MSNBC, the place for left-wing politics strikes again.
If there ever was a textbook example of what not to do in a TV interview for broadcast journalism students, "Hardball" host Chris Matthews put it on display during his Aug. 10 show. In a segment with Americans For Prosperity President Tim Phillips, Matthews did his dead-level best to discredit the opponent of Obama's health care policy proposals, first by trying to link him to those questioning Obama's presidency on the claims of an invalid birth certificate.

I would have never seen this if you had not pointed it out.
A guest with a conservative tilt should know that when going on an MSNBC show that:
1)You will be treated like garbage
2)Your message will not be heard by actual people until it is distributed on Freerepublic.
Chrissy has every reason the be mad. His Nielson rating is TANKING:

Chris Matthews: “My Job Is To Make Obama Presidency a Success”
Mr Matthews will lie through his teeth to accomplish his stated goal.
I wonder how often Matthews breaks out the knee pads for Obama. He’s Obama’s Lewinsky.
The once proud NBC Peacock keeps falling of its perch and flopping all over every program they have. The falling and flopping are due to one thing. It only has one wing left, a left one. They are as scornful of the average American as Nancy Pelosi and Steny Hoyer.
Matthews is an ass. Period.
Chrissy would look appropriate in a Nazi SS officer uniform, considering how he treated this guy.

Matthews is the media equivalent of the SEIU union thugs. Only bolder and more arrogant, since he knows folks can’t hit him back.
Tingles is an epic failure. He’s almost single handedly brought NBC to their knees. Of course, since he likes being on his knees in front of the annointed one I’m sure this putz doesn’t mind.
They don’t understand, they just don’t get it. The revolution will not be fought by the media class conservatives but the people with nothing to lose.
Why would any human being with a shred of decency and self respect go on Obama’s lapdog show?
You can always tell when Matthews is losing the issue. He behaves like this. I hope he keeps it up. The more he acts like this, the less people watch. Pretty soon MSNBC hosts will be talking amongst themselves with no viewers.
I was channel surfing the other night, and turned on “Hairball” just long enough to hear Prissy Chrissy preview the next segment, in which he was questioning whether or not the people opposing Obamacare are really motivated by racism. Needless to say, I continued on, and did not bother watching the segment.
I believe in the Nancy Pelosi standard that Chrissy is Un-American for shouting down his guests.
He hasnt had that duel with Zell Miller yet.
