While speaking with Fox News host Megyn Kelly, Jehmu Green, former president of the Women’s Media Center called Chris Matthews "a bully" who's "favorite target is women."

For some time, Chris Matthews, the host of MSNBC's Hardball, has targeted Minnesota Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann with taunts and insults, calling her a "balloon head" and comparing her to a hypnotized zombie.

While interviewing her on her re-election victory in November, Matthews attempted to play "gotcha" with Bachmann:

Rep. Michele Bachmann went on MSNBC for an interview with Chris Matthews tonight and handled him with dismissive tone the hack deserved. All he wanted to do was bait her with unprofessional journolisty questions about whether or not the new Congressional majority would investigate Democrats for “un-American activities.”

When Kelly asked if Matthews' attacks were sexist or just impolite, Green said Matthews "crosses the line" with attacks that "go over the top."

Noel Sheppard of Newsbusters notes that Green is no conservative icon, having served as "an advisor to the Hillary Clinton for President campaign as well as serving in various functions for the Democratic National Committee."

The Media Women's Center was founded by Jane Fonda, Robin Morgan and Gloria Steinem - hardly Tea Party activists - in 2005.

Sheppard writes that Green should be someone Matthews would listen to, but Matthews continued his jihad against Bachmann some time later by suggesting the Congresswoman probably could not pass a literacy test:

CHRIS MATTHEWS: When we return -- when I return -- "Let Me Finish" with a history lesson for Michele Bachmann.You’re watching HARDBALL -- she could use one here, she ought to be lucky we still don’t have literacy tests out there. You’re watching HARDBALL, only on MSNBC.

But Matthews seems to have forgotten - conveniently - some of his own history, ...

Excuse me, kind Sir, but I must correct you. Miss Chrissy served in the Peace Corpse. It also explains the stench he emanates.
