"...the reason she's a U.S. senator, the reason she's a candidate for president, the reason she may be a front-runner is her husband messed around." -MSNBC Hardball Host, Chris Matthews
Chris Matthews is in trouble. His typically clumsy and ill-informed news analysis cut left for once. The socialist progressives are now accusing him of being part of the dreaded vast right wing conspiracy, a terrible insult in their world, and the far left is calling him all sorts of nasty names. The retribution they demand ranges from an apology, which he has already given, to firing, to drawing and quartering. Leftist feminist has-been Gloria Steinem even wrote a letter. Nasty stuff from the left-o-sphere usually reserved for the opium dens of the Bush derangement crowd fill the comments sections of the Daily Kos, the HuffPo and FireDogLake. Like a gang of schoolyard bullies, the left turns on one of its own.
The phone calls to and from the Democrat leadership must have started within minutes of Matthews uttering his blasphemy. The management of MSNBC fell all over itself begging forgiveness. Matthews, threatened with an Imus moment, probably wrote his muddled meandering apology within hours of his faux pas.
Matthews is too much a man of the left to stand his ground, and his accurate description of one facet of Hillary's populism was merely a careless and peevish misstep from a fellow traveler. It was not exactly "speaking truth to power" and it certainly was not insightful analysis.
Anyone who has been following the Hillary Clinton Campaign could easily list the newsworthy manipulations which are that campaign's standard practice: planted questions, rigged audiences, fake protests to engender sympathy for the candidate, surrogate attacks on competitors, behind-the-scenes intimidation of the press, fund raising fraud, and of course, the normal sleight of hand...

LOL, love it, they are all falling apart.
Yeah I love these liberal squabbles.
Girlfight!
Hillary is a contrived political animal?
That’s putting it nicely.
She, like Obama, is a media creation. All appearance. No substance.
“Matthews is too much a man of the left”
There’s a loaded statement .....
Matthews screwed up and let The Truth out for once. Now he will be made to pay!
