40. Good job!

Hackett handled Tweety with just the right mix of straight no-nonsense and intelligent good humor. Way to go!

[jillan]

2. I'm watchin! n/t

[mtnester]

3. Ick we have to suffer through Brownback first

And the dickwad is talking about rights over MY body now

[rocktivity]

4. No doubt Tweety will be "in the zone"

offering up not questions, but accusations wrapped in propaganda wrapped in editorials wrapped in cheap shots.

:headbang:
rocknation

[mtnester]

5. Dammit, by body is NOT a political system Brownback you ASSHOLE

[liberaliraqvet26]

[mtnester]

7. Thank GOD he is done spewing

[julialnyc]

and make us suffer through a whole show with Tweety!

[julialnyc]

9. well this is good

Plame outing

[Catchawave]

10. Let me know when David Gregory is subbing !

He needs to take over Hardball!

[FreedomAngel82]

15. I agree

Maybe if enough people tell MSNBC how much they liked Gregory instead of Matthews? :shrug:

[mtnester]

11. Kick

[julialnyc]

12. come on

you can't prosecute a struggle crime.

[Catchawave]

Send feedback to: [e-mail]

[Clark2008]

23. Wes Clark endorsed him.

That's good enough for me. :hi:

[Catchawave]

29. Hi Clark.....

:hi:

Whoa, I really like Hackett too (and what a hottie)! Too bad Matthews asked the suckiest questions, but I think our boy carried it off well :)

[mtnester]

14. He's next!!

[Cush]

16. on now

[FreedomAngel82]

17. Please tell us what all he says

Thanks.

[mtnester]

18. Tweety trying to set him up

Hackett - I would have voted not to go to war...nationbuilding...misuse of the military

[mtnester]

19. Disagrees with military being mandated on how to train Iraqis by

civilians

[mtnester]

20. Tweety = what do you think of Prez Bush

I did not have to take an oath of love for the prez when I joined, it was for the OFFICE of the pres, not him..I did not vote for him

[mtnester]

21. Defined Bush as chickenhawk

described him to a tee...bring it on, with us or against us, ...that language is DABNEROUS, we don't need that


Called prez a chicken hawk cause he respects the OFFICE, not the man

[FreedomAngel82]

53. Great replies!

He's saying all the right things. :loveya: It would be nice to have a representive like that!

[Clark2008]

22. And doing beautifully, if you ask me. n/t

[mtnester]

27. Tall, handsome beautiful smile articulate

would compliment general clark NICELY

I loved when he said the hits he was taking over the chickenhawk remark were not near as bad as what he saw in Iraq or what our soldiers and Iraqis are going through, so the insults coming at him were nothing

[Clark2008]

43. I know.

I said on another thread that if those two teamed up, not only would it be the most intelligent and ass-kicking team running, but it would also be the most handsome!

And Army general and a Marine major. The Republicans would be verklempt!

[mtnester]

47. Verklempt!

I always picture Mike Myers....sigh

SNL is SO not the same

That aside, BTW, Clark is my choice in 08, he was my primary choice last year...if only

[mtnester]

24. Why he has a conceal carry

because he wants to

has never used it though (the permit)

Tweety trying to get a better answer (idiot)

Tweety wishes him luck, smiled genuinley, joked quite a bit

[julialnyc]

26. I think Tweety actually did Hackett a favor

with the gun talk.......... Republican district won't think he wants to take away their sacred guns!

[Catchawave]

35. Yep....

and he was quick on his feet, which flustered Matthews! I love to see that.

[FreedomAngel82]

54. I agree

I'm actually with him on the gun issue. I could care less if someone has a gun as long as they're responsible about it and know that it's in their care etc. If Hackett makes it through Congress I would love to see him as a Senator someday if that's what he wants to do.

[Pirate Smile]

30. I thought the reason he gave made complete sense. As an attorney,

you can piss people off sometimes and they can want to come after you.

He said he has never actually carried a concealed weapon but he wanted to legally have the right to do so.

You get some unstable person pissed at you, who threatens you and your family, I can understand wanting a concealed weapon in those circumstances.

[julialnyc]

36. yeah, but the dick thing Tweety was trying to insinuate

was that he got the permit when he returned from Iraq (like he might be messed up in the head and paranoid).That's what I thought (but maybe I'm paranoid)

[Pirate Smile]

44. Well, I don't think he really took any hits in the interview. I thought

it was a total positive for him.

Bringing up the gun issue is probably a positive for swing or moderate Republican voters.

I liked his response when Tweety tried to get him to back off the Chicken Hawk comment and HE WOULDN'T yet he was still respectful. That can be a tough needle to thread and he did it beautifully.

[Democrat 4 Ever]

32. What the heck was all that nonsense about the conceal weapon

that Tweety kept harping on? Hackett told him he had the permit but has never carried. Tweety couldn't let it go. Finally Tweety told Hackett that if he were elected he would need to carry in DC and then Hackett had to tell him that it was illegal to carry a weapon into the Capitol. I can't get over One Track Matthew's obsession with Hackett having a permit to carry a weapon. Tweety couldn't discuss issues? He was a "moran" with an unhealthy fixation on someone carrying a gun. What a jerk.

[Catchawave]

48. That annoyed me too....

...almost to the point he knows guns are a liberal issue and he was trying to discredit him, or something like that. Very annoying indeed.

[Clark2008]

49. He was trying to get Hackett to sound "anti-liberal"

so the Dems wouldn't vote for him, I guess.

Well, the jokes on Tweety. Dems in "red" states happen to LIKE owning weapons. It's no big deal.

[Pirate Smile]

25. Wow, he did awesome. I love it.

[julialnyc]

28. Hackett is handsome!

N/T

[bunny planet]

31. I'll have to watch the rerun tonight. It would be so amazing if he wins.

If he's handsome, I may just have to donate again.
:evilgrin:

[Clark2008]

51. A dreamboat, Bunny.

:loveya:

[bunny planet]

55. Hiya Clarkie, oh yes, he is fine indeed.

Can't wait to watch him tonight. Dem candidates like this are the Repubes worst nightmare.

Not only because he's cute of course, but because he's smart and a vet, and a Dem who calls them the 'chickenhawks' that they are.

[FreedomAngel82]

56. Oh yeah

;) His whole family is cute.

[tomg]

33. Hackett was very solid.

Matthews wasted much of the time asking about a concealed gun permit Hackett has.

[jillan]

34. Wow - I am impressed!

He did great!

He needs to be elected, to teach those CHICKENHAWKS a thing or two!

[RSchewe]

37. Tweety was stuck on the gun license point, What was that all about?

I guess that is the best he could come up with to stir up the interview.

[julialnyc]

39. He wanted to point out that he just got a permit two weeks after returning

from Iraq (like Hackett is PTSD). What a dick!


Isn't his brother a republican in Ohio (or maybe it's PA)

[Straight Shooter]

41. Tweety trying to make him look unfavorable in eyes of Democrats.

As if no Democrat would ever carry a gun :7

[camby]

38. That sucking sound you hear is

thousands of Repug balls shriveling. This guy is just what the Dems need. Hallelujah!

[mtnester]

45. Thing is, there are SO many more like him

I have a conceal carry now, and always believed I should have the right to own (just not the right to leave the damn thing laying on the table so a kid can get to it, that is an IQ/smarts problem, not a gun problem)

MANY more than they even think, I believe

[Blue Belle]

42. So have you all donated to his campaign yet??

http://www.actblue.com/list/hackett

I'd love to see him in office! :-)

[mtnester]

46. $20.01 from me every day this week.

[Catchawave]

50. Hi Blue Belle....

Thanks for that link, I'll send him something for sure.

Sure miss the movie chain..:hi:

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

58. Sent $20.00 Today

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

52. Anyone know what the effect this appearance has on his polling? Has to be

good, I'd think!

Is there going to be more harrassment for "voting while black" in this district though?

[rucky]

57. Ohio Young Dems are mobilizing volunteers/poll watchers

as we speak. FWIW.

yes, we expect more harrassment.

[Mr.Green93]

60. Good luck!

But why are they running negative ads against Schmidt? Negative ads really backfired in the primary.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

59. Don't know the actual Demographics

But the 2nd CD is very white and rural.
