Tweety: "SOCIALIST!!!! SOCIALIST!!!! SOCIALIST!!!! Red-Baiting every guest he has on.

[99th_Monkey]

What a useless tool, an obnoxious fool, an inveterate blabber-mouth spewing nonsensical
Red-baiting bullshit. Constantly saying "Bernie's NOT Democratic, not a Democrat!!!..

[Ken Burch]

1. Chris Matthews: The Last Democrat-For-Nixon. n/t.

[Romulox]

2. What his DU poster name? I've heard all that same crap right here. nt

[pennylane100]

5. I do not know his name here but

I remember many years ago when Salon was first founded, he was referred to as "pigs vomit"

[Romulox]

6. What a disgustingly apt moniker! nt

[Mike Nelson]

3. Bernie has switched party ID...

...and is now a Democrat. Read it here from a couple of Sanders supporters. Welcome to the party, Bernie! ...and please tweet Tweety with the good news!

[Ferd Berfel]

4. I think Punkingal said it best in another post: Tweety is a Piece of shit.

remember FOX-BLOCKER ? that little device you connected to your cable to block the FOX channel?

Time for M$NBC-BLOCKER !

[Punkingal]

20. Thanks, Ferd! Glad you agree.

Olberman was suspended once from MSNBC for contributing to some candidate, but Tweety is allowed to shill for Hillary as if he is on her staff. It's disgusting.

[Ferd Berfel]

22. THe Right-wing (of both parties) have special dispensation

[merbex]

7. You do know that Chris Matthews wife is running for Congress as Democrat? And she is supporting HRC?

Every time he speaks of Sanders I have this image in my brain that some Democratic consultant have told Mr and Mrs Matthews that 'socialism' will KILL down ticket candidates.

He's a troll for his wife without telling us, the viewers, that his wife is running for Congress.

The epitome of establishment insider politics at work.

He is no journalist.

9. "epitome of establishment insider politics at work. He is no journalist." <-- THIS. nt

[Ferd Berfel]

23. NO, he's not a journalist. He's a corporate stooge.

Get used to it if you're going to chew up your time watching that crap

[Armstead]

13. See Post 12

[Ken Burch]

15. I didn't know that, actually. It explains a few things.

Then again, the other day he was bashing McGovern for "crushing Muskie&quot when, in truth, Muskie's failure in '72 was entirely the fault of the Nixon dirty tricks squad and Muskie's inability to build a NATIONAL campaign organization for the '72 primaries. McGovern was blameless, and McGovern did nothing to deserve being cut loose by the national Dems in the fall).

8. I know i just watched that

disaster brought back memories of the 70s and 80s.....

[Baitball Blogger]

10. Has anyone ever noticed that the only times that this country comes together is

in response to an attack from a foreign entity, or whenever socialist-like programs reach out to those in need?

We are most at each other's throat at peak Capitalist eras.

[ViseGrip]

11. Tweety knows who pays for his house. They are all told. Gads, I'd find another living....

[Armstead]

12. Tweety -- "Am,ericans want a GUY as president"

A trip down the Tweety memory hole.

Tweety on George Bush in May 2003, praising him for the Iraq War:


MATTHEWS: We're proud of our president. Americans love having a guy as president, a guy who has a little swagger, who's physical, who's not a complicated guy like Bill Clinton or even like ormer Democratic presidential candidates Dukakis or Mondale, all those guys, McGovern. They want a guy who's president. Women like a guy who's president. Check it out. The women like this war. I think we like having a hero as our president. It's simple. We're not like the Brits. We don't want an indoor prime minister type, or the Danes or the Dutch or the Italians, or a [Russian Federation President Vladimir] Putin. Can you imagine Putin getting elected here? We want a guy as president.

[noiretextatique]

17. i remember his breathless gushing over that clown

no credibility whatsoever

[cali]

18. What a filthy pig he is.

[BigGLiberal]

14. That's just a taste of what the GOP would do to him.

[lovuian]

16. It's not going to work

he's so wrong

[NCTraveler]

19. Some are missing what I believe to be the big picture.

We have a serious candidate running who unabashedly calls himself a Democratic Socialist. The whole country is seeing there is nothing scary about him or his ideas.

Every time these people say socialist it takes some of the fear away from the populace with respect to being open to a conversation about Democratic Socialism. It is how movements work and there seems to be only one group who don't want the word repeated. I simply can't figure that out.

While you yell red baiting from the rooftops, which is accurate, I'm going to cheer it on. I think Sanders main positive contribution to this primary is the they're making the thought of going in that direction more acceptable.

One of the movements greatest ways to be effective is to have the talking heads repeat it over and over again. Cheer them on.

[Punkingal]

21. Yes, you may be right...it's called desensitization....

"In psychology, desensitization is defined as the diminished emotional responsiveness to a negative or aversive stimulus after repeated exposure to it. It also occurs when an emotional response is repeatedly evoked in situations in which the action tendency that is associated with the emotion proves irrelevant or unnecessary."
