Hardball Thread

[Catherine Vincent]

Chris Matthews is still yapping about Hillary Clinton's Plantation remarks. I guess since Sharpton kicked ass yesterday, he needs to get a stronger republican view on today.

[democrat_patriot]

1. Who're the 'guests' Coulter and Mehlman?

With the liberal viewpoint of Zell miller?

[Catherine Vincent]

3. Ed Rogers (Rove look alike) and Dee Dee Myers

Well I guess I was wrong. But it's not over yet.

[H2O Man]

6. Myers is doing very well.

The longer that people like her and Sharpton are on, the better I like it. The republicans are doing no harm to Clinton or the democratic party. It is fine with me if Mr. Rogers wants to tell black folks what they would do if they were smart.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

35. I'm surprised that this is the case she (Myers) was a big time bush whore

in 2000.

[babylonsister]

2. But she's getting a lot of air time, which is good. He's

replaying her speech.

[tridim]

4. "I think it's ridiculous.

Just ridiculous. That's what I think" -Pickles

Hahaha.. What a freaking idiot.

[Catherine Vincent]

5. Myers just told what's his face to google "plantation"

because republicans have said it in the past.

[babylonsister]

8. She must listen to Randi, who apparently said the same thing. nt

[Catherine Vincent]

7. Ed Rogers is just pissed that his party is corrupt and it's coming out

You can just see it in his face. Asshat!

[H2O Man]

12. I think the democrats

benefit whenever Dee Dee goes up against that clown. She is very impressive.

[Catherine Vincent]

9. Oh boo hoo hoo, Rogers says he has Abramoff fatigue

:eyes:

[leftstreet]

10. Rogers on Abramoff: "He didn't kill anybody...well maybe that guy in FL"

ROFL!

Did he think that sounded like a joke?

[jsamuel]

14. :O

:wow:

[leftstreet]

16. LOL! Yeah, for real. I can't believe he said that.

Weird sense of humor for a Repub apologist.

[H2O Man]

15. That was strange ....

I don't think he planned it. The comment seemed to come out of left field.

[jsamuel]

17. That sounds like a Daily Show reporter

:rofl:

[txindy]

19. Good! Left field is great. We need more spontaneity from the wingnuts

We get glimpses of the truth that way. They don't handle unscripted remarks very well, particularly when they're the ones making the comments. Did Ed only get the Reader's Digest version of his marching orders today? :rofl:

[leftstreet]

21. I'd like to see blogs all over: "Rogers accuses Abramoff of murder"

:rofl:

[Catherine Vincent]

25. I think they should.

He probably can't believe he said that. Paranoia anyone?

[H2O Man]

26. The funny thing

is he did! Thanks, Mr. Rogers.

[txindy]

32. OH! Now that would be GLORIOUS!

And, hey, we've got it on tape, too!

:rofl:

[One_of_8]

39. So it's okay to joke that Abramoff might have murdered

someone, but if Hilary uses the word plantation, she's the bad guy? I am loving that the Repubs engaged their mouths before their pea-brains, and are now having to hear about all the times they used the word "plantation" themselves.

[H2O Man]

24. He was stunned

to hear that Newt G. used the exact same expression. He tried to keep Dee Dee from making that point, and finally Matthews made it clear he did. I suspect that if there is a film clip of republican presidential candidate Newt saying this, it is going to get some air time soon.

[chat_noir]

43. Gingrich plantation quote

Setting aside the promises of Gingrich's introduction, no reasonable person could expect scholarly inquiry from a man with a history of indulging in bombastic intellectual pretension and outrageous historical analogies: Gingrich once compiled a "required reading list" for fellow members of Congress; and on the eve of his great electoral victory ten years ago, the speaker-to-be told a reporter he was leading a "slave rebellion" against the Democrats who "run the plantation." One might have expected Gingrich to grow up a bit in the years since his fall from grace. But Winning the Future suggests that he's just waiting to launch another rebellion.

[Pirate Smile]

31. LOL. That's hilarious.

[Bozita]

50. That'll cost him his job

I'm sure that Repug spinners are graded on each appearance.

Say goodbye.

[babylonsister]

11. I believe they're going to be talking about swiftboaters

coming up; that's what's been advertised.

[oasis]

48. The swiftboating of Murtha's on hold. Hillary's racism is more important.

:sarcasm:

[babylonsister]

49. Yeah, I noticed that. Color me surprised-not. nt

[SillyGoose]

13. OMG! This Ed Rogers is a freak.

He's tired of the Abramoff deal already. "He didn't kill anybody (well maybe that one guy in Florida)"


:wtf:

[Eric J in MN]

23. did he mention the guy in Florida or did you add that? nt

nt

[Catherine Vincent]

28. no, he said it.

It reruns at 6:00p.m. c.s.t. in case you missed it

[leftstreet]

29. Rogers really did say that.

I think he was trying to make a sick joke, but who knows.

[H2O Man]

30. Rogers said it!

It was fucking strange. He said the first part, in a purposeful tone. Then, in an odd afterthought, he added the "well, maybe the guy in Florida."

[dchill]

18. Chris Matthews never really...

got over that bout with malaria. Of course, that's no excuse for doing such an evil job of covering the REAL wrongdoers in the US government. It's nothing more than a plain fact that the House has been run like a plantation. Only the rich, privileged few have benefitted from their criminal mismanagement. By the time they're done, the rest of us will be lucky to have as good a job as the average plantation slave of 150 years ago.

Every single domestic problem that comes along can be cured by another tax cut for the wealthy. Every "foreign relations" problem has already been handled by God, who has put George Bush in office, and exempted him from telling the truth and following that "goddamn piece of paper" - the United States Constitution.

Hillary on the other hand, is fighting dirty by telling it like it is. There is nothing racist in her "plantation remarks" - every non-wealthy American, regardless of any qualifier, is in the same boat.

[Catherine Vincent]

22. The republicans in charge get the point , they won't admit it...

but will the people that vote republican get the point?

[SillyGoose]

20. This guy is an a-hole.

They call him a strategist?

[Oceansaway]

27. Chris Matthews is an a-hole too.....puke faced

brown nosing butt licking, piss poor example of a media commentator

[txindy]

33. With a wingnut brother he adores

Biiiiiiiig influence there, methinks. If Tweety ever gets any perspective back, he'll be appalled at his work these past years. But, not likely to happen.

[OrangeCountyDemocrat]

34. MSNBC Says Thank You Very Much For Watching

Even though you obviously don't appreciate their journalistic integrity, they are appreciative you took the time from your day to watch their show and boost their ratings.

Thank You again from your right wing friends at MSNBC.

[alcibiades_mystery]

36. Hear hear

Matthews watchers are the most naive and demented of all the self-defeating Democrats.

[Catherine Vincent]

37. His show is still below Olbermann.

LOL!

[OrangeCountyDemocrat]

41. Countdown Is Only MSM News Show I EVER Watch

I have not watched a single news show other than Countdown since 11/04.

I feel that you only make yourself more stupid by watching someone like Chris Matthews or Larry King every day.

At 4:59:40 PST I turn my TV to MSNBC, and the second Keith says "Good Evening Rita," I change the channel.....hopefully before she has a chance to open her mouth and speak with her grainy voice.

[Catherine Vincent]

44. Listen, I am at work watching this, so I don't catch his show

most times if I'm busy. You don't watch it, fine but don't berate the rest of us that do.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

38. It's been about 2 years since I cut off my cable TV. I love it. n/t

[leftstreet]

40. Ah, come on. Sometimes the Corporate Media can truly entertain.

It's not every day you hear a Republican shill accuse Jack Abramoff of murder.

:rofl:

[Catherine Vincent]

45. So true.

[spanone]

42. Hillary is only telling the truth. Thugs hate truth.

[malaise]

46. True but his comments today

are way more balanced. Maybe he read that post on DU asking if he was on the take.

[spanone]

47. David Drier can Kiss My Ass...Lying Son of a Bitch.

both parties are involved in Abramoff scandal...not a one party issue....Hasterts bold move.....more accountability....were dedicated to be bipartisan.....this man is soooo full of SHIT. Boy these cats get religion quick.

[FreedomAngel82]

51. Oh good grief

They're going to milk this thing aren't they?
