Chris Mathews just made a COMPLETE ass out of a GOP pundit re B*s attack on Obama

[WA98296]

It was great fun to watch.

[Oceansaway]

1. i agree, Tweets was getting pissed....n/t

[mikiturner]

20. Link to video

Here. Must watch.

[jefferson_dem]

31. Wow! That was total badass! Go Tweety!

Thanks for the link.

[Beaverhausen]

39. WOW! Thanks for that link

:hi:

[myrna minx]

47. That was amazing. Thank you so much for the link.

[ladywnch]

48. OMG!!!!!!!! that was some of the best video I've seen! This MUST be posted

on the home page! EVERYONE needs to see this guy being embarrassed by tweety no less! You have to be pretty damn dumb to be trounced by tweety! :ROFLMAO:

What a complete and utter moron!

[IsItJustMe]

95. Correction:

What a complete and utter moran!

[calmblueocean]

53. That is CLASSIC. One for the ages.

I only wish it was someone higher up in the Republican chain of command.

[Doityourself]

59. Has anyone found Tweety & Buchanan's battle of words from yesterday?

[anonymous171]

103. Do you mean Pat's meltdown?

[casus belli]

116. ..self delete..respoonded to wrong post. PS Thanks for link :)

[Doityourself]

119. Thanks

[Neshanic]

65. OMG! This guy is a fucking idiot. How Mathews held on so long without going insane is beyond me.

[knight_of_the_star]

98. That was awesome!!!

That idiot was spinning faster than an F5 Tornado and Tweety wouldn't let him do it, I didn't think he was capable of that!

[Viking12]

123. Thanks. That was spectacular! nt

[helderheid]

126. Welcome to DU and WOW!!!!

That was AWESOME.

[jezebel]

2. I couldn't believe it. Tweety was making sense and he was PISSED. nt

[WA98296]

7. He is capable, but he twists and turns with the wind. Liked the backbone today.

[PoliticalAmazon]

26. As the Chinese say, "A banner that blows to any wind." n/t

[Political Heretic]

108. He twists because its truly in love with the politics, rather than with certain values.

He's a true lover of the political game, and he analyzes from all sides, switches sides, plays devils advocate, things of strategy, etc. etc. I'm NOT saying he's brilliant. Hell, I'm not even defending him. I'm just observing that the guy loves politics.

[Pirate Smile]

3. That was amusing.

[K Gardner]

4. Something seems to have happened to Chris in the past week or so.. he got

into it with Mika on Morning Joe last week over her constant spinning for Hillary; he got into it with Buchanan last night; and this interview was absolutely brutal ! I don't think Matthews is going to let these RW idiots get by with name-calling and spinning with no basis. I assume he'll also be rough on Obama, but it certainly was good to see him filet that RW asswipe. I thought he was going to cut the guy's mike, LOL.

After two months of Wright, maybe he's tired of being a mouthpiece. We'll see.

[Crunchy Frog]

6. Something happens to him every few months.

It's never permanent.

[K Gardner]

Yeah, that's too bad, too.

[latinolatteliberal]

5. "It was great fun to watch" is an understatement.

Watching an idiot get exposed is great. Especially a conservative one, of course.

[southern_belle]

8. Yea, I kept waiting for him to cut the guys mike!

:applause:

[LSparkle]

9. Hello "SNL" ... That segment DESERVES a parody!

[hiaasenrocks]

13. That segment looked like it WAS a parody!

[LSparkle]

15. So true! After I wrote that, I realized there wasn't anything left to parody!

Unless Darrell Hammond wants to play Tweety having a coronary ...

[npincus]

10. that was a GEM!

:rofl: I wish Tweety would "go there" more often!

[WA98296]

11. If so, I bet his RATINGS would go up, c'mon Chris...you CAN do it!

[WA98296]

12. Let's Crush CNN!

[ErinBerin84]

14. that was awesome!

I still think Chris is a rw tool, but occasionally he redeems himself. Chris was like "No, you have no idea what you are talking about. You have no historical context. Don't go on television unless you have a basic grasp of history." He didn't even have to cut the GOP guy's mike, the fool kept sputtering away and sounding more and more belligerent. I can't believe he actually pulled the "Watched Pathway to 911!" card...what a loser!

[Cha]

57. No doubt, that was the last thing the rw guy

thought was going to happen on Tweets Show!

[TheDonkey]

16. HILLARIOUS. Watching it now on DVR. Matthew's is screaming at this rethug idiot!

[TheDonkey]

17. "The problem is Kevin. You don't know what you are talking about" DAMN!!

[TheDonkey]

18. "This is pathetic!" Matthew's going completely off on this idiot WOW. Must see TV

[Cali_Democrat]

34. "This is pathetic!"

That was some of the best TV I've seen in a long time.

[TheDonkey]

35. I was literally stunned. Have never seen anything like that before on TV. Tweety smakin down

and that guy was completely unhinged and ignorant beyond the edge of reason.

[Stagecoach]

19. He won't be appearing on any shows anytime soon

The RW talking point pundit group will be disowning that guy. All he had was his talking points that were fed to him, and Matthews could see that from the get-go, that's why he gave the guy that history question.

[ecstatic]

22. that guy had no shame. Notice how he wouldn't shut up even after he was cornered?

I'm sure he'll be back on the air soon, complaining about the "liberal" media!

[monmouth]

24. Hahaha: Mark Green: "Kevin, Kevin...when you're in a hole stop digging." LOL.

[PoliticalAmazon]

27. Words do live by. I think I'll do it up on a cross-stitch sampler and hang it on the wall. n/t

[PoliticalAmazon]

29. LOL. I'd love to see Matthews call other hosts and tell them....

"Ask Kevin James what Neville Chamberlain did"....

Sorry, it's like poking a monkey in a cage. The reaction is so astounding that you almost want to do it again just to see if it gets the same reaction.

[LiberalAndProud]

110. I think Kevin will know next time.

He may at least mention Czechoslovakia. He truly had no clue what the word appeasement even means.

[SoFlaJet]

21. holy shit

I had to bring my wife in the room to watch that-this guy Kevin James is a fucking idiot

[PoliticalAmazon]

30. He really doesn't know who NevilleChaberlain was and what he did!....

What an idiot. "When you're going to make a direct historic reference, get it straight." Matthews was right on there.

[greenbriar]

23. when you are in a hole STOP DIGGING

AWESOME


the dumbasses do not know anything they talk about

[progressoid]

25. I thought we hated Mathews?

:shrug:


ETA: That Kevin James is a dick.

[TheDonkey]

38. Tweety deserves props for that smackdown. Nuff Said. It was a thing of myths and legends

[WA98296]

51. yeah, he does.

[galaxy21]

52. video?

[Greyskye]

56. Post #20 has it

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=5987778&mesg_id=5988418

[DainBramaged]

46. Did someone put Tweety on Anti-RW drugs or something?

My mouth dropped to the floor watching him rip that asshole to pieces. And James would not let go, he kept up his bullshit.


Amazing, how silly they look now, what a bad spokesperson for the RW.

GOOD, bring on more of those nut jobs.

[ErinBerin84]

28. haha!

Kevin James' wikipedia entry has already been updated with the "hardball episode", it's freaking hilarious!

[last_texas_dem]

104. Yeah, that's awfully convenient, Grovelbot! Trying to change the subject?!

I doubt you even know what "appeasement" means!

[Qutzupalotl]

33. OUCH!!

That was great!!

[jgraz]

36. That. Was. Awesome.

I thought that little conservative shitbag was going to start crying.

[tblue37]

37. OMG--Kevin James said,

"Watch The Path to 9/11," as if that partisan anti-Dem fiction were some sort of documentary or historical record that could be used as a credible source!

[ErinBerin84]

41. I know!

I was really wishing that Mark Green could have commented on that with something like "I just recommended you a book to read, so you could educate yourself. You recommended that I watch a MADE FOR TV MOVIE! Because the GOP knows that they cannot win on facts, so they rely on fantasy."

[VolcanoJen]

43. Wasn't that hysterical?????!!!

Tweety even told him after he said that something to the effect that he needed to get his history straight.

That guy was awful. I mean, seriously, even I feel embarrassed for the GOP after watching that moron.

[jefferson_dem]

40. James wiki entry has already been updated. Awesome zing!

Kevin James appeared on the Chris Matthews Hardball show on MSNBC on May 15, 2008. He made a historical reference which he had no idea about. When Matthews questioned him, he just blanked and started rambling. The episode showed Mr. James's ignorance.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_James_(broadcaster)

[SoonerPride]

80. try this link

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_James_%28broadcaster%29

I am ashamed that that dork is a fellow OU alumnus

[VolcanoJen]

42. LOVED IT!

My jaw was agape. "You don't know what you're talking about. You don't know a thing about history."

Over, and over, and over.

Damn, that GOP Assclown must've been steamed after being pwn3d by Tweety, of all people!!!

:rofl:

[kitfalbo]

44. Awesome

Truly Awesome. Talk about a low information pundit.

[americanstranger]

45. Damn.

That yapping little punk got his ass handed to him.

I'm no Tweety fan, but that was good.

- as

[wolfgirl]

49. Tweety didn't make an ass out of the guy...

the guy was already an ass...Tweety just helped show the world.

[WA98296]

50. Tweety made it stick!

[TheDonkey]

61. I loved how in the first second matthew's yelled at him to stop "shouting"

he was like, "why are you shouting!?!"

[jgraz]

54. If you watch carefully, you can pinpoint the exact moment when his tiny conservative heart breaks

At the 7:38 mark, when Tweety calls him a "blank slate" and James' voice starts cracking. As Tweety said, it's pathetic.

[JBoy]

69. LOL.

[Greyskye]

55. LMFAO. As much as I normally loathe Tweety...

...he completely owned that little ass-pimple.

:thumbsup:

[sfam]

58. watching this now...Chris sometimes shines...

[union_maid]

60. He was awesome

BTW, if anyone's interested, I know someone who knows someone who works at MSNBC. She says Matthews is the nicest guy in the world. Thoughtful, considerate, humble. Kinda makes me sorry about all the times I referred to his spitting when he talks. :) She also said that Keith is an OK guy but totally socially inept and Scarborough is a complete prick.

[gabby garcia]

84. seems right on the money..

but i like tweety and KO.
esp. as of late.

;-)
gg

[WinkyDink]

113. I don't buy "humble".

[Tatiana]

62. Watching the replay.

Damn, Tweety OWNED him!

[Doityourself]

63. It was as awesome as yesterday's show...with Buchanan!!! Tweety must be on drugs..lol

[malta blue]

YAY Tweety!

I like him
















:hide:

[WA98296]

64. Just as funny the second time!

[Doityourself]

67. Yeah, I'm watching it again. Priceless

[Tatiana]

66. "WHAT DID HE DO???!!!!"

:rofl:

[Doityourself]

68. problem is you don't know what you're talking about..he doesn't even know

[Tatiana]

74. You don't know history! It wasn't talking that was the problem!

It was giving away half of Czechoslovakia! THAT'S what appeasement is. NOT TALKING.

:rofl:

[TheDonkey]

79. he pretty much tore this guy a new one. A spectacular ass kicking.

you could hear James squealing off camera as Matthews scolded him.

[JBoy]

76. "HE WAS AN APPEASER!!!"

And 9/11 was all Clinton's fault.

[WA98296]

70. Quit digging...that was priceless!

[Doityourself]

71. It's like the WH press secretary that doesn't know what the Cuban Missile Crisis was..lol..

[democrat2thecore]

83. That STILL boggles my mind - "it had something to do with Cuba." LOL!! -nt

[BklynChick]

72. omg, I'm watching it now. the guy is a complete moron and chris ripped him a new asshole.

[angie_love]

73. OMG I just saw it! it was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!

[Skidmore]

75. I must say that Tweety and Green just wrote the primer on dealing with

these RW nutjob screamers. I hope we see this happen much more often to the point that these people start turning down invitation sto appear.

[Muttocracy]

109. and all it took was a couple of basic facts and a calm approach! nt

[KAZ]

77. Man, that was beautiful!!

[Faygo Kid]

78. Chrissy, your show may last a thousand years, but THIS was your finest hour.

I get so tired of these uneducated ignoramuses who don't know squat about history spewing RW talking points.

Limbaugh and his three weeks (at best) of college, Hannity with his lunacy, and now Kevin James, who has NO CLUE about who Neville Chamberlain was, except he was an "appeaser."

Chrissy may be nuts sometimes, but he handed this clown his gonads on a platter.

Beautiful.

[UndertheOcean]

81. Wow , I almost like Tweety now

[democrat2thecore]

82. KRLA Los Angeles - NutWing Radio host --- embarrassing ----nt

[Tribetime]

85. 2nd time I saw it, looked even worse than the 1st

He got smacked down maybe the worst and longest I've ever seen.

[Spazito]

86. Kevin must be under the direct tutelage of bush...

He sounded just like him, reminded me of this quote from bush:

"Tribal sovereignty means that; it's sovereign. I mean, you're a — you've been given sovereignty, and you're viewed as a sovereign entity. And therefore the relationship between the federal government and tribes is one between sovereign entities."

[Kaylee]

87. I think the definition of that is...Kevin was SCHOOLED!

Damn that was rough.

[JVS]

88. OMG! Major PWNage! Tweety's show has been good lately. Buchanan freaks out and now this.

[NC_Nurse]

89. Smack Down! Tweety was amazing!

I'm so glad he told that guy off.
What a fuckin' clown! :D

[powergirl]

90. I like when Tweety said, let me talk to someone who knows

their history - and he called on that dude, Mark (I forgot his last name but he was normal). That was hilarious!!!:rofl:

[TheDonkey]

92. he said "this is dealing with someone who has a blank slate in terms of history"

in other words arguing with someone who is willing to just make shit up and who has no idea what is going on.

[northernlights]

91. I think what's probably happened

is that tweety (Matthews, I presume) has been anti-Clinton/pro-Obama or anything male all along. Now that Obama clearly has the nomination, he's turned his attention toward the enemy. He was holding back before, focussed on helping get his preference to the election. He'll probably be eating the repugs alive from here on out.

[PaulaFarrell]

117. or maybe he just didn't like the way the guy was screaming

and acting like an idiot

[dancingme]

93. I hope he does that to Ann Coulter

IF she is ever on his show again which should never happen.

[Psst_Im_Not_Here]

94. That totally rocked!

I was thinking this morning while listening to the shrub, that Obama or someone in the party should respond with something like: "I can understand that the president doesn't understand the difference between diplomacy and appeasement, he's never used diplomacy."

[TheDonkey]

96. On the verdict's beat the press. All time classic beatdown.

[Hepburn]

97. It was TOTALLY excellent!

I loved it! :hi:

[JerseygirlCT]

99. It sure was. What an idiot!

A big, fat, windbag with nothing in there but hot air.

Son of O'Reilly?

[Colobo]

100. I love it!

[rabidgeorge]

101. Did a thrill go up his leg in the process? n/t

[mystieus]

102. MSNBC are destroying conservatives on tv today.

This guy on Dan Abrams

I missed the news that Ahmedinajad was considered a "terrorist leader"? Didn't he visit and speak in the US a few months ago? Why are we letting terrorist leaders roam free on American soil?

[leftynyc]

120. He was here for the UN

We're obligated as the host country to let him in.

[thewiseguy]

105. One for the ages. lol

[AtomicKitten]

106. Tweety definitely gets a nod for spanking that little monkey!

it was a beautiful thing :D

[walldude]

107. Hate Tweety.. but he tore that guy up..

Where did they dig that dude up? He was yelling before they even turned his mic on. Typical RW bullshit, you have nothing so make sure it's LOUD!

[WA98070]

111. Hey Tweety, I didn't know you had it in you.

[aaronbees]

112. A thing of beauty for sure! .... eom

[donheld]

114. Boy O Boy did that guy make a fool of himself

[Eurobabe]

115. That idiot twit Kevin James is as dumb as his President.

What a fucking moron. That James guy had no idea about the history behind 1939, it took 5 minutes to get it out of him.

Oh god that was worth the price of admission.

Kevin who? YOU'RE FIRED!

:rofl: :rofl:

[ruby slippers]

118. send an email to Kevin James employer.....

and tell them what a jerk he made of himself by not knowing his history.

[e-mail]

[Cooley Hurd]

121. James could be the poster boy for the Right-Wing pundits...

You may not have the facts on your side, but if you say it loud enough, someone MIGHT believe you.

What an utter meathead...:eyes:

[Vapor Trails]

122. Yes, a great smack down.

Chris should have cut him off long before he did.

[Phillycat]

124. Never thought I'd see the day that DUers would be fellating Tweety

every other thread.

[me b zola]

125. Ha! They showed it again this morning

They even had a counter to count the times that Matthews asked him what did NC do. I think the count was 20. :rofl:

[ForeignSpectator]

127. Did they match it with the number of times that james replied

"he was an appeaser, he was an appeaser!" ??

That was awesome to watch. A taste of how media could be, if they weren't as braindead as they are now.

:rofl:

[chill_wind]

128. Total incoherent clown, but they've been getting away with it totally for eight years

There should be a two strike rule with these mouth frothers. They should be give two distinct chances to answer a simple question, in case they didn't fully hear or understand the Q the first time. If they refuse and keep spouting, somebody should cut the jerk's mike. Come back when you're serious and have something *coherent* to say.

What a waste of airspace.

[samsingh]

129. mathews is unreliable - he's usually a swine and has repubs

wiping their unclean asses on his face leaving their fecal matter there for him to lick
