Rachel Maddow Says Chris Matthews Isn't Liberal, 'He'd Get Torn Apart' by Air America Fans

Long-time CBS correspondent Lesley Stahl interviewed radical MSNBC host Rachel Maddow for the website Wow-o-wow.com and Maddow demonstrated her ultraliberalism by denying Chris Matthews was a liberal (just a "Democrat"), and insisting "If Chris Matthews had an Air America radio show, he’d get torn apart by our listeners...I wouldn’t put Chris and my politics in the same canoe. "

While Stahl insisted that MSNBC is trying to be the "un-Fox network," Maddow claimed it’s not really liberal, it’s just trying to "find hit shows."

The first element necessary to be a liberal: conceit
second element: foolishness
third: hatred

I tried to listen to this lightweight uber liberal one evening this past week. I could only take 90 seconds.

Basically saying that Chris Matthews is an old school liberal. Not pure enough for the marxists rabble.

That’s exactly what it means.

“Torn apart by Air America fans?” Both of them?

I would say Chrissie is a liberal and Rachel is a hardcore leftist.

Hissy is a hardcore liberal with nothing but sympathy for the leftists, witness his weak interview with Ayers.

You are right about the latter, probably a Maoist or some other “pure” strain of marxism. If someone looked into it I’m sure they would get the answer.

Rachel Maddow: "Hey, I’m a national talk radio Show." And it was like they couldn’t contain their laughter at the press office in trying to be polite to me in responding and telling me that they’re sorry, but they were all booked up.

This is the funniest thing I've read today. Yeah, Air America, 12 listeners in 8 states, that's national.

People wouldn't even know who she is if not for MSNBC, oh wait, they still don't know who she is. Oh, man, I'm killing myself.

OK, no one knew who she was till she was parodied on Saturday Night Live. I guess most people still don't know.

She’s wrong on both counts

I believe Chris Matthews is just a garden variety idiot. I hear he’s on TV, but I’ve never had the misfortune of actually seeing him on it.

"If Chris Matthews had an Air America radio show..."

...he could cut his audience in half, to 13 people.

And he could whine in stereo.

He's a girl; she's a girl, er,...I mean a man, er...I mean androgenous.

He's stupid; she's a moron

He wears panties; she wears Jockey Briefs??

He's a leftist; she a leftist

He's on a pathetic cable channel; she's just plain pathetic

He's a homo; she's a homo.

I don't know, I think they are sharing that canoe.

She’s right. Matthews is not a liberal. He’s a hair-on-fire, bed wetting, namby pamby, wearing women’s panties, girly girl, flame throwing, left wing, die-hard socialist. But, he’s definitely not a liberal.
