Mathews is going off about the south

[Renew Deal]

Something about him being tired that the south being made to look like the good guys in the movies.

He is out of his mind.

[skooooo]

1. Details please!!

[Neecy]

2. it was hysterical

He called movies that showed the south as heroic during the Civil War "crapola"....lol. Heads are exploding south of the Mason-Dixon line as I type.

[Renew Deal]

4. He's going to hurt the Democrats because he did it during our convention

:banghead:

[Barack_America]

12. Not when he says it at 12:15am Eastern.

It's all good and an interesting perspective, I thought.

[skooooo]

5. A lot of people ...

...justify sympathy with the South. I just can't reach that far.

[27inCali]

15. all those guys who fought in they grey uniforms

are burning in hell right now.

[tsuki]

22. It is good to know that God posts on DU. nt

[PM7nj]

3. Here he goes again!

:rofl:

[Davis_X_Machina]

6. The gravamen of his complaint...

...is the meme, fostered over the years, that real American-ness is somehow proportional to Southern-ness. Not made very clearly, though.

As a Mainer, I don't have a problem with that.

[HopeFor2006]

7. He later qualified it as the 1930"s Hollywood moguls

[angee_is_mad]

8. He's on Fiyah tonite!!!!!

What is going on with Christopher? I heard he was really sick. Maybe he had an epiphany?

[Awsi Dooger]

9. He's also losing his voice

They needed that commercial break for his sake.

[AlCzervik]

10. Maybe he could challenge the entire South to a duel.

[PM7nj]

11. HA!

[Barack_America]

14. I'd be satisfied by Pat Buchanan...

He seems pretty much representative of the worst of the South.

[AlCzervik]

16. Zell Miller could be his second.

[Barack_America]

18. Lol. Absolutely. nt

[TheDonkey]

13. DAYUM! Are they talking about this on the MSM!?!?! Holy shit

wow, good for them!

[Barack_America]

17. Not "them". Just him.

Say what you will about Matthews and his antics, but he's actually a remarkably informed person. His interpretation is not always on, but he is informed.

[ChiciB1]

19. He May Say He's An Independent... And Maybe He Is NOW... But I Recall

a "Tweety" who was an aide for Tip O'Neill, a LIBERAL Speaker of The House. From time to time I've heard Repukes respond to his questions by saying... well "your" party, this or that!

Down deep I feel he's still a Democrat. I haven't watched MSM for some time now, but when Biden was picked he seemed VERY EXCITED and praised the choice. Most of the day he was complimentary about him. I actually felt he showed a little bias in favor of the Dems.

JMHO!

[Renew Deal]

20. kick for the morning crowd

:kick:

[ellie]

21. Au contraire

I thought he was on fire last night. I watched/listened to MSNBC all night and Tweety had me laughing.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

23. What's going on with Tweety these days? Never thought I would ever say this...

He's right. And, I'm a daughter of the American South. I know how the south seems to always be glorified or treated with nobility.

He's not out of his mind. He knows of what he speaks and people are tired of the South being so backwards in its thinking. Southerners have never gotten over losing the Civil War. And that's the main problem. The Southern Strategy works and I don't see that changing any time soon.
