Wilson Waxes Wexler/Matthews Double-Team [Must See Video]
NewsBusters ^ | July 24, 2008 | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 07/25/2008 1:01:11 AM PDT by Tom_Busch

The screencap captures it nicely: Heather Wilson, smiling. Robert Wexler, mouth agape. On this afternoon's Hardball, the feisty, brilliant [bio: high honors Air Force Academy grad, Rhodes Scholar] GOP representative from New Mexico took on the duo of the combative congressman from Florida and host Chris Matthews, and walked away a winner. The subject was Obama's Berlin speech, and by extension his presidential qualifications.

You'll find excerpts below, but they don't do begin to do justice to Wilson's brio and the coolness under verbal fire she displayed. That's why I'd strongly encourage readers to view the video. Wilson kicked off her tour de force in commenting on a clip of Obama in his Berlin speech proclaiming that various walls, including one between American and Europe, "cannot stand" and must be torn down.

I really enjoyed this. Matthews looks dumbfounded and a little sick at the end. They are discussing Obama's Berlin speech. Click the article link to watch the video. There's a link to it in the second paragraph.

Of course, Wexler was bust on BOR for not living in his district. Uses his mother-in-laws address while living in Maryland.

Can’t trust anything he says.

Live with the unwashed masses in Florida? No way, when he can raise his kids in blue blood neighborhoods.

(I am forida resident for last 5 years, but he is not my congressman - I’d vote him out)

Wexler is in need of a severe ass thrashing and some prison time for fraud and tax evasion....

He is the zenith example of a dumb shit Leftist, who couldn’t find his ass with a flashlight and road map....

A typical Democrat “LAWMAKER”, shown to be a paid whore LAW BREAKER.

Thank you for posting this...

And thank you, Representative Heather Wilson for the amazing and truly gratifying to watch SLAPDOWN of these leftist, treasonous ignoramuses.

You can just see the look in her eye. She knows she's dealing with idiot children and she crushes their treasonous spewage of an argument with a smile and a gentle, almost nurturing voice.

You go, girl...

Lord, we have tried, the East Boca libs and Century-Village voters won't stop voting for the treasonous toad.

WILSON:... Barack Obama will make sure we take -- he'll negotiate with the Russians to take our ICBMs off hair-trigger alert. It's a great idea: it was done 20 years ago. He seems to be unaware of American history.

AAAAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA!

Matthews sure looks pissed when she doesn't bite and he then claimis she said there's a European "love affair" with Bush.

That's such a liberal concern. The European people sure don't seem to LIKE Bush, but that doesn't seem to matter much on SUBSTANCE. Chris is such a freakin baby, he looks so ANNOYED at Wilson's concentration not on People Mag-like popularity silliness but on the actual connection between Europe and the US, which has always had its ups and downs but hasn't been imperiled by the Bush presidency.

Ignore the thread police. If it weren’t for duplicate threads, FR would have barely any content

Ms Wilson employed a liberal tactic of filibustering and simply persevering to make her point. She would not allow the Democrats (Matthews and Wexler) to pursue their agenda of loaded questions and statements.

She did a masterful job of turning the tables on them.

Thank you for posting this Tom. If you hadn’t reposted, I would have missed it. It never hurts for an article to be posted again. We are all busy and can’t hang on Free Republic all day -as much as we’d like to! :-)

BTW - that was a GREAT video!

Enchante, thanks for the link to the other thread. Gives folks a chance to read earlier comments. I, for one, don’t mind duplicate threads.

That is funny that you think I am rude, because your rude comment about duplicate threads was what made me reply to you. Welcome to FR

I also think you are rude to use the term numbnuts.

Show some class if you can.

re: numbnuts

You are obnoxious, but I mostly tune out people who have nothing to offer. If you have anything worthwhile to say on the subject of the article I haven’t seen it. The only thing that bothers me is that you should not be thinking about my nuts. As Obama wants to say to Jesse Jackson, “Leave my nuts alone!” :^)

For the record, I’m not one to care much about duplicate threads, but I do think it is better if people know about the earlier thread so that all FReeper comments on an article are easily available to everyone. I wish there were some easier way to link up old and new threads on the same article - that’s why I posted the link.
