If we write enough letters can we get Chris Matthews fired?

[maxrandb]

"Yeah, it was a bunch of lies, corny bullshit, appeals to racism, authoritarianism and fascism, but the people where I come from will like this speech"

I'm paraphrasing, but that was basically Matthews "hot take".

Maybe it's time for him to go back to that "place he is from".

[dchill]

1. For a Dem, he's pretty Old White Guy.

[maxrandb]

4. He fits in more with the fat Retrumplican clapping like a seal with money bulging out of his pocket

then he does with the American people

[BlueIdaho]

2. He's got a hard-on

For demagogues and dictators...

[Wellstone ruled]

3. Understand he was hired

on at NBC by Roger Alies when he was their Guru.

[evertonfc]

5. hell

He may be right

[Laura PourMeADrink]

15. Of course he is ! WTH is anyone getting upset about!

[doc03]

29. He is right about the people in these parts nt

[Me.]

6. Who Are The Regular People He's Always Referencing?

[dchill]

8. Other Old White Guys.

[rzemanfl]

7. K&R.

All I was able to come up with was my "Fuck Tweety" post.

[bdamomma]

9. Again

we have just plunged into a very dark part of history. Talk to any German person they will the see the same situation that they saw in the 1930's with the rise if Hitler.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

10. Maybe if people stopped watching this self important dickbag, he'd go away. nt

[Laura PourMeADrink]

17. I really like him. 100% more knowledge than most on TV.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

26. I'm sure he'd agree with that statement. Me, I just remember him being an

endless gasbag during the bush years. He makes really weird, downright creepy comments all the time. But I did like how Jon Stewart handled him back in the day. Haven't watched this guy in years. But given what I read here from time to time. It seems like he ain't gotten any better.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

36. Yikes. Hold something against someone forever. He's been

an advocate for many years now. Jon Stewart? The guy who walked out on us?

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

40. I have a good memory. And he's left quite a trail of stupid ass comments. What the

shit was that comment about getting his "Bill Cosby pill" or something like that. Before sitting down with Hillary Clinton?
He's forever talking about "the common man", who I'm sure he hangs out with constantly..... So you like the guy. Good for you. That's your business.
And Jon Stewart doesn't owe Jack shit to anyone but he's family. He was a comedian who had a comedy show owned by a private corporation. He did it well and decided to go do something else with his life. So what?

[Laura PourMeADrink]

42. Right...adore the guy who walked out and diss the Democratic

advocate who through all his illness shows up and pushes our causes. Brilliant!

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

43. Adore the guy? Do you posses basic reading comprehension? He's

a comedian and he was funny. He retired, or whatever. Who gives a fuck? It's his business. He ain't your daddy. I'm not the one putting these people on pedestals.

You like that rape joking "we're all neocons now" douchebag. Great! Knock yourself out. Does everyone else need to kiss his ass too? I guess I don't see why you get all butthurt and melodramatic over this.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

44. Ah.

Now I get it

[NoMoreRepugs]

11. Someone post the address - my fingers are ready

to type.

[Loki Liesmith]

12. he is always wrong

If he ever knew anything, he's forgotten it. I wouldn't worry about him.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

18. That bullshit. He knows more about history than anyone and

What he says is 100% true

[lunatica]

23. I agree with you

He knows Washington DC as much as any official historian. He know politics so sometimes he says things people don’t want to hear.

[Loki Liesmith]

33. He's gotten increasingly dopey

And he runs on conventional wisdom from the late 80s. He’s a useless wart on the ass of life.

[Loki Liesmith]

35. Lol ok chief

[Hoyt]

13. He's criticizing the people where I live too. That is apt description of situation.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

37. Exactly. Truth on both sides! Guess people who

Don't like what he said live in some bright blue enclave.

[PCIntern]

14. No thanks

He’s from Philly. We have enough assholes here.

[tishaLA]

19. Well, that's the thing. The folks in NE Philly he's talking about

probably will like the speech, whether we think it's the worst thing in the world or not. Same with a large portion of South Philly. For whatever reason, they're feuded enough to believe tRump is doing something positive for them--and we need to make a dent in that.

[maxrandb]

16. Someone on CBS just said

"The President gave a very restrained speech"

Fuck him too

[tishaLA]

20. WHAT? Tweety's comment I can understand, but that?

That's insane.

[lunatica]

24. That's because he wasn't raving, making childish faces, waving his arms like an accordion,

or inventing new words.

[UniteFightBack]

21. Plenty of people cheering this crap tonight so not sure what you're so mad about. nt

[OliverQ]

22. Matthews, Mitchell, and Todd all need to be fired from MSNBC.

We need more Maddow, Lawrence, Hayes, and Wallace.

[TeamPooka]

25. Taylor says....

[kskiska]

27. If I remember correctly

W made his leg tingle.

[RestoreAmerica2020]

28. I fired him a long time ago--just stopped watching, es facil--it's that easy!

[elleng]

30. born in Philadelphia

[UTUSN]

31. HAH!1 If that worked, I would have had it done years ago!1

32. He needs to be put to pasture

Always buys into that fake macho bullshit.

[LisaM]

34. I can't watch any of the post game show.

First Mayor Pete doing a campaign speech (I can kind of live with that), then Karnecki's nonsense, then Tlaib complaining about divisiveness (after what she did the other day?), so I go to CNN and it's Santorum and Axelrod talking over each other, then back to Tlaib.

[WhiteTara]

38. Mr WT thought he had a brilliant

speechwriter and that he would win the next election with this. I couldn't watch.

[MerryBlooms]

39. Didn't need to watch the orange assface throw his usual tantrum, and the

usual suspects declare it a win for orange assface. Meh.

This week will be filled with real news. Watch the buried 'headlines' at the bottom of every major network page for the real news. republicans and trump dirty deals going on daily without any top headlines or discussion on the talking head shows.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

41. I think he's paying MSNBC to let him stay on the air.

Either that or he's blackmailing the program director.

[radius777]

45. Chris speaks uncomfortable truths,

that has always been his brand, and about trying to see how the typical non-ideogical voter would see things.

Keep in mind that Chris strongly dislikes Trump and supports the impeachment.

Trump is a showman and his carnival act really does fool alot of people - what someone like Chris who knows politics is fearful of, that Dems will do their 'fact check' thing missing the fact that politics is about perception and emotion more than logic.

[Scotch-Irish]

46. He had a bad man crush on George W. Bush.

He was a true tool in those days.

[ibegurpard]

47. How would he know?

I don't think he's ever let anyone make a statement uninterrupted

[arthritisR_US]

48. Worth a try!
