Classic. I can't think of any way to combine the name 'Tweety' and 'pwned' though.

 
Cyberluddite [TotalFark] 2008-05-15 08:06:12 PM  
If Tweety, of all people, makes you look like an asshole, you should probably just shoot yourself.

"What did Neville Chamberlain do?"
"APPEASED AND.. AND.. AND..."

I was embarrassed for everyone.

I had it on in the other room and had to peek in. "Who the fark is yelling so loud about nothing?"

What's the record for the number of times the same story gets submitted and commented on in TF?

Is that number a goal or a boundary?

No kidding. As I said in the McAuliffe thread- Fark has shown me two conversations where Matthews comes off as the sane one. I am afraid. Very afraid.

If these talking heads put in any effort at all this sort of thing could happen every day.

Anyone else find it kind of funny that after destroying this guy for not knowing history from 70 years ago, Ha!Ha! tried to blame Bush for the USS Cole? What a pathetic display of ignoramuses, all around.

chris mathews somehow finds idiots like this every couple months to get "hardballed". like a comic who props fat ppl and baldies in the front row to make fun of. and its always funny as hell.

If you get owned by a guy who wistfully dreamed about the way Fred Thompson smells, you need to work on your talking points.

To be fair, the Cole happened in October of 2000, but they didn't know who had done for certain it until late December, so rather than start a Somalia type situation for the incoming President, the Clinton Administration passed the info and decision onto Bushes staff, who proceeded to ignore it.

 
Don't Be Dumb 2008-05-16 01:02:43 AM  
I've got to listen to Chris Matthews at my commencement address tomorrow, and I've been pretty upset about it for some time because I think he lacks substance (or maybe just gets too much of a hard-on for bickering and petty politics). At least this is one good thing I can think about him while I sit there.

 
Aarontology [TotalFark] 2008-05-16 01:03:34 AM  
Oh man. I'll bet you could fit a pineapple in his ass after that pwnage.

 
Occam's Chainsaw [TotalFark] 2008-05-16 01:03:55 AM  
Thank FSM one of them finally went green.

If I were comedian Kevin James, I would sue this douche with the same name for tanking your career by association. Because it had to be his fault, right? Right?

redmond24: chris mathews somehow finds idiots like this every couple months to get "hardballed". like a comic who props fat ppl and baldies in the front row to make fun of. and its always funny as hell.

He should do it more often. Every idiot that gets slammed like this is an idiot that gets discredited and, with enough luck, replaced by someone who will know not to be like the last guy.

 
GWShenlong05 [TotalFark] 2008-05-16 01:08:31 AM  
I sure hope Matthews was using ironic humour when he said that the USS Cole attack happened under Bush's watch (He says right afterwards "I don't know what I'm talking about here").

Otherwise, this kinda makes him look as stupid as James.

Mind you, it was still a country ass-kicking.

Probably because they were too busy vandalizing and trashing the White House.

Where is this douchebag from? He has a terrible hick accent. His rising hysteria makes it even more irritating. How the hell did he get his own talk show?

 
Rethorn 2008-05-16 01:11:24 AM  
Holy shiat. That is pathetic.

"His actions enabled, legitimized, and energized hitler to do whatever he did more easily, however he did it. I have no idea what the fark took place, but its the fault of the libs"

 
LocalCynic 2008-05-16 01:11:48 AM  
I'm not a Matthews fan at all, but that was just ridiculous. On one hand he could have just cut the guy's mic, but watching the incredulous look on his face as this clown kept spinning was priceless.

I think Matthews just single-handedly disarmed the stupid appeasement analogy.

 
agoratrader 2008-05-16 01:11:50 AM  
I'm a liberal and that was painful even for me to watch.

 
mrexcess [TotalFark] 2008-05-16 01:12:17 AM  
The tragedy here isn't that he didn't have a grasp of the reference that pleased him so much, it's that success can come to those for whom facts are secondary if not outright inconveniences.

But a few troops can and will be sacrificed willingly, for this is a spearhead: a full on and aggressive, if hastily improvised, push at the presumptive Democratic candidate. Conservative think tanks, political, and media echo chamber is busily spinning up a whole theory of "appeasement" in order to justify linking Obama to people like Chamberlain, with a big old side helping of "no land for peace" thrown in for good measure. I expect to be hearing more of it in the coming days, at least if Epic Fail President hasn't sunk that ship, too.

I got the impression that he was mocking James for not knowing his sh*t. Matthews has been known to throw bricks when attempting humour (e.g. This incredibly creepy clip (new window) (new window) with Erin Burnett).

When this clown came on, I FFwd through him once started yelling, which was about five seconds in. Now, after seeing this, I went back and played it.

Am I allowed to say "awesome" pwnage? Not only is that DJ guy completely out of his depth, he tries to overcome his lack of knowledge by being loud and obnoxious. If ever there was a reason to distinguish between news shows and shows about news events, this should solidify it. This James guy is iconic AM radio.

I know there's a lot of hate for Chris Matthews, but I just love his Hah!

When Chris Matthews argues with you and you come out looking like a dumbass, you gotta know that you fail at life.

 
LocalCynic 2008-05-16 01:20:46 AM  
I love how some conservative goons are already pushing back, claiming that it wasn't Munich but just simply that Chamberlain was willing to talk to Hitler that was the problem. It's sad, really. This analogy is awful, yet they don't want to move on.

 
mister13 2008-05-16 01:21:05 AM

Re; the Obama camp response - , if someone gives a speech condemning appeasement - and doesn't mention you by name - it's probably counter-productive to loudly complain "Hey, stop talking about me!!!".

//Just sayin'.

//Hard to figure how direct talks / no conditions / no diplomats with a head-of-state
//who believes the Holocaust never happened - could be productive of anything good.

//In that sort of situation diplomacy often reverts to it's old form per Teddy R. of being
//"The art of saying "nice doggy" while reaching for a stick."

//Listened to an NPR interview of old JFK aide Ted Sorensen this week - and he was
//SO proud of JFK for engaging in direct (back-channel) talks with Russia's Mr. K.
//Also no pre-conditions, etc., etc. He was only a little peeved that Mr. K had used the
//opportunity to lie through his teeth about his intentions, and the Cuban missiles in
//particular. Apparently it was from those contacts that K. decided that JFK was a
//light-weight who would acquiesce to the missiles if he found out.

//Let the State Department earn it's keep.
