In Case You Missed It: MSNBC's Chris Matthews On "Disgusting" Democrat Attacks On Judge Alito

Republican National Committee ^ | October 31, 2005

[RWR8189]

MSNBC's Chris Matthews: "[I]'m Sitting Here Holding In My Hands, A Pretty Disgusting Document, This Is Put Out Not For Attribution. But It Comes From The Democrats, They're Circulating It. I Can Say That." (MSNBC's "MSNBC Live," 10/31/05)

• Matthews: "[T]hen Their Complaint Sheet Against Judge Alito's Nomination. The First Thing They Nail About This Italian American Is He Failed To Win A Mob Conviction In A Trial 20 Years Ago, Or Something Way Back In '88." (MSNBC's "MSNBC Live," 10/31/05) 
   
• Matthews: "In Other Words, They Nail Him On Not Putting Some Italian Mobsters In Jail From The [Lucchese] Family. Why Would They Bring Up This Ethnically Charged Issue As The First Item They Raise Against Judge Alito?" (MSNBC's "MSNBC Live," 10/31/05) 
   
• Matthews: "This Is Either A Very Bad Coincidence Or Very Bad Politics. Either Way Its Gonna Hurt Them. This Document: Not Abortion Rights, Not Civil Rights But That He Failed To Nail Some Mobsters In 1988. This Is The Top Of Their List Of What They've Got Against This Guy. Amazingly Bad Politics." (MSNBC's "MSNBC Live," 10/31/05)  

Matthews: "[The Democrats Are] Trying Not To Put A Signature On It, But I Just Did." (MSNBC's "MSNBC Live," 10/31/05)

I think this might leave a mark...

[DogBarkTree]

Matthew's father probably got sloppy seconds.

[jdm]

Thanks for the info/update. I stopped watching MSLSD awhile ago.

[Semper Paratus]

Is this the Mad Dean's idea to piss off all Italian-americans?

[misterrob]

Wow, I just looked out the window and saw winged swine...

[JohnnyZ]

I like Eyetalian subs.

[IamConservative]

Perhaps the screeching from the moonbats is getting to Chris as well.

[rwa265]

Every once in a while Chrissy gets it right.

[manwiththehands]

Chrissy Fit needs some Dramamine right now.

[indianrightwinger]

Lo$er Chris Matthews redeeming his disgraceful performance on many issues lately?

Wait for more ways the Dems will destroy themselves. This is just the beginning.

[LS]

Heheh. Might want to put some ice on that, Dems.

[duckman]

Based on his Italian comments, this Italian should send him a fish wrapped in newspaper.

[add925]

Matthews will have his "attitude adjusted" by later this evening.....

[cripplecreek]

[SE Mom]

WOW.

Just...WOW ping.

[KStorm]

Using a term from the same decade, I say it's "things that make you go hmmm..."

[Rosemont]

Pigs must be flying. Chris Matthews of MSDNC disagreeing with the Libs???

[MizSterious]

I thought I saw a large pig flying past my window, too. However, the wind is so strong, it might belong to the farmer down the road.

[Rutles4Ever]

He is so confirmed.

[LibWhacker]

Oh, that's the only democrat tactic he's upset about? Has he ever heard of sloppy seconds?

[BlueStateDepression]

Seems Chris had a moment of insight. Either that or.....it was BIZZARRO Chris!

[Southack]

Mathews is right that this is bad politics for the Dems. Their hit-piece document against Alito is going to strike many as being anti-Italian...in other words...racist.

[Brilliant]

It's kinda hard to figure Matthews. He's a rabid Dem, who routinely hits the GOP below the belt. Why does he have a problem with it this time?

[Zacs Mom]

The cRats are so completely and utterly covered in skid-marks who would even notice another?

[Palladin]

They're pissing off the wrong people.

I wonder how Sissy Matthews would like to get knee-capped in a dark alley in South Philly?

[nicmarlo]

ping

[IamConservative]

BTW - What was Alito doing in 1988? As Prosecutor, Defense Attorney or Judge, there is a little thing we call a "jury of our peers" that gets to weigh in on putting people away.

[oceanview]

totally expected.

mark my words - they will find some construction company that poured concrete at his house and say "they were connected" and smear him with that too.

[NeoCaveman]

Wow.

[smith288]

Italian is a race?

[BlueStateDepression]

"Why does he have a problem with it this time?"

Maybe Zell Miller challenged him to another duel!

[nicmarlo]

my children are half-Italian.

I'm thinking I'm going to be sending this article to their aunt......they're all Rats; maybe they would like to know what the Rats think of their being Democrat Italians.

[July 4th]

Is this the Mad Dean's idea to piss off all Italian-americans?

Yeah, that's a brilliant strategy. (warming up baseball bat...)

[calrighty]

rotf..................

[mosquitobite]

What the HECK?? Is this satire?

[The South Texan]

Chrissy just trying to get some Browny points with us so he can go back to concentrating on putting Dick Chenney in jail with Scooter.

[EQAndyBuzz]

The republicans should use this in NYC for 2006. Can't you see it now, Hillary marching up front in the 2006 Columbus Day parade.

[oceanview]

why do this? the Dems have legitimate issues to go after Alito on (not that we would agree with them, but they are legitimate issues for debate nonetheless).

what they want to do here is play into the sheeple's stereotype from being pumped with the Sopranos and the Godfather for years. Remember the taped phone call between Clinton and Flowers regarding Mario Cuomo.

[Phantom Lord]

The RATS are making wild connections. On DU they say he supports lesbian pedophilia rape because he didn't dissent on a case involving a 10 year old girl getting strip searched by a female officer on a drug bust.

[Bush_Democrat]

[cajungirl]

Rudy just might have a word with the dems on this one. Scalia might not like it either.

I am not even Italian and I am offended. Imagine what they would do if he were Irish,,,or Japanese.

[Deb]

What's that supposed to mean?

[ladiesview61]

"Matthews will have his "attitude adjusted" by later this evening....."

I guarantee you're right about that!!

[calrighty]

Like a broken clock...................

[thulldud]

Based on his Italian comments, this Italian should send him a fish wrapped in newspaper

Meaning, "the MSM are sleeping wit' da fishes."

[rattrap]

Well in that vein I'll say "You can't touch this." even though it has nothing to do with the subject at hand.

[Bush_Democrat]

"It's Hammer Time"

[Cicero]

Give Chrissy a little credit. He's the same liberal swine as ever. All he says is that they should have attacked Alito for threatening their precious right to an abortion, instead of starting out with something politically weak and ineffectual. He's complaining that they did an inefficient job of sliming him. If he had been running the DNC they would have done better.

[Theresawithanh]

To me, it sounds like Matthews is just saying they should go after Alito for other issues than the failed conviction.

Like flashbunny says, though, this is gonna leave a mark!
