August 23, 2004 -- REPUBLICAN insiders are giving cable-TV political host Chris Matthews the cold shoulder — believing that he has gone over to the Kerry camp — according to a published report.
U.S. News and World Report says Matthews protested too sharply about the Bush campaign's editing of an MSNBC "Hardball" interview with Kerry posted on the party's negative site, www.kerryoniraq.com.
As a result, GOP officials are quietly advising Republicans not to go on his show.
" 'Hardball' may seem more like badminton during the Republican National Convention," the magazine quoted one GOP insider as saying.
"Hardball" executive producer Tammy Haddad didn't know her show was being blackballed, she said.
"We beat everybody up," she told the magazine.

There can be NO HATE crimes unless one or all of the above are FACTS.
Reagan had it worse. He had no FR, no Rush, no FOX news, etc. It is one of the examples of his greatness that he overcame it.
If so, then cutting her off every time she tried to *make* her argument by answering his questions was a mighty strange way to do it.
He may have been a little terse,
Buy a dictionary. All definitions of "terse" include the word "concise", and Matthews was anything *but* concise in the way he motormouthed while talking over Malkin.
but I suspect he would do the same thing to a left wing shill.
You suspect very incorrectly.
That is all Malkin had to do, ala Reagan, is to say:
"There you go again, Chrissy!"
Here a word count analysis of the Michelle muggings by Chris where he said she talked 80% of the time and that saying he wouldn't let her answer is an old conservative ploy. Well the totals are in Chrissy - 820 words, Michelle - 500 and Willie ( who is still trying to determine why he was on the show) 300. These are rough numbers but Chrissy spoke for 51% of the time compared to 49% for the combine Michell and Willie team. Stick it Chrissy.
Steaming load of BS. It's in O'Neill's book: Kerry wounded himself when he fired an M79 grenade into rice bags, and caught ricochets of rice and shrapnel in the butt.
DID YOU READ THE BOOK? Chrissy Matthews didn't.
She didn't PHRASE or EXPLAIN it very well; "self-inflicted" sounds like an intentional foot-shot. But the rabid Matthews didn't allow her to explain.
Matthews is lib-dem garbage.
You are... Nah, I don't want to get banned. I'll let the AMs handle it, chump.
Horse shit!!!!!!!!!!! I dont think you are stupid enough to believe what you just posted. And then again hhhhmmmmmm.
Sorry, AdminMods: pls hold off for a while and let us have some fun.
I'm working on changing that hair-trigger on my Kimber "Eclipse Target II" 1911A1 .45cal ACP
Absolutely. Unitl Matthews offers an apology to Goddess Michelle, the GOP should simply avoid ALL futher contact or appearances on his stupid show. The guy's a royal ass.
Yes, you're right. See post #51...

I am a much calmer person now:
How nuanced. You must be a liberal.
ROTFLMAO-LOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bloody Mary all over the monitor! ((( grabbing some Brawny® Paper Towels )))
My ribs are hurting.
Couldn't help it. Had to check out Chrissy for just a minute. Caught him discussing the interview with, of all people, Pat Buchanan. Chris couldn't admit that he badgered her into what he wanted her to say. Then got livid over and sent MM packing. Pat suggested he watch the tape. He admitted he had watched it a dozen times and didn't feel he was out of ling. BUT HE WAS ACTING AWFUL CONTRITE. Might have visited the woodshed over the weekend.
As long as Jim Vance has a job, Kathleen won't be the worst!
Actually, Chrissie "Motormouth" Matthews was trying to put words in Michelle's mouth.
He said: "Are you saying that John Kerry shot himself on purpose? Answer me, yes or no!"
No, Chrissie, Michelle Malkin was not saying that. What she WAS saying, if you'd been listening, was that at least one of his wounds was a piece of shrapnel from his own carelessly-thrown grenade, which is the testimony of several eye witnesses.
'Course, remember that Chrissie used to be on the staff of the slimy democRAT congressman Thomas P. "TIP" O'Neil, so anyone who could function in an atmosphere as partisan as that had to be just like him and accepted, au priori, as a raunchy, dyed-in-the-wool democRAT first, objective reporter thirtieth.
