MATTHEWS AND OLBERMANN NOW OPENLY FIGHTING OVER OBAMA
February 3, 2010
In a "Special Report" on the president's question-and-answer session with Republicans last Friday, MSNBC's jock-sniffers Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow produced a museum-quality show:
MATTHEWS: Everybody agrees he could handle everything today. ...
OLBERMANN: It almost felt like watching the stories of John L. Sullivan, the 19th-century boxer, who would volunteer to fight anybody and everybody in the house and knock them all out. ...
MADDOW (imagining Obama thinking): You've brought a pet issue here, congressman, who is the ranking member of the Budget Committee, let me tell you 400,000 things about it, and invite you to continue the discussion with me later. ...
MATTHEWS: (T)oday showed me that we do produce probably the best candidate and best president we can in this system you can imagine in the world. ...
OLBERMANN: They had 140 players on the field and the other team had one guy and they lost to him. ...
MATTHEWS: You were so unbelievably hot, Mr. President! You blew away the other team!
OBAMA: Beat it.
MATTHEWS: OK, I'll go stand in my locker now.
Unlike the jock-sniffers, normal people watching the president's tete-a-tete with the Republicans only wondered why Obama always responds to imaginary arguments no one made, rather than the questions actually being asked.
That is Obama's signature move: Invent "people" who are "saying" ridiculous things and then encourage the audience to laugh at these made-up buffoons.
Since Obama's reformulations of Republican arguments are always absurd, no further response from him is necessary -- and none is ever forthcoming.
Thus, for example, Obama's description of Republican criticism of his plan to nationalize health care was that "this thing was some Bolshevik plot."
No. No one said it was a "plot," Bolshevik or otherwise.
Republicans' objection to national health care could be more accurately portrayed as follows: Obama's plan to nationalize health care was a terrible idea because it would turn over one-sixth of the American economy to Washington bureaucrats, who would run the system as competently as the federal government runs everything else, from airport security to the post office to FEMA.
How about responding to that argument? (And as long as Obama brought it up, can he explain which part of national health care the Bolsheviks would have objected to most strongly?)
This isn't how adults conduct serious political debates; it's how children argue with their parents. Don't have a cow! Liberals hide conservative arguments from the public like teenagers hide contraband from mother under the bed.
Repeatedly positing imaginary attacks by Republicans accusing him of a "plot," Obama said that "the way these issues are being presented by the Republicans is that this is some wild-eyed plot to impose huge government in every aspect of our lives."
Again, not a "plot" and certainly not "wild-eyed." The only person accusing anyone of "plotting" here is Obama accusing the GOP of plotting against him. I guess they don't teach irony at Harvard Law School.

LOL that cracked me up!In the case Obama mentioned, the court overruled section 441a of the campaign-finance law, which had banned all corporate spending on elections. The case did not concern, nor did the court address, section 441e, which prohibits foreign corporations from making any "contribution or donation of money or other thing of value ... in connection with a Federal, State or local election."
History will record that these remarks from his State of the Union address were the only case legendary barrister Barack Obama ever argued before the Supreme Court. And he lost.

Lol! That loser network PMS-NBC will do ANYTHING for ratings!
It is nice to see toxic parasites feeding on each other. Especially radical DemoRat parasites.
“jock-sniffers”
ROFLMAO
I LOVE Ann!
Thanks for obeying the rules.
My fave foto of her.
Is Microsoft footing any part of the bill for this fiasco?
I have no idea. But I suspect it’s just a ploy to get people to watch their failing station.
“jock-sniffers”

I saw the same thing and thought, “Coulter is truly brilliant. Why must she be so crude?
the “straw man” rhetoric is a constant tool of the Demagogues
they rarely if ever try to conduct an honest discussion while looking clearly at the facts and reasoning cited by their opponents
no, the most frequent device (and we see this throughout the Mediascum as well as with Obama and his cabal) is to create a fictional or at least caricature position for an opponent, and then to simply ridicule it rather than to examine the issues honestly
Actually, not my favorite Coulter column (last weeks was brilliant). BUT, has anyone else noticed the sidebar at her site? Very funny stuff there.
These three Amigos have proven that they are literally jock sniffers.
Yes, it is a little crude, but fire must be fought with fire sometimes.
forget “Monica kneepads” -— someone should market gag “MSNBC kneepads” for everyone on the network to wear, along with their rare “viewers” -— they need to be ready whenever they should meet up with Obama or any of their favorite Demagogues
It’s a direct slam back at the “tea-bagging” references made by the dinomedia.
Okay ... but you do know that Rachel doesn't have the equipment or interest for that game ...
Buy that Broad a Steak. Ann Rox!
Pray for America’s Freedom
That's a "DOUBLT TINGLE" dontchaknow.
I rest my case
LOL
