Another 'Hardball' Meltdown!
I don't know what they're serving up in MSNBC's Hardball's green room, but it sure isn't valium or brain food. For the second night in a row, Chris Matthews refuses to suffer foolishness - and good on him for a change. Last night it was Pat Buchanan, who in comparison to tonight's crazy right-winger, look staid, composed and reasonable.
Tonight's Hardball guest was KRLA (Intelligent. Conservative. Talk Radio) radio's Kevin James, who apparently is a lawyer. Tonight's topic was President Bush's remarks (covered by my colleague Mark) at the Israeli Knesset . As you'll see, his undergraduate and law schools must not have made him take American History. Or his grammar school or high school.
Another long one, but definitely worth every second of your viewing time!
Kevin's Wiki was updated to add this to his list of accomplishments not long after this aired.

OBAMA HAS RUN HIS ENTIRE CAMPAIGN ON LIES. WE DIDN’T HEAR ABOUT THEM UNTIL AFTER HALF OF AMERICA HAD VOTED! HE SIMPLY CANNOT BE TRUSTED!
“I never heard THOSE kind of sermons from Rev. Wright. I wasn't there” (for 20 years I didn't hear them) A couple of weeks later, “Oh yea, I heard them, but he didn't really mean what he said. I can't disown him he's my crazy old uncle.” Then he said, “I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt”. (What doubt? That he, Rev. Wright wouldn't show his a$$ again?) The Bosnia story was minor compared to the Wright story --- the NAFTA story --- the Rezko story --- the HAMAS story --- and many others.
AND NOW WE LEARN THAT, in 2001, Obama boasted that he helped a handful of “African American-owned” investment firms in Chicago get a larger share of business WITH ILLINOIS STATE PENSION FUNDS.
THE OWNER OF ONE OF THE CHICAGO-BASED INVESTMENT FIRMS, JOHN ROGERS OF ARIEL CAPITAL, IS A “PRINCIPAL OBAMA CAMPAIGN FUNDRAISER”.
Nor did Obama reveal that employees of the firms he helped have since contributed to or helped to raise MORE THAN $765,000 FOR HIS CAMPAIGNS, according to campaign documents.
Nor did he mention that two of the firms have ALLOWED HIM TO USE THEIR PRIVATE JETS.
Nor did he mention that two of the firms have since been DISMISSED by the state pension fund for "UNDERPERFORMANCE"!
WHAT ELSE IS BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA HIDING?
HILLARY TO THE END!
NO-BAMA12:16AMMay 16th 2008
THIS IS FOR THE PEOPLE WHO ARE VOTING FOR THIS CLOWN.
So what does Obama do when he has no plan? He makes up a snazzy title for the pamphlet he delivers to homes.
CHANGE OREGON CAN BELIEVE IN: “Barack Obama will reinvigorate the drinking water standards that have been weakened under the Bush administration and update them to address new threats. He will help communities by restoring better federal financing for water and wastewater treatment infrastructure, and he will continue his leadership in protecting national treasures like the Great Lakes from threats such as industrial pollution, water diversion, and invasive species. Obama will establish policies to help high-growth regions with the challenges of managing their water supplies.”
GREAT LAKES IN OREGON?
HE’S VISITED 57 STATES? DO THEY INCLUDE FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN?
WHO IS THIS OBAMA?
WHAT COUNTRY IS HE RUNNING IN? CAN’T BE THE USA.
HILLARY OR McCAIN IN 2008!

I would like to remind everyone that two days before 911, the United States walked out of the African International conference of race relations. Two days later we paid for that with 3000 lives.

Mary O,
are you menopausing??? What is your freaking problem? Being a sore loser is something a child does, not a 55 year old woman. Hillary lost not because there was some vast media conspiracy or DNC conspiracy. Hillary lost because she underestimated her opponent and ran a pathetic, un-organized campaign. She did this because she thought she was a shoe-in for the nomination. You want a fight, sister? You can get one. There are women out here who supported Obama, there are women out here who supported Clinton. On this frivolous claim you are making and these ridiculous threats you and the stepford Clint-bots are making, I'll stand alongside any MAN or WOMAN who displays the common sense you and others like you are SORELY lacking!!!!

lulu,
then go. get out. Don't talk about it. Be about it. If you feel that you no longer are in line with the Democratic party, leave. It's simple and easy. Don't launch threats, because there are people who will take you up on it. Then you are going to have to shit or get off the pot....

Why the menopausal crack, Leslie? There are MILLIONS of us that feel the same way. We've see those whimpy white male politicans and news pundits trying to shove her out of the race time and again. We've seen her criticized for her hair, her laugh, her clothes, her pearls and her daughter. Not one word about BO's big ears and ET fingers. Not one word when he gave her the finger and the juvenile shoulder brush-off. NOT ONE WORD. We saw her huge win in W. VA. shoved to the side by another white male politician's endorsement of BO the following day. They had to knock her down again, didn't they? We've seen her win in many huge states, only to see that state's delegates run to BO.
Women comprise 50% of the population. Howard Dean and the DNC act as if we're invisible. Leslie, don't be surprised if millions of us abandon the party. It has nothing to do with being sore losers. It has everything to do with our voices being silenced by a male-dominated party.

Rumor has it Al Gore to endorse Hillary......
Go Hillary all the way to the convention

I guess Obama has a guilty conscience that he attacked Bush. Wouldn't Obama had been better off agreeing with Bush. If the shoe fits......

Can you make a case for your candidate without attacking other posters? Actually, can you post at all without it being an attack on someone else?

Thanks all for your comments, but this post was about talk show host Kevin James on Hardball yesterday. Any chance of commenting on the content?

Thanks, Tommy! Matthews has been surprisingly lucid lately. This one is definately VOTW material.

Women have been messed over for many years by the Democrat Party and it appears that millions of “US” will be returning the favor, should this primary season continue on its current path. Hillary Clinton is clearly the best choice to be our party’s nominee for President. As a life-long Democrat, age 55, I think the way my party has hosed Hillary and their most loyal and largest voting block; women intolerable. I am confident the Democrat Party will pay a severe price for this blatant assault on women in November. Cry all you want about this being “sour grapes” but little good will result from your on-going efforts to rally Hillary’s staunch supporters around your chosen candidate instead of the people’s choice. Now, the Democrat Party leaders want women to get their pre- selected from the start, elite, wimp, Barack Obama elected in November. It will be cold day in hell before I comply and I also hope Hillary walks away from this Party. Most of the women, and many men as well, with whom I have contact are finished with the Democrat Party, now and forever. Also, many of “US” are starting a grassroots movement to insure these kind of sorry tactics employed by my now soon to be former party, never happen again. This clear favoring of Obama, making him the nominee because the party doesn’t want a woman, especially a Clinton woman, is more that I can tolerate. Of all the gall, the Democrat Party now expects “US” girls, including Hillary, to turn over our undying support to Obama. Sorry guys, this is not going to happen. Obama has no shot of winning in November without Hillary’s help and all of us, her supporters. Not on your life or in your wildest dreams is this going to happen. Democrat Party leaders take heed and you superdelegates had better wait to declare your support until the final results of all the primaries are tallied and the voices of all 50 states and territories are heard from. At that time, the real nominee of the people can be declared for the fall election. Let it be known that the damage has already been done to the largest voting block in America. However, it remains to be seen how deep these “bitterly disappointing and highly blatant attacks” are to women. In my mind, this is a travesty and affects all women of America. I for one will change my registration to Independent, and possibly Republican, on the day I vote for Hillary Rodham Clinton in the KY primary. Bye, bye and good riddance from Mary O’Bryan, Louisville, KY, to my former party, no matter what happens in the primaries left to come.
I UNDERSTAND YOUR PAIN; BUT SHE BROUGHT THAT ON HERSELF. MRS. CLINTON HAS NOT RUN THE BEST OF CAMPAIGNS: TOO MANY MISTAKES. FAULTY PERCEPTIOS. UNREALISTIC ASSESSMENT, SELECTIVE STRATEGY THAT ALIENATED SMALL STATES, UNWARRANTED ASSUMPTION THAT HER NOMINATION WAS A DONE DEAL BASED UPON THE HISTORY OF THE CLINTON ERA'S TRUE SUCCESS ON MANY FRONTS, AND THE LIST COULD GO ON AND ON. DO NOT TAKE IT SO PERSONAL. I AM VERY SYMPATHETIC TO THE IDEA OF HAVING A WOMAN PRESIDENT IN THIS COUNTRY; BUT I ALSO LIKE THE IDEA OF A MAN WHO REPRESENTS SO MUCH OF THE DIVERSITY IN THIS COUNTRY, AND I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I MEAN. PLEASE, DO NOT BRING UP ISSUES RELATED TO GUILT BY ASSOCIATION AND OTHER SHORTCOMINGS. ALL POLITICIANS ARE AT FAULT HERE: JUST REVIEW THE POLITICAL PROCESSES OF THE LAS 50 YEARS IN THE UNITED STATES. FINALLY, STOP CRYING OVER SPILLED MILK; PRAY THAT THEY BOTH WILL GO IN THE SAME TICKET AND THAT, IF SO, THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO OVERCOME THE BITTERNESS OF THIS CAMPAIGN AND UNITE THE PARTY FOR THE BEST.

It seems like you are giving the USA a terrorist threat? Well I for one wont be threatened or intimidated into voting for Barack Hussein Obama. Take that to the bank. You need to explain your remarks.

I switched to Independent last year, then switched back to democrat so I could vote in the Florida primary (Indepedents cannot vote in the FL primaries). I have no qualms about doing so again. That is not a threat...it was an easy decision to make.
Before you decide to "take me up on it", whatever that means, I implore you to take the time to read the following article. Only then will you be able to comprehend the extent the DNC will go to silence our voices.
