Mr. sputtering, frothing and infinitely rude Chris Matthews please...PLEASE!!!!.... ask your network to pull that F*%$ing promo spot where you dare the GOP to put forward "one" just "one" spokesperson/candidate who would admit that Barack Obama is just as American as the rest of "us".
Not only has Jon John Huntsman wonderfully addressed that question in his opening remarks.. it was already apparent some of the GOP hopefuls .. were not playing the "suspicious" Kenya card.
Most mainstream GOP candidates are not going to play that card. The most pernicious of the batch may let their lackies flirt with the issue. But "birthers" will not be the focus of a GOP campaign on any national level.
Sooo?
Mr. Mathtews....
You are a blustering, foaming ignoramus who has zero social regard for the poor victims who are "booked" to share air time with your ego.
No "media enabled" American... including Hannity and Beck.. has less regard for the people who are asked to share TV time in the dubious guise of guest.
Chris.... Don't you hear the voices in your earphone?
Shut the fuck up. Don't ask a question and then describe the response that is acceptable to you... and then just impose it.
Mr Matthews. You are the anti-Christ of civil debate as much as any hack at Fox.
You love yourself. You award blessings to guests who please you with papal arrogance.
You have been a liberal and a "Liberal". I would happily include you in a list of people who help express my view of America's current state.... except that....
You embarrass me as an MSNBC viewer because you are a Beckish rodeo clown.
I simply wait for a guest to say the obvious.. " shut the F up Chris... Your staff forgot to aske me to shut up and let you ramble incoherently at large and at length."
So the guest gets over guessed, over talked, over ignored as the Matthews ego bores on relentlessly.
Hannity and Beck.. we hope.. slowly and surely wilt and die as realities screw up their rhetoric.
Matthews' inchoate and incoherent flood of Kennedy era "feeling", devoid of intellectual discipline is intolerable and indefensible.
Like FOX, Matthews is a fount of his own "gut-based" information..and an enemy of open discourse.
FOX predetermines spin. Matthews simply talks over anything and everything HE AGREES WITH due to his sense of intellectual hegemony.
From my ideological perspective... I am a Bernie Sanders' devotee.. I decry the "entertaintmentization" of political discourse (it was designed to extend ie exploit the credibility of AM radio in an FM world.)
I have no lingering regard for Chris Matthews' c.v. He cannot master the inordinately tricky concept of.... listening.
The antidote to FOXness still belongs to Comedy Central.
MSNBC... with your goddamn LOCKUP weekends..are part of the problem.
