Matthews: McConnell Should Be Time's Man of the Year, They Pick 'Awful' People Like Hitler
Chris Matthews on Friday said Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell should be Time magazine's Man of the Year for engineering a "disgusting strategy" that forced Obama to the left and made the President look like a socialist.
"Time magazine’s picked people pretty awful," claimed the "Hardball" host. "I’m not mentioning their names…Hitler" (video follows with transcript and commentary):
CHRIS MATTHEWS, HOST: You know who was Man of the Year last year Michael [Smerconish] and Ron [Reagan]? It was Mitch McConnell. I don't like what he did, but he screwed the country out of a decent, bipartisan agreement on anything forcing Obama on every issue from stimulus to healthcare to fin-reg, everything, he had to go to the left. He forced him to build all his coalitions on the left, screwed him over, then ran against him for being a leftist and a socialist after forcing him to be that. Mitch McConnell engineered that disgusting strategy, but it worked.
In a later segment:
MATTHEWS: This is Mitch McConnell’s strategy, the Senate Leader, and I say he’s Man of the Year like, I, look, Time magazine’s picked people pretty awful. I’m not mentioning their names…
REP. JIM MORAN (D-VIRGINIA): Hitler.
MATTHEWS: Hitler, yeah they pick bad people. So, I’m not saying he’s a good guy.
MORAN: I see.
MATTHEWS: But his ability to just say no to every single bill, forcing Barack Obama to build liberal to left coalitions all the time, and then call him a socialist. It’s worked.
Everybody follow that?
McConnell is evil because he forced Obama - the man with the most liberal voting record in the Senate when he was a member -to the left despite the President having at times a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate and an overwhelming majority in the House.
As a result of McConnell's dastardly deeds, the man that was touted to be the one that would unite Washington was incapable of reaching any bipartisan agreements thereby putting him on par with the leader of the Nazi Party.
Readers are again reminded that Matthews thinks "Hardball" is "absolutely nonpartisan."

Mitch McConnell "forced Obama to the left and made the President look like a socialist" according to Prissy?
Why would he win anything for forcing Obama to be Obama?
That's kind of like dating the biggest ho in high school and bragging about scoring, yo?

the new whacky conspiracy theory Tingles is pimping. Ok, let me get this straight: It's ALL McConnell's fault that Der Leader is a socialist? Mitch McConnell got a hold of a hot tub time machine and went back to 1961 and purposely got his hands on Obama's birth certificate(s). He also magically led Obama to go to Rev. Wright's church. He introduced Obama to the likes of Bill Ayers, Bernadine Dourn, and gave him the book Rules For Radicals, etc. OK. If you believe that, you are not reading this post right now. You are watching Countdown with Keith Olbermann on MSNBC, the place for All Communist Propaganda, All of the time.

Wasn't Hitler named Time's "Man of the Year" in 1938. At this time he was still allied with the Soviet Union. That would mean that all the Leftists in the United States were still enthralled with Hitler.

After all, he has had his entire lifetime to get it right.
As for McConnell, I don't think he has the stones to call out a commie for being a commie in the first place.

Anyone familiar with Matthews' political leanings can, given the subject CM is covering, write the transcript without watching the show.

So the Republicans according to Obama's complaining the other day, forced him to agree to the tax cut bill?
And now McConnell forced Obama to the left as well?
Just wait till we take the Senate, the libtards are going to be so left, they will be able to see Russia from the unemployment lines......................
Matthews has absolutely lost it.
Joe the Plumber
Submitted by wingnut55 on Fri, 12/10/2010 - 11:00pm.
Did Joe the Plumber cause Obama to become a socialist? By just asking one simple question Joe showed that Obama was a Socialist even before the election. Should Joe the Plumber be "Man of the Year". Of course not, because he is a man who works for a living and Time doesn't care about people who work for a living. Just the star struck politicians that live on the east coast.
Politically incorrect, Tingles is still right
Submitted by TheHistorian on Sat, 12/11/2010 - 6:08am.
Even though Chris is politically incorrect, he is right. Some really BAD people have been named Time's PERSON of the year. Take this one, for example
http://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/0,28757,1861543,00.html (Obama)
or this one
http://www.time.com/time/specials/2007/0,28757,1690753,00.html (Putin)
and then there's Khomeini (1979) and Gorbachev (1987 and 1989) as well.
So, Chris again is right for the wrong reason.
But McConnell won't be named. He's not a radical, a murderer, or a cheat.

So the left is switching instead to Mitch McConnell?
The liberal gang can't shoot straight or even concentrate on one target long enough to make a good point. There is a theory on collective attention deficit disorder - and now the Democrats seem to be proving that theory.
