looking for people that may have seen the first fifteen minutes of the show. Chris Matthews was badgering Delay in regards to the Turner statement I think, and what does Bush plan to do with regard to setting up a Palestine State !

A very Hot exchange!

[TJFLSTRAT]

I saw it, Mathews has a penchant for being a self serving gasbag of the first magnatude. He is no more than an apologist for the murdering Palestinians and Islamics.

Now discussing nickleodean supporting the Gays.

The gal from traditional values is pretty sharp!

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Did I hear him say what I thought I heard.

Why should the palestines live as citizens under a Terrorist Israel State?

[PhiKapMom]

That is the best description of Matthews that I have ever heard! Thanks for posting it!

[Sungirl]

What the hell is wrong with some people? Can't they see that those people are dangerous terrorists???

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

I usually don't watch him , but was lazy and didn't turn it off tonight after Kudlow and Cramer.

I could not believe how he was going after Tom Delay!

While surfing the news channels, came across Delay on Hardball (a show I normally boycott). Chicken Chris kept badgering him on recognizing a Palestinian state. Delay strongly responded that the issues could be discussed once the terror ended and wasn't about to give concessions while the Palies were exploding. Matthews finally gave up hectoring, went on to a new guest and said Delay didn't know anything about the Middle East but was just responding to domestic pressures, i.e. the "Christian Right." That was enough of "Lowball" for me.

Now we have C Hutchins and Alan Simpson discussing going after Saddam Hussein.

Any comments on post #4?

[Travis McGee]

If muslim terrorists invaded Chris Matthews' childrens' private academy and slit their throats, he would apologize to the terrorists for causing the pain and despair which left them no other alternative.

[PhiKapMom]

I am going to watch on replay. I haven't watched the weasel for a long time but this one I want to see! I cannot believe anyone in the press that defends the Palestinians and their suicide bombers. I am watching so I can fire off a nasty email for what good that does but it makes me feel better!

Thanks for posting this!

I have said this on many Matthews threads....wanna get his goat?.....we start a daily thread with word by word analysis of ole Chrissy squat to pee Matthews...we are read...it will catch and our reps will be sound bite ready......Matthews is a girly man to the 1000th degree......all yellers are ......I would give 10 yrs pay for 30 minutes as a guest ...I'd be famous and right....

[MonroeDNA]

Do it, cactus. I'm in.

[Miss Marple]

I'm in. Do they have transcripts or would we have to do a live thread every night?

If it is a live thread, we will need our fastest typists.

Howlin, are you willing to help?

[demkicker]

I sometimes think Matthews has an identity crisis. Just when one least expects it, he'll champion conservative, moderate and liberal principles...all within a matter of minutes.

The truth is Matthews enjoys being "all over the map" on issues. He thinks he's keeping the viewer guessing and on their toes, when all he's doing is managing to alienate everyone with his bizarre behavior. His liberalism has become off the wall. I used to find him amusing, but he's so predictably irritating that I never watch anymore.

[PhiKapMom]

I believe you are right! I cannot stand these liberal apologists for the Palestinians -- I just finished reading the editorial about Blair's wife that Pokey just posted. Isn't there an Island somewhere we can ship all these people so that can talk to each other and leave the rest of us in peace? Maybe they would like to have Arafat and Hamas join them!

[Faraday]

I looked for a transcript on MSNBC.com and couldn't find one. Equating Israeli defense with aggressive Palestinian terror was clearly his position.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

It is the first 15 minutes!

I thought I heard him use the phrase in post #4, but I could be wrong.

Got me all riled up!

Got a thread over here where Tony Blairs wife is signing on to the Turner viewpoint!

Prime minister's wife says Palestinian suicide bombers a product of despair
