Could I please get a job defending the Democratic Party on cable?

[maxrandb]

Don't know who was just on Tweety's show. Seemed like a nice lady, but Matthews went into full on Faux News radio host.

Asked her; "Why did Hillary lie!!! About paying for the dossier... this looks terrible blah blah blah (screaming over any answer)

The Dem basically said; "it doesn't look good, but that doesn't change anything blah blah blah". More Tweety screaming

Here's how Max would respond

"Chris, I don't know.. maybe Hillary knew that if she did, you'd make it all about her and ignore the fact that Donnie Short Fingers colluded with the Russians"

"Maybe she knew that your network and all the others would spend 17/7 attacking her, and we'd have 40 straight days above the fold stories in the NY Times about Hillary. Russian collusion will be relegated to the classifieds". " The other 7 hours a day on your network would be devoted to an empty podium screen saver waiting for Trump to fart something out"

"Let me put this in terms that Retrumplicans and folks like Newton Gingrich can understand...if your spouse hires a private detective to find out if you're cheating on her and that detective catches you with your pants around your ankles in the whore house... that doesn't mean you weren't screwing around on your wife"

"Just because your wife paid a detective to catch you, it doesn't make it fake news"

Now Dems... it really isn't that hard. Fight the Fuck back!

1. Seriously.

And fuck you, Chris "Tingles" Matthews.

[SharonClark]

2. I've often thought that as well.

When Tom Harkin was my senator he drove me nuts on the rare occasion he talked to the media. Unfortunately, Chuck Grassley (Asshole, IA) knows how to use the media way too well.

3. I thought *all* of us here were paid shills!1

[maxrandb]

4. Where's my paycheck

Or pony?

[kacekwl]

5. You're HIRED.

[oberliner]

6. The "cheating on your wife" example would probably not be ideal

Especially with the context you included.

[maxrandb]

7. Huh?

[Drahthaardogs]

10. I think they are referring to Bill

Cause you know, Democrats must be faithful to spouses but Rethuglicans can do anything

[RandiFan1290]

11. That is the typical republicon response

They even throw that up when you mention the list of republicon pedophiles like trump, Dennis Hastert, Jerry Sandusky, Ted Nugent, etc

[oberliner]

14. I was thinking of Anthony Weiner

Who is Bill?

[oberliner]

13. Cheating on a spouse is not just a Republican thing

It crosses party lines.

[maxrandb]

16. Thanks for making my point

Opposition Research is also NOT "just a Retrumplican thing"

Apparently, neither is using "private email" for the matter.

Can't figure out why the MSM promotes 10x's the coverage to smearing Dem that they do Retrumplicans.

Guess they know that pushing wild conspiracy theories about the Clinton's is a multi-billion dollar cottage industry.

You could get a fucking monkey to sit in Tweety's seat just pushing a button that displays a "Clinton Bad" banner across the screen and he'd attract 65% of Retrumplicans to watch.

We need to start using the same language and attack dog mentality that the Retrumplicans have been using for decades.

[oberliner]

17. Understood

Personally, I don't agree that we should use the tactics that Republicans use, but I understand the impetus to do so.

[kcr]

18. Way to miss the point.

But I guess you did make another one. There is no way to win with right wingers.

[oberliner]

19. Thanks

I do think that is a valid point. You can't really win with right wingers.

[melman]

8. That's a job that you can only get

If you are not qualified. If you're not bad at it they'll never put you on TV.

[coolsandy]

9. I already sent Chris a Tweet asking him to please say when Hillary "Lied" about the dossier research

No response yet. I think he should receive a load of tweets about his accusations.

[RandiFan1290]

12. They won't allow anyone that is effective

If you make a good point and throw their hypocrisy in their face you will never be invited back. They want doormats like the weenies they bring on fox news to pose as 'democrats'

[Orrex]

15. About 80% of the time, Matthews is straight-up, vomit-inducing unbearable

Another 18% of the time, he's simply unwatchable.

But 2% of the time he gets something right on the money, so much of DU considers him a credible figure.


He's garbage, and he's been garbage for at least decades. I doesn't surprise me in the slightest to hear that he's still beating up on Clinton.
