must see later bump

The way it is being spun at home, this could cost her.

[scory]

The propagandist Matthews tried mightily to get her to say something that could be used as a sound bite against both her and McCain and she didn’t bite.

[My Favorite Headache]

Correct. Matthews tried over and over to sandbag her.

FAIL

[EDINVA]

It just pains me to watch Matthews. Is there anyone, other than his good pal Obermann, more in the tank for Obama? People speculate their rivalry is over getting the Russert gig on MTP, but I think it’s trying to outdo each other on their adulation of Obama and trashing to the GOP.

Bump for later viewing.

bump to watch later

[TheFourthMagi]

Exactly. He was trying to do that from a number of angles and she didn’t fall for any of them.

[Crystal Cove]

We can’t watch videos here at work, but did she go back on Hardball?

You see what Chris Matthews is doing in that interview. Matthews NEVER lets a guest talk as much as he lets Bachmann talks. It’s because Matthews thinks the more she talks, the more ‘extreme’ she’ll seem.

But in fact, the more she talks, the more Americans think to themselves ‘Ya exactly! Go get em’.

Good job, she did well, didn't take Matthew's bait, stayed focused and on message. Cheers!

[griffin]

If, hypothetically, Matthews was hanging around bin laden and associating with him he should be investigated by the FBI. I would expect the same to be true of omabination hanging around Ayers.

Mrs. Bachmann is entirely correct.

GIVE TIL IT HURTS!!

They are coming after her for this, they have raised 2 million since this interview.

Don’t let the anti-americans take her down, she works very hard on the House floor, is a good conservative, has 4 children, married 30 years, has own business, has fostered 23 children.

Please give!!

[imintrouble]

I love it when people give Matthews some of his own technique .... bash back!

[allmendream]

VAH ping.

My only suggestion is that we stop calling these people “liberals”. Ayers and Wright are not liberals, they are leftists. I would say that's a big difference between liberals and leftists. Leftists are clearly anti-American, most liberals aren't (there are a number of other differences). Many Democrat voters are liberals, but nearly all the party apparatchiks are leftists. Pointing out the differences is the first step towards seperating the liberals from the Democratic Party.

[TheFourthMagi]

I would suggest “leftwingers”.

"You see what Chris Matthews is doing in that interview. Matthews NEVER lets a guest talk as much as he lets Bachmann talks. It’s because Matthews thinks the more she talks, the more ‘extreme’ she’ll seem."

I agree with that totally.  My first impression was that I'd never seen Matthews so quiet.  Matthews' attempt at conflating liberals with anti-Americans was a bit foolish.  She wasn't doing that.  She just said that three obviously anti-American people were associated with the most liberal senator in the country.

The term liberal has typically frightened Americans, which is a bit weird since all western democracies are considered liberal. However, we have a congress led by two scary liberals with an approval rating of around 9% and the country is on the verge of strengthening that position.

Go figure!
