1. Frank Gaffney is a jackass.

And he has no business telling Ron Reagan what his own father would think. Ronald Reagan accepted that his son was becoming a professional ballet dancer, probably not what he envisioned for him, but now he has become so much more, publicly speaking out and becoming involved. Any father would be proud. :patriot:

2. "I'll see you later, Frank"

How's Frank gonna feel when he gets his ass whipped by a liberal former ballet dancer?

13. qftroof

I hope Reagan lays that fuck out

[goclark]

3. I didn't get it ~ did Ron Jr. win the argument ~ what was the issue

I've never seen Ron so angry.

[undeterred]

4. I had to listen for it twice to hear it.

That's why I don't watch political shows.

[VAliberal]

5. It was an outrageous personal attack

It doesn't mitigate how offensive it seemed, but when political discourse becomes blatant personal attack - deeply personal - "your father would be ashamed" type shit - maybe it reveals just how manic, unhinged and hysterical the right-wing is becoming.

It would be a lovely thing if Reagan whipped up on Gaffney in some dark alley. Am I wrong for wanting to see that happen?

[AlbertCat]

14. hysterical the right-wing is becoming.

Becoming???

Remember ages ago when O'Reilly told the anti-war son of a man who had died in 9/11.... "Your' father would never agree with you. He'd be ashamed of you. Your father would be for the war!"

This from a man who never met, heard, or heard of before the interview, the peacenik's father! "Cut his mike! Cut his mike!"


This crap has been going on for 30 years! At least since Clinton.

[abq e streeter]

17. As another usually peace -loving person, I'd say you'd be wrong for NOT wanting that

and I'd love that too. At some point, the only proper answer to that disgusting level of personal attack, is a good old fashioned ass-whuppin'.

[BootinUp]

6. I want to see the whole discussion!

Gaffney is such an asshole, I would love to see what Ron said to get him so flipped out.

[BeyondGeography]

7. Frank's gonna get de-bearded for that

RRjr. was furious. And rightfully so.

[Enthusiast]

8. I loath Frank Gaffney.

He is a propagandist first and last. That is his sole purpose.

[sasquatch]

9. Someone get Ron Reagan a bowling pin

[C_U_L8R]

10. And Gaffney's insulting Daddy Reagan even more than he's hurting Ron

Suggesting that a father(dead or alive) does not love his son like that is despicable.
Gaffney is an evil stinky fart of a republiclown. Yeccch.

[Cha]

27. Exactly. It's an insult to both Reagans..and frank

gafney managed to insult the gop god right on cable tv.

[Buzz Clik]

11. That's harsh. Jesus doesn't like hateful people. Gaffney was just condemned to hell for all eternity

[LynnTheDem]

12. Nancy Reagan will have a quiet word with frank, betcha.

Ronald loved Ron and was damn proud of him.

Frank is an ignorant know-nothing asshole. Gee, there's a surprise.

[Sodbuster]

15. Who the fuck asked him what Ron's father might think of him?

That is the kind of statement you make when you've got nothing left.
Typical Reichwing bullshit.

[CTyankee]

19. He had nothing left way earlier in the argument. It was Ron Reagan's statement about that

that really precipitated Gaffney's remark. The guy was out of bullets.

That accusation was true desperation, IMO...

[FiveGoodMen]

16. Which is surely a compliment in any sane world.

[DMNinFL]

18. A scumbag, is a scumbag, is a scumbag......

But.......maybe there is room for redemption for this Gaffney scumbag. Maybe when he meets Pres. Reagan in the afterlife. lol

[KoKo]

20. A Must Watch!

[spiritual_gunfighter]

21. "I'll see you later, Frank"

I think Ron is going to kick his ass.

[Richardo]

22. How can anybody watch that crap?

Three guys all talking, no, YELLING at once, no one makes a point.

For God's sake stop watching fucking Hardball.

[BootinUp]

24. In the full segment

Ron called Dick Cheney an unindicted war criminal, booyah.

[Richardo]

25. That's good, but it's still not worth watching Matthews

[lobodons]

23. Anybody else catch Tweety's comment at the end of the live segment?

He compared the Christian Right to the Taliban as he was signing off. Gaffney didn't seem to take kindly to this statement even though there wasn't any audio of his reaction.

[stlsaxman]

26. You can hear Gaffney say "rubbish" pretty clearly there.

[lobodons]

29. Upon further review you are correct

Rubbish it was. If looks could kill, my god, Gaffney gave Tweety that evil eye look.

[stlsaxman]

30. yeah his head snapped over to glare when he heard that like he couldn't believe it...

actually it surprised ME when Matthews said it.

[Mojambo]

28. Dude! "You better watch your mouth about that Frank."

It's a good thing for Gaffney that Ron was thousands of miles away because the look he gave him was SERIOUS.
