“Who made killing small animals the test of Republican manhood?”

I'm not sure Chris, but if you find someone who knows, ask them who made high taxes and huge government spending proposals the test of Democratic compassion.

... on what do you dine? 

Someone somewhere has to kill what makes up your daily sustenance.

And there are hundreds of thousands of 13-year old American boys (and girls, Andrea) who every day pick up rifles, thinking not of the Presidency, but of dinner, or defending themselves, or simple recreational amusement.

And I am sure those security guards you brushed past on your way into the studio are not packing water pistols.

Thank you for evidentiary Example #129,044,356 that you are a Leftist, elitist snob.

Hi, Rich.

Let's see here, Chrissy. I am conservative (I suppose by most standards), yet (gulp!) I don't hunt and do not care to.

YET, I support the right of people to do so if they so choose.  Besides, hunters in TX perform a public service as far as I am concerned.  This state is FULL of deer.  The deer population is kept under control, thanks in large part to those who wish to hunt them for sport. 

Res tantum valet quantum vendi potest.

This is pure Looney Tune lunacy!!!

"Controlling carbon is a bureaucrat's dream. If you control carbon, you control life," Richard Lindzen - March 2007.

I would rather see the great white hunter, John Kerry, crawling on his belly
in the open field hunting game. Democrats always have a better way and do it
smarter.

It was the PC liberals that declared war on Bugs Bunny and pals, Chris.

“You don’t see any women out there with a gun.” You have to leave the left
coasts to see something like that.

“It used to be that candidates had to show they liked eating the local food —
you know, the blintzes, the Coney Island hot dogs, the Philly cheese steaks."

Chris, Chris, Chris, you silly pony, pheasant, squirrel, rabbit, etc IS the
local food in IA. You only get Coney's, Philly's etc right outside your
newsroom. Also don't forget that Democrats use food to show they are worthy to
run the country. Edwards go to Wendy's, Kerry fumbles with a sandwich, Hillary
holds up corn and says 'What is this?"

"After reviewing how Mitt Romney claimed to be a lifelong “varmint
hunter,” how Democrat John Kerry wore a goofy camouflage jacket on a
2004 hunting trip, and how then-gubernatorial candidate George W. Bush
shot an endangered bird back in 1994, Matthews played the Bugs Bunny
card: “So do Republican voters really believe that using a big gun to
kill small varmints really makes someone more qualified to be President
of the United States?"

Correct
me if I'm wrong, but didn't Bill Clinton go duck hunting during his
first Presidential campaign to ease the minds of Second Amendment-ers?

Obviously,
Democrats have no problem with shooting little varmints along the
campaign trail, unless the person holding the weapon is a Republican.

What Chris Matthews IS IS a patrician from the east.

For a little history on these eastern patricians we can go back to the French and Indian War and the American Revolution. While Matthews and his English and Dutch patricians were sitting safe in New England to Virginia "not rocking the colonial boat", real Americans in the Scots, Germans and Irish in the Ohio Valley were having GENOCIDE PERFORMED ON THEM by Indians, French and English empires.

These same red state now blue state patricians can be found with glee saying Global Warming will kill off all the red states people as Newsbusters reported.

Chris Matthews is this ilk. For the record, George Washington ate squirrel, Daniel Boone ate Squirrel, Abe Lincoln ate Squirrel, Kit Carson ate squirrel, Buffalo Bill ate squirrel etc.... etc.... etc....

What Chris Matthews IS IS a bigot and should be fired for his patrician slams AS WHAT HE DID WAS THE SAME AS SAYING BARAK OBAMA EATS WATERMELON AND FRIED CHICKEN. That is what his liberal ilk just did. MSNBC SHOULD FIRE MATTHEWS.

For the record to patricians, squirrel is a spectacular meal. While they will eat eggs from bird nests and mine apparently love suet which is beef tallow, they eat mostly seeds rich in fats and their meat is is akin to antelope in being savory, sweet and not the least bit gamey. I do not like Huckabee, but he is correct in fried squirrel is wonderful.
I instead make mine as stewed. The last one I put into Brunswick Stew which was very good too.

What kind of sorry world do we live in when Matthews does not realize that cabbage bleeds sap when you kill it and it too does send out impulses or cries in death. This Vegan stupidity and patrician flat world nonsense of all things are not living when you are a liberal and buying them out of a deli is pure ignorance.

Too much preaching here to the masses..........but I certainly hope that young boys and girls are begging for Crossman and Red Ryder bb guns and target shooting with them for the day when Mom and Dad both take them out to harvest the bounty of nature which Conservatives created in our Game system of renewable resources.

Theodore Roosevelt showed time and again that the hunter was the training for the best soldiers in the world. Take to the field and forest, move through the hill and glenn, breathe in your souls the breath of life.........and breathe the Spirit God has waiting for you to Life in you.

I pity Chris Matthews as he is void and will never understand what it is to be a gentleman or a child of God.

God bless Chris Matthews to find Peace.

And how do the actions of Republican Presidential hopeful Huckabee in his zeal to demonstrate he is a hunter to the NRA vote differ from the actions of John Kerry 4 years ago when HE went on his ceremonial hunt to re-affirm HIS NRA credentials?   I don't recall hearing Matthews crticize that.

Matthews has either a short memory or a hypocritical bias.

I will ruefully end Chrissy's segment with: "Somewhere out there a 13-year-old boy or girl is thinking, 'If I'm going to become a journalist, I'd better get myself a lobotomy.'"

Liberal: a power worshipper without power. George Orwell

Mitchell: “Absolutely. You don’t see any women out there with a gun.

Apart from The Woman of the Year -- Jeanne Assam, of course.

The gutsy lady who killed that crazed gunman, when he was trying to shoot Church goers in Colorado Springs last month.

Stick that in yer Elmer Fudd, Andrea.

Check out my exclusive edit of BBC News America's interview with Mrs Clinton: It's news to me!

Hmmm. Killing small animals for food is verboten, but killing babies in the womb is A-OK. Gotta love his logic. You are the man, Chrissy.

Elitists ie Chris Matthews & Andrea Mitchel who feel superior because they have someone else kill the meat they eat?

That the liberals are the ones much more likely to generalize and group people together under a "catagory" and then assign that catagory motives? Isn't this the heart of prejudice - to pre-judge someone based on their group or catagory that you place them in.

The day that "politician" became a career choice is the day we started losing the Republic. Let's get it back! Alan Keyes '08.

“You don’t see any women out there with a gun.”

That's a rather sexist statement from Ms. Mitchell. Is she saying that no women hunt game or ever would?
