Poor little Michele. Why didn't you just say "No, I don't think Obama's views are anti-American?" that would have solved everything.

[no_hypocrisy]

1. I wouldn't give Chris Matthews that kind of credit.

[tekisui]

2. Keep digging Michelle McCarthy!

[MnFats]

3. Chris Matthews, playground bully. Right. Big, bad Chri Matthews

what can we glean from her comment that she'd never seen his show and didn't know what it was like?
that's like Sarah Palin never having read a newsapaper (at least, one who;s name she could recall.
sheesh but this people are weak.

[GodlessBiker]

4. Keep talking about it, sister, and dig deeper.

[curiousdemo]

27. She's a stupid little pea brain.....

now she lying and blaming others for her own lies. Just like a repuke....spare me... :nopity:

[JaneQPublic]

5. Responsibility? You're talking about the party that still blames Clinton for everything. (nt)

[lob1]

6. She's never seen Chris Matthews? Oh, Please!

So her defense is ignorance. Okay, she wins...she's ignorant.

spelling edit.

[sallyseven]

31. She was on before

or on another program and said a lot of the same things.

[Goblinmonger]

7. I don't even get how that's a defense.

Matthews asked if she thought Obama was un-American. She said yes. Did she not know the meaning of the words coming out of his mouth? She could have answered like a normal human being but instead she decided to go the Palin route and push the hate. How tricky of Matthews to somehow magically turn her into a douchebag.

[peace frog]

8. Dial Whine-1-1

and get this wingnut on the WAHmbulance, stat! :eyes:

[Mr_Jefferson_24]

9. Typical rethug...

...NEVER EVER accept responsibility, ALWAYS point the finger.

She's a wee bit tardy with the rehabilitation tour -- the damage has been done.

[desktop]

10. In other words she said Obama was anti American before he wasn't

The average person who watched Chris Mathews interview can see what a moronic liar she is. But her republican base will probably just buy right into her explanation. Hopefully the people of the middle in her district will see what a dangerous McCarthyite she is and vote accordingly.

[Ned_Devine]

11. First day on earth, dipshit?

If you are a Washington politician, then you know who the fuck Chris Matthews is. Weak sauce for an excuse.

As for the lack of an apology, what gives? You brought it up, the it being "anti-americanism". All Chris did was give you enough rope to hang yourself. You are woefully unqualified and unfit for an elected government office.

-Peace

[The Wielding Truth]

12. Lady, What about the congressional investigation into anti US

view? She was not tricked. She was given the freedom to express her views.

Her true nature was shown and it's not pretty.

[demoborn47]

13. not too quick eh?

IF a trap was laid, IF she was baited, she OBVIOUSLY lacks the intelligence to recognize what she claims was happening. Days pass, she realizes she totally f"kd up and now has to back peddle and eat her words. I don't feel sorry for ignorant morons.

OBAMA 08

[PatSeg]

14. Matthews was relentlessly persistent

in his questioning. I have seen him do this on rare occasions when he is trying to get someone to say rather than just infer what they really mean. In 2004 he went after Michelle Malkin doggedly when she "inferred" that Kerry was lying about his Vietnam Purple heart.

I've never seen him do this unless the other person is trying to imply something negative without really taking responsibility for it. He nailed Melanie Morgan once too - it was beautiful.

[Cherokee4Obama]

16. I agree

I was proud of Chris...that IS why the show is called Hardball

[PatSeg]

19. I've seen this tactic used unfairly by some TV

journalists, but in Matthews case he wasn't trying to get his guests to say anything they weren't implying and basically he's saying "enough is enough you fascist bitch, show your true colors!"

[Cherokee4Obama]

15. give me a farging break

Bachmann is Joe McCarthy in a skirt, not a martyr!

[dave123williams]

17. Yes. A trap was laid. Apparently, they snared a fucking idiot.

[graywarrior]

18. Another graduate from the Katherine Harris School of Cosmetology

[ksimons]

20. So, I keep hearing the 'N' word, therefore I can't HELP but use it myself ? Puhhhlease. Grow up.

Her lack of logic betrays her.

[ksimons]

21. Riddle:

Q. What do you call Michele Bachmann buried up to her neck in dirt?

A. I call it not enough dirt.





(need to at least cover that lying mouth of hers)

[VaYallaDawg]

22. Please, somebody tell me this bozo isn't really an elected congresswoman??

How could the people in that district elect such a dimwit??

[Number23]

23. Whoever did her makeup should be burned at the stake

It looks like instead of putting on blush, they just slapped the sh*t out of her.

[southpaw]

25. I agree... especially because it was likely Katherine Harris

[Hubert Flottz]

29. Earl Scheib?

After her collision on Hardball that would be my bet.

[wowimthere]

24. another phoney politician steps in it. Politicians are wordsmiths and she should

have known better. She meant to say what she said and she would be continuing down the anti-american sentiment if it had worked on her behalf but it didn't. She is stupid to think that we don't have a brain just because she didn't use her brain. McCarthite!

[AlbertCat]

26. Surely, little baby Jesus would not allow her to get trapped!

[Thorandmjolnir]

28. WOW. When I watched the interview,

I was actually stunned at how restrained Chris Matthews was. I thought he should have challenged her more on her views. But he just let her talk and talk without commenting on her views.

I am amazed that people like her can be elected to run this country. IF she is so easily fooled, how can anyone have any confidence in her as a legislature?

[Kalifornia.Kid]

30. Don Meredith said it best; "TURN OUT THE LIIIGGGHHHTS! THE PAR-TY'S OOOVER!!!

[lady lib]

32. He handed her the rope, stepped back and let her do the hanging.

nt

[Wetzelbill]

33. He didn't say much, for once. He let her talk and she sank herself

She just went off into crazy world and he let her do it.

[BrightKnight]

34. LOL - Every time she speaks I have an uncontrollable urge

to visit ActBlue.

[Lil Missy]

35. Oh, cry me a fucking river. If it's a Repuke, it's a "trap" or a "misunderstanding".

And of course, totally unfair.

But if a Dem said something half that stupid, (which they wouldn't, and haven't), it would be a Constitutional crisis.

Oh, fuck me sideways. :eyes:
