Via TPM, some painfully hilarious historical illiteracy from a right-wing talk show host: Seriously, though, it's not like this reflects very well on Chris Matthews, either. Why is he inviting such an obnoxious moron onto his show? There are plenty of people who could represent the conservative position here with some intelligence. Why not try to schedule them? Matthews clearly has some coherent views...

Chris Matthews obliterated a right-wing radio host tonight on his show over Bush's comparison of Obama to Nazi appeasers. Seriously, this is about 6 minutes long. Watch it. In a nutshell, Matthews called the guy on his bs. The guy kept saying that Bush was right, Obama was like the people who appeased Hitler, so Matthews asked the guy who Neville Chamberlain was. The guy had no idea, and tried to bluff...

This is the most awesome thing Chris Matthews has ever done, ever.

Here at Daily Intel, we are sometimes a little hard on Chris Matthews. We love the guy, but that relentlessly abrasive voice! It's like Hillary Clinton's without the phony accents. Yet yesterday he totally kicked some broadcast ass. During a segment on Hardball , Matthews discussed Bush's Obama appeasement snipe . His guests were Air America's Mark Green and conservative radio host Kevin James. James...

This is just so damned awesome I am posting it in a thread of its own. I could really watch this all night.

You may have already seen the grossly misleading and embarrassingly political smear Bush used against Democrats (and WH aides say Obama) from Israel : "Some seem to believe we should negotiate with terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along," Bush said at Israel's 60th anniversary celebration in Jerusalem. "We have heard this foolish delusion...

...on live TV during last night's Hardball . As Huffington Post 's Jason Linkins eloquently explains, "host Chris Matthews took up President Bush's pointed attack on the Democrats in the Knesset, asking if Bush was 'out of line.' Radio talk-show host Kevin James didn't think so, saying-and I'm paraphrasing-'RRRRAAAAAHHHH! OBAMA BLAAAAHHHH! HAMAS LOVES BARACK, YAAAAHHHH!'" Then Chris Matthews proceeds...

This is too hilarious for words. It's priceless. It's Chris Matthews applying a little history lesson to an ignorant right wing talk show host who wants to throw the Neville Chamberlain gambit around about the Democrats in general and Barack Obama in particular: Unfortunately, Matthews forgot to deliver the coup de grâce . That would have been to ask who was Prime Minister when Hitler invaded Poland...

Wow, and this guy, Kevin James, actually gets paid to do a radio show, on the public airwaves, in Los Angeles. While progressive talkers, who actually know what the hell they're talking about, get shut out by the corporate megalopolies sucking off the goodwill teet of Government largess, allowing them to use our airwaves for [...]

Oh Lord this is fun. Matthews makes an error late in the clip attributing the USS Cole bombing to the first Bush administration, but other than that he just kills this dude. KILLS him. Oh thank you. Thank you thank you for calling this loud, screaming IDIOT on his b.s.

MORE 'SCUZZBALL' SLIME Sleazy MSNBC Anchor Matthews Sinks Deeper Here's a neat trick for a sleazy MSNBC huckster: invite a low- rated conservative talk show host from a bottom- feeder radio outfit and "win" the debate with gutter- level debate tricks, the very sort one's high school debate teacher would have banned as too lowbrow. From sewer- dwelling Chris Matthews, could one really expect more? Sure...

Cernig makes an interesting point about Captain Codpiece's speech before the Knesset yesterday. The conventional wisdom, even offered by Keith Olbermann last night, is that it was Bush injecting himself into the presidential race while speaking in another country. But Cernig thinks it's about something else : Most American pundits want to see Bush's remarks as an attack on Barrack Obama but folks -...

Lars Larson makes the same mistake on Dan Abrams' show that the radio blowhard did with Chris Matthews, and it's just as embarrassing. He keeps blathering on with no regard to facts, which Portland listeners are too familiar with, and he keeps trying to run roughshod over those who call him on his crap. Dan Abrams does call him on it, relentlessly, and Jonathan Alter gives him a good smacking, calling...
