If only I'd blown off my high school history class, I too could have had a lucrative career as a right wing radio hack. (sigh)

That was pretty brutal. Didn't he know what the topic was going to be? He should have Googled that on his cell phone while he was stalling.
I saw that last night. It was ing awesome to see some holier-than-thou punk get spanked for his hollow, self-serving, hypocritical rhetoric.
I have long said that right-wing talk radio is bad for America for simply providing a platform for demogogues. This was a prime example of ignorance masquerading as "truth" that seems to be the bread and butter of far right wing politics.
Wait a second. Who was the one that said the USS Cole happened during the Bush administration?
Funny the libs missed that tidbit. Matthews could learn a thing or two about history himself. And this was fairly recent for 's sake.![]()
Not the same thing. This guy couldn't even correct himself because he DIDN'T KNOW.
Someone has to call him on it as he said it so smugly, talking out of the side of his mouth like he always does. Chris Matthews is a hack. That no-name conservative radio host should have quit while he was behind and challenged him to a duel.
BTW, the Air America guy is probably the third lib I've heard call Obabma Osama.
I couldn't make it past the four minute mark. How do people watch this crap?
possessed is obsessed with yesteryear.![]()
Those who cannot remember the past, are condemned to repeat it.
I am obsessed with the truth, for the truth shall set you free.
And possibly obsessed with 100 year old catchphrases.
That would make a cool iPhone commercial.
"...so I was totally stumped after the TV host called my bluff, but I stalled for time, yammering away about appeasement, while looked up Neville Chamberlain on wikipedia using the Safari browser..."
The messiah has no clothes, but don't tell anyone or be critical. Just accept him as
your savior and God. Yeah, baby!
The USS Cole bombing was a suicide bombing attack against the U.S. Navy guided missile destroyer USS Cole (DDG 67) on October 12, 2000 while it was harbored in the Yemeni port of Aden. Seventeen sailors were killed.
Note to self:
check facts first, shoot mouth off later...
Say what you want about Mathews' point of view, but he is rarely wrong when it comes to facts.
geez gramps, you really need to upgrade your material. its not even june and this is worn.
Clinton had 3 month left to go.
No worries, if you ever get caught in a bind like that again, try RWR method of raising your voice and repeating your talking points.
(Thinks for a second)
You are indeed correct.
I will do the guy the favor of not editing my post, so that I can now be made fun of.
Never let it be said that I can't take it as well as dish it out. , I might even be wrong and admit it from time to time.
Crap.![]()
Gracious Mea Culpas?You simply don't have the chops to make it as a right wing hack.
I don't think the fact that Matthews got that Cole date wrong matters unless he's going on a national TV show talking about that fact and using it in a political manner. This talk show host went on Hardball supporting an analogy made which he obviously didn't understand.
No one is asking everyone to know every fact on every date of everything in American History, but if you're going to reference somthing you better damn well know what you're talking about.
in' A right.
I am glad you said this, because it saved me the time.
I will generally give even people I disagree with a fair "mulligan" every once in a while, but I don't let really gross stupidity slide at any time, and this definitely falls in that category.
Were they there to talk about the Cole. I'd agree that Matthews was as unprepared as obscure conservotalk guy.
Don't tell me MSNBC couldn't do better than some idiot Mel Kiper-looking regional talk show yahoo to go up against Matthews and the president of the Air America network. He certainly doesn't mind stacking the deck in his favor.
