Shelby on Chris Matthews Show (what a joke)

MSNBC ^ | 4/8/2004 | J. Swaim

[plain talk]

On the 4/8 Chris Matthews show, Matthews asked Richard Shelby, my Senator from Alabama "Don't you wish Condi Rice would have spoken in public about Al Quaida before 9/11" (paraphrase). Shelby paused and mumbled some useless response but failed to point out that Dr. Rice HAD mentioned Usama in Oct, 2000. I just blasted Senator Shelby for being so uninformed and urge others to contact his office.

Shelby is such a dim wit, he was the perfect shill for the hitman Matthews to use in trying to define the lines his dnc bloved want codified. Chrissy is a lying dem hitman and Shelby is too dim witted to realize it or comprehend the positions Chrissy places him in for the political leverage. But he was once a dem, so what can one expect of shelby?

Republican senators are completely ball-less.

[PokeyJoe]

who is Chris Matthews?

[zook]

I was out in the yard and accidentally stepped in some Chris Matthews.

[rvoitier]

he's the shrill on MSDNC

I had to turn it off this evening. I couldn't hack it any longer.

Shelby and Matthews are both jokes. Though I'd trade you Shelby for Hillary or Schumer any day.....

When has any Republican Sentator helped out about anything of importance in the last 3 years? McCain may as well be a democrat and the rest are a bunch of "out for themselves jerks" and only give lip service to the administration". Say what you want about the democrats, but at least the look out for their own. Most republican columnists and elected officials only seem want to apologize for their partys beliefs.

"Shelby is such a dim wit, he was the perfect shill for the hitman Matthews to use in trying to define the lines his dnc beloved want codified."

Your right, its not just spin but codification and more serious. Seems like we are in a political war at home as well as a cultural war and Terrorism.

Keith Olberman is doing this on a low end and cultural .

[MHGinTN]

But I do wonder just how many actually understand the extent to which most of the big media are soundly behind this dnc codification of lies and false assertions? I've followed the abject poverty of soul in the media for years, regarding the truth of abortion slaughter. Now, at these last days, the collusion is much more blatant, but do 'the people' see it for the corrosive subterfuge it is? I seriously doubt it. Johnson's 'great (degenerating) society' has succeeded beyond even his demonic dreams of empowerment, dumbing down 'the people' to this current subservience ... a servitude they embrace in their ignorance as they self-inflict a holocaust.

ARE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE THIS STUPID!

Okay, I will try and calm down. One the one hand this administration is no good for not doing a preemptive strike on Al Quaeda, and on the other hand it is no good for doing a preemptive strike on Iraq!!!!

I think of the frog in a tank of water on the stove and slowly heating it up. Our economy needs to be more moral instead of the LEFT USING IT AS A POLITICAL AND CULTURAL WEAPON BY UNDERMINING TRADITIONAL VALUES AND SOCIETY.

Are our Republicans in the administration and in Congress this stupid for allowing this propaganda campaign to materialize out of nothing and gain momentum? Bush deserves to lose IMO. He's a great leader but an inept politician just like the Republican Congress. They haven't a clue how to play hardball with these socialists.

He is a doddering old fool-- just like the Republicans on the 9-11 Commission.

Where are the Republicans saying that if the "Airplanes as missiles plot" was first known the middle 90s, why didn't Al Gore's aviation commission bolt the cockpit doors?

Why isn't the sudan offer being mentioned??

Bill Oh Really (that sensationalistic hack) didn't ask Rino Keane or Lee (partisan in sheep's clothing) Hamilton
about Sudagate or the Gore Commission.

I also think the Commission is absolutely partisan--the fact that they called Bill Clinton on the same day as the Condi spectacle indicates that they wanted his meeting with the commission to get no scrutiny. The RINOS on that commission have betrayed their Country--they are weak men with hollow chests who at another time would have refused the solemn task they have citing problems with their hearts, minds and guts.

It's not Bush, he's doing his best. It's Cheney, it's Frist, it's Hastert, it's Powell. Only Rummy, Rice, and DeLay have the balls to fight back. Everyone else has no cajunes...

How else would you explain allowing Kennedy's treacherous and scandalous comments to gain traction with so many Americans, while these GOP "leaders" (especially Cheney, who comes out of hiding once a quarter to READ a prepared speech, and goes back into his bunker) are mute.
