Matthews

The man is so psychotic. Everything out of his mouth is complete garbage

Get some sleep, guys

Scarborough and Matthews are babbling like they've been up for 48 straight hours. What a bunch of nonsense.

Sounds To Me...

Like Haggard isn't the only meth freak. I think both Scarborough and Matthews might be dipping into Haggard's stash.

ACTUALLY

The sad and scary things is that they usually always babble like they've been up for forty-eight hours straight. A lot of the time it sounds like they've been up for forty-eight years straight. With no bathroom breaks. And they usually look like it as well.

Does anything ever 'stick' with Matthews?

I mean, he'll babble on and on, and occasionally make a good point, and then five minutes later he'll completely contradict himself.

Does anything ever connect in a cohesive way with him, or is he just constantly and always talking off the top of his head? It would be OK if he were thinking out loud, but I don't think that's the word for it.

Unthreatening

Are these guys for real?

If Scarbourough

were to go back to school, possibly study some theory, experience a little outside of the circle that makes him comfortable, I think he could change for the better. That is saying a lot because for many of the NEOCON mouthpieces, I think it is too late.

For instance,

SCARBOROUGH: I like Harold Ford so much. He reached across the aisle. He was a moderate man. I think he's got a real future in the Democratic Party. But I was thinking when he got off of that bus and he challenged Corker and he got in his face, I thought, "Oh, my God, Harold, you're going to cost yourself the race" because white voters who were trying to put 100 or 200 years of prejudice behind them are going to be offended by that. And I don't think that's oversimplifying.

Scarborough clearly demonstrates that he understands white (racist ones, not all white) voters by knowing that a black man will always come off appearing threatening if he asserts himself, even though that type of assertion from a white counterpart will be deemed assertive (good) if from someone like Trent Lott. However, where Scarborough goes wrong and loses the moral high ground is refusing to see how regardless if that is the way the white voter sees it, it is racist and should be discouraged by pointing it out.

Other Neocons are not even able to bring the thought to a conscious level, they simply react on the knee jerk. The way Matthews does here:

Americans want distance from each other. We're not like Arabic people that talk into each other's faces so you know what they had for dinner. We don't talk like that. We want two to three feet from the other guy.

He, by instinct goes from America's desire for space (more like the desire to invade space, see SUVs) to insulting Arabics.

Interesting insight.

Scarborough actually seems to think about stuff, despite remaining a voice for his party.

I sometimes think that Matthews, on the other hand, displays all the symtoms of both schizophrnia (split off from reality) and multiple-personality disorder. Between the conditions, who could possibly know what he really thinks? I"m thinking that maybe one of his personalities is schizophrenic...

Just joking. A minor in psychology 37 years ago is hardly the basis for a reasoned opinion...

You are probably right

"I"m thinking that maybe one of his personalities is schizophrenic..."

I went back and read every single word so I would not miss anything (again). Matthews flips back and forth, grabbing allusions here, throwing them around there.

He does seem schizophrenic.

How the camera people's eyes must roll.

SADLY

they are.

Shocked

I just can't believe Mathews is ignoring the issues and basing his endorsement on the candidates' body language. It's just so unlike his usual cerebral self.

It's because he just attended

the Rush Limbaugh School of Impressionistic Body Language Journalism.

rats

"School OF Journalism."

A-holes

"damn ethnic -- unthreatening, which a lot of white voters like to see from an African-American"

=========================================

What a racist piece of BS and from the color blind Republicans. This illustrates that the rules are different for Blacks. The Republican Party is chocked full of mean-spirited in your face bullies and they're considered tough, if Black politicians act like this then they are considered threatening. I can't even believe that Chris Mattews formed his lips to say this racist BS.

I Agree Lynn

Why does Chris Matthews get to speak for what "white voters" want? Categorizing people based on color is utterly ridiculous.

Wow

I totally skipped passed that, I was so focused on Scarbourough. WOW! And I thought the part that Matthews compared Americas of invading space to Arabics bad. That phrase is just plain racist (open and shut). Yet who will call him on it?

It makes me think of all the black males that were used on sitcoms. Always the non threatening type, Steve Irkel, Gary Coleman (he was small), Webster (he was small)........

He

definetly let you see into his soul with these statements. Chris Matthews seemed quite fund of the bully Tom Delay who was essentially the king of a Republican legislative crime ring.

Oh,

the inanity.

Whatever Chris...

"He's so -- I hate to say this because this sounds so damn ethnic -- unthreatening, which a lot of white voters like to see from an African-American."...Chris Matthews

No Chris it sounds SO damn racist.

J2 - THANK you!

I couldn't put my finger on what sounded so weird about Tweety's construction there. I think you're right - he meant to say "racist" instead of "ethnic."

Chris Matthews

I lived in the state of Maryland, I did not vote for Steele, and Chris Matthews is full of BS
