2. I'm not watching because I can't stand Matthews but if he's doing this
I'm all for it. We really need a war on stupidity. From this day on let's put those pundits feet to the fire and demand that every time a Republican or even a Democrat says something stupid and unsubstantiated that they call them on it.

until someone puts it up on YouTube.

8. I really don't like him either but . . .
This clip is amazing. He actually told the "token republican" that he couldn't talk about the issues because he wouldn't.

6. My favorite comment...
is right at the beginning, when he asks (rhetorically) why we're all talking about fucking pigs and lipstick with an energy crisis, an economic crisis and a failing war that the GOP refuses to end.

19. THIS IS A MUST WATCH CLIP of the year.....REALLY!!
Edited on Wed Sep-10-08 06:36 PM by kayla9170
YEAP!!!! I actually watched this interview and Chris Matthews did a WONDERFUL job calling out the BS of this CRAP from the GOP. Please watch. It is a must watch and a must share on how the GOP spins and spins...to NEVER try to get to the REAL ISSUES of this campaign. Obama should hire him (Chris) as his speechwriter for the future and in the White House P/T. If Rove can work on the FAUX News channel and work for Old G.I. Joe/Caribou Barbie campaign at the same time....WHY NOT?

10. I watched about half of it, but I don't like to watch bullies,
even if they're republicans. Tweety isn't giving that dude a chance to respond adequately. Yes, the McCain camp screwed the pooch by running this ad, but most people should see that. Let the republicans make fools of themselves on their own.

13. I'm going to disagree....
The reason the GOP keeps winning with this kind of crap is because they do not pay a price for doing it. Today, Tweety made them pay a price. He humiliated this guy on national television. And they deserve to be humiliated for it.

14. This is why I don't like Tweety. He doesn't let them have their say and then
blast them. He just plows in and starts bloviating before you even know what they were trying to say. Usually he does it to liberals though.

16. McCain has declined considerably from the first video clip to the second
Can people see this? I am assuming the first clip from 2008 was the most recent

17. He's turned to the Bright Side after years on the Dark Side.
Same with Andrew Sullivan.

I enjoy watching Matthews almost as much KO and Rachel Maddow these days.

the R shouting down Backaus with "nobody questions McCain's integrity! McCain has tons of integrity."

22. "nobody questions McCain's integrity! McCain has tons of integrity."
Cynically and repeatedly lying to the American people while hiding from the press is not a demonstration of integrity?

Do you want your child to grow up and tell bald faced lies to those that are depending on them?

29. I have mixed views of this...
Why does the media in general and Chris Matthews in particular pretend they have no control over the news cycle? Matthews laments that they should be talking about real issues, yet he spent most of this show on this stupid thing.

Yes, he highlighted the hypocrisy of that guy (former Denny Hastert aide?), but so what. He could of ignored the issue and instead focused on real issues. How about having each teams people on talking about the Fannie/Freddie bailout and how it relates to the economy or the Michigan Automotive situation or the Interior Dept Corruption issues, etc.

35. I wonder if Chris's anger has anything to do with the alzeimers rumors.
He said several times that McCain would never approve this message and it's being put out by his handlers. It seems like a pretty lame excuse for McCain, unless it is viewed from the perspective that Tweety has heard the rumors and believes them.

43. Maybe he was told he had to spend the hour on the lipstick story,
and he said "fine, but MY way". Good for him.

Or, maybe MSNBC is liking their ratings on left-leaning shows, so they're letting the reins out a bit. It would make sense, considering the addition of Rachel Maddow's new show. I personally think that having Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann as pundits instead of covering the actual election is better for the good guys.

when he was winning points, our fine lady would interupt him with inconsequential chatter and an exaggerated smile.

51. weapons of mass distraction
indeed

they need to repeat that again and again
also
no change express

mccain and palin are the bridge to nowhere, that's where they're going to take this country, nowhere

maybe I haven't been watching other channels but does it feel like we've won this fight? everyone seems to be smelling this crap for what it is - CRAP - and calling the repugs on it

could it be this nation is waking up?
not sure, but all I know is today was a good day

52. What sounds like “sputtering” to you
sounds to me like someone being rudely shouted down and not allowed to get a word in edgewise.

It would be nice, though, if Tweety would occasionally STFU and let his guests say a complete sentence. He shouts them down constantly. I despise these Republican spinners, but I still want to smack Tweety when he asks one a question and then won’t let the person he is questioning try to answer it. If the answer is BS, as of course the Repub spinner’s answers were bound to be, he can then refute it, but he doesn’t let the man say anything.

BTW, Tweety also repeatedly shouted down the Democrat.

53. I have one problem with this, he never played the
Obama comment in its full context. When he just plays the lipstick on a pig line without what he said before that it could be interpreted that he actually was referring to her. I heard the speech from the start and he never mentioned Sarah Palin, the governor of Alaska or referred to her in any way. He started out talking about the Bush record and ended with the lipstick on a pig line.

55. They should be shouted down when they REFUSE to answer
the questioned posed to them and go into their bullshit scripted talking points that have nothing to do with what was asked.

Matthews gave the lying sack of dung many chances and his talking point was so utterly weak that he had to laugh at it.

These people know what they are doing and how full of it they are and can barely tell these lies with a straight face.

This not a discussion or a debate anymore, the Republicans have taken that away, now it's a war.

It's time Democrats stop pretending this is anything else but a war and take these assholes on without a hint of mercy. They will have no mercy on you or your children, it's time to start LIVING as such.

Avoiding conflict and being meek buys us NOTHING...Nothing.

BRING THEM DOWN!
