You see what Chris Matthews is doing in that interview. Matthews NEVER lets a guest talk as much as he lets Bachmann talks. It’s because Matthews thinks the more she talks, the more ‘extreme’ she’ll seem.

But in fact, the more she talks, the more Americans think to themselves ‘Ya exactly! Go get em’.

I love it when people give Matthews some of his own technique .... bash back!

I agree with that totally.  My first impression was that I'd never seen Matthews so quiet.  Matthews' attempt at conflating liberals with anti-Americans was a bit foolish.  She wasn't doing that.  She just said that three obviously anti-American people were associated with the most liberal senator in the country.

The term liberal has typically frightened Americans, which is a bit weird since all western democracies are considered liberal. However, we have a congress led by two scary liberals with an approval rating of around 9% and the country is on the verge of strengthening that position.

Go figure!
