After airing an interview clip of Sarah Palin telling Fox News' Greta Van Susteren that she was looking for guidance from God about running for national office again, an appalled Chris Matthews called it "troubling," when he let loose this rant on Tuesday's "Hardball":
Is, is this commentary about theocracy and going to God for approval? We've been through that with President Bush who said he, "didn't take advice from his father, he got it from another father." And we've been through this sort of Joan of Arc period. Are we gonna get another piece of this where God's leading candidates to run for president? I mean that sort of keeps us out of the conversation doesn't it? I mean, seriously, I mean God is telling her to run? And she's saying it openly on a secular television show? This isn't the religious hour....Talking about God, in a political setting is troubling to a lot of people. If you're talking about a big tent, this looks more like the church tent, not the big tent.
Then a little later in the program, Matthews returned to Palin's expressions of faith and noted that kind of talk can be,"dangerous." And when his guest, former Dick Cheney aide Ron Christie, said he was tired of the media picking on Palin when, in fact, Joe Biden made a lot of blunders, Matthews let this howler fly: "Joe Biden took more hits from the media than anybody for the last 30 years!"

What’s troubling are the words I heard tonight on CNBC from the CEO of Liz Caliborne who said US unemployment will leap to between 10% - 12% in the not too far distant future. He was very doom and gloom about Christmas sales, it was one of the most depressing interviews I’ve ever heard. Within a matter of a few months Obama is going to be one of the most unpopular presidents in US history, there’s no money to pay for all the promises he made, and the economy is going down faster than an express elevator. He is going to be despised by many of those who voted for him and by most of us who didn’t.
“matthews: palin talking about God is troubling.”
sure is. much better that first ladies channel with mrs. roosevelt’s spirit and that presidents use josef stalin as an example of how to “fix” the economy.
I shall always remember Kurt Warner when the Rams won the Superbowl. Before even hoisting the trophy, he shouted “Thank You, Jesus!”
Not only does Warner have class, he is also a damn good quarterback.
He’s not really Catholic he’s in line with the Jesuits.
What do you have against North Korean children?
I didn’t realize Matthews was Catholic — unbelievable! MSNBC is no longer programmed into channels I watch.
Some of those damn founding fathers talked about his God stuff, too. It’s so irritating, isn’t it, Chrissie?
Talking about God is okay when Louis Farrakhan does it. Matthews is a typical whimpy liberal asshole.
Matthews needs to be shunned by anyone with a sense of decency.
Troubling? Well Chrissy your Oneship prayed “Lord...make me an instrument of your will”. Ignoring or forgetting?
AMEN to that...
Keeps us out of the conversation? Is he referring to all those people God created? Gee... Chris... Not really believing in the Creator anymore are you?
“The time is now near at hand which must probably determine whether Americans are to be freemen or slaves. ... The fate of unborn millions will now depend, under God, on the courage and conduct of the army.”
-George Washington
It’ll suck to be Chrissy on Judgement Day.

Looks great potlatch!

Thanks devolve! Lots of work, can’t tell by looking. Tried to find threads that weren’t graphic heavy to post it.
