On Sunday’s The Chris Matthews Show, the host used one of Mike Huckabee’s Iowa photo-ops as an excuse to launch into an elitist attack on Republicans and hunters. “Who made killing small animals the test of Republican manhood?” Matthews challenged at the top of his show. Over a clip of a vintage Looney Tunes cartoon, Matthews further upped the ante: “Who declared war on Bugs Bunny?!”
Later with his panel, an appalled Matthews noted how Huckabee “told a reporter that he loved to bag squirrels because he fried ’em up and ate ’em with biscuits and a Coca-Cola. What have we come to!”
Noticing how NBC News chief foreign correspondent Andrea Mitchell was squirming, Matthews asked her, “Are you upset by this Andrea? You must be!”
“Absolutely,” Mitchell confirmed, adding a unique sexist angle: “You don’t see any women out there with a gun.”
Opening the December 30 show, Matthews teased: “Gunplay! Who made killing small animals the test of Republican manhood? Who created the small game hunters test for the presidency? Who declared war on Bugs Bunny?”
After a segment on the leading Democratic contenders’ Iowa prospects, Matthews switched gears: “Before we break, Republican Mike Huckabee has shot to the top of the polls thanks to his Christian credentials, but this week he wanted to show Republicans there’s more to him than his faith, so he went pheasant hunting — and boy, was he proud.”
He then showed a clip of Huckabee, holding rifle and pointing to a row of dead pheasants on the ground: “These three birds all said the would not vote for me on caucus night. You see what happened to them.”
Matthews went on: “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. But nowadays they gotta like killing their supper!”
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? It all reminds me of Bugs Bunny and good old Elmer Fudd.”
For viewers who might not get the reference, Matthews showed a clip of Elmer Fudd pointing his gun at Bugs: “Now I got you! You’re a dead wabbit!”
Matthews then turned to Newsweek’s Howard Fineman: “Howard, getting back to Huckabee, he told a reporter that he loved to bag squirrels because he fried ’em up and ate ’em with biscuits and a Coca-Cola. What have we come to! What's with the hardware and the gunplay here?”
Fineman cautiously replied, “Uh, limited regional appeal, I would say, on the biscuits. But I’ll tell you what, Huckabee is great at the iconography of politics and Republican campaigns. He really is.”
Matthews: “Fried squirrel?”
Fineman: “Fried squirrels and the crosses in the background — he’s doing great with his voters.”
Matthews to Andrea Mitchell: “Are you upset by this Andrea? You must be!”
Mitchell: “Absolutely. You don’t see any women out there with a gun.”
After another round of jokes about eating squirrel, Matthews ruefully ended the segment: “Somewhere out there a 13-year-old boy or girl is thinking, ‘If I’m going to become President, I’d better get myself a rifle.’”

Then they had to go and ruin the 3rd and 4th volumes by putting Whoopi Goldberg on at the beginning to explain how there are racial slurs, stereotypes, blah blah blah, and that these aren't for children. As the characters of the Looney Tunes would say "Ah phooey."

Southern Cooking

Sounds like southern cooking to me. In making red eye gravy (ham), I believe, Coca Cola is used as an ingredient. Now, not being a fried squirrel aficiando, I don't know whether red eye gravy is used...but the biscuits the Huck mentioned would seem to give me a clue. Either that, or he's going to drink the Coke....or maybe he prefers sweet tea.
So what Chrissy...didn't you ever hear of regional fare? What a joke.

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.

Who made Chris Matthews a test of being a Puss
December 31, 2007 - 13:49 ET by Lame CherryWhat 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.

What wine do ya think would go good with that Chrissy?
It's funny far-leftist's like Matthew's and his ilk think that "only conservatives" like to hunt. But I'll tell ya' by golly here in central-Va. there are plenty liberal hunter's, African-American's especially.
It was a few close black ("gasp, he said "black") friend's of mine and their families through the year's by the way, who introduced me to some of the south's most haute' cuisine, concerning animal's of all sizes and genuses, and I'm sure they would take offense at Chrissy's little remark.
And may I say Blonde your mention of the red-eye gravy absolutely had my mouth watering, but I dont' know how well it would go with black olives. I was thinking maybe some feta cheese sprinkled on it, along with those olives.
Now I wonder what ol' Matthew's and Mitchell would think about some cow tongue, hog's head cheese or some turtle soup to round out the meal?

December 31, 2007 - 14:18 ET by USA4freedomSome 10 years ago when I was running a bar and restaurant. I was talking to a guy at the bar about grouse hunting. I had a great Brittany and I would hunt the northern Catskills. It’s hard hunting, if you bag one or maybe two a day you have had a day worth bragging about. Just about that time a woman seated three seats away starts to give me grief that I hunt and how could I kill defenseless animals, while she was eating a hamburger. After I told her that as a grown man I did not have to defend myself because it was a legal activity. But.. in this case I would, I started to tell her that that grouse had a hell of a lot more chance then that cow did that she was chomping downon. Then I went step by step how that hamburger got to her plate. I mean STEP BY STEP, leaving nothing out. She slammed her burger down and walked out, I yelled you forgot to pay your bill she shot me the finger. The whole bar roared.

I can abide a true Vegan
December 31, 2007 - 14:47 ET by alamojbI can abide a true Vegan who is anti hunting. I will not agree with them, but at least I can respect them. But meat eaters that are anti-hunting I have a lot of problems with. Now I understand if someone who eats meat cannot bring themselves to kill, just as long as they do not try to stop others. I say this because every time I have killed a mammal or bird I felt a little bad, yet I eat meat all the time. So who am I to oppose hunters, as long as they eat the meat? I do not have as much sympathy for fish, though I do believe you ought to kill them before "cleaning" them. I always try to kill catfish with a hammer before skinning them.

• More than five million women enjoy shooting, according to the survey. That's up 50 percent since 2001.
• Among female target shooters, the number using air rifles grew by 55 percent between 2001 and 2005. Use of rifles grew by 53 percent during, use of handguns by 33 percent, and use of shotguns by 16 percent.
• Women ages 18 to 24 represent the fastest-growing group of female hunters and shooters, followed by those aged 35 to 44.

December 31, 2007 - 15:42 ET by stratmanA couple I know are great shooting sports enthusiasts. Both are avid large and small bore competition shooters, have competed at Camp Perry and done well, and both are NRA instructors. She is deadly accurate with her favorite rifle (used to be an M1A, not sure what it is now) out to about 800 yards plus. One of their summer vacation trips is to go West and shoot prairie dogs for farmers/ranchers from a few hundred yards away. The property owners want them to visit their properties and "bid" (room and board) against the other for their free services.
She is also a great nurse who has helped save lives and comforted many in the ICU. She is one of the nicest, most even tempered persons I know and has more common sense and manners than Matthews and Mitchell combined.

So no programs are required just a bit of faith in God and the rest will come. A bit of chastity will do also.

December 31, 2007 - 14:42 ET by SyriusYou're going to leave it to your faith in hope and prayer that all the children born will be clothed and fed? Sounds like a huge welfare program is about to be presented by the social conservatives. Tell me again who is going to take care of the kids if the parents can't or won't provide? Maybe we should insure, that at the very least, they have health care? Who's with me?

I ask you what happened in
December 31, 2007 - 14:54 ET by Dan The Man 2I ask you what happened in the days pre 1973? It will be the same. Only an idiot would not fathom this? See Blonde's answer. I understand you dont understand the passage and its implecations. I have no problems with caring for orphans and widows but not with the government but with the individuals and the churches like it used to be.
Nuke em til they glow then shoot em in the dark.
You said churches...
December 31, 2007 - 15:04 ET by SyriusChurches? What if they're left wing atheists you all talk about with a flair? Would you help? I'm just trying to find out how are you going to pay for them?

December 31, 2007 - 16:23 ET by Dan The Man 2Again, I ask you what happened in the days pre 1973? It is not only the churches but any charity. You really dont get it do you? Doesnt matter left wing, right wing or center wing the people are there to help. It is not the governments job to provide services like that, if it were it would have been written into the constitution. Personal responsiblity would come in fashion again, it left the scene a long time ago when your communist government started taking over.
Nuke em til they glow then shoot em in the dark.

Seriously, why should we expect anything else?
The words "personal responsibility" are beyond a liberal's comprehension.

December 31, 2007 - 16:39 ET by bassndudeSyrius, I fail to understand how a child can be a left wing atheist. Are you saying that children are born left wing atheists? If so, your local high school has a course called biology. You might try taking that course.
Save a SeAL, club a liberal!!
Would you be willing to
December 31, 2007 - 15:32 ET by motherbeltWould you be willing to feed and clothe all the unborn through a big
gov't program? Increase taxes to make sure we can pay for it? Would you
open your doors and care for them? What you say? No more killing and
you get to take of them, right?
Well, there you go....abortion is OK because it's cheaper than feeding and clothing all those babies.
Syrius, why should I pay
January 1, 2008 - 17:16 ET by MikeBSyrius, why should I pay for either the abortion or for the raising of the child? If I didn't get the gal pregnant, why should I be held responsible? Now, if you are so disturbed by their situation, you can start a charity to take care of all the little b*****ds, and those who also feel guilt can freely contribute.
Did you ever stop to think that if all of the socialist programs weren't around to relieve these females of the responsiblity for their actions, there wouldn't be so much of that activity going on?
Certainly people have the right to reproduce. They also have the responsibility to take care of their own children as I did mine. If they can't assume their responsibility, then they don't need to be reproducing.

Questions, Syrius
December 31, 2007 - 14:47 ET by BlondeWhy would "we" need to feed and clothe these aborted children if they were brought to term? They have parents, yes?
Why are their mothers aborting them in the first place? I'll tell you....laziness and poor planning. And don't even go there with "in cases of rape". That won't wash here.
Why are couples forced into overseas adoptions?
But it's fine, we know you're a liberal and will come back at us with nothing but talking points. It's too nice of a day to get into it here, yet again, with the likes of you on the filthy topic of abortion. So you don't have to answer, I know what you'd say, anyway.

December 31, 2007 - 14:57 ET by SyriusActually, I'm a fiscal conservative wanting the social conservatives to come to the ramifications of a policy they are unwilling to broach. Call me what you like you won't be censored (I'll keep my comments civil in this debate). Beyond the laziness and poor planning, how would you care for those who are unsupported? They would be human beings and if born here, American citizens. Depending on how you care for them they could grow up to be Rightwingers or Leftwingers. What would you like to see?
I think it's time to pull the trigger on having a better policy for the unsupported.

Fiscal conservative + social liberal = contradiction?
December 31, 2007 - 15:03 ET by RJWho pays for your social programs...the tooth fairy?
Yours is God? Mine would the US Congress...
December 31, 2007 - 15:10 ET by SyriusActually, social programs aren't bad if used correctly. SOCIAL SECURITY, pensions, workmen's compensation, Medicare, Medicaid, Transportation infrastructure all can be attributed to LIBERAL policies before you were born.

On what do you base that statement, Syrius?
December 31, 2007 - 15:20 ET by RJWhy do you assume I would rely on God? Have I said or implied anything of that nature?
However, religious people and groups have an excellent record of caring for those in need. In fact, studies show that they give and do far more in that area than secular folks.
On the other hand, the government has a record of badly misusing our money, including in the areas you mention. Now, you would increase government's social responsibility? Again I ask: who pays for it...the tooth fairy?
Clearly, your claim of Fiscal Conservativism + Social Liberalism is a contradiction that doesn't hold up to scrutiny.
RJ...you again?
December 31, 2007 - 15:44 ET by Syrius"However, religious people and groups have an excellent record of caring for those in need. In fact, studies show that they give and do far more in that area than secular folks."
The proof would be...in the pudding?
Secularism is not a religion. The US has cared for many the world over not just religious groups.
I have asked the question on how would you pay for the unsupported unborn. I have not proposed a larger gov't or programs. I'm just asking should we pray it away like it doesn't exist? Personal responsibility? Tell that to a young passed out girl having sex with a predator? A broad statement meant for the debate.
