CM "I'm So Glad We Had That Storm Last Week"...

Dirtie_Frank

I do not care how he meant it, that was still in poor taste.

Bronx Bombers

Wow even for a piece of shit like him that is such a fucked up thing to say.

kenny olav

Yeah, that was a really dumb and insensitive thing to say. I was still up and watching MSNBC when he said at about 3am... and I knew right away it would become news the next day.

Moronic Statement

comebackgirl

Definitely fucked up. That's the last thing people who are still struggling need to hear. Very dismissive

classless, oversimplified, pompous, and he was terrible on Celebrity Jeopardy.

he is not worth listening to...he and O'donnell both should be fired for obnoxious behavior. Maddow is the only one worth a shit on that channel...I pretty much disagree with her about everything, but at least she is fair.

cincybearcat

Wow.

Stayed on air just a little too long. Not a good thing to say, but I am pretty sure he isn't pro-Hurricane.

and water is wet

Jack ass thing to say.

I like chris matthews generally but this was in poor taste.

JimmyV

Definitely in poor taste but I do think it was a result of having been on the air too long. He apologized profusely at the beginning of yesterday's Hardball.

I agree.

But I think the attention to it would have been very different had Sean Hannity said it.

But really, much ado about nothing. Not what he meant to say and sometimes we all say things that we regret after thinking about it more.

You might have a point about Hannity.

I was more disappointed earlier in the day when he said that people only have two choices. He called people stupid for voting 3rd party. He looked directly in the camera and said you have two choices.

category on Celebrity Jeopardy "six letter capitals"

Matthews answer "Istanbul"

I love that guy.

brianlux

He probably is down on himself for that comment and unhappy with himself as anyone. Thank God I have never made an erroneous, poorly worded statement or said anything I regret. :roll:

Like Cincy said how much would leniency would given to Fox if Romney won and they said they were glad Benghazi happened?

They would be crucified by the left and defended by the right. That said...I think some of them at Fox, deep down, are glad Benghazi happened. It just didn't have the same impact on the election they hoped it would. Just my opinion.

Here is Chris Matthews' apology from his show the next day:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4Cuzj7pFK4

I for one think he's sincere. I've seen this guy let himself get carried away for years... it's usually amusing, but this time it wasn't. But we all say things we don't mean the way they are said.

Probably one of the more sincere and well thought out apologies for saying something supremely moronic that I've heard.

He's been getting carried away for a while now, so, this is good to put him in his place a bit.

No arguement here.

I used to like Chris Matthews (probably 4-6 years ago). He seemed objective. He's now so over the top liberal it is difficult to watch and take him seriously.

I listened to a show recently where someone brought corporations and Chris Matthews blurted out "Corporations fire people!". Well, to fire someone that means they have to hire someone. They have to create a business that employs people. It is very sad, and very scary the direction this country is going where job creators are viewed as evil.

I'm nervous for what this country looks like in 10 years. Are we going to have riots like Europe when the government runs out of money?

1. Nobody thinks "job creators" are evil.

2. We are not "descending" into socialism.

When is this nonsense going to stop?

Here is my wildly, unsubstantiated speculation on this...
Chris Matthews is in the business of making money for himself... who isn't? He is in the same business ad Bill O'Reilly, Glenn Beck, Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Rachel Maddow, et.al. Their goal is to sell books and/or garner ratings to boost sponsorship.
Anyone who takes any of these people seriously... probably on the down side of the intelligence curve. These people are entertainers... that is why they are on television and/or radio. The crazier shit they say, the more publicity they get... good or bad, publicity is publicity and it sells.
Take them for what they are worth... just as you would take a singer or an actor. Because, the reality is... they are not here to inform us... informing us is OUR job, not theirs... they are here for our entertainment.

1. Nobody thinks "job creators" are evil.

When is this nonsense going to stop?

Is the US 16 trillion in debt? Yes.
Is there a record number of food stamp recipients? Yes.
Are social security and Medicare on their way to insolvency? Yes.
Do millions rely government to pay for their schooling?
Do millions rely on unemployment benefits? Yes.
Is the country at 7.9% unemployment with most new jobs part-time? Yes.
Are millions not even bothering to look for work anymore? Yes.

So, when the debt gets to 20 trillion and then 25 trillion, and employment does not improve, and more people are looking for social security, medicare, healthcare, and unemployment benefits, what happens when the money runs out?

I never used the word socialism. I'm just looking at the debt, and all of the programs the government has. What happens when the cash runs out? You can double the tax rates and won't put a dent in the budget or debt.

Obama increased the debt by 5 trillion with no tangible job growth. You expect me to believe that Obama is going to cut the deficit. I learned from the last four years and voted accordingly.

What happens when the money runs out?

I agree. I believe Chris Matthews had to become more liberal to survive on MSNBC with Olbermann and Maddow getting all the ratings.
