Time magazine's Michael Duffy said this weekend that the liberal part of Barack Obama's presidency is probably over. Maybe more surprising, no one on the syndicated “Chris Matthews Show” – including the host – disagreed with him (video follows with transcript and commentary): read more

Matthews: McConnell Should Be Man of the Year – Time Picks Bad 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: ‘Right-wing Press Played Up Rangel Censure,’ Left More Compassionate to GOP Wrongdoers

Chris Matthews on Friday made the absurd claim the “compassionate” Left is too soft on Republican wrongdoers, and that by contrast the Right puts it's “heel into the back of the guy's head when he's down.” The “Hardball” host – with a straight face no less – said this to guests Ron Reagan and Politico's Roger Simon with reference to how the “right-wing press played up [Charlie] Rangel's censure” (video follows with transcript and commentary): read more

Chris Matthews Says He Can’t Tell Howard Fineman’s Political Leaning

Chris Matthews said Wednesday that he can't tell what Howard Fineman's political leaning is. Such humorously occurred at the end of a “Hardball” segment shortly after the host had no problem identifying his other guest as “center-right” (video follows with transcript and commentary): read more

Chris Matthews Attacks Michele Bachmann as ‘Zombie-Like’ and ‘Moonie-Like’ for Defending Free Enterprise on BBC

MSNBC host Chris Matthews cannot understand how conservatives could think that free enterprise is somehow American, and that being anti-free enterprise seems anti-American. On Tuesday night's Hardball, Matthews boosted a new effort by Democrats like David Brock and Kathleen Kennedy Townsend to organize their own independent-expenditure campaign to beat Republicans. Matthews brought on Townsend, who couldn't even win a race for governor of a blue state (Maryland) to explain how she would make the Democrats victorious. Matthews aired BBC video of Rep. Michele Bachmann (clearly borrowed from the Think Progress blog , since you can see the “Pro” of their logo), and attacked her as like a zombie, a Moonie, and a Manchurian Candidate: MATTHEWS: Look at her eye contact. I asked her when we had her on election night if she's under hypnosis . She doesn't answer the question. She looks straight ahead in that kind of zombie-like manner, like she's waiting for somebody to flash a card, like in “Manchurian Candidate.” I mean, I don't know what her state is. She apparently just got blown away running for leadership, so the members of the House on the Republican side — read more

WaPo Honors Social Liberal Chris Matthews on Page One as ‘Devoutly Catholic’

MSNBC's Chris Matthews is a devout liberal, including on contentious social issues like abortion and homosexuality. But on the front page of Tuesday's Washington Post, religion reporter Michelle Boorstein began a story on Archbishop Donald Wuerl's elevation to Cardinal at the Vatican like this: The archbishop's two brothers will be there. So will a rabbi he knows from Pittsburgh, the D.C. barber who cuts his hair and the fast-talking (and devoutly Catholic ) television commentator Chris Matthews. Do “devout” Catholics lecture their bishops that they should get their churchy noses out of our legislating? Boorstein apparently missed Matthews lecturing the Bishop of Providence , Thomas Tobin, in defense of Rep. Patrick Kennedy's pro-abortion politics on “Hardball” last November. read more
