morris. The hooker who he had the toe sucking session with, said that he would often mention the (then) First Lady and that he confessed to her that he had sexual fantasies about Hillary.

Ergo, like all rejected a-holes everywhere, they both do nothing but bash her at every opportunity. Even though, I almost fell off my chair when I heard Morris last night praise her and say that he had never seen such a comeback in all his political years. Go figure!!

Men........


:shrug:

[wyldwolf]

14. but he loves Obama, and they stand for the same things...

:shrug:

[Jane Austin]

40. What Tweety loves is great sweeping symbolism.

He's always rhapsodizing about some Big Theme that he imagines will be some Huge Turning Point in History - and HE WAS THERE!

Not only was he there, but he called it first!

It's usually some theme that fits in with his schoolboy version of Great American Themes, and it's usually a visual.

So all his fidgeting in his seat over supposedly heroic men has, I think, to do with patriotic movies and books from his youth that made icons of heroic men.

He doesn't seem to snap to nuances and fine distinctions, or barely noticeable changes that grow into much larger ones.

Instead, he hews hard to the heroic icons of his youth: Hero aviator landing on aircraft carrier, package a-bulging in case you forgot the Man part, to wild applause.

And there's the bow-legged, big-belt-buckled, fake cowboy, arms at the ready to grab invisible six-shooters. That's an American icon, too.

And so is the young, talented man who overcomes his mixed-race upbringing to excel at Harvard Law, become a young Senator and sweep his way to the Presidency in one uninterrupted roll. That's an American icon, too, the unlikely boy who is smart, works hard, and rises to high office here in the Greatest Nation on Earth, the Land of Opportunity. (See Lincoln, Abe)

The fact that he has overcome the indigenous racism of our country to do it all adds to the story, and is evocative of the Childhood of Famous Americans series, that Tweety probably lapped up in grade school. I know I did, and the stories of the slaves and former slaves who achieved greatness in America gave me tears and chills up my spine in admiration of their Triumph.

Tweety seems like a pretty smart guy whose life is largely unexamined, so he has these outbursts that betray the contradictions in his psyche that he hasn't worked out through thought, friendship or therapy.

He wants to be a small-d democrat, but his Daddy was a died-in-the-wool Republican, so when it comes down to it, Tweety will always be a Republican at heart, but with contradictory outbursts of populist, democratic beliefs because he is smart enough to know that Republican dogma is mostly selfish crap.

I don't have time to list all the ways he betrays the conflicts of his inner self and you probably know them all anyway, so won't go on with examples.

Anyway, I believe that it's not just Tweety "loving" Bush, or McCain, or Obama or whoever the Midway Arcade Shooting Gallery of His Mind, pops up as the next target for his wild-ass aim. Rather it's whoever taps into the archetypes and stereotypes, particularly the Great American Icons, waiting at the ready in his unconscious mind to spring into life to validate that A Great Moment in American History Has Arrived.

And Tweety (in his own mind) was not only Witness to History, but he wants to be the one who described it and who named it.

Well, that's my take, anyway.

[neutron]

44. Nah

You're too nice.
He just wants to get HRC beaten.

17. A quote from the nineties? nt

[SaveElmer]

21. From 2001...link below

http://mediamatters.org/items/200712180005

[musicblind]

23. yep

Don't know if this quote is true... but I could honestly BELIEVE he would say it. I am so torn when I watch MSNBC. I am a big Matthews fan, and a big Hillary fan and ... well ... watching his show has become frustrating to say the least.

[droidamus2]

24. Another One

I don't know about that quote but I saw him say the following on the Joe Scarborough morning Tuesday show on MSNBC. To paraphrase, The only reason Hillary Clinton became a senator in New York and the only reason she is a viable presidential candidate is because people feel sorry for her because Bill cheated on her. It didn't appear to me that he was trying to be funny he looked pretty serious about the comment.

[Jane Austin]

27. Talking Points Memo has the video of Tweety this morning.

You can hear someone (Mika Brezsinski?) trying to break in in the background.

[neutron]

45. Thank God for Talking Points

dKos has tanked into overgrown 10 year olds.

[DivorcingNeo]

30. and I believe there's some truth to it.

In the back of my mind, I've always believed that since she ran for the Senate. I actually fell into that sympathy, especially being a divorcee who can empathize with betrayal. I couldn't imagine it being so public, that had to have been uber humiliating. As a woman, I believe her political success is a sort of first wives club story. A woman's revenge and triumph.

However that is not how I pick my Presidents.

[Little Star]

33. I saw that this am. He is a very sick F...

[Freddie Stubbs]

28. I thought that the MSM wanted Hillery to be the nominee?

:shrug:

[no name no slogan]

31. Why do you people WATCH THIS CRAP?

It's like Jenny Jones but not as classy

[Rock_Garden]

34. He's reading from BillO's playbook.
