Hardball Meltdown: Chris Matthews Unhinged on Talk Radio
Sierra Times ^ | 11/25/2005 | Jim Kouri, CPP

Posted on 11/26/2005 1:18:57 PM PST by FerdieMurphy

MSNBC's talk show host Chris Matthews is a man who obviously: (1) Believes he is the smartest man on television; (2) Enjoys bullying women such as Michelle Malkin; (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 in quoted as saying, "America's enemy in the war on terror is not evil -- they just have a different perspective."

As a result of Chris Matthews pseudo-intellectual speech, radio talk show host Bob Newman invited him to appear on KOA's "The Gunny Bob Show," aired in Denver. Bob is a decorated Marine, a syndicated columnist and Men's News Daily contributor who specializes in terrorism and counterinsurgency. Matthews agreed to appear on Newman's show. Many listeners may argue it wasn't an appearance as much as it was a total meltdown of a man who got caught displaying anti-American tendencies on a radio show with bigger ratings than Hardball.

Bob Newman was interested in pursuing the meaning of Matthews' statements in Toronto. According to the Gunny, he 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.

Matthews displayed the usual behavior lefties utilize when they feel cornered like rats: start spouting anti-Bush rhetoric and play to the cheap seats where you'll find the left-wing moonbats sitting and cheering. But the hang up in the middle of an interview shows Matthews can give it but can't take it.

"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.

"The rage Chris demonstrated at me because I had the temerity to challenge not only his controversial speech but his explanation of that speech, as well as his belief that terrorists are a 'sub-set' of America's enemies, was alarming. What kind of journalist conducts himself like that? Especially on a show that has more listeners than he has viewers. "He blasted into the interview at full bore and went straight for my throat. He quickly realized that sort of tactic wasn't going to work on me. He didn't do his background work to find out who I am and what I used to do for a living. That apparently panicked him and he went ape when I pressed on and on with questions he didn't want to answer on the air."

If Chrissy went up in flames I wouldn't waste an ounce of piss to put out the fire.

The problem with Matthews is that some time in the distant past he bought into the concept that not only are liberals morally superior but that they are anointed. Anointed to the point that their views cannot be seriously questioned. If you do question those views you are a Nazi/homophobic/racist/misogynist/hater.

As it has been said, "Liberals only support the First Amendment when you agree with their point of view."

IMHO, Matthews has serious substance abuse problems.

And Dennis Prager is so low key. He's incisive as hell, but he's so respectful and laid back about the whole thing. And he won't let go of his topic, no matter how the lib tries to spin off to another subject.

Prager is one of the most convincing voices out there.

Check this bloggers encounter with 'spittin Chrisie:

“Anyhoo, there was a backup in the kitchen and it was taking some time for everyone to get their pizza. My party waited about 25 minutes. I've been there many times before and this is very unusual for the place.

Chris Matthews and his wife are at the next table. He starts yelling at his waitress because the pizza is taking so long. And I'm not talking 'hey, where are the pizzas.' I mean, berating her. He even went so far as to call her a liar. Keep in mind this was after the poor girl, who was no more than 18 years old, told him she would box his pizzas and he could have them for free.

Did he thank her for her offer? No. Instead he stands up and starts yelling and wildly gestulating. Over a frigging pizza. He had to be a foot taller than this girl, but he was in her face pointing and yelling like she was a guest on Hardball and she was embroiled in the lastest political scandal. He then stormed out, leaving his mortified wife to hash out the situation.

What an a-hole. I, for one, won't be watching Hardball anymore. I watch it all the time and for the most part, I find his guests to be interesting. I actually like him when he tones down the interrupting and yelling. But after last night, the sight of his mug makes me sick. The same goes for his wife, who's a local news anchor. I never would have let my husband treat a waitress like that.”

Good Lord you hit the nail on the head! And succinctly too! I have been searching for a way to "pigeonhole" liberals and you said it!

Thanks!!

What do you expect from one that acts like a Massachusetts liberal through and through?

Matthews sounds like someone who is wearing shorts one size too small.

"He is also wrapped a bit too tight. It would not surprise me if he goes off the deep end at some point."

Good call, Pharmboy. I've been saying that to my friends for years : )

I have always figured he must drink "Stupid Juice" I see no way he could get that dumb without something special to help.
