RE :” 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?”

Glad someone posted on this as I saw this painful segment last night.

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. In this case Tea Party Express co-founder Sal Russo went up against both Matthews AND Salon liberal race baiting witch Joan Walsh. After Russo was yelled at by Matthews for five or so minutes over Bachmann's comments on slavery, Matthews switches to Walsh who attacks Russo personally, and when he tries to defend himself Walsh says, “ Don't interrupt me, you had plenty of time to talk ” when he had NO time to talk. Whenever this happens I always ask :” Don't they watch these shows before they go on them? ”. How could he not know it was an attack when Matthews put Joan Walsh on the same segment? Pat Buchanan is one of the few (MSNBC paid) Republican guests that have the debating experience to go on these shows and stand up to these liberal idiots.

Clip at :
Chris Matthews Yells at Tea Party Leader: Why Is 'Balloon-Head' Bachmann Speaking for You?

He should have either walked off or stated firmly :"I am NOT here to talk about the history of slavery"

Matthews: "What is Balloon-head thinking about when she says this?"

Russo: "She's using that as an illustration...."

Matthews: (Shouting) OF WHAT???!?

Russo: "...of..."

Matthews: (Shouting) OF WHAT?? BALLOON-HEAD THINKING?????"

This is how the exchange mostly was. If Russo really said anything, Matthews would overtalk him or accusing him of being a taped person (like he accused Bachmann of Zombieism.)

There is zero point going on this guy's show. You will NEVER get to finish a sentence.

I’m with you on this - our people need to get their heads out of the clouds. Liberals in the MSM - and especially Chris Matthews - hate us.
