Wow. That Matthews is a sly dude.

He gave Bachmann “enough rope to hang herself”.

She did.

Joe McCarthy was trapped by spineless talk show journalists as well… time after time after time… in his own mind.

Doesn’t accept responsibility for her own words. It’s Chris’ fault.

Why does not rightwing nutjob Republican ever accept responsibility for anything?

Why do the Republicans continually use “the dog ate my homework” defense when ever caught in a lie or crime?

Republicans are NOT the party of personal integrity nor personal responsibility.

Michele Bachmann has been on Chris’s show many times. She is on Larry King all the time lately. She always says stupid things, this is nothing new. She talks over everyone, she is a PITA.

LOL . . . what a total doofus! Apparently Mz. Bachman has no control over her own mind. Her vacuous expression proves that.

soooo, botox beyotch bachmann had NO idea…the name “hardball” didn’t give her a clue. The only trap this skank walked into is appearing on a show where the viewers didn’t share the same disgusting point of view as herself and she got called to the carpet for it.

Don’t these morons in DC ever take responsibility for what they say. What is this nonsense of her being trapped. I watched that interview in real time and was appalled at her attacks on points of view contrary to the Republi-con Party as un-American and I am sick and tired of these mental midgets
using the term un-patriotic as Israel uses the term anti-semite. We do not live in a theocracy and disagreements with Government policies does not make you Anti-American. Besides, isn’t Michele Bachman the twit that fawned and gushed all over George “The Emperor With No Clothes” Bush at the SOTU address when he outright lied to America to send us to war.
Hey twit, why isn’t that Un-American!!!

Q U E S T I O N:http:
If Chris Matthews was distorting missing links to Patriotism and anti-Americanism, then why didn’t she correct Chris at that moment instead of play along…
… Because she believed it on some level?

I’m kind of pissed off at Michele Bachmann. She caused me to spend a grand on her opponent, some guy named Tinkleberry or something like that. There goes the kid’s new shoes, the case of whisky, and the gross of condoms. Magnums, so you know.

You’d think if you’re going to be pretty much batshite crazy, you could at least have courage in your convictions.

Probably watching your opponent raise a cool Mill in 5 days might have had some impact on her ‘lack of conviction’.

Assuming she and Mean Jean and the Boner all get re-elected, won’t it be fun to watch their collective heads explode when they are constantly in the minority and all they can do is throw tantrums and cry?

Will make C-SPAN the No. 1 comedy channel!

Chris Matthews calling out the guy shouting ‘appeaser’ who had absolutely no idea what appeasement was. That was awesome.

Knowing the definition of ‘appeasement’ does not qualify one as a “heavy-weight pundit”…except in the USofA…

Token,

check out the clip on youtube. It was brilliant. This twit was shouting that Obama was an appeaser and that he no different than Neville and Matthews completely called him on it… with follow up.

I’m by no means a Matthews fan, but it was refreshing to see a talking points factory taken down a few pegs. It’s the type of thing that should happen more often.

Mathews may have used the phrase, but she picked it up with gusto and ran with it.

This is what Republicans do though, they take a meaningless word or phrase (and never both to define it) and then blather about the mouth with it relentlessly.

It’s all bluster and no substance. That’s exactly what she did here. I kept thinking, ‘what are these anti-American views? what are they?’

It’s obvious that the trap is located in her head and it’s clogged. Nothing in her thoughts that a good flushing won’t cure. Good luck keeping your job.

The country’s come a ways since the days of McCarthy and HUAC. Those were rip-roaring days for the fascists, I know. You’ll be very lucky to retain your seat, Michelle.

What is most unsettling is that you could write the script a la Barack Obama (the race baiter) who pointed out the republicans would be doing exactly what they are doing right now.

The blaspheme is always followed by an assertion they said what they meant, which is usually followed by a denial and always by a non-apology or excuse.

The tactic is transparent. I hope this election seals it for the republicans. They’re in a corner and lurching at any and everyone. This while most American are trying to figure what’s for dinner, not having the luxury to watch the Jerry Springer madness.
