Pundit Questions Criticism of Obama
A Semi-News/Semi-Satire from AzConservative ^ | 21 Feb 2009 | John Semmens

Posted on 02/22/2009 6:48:17 AM PST by John Semmens

MSNBC’s Chris Matthews raised the issue of who is entitled to question the Obama presidency at this stage.

“I mean, here we have CNBC’s Rick Santelli coming down hard on Barack’s proposal to have the government pick up the tab for people who’ve defaulted on their mortgages and he didn’t even vote for the guy,” Matthews complained. “It’s one thing for those of us on the winning team to advise the coach. But what are the guys from the other side doing in our huddle?”

Matthews suggested that “for the sake of nation’s collective well-being, the last election’s losers ought to ‘put a sock in it.’ It’s everyone’s duty to give President Obama a chance to implement his agenda without excessive criticism. Let’s give him a chance to determine how society’s resources are used without second guessing him.”

In related news, an Oklahoma City man was questioned by federal agents after local police cited him for displaying an anti-Obama sign. “The sign’s message was especially derogatory and violent toward the President,” said Secret Service spokesman, Seymore Fose. “The ‘abort Obama, not the unborn,’ slogan implies that the President ought to suffer the same sort of violent end suited to unwanted fetal material.”

Question for the day. How does Chris Matthews speak this idiocy without a functioning brain? Does he have a battery powered mouth controlled by someone else or is he demon possessed? He must have an IQ of one.

How do they propose to unstick the “tingler” from Obamas leg.

Just as you and the Democrats did during the last administration, right Matthews? What's the matter? That tingle running down your leg starting to itch?

It IS satire...but it’s a wee bit too close to reality. After all, I’ve just listened to several libtards in my immediate family explaining that dissent really isn’t appropriate now, and I should shut it and let the 0 get to work. Barry’s a delicate hothouse flower who can’t handle criticism.

I hear ya..Dissent was patriotic while W was in office, but now that “the one” is there, dissent is not to be tolerated, and anyone who does dissent is immediately labeled a racist..

Sadly none of us even consider that it could be satire.

Malaise Matthews certainly didn’t vote for Bush, but that never stopped him from second guessing and criticizing Bush. To suggest in a democracy that you should hold your criticism because you didn’t vote for someone is an absurd notion. If a conservating ever suggested this, they would be subject to ridicule.

That’s good, because I was getting my hackles up already. And it’s still so early this morning!

Matthews is such a wild eyed, tingly liberal there’s probably no satire that is not believable.

These days, we should probably put "(SATIRE)" after the headline. It's getting so hard to tell.

nah, if you do that it ruins everything and very few would actually read it..a fair warning of “satire” in the keywords is sufficient, along with getting to know who the satire writers are..

Scary, isn’t it, when satire can easily be mistaken for actual news!
