Chris Matthew Says He Voted For Bush

[HPLeft]

He just told Luntz on the air.

I'm going to throw up now. Tip O'Neal is turning over in his grave.

[Classical_Liberal]

1. I'm not surprised

.

[bluedog]

2. I though I heard that

I thought he was a Democrat? What a weasel.....no wonder hes cuts the Democrats down all the time....

[rucky]

5. I've heard him say he was Independent

so i guess you have to ask people who tout the "independent" label if they mean Wes Clark independent or Chris Matthews independent.

Nobody better respond with 'what's the difference?' cuz I'm not buying it.

[catforclark2004]

34. Matthews is a mediawhore....a lifelong democrat, no less

[mlawson]

3. I'm glad he said it.

This should help the Dems next year! :-)

[hlthe2b]

4. Can you please put that in context?

(On edit: NEVER MIND! I realize I misread your post...)
Why did he tell Luntz he was going to throw up and that Tip was turning over ....?

[HPLeft]

7. That was me

I am the one throwing up!

[Yupster]

45. And Tip's the one spinning in his grave

Good to see everyone active on a Friday night.

[incapsulated]

6. I am shocked!!

Shocked I tell you!

[FarLeftRage]

8. Of course the asshole did

tweety is a slimeball of a quisling of the highest order!

[Richardo]

9. God - why would anyone admit that NOW?

Something of the masochist, methinks.

[PROGRESSIVE1]

10. What brought this subject up????

please answer

[HPLeft]

16. Luntz was talking about 2004 Election

Don't quite remember how they got there, but Matthews mentioned that he had voted for Republicans plenty of times, and then he let loose his dirty little secret.

Makes sense now. After 9/11, I remember an exchange where Matthews was sucking up to somebody, and he mentioned how badly Al Gore would have handled the aftermath of 9/11, and how arrogant he was, and how great a job Dubya had done, etc. Matthew was never more wrong than at that moment, but I always thought of him as a Democrat.

I just turned the TV off. I'm not gonna watch that show any more. We need a liberal cable TV network.

[Cha]

19. And I think we're going to get "a Liberal cable TV network"..

from Al Gore, no less! How's that for Kismet?! :kick:

[PROGRESSIVE1]

20. True!!! He and some investment banker freinds are...

most likely going to buy "News World International" from Vivendi/Universal!

[Starpass]

11. Been waiting for a Matthews thread

apparently this pig has been put in charge of election coverage, lead up, propaganda, you name it for '04. Just look at the positive fucking bullshit we are seeing in this Arnold thing--it's just like a replay of Bush 2000 where they had to make up crap and Bush this lame bastard down everyone's throat. When I saw him do this with scum Arnold, I KNOW what the hell we are in for with this bastard in '04. I tell you if the numbers at that time are Bush 10% and Dem 90%, this bastard will piss on our candidate 24/7. Please don't listen to him. Please let his numbers fall further. Let him go to Fox where he belongs---this guy is not only a loser, he's a two faced fucker. He writes one way in his column in San Francisco and whores the other way on national tv. Besides his love for macho men tells me he really has "issues with women". He's a pathetic loser.

[The Backlash Cometh]

18. Pat Caddell is probably the same kind of mole.

Con men, the both of them.

[catforclark2004]

35. Don't forget the Repug Operative/polster Frank luntz...huh!

They never say Republican polster when he has his "focus Group" shows....it's always....Polster, Yeah, Right!

[qanda]

38. No less than 10 minutes of a commercial

For Arnold tonight on Hardball. It will be a shame if he is the one to do the coverage for the presidential election.

[KittyWampus]

12. How Is This Appropriate?

Shouldn't he at least TRY to appear non partisan and objective as a JOURNALIST?

[mhr]

13. Outlaw Journalists From Voting, I Say!

eom

[madmax]

14. Gee what a shock

During campaign 2000 he did and said everything he possibly could to smear Gore and elevate the empty suit. He was never fair to Gore. I detest him.

[KittyWampus]

15. Dupe

[The Backlash Cometh]

17. Conflict of interest -- BIG TIME

I'll never forget how he used his position on Hardball to bash Gore before the 2000 election. These worthless pundits should declare their true political leanings before they're allowed to destroy elections with their partisan politics.

AND MATTHEWS HAD THE AUDACITY TO CRY ON TELEVISION! WHAT A BASTARD!

[Liberator_Rev]

21. He's been a lying quisling for years.

The only thing Democratic about him was his PAST, and they kept putting that out to mislead Democrats into trusting him. I've hardly ever heard him take the Liberal position and sometimes I wonder if he did it only often enough to keep up the pretense.

P.S. He's not a reporter, he's a commentator and as such, I believe they all ought to be required to WEAR A UNIFORM, like official combatants, showing which side they are fighting for.

[dd123]

22. Hey, maybe he can run for the Dem nomination now.

haha

[buff2]

23. *Yawn*

:boring:

[catforclark2004]

37. He is already a life long Dem......that make him worthy

of your support, I suppose.

[David Zephyr]

24. It Was Never A Question. He Called Al Gore "An Idiot"

during the recount.

That's why I cut this jerk no slack.

He's an ignorant ass who time has passed by.

[grasswire]

27. Tweety has a contract...

....to head up election coverage through 2006!

So it will be Noonan, Caddell, Fineman, yadda yadda yadda.......world without end amen.

His ratings are bad, anyway.

[David Zephyr]

29. The "Former Democratic Pollster, Caddell"

I wonder if Caddell has seen a bar of soap since his days in the Carter White House.

It is such rib-splitting riot to watch how Tweety, in charity, calls Caddell a Democratic Pollster.

Caddell wears a roach motel around his neck.

[PROGRESSIVE1]

42. I agree!!!!!!

Tweety deserves "jack shit" in sympathy from we DUers!!!!

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

25. ...and plans to do so again.

[leftofthedial]

26. gee and I just thought he buried his nose in Bush's ass

I NEVER thought he'd VOTE for him!

[gasperc]

28. What a fuck wad

I hope he drops dead

[KittyWampus]

30. Woah! That's Kind Of Harsh

777

[West Coast Democrat]

31. Of course he's a Bush*-Supporter

There's no way a person could watch the show more than once, and not figure that out!

[onecitizen]

32. OOOOOoooooo now..........

there's a real shocker.

[VOX]

33. How idiotic is this? *Real* journalists just don't do this!

Good God, have we sunk this low? This is the mark of a rank amateur, or perhaps someone whose sanity is slipping off the tether.

Can you imagine David Brinkley, Chet Huntley, Walter Cronkite, or for that matter, Tom Brokaw or Peter Jennings bringing up *their* votes?

Flabbergasting.

[quaker bill]

36. Tweety is a conservative

I rather noticed. He books the Coultergiest every week or so. Is this supposed to be news?

[PaDUer]

39. Is Matthews PROUD

that he voted for this monster administration!!

[UTUSN]

40. But We Still Have Tweezer Defenders HERE! n/t

[UTUSN]

41. Have I Told Chris MATTHEWS Lately That IHATE Him????? n/t

[eleny]

43. He must have had a sip of the Repblikan kool aid

So, he's blown his own cover. Now, he can't say a word against the Dems without his progressive guests calling him on it.

What a week!

[PROGRESSIVE1]

44. I do not care what others thing eleny, anytime a Democrat...

is on his little show (less than 250,000 viewers)and Tweety attacks the Dem's they should bring it out that he supports the Bush Crime Family!

Attack his integrity with that! It WILL work!!!!

[eleny]

46. I agree!

They should call him on it relentlessly until he's totally irrelevant!
