An offended Chris Matthews, on Thursday night's "Hardball," was so shocked by Sarah Palin's claim that there wasn't anybody to pray with on the McCain campaign, that he hurled multiple insults Palin's way, calling her, "a little scary," and asked if Palin thought McCain was, "the Anti-Christ?" Matthews was appalled by Palin's recent revelation that she had trouble finding someone to pray with before her vice presidential debate and the MSNBC host worried such talk about "The Deity in a political environment," wasn't "normal."

This is exactly what I mean. Way too much is being made of this. These people are such drama queens they are acting like this is the only thing she has said or done in the last couple of months. It's unreal.
I agree. While I am an atheist, I don't find anything weird about Palin's comment.
Would Matthews have said this if a Muslim prayed before a debate and said it was too bad he didn't have someone to pray with?
what a moron
they make too much of it on purpose. They want to make her into a cartoon character in the minds of the public. They are in nonstop campaign mode
Chris you are an A-HOLE.
Not only is it not going to let up, it's going to get worse.
I guess Chrissy has never read the founding fathers if he thinks its not “normal” for people to do this and talk about prayer. Maybe he doesn’t know that the congress opens each day with one? Military exercises too? Hmmm. Maybe Chrissy tingled himself. I hope hannity or beck pick this one up.....
Now Obama I am not so sure of.
The plan is to destroy Palin.
I think the Republican "good-old-boy-network" in Washington doesn't want to see Palin come back - she scares them as badly as she scares the liberals and they are all out to destroy her. I'm glad to hear she's not taking their advice, she has good instincts - she can handle herself just fine.
I agree. If there is an anti-Christ, Matthews is part of it.
Obama on the other hand...
Before Chris hated Sarah Palin, he hated the Savior.
You’ve got that right. Meanwhile, they are acting like idiots bringing up her “windshield wiper” hand wave, yet meanwhile a guy who consorted with known terrorists and others of very questionable reputation was ELECTED. Just reminds me of how twisted things are.... Maybe she wanted to pray like some of my friends pray and it lasts more than a few minutes too... a lot of people are verry uncomfortable with this. I invited a friend to a Women’s Conference once (a Christian one) and she wouldn’t even drive with me... she ended up ditching me... couldn’t handle a few thousand women with their hands up in worship. What can I say?
Matthews is a fool.
Sometimes the shortest sentences are the most powerful. Great comment Annie.
Eventually, yes. It is my opinion that leftists can't see anything higher than government. Group think, group ideology but dictator ruled. A "Higher Power" such as God and praying to something bigger and larger than government for help? Preposterous!!! We can NEVER be individuals and led or influenced by something that can't be regulated.
I think that is why Communists hate religion so much.
I used to think remarks like that were perhaps a bit over the top. I was dead wrong. They are. Rightly so.
My opinion is that Palin needs to run as an Independent. Completely free of the stench of the two-party cartel. You’re right, Republicans are trying to destroy her just like the Dems, and I can easily see a scenario where they change the primary rules or encourage cross-over voting.
