Surreal: Gingrich Hater Chris Matthews Goes To Iowa To Confront Him (video)
RealClearPolitics ^ | January 2, 2012 | RealClearPolitics

Posted on 01/02/2012 2:53:35 PM PST by i88schwartz

In what seems to becoming a trend, MSNBC's partisan hosts are going on the trail in Iowa not to observe the Republican presidential candidates, but to question them as if they were a campaign embed or a reporter without bias.

Consider the following. Last week MSNBC's liberal stalwart Ed Schultz followed rising candidate Rick Santorum, a strong social conservative, in Iowa for a few days.

Chris Matthews, an admitted Obama supporter and Newt Gingrich hater, caught the candidate off guard in Iowa yesterday to ask him about PAC money among other topics. If you recall, last year Matthews said Gingrich "looks like a car bomber" and had the audacity to say the former Speaker has made politics "nastier and more feral".

I forget. Which one is Chris Matthews?

Is she the one who's married to Alan Greenspan?

No, wait. That's Andrea Mitchell.

Well, I'm sure I'd recognize her if I saw her.

If Chris Mathews caught Newt “off guard” it was not evident in anything I saw linked from this thread....

They are afraid of Newt. He must have better polling than is being published.

That’s why the left is pushing Santuram, *for now*, they think it will take away from Newt. But sorry to say, they cannot choose our candidate like they chose McCain.

GO NEWT !!!

Poor Newt.

He's being disassembled by the left (that hate him) and the right (Romney). His image is tarnished by false accusations, mischarachterizations etc. Some of the trash that is being circulated out there on Newt is outright disgusting (wife/divorce stories that are completely twisted and inaccurate but make him look horrible).

Oh well, Romney it is. It was obvious a while back that he would be the guy the GOP places out front for us.

No, he’s the coward who joined the Peace Corps to get out of going to Vietnam. Guess he didn’t have “missionary work” in France to fall back on.

The MSM has lost every shred of credibility for objective journalism. I hope the rest of America realizes this and wakes up!

The dirt bags make me sick.

Romney thinks he has it...... But deep down, he won’t win the Nomination.

Free Republic is one of the largest Conservative websites if not the largest Conservative gathering website. And it’s an ANTI-ROMNEY website.

He won’t have Conservatives support and Zero would only use that to his advantage.

Romney will never have the Conservative or Tea Party Base. He should have run 3rd party or waited to run as a Democrat.

Romney is DONE.

Newt would decimate the boy wonder in debate and the socialist media know it.

(it’s a rhetorical question)

That is exactly what is happening. Even CNN had some puff pieces on Santuram. I think they are very afraid on Newt. GO NEWT!

Matthews is the one whose head looks like a canned ham gone bad.
