    All the more reason to marginalize the socialist left MSM. Leave them to wallow in their shallow jackbooted theology. It’s time to take back this country, and Americans are feeling their Wheaties. Now we will see if the ‘survivors’ get the message. If not, 2012 is the next stop on this freedom train.

    The man is certifiable. Luckily no one was watching and nobody cares. MSNBC has other media giants with similar thinking to back Matthews up when they come to take Matthews, Olbermann, Maddow and Odonnell away to the NBC home for never was’s. Who, you ask? Why Eddie the Annoyer, of course. AKA the dunk tank clown, more aptly named DICK.

They don;t really want to pass any of the measures they blather about, they just want to be able to point their fingers at the other chamber and the president.

    Chris acts as if this was the first time he ever interviewed a politician. MSNBC was what we kept switching to after Fox News would announce a turnover, just to hear what the unprofessional dullards were whining about. Of course we went back to Fox for the news but the MSNBC crew is entertaining.

      The audio starts earlier than this, so you don’t hear that he had to repeat the question. And she never answered it. Given her prior statements about investigating unAmerican liberals, it is a fair question to ask how she will use the subpoena power. I think asking whether she was hypnotized was inartful, but she clearly refused to answer questions. This is the problem with DC. Beck says we have a puppet in the WH, but at least he answers questions. That makes her worse than a puppet.

      By the way,the Tides Foundation is not bad. Beck’s propaganda is bad…really bad for America.

Then he tries the same tactics with Cantor and Cantor responded with the same wit and grace as Bachman and left Mathews and crew babbeling again. That was one of the few times MSNBC was worth watching. Pretty funny!

      I am very right of center but why didn’t she shut him down with his question? If she’s the best we have, we’ll have Barry for 2 terms. If the interviewer asks a fixed/rigged/stupid question, rip him a new one with a declarative sentence answer. When you just keep reciting talking points, Dem or Rep or Tea, you come across as avoiding. The MSNBC group actually had some good questions, they only have softball for Dems, and if she could answer one she would have won me over. As it is I don‘t think she’s all that bright..and I’m on her side. However it takes more than seeing a problem, how the heck do we solve it. To say cut spending and taxes sounds good if you don’t think. What are you going to cut? How do we pay off our debt with less revenue coming in? How about listing the Fed agencies you will close down, starting with the Dept of Education? How about bumping up the SS retirement age 2-3 yrs effective in 4yrs? How about no income cap on paying SS? How about a realistic reevaluation of SS payments to upper income folks? How about NO tax rebate to people who don’t pay income taxes ? How about a REAL freeze on ALL budget items, after we close a LOT of agencies. How about NOT paying farmers NOT to grow food? If our capitalism system is the best then a few folks who made BAD investments and are going bankrupt, like some Wall St firms and a local bank or two, should not bring down the world’s economy. Therefore, we don’t need to bail them out. It’ our country and OUR leaders should be able to answer a snotty question from a talking head with a TV show. If he/she can’t, maybe we should look elsewhere for people to get us us out of the mess WE are in. If we want to save our country, and maybe convert a few libs, then lets FIX our country. If we succeed, there is nothing the other side can say. However, if we elect people we like and over look their short comings…we will end up with conservative Barney Franks ! This is to important to accept people who are not up to the major tasks ahead of us. How we get our nation back on it‘s feet can’t be left to a community organizer with zero real world experience…Dem, Rep or Ind.

Michelle Baucman is a true patriot and knows her Constitution. We need all of our Congress and President to be more like her. I believe Mrs. Baucman can hold her own.

      Bachman was awesome as usual. She’s the cream of the American crop, superseded only by Palin in depth and breadth of knowledge of the economy, political philosophy, foreign affairs, the Constitution, the economy and climate science. She could be teaching at any Ivy League college on any of those subjects, but she chose public service instead, her sole desire being to serve the public good.

      And she is correct in my opinion, although she wasn’t about to bend over for Matthews and answer his question. There are Democratic, progressive members of Congress who are anti-American and who do, in fact, hold treasonous beliefs. They want to destroy this country with the same Marxists ideas, such as universal healthcare that have enslaved Europe entire. These communists should be held to account and if found guilty, face the punishment clearly specified by American law for the crime of treason.

      Are you retarded. Bachman understands that the crew assembled there had one objective and that is to bait her into being the subject of a 20 minute Olberman/Machio tyraid. She turned it around into good sound on the talk radio side. Point scored and made Chriss look like a dork with one sentence. Sometimes it is the simple part of people that is the most understandable. The over educated elites have let us down every time. All they know is complication to insure job security. Freedom is simple as the Constitution is the best example (4 pages). Socialism is complicated as Obamacare is the most recent example (2400).

      Rep. Bachmann was great. One thing we all have to remember is she was in a crowded area with a lot of noise behind her. I noted she was blocking one ear with her hand in order to listen to that dopy Matthews ask the questions. Quite frankly, I would not do another interview with anyone from MSNBC just like Obama doesn’t want to do interviews with FOX.

      It’s not as if she was in a one on one interview with the jerk. Matthews and MSNBC should apologize and apologize profusely.

      Matthews has no class. Rep. Bachmann, much.

      Michele Bachman is a Natural Beauty. When she stares into the camera She looks even prettier. Her eyes are so hypnotizing (in a good way). It’s hard to believe She has raised 17 Children. I love Her like My Sister and would kick His butt if He ever hurt Her.

      Fat Azz aka: Christ (The Druler) Matthew is jealous He’s not pretty.

      “I am very right of center but why didn’t she shut him down with his question? ”

      What a joke, someone that starts their argument by they are very right of center, questioning someone else on their inelegance. You can’t have an iq above 75-80 and think that socialism is a good thing, yet the right always wants to pretend they are brilliant as the drool runs down the corner of their lips.

      Swampy, did you really mean to say, “yet the right always wants to pretend they are brilliant as the drool runs down the corner of their lips.” I’m confused.
