Chris Matthews: from Hardball to Oddball



It’s incredibly obvious just how liberal the lame stream media is—they can easily be mistaken for Obama’s campaign strategists. But to listen to Chris Matthews and take him seriously, you would have to suspend your intellect and take a flight of fantasy on the Oddball Blimp. Michele Bachmann's campaign announcement and Matthews' response follows.

MICHELE BACHMANN: I want my candidacy for the presidency of the United States to stand for a moment when we, the people, stand once again for the independence from a government that has gotten too big and spends too much and has taken away too much of our liberties. Government thinks it knows better. Government thinks it knows better how to spend our money. Government thinks it knows better how to make a better life for us. They think they create jobs. They even think they can make us healthier, but that's not the case. We have to recapture the Founders' vision of a constitutionally conservative government if we are to secure the promise for the future.

So naturally, this MSM idiot had a different take as he spoke to Michael Steele, former RNC Chair:

CHRIS MATTHEWS: What is this, Michael? The Protestant Reformation? That somehow we're going back to the purity of the original Christian church? We're going back to the original perfection of slaveholders and how perfect they were and government is the enemy. She speaks pure Tea Party lingo.

‘Lingo?’ Matthews’ use of the word ‘lingo’ takes me back to bell bottoms and “Saturday Night Fever.” Can you picture Matthews “cutting up a rug” at the disco? But the purpose of my blogging about him isn’t to put forth an ad hominem attack on the man who would be drooling, but to look at his take on all things not socialistic.  So Michael Steele responds:

MICHAEL STEELE: Well, she's like the Council of Trent for the Catholic Church.

MATTHEWS: Right. What is it she's going back to the purity of the old days?

STEELE: She's not going back to the purity of the old days.


MATTHEWS: Yes, she is.


Isn’t it enlightening to listen to the persuasiveness of the Matthews comeback?  He’s like the kid in the schoolyard who thinks he wins the argument because he yelled louder than the other kids.


STEELE: It's reminding us of some of the foundational principles.

STEELE: What? Slavery?

MATTHEWS: Well, that was in the original founding principles.


Was slavery considered a principal? I don’t think so—while it is mentioned in the Constitution, it seems the Democrats forget that it was the Republicans who fought against slavery in the Civil War, not the slave-owning Democrats. Many liberals like to think of themselves as the only moral group of individuals on earth, as they sail the Gaza flotilla to protest the only moral and civilized country in the Middle East, with their anti-Semitic agenda. The truth is, liberal social systems, like Welfare, keep people slaves to those systems, and most of these people are minorities. Abortion is another liberal notion that is killing more black children than any other killer right now. So don’t tell a conservative about racism. We just have too much dignity to use that term on liberals because we know the real power of that word and we don’t want to make you cry.

STEELE: Please, Chris. Stop. Stop jumping in. You know that's not what this is about. And the reality is, when I became chairman of the RNC in 2009, I inherited a party that was lost. Its moorings not anchored as they once were. And, so, you've have candidates now who have emerged out of the last two years who understand by going around the country and listening to the people what some of those foundational issues are for them. Let me speak to that.

               
MATTHEWS: Okay, let's take Michael at his word. The foundational issues: Government is bad
.


This simplistic response from Matthews should not trick you into believing he is an idiot—I’m sure he isn’t really an idiot. That would give idiots a bad name and label them liberals. Matthews is a man whose TV audience is limited to viewers who will only watch whatever preconceived notions they have gotten from The Daily Show. They don’t like Fox because the moment a report disagrees with something Jon Stewart has said in order to make conservatives look stupid, these viewers become angry, lost, and confused. They find solace in finding someone to call a racist, because while race seems to be the one issue they cannot get out of their mind, they know how to hurt with the label. So Chris Matthews stoops to the lowest level he can find in order to appease his zombie followers.  His “racist-oriented.”
