The Big Picture Rumble - Could Arizona get any crazier? P2
Erikka Knuti, Democratic Strategist & Brian Darling, Heritage Foundation & Judson Phillips, Founder-Tea Party Nation all join Thom Hartmann. According to a ...
Chris Matthews uses insinuation and innuendo to impugn people with whom he
disagrees. He brings people on to use them as rhetorical punching bags. He
has perfected the technique of rapidly firing off multiple questions and as
the guest attempts to answer the first and second question, Matthews is
dismissively demanding an answer to a fifth or sixth question while
interrupting the guest. He has no interest in discussion.
+Gilbert Van Buskirk Thanks for the response. If that is the case, I am willing to concede Matthew's point that nobody is perfect. Almost everybody has a mixed record. Matthews by contrast is very consistent. He claims that any disagreement with Obama's policies is driven by racism. If he spent any time discussing the actual policy I could cut him some slack. Best
+Brian Mcmahon I agree with your general sentiment on Chris Matthews railroading his guests. However, people and politicians who associate themselves with the Conservative movement and the Tea Party have a mixed record with respects to their philosophy on limited government. For example, Reagan was a pro-gun control Republican who banned open carry when it came to Black Panthers marching on the steps of the capital in 67 when he was governor of CA. So my belief is Matthews was trying to bore down on some hypocrisy.
+TboneLee Thanks for the response. I am not defending anybody who allows Chris Matthews to manhandle them. I am describing Matthews interview technique. His thesis seems to be that America is an inherently violent nation where assassination is commonplace and Phillips is unwilling or unable to rebut him. When he tries this approach on Ann Coulter she slaps him around like a tackling dummy. Best
+Brian Mcmahon when did Mr. Phillips actually attempt a direct answer 2 a direct question? Chris Matthews can be selective in his choice of whom 2 grill aggressively, but i would think a person who knows what (s)he's talking about would have an answer 4 a simple 'yes or no' question. i wonder what emotional attachment drives intelligent people 2 defend this guy.
+mrkareem1975 Thanks for the response. I respect your position while being a second amendment supporter no matter what the climate. What people like Chris Matthews forget or choose to ignore is that the people of this country did elect the president. Rather than acknowledge that election, he chooses to attack the character of anyone who disagrees with the president. Chris Matthews is unable to argue with the Tea Party's philosophy of limited government. Even a bona fide lunatic such as Matthews cannot deny the overreach of the current government. What he does instead is attack the character of Tea Party Activists. Best
+Brian Mcmahon this was after a deadly assassination attempt along w the post Obama political climate...ie angry racist all of sudden feeling a need to "take thier country back".....in THIS case it was logical question....tell everyone why you're call of duty ready at this city council meeting, voting rally, town hall meeting?.....post Obama victory all the rats came out strapped!
+mrkareem1975 Thanks for your response. I disagree with you completely but I respect your opinion. Chris Matthews is an advocate of totalitarianism. He is dedicated to disarming the American populace.
Great report, Kelly and Chris! Thank you. God bless you both. Thirty two
months of stonewalling Greater Phoenix Tea Party! What did the president
know and when did he know it? About everything...Barack Obama is not a king
and America is not a dog to be commanded.

My Captain in the US Navy (4 bars Nam cold war era) talked like Trump.
We respected the man.
We pulled into port one night under cover of darkness.
I was there on the bridge.
He asked the commanding officer are we in the right place?
Commanding officer said yes.
The Captain replied I think your full of shit then left the bridge with
cigar smoke trailing behind him.
I had all I could do to contain myself.
Go Trump.

+Terry Sullivan They already sneak under tunnels. They have barbed wire on border. If Trump is for real he'll announce that illegals will no longer receive welfare that is costing tax payers trillions of dollars
+Terry Sullivan a trail of depleated uranium & spent fuel rods ( we got plenty) will work well . fence both sides . you will only take so many steps near it and you will drop , due to excessive fluid leakage
The wall is in part a message. And if you don't had a wall, how can you process, triage, and allow to enter who have the papers and qualifications? That is the message: you can come in if you follow the rules. The other message is that we are a sovereign nation and we can choose who joins us. If you wonder about that, just consider Germany and the rest of the EU.

Arizona Republicans Quit After Giffords Shooting, Tea Party Criticizes
Arizona Republicans are resigning from their posts as a result of the Gabrielle Giffords shooting, and we are confused by some claims that all elected officials ...
@DarkstarNV He jacked up taxes under a guise to pay down the defict, then
attempted to create more gov programs as if he could spend our money better
then us. He had a small surplus much in part to the Republicans taking
control of both the House & Senate fighting him on cuts. Tech industry
revitalized our economy, no more spending billions on military if there was
no threat. It was a good time to be prez. It was Clinton & A Republican
Congress that repealed Glass Steagull creating the collapse!
@DarkstarNV The Defict Reduction Act was a sham by Clinton who then pushed
Hillarycare that would have dwarfed the income created by those new taxes.
Dems lost control in 94 because of their spending & entitlements. Clinton
shut government down because he was UNWILLING to make cuts to reduce the
defict with Republicans. Clinton had the tech boom, no 100 billion dollar
burden militarily from cold war costs. Fiscal sanity is the only common
theme in Tea Party, Clinton & Repubs started this mess!
Violence from Tea Party members?? WOW a Democrat gets shot by a druggy
nutjob & this guy associates him with a grassroots movement by millions
that has not one act of violence since the Bush bailouts when it began.
Irresponsible commentary like this from David Pakman is a fine example of
why America is as divided as when Bush was Prez.. Here is one better for
you David if your going to spread lies blame the Tea Party for the twin
towers attack this type of propaganda is much more dramatic.
@DarkstarNV Again the Tea Party is made up of INDIVIDUALS with NO
leadership! Though Palin & Angle support & were supported by some Tea Party
members all of their personal views or comments do not represent the Tea
Party as a whole. The only common theme that unites all members is a
government existing within a budget & paying down the deficit. Tea Party or
mainstream America just vote the people out that are unwilling to be
respectful of our tax dollars & the debt they are creating.
@MaudsPas You do know the shooter wasn't a member of the tea party, right?
He was a pot-smoking anarchist stalker than burned American flags (not
exactly a signature move of rightwingers). However, you do know who burns
the American flag quite a bit? Leftists. Trying to blame the shooting on
the right has about as much credit as blaming Jews for starting the
Reichstag fire. Was IRS-hating Joseph A Stack or Ted Kaczynski
rightwingers? No. They were the worst of leftists: Anarchists.
@BoredomCorner We all risk getting killed by a "terrorist" when we use an
ATM, ride a train, go into a federal building, or get on an airplane. If
politicians really think they're more at risk than any member of the
public, the statistic would prove them wrong. How many non-congressmen and
woman are murdered every year by some nut? You don't hear about that much,
do you? But yes, to serve this republic is to risk your life in its
defense. Our politicians are, sadly, mostly cowards.
@DarkstarNV Sara Palin does not represent the Tea Party. It is a grass
roots movement made up of INDIVIDUALS with ONE common theme. A gov that
exists within a budget & pay down the deficit! I find it amazing that a
druggy lunatic is now being associated with the Tea PArty by someone like
you. Please send me your proof or have the decency to know what your
talking about before spewing more hatred towards a group you would rather
condem then accept for what it truly is.
And yet the Founding Fathers were all willing to be hanged so that our
Republic could be born. Seems what passes for political courage today is
but a shadow of what it took over 200 years ago to give us the freedom we
enjoy today. If our elected officials today were in power in 1776, there
would have never been a revolution to break away from Great Britain.
The Republicans in Arizona quit because they were afraid of being shot by
the crazy rightwingers. The crazy rightwingers were criticizing them as not
being real Republicans and tried to get them out of office. Now, the crazy
rightwingers are criticizing them for quitting. They can't win for losing.
If I were them, I'd go into hiding for a year or two.
This has been a long time in the making. The AZ shooting was just the
cherry on top of a bigoted steaming cake of tea party bullshit. Good for
the politician not willing to sacrifice the paternal care of his children
to fight from tea party policies like resegregation of our schools.
with Glenn Beck spreading conspiracy theories everyday on his show, who
knows how many more Jared Laoughners are out there waiting to attack.
google:timeline of 'patriot' movement +southern poverty law center
@BloodofPatriots So you think that people should risk getting shot by some
homegrown terrorist, simply because said terrorist doesn't want to chip in
for public health care?
