No, I think Chrissy Tingle secretly has the hots for Michelle Bachmann.

There are two inconsequential nobodies I wish we could learn to ignore. The other is Bill Maher.

They exist only because they outrage us - let em both go bark at the moon. Means nothin'.

They go after anyone who dares to dress down their weak leader. They can’t stand anyone - especially a woman - making obama look like the wimpy, inept leader that he is.

I guess we never would have freed the slaves if Chrissie Matthews hadn’t taken charge!

Thank you, Chrissie, you deserve the Nobel Peace Prize for all your efforts on behalf of America’s slaves!

Uh, what’s that you say? Some kind of problem with the time line?

I know I am in danger of lending credibility to Matthews and others by making a serious rebuttal to his rant, so please forgive me. However, slavery was a dying institution when the Constitution was ratified, mainly because of all the useless mouths the plantation owner had to take care for. That is right; slavery mandated cradle to grave welfare. For that reason “poor whites” of the South often viewed slavery with envy, because a minimum material security was guaranteed.

One unexamined fact, by him and others who are attracted to attacking our Founding Fathers, is that the cotton gin was invented after the Constitution was ratified. The passage where a slave is counted as 60% of a person is contradicted by everything else found in the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. Slavery was doomed to extinction in 1788, (making the compromise much more reasonable) because the institution was not economically viable at the time. Eli Whitney made slavery pay and made cotton king.

Consider just two examples of how people rely upon premeditated ignorance of historic fact to denigrate George Washington and others. In Washington's case, he was ostracized by many other plantation owners for treating slaves as human beings, because he always tipped his hat before them and answered their greetings. He also refused to allow the typical plantation owner hospitality of inviting a male guest to review the young women in slave quarters to choose which one he would take to his quarters and rape that evening.

People like Matthews are wrong. George Washington did work tirelessly. Matthews and others demonstrate the comic book understanding of slavery now popular.

Mr. Tingles has morphed into a caricature of himself. He’s like an over-the-top comic actor like the Ted Baxter newscaster in the old Mary Tyler Moore show or John Cleese (?) in Monty Python and Fawlty Towers. Clown, buffoon, carnival barker. . . . I guess that’s the ticket for Left Wing punditry success.

Has anyone NOT noticed the size of the cow head on this drooling, bloviating idiot?

Yet he has the temerity to call Michelle Bachman “Balloonhead”!

Matthews’ role as the fountainhead for the Left puts forth his daily screed of insults as if it were their daily bread. He would fail in his purpose, if he didn’t quench their appetite for the defamation of the Right. Of course such a role is easy money for Matthews. It is an easy thing to fill ignorant minds with pap; especially those who live in a fantasy world on an unicorn farm.
