‘Ignorance is Bliss’: Matthews Continues Assault on Bachmann, Palin

Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann apparently send a very different kind of thrill up Chris Matthews’ leg than President Barack Obama. Judging from his visceral reaction to the mere utterance of their names, I‘d say it’s not a “thrill” so much as a searing pain that shoots up his leg, passes through his knee with an electrifying jolt toward his groin.

He‘s not content in merely declaring that Palin or Bachmann wouldn’t have his vote if either of them were to run for president.

Instead, he feels this unnatural, unhealthy urge to tear them down on every front. In his latest rant, he continues to criticize them for not being polished politicians with a counsel of advisers feeding them lines before they speak in public.

He can’t understand why people praise Palin or Bachmann “like messiahs.”  (Ha!)

He then goes on to criticize Bachmann for her pronunciation — a critique I don’t recall hearing when President Obama praised “corpsemen.”

I‘d be willing to bet that both Bachmann and Palin know we don’t have 57 states. Even when the commander-in-chief is caught referring to one foreign war while talking about another, there’s not a peep from Matthews and his crew of political cronies.

It would be funny if it weren’t so rude — Matthews is so transparently threatened by these women, he can’t stand it.

Keep up the good work, ladies.

    Wow, Tingles is at it again. What is fixation on this 2 women. He comes off as some nancy-boy who has a problem with attractive and powerful women. I am beginning to believe that Tingles is just a sexist hater who has issues with his mother. What’s the matter Tingles? Does it have something to do with her cutting you off from breast feeding too early? You know, when you went off to college?

    His wife Kathleen Matthews has been an outspoken advocate for women’s issues throughout her career. One could guess the Chris hasn’t had any in years – thus, the bitterness excretes from his mouth. The guy can’t stop talking, and doesn’t hardly let anybody get a word in to respond. Wouldn‘t you just love to have one of Chris’s nemisis, in an interview, just say “Chris, shut up and go get laid, will ya” except that mean Kathleen would have obliged. So sad.

    It was Tim Russert who was the worthwhile news reporter. Chris Matthews was the pretender and fraud, who leaned on the likes of Tim Russert for his own personal success in the media, when Tim Russert died, Chris Matthews lack of talent and ability became more obvious to all throughout the passing years, and now he‘s being seen for the fool and fraud that he’s always been.
    Being a fraud, he couldn’t help getting a tingle up his leg, when he saw Obama, because ‘it takes one to know one,’ and he saw in Obama the fraudulent side which was only a reflection of himself.

    Poor Chris seems to have mommy issues. His constant attacks on women shows he never had much of a relationship with his own mother. This may be in part due to her abandoning him in favor of the family poodle. Chris got pats on the head and had to do tricks for snacks and the dog only had to cuddle with mommy to get the same treats.

It scares the crap out of them too. That’s why Matt Damon, et al. are so hateful and condescending. He is one of their useful idiots. The same tactic is used on Glenn Beck.

      Note to Chrissy Maaaathews -some history you choose to ignore –Benjamin Franklin on behalf of the
      Pennsylvania Society for promoting the abolition of slavery,and the relief of free Negroes unlawfully held in bondage–letter to John Langdon including a copy of Thomas Clarksons’s excellent Essay upon the
      Commerce and Slavery of the Africans, in 1788.p.429-430 Benjamin Franklin :,Library of America J.A. Leo LeVay editor, 1987 Long after I was no longer a ward of the local high school (having graduated in 69) I am aware that PA was not a Southern State-and it seems Old Ben Franklin was a white guy.
      Dr.William J.Bennett,former Secretary of Education teaches via his book America the Last Great Hope Thomas Nelson,2006 ppb p.123 “It is clear that all but a tiny few of the delegates to the Constitutional Convention morally disapproved of slavery.” (and he gives credible examples,naming a few names Roger Sherman, Gouverneur Morris,George Mason…) And I note George Mason was,like
      George Washington , a slave holder–yet he declared every slaveholder was a “petty tyrant” and added “As nations cannot be rewarded or punished in the next world , so they must be in this . By an
      inevitable chain of causes and effects,Providence punishes national sins by national calamities.” –
      The Papers of James Madison,Henry Gilpin Editor Langtree and O’Sullivan publishers,1840 Vol.III p.139(Aug.22,1787) and note : Luther Martin on Jan.27,1788 seems to have affirmed this when he declared “It was said, and ought be considered,that national crimes can only be and frequently are
      punished in this world by national punishments.” And then there is Thomas Jefferson the very words inscribed on his Memorial in Washington D.C. come from the Notes on the State of Virginia Query XVIII Feb.27,1787 -speaking of Slavery -Can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis ,a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are of the gift of God ? That they are not to be violated but with his Wrath? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that god is Just: that his justice cannot sleep forever.” p229 Thomas Jefferson ;Writings ,Merrill D. Peterson Editor, Library of America, 1984If I offend Chrissy Maaaathews by considering him a used up hack journalist and disgrace to his trade -IMO his historical commentary smack of dementia–maybe it is time he retired to the old entertainers home for the infirm ?

Propaganda like this will keep those core hard left idiots that watch religiously, and alienating and ostrasizing those who are on the fence and seeking the truth!

If you were really serious, you’d correct Obama and his Corpsman mistake, he said 3x and nothing from you. You’ve never mispronounced a word? You are a true IDIOT CHRIS MATTHEWS, you idiot.
