Why does Newsbusters care so much about Chris Matthews? The guy is a clown of the highest order. I'm a liberal guy and I've got liberal friends. Want to know something I've never heard one of them say? "Hey, did you hear what Chris Matthews said last night? He was spot on!"

JerseyTim: Why does Newsbusters care so much about Chris Matthews?

Because he got excited once, and it was for Obama. That's it. That's all it took. Never mind that he said virtually the same thing on air about GWB. He said something nice about Obama once so now he's apparently the measuring stick for all things left. No one cares except the RW.

Oh geez, I don't know.

Maddow? She can be strident, though. David Gregory? Nope, lets big questions go unasked when talking to a conservative.

I'd say maybe Tim Russert. He was another one who didn't press issues with neo-cons, but he was a nice guy, and fairly evenhanded.

Wait a minute here. The Tea Party is always going on about how "readin' and ritin' is for phags" and intellectuals are liberal scum, so if you are saying Obama is not smart, does that mean he can count on Tea Party support?

If in Matthews' view some whites that voted for Obama in 2008 have lost that loving feeling because of racism, shouldn't that same standard apply to him thereby making him a racist as well?

Matthews' point flew over that guy's head faster than a neutrino.

I can't stand Chris Matthews, but I can't see the racism thing here. Maybe someone can point it out for me? Was he calling the people who didn't vote for Obama racists? Or implying it? If so he is a douche, but I'm not sure that is really what he did.

Some true believers think that racism is the only reason someone wouldn't of voted for Obama. I don't remember Matthews saying that, but then again, I really don't watch Matthews (or any commentators, for that matter)

FTFY. It's not that someone didn't vote for Obama that gets them accused of racism, it's that in the next sentence they accuse Obama of being an illegal Kenyan usurper that makes people call them racist.

Also, I always get a kick out of people who obsess over Matthews excited comment. Pat Buchanan was literally GUSHING over Obama's acceptance speech at the DNC in '08. Olbermann had to interrupt him because he kept going on and on about how he had never heard such a brilliant and eloquent speech. Yes, that Pat Buchanan.

I think that's idiotic, not raciest. Definition of racism seems is becoming pretty broad. To say that he is a Kenyan and thus not smart enough to be President, would be raciest.

Because we are not their target audience. They are not trying to convince dirty libs like us. Chris Matthews, Chris Hayes and Rachel Maddow are all on MSNBC. You and I know Hayes and Maddow are pretty farking smart people. They have incredibly smart, relevant points to make. Were a conservative to listen to their arguments, it would require them to actually make a thoughtful reply. It might even make them reconsider their own beliefs about the GOP.

But as it turns out, Maddow is gay, so she can be ignored. What's more, Chris Matthews is a loudmouth who says dumb shiat, so clearly all of the liberals on MSNBC are equivalent and can also equally be ignored.

What this article is, what attacking just Chris Matthews results in is reassurance to Conservatives that yes, sleep easy tonight, all of the liberal pundits on MSNBC are this farking crazy so you can still continue to ignore them all.

It's not just Fuddbusters, it's the entire right wing blogodome. And I've never really understood it either.

It's the same thing with Paul Krugman. I probably wouldn't even know who that guy is if not for my love of the unintentional humor of right wing blogs. But apparently he's the most dangerous, powerful human being on Earth even though he looks like a failed ventriloquist and 99.9% of the population has no idea who he is.

You know who's a racist?

Here's some quotes:

"As your governor, I shall resist any illegal federal court order, even to the point of standing at the schoolhouse door in person, if necessary."

"...that today we sound the drum for freedom as have our generations of forebears before us time and again down through history. Let us rise to the call for freedom-loving blood that is in us and send our answer to the tyranny..."

"If any demonstrator ever lays down in front of my car, it'll be the last car he'll ever lay down in front of. "

Sound like a current prominent Republican? There's a couple names that sound like that, Perry in particular due to the governor comment. The demonstrator line sounds like every Republican condemning OWS.

You know who those were?

George Wallace. He just sounds like every Republican today. Think on that next time you start spouting Republican talking points. The stuff about Ivy League liberals? That was him too.

The rest of that middle quote?

It is very appropriate that from this cradle of the Confederacy, this very heart of the great Anglo-Saxon Southland, that today we sound the drum for freedom as have our generations of forebears before us time and again down through history. Let us rise to the call for freedom-loving blood that is in us and send our answer to the tyranny that clanks its chains upon the South. In the name of the greatest people that have ever trod this earth, I draw the line in the dust and toss the gauntlet before the feet of tyranny, and I say segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever.

If you read carefully, Matthews didn't say he wasn't smart. He said he wasn't smart being smart all the time----which makes him stupid?/? Can't see what Matthews point was other than Obama is a big zero when it comes to being qualified to run for a second term.
