:rofl:

I'll even give Tweety some credit for this. Briefly. :)

[LakeSamish706]

1. Tweety is killing this guy, Tweety is getting really pissed. n/t

[Enrique]

2. Kevin's voice squeaks in panic at 3:36

:rofl:

[LakeSamish706]

4. I'm watching it live and laughing my ass off at this shitwit... What a dumb...

Republican ass.... Yaps and doesn't have a clue what the hell he is talking about.

[banjosareunderrated]

39. "Shitwit" Hahahaha!! thx for that.

I've never heard that colloquialism and I plan to use it quite a bit, with your permission. Hahahahaha! Thx LakeSamish. It's been a year or so of trying to find the right word to describe the moran that is Kevin James and the rest of the 'em. You served up perfection. Cheers!

[bigdarryl]

3. dick head got his ASS!!!! smacked down by Tweety

Tweety WHAT DID HE DO KEVIN!!!! Mark Green:Stop digging yourself a whole

[sasquatch]

5. Pathway to 9/11

:rofl:

[Parche]

11. 9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11

Thats all the Fukwad right wingers talk about, it happened on Bush's watch, and the CIA and Cheney were responsible for it happening.....:hi:

[sasquatch]

12. It's like their version of Passion of the Christ

Passion of the Douchebags
:rofl:

[King Coal]

80. I have to defend Kevin James.

He can't help it, they give him these talking points (i.e. "appeasement", "energize/legitimatize", "speak from strength"), and then send them out with a blank slate. Since Kevin is my client, he pleads guilty. He asking for mercy and promises to sell shoes from now on. Catalog sales only.

In all honesty, I don't feel one bit sorry for him. He doesn't care about truth, in fact, he shuns it. Piss on him. Just another Moroni Moran looking in his hat and talking out his ass.

[King Coal]

[dmr]

26. Right - his source is a fricking movie 'Pathway To Lies'

I'm still boycotting ABC over that ignorant piece of crap.

I had to change the channel because I couldn't take this excitable guy. I thought I had stumble over to Faux for a minute there!

Guess he thought he needed to make an impression since he made it to the big-time by being on MSNBC and 'Hardball'. No way will he be asked to return. Of course he'll blame Mathews and the liberal media for not being able to handle the truth. Gee, if they'd only watched movies like him, they all would be just as intelligently informed!

[mwb970]

54. You know it's bad when you switch to Fox News to catch your breath.

I've done it too.

[Grinchie]

91. Isn't KRLA ClearChannel, owned by Disney, who also owns ABC?

He'll get a nice box of chocolates for promoting "Fairytale to 9/11"

[Xipe Totec]

6. Un-be-lie-va-ble

Uh, maybe if I scream louder, it will be more credible?

Um, no, Kevin, you're an idiot, you know you're an idiot, and you know we know you're an idiot...


:rofl:

[Crunchy Frog]

17. He doesn't usually get called on it.

That's what he found so shocking about this.

[PassingFair]

57. They HARDLY EVER get called on their bullshit...

that's what makes this so SPECIAL!

Wonder what got into Tweety?

Terry McAwful was pissing him off the other
night, too.

[Carolina]

7. It was truly a great smackdown

Tweety nailed that loudmouth foul with truth, facts, history and my favorite: You don't know what you're talking about!!

If only that happened more often with Bushbots, Rush, O'Lielly and all their ilk.

[Submariner]

61. I'd give a weeks paycheck to the DNC if I could live to see Rush

Dumbaugh get caught 'ignorant' like that with Tweety. Rush knows he is a mental lightweight, which is why he NEVER enters a venue that could nail his butt to the wall like Kevin the twerp.

[rusty quoin]

8. Ha Ha. Foot in mouth disease. What a thinker.

[DS1]

9. someone please shoot that slug in the head

Jesus, anything to shut his stupid mouth up!

[thunder rising]

10. I'd swear South Park episode. James' voice squawking at mach 5.

[qanda]

13. The part that I love is when he starts saying "energized, legitimized"

And he keeps repeating it like it's going to somehow make him sound like he knows what he's talking about. Hilarious!

[Da Noid]

14. Where did they find this guy...and can we please put him back?

How did Kevin James attempt to justify Dub's policies in the Middle East and blame President Clinton for 9/11?

He cited "The Pathway To 9/11"...A DOCUDRAMA*!!!!


*See also: WORK OF FICTION!

[Crunchy Frog]

15. LOL! I don't usually think much of Tweety, but he really hit the bullseye this time.

:rofl:

[Poll_Blind]

16. Wow, that WAS a fucking amazing call-out smack-down! BA-BOOOOOOM! n/t

PB

[Sunnyshine]

18. Anyone got a smelly sock?

We could shove it in Kevin James mouth and dump water down his throat for a few,
just to make him see how pathetic the Republican agenda is. Nah. No can do. We are better than that.
We can torture him with the truth though! Tweety wath weealy thpittin mad. :wtf:

[Jack Rabbit]

19. Mr. James wasted everybody's time

No, he obviously knows nothing about history and we need look no further than his citing of The Path to 911 as a source of information to understand why he knows nothing.

He might be able to get away with that on right wing hate radio, where the listeners who call in are no better informed than he, but he can't take that show on the road like he just tried. Oh, to be a fly on the wall when Matthews had a word with his booking agent after that segment.

On an old timer note: when I lived in the Los Angeles area (late sixties/early seventies), KRLA was a pretty good rock station with an imaginative, entertaining (and left-leaning) news team called the Credibility Gap. How long have they been putting this idiot on the air?

[raystorm7]

20. Just look at his WILD EYES! Thats what got me the most. Crazy bastard.

[BanzaiBonnie]

59. His eyes were dilated becaused he was a trapped animal

We are beginning to see them melt down.

I think this must be the guy that they're using as the model for a new bit on Saturday Night Live.

[provis99]

21. Tweety got the Munich thing slightly wrong, too

Hitler only got the small Sudetenland part of Czechoslovakia, not half of Czechoslovakia.

[long_green]

103. I caught that too

The poor schmuck was too uninformed to know how to use it.

[rch35]

104. I think thats just something that happens when youre talking fast like that...

sometimes little distinctions get lost in the heat of the moment, haha

[Coexist]

22. the cuban missle crisis reference was priceless.

that was wonderful, glad I tivo'd it!

[stlsaxman]

23. THREE CHEERS FOR TWEETY!!!

"HIP-HIP -- HOORAY!!!"

"HIP-HIP -- HOORAY!!!"

"HIP-HIP --

HOORAAAYYYY!!!!!!!!

[wtmusic]

24. "Neverlin Chaimble"?

OMFG. The guy's getting hammered. What an oaf.

[hisownpetard]

74. Yeah, I caught that, too. Just incredible!

[MannyGoldstein]

25. I Like Tweety

I'm one of the three on DU who like him - and it's because he has a finely-tuned bullshit meter, as can be seen in this clip.

[MirrorAshes]

28. I do too. He can be really frustrating at times but he has moments of clarity.

And when he does, they are usually very worthwhile. His sparring with Buchanan yesterday was fairly epic, and lets not forget that he was opposed to the war from the beginning. He can blow with the wind, he is completely unreliable, but he's also a fairly interesting character who can really surprise you from time to time.

[Ned_Devine]

29. I must be one of the other three

...for the same reason

[CoffeeCat]

95. I absolutely love Tweety...

I think he's one of the best in the business. He really does call out
bullshit when he hears it--coming from both sides.

I don't know how many people read the big article on Tweety, that was in
the New York Times Magazine a couple of weeks ago. Tweety really isn't
a big insider. He kind of operates on the outer edges.

I really love him, and I think he's terrific.

This interview is pretty much par for the course for Tweety...he'll
call bullshit on anyone, and he does it with a smile on his face. He's
a very skilled, likable interviewer!

[baldguy]

27. If Kevin is so gung-ho for attacking & killing brown people, why isn't he in uniform?

But of course he's an ignorant neocon coward.

[Grinchie]

94. Because they would find him curled up, sucking his thumb the first day of Basic Training N/T

[RBInMaine]

30. GOOD FOR YOU TWEETY. YOU MADE THAT RW IDIOT LOOK LIKE THE IDIOT HE IS.

[The Political Jerk]

31. ASS!

[aaronbees]

32. "I think we just had the sideshow"

Way to go, Tweety! Freakin' spanked him on the point of appeasement versus talking, which is the whole lame ass Repub talking point here in deliberately conflating the two. God, Kevin James is an asshat, just like Bush. :rofl:

[TheFarseer]

33. OMG, hilarious!!!

I have hardly ever seen someone made to look so stupid.

[Chisox08]

34. It's about time the RW talking points gets challenged on the M$M

Kevin James was made to look like a fool. I'm not an expert but I know that Neville Chamberlain made the mistake of giving Hiler what he wanted. If you look at the Bush adminstration Bush gave Osama bin Ladin what he wanted. Osama wanted US troops out of Saudi Arabia, he got that because they are all in Iraq. He wanted Saddam Hussien overthrown and a non-secular government in Iraq, we did that for him also. We gave Osama what he wanted just like Chamberlain gave Hitler what he wanted.

[matt007]

35. I enjoyed that more than the beer i was drinking when i watched it.

That pinhead reminded me of some of the college republicans who slept through history classes and then tried to argue points in poli sci classes. utterly priceless.

[Arugula Latte]

113. Their grasp of history goes back to ... uh, Regan brought down communism.

Singlehandedly.

'Cuz he was so awesome, and stuff.

:eyes:

[matt007]

116. lol yea

singlehandedly took down the Berlin Wall WITH HIS TEETH! lol with Maggs Thatcher cheerleading on the side lol

[pa28]

36. I liked the Cuban Missile Crisis reference.

This is what you get when you take the people from "Jaywalking" and give them absolute power for eight years.

[barack the house]

37. They really should cut the mic when they are stopping fre flow of debate...

Free speech ins't just for one person.

[casus belli]

41. Then they would say they weren't given a chance to answer the question

They handled it exactly right. They let him blabber on so there would be no doubt that this guy had nothing to say.

[elzenmahn]

38. Beautiful....

...and props to Tweety - reminded me of his smackdown of Talkin' Michelle Malkin four years ago.

He can be a tool alright, but every once in a while, he impresses, even with low-hanging fruits like the "energized/legitimized" twit tonight and the Malkin-thing.

[progdonkey]

40. "it's the key term"

Right there is the extent of thought in the Right Wing punditocracy. They all get the fax that says "today's word is 'appeasement'" and they just run with it, hoping no one asks them simple, pointed questions.

I love how his voice cracks when he realizes Tweety's made an ass of him. Like he's getting an atomic wedgie or something. :spray:

Tweety's still a misogynist asshole, though I guess that's better than being a total fucking moran. ;-)

[judy a]

43. softball

he was just trying to prove he was smarter than the dweeb.

if he really wanted to play HARDball, he would have said that Bush has balls talking about appeasing the nazis when his own grandfather was "trading with the enemy" and helped bankroll the nazis.

[mwb970]

56. He might have mentioned bush's negotiations with N Korea too.

And Gaddhafi. And the fact that we negotiated with the USSR throughout the Cold War, with their missiles pointed at our cities the whole time.

How many times? "Diplomacy" and "appeasement" are different animals. Sheesh.

[Limelight]

42. Ok, so it's not politically mature to say, but seriously?

"Pwnd!!!"

:rofl:

Seriously man, don't defend a historical reference you don't understand. Just say "I'm not quite sure who he is, but I know this..." Show a little humility and you're less likely to get your ass handed to you moron.

[Wetzelbill]

44. that was one of the finest beating I've ever seen nt

[BayjanDem]

45. I used to work in radio

And all I can say is: THIS GUY HAS A RADIO SHOW??????? Are you KIDDING ME????? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Wow I need to dig up some airchecks. what an idiot. I was waiting for him to say "What did Chamberlin do? He scored 100 points against the Knicks and had sex with 20,000 women."

[DFW]

46. This RW jerk forgot something

If you don't know something, SHUT UP. Change the subject, anything. This guy
not only stuck his foot in his mouth, he didn't stop until his toes were sticking
out his ass. He tried to make up in volume for what he lacked in knowledge. He failed.

[stlsaxman]

48. (pssst- don't give them any clues for next time!) n/t

:rofl:

[DFW]

63. I think the likelihood of a blowhard asshole like that listening to me...

...is on the small side, but thanks for the warning! LOL

[bulloney]

47. I really have to hand it to Matthews. When a RW talking head goes off like James,

the host needs to call his/her bluff. It rarely ever happens. This was a treat watching Matthews calling his bluff. When interviewing these idiots, you have to tell them to give specifics and not just the general rhetoric that Karl Rove faxed them earlier in the day.

James was really getting desperate, going back to the old standby--it's all Bill Clinton's fault.

These RW radio hosts always sound so powerful when they're running their shows because they can filter dissenting opinions and make it look like they have all of the answers and everyone's behind them. This has gone on too long and the country has been going through a systematic dumbing down process because of it.

We need to save this video and use it as an example of how radio has deteriorated in the last 15 years or so. James had no substance to his case. Just yell and blather rhetoric. Notice that the other guest was sitting calmly. He came across as more secure about his beliefs. Whenever you have to yell and blurt out rhetoric, you come across as the idiot that you are.

[peacetalksforall]

53. Never trust Tweety. He would never do that to Pat Robertson..

I'm from Camp No Trust - never trust GE or Tweety. Trusting Tweety is the same as trusting Rove.

[shadowknows69]

49. Ok, I admit I didn't know off the top of my head what Chamberlain did

But I didn't go on TV and pretend I did. Priceless smiting by Mr. Matthews.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

50. That man was so rude!

Talking over everyone and spouting his ignorance. Sadly, the mindless ones only hear what he says--my boss being one of the mindless ones. They swallow this bilge whole and don't even know what "appeasement" means. And of course they don't know history. Matthews should have shut off the idiot's mic and let the other fellow talk.

[prairierose]

72. But this is what the rw and their noise machine ...

have been doing for how long now...25 years or so. They are rude and ignorant but very loud bullies. And because they are so loud, which helps disguise some of the ignorance, people think that there are many of them. There are many on the air that is true. On the ground, they really are not that large a part of the population but because they are so loud and so rude, people think that they are many. Remember, most of the time, if you stand up to bullies, they will leave. No one has been standing up to them for much too long. It would be wonderful if this began a trend of rational people challenging the ignorance of rw hate talkers and all of their associated bullies.

[Window]

51. Oh man. Tweety handed him his ass!

[sasquatch]

69. On a silver pladder with a garnished border

[Window]

115. LOL!

[Ganja Ninja]

52. And this guy has a radio show.

I guess that shows how knowledgeable you have to be, to be a right wing talking head. If you can fog a mirror from 20 paces you qualify.

[MinM]

55. Is there a wingnut out there that corporate radio won't pimp?nt

[Android3.14]

58. We should describe talking out your ass as "Pulling a KJ"

Or
"You're pulling a KJ out of your ass, Rush."

Or,
"Yo, Coulter, that KJ you gave me the other day felt really good."

Or
"O'Reily, Are you trying to be an idiot, or is this just a pile of KJ?"

[Harry Monroe]

70. You'd let Coulter give you a "KJ"??

And it "felt good"? Ugh!! I'd have to get psychiatric counseling after she gave me a "KJ", reach around, or any other such thing. The horror, the horror!!

[Android3.14]

96. Good point

replace "really good" with "like a slobbering toothless chihuahua."

[NM Independent]

117. Reach Around...

HA!!!!!!!

:rofl:

[ToughLuck]

60. Wow..what a complete jerk..this was too funny, but Kevin gave me a headache..lol

[oyvind]

62. My ears are still ringing from that douche

And the guy from Air America couldn't get a word in, through all that white noise. Time well spent for him, I guess.

[fascisthunter]

64. Typical Right Wing Idiot Neo-Nut

Talk about shit with a total air of arrogance without knowing the facts...why? Because it works on the other dumbies out there who don'yt know the facts either and just buy into the guy's demeanor. All perception all the time.... no facts, just BS.

Oh... he also managed to shut Mark Greene out of the debate which is another tactic the right wing has used for years. This know-nothing hack that was told to lie, talked loudly and right over Mark so that Mark doesn't get to contrast the idiot know-nothing. All perception all the time... this is how right wingers get fooled. They perceive but just don't know all the facts. It's what the GOP and other corporatists have been doing to this country for too long.

[ProfessorPlum]

65. Oooh - that gave me chills. I had to watch it twice.

More like this!

[Phred42]

66. I saw this last night - This clown was so deranged that even Tweety couldn't take it

:rofl:

We won't see this little twit again.

Bet he went out and got REALLY drunk after that show

[BlueJac]

67. That Kevin guy is such a moron.....

That is how Bush got into office, just plain old bullshit!

[DefenseLawyer]

68. And this moran worked for 3 years as an assistant United States Attorney

prosecuting federal crimes. Boy, that's a confidence builder in our justice system.

[PleaseSayItAintSo]

111. YES!

That's what scares the bejesus out of me!

Three years as Assistant U.S. Attorney:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_James_(broadcaster)

[Crowman1979]

71. When you rely on talking points and propaganda for your Argument,

history and fact gets thrown out the window.

[Harry Monroe]

73. Jesus, what a douchebag!!

I'll admit it, I hadn't heard of Kevin James before this. When I heard about this, I honestly thought they were talking about the actor Kevin James, thinking "what qualifies him to be commenting on this subject?" But after seeing that, Kevin James the actor is about as qualified as Kevin James the RW ignorant asshole to be commenting on a subject such as this.

BTW, anyone who has studied any history in school should remember the phrase "peace in our time" attributed to Neville Chamberlain. Appeasement means giving in to what an adversary wants to appease, placate, pacify and satisfy him/her in hopes of avoiding confrontation. Quite different than just talking. Neville Chamberlain was completely naive. Even his successor, Winston Churchill, was in favor of talking and negotiating. One of his quotes that I remember was this: "Jaw, Jaw is better than War, War". Unfortunately, Chamberlain's complete appeasement and capitulation to Hitler, giving him what he wanted, whetted Hitler's appetite for even more territory. Chamberlain's problem was that he failed to see Hitler's designs on Europe and the world, something that anyone with half a brain could have figured out.

That being said, we need to get this distinction out there. There is a vast difference between talking to an adversary and giving him what he wants. Obama and his people need to hit back hard on this.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peace_for_our_time

Edited to add another link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munich_Agreement

I can remember studying this in world history in high school and college. Where did this idiot go to school??

[wryter2000]

75. OMG

:rofl:

I think Tweety realizes the tide has turned and has decided to shift alliances. Sleazy, but I'll take it if we get to see more of that.

:rofl:

[Bleacher Creature]

76. This is why I CANNOT STAND Tweety. . .

He's obviously a bright guy and knows perfectly well the difference between right and wrong. He also recognizes that the job of a journalist isn't just to repeat what people say (or give them a platform to speak), but also to analyze the facts and point out errors.

So the question you have to ask is why he decides to do the right thing when it's some back-bench right-wing nobody he's interviewing, but then stands idly by while the subjects of his man-crushes continue to mislead?

[graywarrior]

77. There's seven minutes I'll never get back

How has that little dweeb managed to live this long?

[Irishonly]

78. I Didn't Think Tweety Had It In Him Anymore

I stopped watching Hardball a long time ago. I read about it here and then decided to watch it. I was impressed.

[Time for change]

79. It was impressive, I have to admit, but

that doesn't change my very low opinion of Tweety.

Tweety has done so many nasty and grossly unfair hit jobs on Democratic candidates that I will never trust him. Just recently, he made a big deal point out of his opinion that Obama is not a "regular guy" because he ordered orange juice instead of coffee in a diner, and because he's apparently a poor bowler. He pointed out that much of Obama's support comes from African Americans and highly educated "elite" white people, and then he asked his guest why Obama can't get more support among "regular people".

He also did hit job after hit job on Al Gore, repeating lie after lie about him, and claiming that Gore would "lick the bathroom floor" to be President. I feel sure that it cost Gore the election.

So, why does Tweety occasionally do good things, like in this interview? Perhaps he's received a lot of flack for his recent hit jobs on Obama, so he had to restore a little bit of credibility. No doubt he is talented -- but he is still a snake.

[Irishonly]

82. I Agree

I will never forget the everyone is a neocon now. He is a sexist monster and rude but I have to admit I may be a hypocrite. I love it when he gets rude with a neocon but I yell at him when he is not being truthful about democrats.

[Time for change]

107. I love what he did to Kevin James

It was skillfully done, and it was the right way to handle him.

But admitting that doesn't mean that I have to trust Chris Matthews or else consider myself a hypocrite.

Saying that Kevin James doesn't know what he's talking about was perfectly appropriate, rude or not. Here's a guy that goes on national TV and tries to make a presidential candidate out to be an "appeaser", when he apparently doesn't even know the meaning of the word or the context in which he was using it. He deserves to be shown up for what he is, and he deserves to have his miserable career destroyed. Matthews was right to do what he did to him.

But was he right to call Obama an "elitist" for drinking orange juice, being a poor bowler, and attracting educated white voters to his campaign. HELL NO!!!!

And saying that doesn't make us hypocrites.

[skygazer]

81. Jesus Christ, my kids knew what Neville Chamberlain did when they were 12

This guy is a moran of unparalleled moranity. :rofl:

[RobertSeattle]

83. This James guy is supposed to be a lawyer

You wouldn' think he'd be so damn Shtupid.

[RainDog]

127. could he be another "Messiah University" graduate?

if so, is there any more glaring indictment of educational failure?

he is the media equivalent of that male prostitute that was suddenly a reporter - jeff gannon. gannon is probably not as stupid, tho.

it's really hard to tell the difference between the whores and the whores.

[bikesein]

84. This is a classic

I like how Tweety just starts laughing at him at a couple of points.

[georgecolombo]

86. Matthews Is A Bully

Don't get me wrong, I was delighted to see this little right wing creep get eviscerated in front of a national audience. It was entertaining and well deserved.

My issue, though, is that Matthews only confronts second tier players. He is like a schoolyard bully who only beats up on the little kids. Where is the pointed follow up for the Clinton and Bush spinners. When Matthews holds their feet to the fire, I'll be impressed.

[Career Prole]

87. Welcome to marginalization, you blustering minor luminary of

the soon-to-be fading Chickenhawk Talk Network^©. The nation won't miss you.

[Hissyspit]

88. Why didn't someone say "Pathway to 9/11" was garbage? They shouldn't have let that go.

It was blatant fictionalized propaganda.

[Captain Angry]

89. If only there were a technology. One that Chris Matthews had access to.

One that could temporarily disable the microphone of the person yelling.

A simple explanation that, it is not the content, but the volume of your discussion that is causing you to be muted.

You will be muted again when you scream and talk over the other guest.

I love that Chris actually spent the time telling him that he didn't know what he was talking about, and to explain what actually happened. A tiny history lesson. How fun was that?

[Grinchie]

90. Unfortunately, facts or History are not part of most Republican discussions.

Facts are old school, Sound bites are the norm.

Tens seconds of Rabid Dog attack are what the masses will remember, and once you call them out on facts, like Chris Matthews attempts, most honorably, they tend to respond with "I'll Knock You Down"!

Pathetic children pretending to have a brain and the ability to make reasoned decisions for themselves. They have nothing if it isn't spoon fed to them by their keepers/masters.

One Aside, it did make me take a look at KRLA, and I now see that it is a cesspool outlet for the Repug's in L.A.

Is Your Colon RoundUp Ready? Ask Monsanto!

92. omg i fall more in love with msnbc everyday

olbermann has emboldened msnbc. matthews is calling people out on bullshit and tells them, straight up, you are clueless, bro!!!!!! even that other dude, dan abrams did something similar right after covering that instance of playin hardball. i love it.

[lebkuchen]

100. MSNBC knows which way the typhoon is blowing

and it ain't right. The network either adapts or goes extinct, and that includes Matthews.

[robertpaulsen]

93. Called his ignorance for what it was: "PATHETIC!"

Thanks for not letting go of that sniveling weasel, Chris. :patriot:

[ooglymoogly]

97. Kevin James; The nitwit poster child of right wing idiocy.

TOTAL STUPIDITY; Trying to defend their ridiculous notions that are so obviously wrong and try to prove their veracity and "logic" by the shallowest arguments and just out shouting anyone who calls them on their retarded stupidity.

[Ian_rd]

98. Holy Fuck! Matthews just wouldn't let him go! KRnt

[GreenTea]

99. Two great days in a row for Matthews, first Pat Buchanan & now this republican imbecile....What's

going on with Chris?

[Frisbee]

102. Maybe...

all of that time he's spending on Tuesday nights with KO is starting to have a positive effect. :)

[Frisbee]

101. OMFG...

This guy is the biggest media asshole I have seen in quite sometime. Tweety just scored a few points in my book for calling him on it. Sadly, had that been GWB that Tweety was talking to, I doubt he could have answered any better. And to think, this idiot and many more like him have platforms where they can run their mouths talking about things they know nothing about and repeating the RW lies all to an audience of millions.

[No DUplicitous DUpe]

112. Excellent point...

...And a hat tip to Chris for how he handled the interview with that idiot.

I don't think "Tweety" is respectful, and I've stopped refering to him using that name. But that's just me.

K&R!

105. Now .... who is this programming intended to appeal to??? Who watches it---????

Good Goddess . . . TURN IT OFF --- !!!!

I agree, this is merely an act --- he's got an assignment and he's out there fulfilling it.

While corporate-media will go on forever running crap like this and taking losses as their viewer numbers drop because it's really about blocking any real news getting out -- their advertisers won't keep running ads on programs like this if there are no viewers.

TUNE OUT ---

[defendandprotect]

106. And still no mention of the Bush family and financing Hitler . . . nor Iran-Contra---!!!!

Evidently, these are dots that corporate-media doesn't want connected ---

How about "The October Surprise" -- ???

And/or Jimmy Carter's rescue missions which failed three times due to their very poor luck
in the desert, apparently without the necessary equipment to keep sand out of the engines!!!
Yep -- Jimmy Carter had a lot of bad luck!!! :nuke:

[defendandprotect]

108. WHY do I have a little exploding thing that says: Do Not Donate to DU?????

[ghostsofgiants]

126. Because they occasionally replace avatars during fund drives...

And this time around they are using ironic/self-deprecating humour in the drive. Had you not noticed?

[defendandprotect]

128. That's "self-deprecating" .... "humor" . . . ?????

did anyone notice --- ??? !!! ???

[ghostsofgiants]

129. Yes.

???!?!?!??!onety-eleven!!3!//?

[defendandprotect]

130. I'm tone deaf on that one . . . !! ???

[ingac70]

109. These wingnut radio shills all do the same thing....

spout the exact same talking points coming from the WH over and over all day long, and none of them have clue one about the comparisons they make.... they have no clue what they are saying. They are nothing more than parrots.

[jgraz]

110. James almost starts crying when Tweety calls him a "blank slate"

:rofl:

[nichomachus]

114. What a Republican douchebag -- but I repeat myself

[LSK]

118. how many times did Tweety ask "what did he do?"

:rofl:

[Indenturedebtor]

120. I know right! Tweety is still a douche.

They'll need to replace their pundits before they get any real cred with me. These WH sack huggers have been parroting the party line for too long to ever have any credibility with me... but this was nice to see.

They should have superimposed a dunce cap on that RW hack.

[Rhiannon12866]

119. If I have to see this replayed one more time on MSNBC, I think I'm going to scream...

This guy is hopeless. Anybody on DU would have been a more informed guest and Tweety was genuinely pissed, unusual for him... x(

[FatDave]

121. Damn!

Sylevester's not the only one to be pwned by Tweety!

[ExPatLeftist]

122. Hilarious. I wish that these idiots would get called out more often. n/t

[drm604]

123. I think this is how they're trained.

His behavior seems typical of right-wing mouthpieces. Repeat the talking points and if someone disputes you or tries to make you go into detail, shout even louder and faster.

[driver8]

124. Kevin James is a dumbfuck.

Who did he blow to get a radio show?

What an idiot.

[skooooo]

125. Do they pump these guys up on meth before putting them on tv??

This guy is a maniac.

131. The perennial problem of conservatives: many opinions, few facts.
