She said he wanted to "eliminate insurance companies" in America.

In fact he has done the opposite. He has been condemned here at DU for wanting private policies to be alongside public ones.

Note to Democratic leaders. When you send out your little attack dogs, don't give them talking points that are lies.

1. Landrieu is a pathetic excuse for a woman

[madfloridian]

2. She lied and Chris let her.

[stlsaxman]

6. no- she a pathetic excuse for a human being.

[debbierlus]

9. That too!

[valerief]

3. Landrieu hates America. nt

[madfloridian]

4. Please note that Chris did not correct her.

In fact he let her talk over Dean in an insulting manner.

I have reached a new point now as a Democrat. I don't tolerate lies very well.

[debbierlus]

8. I know! I was watching the whole sorry spectacle earlier!

Chris was a complete idiot tonight. He was rude to Dean even before he brought on Landrieu.

5. You know how to tell if a blue dog is lying?

They're lips are moving.

7. I just saw this about 30 seconds ago

For whatever reason, Chris seemed to give her a pass. Mathews cut off Howard Dean when he was beginning to tear Landrieu apart. I think he should have continued this segment to the break. I could tell Dean was going to shred her and expose her for the phony she is.

Progressives, we have to work hard (regardless of our state) to support and help get true progressives elected in the primaries. These blue dogs need to be put to sleep; we can't let them go unpunished. They are in the way of the change we need.

10. It was infuriating, and she owes him an apology for lying.

[Enrique]

13. Tweety has said he admires her

admires her and other dems in red states, admires them for putting up with the crap they get from the left. He doesn't care if they come on his show and lie in his face.

[Don Draper]

16. Usually I like Chris Mathews, but this time he was being a dick

It was clear he was favoring Landrieu over Dean.

With Democrats like Landrieu, who needs Republicans?

[madfloridian]

17. I only watched tonight because Dean was on.

I don't watch Hardball anymore. He is too annoying.

[julian09]

20. Hardball is reduced to Palin speculation

I know Cris thinks he's Mr cnbc, but he is the first one that should go, along with the daytime airheads. KEEP Rachel, Keith, Scarborough, Andrea, Madigan, ED Schultz.

[avaistheone1]

11. I trust Dean. Not Landrieu.

[fascisthunter]

12. I Wonder How Much the Insurance Industry Paid Landrieu

[Mithreal]

14. "talking points that are lies" - worked for true Republicans

[madfloridian]

15. Here are some past Dean statements on public option

http://journals.democraticunderground.com/madfloridian/4452

"ESQ: But isn't that a threat to the insurance companies? Especially at a time when we want to keep businesses healthy and people employed?

HD: This is one of the many problems the Senate is now having. They are focused on anything but the American people. But the insurance companies will be fine. It won't happen overnight, and they'll make plenty of money. But this is not a matter of making the insurance companies happy. This is a matter of making the 72 percent of the people who want a public option happy, including the 50 percent of Republicans who want a public option.

ESQ: Fifty percent of Republicans want a public option?

HD: Yeah. That's in a Kaiser poll and in a New York Times/CBS poll last week. The Senate is in the process of self-destructing. They are talking about managing health-care reform to make sure that a relatively small sliver of American industry is satisfied at the expense of 72 percent of their constituents. That's unbelievable."

Much more at the link.

18. Kudos to Keith O and O'Donnell on Countdown for defending Dean

They did a good job of it.

[hulka38]

19. Man, we need honest people in office. That's the bottom line. I don't care if they have a "D"

behind their name.

[Jefferson23]

21. Oh this is rich, it's ok to bash the truth as she does, fuck her.

[madfloridian]

22. Kick for a lie.

23. K & R

24. Dropping too fast. Lies matter. Big lies matter most.
