As usual, he just read the headline on Rush's

website,or heard about the headline and didn't

read what was actually said.   If anyone says

anything bad about someone who puts a thrill

up his leg, he's gonna knock them. 

This from Tingle up his leg Matthews....that has stated on his show it's his job to see that O succeeds...

Give me a friggin' break!

Too rich.

Btw...I listen to Rush everyday if I get the chance....I agree totally with him here, it would do creatures well to listen to him before making asses of themselves like Matthews does daily.

As an aside...Rush is going to be on Hannity's how tonight, Part 1, Part 2 Thursday. 

Mathews proves in his outrage about this that the left just doesn't get it.  Rush loves this country, its people like Mathews who voted for massive "change" that thought the way it was and has been is not good enough.

I do wish that Rush and others could word their opposition to Obama and his government intrusive policies with an eye towards sounding a little more sensitive to good people who are truly hurting in this economic downturn. I wish he would say, "I hope the economy gets better despite Barak Obama and the Democrats meddling" - or words to that effect. Today, he sort of dismissed a loyal listener/caller who was worrying about her and her fellow business owners chances of staying in business. He told her that Obama's policies would hurt them in the long run. The thing is, she (and me and others) are worried about making it to the long run.  I don't sit around thinking that what Obama is doing will help us (we have to do that) - but Rush should know that a lot of people are dealing with this economic mess in reality and not just in the abstract.

The "Mainstream" Media: By liberals. For liberals.

Matthews is a rabid supporter of a Marxist/socialist president, therefore, he supports Marxism, a freedom-killing, dignity-robbing, evil form of government that is diametrically opposed to every single principle this nation was founded upon.

Marxism is not what made this nation great, but Marxism will probably be what ultimately destroys it.

Chris Matthews is a fool, and about the only other person I think that may hate this country more than he is Bill Ayers.

I am getting really sick of this! All
of a sudden we are all suppose to completely agree with the
President, after hearing for the last eight years about how dissent
is the highest form of patriotism. I agree with Rush, I hope he fails
because I am against what he wants to accomplish, just like Matthews
wanted President Bush to fail because he was against what he wanted
to accomplish. It is called politics!

... about Chris TINGLE.  If I ever met him, I swear, it would take every ounce of strength in me NOT TO give him a KNUCKLE SANDWICH.

I've never heard anybody say they wanted a new president to fail.
Usually you want the new president to succeed and then later on you
argue the politics of what he or she does. But to want them to fail at
the outset?

I think he needs to go back and review the reporting and blogging from the time between the 2000 election and the 2001 inauguration.  He only "never heard" it if his ears were sealed back then.

I recognize your right to believe, without ridicule, that there is no God.  I do not recognize any right for you to ridicule my belief in God.

I hope the new president DOES A GOOD JOB.  To me, the president can accomplish this and still implement major agenda items by

• applying market-based principles to any plan to broaden health insurance coverage
• ensuring that any carbon tax is REVENUE NEUTRAL, keeping revenues and expenditures in the range of 20% of GDP
• recognizing need for a massive nuclear power initiative
• leaving Iraq only when its stability is assured 
• using his supposed goodwill with the world community (especially Germany and Russia) to tighten the screws on Iran
• removing citizenship as an option in an amnesty plan for illegal aliens (thereby being compassionate but imposing a serious penalty)

If he proceeds along these lines, he will be doing a good job and I will hope such plans succeed.

Matthews and the NSM remind me of the Vichi French. A bunch of Cowards.

Please don't hurt me!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

I can honestly say I feel stupider for having read this.

But we all know there are the liberalism puppets out there tearing their clothes and covering their heads with ash, screaming about how hateful Mr. Limbaugh is, in full view of the public so as to garner sympathy.

Chris Matthews is getting to be more and more ignorant on a minute-by-minute basis, I declare.

Liberate tutume ex inferis, liberal puppets.

This is absurd.  The Democrat party (and I include the msm in that group as well) has been openly hoping for Bush's failure for eight years!  They have been rooting for the economy to faulter (it finally did thanks largely to them), for a loss in Iraq (they would have had that if they had their way), high energy prices (that they could blame on Bush and his "oil buddies"), etc.   Is there one thing the Dems wanted to go well over the past two Bush terms?  They shot down SS reform, shot down energy reform, shot down Bush's methods for keeping us safe; they shot down everything that could have made a difference.  In terms of Iraq, they declared the war to be lost on several occasions and were openly hostile to the C.I.C.  How many lives did these shenanigans cost in Iraq by further emboldening the enemy and encouraging more suicide bombings to further demoralize us?

When Bush's approval ratings were > 70% after 9/11, the Democrats concocted a strategy to bring Bush down.  They knew that, if those numbers remained, they had no chance of regaining power in D.C. anytime soon--in the legislature or the Oval Office.  From that point on, virtually everything they have done has been expressly designed to destroy Bush and ensure that he left no legacy upon which Republicans could leverage.  The media has been complicit in this.  They even tried to blame a hurricane on the man--and with great success at that!  Anyone who does not see through this charade is not paying attention, a complete liberal partisan or is simply a fool.  Unfortunately, there are enough people in this country that fit into one of these three categories, and thus the Dems control everything.

I used to ask liberals this question: Given the choice, which would you prefer?:

A: America kicks butt in Iraq and George Bush is vindicated and shown to have great vision

B: America loses in Iraq and GWB is left in disgrace.

Which do you think they preferred?

Who hates America?

HOW COULD MATTHEWS SAY THAT?

Is Rush the new target for the left to hate?  I don't get it.

I did I hear correct: "I just tried to imagine my daddy as president."  First a thrill up his leg, now Barack's his daddy! OMG LMAO!

THANK GOD FOR CONSERVATIVE MOVEMENT! GOD BLESS THE FORMER PRESIDENT! AND GOD BLESS AMERICA!

so matthews wants to take on rush. is he that stupid or what?

    Palin/Malkin 

I believe that obama is and always be a failure in spite of the coronation. I do want his administration to succeed in two areas. Keeping Americans safe, which I don't think obama wants to do, and getting the economy back on track. I want them to fail in everything else they try to push through.

but the twit Matthews is trying to convince his audience that Rush hates America. His audience of 10 consists of morons who think Obama is the second coming.

Rush Limbaugh is a true American and doesn't suffer from idol worship.

Matthews was rooting for Bush to fail since day one.  Loudly. LOUDLY. OUT LOUD....and while spitting. Jerk.

 The conduct of war along with it's morals and ethics and principles goes back nearly to the beginnings of the human race. There are rules and they have been refined over dozens and dozens of centuries. You meet your enemy on the battlefield. You wear uniforms. You do not target civilians. You treat your prisoners honorably.

 And when the war is over, you release your prisoners to resume their normal lives either as professional soldiers or civilians. With the presumptian that they had fought for their country, and will FIGHT NO MORE.

 The men we have in Guantanamo have no particular compunction to follow any of the rules of war. They do not fight for a country, they fight for an ideology. They do not wear uniforms. They do not engage our military on a battlefield. They specifically TARGET CIVILIANS. And as has been proven OVER and OVER again, when released, they rejoin the fight.

 These are some of the nastiest, most vicious little cowards the planet has produced. They rightly should have been shot where they stood on the battlefield. But we DO follow the rules, rules we did not write but follow on general principle.

 What is our illustrious leader's VERY FIRST ACT? The COMMANDER IN CHIEF of all of our military?

 "Let's hold off on giving some of these cowards their just due for 4 months. Let's take a second look here. Maybe we are being too mean to men that try to kill unarmed civilians. Hmmmm. Hold off there."

  HIS VERY FIRST ACT!

  No. I hope he fails too.

Here is an idea, why doesn't The Thrill play "Hardball" with Rush. Invite him on for an hour and discuss it with him face to face. It could make a great pay-per-view speical. How many ways to Sunday would Rush pick Chrissy apart?
Note to all: do not hold your breath waiting for Chrissy to invite Rush on. I doubt Rush would go on any way, but it's fun to imagine.

"Well Rush must have a lot of acorns squirreled away not to share everyone else's hopes that the economy does come back."

Well Chris, at least Rush has nuts.  Bet you are jealous.

First off here's what Rush actually said (from the Hannity transcript):

"So I shamelessly say, no, I want him to fail, if
his agenda is a far- left collectivism, some people say socialism, as a
conservative heartfelt, deeply, why would I want socialism to succeed?"

chris matthews, open your beady little eyes someday, when you can tear them away from the shirtless obama picture you have your bed, and ACTUALLY READ SOMETHING IN FREAKING CONTEXT!  

[edit] And what kind of a**hole of a father would use his kids for "political capital"?  What does his kids have to do with his socialist agenda?

I just think it's so ironic that for eight years, fundies like all of y'all were saying the same thing to anyone that questioned Bush. It's kind of sad that the irony is lost on you.

 I can't tell you how many times I heard phrases like, "Why do you hate our troops?" whenever someone questioned the Iraq conflict. Any discussion on terrorism was decided by some wingnut telling me, "You hate America, don't you?" It wasn't Bush himself that suppressed free speech and quashed dissent - it was the common Republican on the street shouting down any real discussion. It was people like y'all throwing around stereotypes, false dilemmas and plain old ignorance.

 What I'm saying, guys, is that you're all just getting a taste of your own medicine. Rush is being accused of hating America for making a somewhat valid point. Do you know how many left-wingers, progressives and dissenters got the same treatment by people like you during the Bush Regime?

What's unfortunate is that you aren't taking the time to stop and think, "So this is how it feels. This is what we did to them." I don't think Republicans have any idea what kind of damage they themselves have done to polite, calm political discourse in this country. 

You see...when I was a child, any time I hit or hurt someone, my father would slap me in the back of the head and say, "Hurts doesn't it?" I learned not to be cruel to people because I reflected on the pain my father inflicted on me.

That's what's happening to all of you now. Get used to it - but more importantly, get over it. You are reaping what you have all sewn.

He, like the rest of us, hates you.
