Chris Matthews of MSNBC chastised Barack Obama for dithering on Afghanistan. Dick Cheney has succeeded in labeling Obama as a ditherer. As for Matthews, well, B.B. King said it best…
Believe it or not, he's not just spinning here. He's sincerely criticizing Obama for some of his dopier decisions lately; he just can't help letting his admiration for The One get in the way and filter it as a matter of excess virtue. None of the problems he ...
Yeah. That’s Obama’s problem. He needs to dumb it down a little bit. Every once in a while you see some wacky story put out by the state media in North Korea that ostensibly critical of dictator Kim Jong-Il but really boils down something like “is dear leader too attractive to be seen in public'” or something like that. This reminds me of that.
DOWNLOADS: (26) PLAYS: (168) Chris Matthews cites a recent poll from Public Policy Polling which found that 52% of Republicans think ACORN stole the 2008 Presidential Election for President Obama...and he's shocked!...shocked I tell you to hear that Republicans might actually believe that. Gee Chris...where would Republicans ever get an idea like that from ? I can't imagine .
I don't always agree with Matthews, but he is dead on here. And Norah O'Donnell points out an important piece as well when she identifies Palin supporters as feeling somehow "victimized". These Christian white Americans, clearly the majority in this country, have convinced themselves that they are suddenly second class citizens because a black man resides in the White House. It is absolutely...
Vid at Newsbusters; I'll just quote some of the transcript. "This is a largely white -- almost no minorities in this crowd," reported MSNBC's O'Donnell live from the scene. Matthews reiterated, "Well, they look like a white crowd to me,"...
Chris Matthews, on Thursday's Hardball, took GOP Congresswoman Virginia Foxx to task for claiming that Republicans "passed civil rights bills in the sixties" as he accused her of having a bad memory, going as far as to compare her to one of the androids from the science fiction classic Blade Runner : Up next wait ‘til you hear the latest from Congresswoman, whoa! Wait ‘til you...
Chris Matthews is looney tunes: The attacks on former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin took an interesting turn Wednesday when MSNBC's Chris Matthews suggested that racism is at the heart of her support. Much like mainstream media coverage of this year's Tea Parties, Matthews and "Hardball" guests Norah O'Donnell and Salon's Joan Walsh made an issue of how "white" the crowd was at a...
Chris Matthews continues to beclown himself when he talks about Sarah Palin. (Newsbusters, H/T AoSHQ) On one hand, isn’t it notable how white- nay, “tribal” the people are who go to the Palin book signings. Those white, tribal, paranoid tea-party birthers, rambling about this thing they call a “Constitution”. On the other hand, isn’t it terrible for [...]
MSNBC’s Matthews Finds Obama’s Weakness: He’s ‘Too Darned Intellectual’ from Conservative Blog Watch by NewsBusters.org At the top of Friday’s Hardball on MSNBC, host Chris Matthews discovered the reason for President Obama’s political difficulties in recent months: “President Obama has his chin out on just about every hot issue out there….He’s...
HARDHEADED ON HARDBALL.... During last year's presidential campaign, MSNBC's Chris Matthews had some annoying habits. Particularly when it came to sizing up Barack Obama, the "Hardball" host repeatedly questioned whether the candidate was disconnected from regular ol' America. For example,...
It's pretty simple: "I'm just worried he's going to win this argument for months before he gets executed." This is Chris Matthews from a few moments ago on Hardball, worrying about the propaganda victories he fears KSM will win spouting...
In honor of Sarah Palin’s return to Washington, PA tomorrow, here are a couple of photos I took of her the first time she was there, back in August 2008: Click for the original size. I left the photos “in context”, so Chris Matthews can see how “tribal” the people are.
The Thrill (Up The Leg) Is Gone by digby ..it turns out that Obama is a limp girly man after all. Chris Matthews: He is leading with his chin on just about every issue out there -- healthcare, terror trials, job losses, even the breast cancer report. He's exposed and vulnerable. His poll numbers are dropping. Is he just too darned intellectual? Too much the egghead? Why did he bow to that Japanese...
I wanted to be the first one to say it publicly, but Chris beat me to it . Actually, my reaction was, "OMG! They've outsourced Republicans to India!" Come to think of it, I know many Indians who would make exemplary Republicans, this makes perfect sense. This would be a godsend to Wipro, Infosys, etc., who've been feeling the pinch of our downturn . However, this would also mean that Lou Dobbs would...
Last night as Governor Bobby Jindal was walking to the microphone to deliver the Republican response to the president's speech, Chris Mathews of MSNBC was heard to sigh, "Oh, God." After the speech, Matthews said of the Republican party's choice in Jindal, whose parents emigrated from India, to deliver the speech, "they had to outsource their response tonight. They had to outsource it to someone who
