Matthews Snipes At Scarborough For Strolling House Floor
Professional jealousy, or something of a more personal sort? Chris Matthews sniped at Joe Scarborough today as his MSNBC colleague, exercising his privilege as a former congressman, strolled the House floor during the session culminating in the installation of John Boehner as Speaker.
Kvetched Chris: "What do you think of the rule that allows former members like Joe Scarborough to walk around the floor with such impunity, John Harris? We're looking at him on camera here . . . I've never seen such casualness."
Harris, of Politico, seeming to sense the ambient animosity, stayed out of the fray. This isn't the first time that bad blood has broken out between Matthews and Scarborough, as here, here and here.

Watch Chris get catty.
CHRIS MATTHEWS: What do you think of the rule that allows former members like Joe Scarborough to walk around the floor with such impunity, John Harris? We're looking at him on camera here.
ANDREA MITCHELL: That's always been the rule.
MATTHEWS: I know. I'm kidding. I'm teasing.
But was he? John Harris seemed to be sensing Matthews' hostility.
JOHN HARRIS: Joe Scarborough, he's a colleague of yours on MSNBC, isn't he, Chris? I'm in favor of whatever he wants. You've got to work this out among yourselves.
MATTHEWS: He is, he is. I've never seen such casualness [inaudible] here." He is table-hopping with abandon down there, saying hello to everybody on the Democratic side.

Since it is the same rule that keeps YOU from walk around the floor with such impunity, Crissy, I think it's a GREAT rule!

Granted, being married with children, as Matthews is, doesn't constitute irrefutable proof of being straight. But do you have any evidence to the contrary?
Gee, Mark

I didn't know I needed any. When was the last time Prissy had "irrefutable proof" of any of the bilge he pumps every night to his audience of 1232, including his boy friends.
No, I don't have "irrefutable proof" of that either. Tango Sierra, Mike Foxtrot.

I have now apologized all over the place to the ah, soul under discussion, but it really ain't my style so I probably just made them madder than Elmer Fudd at "dat wabbit." (now they'll think I'm taking a shot at Barney Fwank with the Elmer Fudd crack) I told you I'm not too good at this stuff.
For my information, is it OK to say that Barney is gay since he's very proud of the fact? Hey, not that there's anything wrong with it!
BTW, I'm beginning to worry about you, Jer. You are starting to sound like you're slowly drifting over to the dark conservative side, lately.

And I took bubba's post as just being snarky at Chris the Thriller Matthews. The foxtrot... was a bit over the line but still, just being snarky. I have been know to do that. Matthews does seem to have a thing for the hopeful changer, not that there's anything wrong with that, but that's just me. Oh, and he hates on hot, conservative women, just sayin'... : )

Shhhhh...I've got an image to protect. But you're (mostly) right about the back and forth, although not when it escalates to the all-out verbal brawl stage.
On a more serious note, the Prissy Chrissy business seems to be pretty standard fare here and I wasn't so concerned about that. But I cannot imagine a lib poster getting away with telling a senior contributor TSMF--even if couched in military jargon. I think he would be outta here before he knew what hit him. I'm approaching four years at NB and I still don't know the rules.

Calling people names is a good way to vent in place of entering into physical violence, whether you like the method or not, whether you believe it or not, or whether you engage in it or not.
You telling me that you do not call others names when you disagree with what they have to say about, oh, I dunno, their religion, for instance, if their beliefs happen to be different than yours?
You say "combative conservatives" only make things worse.
Does that mean that someone who "fights" for their religious beliefs only makes things worse?

It's a matter of integrity, at the end of the day. If you don't like a tactic another group uses, don't use it in your own--and definitely don't use it to attack them.
Conservative positions should be won or lost in the arena of ideas. Turning an issue debate into a schoolyard name-calling game--ooh, over the Internet, even!--accomplishes precisely nothing. Except to give more substance to accusations of "conservative hypocrisy."

Yeah, I can totally see how you can equate that with calling Matthews all kinds of personal, foul names. Which is what you accused me of.
You're so full of your own pride you can't even be honest enough to admit that I've never slurred the man. Ever. If it weren't for NB, I still wouldn't know the man existed, and I've never said a single nasty thing about him. I just don't care, and it's not my style, anyway. But go on lying about me.
That's a typically liberal tactic.
Submitted by Mike Bratton on Wed, 01/12/2011 - 3:36pm.
Attempting to redefine the parameters that allow your outrage is, frankly, disappointing.
It's a war. So, in a war, you do what you must, even use the tactics of your enemy. So, it's fine to slur and lie about one's enemy--in this case, Matthews.
That's your thread. And you don't back up from it. And I didn't "accuse" you of anything; I responded to what you wrote. If you have nothing better to offer, then you have nothing better to offer. Nevertheless, conservatives should have something better to offer, since conservatism itself does.

Some of us have concerns for people who choose to be foul-mouthed and pugilistic while anonymous, yet completely the opposite when in plain view. You, whoever you are, no doubt have much more self-control when the words are coming out of your mouth instead of out of your keyboard, which is why we won't, thankfully, hear a profanity-laden MP3 from you.
Please remember Proverbs 13:3, which says "He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction." That verse sums up what I've said for several years around here--people who self-identify as conservatives do more damage to themselves, and to conservatism, by speaking and writing with the same emotional, personality-driven rhetoric liberals use. Matthews was out of line, but stooping to his level is not only bad for one's back, but shows someone to be just as despicable as Matthews.

You are the authority on conservatism and have done a great job speaking out against other conservatives. I think your next task should be to use your authority on Christianity to speak out against war analogies in Christianity. You should start with Ephesians 6:10-18. That whole armor of God thing takes away from the service of our soldiers right Mike?
The technical term for what you're doing, sentry...
Submitted by Mike Bratton on Fri, 01/14/2011 - 12:27pm.
...is "grasping at straws." Not to mention the fact that you're attempting, vainly, to use the Bible as a brickbat against a Christian.
Why, I think I've even mentioned somewhere before that Biblical references to spiritual warfare, and its attendant analogies, are (if you've bothered to actually do more research than yank out one quote) very, very appropriate because spiritual warfare is very, very real.
Like it or not, whoever you are, there are standards to conservatism. Not mine, but standards that have actually been around awhile. And if you've been reading along, I haven't spoken out "against other conservatives," but against trash talk that is done by people who self-identify as conservatives.
And perhaps you didn't notice, but Tim Graham had a nice article on some of the overheated invective published by DKos bloggers. Fascinating reading. However, if we as NewsBusters bloggers shouldn't have to adhere to a higher standard, then what's Tim doing except being part of the pot calling the kettle black?

Was it Straw or a Brickbat Mike?

Time for the Mike Bratton Dance.
You are not a Christian Mike. Not according to my terms for a Christian so I did not use the Bible as a brickbat against a Christian. You are not a christian or a "christian". How much research would I need to do to use your word about war analogies against you? The one I replied to? Sorry Mike, you are not important enough to research.
Next Mike, I would like to inform you that you are not a Conservative. Not according to my term for Conservative. You may not even rate conservative, "conservative" or "so called conservative". Alinsky's Rule 4: Make opponents live up to their own book of rules. “You can kill them with this, for they can no more obey their own rules than the Christian church can live up to Christianity.” You seem to be a fan. It's fun huh?
This whole high horse you are sitting on because you use your real name (allegedly, see previous comment about you not being important enough to research) like it gives you some kind of edge against those you argue with, not working. We all know that a REAL Conservative wouldn't even bring that up since it is meaningless. Don't you always say to focus on the issues? Is my real identity an issue?
Last thing Mike.....WE are NOT NewsBusters BLOGGERS, we are simply commenting. As long as Tim Graham doesn't publish the bile that the DKOS BLOGGERS publish, he can call the kettle black all day long.
Thank you for highlighting my concerns.
Submitted by Mike Bratton on Fri, 01/14/2011 - 2:58pm.
Since I'm not working from personal definitions, and have never even implied I was doing anything along those lines, your screed really didn't have a lot of heft behind it. Your opinion doesn't change the fact that conservatism is about ideas, and your cluelessness about Christianity doesn't have an effect on the saving relationship I have with Jesus Christ.
Yes, those of us who are Christians are incapable of living up to the standards set forth in the Bible--but that is what's worth celebrating. God has done all the heavy lifting! He has reconciled us to Himself through the finished work of Christ, and He is working in our lives to make us more like Christ.
But, I digress.
Again, thanks for illustrating the problems inherent in positions such as your own. Interesting that you want to insist liberal bloggers at DKos should be held to a higher standard than posters at NewsBusters. How, exactly, does that work?

If you condemn me for speaking invectives, are you not under the same condemnation for talking trash, I repeat, trash about the Mormons, a people I respect and admire for their industry, their honesty, and their family values?
Can you possibly understand that when you spew bile like that against another faith, and likewise, against other conservatives, that you have zero credibility?

I've "condemned" no one, thanks. I've offered the outlandish proposition that conservatives ought to aspire to a higher standard that liberal name-calling.
Neither have I spoken "trash" about anyone. Period.
Since you're so hung up on a refutation of Mormonism, let me make a suggestion to you: Illustrate where a single fact I've reported about the group is objectively, factually, incorrect.
Just one. Shouldn't be difficult, since I've put so much "bile" out on the subject.
And while you're examining my statements on the group, perhaps you'll take a moment to reflect on another fact, that the recent statements you've personally made to me are far more bilious than the objective facts I've related about Mormonism, facts I relate out of an honest concern for their eternal well-being.

There you have it.
Bratton makes mention of "the standards to conservatism" without citing them; but allows himself, in the self-assigned role as both judge and jury of what is or is not conservative thought and verbiage, the latitude to imply that self-identification as a conservative is not sufficient unto the day.

Always claiming victory from the bottom of the hole he has dug for himself. Conservatism is about ideas, yet you rarely put them forth. Your regular gig is to move from blog to blog whining about conservatives not living up to the standards set by....??whoever Mike agrees with?? I think the only ideas we get from you is that you decide who and who is not Christian and using your real name means you are the default winner in any debate.
I may very well be clueless next to the great theologian/conservative Mike Bratton but as you said, God has done the heavy lifting. I wish you actually believed that because then we might not have to read any more posts from you telling us who and who is not a Christian.
How exactly did I illustrate problems with my position? What was my position? Don't worry, it's easy. You, Mike Bratton, are a judgemental, self righteous blowhard. That's it. I doubt I could find one person that would disagree with me on that.
I make a distinction between a blogger and someone who comments on said blogs. I think the difference is very very very easy to see Mike. If you can't understand that, I can't help you.

People pitch variations on a theme of hatred. You know, like you folks are doing right now. Like Matthews did, and like some people around here did to Matthews.
Someone such as myself suggests taking the high road. You know, examining ideas rather than making immature statements.
And gets boatloads of hatred for having the temerity to suggest that, well, pumping out hatred isn't the best way to acquit oneself.
Rabbit, would you like to know what's wrong with Mormonism? It's a group that is polytheistic; since the Judeo-Christian teaching regarding God is monotheistic, that single fact puts them outside the tent of Christianity. But there's more. It's a group that tells you its own books, such as the Book or Mormon, are more trustworthy than the Bible--either Testament. They teach that Almighty God used to be a mortal being on another planet, until the god of that planet was so impressed with him that he granted that mortal being godhood, and control of his very own planet. They teach that you, too, can get your very own planet, if you play your cards right. They teach that Jesus is Satan's brother, that God the Father actually fornicated with Mary to produce Jesus' physical body, and that Calvary wasn't a sufficient sacrifice to provide salvation--all teachings that are at odds with what the New Testament plainly says.
And those are just some of the highlights. At the end of the day, Mormonism has more in common with Scientology than with Christianity.
Frankly, Rabbit, your weak attempts to brand me as a bigot, a step away from being an anti-Semite, for merely stating the fact that Mormonism is antithetical to Christianity should embarrass you.
Look, if you folks don't want to ratchet back your rhetoric, then don't. If no one should expect more from you than name-calling, then stay in the playground. Yes, how horrible it is that someone should expect more from you than the same nonsense liberals too often offer in lieu of substance.

Every single one of your detractors, after initially attempting to reason with you by asking that you maybe consider looking inward to see if there was a possibility that you were being out of line with your overall stance, opinions, condescension and condemnations; ultimately ended up pointing out the very same thing.
Namely, that you're a bigot.
bigot - one obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his own church, party, belief, or opinion.
Hide behind the veil of your version of Christianity, your version of what Christ requires, and your absolute belief in yourself.
While I don't (or shouldn't) fault you for believing in yourself and practicing what you personally believe to be necessary during your stay in the temporal world in order to attain everlasting life; or your desire to both follow and emulate the goodness of religiosity, you, with your supercilious, self-righteous BS, make it not only impossible to avoid doing so, it's as though you actively seek to attract scorn and wrath so as to be able to fling retaliatory rebukes and chastisement while pretending that you never initiated anything whatsoever; you were merely being truthful.
I have no doubt you consider yourself a worthy soldier of the Lord and that you are actually proud to suffer the slings and arrows sent your way because you catch them up as badges of honor.
While I don't know what you are actually like as an individual in your world, Mike Bratton, I will tell you that the persona I have seen you present is repulsive.

Mr. Rabbit says: What? They worship one God and one God only. Not many.
2) It's a group that tells you its own books, such as the Book or Mormon, are more trustworthy than the Bible--either Testament.
Wrong again Mindy. They teach that the BoM is ANOTHER TESTAMENT of Jesus Christ and that it is of equal importance. According to you, I should probably put my copy of the Talmud in the trash as well, right? Because it doesn't equal either testaments.
3) They teach that Jesus is Satan's brother, that God the Father actually fornicated with Mary to produce Jesus' physical body, and that Calvary wasn't a sufficient sacrifice to provide salvation--all teachings that are at odds with what the New Testament plainly says.
Absolutely everything in that sentence is absolute caca de vaca. Fornicated? That's a laugh. Calvary wasn't sufficient? You don't understand a thing.
YOU, Mindy, should hang your head in shame for the lies, half-truths, and utter crap that you have dealt. YOU, Mindy, once again, have proved beyond all shadow of doubt, that you are the pus and canker of Christianity.
At the end of the day you are nothing but a weakling, a show-off, a coward, a braggart, a fool, a spiritual and emotional eunuch, a bigot, a hypocrite, and a damned liar.

That said, I realize that Scarborough has the privilege to be down on the House floor as he was today, but I do question Joe's motives here. Why did he choose today, a very visible occasion, with plenty of cameras capturing the moment, to appear on the House floor? I'm wondering if Scarborough has visited the House since he left Congress? It is interesting to me that he chose this occasion to make an appearance given the fact that he has been so critical of Republicans and conservatives the last couple of years, and now, conveniently, when Republicans have retaken the House with such huge numbers and the winds appear to be shifting back in favor of the Republicans, Scarborough shows up on the House floor, schmoozing away? Maybe I'm cynical, but his appearance today did make me wonder what his motives were/are.

It must be something in the water over there...The longer that people are there, the loonier they seem to get. As far as Scarborough is concerned, I have no use for him anymore, and as a result of his bloviations the last couple of years in particular, I was surprised and amused to see him working the floor of the House today...Interesting.

I only go as far back as Scarborough Country with Joe and also held him in somewhat high regard as far as MSNBC hosts went in those days (Even Chris Matthews seemed somewhat lucid back then) But I agree, somewhere along the way Joe became very confused as well as confusing....especially once he hooked up with Mika. I don't know if he contracted her leftist ignorance or is just pandering to the MSNBC base (how redundant). Regardless, I consider him to be more of a partisan hack than a serious thinker and wouldn't be surprised if he changed parties altogether. Good riddance!

of Starbucks coffee.
Starbucks gave Mathews a chance to have "Chill up my leg, Kenyan Blend" coffee named after his show.......but he turned it down.
Interesting

According to Matthews, the self-proclaimed conservative Republican Scarborough was "saying hello to everyone on the Democratic side." Why not on the Republican side instead? Showing his true colors, perhaps?
Interesting, indeed...

I'm wondering too, what Scarborough was up to with his visit today...Hmmm.

Man Crush Matthew just can’t stand the fact that he is not the one, pardon the pun, hob knobbing on the floor. I bet that would thrill his leg to actually be someplace that wields some type of power. He and Barney Frank could compare tattoos and sip Shirley Temples. What a freaking goob.

I think "Tingles" has already had that "little chat" with Comcast about his job. He is now in "I don't care, my days are numbered" mode. It's pretty apparent that he has a man crush on Obama. If that's not gay, I don't know what is.
Scarborough on the floor

By golly I think Tingles is a little jeolous. Floor members know him (Joe) and must at least say Hi. When it comes to Tingles Mathews no body knows him and really cares less. Ouch that hurt didnt it Tingles?
I don't know...

In addition to Sarah, Chrissy seems to have...

a new obsession...Michele Bachmann. More and more she is becoming his latest target, denigrating her just about every chance he gets, saying that she appears in a trance, under a spell, and earlier this week, he called her a zombie...Nice, huh?
Get some help, Tingles...Quick.

I think Michelle Bachman is hot, AND she is consevative to boot! But I got an excuse... I'm a guy! LOL! Michhelle rocks! Oh, my spelling sux this early in the day, that's my excuse and I stick by it! : )
Relax, Rukus...Simply thinking that...
Submitted by PrairieSky on Wed, 01/12/2011 - 3:54pm.
a woman is "hot" doesn't qualify you as a misogynist...If that were the case, pretty much every man on the planet would qualify. Matthews is a misogynist because he targets and denigrates Michele Bachmann for reasons that have nothing to do with the fact that she's attractive...Matthews has a history of attacking strong, particularly conservative women like Bachmann and Palin. He even, I believe, went after Hillary Clinton in a similar fashion during the '08 election...I just think he has a problem with strong, powerful women...I'd love to meet his wife and mother...I wonder what his relationships with them are like?

Matthew's was just pissed

Matthew's was just pissed because he too used to walk the floor, not quite so freely, back when he worked for the democrat speaker of the House, Tip O'neil.
