Republican National Committee ^ | October 31, 2005

[RWR8189]

MSNBC's Chris Matthews: "[I]'m Sitting Here Holding In My Hands, A Pretty Disgusting Document, This Is Put Out Not For Attribution. But It Comes From The Democrats, They're Circulating It. I Can Say That." (MSNBC's "MSNBC Live," 10/31/05)

• Matthews: "[T]hen Their Complaint Sheet Against Judge Alito's Nomination. The First Thing They Nail About This Italian American Is He Failed To Win A Mob Conviction In A Trial 20 Years Ago, Or Something Way Back In '88." (MSNBC's "MSNBC Live," 10/31/05) 
   
• Matthews: "In Other Words, They Nail Him On Not Putting Some Italian Mobsters In Jail From The [Lucchese] Family. Why Would They Bring Up This Ethnically Charged Issue As The First Item They Raise Against Judge Alito?" (MSNBC's "MSNBC Live," 10/31/05) 
   
• Matthews: "This Is Either A Very Bad Coincidence Or Very Bad Politics. Either Way Its Gonna Hurt Them. This Document: Not Abortion Rights, Not Civil Rights But That He Failed To Nail Some Mobsters In 1988. This Is The Top Of Their List Of What They've Got Against This Guy. Amazingly Bad Politics." (MSNBC's "MSNBC Live," 10/31/05)  

Matthews: "[The Democrats Are] Trying Not To Put A Signature On It, But I Just Did." (MSNBC's "MSNBC Live," 10/31/05)

Oh, that's the only democrat tactic he's upset about? Has he ever heard of sloppy seconds?

[BlueStateDepression]

Seems Chris had a moment of insight. Either that or.....it was BIZZARRO Chris!

[Southack]

Mathews is right that this is bad politics for the Dems. Their hit-piece document against Alito is going to strike many as being anti-Italian...in other words...racist.

[Brilliant]

It's kinda hard to figure Matthews. He's a rabid Dem, who routinely hits the GOP below the belt. Why does he have a problem with it this time?

[Zacs Mom]

The cRats are so completely and utterly covered in skid-marks who would even notice another?

[Palladin]

They're pissing off the wrong people.

I wonder how Sissy Matthews would like to get knee-capped in a dark alley in South Philly?

[IamConservative]

BTW - What was Alito doing in 1988? As Prosecutor, Defense Attorney or Judge, there is a little thing we call a "jury of our peers" that gets to weigh in on putting people away.

[oceanview]

totally expected.

mark my words - they will find some construction company that poured concrete at his house and say "they were connected" and smear him with that too.

[NeoCaveman]

Wow.

[smith288]

Italian is a race?

[BlueStateDepression]

"Why does he have a problem with it this time?"

Maybe Zell Miller challenged him to another duel!

[nicmarlo]

my children are half-Italian.

I'm thinking I'm going to be sending this article to their aunt......they're all Rats; maybe they would like to know what the Rats think of their being Democrat Italians.

[July 4th]

Is this the Mad Dean's idea to piss off all Italian-americans?

Yeah, that's a brilliant strategy. (warming up baseball bat...)

[calrighty]

rotf..................

[mosquitobite]

What the HECK?? Is this satire?

[The South Texan]

Chrissy just trying to get some Browny points with us so he can go back to concentrating on putting Dick Chenney in jail with Scooter.

[EQAndyBuzz]

The republicans should use this in NYC for 2006. Can't you see it now, Hillary marching up front in the 2006 Columbus Day parade.

[oceanview]

why do this? the Dems have legitimate issues to go after Alito on (not that we would agree with them, but they are legitimate issues for debate nonetheless).

what they want to do here is play into the sheeple's stereotype from being pumped with the Sopranos and the Godfather for years. Remember the taped phone call between Clinton and Flowers regarding Mario Cuomo.

[Phantom Lord]

The RATS are making wild connections. On DU they say he supports lesbian pedophilia rape because he didn't dissent on a case involving a 10 year old girl getting strip searched by a female officer on a drug bust.
