While concluding a segment on racism involved in anti-Obama protests, MSNBC Hardball host Chris Matthews promoted the book of one of his guests, liberal historian Douglas Brinkley, and proceeded to rant: "There’s so much right-wing crap on the best seller list these days. It’s great to see a book that you might want to put on your shelf and let your respected friends see you actually reading."
Brinkley’s book, Teddy Roosevelt: The Wilderness Warrior, did make the New York Times best seller list, coming in at twenty one. However, the list’s top ten was dominated by "right-wing crap." Michelle Malkin’s Culture of Corruption, takes the top spot. Bill O’Reilly’s A Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity comes in at number six, with Mark Levin’s Liberty and Tyranny at number seven. Dick Morris’s Castrophe earned a number eight ranking.
Matthews made a point of saying to Brinkley: "It’s great to see one book on the best seller list that’s worth reading these days. And yours is." Apparently readers seem to think conservative literature is worth reading a little more.

September 19, 2009 - 10:14 ET by adamsmithIf Matthews and the rest of the useless media actually reported unbiased news, there wouldn't be so many books in the top ten of the NYT.....
I'd like to see Wayne Allen Root's book, "Conscience of a Libertarian"(based on Barry Goldwater's "Conscience of a Conservative" 1959) on that list...Root is running for President on the Libertarian ticket...His is the most dangerous book there is to Liberals and Conservatives who are not conservative. If you read one political book this year, this one is it...I also highly recommend Jonah Goldberg's "Liberal Facism". Between these two, you get a look at an America as it should be, as in the one created by the Founders......
Wayne Allen Root????

Who am I to decide to end another human's life? It doesn't matter that it grows in MY body. It is a human body that has a right to life. Period.
Inconvenient as it may be, I cannot, should not, be allowed to decide the fate of that human.

September 19, 2009 - 20:02 ET by celatorKata.. just like to add one book to your list: "The 5,000 Year Leap". Terrific read about how this country made 5,000 years of progress in 200 years in the areas of freedom, individual rights, etc., because of the genius of the Founding Fathers. Explains clearly why the USA is indeed special and exceptional in world history.
Beck recommended it some time ago, so I read it, and was really pleased. I've given away five copies in the past few months.

September 18, 2009 - 21:52 ET by ThisnThatIt's the whole elitist snobbery thing. A lib can't, apparently, buy a book for its contents, and simply sit down and enjoy it. It's all about pointing to it, and seeing if everyone else has it, so they can ooh and aah. And then look down their nose at others, saying "Hrumph. Are you telling me you didn't read this? It just shows how unintelligent you really are".
What did the news readers gawk about during Obama's vacation preparations? Why, his reading list, of course. AND THEY APPROVED IT. Yes they did. “Presidential historian Douglas Brinkley said the list shows that Obama 'has exquisite taste."
The snobbery is so thick you can cut it with a knife.

Matthews is pathetic.
September 18, 2009 - 18:42 ET by ThalpyMatthews is pathetic. From all I've heard, the Brinkley book on Teddy Roosevelt is quite good. However, what does that have to do with the other books and their proper assessment of the Left's political and moral bankruptcy? Brinkley's other work defending John Kerry and trying to promote him as a viable Presidential candidate ranks right along with Matthews' suspect behavior as a teen aged Obama groupie.

September 18, 2009 - 20:33 ET by RayRayif a book is written by a liberal politician, then the Dem machine orders the troops to buy that book and that's now become a big way to make rich those whose lives/careers were supposedly about helping the downtrodden.
Meanwhile, the poor are very soon getting whacked with Obama's car tire tax. Then there was the cigarette tax and the upcoming soda tax. The poor who can't afford health insurance will get fined by the feds.

Definition of a Liberal?
September 18, 2009 - 22:52 ET by Teamcheeser"...a book that you might want to put on your shelf and let your respected friends see you actually reading."
This speaks volumes to me.
1. Chris Matthews puts books on his shelf that he believes will impress his friends.
2. It's more important that his friends are viewed as "respected" and not that he respects his friends, or his friends respect him.
This defines almost every liberal I know, unfortunately. Who they are and what they are all about doesn't matter to them. It's all about how others perceive them.
I have never put a book on my shelf because I thought my respected friends might enjoy seeing it there. Or think better of me because it's there. Or... whatever.
I can't even relate to that, really. How incredibly odd...
Respect
September 18, 2009 - 23:10 ET by saw the lightGood points. I do have a book or two on my shelves to impress someone, mainly my brother when he comes to visit. OK, not to impress but to counteract his liberal leanings. The are My Grandfather's Son, Liberty and Tyranny, and Unfit for Command, among others.

Just Wondering
September 19, 2009 - 03:20 ET by DoktorFrankenI wonder. Does Chrissy ever leave the studio? Does he sleep on a cot in the janitor's closet and wash up in the bucket sink? Do the people in the studio pump him up with a mixture of caffeine and face powder just before he goes on camera? He leans over and drools and spits and, on occasion, makes a slightly coherent sentence. But not that often. Usually it's only, ''We'll be back after these messages.''
MSNBC is such a unique organization in that it never broadcasts any newsworthy items and it never really reaches a level of competence equal to a ''fake news'' show like SNL's Weekend Update. It sort of like a 24/7 ''The View''.

Well, gee whiz, Tingly,
September 19, 2009 - 17:23 ET by MikeBWell, gee whiz, Tingly, maybe folks would rather read "Right-Wing Crap" than left-wing crap. With Michelle's Culture of Corruption on the top of the NYT bestseller list for 5 weeks straight, that means a lot of people might want the people they respect to see them reading the book. What a marroon!

September 19, 2009 - 19:14 ET by NotFondOfLibsDoes anything this fools says matter? His programs is at the bottom of the barrel. Anyone who says this guy was ever a journalist needs psychiatric treatment because mathews certainly needs some. I don't think he has the intestinal fortitude to say his trash to guys like Mark Levin or classy females like Michelle Malkin. Michelle would probably whip up on him.
Right-wing crap

September 20, 2009 - 19:45 ET by danybhoyHey, don't slag pro wrestling by compairing it to the MSM. Don't think for a moment that the beatoffs at CNN or MSLSD would'nt kill for the ratings that Monday Night Raw gets.
Besides, wrestling ain't as predictable as say, MSLSD. Their lineup is probably more scripted then the WWE. Come to think of it, that would apply to President ACORN as well.

Matthews Who???
September 21, 2009 - 07:26 ET by ObamaSuxCan Matthews' jealousy be ANY more obvious!?!?! WOW! I guess repeatedly having the LOWEST ratings of ALL cable news programs tends to grate on his nerves...Mr. thrill up his leg has no place to go; even though he cheered for Obama and jeered Palin, he's not received a bump in viewers...wait maybe 2 more people now watch him to give him an audience of 11. MSNBC...what a freaking joke, such a waste of electricity to put this sh*t on the air!
