Chris Mathews distrurbs me

[angus]

He keeps referring to the slaughtering of the "innocents" or republicans who did nothing wrong but "be republican". That bothers me so much, because he is basically saying that the fact that these people who have whored out for republicans are "innocents". His true colors shine through when he says crap like this, but my response is basically, if you are a republican and you give Bush a blank check to do whatever he wants to do, then you need to lose. End of discussion...

[angus]

1. embarrassing mis-spelling

I've been up all night....Chris Mathews actually "disturbs" me.

[magellan]

5. He's disturbed. Like most Repugs.

Feint, parry...feint, parry. That's all he's good at. Tonight he got the touché from the Dems. :rofl:

[BrotherBuzz]

8. Try editing your OP...

and unembarrass yourself. Just an idea. ;)

[Rockstone]

42. he does distrub me

i am deeply distrubbed by him. its even worse than being disturbed.

[ShortnFiery]

2. He's an a** - he's there for confusion and disinformation

He can flip on issues 180% within the same news casts.

Why MSNBC keeps him, even lauds the self-important horse's patootie is a mystery to me. :shrug:

[Gloria]

3. He's been bemoaning all these great "moderate Republicans" who lost...

those great legislators, workhorse....completely ignoring the fact that they voted to enable all of Bushco's crappy policies.

Tweety is disgusting.

[anitar1]

17. I heard all of that from Tweety tonight.

And he was rather patronizing toward KO when their stint was over. He praised a bit and then fluffed KO off--I thought. But Keith took it with his most dignified demeanor, which left Tweety looking like a dolt. Matthews personality stinks and he was angry over the vote.

[No Exit]

27. Keith Olberman, former sportscaster, is ten times more articulate than Tweety,

the "serious" news reporter.

Just seeing them together was such a contrast. There was Olbermann, who speaks extremely well, who seldom messes up a word or phrase, who is well-groomed and stately looking, who clearly has a very large vocabulary which he uses well, and who has a very quick intelligence.

Next to him, this blathering guy Tweety, with the northeastern accent (I thought news guys were supposed to eschew regional accents), who speaks way too fast, so fast that he slurs his words, and who engages in bizarre hero-worship instead of serious reporting.

And Keith is the one who was the sportscaster. Leave it to Tweety to make a sports buff look like an intellectual by comparison. (Not criticizing sportscasters--just noticing that they have a different image than do those who affect the airs and graces of "serious" reporters.)

[jwirr]

36. I am one of those people who censors my own TV watching, last

night i watch MSNBC because of KO. When the idiot Matthews was interviewing Howard Dean, I was furious. It reinforced my no TV policy. He is a rude and ignorant ass. I hope that Dems will boycott his show - refuse to go on and/or watch.

[No Exit]

23. Wasn't that nauseating?

I heard the Tweetster actually go through the list of his friends who went down. He had to make sure everyone knew what a "good friend" this or that one was to him. He is absolutely obsessed with letting the great unwashed audience out there know, "Hey, I hobnob with people in power! I actually KNOW these people!"

I had to laugh when I heard him talking about "Jimmy Baker" the other day. Tweety wants to make sure everyone knows that HE, Chris Matthews, actually personally KNOWS James Baker. We are all supposed to be envious... personally, I am not envious--I know just as many criminals as HE knows, from sitting in a courtroom. :)

[July]

28. Yeah, and he fancies himself one of the "regular guys,"

yet he's completely out of touch with outside-the-Beltway Americans.

[Cha]

30. It is kinda weird how

some of the moderates lost and then some of the real malignant assholes have won to slither back to congress another day.

[anotherdrew]

4. of course, now it'll be more 'knife in the back' rhetoric for a decade from these clowns

it's the only song they know besides "fear-fight-kill"

[casus belli]

6. He also keeps asking if Kerry's botched joke hurt Dems.

Uh, no Chris.

It didn't.

[July]

29. ?? No Republican gains = Kerry hurt Dems?

What kind of goofball logic is that?

[Old and In the Way]

7. He thought he was a powerbroker. KO showed him what a real powerbroker is.

Thanks KO...you are the man who knows what Americans are thinking. Chris? He's a loser.

[Duncan Grant]

9. No offense but, change the channel. (n/t)

[Janice325]

10. He's been talking over his "guests" and his co-chair

Keith Olbermann for hours.
He's really rude, and yes, disturbing in many ways.
Keith just left. Blech.

[barb162]

11. He always does that to just about everyone.

Only once or twice I have I seen hio not interrupt someone. He was doing it to Howard Dean earlier. He's just an ignorant interviewer

[TriMetFan]

12. I agree with everything thats been said about Mathews.

What a jerk.

[gristy]

13. He had me yelling at the TeeVee several times tonight

The man needs to be committed. The insanity emanating from his mouth was nuts.

[DemInMI]

14. Another all-nighter here as well......

....and I've been switching between MSNBC and CNN the whole night (with an occasional peek at the funeral services going on at Faux).....I agree, Chris Mathews is annoying.

[newyawker99]

32. Hi DemInMI!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[morgan2]

15. he gets off on being contrary

he gets people angry, and its great for ratings.

[BlueEyedSon]

22. Really? I find he SUCKS UP to the admin's apologists

[DeepModem Mom]

16. I don't recall any personal accolades for any Democrats...

from Tweety, except his kind words for Harold Ford, Jr. I never saw such sucking up to the Repubs.

[antonialee839]

20. He's still whining about what a shame

it is for these poor wingnuts.

[Dogmudgeon]

18. He also tangled with Joe Scarborough

I know that most of us don't like Joe Scarborough, but apparently Tweety really hit him, ignorantly, in a sore spot. I'm not even quite sure of what it was about, but Joe was livid.

I don't often agree with Scarborough myself, but at least he has some interesting things to say about his own party, pro and anti. Tweety just screams and talks over other people. And he said a few dumbass things tonight. His whoring for the GOP was palpable, especially in favor of Jim Talent (who lost to Claire McCaskill) and George "Macaca" Allen (probably losing to Jim Webb). And with this new, energized attitude from the Democrats, he won't be getting a pass for it much longer.

But it must be said that Olbermann came off quite well as his "foil" -- and probably better overall. This could be as much of a disaster for Matthews as it was for his brother (running for lieutenant-governor of PA with Lynn Swann), or his favorite party. The whole "I'm a Democrat but a conservative Democrat" charade has just about run out of steam.

--p!

[antonialee839]

19. You know what cracks me up? Tweety refusing to call the

election for Webb. How very cautious of him. If this was George Bush......
It looks like under all that news-room makeup, most of the blood has drained from Tweety's face.

[BlueEyedSon]

21. And if he praised santorum one more time for his concession speech.....

:puke:

[WorseBeforeBetter]

34. Indeed...it was hardly "magnanimous" as Tweety was gushing

The Daily Show rapturing Santorum, however, was classic!

[malaise]

24. See with poor Chris

his brother lost.

[Phillycat]

25. Any sane person should be disturbed by Chris Matthews.

The very fact of his existence alone is disturbing. :shrug:

[pdxmom]

26. Poor Tweety. All his friends are losers. This is going to make

his next dinner party very uncomfortable.

[Canuckistanian]

40. His dinner party invitations just got severely reduced

That's why he's so upset. All his Bushbot buds are tossed out.

And he's not likely to be invited to too many Democratic shindigs with the way he whored for the GOP.

[wildeyed]

31. I found that annoying, too.

He knows how the control of the House and Senate work. If they caucus with the R's, they have to go. Simple.

His coverage last night was beyond annoying. He kept badgering his guests like he was on Hardball, a show I don't like or watch. I wanted him to chill and let the guests talk, report the news, etc. He kept inserting his opinion into everything. I switched over to other channels a few times to get away from him.

[Z_I_Peevey]

33. I put my TV on cable news for the first time in years last night,

but I had to mute it almost immediately due to Tweety's insane screaming and spluttering. It just wasn't worth suffering through.

[candice]

35. Turn him off. No viewers would end his game...

He makes me puke when I get a glance of him. Watch KO, view honorable talking heads.

[Fleshdancer]

37. I swear he was drunk last night...or high on oxycotin

the crap coming out of his mouth is getting more ridiculous than usual.

[dogday]

38. Chris Matthews is disturbed nt

[flordehinojos]

39. he must be copy-cat-ing bush's fixed ideation with kill, killers, and killing.

except that the slaughtering is not the bush meat market in baghdad, it isn't even a meat market, it is democracy and votes bringing in sunshine, open air, bandages falling off a lot of the blocked by rove meanstream media and hope for change.

[sebastianj333]

41. He's an idiot

A closet conservative, and if he's HARDBALL, he needs a healty dose of Viagra!
Go Keith Olbermann!

[librechik]

43. Blood on everybody's hands cuz of Iraq

The Pukkes wanted to keep dipping into the bloodbath. They deserve it, they are NOT innocent (neither are dems who gave this person the power to make war--at least they want to take it back)
