While concluding a segment on racism involved in anti-Obama protests, MSNBC Hardball host Chris Matthews promoted the book of one of his guests, liberal historian Douglas Brinkley, and proceeded to rant: "There’s so much right-wing crap on the best seller list these days. It’s great to see a book that you might want to put on your shelf and let your respected friends see you actually reading."

Brinkley’s book, Teddy Roosevelt: The Wilderness Warrior, did make the New York Times best seller list, coming in at twenty one. However, the list’s top ten was dominated by "right-wing crap." Michelle Malkin’s Culture of Corruption, takes the top spot. Bill O’Reilly’s A Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity comes in at number six, with Mark Levin’s Liberty and Tyranny at number seven. Dick Morris’s Castrophe earned a number eight ranking.

Matthews made a point of saying to Brinkley: "It’s great to see one book on the best seller list that’s worth reading these days. And yours is." Apparently readers seem to think conservative literature is worth reading a little more.

and let your respected friends see you actually reading

Pardon me, but would you happen to have any grey poupon?

“It’s great to see a book that you might want to put on your shelf...”

Typical liberal...buy it and put on shelf!

No one actually reads their crap!!!

[mkjessup]

Sounds like Chrissy got the tingles again, and he’s all wee wee’d up.

[Chgogal]

“No one actually reads their crap!!!”

Or, may I add, watches it.

Hear that Prissy Chrissy? No self respecting person who has any common sense reads or watches the progressive propaganda you and your intellectual light weight cohorts spew forth.

[Bobkk47]

Well, the entire MSNBC schedule is left-wing crap, so it all equals out.

[DManA]

Now they are trying to tell us who our friends should be.

[John D]

How could anybody say O Rielly is conservative?

[Dallas59]

He needs to be taxed...heavily. I’d say %75 of his income to help the poor.

[squarebarb]

I’ll have the maid check with the cook who will make a request to the pantry girl to see if we have any.

[sgtyork]

Wow, I need to run out and Chrissy’s latest book, I hear they are nearlry sold out. /sarc

I hear it looks great on a sustainable bookcase. /sarc

Double play’

[SunkenCiv]

He should be proud for maintaining a downward spiral this long, considering how low he was when he started.

[MinuteGal]

I just can't wait to run out and buy a copy of liberal historian Brinkley's exciting, drama-packed new book, "Teddy Roosevelt, The Wilderness Warrior". I bet it wins not only the Pulitzer Prize but the Nobel Peace Prize as well.

I do hope the cover is green to match my green household.

It’s an old liberal trick. I remember reading that “Earth Day” founder Ira Einhorn used to buy chic “intellectual” books that were popular among the college crowd so he could spread them out on his coffee table for visitors to see. He thought it made him look “hip”, I guess.

[clee1]

Chrissy, the “right wing crap” tops the best-seller list because...

a) us right-wingers have all the money.
b) we have to read right-wing books: you libtards have overrun TV, movies, and music.
c) America really IS a right-of-center Nation; you libtards have just screamed louder and threw more temper-tantrums over the last 40 years - making your logicless policy preferences SEEM to have more support than it really has.

Pi$$ of Chrissy, your 15 minutes are OVER!

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Wait until Palin’s book comes out....the libs are going to go into convulsions. She might sell a million in the first week alone.

Exactly right!

They want to impress others with their psuedo-intellectual capacity, rather than just rely on good old common sense.

[Defiant]

Maybe it should be entitled, “Teddy Roosevelt, First Fascist President”.

[Dick Bachert]

Sadly, the tingle that ran up little Chrissie’s leg during the Obama campaign went all the way up to his head, blowing his tiny vestigial brain out his left ear. Given the many times Chrissie has gladly taken it in the ear for his pals on the left, the size of that orifice made the blowout inevitable. The scar reveals that he DID have a transplant. Unfortunately, it was the cryogenically preserved brain of Lyndon Baines Johnson and turned out to be even smaller than the original organ, probably because – as with nearly ALL Democrats -- it had never been used.

[tsmith130]

I don’t see the video at the link. Can you point me in the right direction?

Lefties don’t read... They just look at the pretty pictures

So was the table arranged, to show off the suitcase he kept his murdered gf Holly Maddux in?...

Typical “enlightened” sensitive liberal.

[CharlesWayneCT]

Bill O’Reilly’s A Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity comes in at number six

Bill O'Reilly is not a right-winger, or a conservative, and his book is not a conservative or right-wing book.

[CharlesWayneCT]

And don’t forget the part about worrying about what other people THINK of you based on the books you put on the shelf.

[Lancey Howard]

I followed that story closely at the time. There was another interesting Philadelphia murder story from around the same era: Kensington shoemaker Joe Kallinger, who murdered his own sons. The Philadelphia Daily News was on top of these stories every day.

[DesertRhino]

“and let your respected friends see you actually reading.”

Yes, yes,,lord *forbid* you to read anything they won’t approve of. Wuss,,,

[Reagan Man]

Thanks, Howie

[Publius6961]

Remember when Hillary bought hundreds of boxes of her book in an attempt to make the best-seller list?
Wonder how long those fed fireplaces in DC... ?

[Republic]

Funny!

I always kinda assumed that that tingle was really a very sexual thing on Chrissy's part (liberal men have a genuine problem with masculinity) and that the tingle emerged as a full blown erection, draining forever fuel to his brain when thoughts of uhbama zeroed in.

Alas...it is much worse than this, since Johnson's brain (the brain that told all of us that the democrats would OWN the Negros in our nation forever after the welfare bill signing) now resides within Chrissy. Just ew.

[BenLurkin]

And yet at the same time, lefties claim that Conservatives don't know how to read!

[Reeses]

Leftists actually buy show book collections to be the envy of their neighbors.

[goat granny]

Lefty’s have to believe all the crap they spout or they would have no reason to live...

[Dick Bachert]

Actually, that reminded me to mention that little Chrissy’s condition was called a an intra-cranial reltney, a “reltny” being an erection so intense that the victim passes out from loss of blood to the brain — even a tiny one like little Chrissy’s — but with his eyes wide open as he doesn’t have sufficient skin left with with to close them.

It’s not a pretty sight.

CHRISSY IS A PROFESSIONAL. DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!

[Minus_The_Bear]

I think the best part of this isn't Matthew's comment but the fact that Brinkley is TERRIBLE historian.

He ruined American Heritage magazine with his vapid writing. I think the circulation was cut in half.

[FreedomPoster]

My line on that is that BOR is a populist, and that when it really gets down to it, he is first and foremost an O’Reillyist.
