News on Chris Matthews’ Leg

As if it hasn’t been obvious for months, Chris Matthews declares that his job is help Barack Obama:

One of the highlights of this whole miserable election was watching Just Say No Deal’s Diane Mantouvalos tell Chris Matthews that his sexism towards Hillary was one reason she started JSND (at 4:15). She left him stuttering:

By the way, there’s a blog tracking Chris Matthews’ leg, called Chris Matthews’ Leg. Their motto is: “If his lower extremities feel something, you’ll hear it here first.”

Chris Matthews’ Leg already has the inside scoop from election night:

Barack Obama’s victory speech overstimulated the sensitive neuro-receptors in Chris Matthews’ lower left extremity and caused it to hum like a tuning fork.

The Leg couldn’t help feeling it had played a small role in making this historic night possible.

Yes, Chris, MSNBC and pretty much the entire broadcast news industry traded the last bits of their journalistic credibility in the bacchanal of fawning coverage. Sure, Matthews’ and Olbermann’s Bush-Derangement and over-the-top Obama water-carrying during the election made them a national punchline.

But as the nation’s union bosses, trial lawyers, grievance mongers, Israel haters, and global warming hysterics uncorked the champagne and prepared their legislative agendas–The Leg could be heard to whisper:

“Totally, worth it, man . . . totally worth it.”

Here’s the original Chris Matthews’ confession:

That first video is amazing. How this guy can still have a job is beyond me. A journalist? No. A stenographer.

Tweety is just vile.

Comment by medusa | 2008-11-07 10:44:35

I love the Chris Matthew’s leg website! He clearly has a man-crush on Bozo.

Diane was fabulous in that interview.

I’m proud to be PUMA and will remain so, no matter who stole the election.

Does matthews have the hots for obama or something? He is behaving more like a cheerleader than a journalist.

Comment by sarainitaly | 2008-11-07 08:45:41

it is so ridiculous! he can’t even contain his *adoration*.

I would be curious to know what Kathleen Matthews thinks about her husband’s infatuation with President Elect Precious. She has been, after all, a very accomplished and articulate journalist, something her husband certainly is not.

Well, there is prior evidence, ala Larry Sinclair!

Comment by RAG DOLL | 2008-11-07 09:28:21

Maybe Chris Matthews and Larry Sinclair can hook up. Larry knows what Obama likes so he could do the same stuff on Chris and make his leg really “Tingle”

 
 

Comment by georgiapeach | 2008-11-07 11:06:54

He had the man crush on Bush that caused him to describe him as “shining with sunny nobility”. Why should it come as a surprise that he has the hots for Obama?

 
 

Comment by SJ | 2008-11-07 08:41:53

Cant blame them they are correct, they picked a guy and they will support him no matter what, now the game is to make him into the best president the world has seen.

Unfortunately on the other side what do we have, a lost by McCain and the dumping on of Plain, calling her dump, a thief, uneducated and so on.

Where is McCain up to this morning has he come out and said anything in defense of Sarah no he has not he is busy waiting to get back into the Senate to bow down now to President Obama and agree with all that Obama says needs to be done.

Comment by Gerard McNedich | 2008-11-07 08:45:30

hey do you guys remember when Dear Leader chased Leiberman down in the senate and had him pushed up against the wall while he threatened him?

perhaps Mccain got a phone call or visit by one of Dear Leader’s chicago friends?

not that mccain would bow down to them…

Mccain is probably taking some much needed rest away from any sort of media…

i know i would if i was him…

a. hillary
b. mccain

america first!

I’d like to know what was said as well.

Comment by vjhinFla. | 2008-11-07 11:48:21

Speak of Leiberman… I read on one of the AP’s headline news bits that Harry Reid just may strip Joe of his Heading of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs committee. Citing that he doesn’t show enough support to the democratic party, and his support of John McCain. Why does this not surprise me either???

I apologise if this has already been posted and I am repeating this. In any case, I think the behavior of much of the democratic party has been just abominable. Goddess, we need reform so badly.. I have sincere doubts it won’t be coming anytime soon.

I think that Spitty Matthews is vying for a position in the Obama administration. The rumors have been flying that his MSNBCOBAMA contract will not be renewed.

Eww…hopefully not Press Secretary.

Comment by Arabella Trefoil | 2008-11-07 09:16:19

That’s the job he wants, all right.

 

Comment by Jackarooty | 2008-11-07 09:38:55

Well, Robert Gibbs has been given that assignment but can you imagine if Spitty was the PS? They would have to install a plexiglass shield with a wiper to protect the sitting press from his flying spittle.

Maybe he can get a job lifting the toilet seat for Barry.

 
 

Comment by Mary | 2008-11-07 10:00:21

Actually, the word is that Matthews wants to run for Senator in Pennsylvania , as a Democrat.

He knows he ripped his own shorts trashing Hillary during the primary with the very Pennsylvania voters he’ll need to win if he runs for Senator.

So he’s trying to recoup his “image” as a loyal Democrat supporting Obama.

But his only motivation, underneath all the other crap, is his own future in Democratic politics.

Can you IMAGINE Chris Matthews bloviating in the Senate?

Good GAWD

 

Comment by csuzeq | 2008-11-07 10:05:46

Obastard will fix that. He has to have his adoring tv station.

I did like Leno last night. He said the news channels are all different, you have to see which one shares your thoughts. He said “I like how FOX is covering Obama now. They start with Day One of America held hostage.” They should.

he’s looking for a position? I heard he’s got his knee pads ready and a stool under the desk at the oval office! LOL!

In China we have CCTV (China Central Television). Now I almost feel like I am watching UCTV (US central Television), where “reporters” cover/spin for their dear leader.

Comment by snosandy | 2008-11-07 10:51:22

My family may be moving to China in a few months. During a visit there last year I was on one tour where I felt “big brother” was watching our tour group (in Tiananmen Square, I think to make sure the guides didn’t talk about what happened there in 1989). It couldn’t be any worse living there than living under an Obama regime.

Comment by educatedwhitewoman | 2008-11-07 09:06:30

Really? Do we have a real journalist out there who might ask Chris Matthews about the following:

Let’s think about this. We now have a President-elect who trained ACORN agitators to harass banks to make risky home loans to low income minorities and also pressured Fannie & Freddie and their congressional supporters (like Obama who, in 3 short years, became the 2nd highest receipient of campaign donations from Fannie & Freddie) to force banks to make more and more of these risky subprime mortgages, leading to the mortgage meltdown and the current deep recession, and now Obama hires as his Chief of Staff a guy who oversaw Fannie & Freddie when the corruption, including cooking the books and multi-million dollar payouts to corrupt Fannie & Freddie executives was going down:

Emanuel Was Director Of Freddie Mac During Scandal
New Obama Chief of Staff, Others on Board, Missed “Red Flags” of Alleged Fraud Scheme
By BRIAN ROSS and RHONDA SCHWARTZ
November 7, 2008

President-elect Barack Obama’s newly appointed chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, served on the board of directors of the federal mortgage firm Freddie Mac at a time when scandal was brewing at the troubled agency and the board failed to spot “red flags,” according to government reports reviewed by ABCNews.com.

Comment by Wisewoman | 2008-11-07 17:17:54

Educatedwhitewoman. I am an AA female Hillary supporter. Not only did Obama train ACORN as you indicated, of all the people in the senate and house, he is most responsible for the Wall Street crash. You see in 1995 he and other attorneys (find his name on the linked document below) sued Citibank Bank of Chicago alleging discrimination in housing lending causing the bank to enter into a consent decree to give loans to low income people. Because it was a federal suit it had ramifications for all states. This caused president Clinton to enter into other consent decrees all over the country. BINGO. Defaults in this mortgage group occurred first with a ripple effect throughout the real estate industry culminating in the economic melt down on Wall Street. See link below:

A little longer clip of matthews saying: “I Want To Do Everything I Can To Make This…New Presidency Work”

Scar asks matthews if leaking Emanuel’s name to the press before Emanuel had accepted the CofS job shows a lack of discipline on the part of obama’s campaign. Then matthews says: “I Want To Do Everything I Can To Make This…New Presidency Work”

sure! there’s plenty he can do!

he can always assume that position with his kneepads under the desk.

he can give the O a massage while the O speaks unconditionally with ahmadinejad, or castro, or chavez, or putin.

he can carry the piss bucket while the O goes on vacation in Hawaii.

he can be Odinga’s machete sharpner if the O visits his homeland in Kenya or he can give the O’s destitute brother George a freebie, wink, wink, after all, they’re family!

he can volunteer to be aunt zeituni’s butler…lord knows she needs help getting around the slum.

he can be the official obama puppy butt wiper…let’s face it, the O wouldn’t want their new puppy dragging its butt across the white house carpeting, chrissy can handle it…all in the name of that thrill going up his leg.

then during his days off from serving his messiah, Olberman substitutes for him.

HILLARY DID IT
by Lynette LongHillary elected Barack Obama. Single handedly she delivered the White House to him on a silver platter. She led millions of her supporters from outrage to complacency. She appeared a record seventy-nine times on behalf of Barack Obama. She played follow the leader. And her supporters followed. In droves.Still thousands of her supporters, ignored her pleas. Outraged by the misogynistic treatment of Hillary during the primaries, these supporters campaigned all over the country for John McCain. These women remembered being bullied by Obama supporters during the Texas caucuses. They remembered watching buses transport Obama supporters across state lines to illegally vote in primaries and participate in the caucuses. These “Real Democrats” or “Democrats for McCain” approached young women, old women, straight women, gay women, and urged them to vote for John McCain and Sarah Palin. A group traveled every weekend from New York to Scranton to canvas for John McCain. Others drove around Ohio in a motor home putting flyers on cars and talking to voters. Others were interviewed on television and radio. Thousands blogged. But no matter how hard they worked to right a wrong, one appearance by Hillary Clinton on national television stumping for Obama erased all their efforts. There was no way for them to win. On the road many former Hillary supporters asked them, Why is Hillary campaigning so hard for Obama? Others expressed their trust in Hillary succinctly, Hillary is my leader, I will do whatever she says. These were the true champions of democracy. For their efforts their friends called them racist and their bank accounts dwindled as they left their jobs to fight for what they believed in.Hillary could have stayed silent. Her silence would have been deafening. Hillary could have made one or two perfunctory appearances for Obama, instead aggressively campaigned for him. She did not have to do it. She campaigned for Obama knowing he was mute when his pastor trashed her from the pulpit.· She campaigned for Obama knowing he was blind when his supporters wore t-shirts that read, Iron my Shirt, but don’t run my country. Or worse.· She campaigned for Obama knowing he was silent when Ludacris called her a bitch. · She campaigned for Obama knowing the Obama campaign cheated in the caucuses and was the illegitimate nominee.· She campaigned for Obama knowing Obama and the DNC refused to have a true roll call at the convention.· She campaigned for Obama knowing Obama under the guise of ACORN registered tens of thousands of illegitimate voters. · She campaigned for Obama after he ignored pleas from her 18 million voters to select her for VP.· She campaigned for Obama after he trashed her husband’s legacy.· She campaigned for Obama after she was consistantly and visciously attacked by the mainstream media.· She campaigned for Obama knowing that her supporters, many of whom waited a lifetime to see a female presidential candidate, wanted her to fight on.· She campaigned for Obama knowing that millions upon millions of women across the world were cheering for her.Hillary was delivered the perfect storm. She could have stood up and fought for the women in this country who have lived a lifetime of invisibility. She could have given us courage. She could have rocked the world. Instead, she chose to put party before principle. She chose to put her career above the wants and needs of her supporters. She chose to work within the party rather than against it.
She may have put 18 million cracks in a glass ceiling, but she sent a resounding message to the women of the world. Go back to the man who abused you. Be silent. Be a good girl.It takes courage to break a glass ceiling. You have to be able to give a punch as well as take one. You have to be willing to stand alone. Hillary could have transcended politics. She didn’t. Instead she lost my respect and the respect of millions of women. History seldom gives a second chance. And courage isn’t an acquired trait. Some day, women will have their chance, per chance. Every woman will have the courage to stand up and be counted.

Comment by Soldier of Christ | 2008-11-07 09:19:16

OMG- the same way I am feeling…..Look…I don’t agree with everything Palin stands for and will never. But, I can say that when I saw her sad face on television- I knew in my heart that the party that I loved continued to bash her with no longer my party. I will predict this that the respect for Hillary will be gone and in 2012, Mrs. Clinton will go out again and try to bring in her supporters to go against any other possible woman candidate and to re-elect Obama. By then we will have all of his dirty linens out there, liberals will be fuming that he has not deliver his promises, and the media will be tired of his efforts to silence them, and when this happens, I predict that a Jindal/Palin or Palin/Jindal will be the new team that will win the whitehouse. Grooming has just started.

Bobby Jindal rocks! I really like him. Smart, well-educated — I never heard him speak, but I heard he is articulate. Oh yeah, did I mention he’s Asian?

What’s not to like?

Comment by requiredreading | 2008-11-07 09:58:30

I’ve heard Jindal speak — not only is he blissfully articulate but he appears to be very genuine, good-natured, intelligent, and truthful. Breath of fresh air. To me he’s as American as apple pie!

 

Comment by Mark | 2008-11-07 10:05:14

Well, do you like exorcisms?

 

Comment by NomNomNom | 2008-11-07 10:58:02

Well, let’s start with his support of teaching intelligent design in the schools, his desire to make the Patriot Act permanent, his support of the Military Commissions Act, his sh#t environmental record, and his belief that chemical castration works on sex offenders. That exorcism thing is a little creepy too: he questions it was really possession, but he deosn’t question the concept one bit. IMO the start up of witchhunts isn’t all that farfetched.

 

Comment by Chicago | 2008-11-07 11:17:09

Jindal is ten times the leader than the O. Jindal had everything ready for hurricane Gustav and had the folks at the louisiana coast evacuated in time.

I’ll bet the O will have his internet army start destroying Jindal’s reputation after they’re done with Palin (yes, the O’s not finished with Palin yet).

 
 

Comment by csuzeq | 2008-11-07 10:25:58

I do not believe that. Women had to be put down to build up AAs and there will not be a woman in power in this country in my lifetime.

Sarah should just stay in Alaska. They will never let her win. Hillary will be ousted when her seat is up. The new world order doesn’t allow for people who don’t go along.

Comment by oowawa | 2008-11-07 10:52:28

Sarah should just stay in Alaska. They will never let her win.

Csuzeq, I agree with you. “They” (and I’m not sure exactly who “they” are), seem to be already orchestrating a smear campaign that will destroy her before 2012. This is a good woman, good to the bone, and I do not want to watch her being abused any longer. Stay home with the people who love you, Sarah. Do not move back into an abusive relationship!

 

Comment by Chicago | 2008-11-07 11:27:18

what Sarah needs is to start her own PAC and be visible on the national stage. she can start a PAC for children with special needs and/or women’s rights. she can continue advocating for children with special needs and lobby congress for them.

if she keeps getting attacked, whoever they are, they will just keep stoking the support she gets from the people that like her and she just might gain more people to her side.

let’s face it, they will keep attacking her anyway. she might as well be out in the open and show that she is still courageous despite the 24/7 attempts to destroy her.

who among us wouldn’t like to see Sarah at each special olympics? who wouldn’t like to see Sarah make rounds in hospitals for, let’s say, make a wish foundation? who wouldn’t like to see Sarah join anti-cancer walk-a-thons? who wouldn’t like to see Sarah be in the spotlight 24/7?

Sarah doesn’t need to be involved in politics while making national appearances but she can start being active as an advocate for causes that she believes in.

Sarah has nothing to lose, and she would lose even more if she just hides herself in Alaska. if she sequesters herself to the state of Alaska, then those that are trying hard to destroy her will definitely win.

Let Sarah be Sarah, many said. well, the Sarah we know will stand up for her principles.

so my advice to Sarah, let yourself BE Sarah and let your voice be heard.

She led millions of her supporters from outrage to complacency

So you agree with lynette long that Hillary supporters were just sheepel? Brainless bots waiting for marching orders from Hillary? Unable to think for themselves Hillary supporters were lead over the cliff by Hillary herself. You really think that? Pathetic.

Comment by Grrrr | 2008-11-07 13:13:04

No, I do not. I was elated when Hill decided to run. I was certain (still am) that she was the only person running who had a real understanding of the issues that our country was facing and would face. It was a serious blow when she decided to end her campaign as I was hoping she would take it all the way to the convention. I don’t understand ending a triathlon 10 feet from the finish line. God knows we need/ed her as our president.
In the end, I felt that based on the very little known about Obama, pretty much all rotten, I just could not support him. I voted for McCain and for a straight Republican ticket.
What the DNC and Bots did to Hillary, how they treated her – I will never forgive them because when they did it to her, they were doing it to me and to all women. When they did that to her, they dishonored the 18 million (men and women, of all races and creeds) who voted for her. When they did that to her, they abused their power.
After 8 years of watching a power-hungry president use and abuse his office, it seemed that the DNC and all it is supposed to represent would do all it could to present a clean, positive, uplifting image. If it is possible, they are, along with Obama, worse than Bush ever was.
We need a president who will always be positive, who doesn’t hold grudges, who is smart enough to get us out of the jam we are in. That’s not Obama.
No, Hillary may have asked for my support in helping elect Obama, but I refused to lend it.

 
 
 

Comment by lark | 2008-11-07 09:51:19

So I take you will not be buying her book explaining all of these things you just wrote and complaint about. Nor you will be buying Bill’s books chronicling this election cycle nor any other book either of them put out chronicling the rise of this type of politics of hope. Right?

The first thing that Chris Matthews says in this interview is “I don’t question motives, Joe, is very hard to question motives.”

We I do, and is very easy for me to question motives.

I hope you don’t buy the books these two people will be writing, because their motive for all of their actions is to make millions selling books.

 

Comment by pamela mcfarland | 2008-11-07 10:33:40

Thank you so much. I don’t have the talent to express it as you did and it did me a world of good to see it expressed so well. When I saw Hillary campaigning for Obama, I actually felt humiliated and had to turn it off. I am so disappointed in her.

Comment by PKJayne | 2008-11-07 10:55:09

Throw Bill into that mix as well. Sickened me to see him on the stump for Barry.

 
 

Comment by snosandy | 2008-11-07 10:57:26

As a survivor of an abusive relationship, that is exactly why I could never support Barack Obama. I vowed 30 years ago to never let a man take advantage of me like that again.

 

Comment by elise | 2008-11-08 03:48:32

Why not blame Hillary? The Repubs are blaming Sarah Palin. Women always make the best whipping posts, don’t they Nancy? Do you think Obama wouldn’t have won if Hillary hadn’t kept her promise to support the Democratic candidate no matter who it was and to do her best to see a Democrat in the White House? Yes. Obama would have won and Hillary would have been ostracized from the party she has worked for all her adult life. Harry Reid has already threatened to take Lieberman’s committee assignment from him and he will find it hard to win his next election against the Democratic nominee because the Democrats will have all the money now. Why don’t we women continue to blame the best candidate this country has seen in my lifetime because she kept her promise and guaranteed her party’s obligation to her forever? Hillary may never be president and maybe she has accepted that, but she will always fight for us and her legacy will be greater than Obama’s or McCain’s because she is real. It is my belief Gov. Palin would never have been blamed for the Republican loss if she had been a man. The media would have said the outcome of this election was a result of eight years of failed Republican administration. John McCain campaigned for George Bush after Bush and Rove conducted the second most vile campaign against him. I don’t believe you ever supported Hillary, but wanted her to throw away everything to elect McCain. Sarah Palin will never be president no matter how much she knows or how sincere she is because she is a woman and, in the end, women don’t support each other.

Corporate controlled media must be held accountable for their criminal behavior! We must petition and organize against this type of slanted reporting. Boycott media. petition and call your Congressional reps, FCC must investigate and take action. The MSM thinks they have runned this election, the primaries and the general-their corporate controlled puppet has won. They have to be putted in their place.

Matthews is looking at taking a run for the Senate.

MSNBC host Chris Matthews is making preliminary inquiries into running to unseat Republican Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, while openly declaring himself an active supporter of the Obama administration.

If it is PA Chrissy will win. All Hillary has to do is say VOTE FOR CHRISSY.

The PA sheeple will vote for him like they voted for Murtha when Hillary said VOTE FOR MURTHA.

We are so screwed. If Palin ever runs again Obama will have Hillary saw her legs off and the insiders from both parties will sit and watch.

What about my five point program.

1. Boycott Hillary’s books.

2. Boycott Bill Clinton’s books.

3. Boycott Axelrod’s books.

4. Boycott Michelle’s Obama’s books.

and

5. Boycott any and all books written by anyone that serve or have served in any prominent government political position.

Let book writers be people who’s vocation and profession is to write and inform with only one interest, to write and inform and not to make millions from their pandering political networks.

Comment by ame | 2008-11-07 10:20:05

Boycotts don’t work. When was the last time you heard of a boycott working? I say fight fire with fire. Slime the media through the internet by using their own ridiculous words. IMO, this article is a good example of the right way to fight. We need to create a pile on effect. If you google Chris Matthews under google news, many articles pop up covering this story. We need to continue to call the media out. Otherwise, bias media propaganda will continue.

Pravda on the Potomac strikes again. Even when these “journalists” tell the public what they intend to do there’s no reaction.

9/11 did great harm to the American psyche. GW Bush finished the job.

The election went beyond Anybody But Bush (ABB). It became Any Body But A Republican (ABBAR).

I think the Katrina disaster was much overlooked. There was much residual anger and pain about the mistreatment and coverage of the folks from NOLA.

Barbara Bush and her callous statements didn’t help. Therefore, anyone associated with the “Republican Brand” was tarnished. Even McCain couldn’t overcome that. I’m not sure any Republican, even Palin, could.

The Democrats didn’t help by “taking impeachment off of the table”. But the Republicans are equally at fault. They let Bush run wild until 2006 after which the Democrats let him run wild.

I hope GHW Bush is happy. His son will not only go down in history as being one of the most unpopular Presidents. His son will be known as one who also managed to nearly destroy his own Party, for the foreseeable future, in the process.

Indeed we live in interesting times.

I couldn’t agree better, but, I wonder. I received this email and don’t want to hug up the site with the information-I will put only half of the article- but your comment needs to be replied to:
Subject: U.S. mission hauls uranium from Iraq.

Now that Bush is almost out of office the world should know that our current Commander and Chief kept his silence for 5 years to protect the security of the rest of the world! On the flip side of that display of integrity and honor… the despicable, but burgeoning list of Benedict Arnolds of our time must add two more miscreants to their roster-Joe Wilson and Valerie Plume! They should be ordered before a firing squad!
The proof is in the pudding – Is this a huge story? It’s a huge, headline, paradigm changing story.. but where is it being told?? With some effort, you can find this story has been quelled in the news like an unwanted and unrecognized acquaintance trapped in the quicksand of socialized media.

U.S. mission hauls uranium from Iraq.

This has been flying under the radar. I read the MSNBC article and checked it on truthorfiction. com. I pasted the TorF version 1 below. This event is factual. I have a renewed respect for President Bush. He has taken the heat of being called a liar and a war monger for 5 years while he kept his silence to protect the people of the world. This is truly a display of selfless honor.

On July 5, 2008, the Associated Press (AP) released a story titled: Secret U.S. mission hauls uranium from Iraq. The opening paragraph is as follows:

The last major remnant of Saddam Hussein’s nuclear program a huge stockpile of concentrated natural uranium reached a Canadian port Saturday to complete a secret U.S. operation that included a two week airlift from Baghdad and a ship voyage crossing two oceans.

See anything wrong with this picture? We have been hearing from the far-left for more than five years how, Bush lied. Somehow, that slogan loses its credibility now that 550 metric tons of Saddam’s yellowcake, used for nuclear weapon enrichment, has been discovered and shipped to Canada for its new use as nuclear energy.

It appears that American troops found the 550 metric tons of uranium in 2003 after invading Iraq. They had to sit on this information and the uranium itself, for fear of terrorists attempting to steal it. It was guarded and kept safe by our military in a 23,000-acre site with large sand beams surrounding the site.

This is vindication for the Bush administration, having been attacked mercilessly by the liberal media and the far-left pundits on the blogosphere. Now that it is proven that President Bush did not lie about Saddam’s nuclear ambitions, one would think the mainstream media would report the story. Once the AP released the story, the mainstream media should have picked it up and broadcast it worldwide.

This never happened, due in large part I believe, to the fact that the mainstream media would have to admit they were wrong about Bush’s war motives all along. Thankfully, the AP got it right when it said, The removal of 550 metric tons of yellowcake the seed material for higher-grade nuclear enrichment was a significant step toward closing the books on Saddam’s nuclear legacy.

Closing the book on Saddam’s nuclear legacy. Did Saddam have a nuclear legacy after all? I thought Bush lied. As it turns out, the people who lied were Joe Wilson and his wife.

Comment by Jean | 2008-11-07 10:20:52

Thanks for this information. This proves beyond any doubt that Bush always put the

country first
. I believe that history will vindicate his actions in defending the US.
Don’t forget what VP Biden said about Obama being tested. If you didn’t like the draft during the Vietnam war, you probably won’t like it under an Obama administration. In addition, women will be forced to register for the draft. I can’t understand how the anti-war morons can love this kind of change.

 

Comment by OBAMA IS A FRAUD | 2008-11-07 10:33:14

Do you have a link to this story or the story in its entirety? I would love to show this to my hater friends because I always said that Sadaam had the goods and they laughed at me.

 
 

Comment by George Smathers | 2008-11-07 14:45:15

For the last several months the US and Iraqi governments have been negotiating a Status of Forces Agreement to govern the presence and wind down of US troops in Iraq after the UN mandate expires this month. That Agreement has been finalized and will soon be signed. The withdrawal of US troops has already begun, and is even being accelerated beyond initial estimates, as Iraqi troops and civilian police forces have taken control over all but a few remaining small pockets of the country.

It’s over in Iraq, the Iraqi’s have their own democratically elected government and full sovereignty has been restored to the Iraqi people. Credit Bush, credit Patreus, credit McCain, or credit the Iraqi people themselves who stood up against insurgents, al Qaeda, nutjobs like Sadr, or their own corrupt politicians, and give credit where credit is due that the job is done.

Just don’t credit Obama, but that is what I read in the press this morning, an AP headline… Iraqi’s agree to Obama’s withdrawal timeline. Shameful.

 

Comment by Wisewoman | 2008-11-07 18:09:32

Soilder. I have seen this post before. I do not question it but I believe at the time before the Iraq war the issue was whether Sadam had declared ALL his “nuclear program material” not whether he actually had nuclear material. Scott Ritter and the head of the IAEA had said that the IAEA had confiscated the bulk of his materials program. The question was whether there was evience Saddam was lying. You are trying to infer that the “550 tons of yellow cake” had not been discovered by the IAEA before going to war. THAT IS THE ISSUE. DO YOU HAVE PROOF FOR THIS STATEMENT? If it had been discovered but not removed, I certainly could understand that since under war conditions that would have been too dangerous. I have a masters degree in chemistry and I know this is a raw material form of uranium not very high in U content but still very dangerous because of its radioactivity. Are you making the case that this yellowcake was discovered after the war began? I hope the Bush administration puts out a definitive paper on this issue to clear it up once and for all before the other participants leave this earth. By the way Ritter was threatened with prosecution for alleged sex with a 16 year old if he did not shut up about the whole issue. He disappeared from view.

Comment by elise | 2008-11-08 04:26:07

You are very Wise. These attempts to rewrite history have already begun in conservative political talk radio. If the American public doesn’t stay focused on what really happened in the run up to the Iraq invasion, we will allow it to happen again. The Bush administration claimed Saddam Hussein was an immediate threat to the United States. They claimed Iraq was responsible for 9/11. Colin Powell sat in the UN and blatantly lied about chemical and biological weapons and the possibility of a nuclear weapons program. The link provided as proof Bush was right doesn’t show anything of the kind. That uranium had been stored so long, the containers were rusted and leaking. According to the article, it had degraded to the point it would have been useless even for a dirty bomb. The aluminum tubes reported by the NYT and the next day by Cheney, were later proven to be unusable for nuclear weapons. Bush never vetoed a single spending bill until the Democrats gained a majority in 2006. Corruption was out of control with Haliburton and Blackwater USA was payed more than regular military. Please don’t do this people. I am a former Democrat who voted for McCain and I will never be blinded by partisanship again because it is going to destroy our country faster than any foreign government. We were lied to about everything. There were no WMDs and Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. If we forget that for one moment, it will happen again.

I have had a hard time justifying HRC campaigning for BO after his supporters went out of their way to trash her. BO never stood up and said not to do it. I,too, have lost respect for HRC. To me, for a while, she transcended the Dem party. But then she sold out.

Hey don’t feel down Hillary is going to get a big post in the Obama administration, I mean after all that he cant leave her out, he has to make he head honcho of something….

I hope or as some who said they were going to vote for McCain/Palin, but changed their minds last minute, Hillary will run again in 2016 when she is 70, she is not that old look McCain tried it so why cant Hillary at the ripe age not give it a try.

This is what the Hillary supporters accepted so don’t feel down maybe they know what they are speaking about all we have to do is wait and see

Comment by waldenpond | 2008-11-07 15:08:19

If Matthews is running for office in PA, he will voluntarily leave soon to begin positioning himself. His behavior during this election season will have gotten the attention of the Dems, but will the reaction to him be positive or negative. The Dems will do some polling on him before the fund his campaign.

 
 

Comment by ame | 2008-11-07 09:35:52

Thank you! I said this yesterday and I’ll say it again. It’s time to go after the mainstream media…hard core. The only way you’ll ever be able to bring forth any criticism in reference to Obama is to hold the media accountable. If the focus is on holding Obama’s feet to the fire, the media will cover for their favorite politician BUT…If we make the political pundits the story on the internet and talk radio, possibly we can shame them toward reporting rather than bias punditry. We need to attack the msm continuously…THE MEDIA NEEDS TO BECOME THE NEWS!

 

Comment by Geo | 2008-11-07 09:41:42

Anyway,these creep Republican McCain staffers are trying to do to Palin what the creep Democrats did to Hillary Clinton.

I got this from hot air. But it about sums it up.

I guess it is OPEN SEASON ON POWERFUL WOMAN.

The attacks on Palin are more vigorous because she puts COUNTRY FIRST not PARTY FIRST and they are AFRAID of what she was able to achieve by taking on both parties.

I think the treatment of Palin is inappropriate but I do not, in any way, think of Palin as a powerful person. I think she’s has an outgoing personality but would never vote for her. I considered leaving the top blank as she is way too far right. Hopefully the moderate Republicans will be able to outnumber the old guard social extremists.

otherwise it is law and order, house or something entertaning. fortunately i like to read.

television is fine. YOU BE IN CONTROL. we don’t need these hacks. they can’t keep their jobs if no one watches. look msnbc has dismal numbers. after the election is over, the obots won’t be watching as much. my cats have longer attention spans than they do.

I agree with you 100%. I have followed your posts and your research on the caucus fraud. I also listened to you on the McCain/Palin sunday conference call and am very impressed with your strenght, commitment and perserverence to a just cause. Thank you for all your dedication and hard work. We need leaders like you.
I just want to add something to your caucus research which I think is important and has been overlooked. I think Hillary won New Hampshire because the students were on vacation. That would change the new Hampshire Hillary win scenario….she was caught weeping and thus human. Are you writing a book? It’s is important not to let the scoundrals rewrite history for us.

Comment by hadenough | 2008-11-07 10:19:06

I think Hillary won New Hampshire because the students were on vacation.

Votes Percentage
Hillary Clinton 112,404 39.09%
Barack Obama 104,815 36.45%

So you think more than 7,598 out of state students were on vacation and had they skipped their vacation the more than 7,598 out of state students would have voted for the candidate they didn’t give enough of a damn about to skip their vacation and vote. Of course those more than 7,598 out of state students would have had to have been eligible voters to start with. And had those more than 7,598 out of state eligible student voters not gone on vacation they would have voted for barry? That’s what you are saying? Is it possible the more than 7,598 out of state eligible student voters you think went on vacation instead staying in NH and for obama don’t exist? Is it possbile the more than 7,598 out of state eligible student voters that you think exist would have had to skip vacation and vote for barry really didn’t give enough of a damn about barry to bother staying and voting? Is it possible at least some of the more than 7, 598 out of state eligible student voters voted in their home states and districts? GOOD GRAVY! And OMG!

NANCY SABET AT 9:08 RE DR. LONG ON HILLARY’S FAILURE.
I posted Nancy’s remarks on PUMApac and had these responses.
blondlady 11.07.08 at 9:59 am
Atypical #21 – thanks for posting that. It’s exactly what Hillary did and totally nails the reason for the loss of confidence that so many of her followers had in her. But, I’m through looking back, like Scarlett O’Hara, said, it’s too painful and it just tears at your heart. I’m making a resolution to do something at least every week for the next four years to boost Sarah Palin’s image. I’m sure that plenty of opportunities will come up that will make it very easy. Today I’m emailing Bill O’Reilly, Last night he read an email from someone who asked why did he threw Sarah under the bus based on Karl Cameron’s comments and he answered “because it’s news.” Sorry, but it’s not news, it’s gossip. Karl said he couldn’t say who said it, and that’s the number one component of gossip. He probably won’t read it and that’s okay. Think I’ll post it on Gretawire, too.

WOW! that’s some tough lovin on Hillary from Lynette Long. I’m going to let it sink in. How about you guys? I feel less raw today, but still a bit protective/edgy — these are the days we lash out and then want to pull the emotions back a bit and feel sorry for flying off the handle. RD is still dealing with explaining her post-election temporary “giddiness.” I’m still dealing with my post-election “fu** the democratic party” post. I think Lynette makes some good points and I may end up agreeing with her completely. She may end up modifying her stance.

I dont want to attack or fully support what she writes. Though I must admit it strikes me as pretty true on first reading.

oh well. We have to build this from the bottom up. Someone very wise said yesterday, “Lead, never be led. Not even by people you admire.”

That sentence is applicable in so many ways. To Hillary herself, who maybe should have been more of a leader and been less led. To us as Hillary supporters. And to us as leaders of this movement.

Interesting.

I was also a national delegate for Hillary. I campaigned vigorusly for John McCain – and I am a staunch democrat. She disappointed me so much. Hopefully, with time, I can overcome my sadness.

No one is saying it is ALL HILLARY’S FAULT. They are expressing disappointment, and it’s understandable. People want a leader who they believe will stand up for them, which Hillary promised many times. Well these people feel she stood up for the Democratic party, instead of them.

Hillary did above and beyond what she had to do to elect ostupid. Now we have obots running around saying she is “a worthy woman”, why? Because she did exactly what they wanted, and thus, all women were put in their place. If you don’t understand this, o.k., but many women understand the repercussions of what Hillary has done.

 
 

Comment by beachnan | 2008-11-07 13:52:52

Thank you Red Dragon. I agree, this Hillary bashing is pissing me off. I am beginning to think that this whole election was a done deal between the Dems and Republicans a long time ago, and that’s why the DNC decided to get “their man” in. The caucus fraud was a planned deal, way in advance of the caucuses. The rulings about which states should go first was a done deal. Everything was set up for Obama. Does anyone remember BO’s words to Ed Rendell
during he Pennsylvania primaries? He told him, “You kknow I’m going to be the nominee.” I’m not even sure if he didn’t say President. Why were all these people allowed to vote more than once, and all of this done in the key battleground states. Quit blaming Hillary and the Clintons for everything. Don’t you think that they, above everyone else, would have wished for a different outcome.

No matter how hard we work or what mistakes BO make, if the media does not report it to the public, or if they spin the information to make him look good, then the “average Joe/Jane”, who gets his/her news and political information and forms opinions from them, will contimue to vote for the candidate the MSM pushes down their collective throat.
We need to work on the MSM and hold them ACCOUNTABLE. Do we foster accountability and diverse points of view by regulating the MSM again?

 

Comment by OBAMA IS A FRAUD | 2008-11-07 10:37:22

Chris Matthews is an embarrassment to America. Period. So is Keith Olbermann. I am so shocked by what a CRUEL nation this has become. I realized this morning that the cruelty and viciousness is part of why I can’t get over it. Olbermann was so vicious about Palin that it looked like he was going to burst a blood vessel about it. Why? His boyfriend Obama won. Let it go. But these people are STILL frothing at the mouths over it. Kind of bizarre and scary that the media has taken this approach. My friend wrote him what I think is the nastiest email I have ever seen. I hope he gets more. These people need to be stopped. Very sad.

Comment by Witzend | 2008-11-07 11:08:45

Remember Olbermann’s diatribe against Hillary during the primaries? I didn’t watch his show much before that heinous spectacle, and haven’t watched it since. The man (if he can be called that) is a worthless ogre.

 

Comment by beverly leslie | 2008-11-07 11:55:27

What I realized is no matter how so called “progressives” believe they are spiritually developed and are doing for “the good” of the world, they are just a bunch of animalistic thugs they claim the republicans to be. They will rule like thugs for the “good” of their “just cause”. It is all about “ruling” being the head of the animal kingdom. At the beginning of this election, as a progressive, I really believed it was all about equality for everyone. I realized after watching this circus play out, it’s not. So my ideals crumbled, and now I have to rebuild my ideology in reality.

A great book that helped me understand was Darkness at Noon. The Blood purge is what the obots are part of and they will destroy anyone who stands in their leaders way, even if they have to step on the constitution for “the greater good”. You know the constitution they screamed was being violated by GWB.

Hillary could not have helped McCain. Nothing that she could have done would have mattered – not with a biased media, an unpopular incumbent, and the FINANCIAL CRISIS. The financial crisis is the clincher. With it, no republican could have won against any Democrat.

Maybe Keith and Chris will take NBC up on this offer:

NBC DC Bureau Makes Plea To Staff On Buyout Program
At a meeting in NBC News’ DC bureau today, bureau chief Mark Whitaker made a renewed plea to staffers to take the network’s buyout package, sources tell FishbowlDC.

The buyout offer has been an option for a while now, as part of NBC Universal’s plan to trim $500 million from its budget, but, here in DC, few employees have taken it.

Whitaker told staffers that, if anyone’s thinking of retiring, to please reconsider taking the buyout package. Staffers have one week to decide. As often happens in these staff-trimming situations, layoffs will likely occur if NBC does not reach its target cuts via the buyout program.

 

Comment by RedDragon62 | 2008-11-07 10:50:24

Royal:

I believe the Republicans “Could” have won. My thinking is that the Media refused to hold those Democrats “Responsible” for their actions to account. If the Media would have “reported” what many of us already knew, then I think Obama would have had alot of explaining to do. Instead, the media refused to report on the Democratic support for Fanny and Freddie and that allowed Obama to “Game” the American people!

Comment by Buck O'Fama | 2008-11-07 11:13:12

Time for a campaign to hasten the decline of the lamestream media. Suggestions: get those response cards from Time and Newsweek and fill them out with phony names and addresses. Call the NY Times 1-800 number and subscribe with phony names. Anything to waste their time and cost them precious money (they are already bleeding to a slow death.) Any other suggestions? Write the MSNBC advertisers and tell them we’re boycotting their products until they remove their ads? This is change we can believe in.

None of us women had to take marching orders from Hillary. How many people, men or women, have refused to back their party’s nominee? I guess Ted opted out on Carter–and he’s been criticized ever since. Hillary would have been trashed further as a vindictive bitch whom the Dems would never nominate because she wouldn’t support her party. Blacks would be mad at her, and the liberal press would pound the racist accusations even more vehemently. I never thought for a second that Hillary or Bill were doing more than going through the motions. I personally don’t know a single woman who voted for Bobo because “Hillary said to”. They were yellow dog Dems, or their union endorsed Bobo. And they did it holding their noses. Hillary did not win this election for the fool. IMO, illegality in the big cities did. After Bobo makes a shambles of the office of Prez, Hillary will there to pick up the pieces.

Regarding Hillary, when I start wanting to get mad at her for campaigning for BO in the general elections, I remember that picture of her with her black coat, one hand up, the other holding the microphone, talking in the rain, and that stops my negative thoughts.
I choose to remember Hillary for her hard work in the primary, and how she made me proud. I will remember her words “when the dogs are chasing, keep going”.
I know that along the way, in the near or far future, more information will come out to ponder over and form opinions about.
I also think I can understand the reason why many of her former supporter are feeling so disappointed with her post primary support of BO and the final GE results. I’m not happy with her post primary campaigning and the GE results either.

If we have learned something positive from all this, is that we will not allow any party to take our votes for granted. And yes!, you “whites” need to stop that “white guilt” nonsense. Our ancestors, Caucasian, Asian, Native American, African, at one time or another fought each other, enslaved each other, and even married each other eventually.
Now we are here in America. If we work hard and make good use of our opportunities, we get somewhere. It is very important to have a strong middle class for the survival of a democratic society. So I am a “Brown American”, and guess what, I AM PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN!

My main gripe is with the MSM that misinformed and misled the general public in an almost traitorous way to push this constitutionally ineligible, and unqualified man (BO), and savagely attacked the two able, accomplished women we had to choose from. WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING CONCRETE AND EFFECTIVE AGAINST THIS BEHAVIOR OF THE MSM.
Ultimately, however, the decision and burden falls on me, the voter. We, the voters, decided whether to vote for a particular candidate, whether to leave the presidential slot blank, or whether to just sit at home or go about our business and not vote.

So, if any of you want to rant against Hillary but also feel that you don’t want to, REMEMBER THAT PICTURE OF HER IN THE RAIN, that will give you pause.

A final thought. Since we have observed that millions of dollars and millions of people do count to win an election,
I will suggest we start contributing to
Sara Palin campaign fund twice a month
to help her to a good start for her next run (Senator?). And let’s work on building up the grassroots.

AMERICA FIRST!

End of Amazonia’s rant :)

Here is what is going to happen: no matter how disconcerted the public becomes with the annointed one, the media is going to protect him. I think they are getting paid to do so. Also, just like throughout the campaign – there will be no accountability for his actions.
Didn’t we just go through 8 years of the same BS?

NO PRAYERS FOR OBAMA

Obama is not a natural US born citizen and therefore got this election through trickery and coercion. He is not my president, only in name.

Obama used the name of Jesus Christ to try to get the Christians to vote for him and he used a photo op at the Holy Wailing Wall in Jerusalem to get the Jewish vote. For 20 years he attended a “church” where the pastor cursed and used God’s name in vain from the pulpit, to get the black vote. In my opinion, he might as well of used the “F” word in the “sanctuary,” which I’m sure he has anyway, just never got on tape. And it is very clear about how he and Obama feel about Israel and the Jews.

Am I to assume you’d also instruct the German Christians back in Hitler’s day to pray for the “wisdom and safety of Adolf Hitler? Brothers and sisters, it’s time to check yourselves on that one.

There are far more scriptures in complete contrast to praying for a monster like Obama. I don’t recall Jesus calling for prayer for Caesar, Herod, or even Judas for that matter. Peter did not pray for Ananias and Saphira who came to him with a lie on their lips; and the early Christians did not pray for Nero’s safety and wisdom. In fact, Jesus said He only prays for the ones that the Father has given him, those who’s names are in the Lamb’s Book of Life.

AND I DON’T RECALL JOHN THE BAPTIST PRAYING FOR HEROD: HE SAT OUTSIDE HEROD’S GATES AND DECLARED TO HIM AND THE WORLD THAT HEROD WAS IN VIOLATION OF GOD’S LAW AGAINST ADULTERY. AND HE GOT HIS HEAD CHOPPED OFF FOR IT.

Now we have a man Obama that supports infanticide, homosexual marriage, Islam (praying to the moon god, which YWH forbids), racially divided churches, and splitting the land of Israel, and he accepts worship and adoration as a deity: all of which is far greater sin than Herod marrying his brother’s wife.

No, we’d better pray for the courage to stand in the faith against such a monster.

It is really a sad day that people chose to trust
individuals with their life time investments then
find out they were ripped off because the RNC allowed
this shocking thing to happen. The ones who did allow
the economics of the country to seriously suffer then
have the balls to kick Obama around then make statements about who he selects for his administration. Others cry to the blues that Obama was selected to be the new president yet feel good
about what the RNC done to this country. I hope the
many of them be found then stand in court for mutiny,
or serve serious time for going against the government, and freeze all of their monies. How in the sam this was allowed to happen. Obama is not the
enemy fool;it is a shame he has to clean up the mess. We no longer need to critize because our country may plunge;we do not have time for your hate, just get involved and help this country because if we do not it will get worst. Obama said,
we all have to get involved.

Voter. I’m sorry to say this but you are the stupid one. You think the economic melt down is all the Repubs fault because Obama told you so. That is the problem, he is a liar. Let me inform you with the truth and with some links to back up what I am saying. YOU HAVE JUST VOTED IN THE ONE MAN IN THE WHOLE US WHO ONE COULD SAY IS THE MOST TO BLAME FOR US CITIZENS LOSING MONEY IN THEIR RETIREMENT, 401Ks, STOCKS, ETC. Yes Obama is most at fault and the MSM did not tell you.

My research indicates that the dems are mostly to blame. Even Bill Clinton is caught on video saying so.( Link 2. See last 30 sec for Bill Clinton)

1. 1994>> Through Acorn’s community and legal actions, Sen Obama & other attorneys sued Citibank Federal Savings Bank in Chicago in federal court charging racial discrimination in housing lending.
2. 1998>> They won the case, bank entered into a consent decree to lend money for housing to less qualified buyers with insufficient collateral.
3. 1999>> Clinton administration entered into other consent decrees with other banks. Eventually Fannie Mae (FM) and Freddie Mac (FM) backed these mortgages.
4. FM & FM backed mortgages mainly caused the economic melt down.
5. Through his action and inaction, Sen Obama bares a heavy responsibility for the stock market losses impacting 401ks, retirement, and other income. In 2005, Sen John McCain attempted to prevent this melt down through needed legislation. Dems stonewalled. Sen Obama did nothing.

Chris Matthews is Barry’s boy toy.

Chris Matthews ought to do a video singing, “I’ve got a crush on Obama”.
