And for JaHerer22 to assert that Matthews is “fair to his guests,” maybe he should look at the tape of how he treated our very own Michelle Malkin when she was on his show.

You’re right – except, that you described Matthews of a few years ago, when I watched him nearly nightly, but mostly on election nights because he so loved the politics, no matter who won or lost. Something happened to him lately and he looks/acts/speaks perturbed, often.

Watch what you wish for – you might be the first victim.

I agree Andrea.

And I don’t think he’s a smart-assed punk who needs a beating proper either.

that’s not a left position that’s an “American” position. yeah, sure if we’re suddenly a socialist nation run by lefty fascists.

Well, the ’06 elections probably put us in the “socialist nation” category – at least until ’08.

Sure he’s a Democrat and he’s very anti-war but he’s not nearly the partisan, talking-point-spouting, demagogue that Olbermann is

Yeah, Jaherer, Matthews’ extensive coverage of Plamegate was very, very objective and non-partisan.

Well as of a 11/7 we are. And from all the success this Surge seems to be garnering it looks like come 2008, Red State may just have a new meaning.

The believe their thoughts are the same as actions, maybe even better than actions. And they aren’t interested in anyone contradicting them.

“Can you please tell me the exit strategy for Iran in Iraq?”

Answer:

They don’t have one,you Foxtrot Moron!

Hardball’s a good show if you like politics, even if you don’t like Matthews, because at least he isn’t on a self-righteous crusade to save the world every night. He brings on smart people and let’s them talk, something a lot of hosts could learn from him.

My family is Irish. All of it. My family came here in the 1890′s. My wife’s family came here in the 1950′s and 1960′s.
Someone in this family has fought in every single war America has waged since 1917 with the exception of the First Gulf War. Guess you could say we are pretty conservative…..MOST of us. There is an outlaw. My sister-in-law in Wisconsin. Stay at home, watch TV, welfare-food-stamp-gimme my dole kinda American. Her world view is formed completely by Springer/Matthews/Couric/Gore/NBC/CBS/ABC/Ophra/Kennedy..needless to say the world is made of the following truths….
Kennedy was killed by the CIA.
Corporations sit on the board of directors in the Star Chamber.
Global warming is caused by America.
NOTHING the U.S. Government does is good.

There are MILLIONS and MILLIONS of her that go to the polls while we sit around and chew-the-fat AND ALL THE MEDIA KNOWS IT. Bread and Circus is a MEDIA program and it seems to work quite well. DECEIT is a weapon that the MSM wield expertly. That weapon is trying to kill us all. Until we BANKRUPT the MSM nothing will change. So do you have the gumballs? Do you know how to BLOCK CBS/NBC/ABC/CNN? Or will that put you into withdrawls? Will you panic? Will the lack of American Idol and Grey’s Anatomy cause you to implode? Could you possibly LIVE if the NYT didn’t land on your doorstep? America votes with their pocket-book far better then it does on election day. Time to vote.
