"Just say that to me!" he shouted. "Tell me he walked in the door into hell."

[Amerigo Vespucci]

Chris Matthews and Republican National Committee chair Reince Priebus had a testy exchange on Friday's "Hardball."

***

"Well, you're experts on Obama, you call him a socialist!" Matthews shot back. Priebus pivoted back to Obama, saying that his policies had failed and that Americans were "starving for real, authentic people" to lead.

"Do you have a hard time with the fact that your party left this country in wreckage?" Matthews said. "...You think you left this bed all made for him." When Priebus tried to respond, Matthews cut him off.

"Just say that to me!" he shouted. "Tell me he walked in the door into hell."

1. It's about time someone on our side got a little emotional.

[defendandprotect]

22. Matthews is just feeling some change in the wind ... and he's playing both sides... as usual....

good money in that, evidently!!??

[russspeakeasy]

26. At least he is aware of his surroundings...I will give him that..

:evilgrin: That is more than I can say for some of our political leaders.

[defendandprotect]

27. True -- but it's self-protection ... doesn't benefit democracy at all -- just Matthews!!

[butterfly77]

2. K&R..

this time. Matthews must be scared finally or his portfolio has taken a hit..

[blm]

3. I think he's been feeling guilty since he voted for Bush in 2000, and now watches the horror

unfold.

[butterfly77]

5. I think he also...

believed the rah,rah,we love America bullshit the teabaggers shout every chance they get. Now,his eyes are opened and he sees that they don't give a damn about America and it's all about getting Obama out of the whitehouse.

Now even the republiCONS are scared as hell because they see what their racism has wrought. United we stand,Divided we fall. Fox wants us to fall but they don't give a damn as long as their portfolio's are looking good. I always wonder how they think they can have a great country when they want to see many of its citizens fail. They don't want blacks to have jobs or businesses and if they get them they do everything they can to sabatoge they hate hispanics many who were here before them.

They will do anything not to help people of every color in America who have been here for decades. I listen to them day in and day out talking about how we need to bring more people to America to create jobs and I ask: What in the fuck is wrong with the people who are already here?

Bloomberg and the rest of the crowd talk about how we need more HBIvisa to bring others over here to train because we aren't educated. And I ask why do they hate Americans??? What happened to American ingenuity???

4. Drama:

Fake or real?

[butterfly77]

6. Depends on..

how its affecting him personally.

[Hawkowl]

10. Drama is both

Both fake and real. That's the definition of drama and at this point, I doubt whether Chris can make any distinction among his own personal realities.

[FSogol]

7. Is there a more smarmy prick than Reince Priebus? Could there be a more appropriate head of the

scummy GOP? :puke:

[Whisp]

15. his name sounds like a medical condition

[awoke_in_2003]

17. it is latin for...

one with head up the ass syndrome :)

[FSogol]

19. Agreed. Some drippy STD. n/t

the tow truck.

13. It's revealing that so many so-called Democrats are repeating Preibus' meme

Guess some people are clueless compared to Chris Matthews and other Obama supporters like Russ Feingold.

[Marnie]

16. Good for Matthews, it been a hard time for him to see the light

but the fog of propaganda is finally lifting.

[jenmito]

18. I saw that exchange. It was a sight for sore eyes. n/t

[Skittles]

21. LOVE IT

LOVE IT when people SAY IT LIKE IT IS

[Little Star]

23. Matthews was telling the whole truth on that one! Bush screwed

up this country so bad they need to be hanging their heads in shame!

[Dystopian]

24. KandR

That was great!
Thanks for posting.


peace~

[Corruption Winz]

25. Matthews wasn't exactly a closet liberal, but he's always been...

balanced and essentially played Devil's Advocate. But, this is good to see, to be honest.

[deacon]

28. It's the truth. n/t

[PVnRT]

29. Reince? Even his parents must have hated him to give him a name like that

How do you even pronounce it? R(eye)nce? R(ein)nce?
