I’m first, I will post what I posted on the other page.
Looks like c. matthews is having a meltdown over this election. He is calling Undecided Voters Boneheads and wants to know what their problem is.
I am not sure what he thinks the purpose of having debates is. I always thought that they were intended to influence undecided or to convince those that are leaning one way to either move to a definite or more the other way.
People don’t have to commit one way or the other until election day and it appears that quite a few women are leaning the other way.
He might be the biggest Bonehead on air.
Ping
Ed Schultz is going to devote one of his shows this week, Friday I believe, to the selling out of the workers at Bain-owned Sensata technologies in Freeport, IL. He spent about ten minutes on the subject Monday night. It should be headlining the traditional news channels as well. The Company pulled down the American flag before telling workers they THEY would have to train the Chinese employess who would be taking away their jobs.
@Laurence Glavin
Interesting. Will this be before or after he reports on the failures of Solyndra and cronyism in the White House? BTW, Ed does know that Romney doesn’t work for Bain anymore, doesn’t he? Yeah. He probably knows but doesn’t care because right now they are just desperate to throw anything to the wall and see what sticks.
Lol! US SUPREME COURT tells GOP voter suppression obsessed jerks to bugger off!
When the High Court leans right, and they won’t even listen to their ridiculous cases, It says something about what’s wrong with their parties agendas.
On the wrong side of the constitution, again!
The Five is a beast! A little over a year on the air and they beat every show on every other news cable station. And Fox as a whole beats all other news cable networks combined as well.
ALL CONQUERING FOX THE HEGEMON OF THE CABLE COSMOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Coffee Steve
I have been having IP address problems with the wifi, sorry I am late in saying this but our thoughts are with you and your family. Just remember he is now pounding the clouds with fellow Marines because once a Marine always a Marine.

Ready Too
the TRUE obama is really showing poeple how pathetic he is, and unable to lead the most prosperous nation in the world with his semi socalist policies designed redistribute wealth to his voters and cronie friends… Its funny to hear MSNBC IS INVESTIGATING INDIVIDUAL COMPANIES THAT BANE OWNED FOR SHIPPING 1 JOB OVERSEAS… at the same time they ignore a coverup, and lies to the american people about MOB ACTION(with RPGs) that killed a us ambassador and then riots that escallated for days to over 30 DIFFERNT EMBASSYS from MORROCCO to PAKISTAN, burning american property, because of OBAMAS WEAK RESPONSE, TO OUR PEOPLE BEING KILLED…. they saw obama blame a video….. THIS VERIFYS IN THE ARAB WORLD THAT THE VIDEO THAT HAD 400 HITS ON YOU TUBE BEFORE IT WAS IDENTIFIED BY THE WHITE HOUSE FOR 2 WEEKS AS THE CULPRIT FOR THE VIOLENCE…
how 1 person can still be thinking this is not a cover up is beyond me
Steve, very sorry to hear about your brother.
@Jeff
I’ll call your voter supression and raise you forced voter intimidation. State socail workers and private sector union employees loading up in vans and mini buses bring people who collect government assistance to the polls by the millions forcing people to vote in the inner city for liberal candidates. This has been an unreported scamm thats been going on but increasing since the 70′s.
MSNBC Edits Obama Dodging Question ‘Is Hillary to Blame for Benghazi?’
Just how desperately is MSNBC trying to shelter viewers from the ever-changing story coming out of the White House concerning the four Americans killed at our consulate in Libya?
The network on Tuesday edited a reporter asking the President, “Is Hillary to blame for Benghazi?”
REUTERS: How are you feeling about tonight?
OBAMA (smiling): I feel fabulous. Look at this beautiful day.
NBC: Are you aware Michelle voted for you yesterday?
OBAMA (turning to yell back): Thank goodness!
POLITICO: Is Hillary to blame for Benghazi?
OBAMA: (Silence. Kept walking.)
As you can see from the transcript provided by Free Beacon and the clip from CNN, Obama answered the first two questions but ignored the one about Benghazi.
Yet when MSNBC played this sequence for viewers at 12:01 PM Tuesday, the clip ended with Obama’s answer about Michelle voting for him.
And MSNBC has the nerve to call itself a “news network.”

@USN & Bobbyv
Thanks Guys.
& USN? You’d be happy knowing he was one Marine that liked the Navy, he better have, My Dad and Younger Brother were Navy Guys.
Dad Served during WWII, and My younger Brother during Desert Storm, he worked on the Fighter Jets.
@Coffee Steve
One last one but this is to your brother from an crusty old Master Chief Boatswains Mate

Granted….”Mourning Joe” is an Early Morning show, but so is FOX & FRIENDS
and they always get ONE MILLION PLUS,yet “JOE” can never get a mere 500 K.
Journalism at its BEST!!!
Chris Matthews Goes Off On ‘Bonehead’ Undecided Voters: ‘What’s Your Problem?’
Chris Matthews On Debate: If Obama Doesn’t Fiercely Defend Record, ‘Something Historic Will Begin To Die’
Chris Matthews: If Obama’s ‘Getting Beaten Again’ in Debate, People Will Switch to Yankees Game
I do not post often here, but I just read that Coffee Steve’s brother passed. I am so sorry to hear this and you will have my prayers for you and your family!
A point of concession to you righties,Chris Matthews is an idiot,He is not fit for his job if he freaks out over a story hes covering,I say retire him and let one of there younger calmer rising stars reinvigorate that time frame hes a drain on the numbers in my opinion and is just a plain bonehead like when he says the docs He made are the greatest things ever jeez what a jerk
I watch FOX as does every other patriotic American but I will watch msnbc after Mitt wins the election just to see the look on Ed’s face………………………..priceless
