Chris Matthews Yells at Tea Party Leader: Why Is 'Balloon-Head' Bachmann Speaking for You?
Nation.Foxnews.Com ^ | Jan 25, 20111 | hypoCHRISSY Matthews

Posted on 01/26/2011 7:57:38 AM PST by Lazamataz

Chris Matthews was nearly apoplectic in his questioning of Tea Party Express co-founder Sal Russo on the topic of Congresswoman Michele Bachmann and her controversial re-imagining of history where the founding fathers found a way to end slavery in their lifetime. Repeatedly calling Bachmann a "balloon head," Matthews demanded to know why Russo and the Tea Party wanted Bachmann to give a response to the State of the Union address or, more generally, why they ever wanted her to open her mouth in the first place?

The commie/fascist/socialistmarxist Dummies are in a state of hysteria.

Their normal instint is to riot.
But WHO would they riaot against?

So they unleash all of that hatred and anger on tv/radio/ and in opinion columns.
Anyone that gives them a a real time target is stupid.
And then to just sit there dub struck is unacceptable.

If you recall Zell was taking Matthews to task for treating his guest Michelle Malkin as disrespectful as he talks about Bachmann. He cut her off, insulted and yelled at her.

Imagine anyone on FNC treating a liberal female like that.

Here's the Malkin-Matthews video that inspired Zell to challenge him to a duel:

Or worse yet, a conservative

Which is exactly what happened when Jeraldo attacked Michelle Malkin a few years ago:

Rivera, who as a fledgling lawyer in the ’70s counseled the Puerto Rican nationalist group the Young Lords, says he can’t stomach the politicians and pundits who are stoking “anti-immigrant hysteria,” and his antipathy extends to some of his colleagues at Fox.

“Michelle Malkin is the most vile, hateful commentator I’ve ever met in my life,” he says. “She actually believes that neighbors should start snitching out neighbors, and we should be deporting people.

“It’s good she’s in D.C. and I’m in New York,” Rivera sneers. “I’d spit on her if I saw her.”

Then later O'Reilly had Geraldo on to "apoligize" to Malkin publically.

He didn't apologize, but O'Reilly and Rivera smiled at each other (congratulatorily) over their magnanimous deed and became like "whitewashed graves that look beautiful on the outside but inside are full of dead people's bones and every kind of impurity."

I gave up BoR for good then. I remember Malkin was guest hosting Fridays all that summer, 2007 I think. She was 100X better to watch than him. Then this happened and she never went back after it. He gets Laura Ingraham to guest host instead but she is a little more establishment conservative than Michelle. Malkin is more someone who gives her own opinions regardless of others. Malkin was great to watch get fired up over immigration related stories hosting the Factor. BoR isnt pretty when he fakes anger.

BoR is no conservative.

waiting for the pic of Matthews in a straight jacket... I suspect, in short order, it won’t be necessary to use Photoshop...

I agree completely.

Yes, I only watch the factor on Friday nites because O’Reilly wasn’t there. Or when someone is on it I want to watch.

Ingraham socks it to O’Reilly once in a while when he has her on a commentator.

BO also of course called FR a hate site some time ago also.

He is an ass, always pandering to the left.

Boy more and more the men on the left sure seem to be losing it over having strong women on the right speak.Sure are showing their misogyny...I guess in their world a good women sleeps with them whenever they want and then kills the children they might be responsible for and they like it that way? Wouldn’t want a woman with a brain messing their little deal up now would we?

Play the game. Go on the show and sit there silently when asked a question. When Hissy Fit asks if you're going to answer the question simply say..."No, all you'll do, as you've always done, is talk over me and not give me an opportunity to speak."
Then sit there and wait for the Scanners moment.

Prissy just can’t get over the way Bachmann slammed him on election night. He kept screaming “Are you hypnotised?” at the tea party guy, just like he did at Bachmann when she stomped him. Obviously, he’s still feeling the ass-kicking she gave him and is still smearing her for it. What a baby.

What are you talking about? Bachmann and the tea party spokesman both made a fool out of Pissy. He could only fall back on his default position of yelling, interrupting and name-calling.

“One of my favorite pet peeves is how conservatives and elected Republicans go on these MSNBC ‘trap’ shows totally unprepared for the onslaught attack by the hosts and guests. “

They look like Charlie Brown trying to kick the football. How stupid can they be?
