Who's been watching Tweety lose his mind

[cilla4progress]

over the Syrian refugees?

Spouting the rethug line: they are on their own; they should step up to the frontlines in their own country; NOT MY PROBLEM.

Sickening.

I do agree that the Saudis and other wealthy nations in the ME need to step up in the fight against Daesh. We cannot let Daesh make this a battle against infidels. But his cruelty towards those running from the violence is shocking to me.

I saw a great internet "meme" yesterday about another era, where, at this time of year, a middle eastern couple was desperately seeking a home for them and their child.

1. i had to turn him off

he was one of the most consistently outspoken critics of the iwr, and now he sounds indistinguishable from trump or graham.

sickening

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

12. What took you so long?

[restorefreedom]

14. i actually stopped watching m$nbc a while ago

and i thought with everything going on, i wil just check in.

big mistake

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

17. haha, yes, I've made that mistake too a couple times.

[restorefreedom]

19. each time gets him a longer "time out"

one day it will be never. he just raises my blood pressure

[leveymg]

18. He's like someone trapped in '50s tv ranting about arming Hungarians and

sending them to take their country back from the Soviets.

Tweety is lost in some sort of a time war.

[Cirque du So-What]

2. Quite the weathervane, isn't he?

Any which way the wind blows.
.

[bluedigger]

3. Seems like for decades.

Did he set a new marker?

[bigwillq]

4. Not me.

I don't watch cable news.

[lancer78]

5. Saudi Arabia

and Daesh are allies. Who do you think is funding the?

[jberryhill]

6. It figures

He's not aging gracefully.

[Fumesucker]

25. I haven't watched Tweety in a decade but "gracefully" is not a term I would associate with him

[NorthCarolina]

7. Losing his mind? Not sure about that, but with his

obvious anti-Bernie agenda I do think he is losing his credibility and relevancy.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

13. Can't lose what you never had.

[procon]

8. He's been infected by the FauxNews worm and its eating his brain.

He's way out of control tonight. All he needs is a an Ikea couch with a couple of grinning blonds in short, tight red dresses flanking him.

[COLGATE4]

20. He's getting close to that - plus, more than a dash

of O'Lielly to boot. He was so manic tonight as to be almost unhinged, overtalking every person who tried to respond to his outrageous analogies. "Why won't the Syrians stand up for their country. We would!!! Look at the French after WWII, etc, etc. etc.". He is rapidly becoming an embarrassment.

[Mike Nelson]

9. His $5 million salary seems...

...secure!

[Paladin]

10. Tweety hasn't been paying attention for the last 40 years or so.

He's whining about getting all those young Syrian men to reclaim their own country.....That didn't work so well in Viet Nam. And it hasn't worked more recently in other parts of the Middle East. Once indigenous people see a super power like the U.S. in the neighborhood, they figure (with plenty of evidence) that Uncle Sugar is going to fight their battles for them. Tweety's trashing of that commentator yesterday, followed by his additional trashing of the same person on today's show, was reprehensible. Chris Matthews pretends to be a moderate liberal, but he maintains a constant hard-on for warfare---he thinks this country is at its best when the bullets are flying and the bombs are dropping and the flag-draped caskets are being lowered into military gravesites. His spittle-flecked adulation of the flight suit-clad Dubya on that "Mission Accomplished" carrier remains one of the most sickening examples of corrupt journalism ever performed. He's an asshole, pure and simple.

[kairos12]

11. Can't stand him since he fawned over Shrub during his codpiece walk on the carrier.

[Scootaloo]

26. Did you miss his gushing over Fred Thompson's aqua-velva stench?

[Glimmer of Hope]

15. Cruel and irrational.

[BootinUp]

16. I think you are mis-characterizing his argument

First, he was agreeing with Democrats on refugee policy. Second, his call to recruit them to fight was a separate argument.

[trueblue2007]

21. he is calling for the Syrian people to step up and defend their country.

[COLGATE4]

23. The problem with that argument is,

"What's to defend?". Do they defend Assad, a cruel hereditary dictator who has no compunctions about killing his citizens like flies? Do they defend their own religious community? Matthews, like most Rethugs seems to have absolutely no understanding of the history of that whole region of the world. The whole 'country' concept is foreign, corresponding to arbitrary, artificial divisions drawn on maps by the French and British after WWI at the implosion of the Ottoman Empire. Loyalty to artificial nationality is not a well established concept - Lebanese and Syrians do not consider themselves to be different people or to belong to different countries. The same with Jordanians as well. This is an area of the world where loyalties are historically first to family, second to tribe, and third to religious identification. Loyalty to a 'flag' or 'country' as Matthews understands it, is a foreign concept.

[jwirr]

22. And they were also refugees from violence.

[Rex]

24. Why does anyone still watch him?

He is a horrible person and barely acceptable as a garbage pundit.

[Kalidurga]

27. He isn't losing his mind that has been long gone

I hate that lil weasle. Tweety is a great name for him. He needs his liberal card revoked.

[Mnpaul]

28. I can't see why people pay for this garbage

cable "news" is brain rot

[Warpy]

29. Somebody needs to remind that fool that half the refugees are children

Does he want little kids to go to the front lines? That's sounds like what he's demanding.
