How confused to you have to be to see Chris Matthews as a "liberal?"

This is surely odd:

Hardball Meltdown: Chris Matthews Unhinged on Radio Talk Show

By: Jim Kouri, CPP on November 23, 2005


MSNBC's talk show host Chris Matthews is a man who obviously: (1) Believes he is the smartest person on television; (2) Enjoys bullying women such as Michelle Malkin on the air; (3) Enjoys bullying senior citizens who may not be as quick with the mouth as he is; (4) Is irrelevent except for a few of his fellow moonbats who actually believe he's a mental giant; (5) Is of the opinion that he's really competition for Fox News Channel's lineup.

During a speech he gave in Canada at the University of Toronto, Matthews did what most American liberals do when in a foreign country -- he denigrated his own country. During his usual bloviating Matthews is quoted as saying, "America's enemy in the war on terror is not evil -- they just have a different perspective."

As a result of the Chris Matthews pseudo-intellectual speech, radio talk show host Bob Newman invited him to appear on KOA's "The Gunny Bob Show," aired in Phoenix. Bob is a decorated Marine and a columnist who specializes in terrorism and counterinsurgency. Matthews agreed to appear on Newman's show. Many listeners may argue it wasn't an appearance as much as it was a total meltdown of a man who got caught displaying anti-American tendencies on a radio show with bigger ratings than Hardball.

Bob Newman was interested in pursuing the meaning of Matthews' statements in Toronto.
According to the Gunny, he repeatedly asked Matthews if he thought terrorists are our enemy. Finally, after Matthews apparently realized that the Gunny wasn't going to allow him to dodge the question, Matthews replied that terrorists are "a sub-set of our enemy," to which Gunny Bob asked what that meant. Matthews flew into a rage and it went downhill from there.

I was in NC a little over a year ago on business. I was in a room with 5-6 Freeper type white males. I normally do not discuss politics at work at all. They had all planned their day/lunch hour around Bush's upcoming appearance on the Rush Limbaugh show.

Matthews did work for Jimmy Carter, if I recall?

However, in listening to them, this is what I learned about what goes on in their heads:
1) We had to go into Iraq. No reason, we just had to. And, they all just nodded their head.
2) The Republican party is the true place to be if you are a minority, as evidenced by Colin Powell.
3) Bush's problem is that he is NOT conservative enough.
4) Clinton deserved impeachment.
5) The "Unfit for Command" book by that Swift Boat liar was the best documented & sourced book in the history of the English language.

I'm missing a few other tidbits. But, it's what we're up against. They were practically orgasming when they spoke about Reagan and Arnold (who was popular at the time)

It's definitely possible he's worked with Carter, too. I don't know too much about him, beyond the fact he joined the Peace Corps during the VietNam war.

:hi:

A few months ago a DUer called Lou Dobbs Liberal :crazy:

vice-president of the National Association of Chiefs of Police. He is openly right wing. His website openly attacks the ACLU. :argh:

I'm about justice, not just "law and order".

It's just very upsetting to see this. :mad:

for starters, the positions he espouses in his column in a san francisco paper are not much like the positions he espouses on hardball.

different audience, different positions. the consumate media whore.

Last night, with nothing engaging on TV, I turned to Faux out of curiosity. Haven't done that in ages! They were doing a piece about a speech that Chris Matthews gave recently. Apparently, it was critical of the Administration, and Fox's comments were that he was bad, bad, bad.

This morning, I turned on hate-radio to see what they were shilling for people to discuss over their holiday table with family. Guess what!?!? "Chris Matthews gave a speech critical of....SHAME on you Chris Matthews! SHAME! SHAME! SHAME!"

I guess Chris' recent comments that aren't strictly toe the line in support of all things GOP/Bush were an open invitation for the noise machine or something...because they're all talking about it. :shrug:

David Schuster reports quite good. Matthews pretty much saying Cheney was behind it all. I think this makes them nervous.

I love the picture of him. LOL!

The idiocy of political labels lately disturbs me.

Conservatives could REASON with liberals, and liberals could REASON back, in the 80's and early 90's, without things degenerating so quickly on labels and smear words.

Moderates and independents weren't called liberals some years ago, it is true...

Reactionaries weren't called conservatives some years ago, either, at least not by people who knew what the term 'reactionary' meant.

Mathews isn't going to pass litmus tests for the core demagogues of any particular movement, he is an independent, that is clear to me. He CAN Be liberal, and he isn't afraid to voice some conservative caution or to LISTEN to an idea to see if it makes sense, and he isn't afraid to challenge someone if something makes no sense to him.

Screw liberalISM and conservativISM, they are just a way to avoid thinking, communicating, reasoning. No wonder both fuel the reactionaries so easily.
