Matthews Disses Dittoheads: 'Manipulable'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Dittoheads, you've been dissed. Chris Matthews has dismissed you as a bunch of mind-numbed robots. CNBC's John Harwood seconded the insult. It happened on this evening's Hardball as Matthews mused about the potential impact of Operation Chaos on the upcoming primaries.

CHRIS MATTHEWS: How much of a move do you hear, John Harwood, the so-called Operation Chaos is going to play next Tuesday in Indianapolis [sic], the effort by Rush Limbaugh, the lovable Rush Limbaugh, I must say, to encourage Republicans, registered Republicans, to go vote for Hillary just to cause chaos and perhaps get her the nomination? How big a role will that be?

JOHN HARWOOD: My suspicion, Chris, is that's a lot more talk than action. I think there aren't that many voters who can be manipulated in that way to go make trouble in a primary election. And one of the things that's striking--

MATTHEWS: But when you call yourself a "dittohead," it seems to me you've already defined yourself as someone who is, uh, let's put it this way—manipulable.

I hate to say it, but looking at all the Freepers who are doing their best to ignore the growing evidence that Rush is, in fact, trying to throw the nomination (if not the election) to Hillary, I have to say that Matthews may actually be right about something for once.

How can someone be “dissed” if no one saw it? LOL

He’s probably jealous the Limbaugh’s audience is at least 40 times his own.

Naw, he’s wrong! I spoke once to a buncha sheep jumping over a cliff following their leader, and each and every one was convinced that he (or she) was an original thinker!

Awwww...little Chrissy seems upset about his widdle biddie hero’s self-inflicted political troubles - hope he still feels the tingling sensation Barack Hussein Obama induces in him.

I agree with you....Anyone who would change parties to vote for a skank like Hellary has to be crazy or just plain stupid...Screw that egomaniac Rush too!...If anything go for the jugglar and vote the Incubus from Hell out of office.....Send her and her rotten husband to hell where they come from!!!!

That's nonsense. Obama is still in the lead. As long as he is in the lead, he's the one we work against. If Hillary gets in the lead, then it's her turn.

Don't you get it? The media was giving that guy a free ride to the presidency before OC came along. Go Rush!

“growing evidence”

Repeated bashing of Rush is not evidence.

If you have evidence...put it out there.

I am voting for Obama next Tuesday.

Rush wants Hillary. He HATES McCain with a deep passion. He would rather have Hillary. He even said he doesn't know if he will vote for the Republican this year.

Some of us have brains and can see that Hillary is a lot harder to beat than Barak.

Chrissy actually guest hosted Rush's show once. It was quite a few years ago. I seem to remember he started off really emotional, sounding like he was on the verge of bawling about some issue,

His guest hosting shot was a train wreck and I don't think he was ever given another opportunity.

Chrissy is a lightweight political hack turned junk journalist.
