Keep pushing your Camelot wet dreams, Chris, if that's all that keeps you going. You're starting to LOOK like a Kennedy--Teddy.
I wish a few of the GOP candidates would let fly with Mathews and clean his clock. Unfortunately they all want to avoid offending the press, so they’ll just simper and whimper.
Matthews was a blathering moron. How the RNC allows Matthews to moderate the debate show have craven and spineless they are.
I can only hope one of the candidates has the intestinal fortitude to bring Matthews comments into the debate while answering a question
And if John Kerry had been President, or just about any modern day dem, we would all be speaking Russian and goostepping for the latest Stalinist dictator.
Little sissy chrissy.....the moonbats doormat.
Chris is not so much an immoderate moderator as he is a master baiter.
Otherwise, viewers should just change the channel.
Well, my choices are clear.
The first Republican candidate up in the debate should announce something like the following:
“We should note that all the Republican candidates have shown for this debate moderated by MSNBC, unlike the Democrat candidates who were afraid of a debate moderated by Fox News.”
just imagine Reagan with this opportunity.He would be prepared and would let off soundbites that would live in infamy.........
More to the point, why should potential voters expect Matthews to treat the candidates' views fairly?By engaging in this sort of intemperate rhetoric, Matthews has effectively disqualified himself as an "honest broker" for this coming debate.
NBC needs to replace him as a debate moderator immediately. The job - by definition - requires an attempt to display objectivity going into an event.
Yes, the distinction between "objective journalist" and "opinion-maker" in recent years has been blurred to the point where they're nearly indistinguishable. But Matthews' comments obliterated any possible distinction.
Earlier this year, the Democratic presidential candidates refused to participate in a debate on Fox News on the grounds that the channel was "biased." That's baloney, of course - certainly the debate wasn't going to be moderated by Fox's prime-time opinion hosts.
I expect that Matthews will shoot 75% of the questions at the top tier and totally ignore the other candidates as usual. I wish that all the candidates would refuse to appear with Chris Matthews.
McCain will love having Matthews moderate the debate, since Matthews is part of his political base.
Chris, that a positively stupid question. I know you are a Democrat Activist with a long history of working for the DNC, but try to pretend you actually are a journalist for the rest of this debate and ask some serious questions. Instead of asking 50 stupid questions about abortion, how about one of you Democrat activists pretending to be "journalists" ask the Democrat Candidates to answer ONE question about Abortion.
Tipsy O’Neill taught Chrissie how to drink....unfortunately he croaked before he could teach him how to stop.
Chrissy is in love with the Clintons. In his interview with Jon Stewart the part that got past alot of people was his endorsement of Bill Clintons bedding women techniques.
Chris Matthews: Can I give you one example of the truth here? Bill Clinton, when he was in college, would get women, girls, in bed…
Jon Stewart: Not just in college.
Chris Matthews:: … by listening. He listened to them. When friends of his couldn’t get the girls, he’d tell them ‘you gotta listen to them.’ I thought, growing up, that you drank beer and you bragged. But he says, you have to listen to them – it’s flattering. And it works.
Jon Stewart: It works if you care what they’re saying. But politicians often listen, but it’s a contrivance.
Oh yeah...lets applaud that...
Chris Matthews is a souless Clinton love fester.
It would be appropriate if one of the Republican candidates took 30 seconds to point out that whereas the democrat candidates refused to debate on Fox, the Republican candidates allowed a moderator who was part of a democrat administration and who recently alluded to the criminality of the current administration. That would be accurate, and would set the proper tone for the viewers.
