Chris Matthews Meltdown: Hardball Host Unhinged on Talk Radio
The National Ledger ^ | 11-23-05 | Jim Kouri

Posted on 11/23/2005 9:04:39 AM PST by Coastal

MSNBC's talk show host Chris Matthews is a man who obviously: (1) Believes he is the smartest person on television; (2) Enjoys bullying women such as Michelle Malkin on the air; (3) Enjoys bullying senior citizens who may not be as quick with the mouth as he is; (4) Is irrelevent except for a few of his fellow moonbats who actually believe he's a mental giant; (5) Is of the opinion that he's really competition for Fox News Channel's lineup.

During a speech he gave in Canada at the University of Toronto, Matthews did what most American liberals do when in a foreign country -- he denigrated his own country. During his usual bloviating Matthews is quoted as saying, "America's enemy in the war on terror is not evil -- they just have a different perspective."

As a result of the Chris Matthews pseudo-intellectual speech, radio talk show host Bob Newman invited him to appear on KOA's "The Gunny Bob Show," aired in Phoenix.

A subset means that there is a greater enemy. Considering Chrissy the Sissy's rant against Bush, he obviously considers the Administration is the greater enemy. This is the standard dhimmicrat position these days. Nothing new there.

The typical reaction of a hypocritical lefttwing slug. There was an interested article in a Flint, MI newspaper about another fata$$ leftwing hypocrite by the name of Michael Moore. These lefties talk a good line, but they are greedy, overbearing weasels for the most part.

Stop wasting your time with this guy. Look at his profile. If he's a Republican in any way then I'm Gunga Din. Anyone who claims Republicans are ANTI clean water, ANTI clean air etc is in need of serious help.

This is the sort of person who believes the Rep. are pro war simply because they are willing to stand up and defend this country. The left, which I am sure this poster is a member of, believes they are somehow noble because they call themselves anti war when in fact the reason they won't fight is actually two fold. They are, with few exceptions, physical cowards and they do not believe this country is worth defending to the extent they are willing to give their lives for her.

Thanks for the info.

Wow! looking at his/her profile page says alot. Either the person is young, hasn't done much homework, or is just trying to be a disrupter.

So why are you even commenting on this? Your position is nothing like Matthews' yet you defended his?

I'm an independent voter who is more to the left on environmental issues, but fairly conservative on most everything else. It surprises me that the Republican party is not a huge supporter of clean air, clean water, and wilderness preservation. If the Repubs would become champions of the environment, I think they could convert a lot of Dems. There is a lot of space between the kooky ELF and the pave everything philosophy. The conservatives should stake out some sane territory in between.

Oh, never mind...

I get your drift, so to speak .... NYU is located in the thick of things just by itself, nevermind the Drama Dept.

thanks

Do you remember his son who was on some special show broadcasting from "freedom square" (something like that) ?
His son, who looks alot like dad, was on the show and sang a song? He was awful; he totally lacked a voice, emotion, rhythm or sex appeal. I could'nt believe Chris would try and promote the kid unless love is blind and he actually thought he had some talent.

I heard Chris today on another Dennis Prager's radio talk show , and Dennis could'nt get a word in. Chris did'nt
want to answer questions or in anyway support his views ; he sounded hyper and nervous. I wonder if he did this interview after the meltdown. I could tell he was trying not to explode or hang up. Can't wait to hear Laura Ingram talk about this one.

I wonder how much money he was paid for his little talk in Canada.

Anyone know anything about Michael Moore's speech to some progressive group ? He denied owning any Haliburton stock; actually, he denied owning any stock. He said he was amused by the story.

Damned shame we don't live in a more civilized age.

Seeing Mr. Miller put that rabid dog down would have been beyond priceless.

Oh well, so much for "Progress".

From Gunny Bob Newman:

MSNBC'S CHRIS MATTHEWS OF "HARDBALL" DETONATES ON THE GUNNY BOB SHOW

Screams, Rants, And Then Hangs Up On The Gunny

In what may go down in media history as the most embarrassing, disastrous interview the veteran television news show host has ever conducted, Chris Matthews, the hyper-active, aggressive, interruption-prone host of MSNBC's "Hardball," had a core meltdown on the "Gunny Bob Show" Tuesday evening.

The Gunny had asked Matthews to come on his show to discuss Matthews' recent speech at the University of Toronto in which Matthews said that America's enemy in the war on terror "is not evil -- they just have a different perspective."

The Gunny repeatedly asked Matthews if he thought terrorists are our enemy. Finally, after Matthews apparently realized that the Gunny wasn't going to allow him to dodge the question, Matthews replied that terrorists are "a sub-set of our enemy," to which Gunny Bob asked what that meant. Matthews flew into a rage and it went downhill from there.

When the Gunny told Matthews that he wasn't buying his bizarre, convoluted explanation of his controversial speech, Matthews started screaming about how awful the Bush administration is and then totally lost it by hanging up on the Gunny with considerable gusto and fury.

"I knew the guy was a hot head with serious discipline problems, but when he came out of the gate swinging and kept dodging questions and offering incomprehensible answers and obvious diversions, I knew I had a live one on the line. I was, however, quite surprised that he felt so humiliated on my show that he decided that hanging up was his best option. I expected more professional behavior from Chris, frankly," the Gunny said.

For the record, the Gunny believes our enemy in the war on terror are terrorists, who are not a sub-set of anything.

We can see where his son gets it from...

(From the earlier link about Matthews' malaria) "Still, something wasn’t right. By then, nausea was as good a word as to describe my condition. I took Tylenol and kept plugging along. "Hardball," my TV show, had an expensive new set, Phil Donahue was premiering the hour before me, and I had a job to do: Sparkle!"
