Matthews Accuses Another Republican of Being Under 'Hypnosis'
Chris Matthews must be really pleased with himself, after accusing Rep. Michele Bachmann of being under hypnosis, in his now famous election night skirmish with the Minnesota Congresswoman, as he attached that description to yet another Republican on Thursday night's Hardball. After noting that Ben Quayle won his congressional race, Matthews went on to play a clip of one of his ads, after which he blurted: "God. Is he under hypnosis?"
Matthews also took a dig at Ben Quayle's father calling him "infamous" as seen in the following item aired during the "Sideshow" segment from the November 4 Hardball:
(video after the jump)
CHRIS MATTHEWS: Next, meet the freshmen. Republican Ben Quayle, son of the former infamous Vice President Dan Quayle came out with perhaps the most laughable and hyperbolic campaign ad of 2010. Let's remember it now. Here it is.
(Begin ad clip)
BEN QUAYLE: Barack Obama is the worst president in history. Somebody has to go to Washington and knock the Hell out of the place.
(End clip)
MATTHEWS: God. Is he under hypnosis? Anyway Quayle now gets his chance. He won his Arizona House race by 12 points Tuesday night.

Someone should hypnotize

Someone should hypnotize Matthews so he would stop saying stupid things.

I wouldn't even call them bullies. They are more akin to the guy at the bar that once he's gotten a few too many drinks in his system decides he's the toughest guy around and wants to prove it. The libs got drunk on power, felt they were the toughest but got their collective ass handed to them and now they are whining with a hangover.

I love how Bachmann before just stuck to her goals after being elected, and completely ignored Matthews freaking psychotic line of questions. I think he was asking about "arresting people for unAmerican activities" or whatever the hell that means. Apparently Communists worry about that stuff. It was bizarre.
By the way, does Matthews look like he shat his pants in that picture.

Did Dan Quayle in four years commit more gaffes than Joe Biden in his two years as VP? No, Biden committed many many more, yet he doesn't get a tenth of the ridicule heaped on Dan. Oh, Chrissy, obviously alot of Ben's voters seem to agree that Obama is the worst President (though I wouldn't go that far yet-but is in top five worst, yes).

Actually, if you think about it, he's the first one who they Palinized. In other words, the ENTIRE Left as one turned and directed all their attacks on him.
Small potatoes~
Submitted by GG_NB on Fri, 11/05/2010 - 8:56am.
Really, the biggest thing they glommed onto to crucify Quayle was that he spelled "potato" wrong. I believe he added an "e" to it in a classroom. So what? He was probably thinking of the plural form of the word anyway. If you tested the entire U.S. population on that word, I bet at least 40% would make the same mistake.
Yeah, he was Palinized.

Thrills and Tingles
Submitted by Beukeboom on Fri, 11/05/2010 - 9:29am.
That "thrill" and "tingle" Matthews feels from time to time (mini-strokes?) have apparently affected his judgment (what little he has) since he's getting more and more bizarre in his lame accusations. What's next, Chris? Conservatives are under mind control of Martians? Atlantis invading Florida? The Cubs win the World Series?
Here's what I think...
Submitted by notinstl on Fri, 11/05/2010 - 8:48am.
MSNBC got KILLED in the election ratings and even liberal media noticed how pathetic and skewed the coverage was. Matthews has lower ratings than ED SCHULTZ in his first hour.
I think BIG changes will be coming to MSNBC and Matthews will be left behind...thus, he's got to get his shots in now while he still has a forum and 2 to 3 viewers.

I love how that whiny little girl Matthews felt the need to tell everone, " I never really used the word tingle". Just like Palin never said," I can see Russa from my front porch." And yet she never cried about the MSM or SNL misquoting her. In fact she turned it around on them and said in October, " I can see November from my house".
Shows what a week sister Matthews can be.

He's utterly ridiculous. And he's got no other tricks to use. He's got nothing else to say. He'll throw out anything to deflect -- anything to stay in his bubbleheaded state of denial -- anything to blame -- anything to avoid the truth. He's propaganda all the way.
And Obama isn't doing much better. First it was: "oh, you all just don't understand what we are trying to do. We have not communicated it enough." Now it's: "Oh, we were just so darn busy getting all this emergency stuff done that I was in a bubble and didn't understand how you really felt about it."
Spare me!!!!
