Chris Matthews is obsessed with hating Hillary. That is a no brainer. It's not about disagreeing with her; he simply dislikes her.
Andrea Mitchell shocked me as she actually debated the twit aka Tweety Mathews about the whole "like-ability" issue...
But again both of them fell head first into Matthews republican talking points!
More...
Again, for the record, Hillary is NOT my first choice ...I support in this order: Edwards, Obama, Clinton (however, I would vote unflinchingly for any one of them over any thug put up.....and let me add this caveat: IF HRC did win the nod and the presidency I would take immense pleasure in seeing Matthews head explode if Hillary won).
Here is what I do not get:
Why are the MSM obsessed with Hillary's supposedly (sexist much?)"unpleasant, harsh, "shrill" (whatever negative term they can come up with)? I find nothing particularly problematic there but even if it were not my "favorite" pitch, so f*cking what?
And how can the same people who obsess over HRC's voice and not say a freaking thing about Rudy's lisp? And who the hell besides hero worshipping idiots like the MSM think that a "Southern Drawl" is the be all and end all and makes Fred Thompson likeable? Hell, George Wallace, racist segregationist, had a southern drawl?
I just have to rant.
When Matthews continues to go on and on and on and on and on and on about "likeability" and gets away with it and no one challenges that idiocy from the MSM, the millionaire pundits, it makes me crazy.
So Matthews, IF you are reading this (fat chance, I know), IF you read anything beyond the republican talking points and neocon sites, here's a reality check.
WE, the people, get it. Electons are ABOUT THE ISSUES. YOU the pundits are the idiots who spin likeability or the lack thereof with your lies so you can get your "tax cuts" to keep you all rich; can keep the gated community folks safe and unhappy. You did it to Gore with your crap; you are trying to do it to Hillary and to Edwards and I have NO DOUBT if OBAMA is the candidate you will find a way to spin it that he is not likeable enough.
And here are a few hints:
*George Bush was NEVER likeable to many of us. Bush was the obnoxious rich guy at the frat parties in the 60's whom we all outgrew by our third year!
*Fred Thompson, the over-the-hill B-actor with a trophy wife is ONLY likeable to losers like you who apparently find heroes in the myth of the "good old boys".
*Rudy, Mr. "Tell my wife she's being dumped on tv..abandon my own kids", despised by the NY firefighters and many "regular" people (yes Chris, people of color are regular) is not likeable to most....except you and your buds who get man-crushes (though as a woman, I can tell you, Rudy is one of the least attractive men in the race...why anyone, man or woman would see him as appealing is beyond me).
*No, Chris, NOT EVERYONE thought Ronald Reagan was handsome, or a hero. Some of us actually know the truth about what Mr. Reagan did in Nicaragua, in Afghanistan.
OK, I am obsessed with the MSM, and most especially Matthews. When do they end their hate games, and even more important when do people like Gergen REALLY CHALLENGE these idiots and their spin?
If I would ever meet Matthews, I would ask him. "How do you look yourself in the mirror?" (then again, can you see your reflection if you sold your soul?)
I would ask the same of Tucker and others neocons but then why bother? None of them ever had any souls to sell!
