Maverick68 said “Hagee endorsed McCain. Obama endorsed Wright. Big difference there....”
You have hit the nail on the head! Thank you.

Solomon went on to opine that a pastor's words shouldn't hurt a candidate because "we believe in separation of church and state in this country."

"Please note that this does NOT apply to McCain/Hagee, because Hagee is not McCain's pastor, making it a case of a Right Wing hate monger endorsing a senile Right Wing nut, and the nut accepting the endorsement, without benefit of a pulpit between them," she added.

Just to clear up a few misconceptions in this thread:

1) If you watched the video, you would see that she was specifically talking about McCain/Hagee when she said, “I don’t believe that a pastor’s words should hurt a candidate....we believe in separation of church and state in this country.”

2) I’m not quite sure that she was as offended that Matthews hadn’t read her piece as some people around here think she was. She seemed a bit surprised (and, frankly, that makes sense: if Matthews is going to bring Solomon on to talk about her article, he should have at least had someone else read the article and brief him on it, not because it’s the NY Times, but because he was bringing her on his show to talk about the subject matter of her article)

3) Solomon is not exactly a NY Times reporter. She has a recurring column in the NY Times Magazine, which is something of a separate publication, an which has a separate editorial board from the NY Times itself

I didn’t see the reaction the thread implied in the title when I saw the video.

That's okay, you're not the only one who didn't see it. Compare the number of views to the few posts saying they saw it.

It could be just that she was surprised that Chrissy was doing an interview without doing the research...and showing surprise that Chrissy isn't as bright a bulb as she assumed.

A NYTs reporter can..They have actually no compuntions against lying and calling people racists and anti-semites if anyone dares disagree with them and their DegenoLib socialist death cultism.

Whoops, my bad. Other posters have now established that the comedian in question is Joe E. Brown, not Lewis. I haven’t found proof about fist in mouth but am sure I remember as a child seeing him do it.

.....I don’t read the NYT or listen to Chris Matthews......

You are far from alone.

More people hear Chrissy clips warmed over on Rush than when originally aired on DNC TV.
