Chris Matthews ‘Monochromatic’ View of Palin


By Don  |  November 20, 2009


MSNBC's Chris Matthews has been on an all out assault on Sarah Palin this week with his Palin-Palooza coverage.

 

Norah O'Donnell reports on the white-ness of the Palin fans saying that there are almost no minorties in the crowd and Matthews then follows that up by saying it is monochromatic.

So all of a sudeen it seems that Matthews and MSNBC have decided that racial profiling ofg a book signing is necessary and appropriate.  What if this had been Jesse Jackson and his audience had been almost entirely black?  Would Matthews apply the same terminology to him?  I doubt it.

Matthews like others in the liberal media see Palin as a real threat to the Democrats majority status in Congress and are bewildered by her success. But it seems the more they attack her the more popular she gets.

Don…..I agree with you.  And I think that the liberals not only feel threatened by her, but that they are also extremely jealous of her. They only wish they had a woman inside their party who could be so popular! But of course, that will never happen !           

And that commentary between hateful Chris “Tingle” Matthews and jealous Norah O’Donnel was absolutely sickening and disgusting!

I agree with you Diane, Matthews worked in the Carter Administration, need I say more? One thing I cannot stand is a Man whining day after day, pouting like a little girl who got grounded,I think he needs testerone shots.

Palin’s book set a record, never has a book sold out by Pre-Order a month before release, and had to go into a second printing. Her book signings are drawing crowds of 5,000 to 50,000 just to get a book signed or catch a glimpse of her.

Norah O’Donnell interviewed a little girl wearing a Palin tee shirt, and made her cry…real class, sadly her class is Low.

It is called “Palin Derangement Syndrome”, Liberals are deathly afraid of her. Unlike Obama, Palin has actually had a real job, cleaned up corruption in Alaska, has Common Sense, and is a real person and a patriot, things Obama will never have, nor any of his supporters.

There is another MSNBC post going on, where Matthews is completely outraged only because she reads the Conservative Magazine, Newsmax. I also subscribe to it, as well as a online member and regularly receive their daily email news.

Other subscriptions I receive are the National Review magazine, and the only newspaper I read is the Wall Street Journal, I subscribe to many others online (all Republican and/or Conservative). I am also a contributor to the RNC.

Today I am only hoping the vote on ObamaCare does not pass, we still have Joe Lieberman, and possibly some Blue Dog Dems who may not vote for it, although they have been told that if they do not, they will be replaced by other Democrat/Liberals, typical for them to threaten people to get their way, they do not want or allow free thinkers in their party.

We need to kill ObamaCare, and Cap and Tax (the Climate Bill).

Hi Wes.  Had so much going on today, and got called into work this evening, so am on my way. It is amazing how you ALWAYS manage to say so well everyting that I think.  It is as if you are looking inside my brain…(lol) I am so passionate about politics and what is happening to America, that I practically eat, sleep and breathe it these days.  Acutally, it is a good thing that I am working away from home part of the time, just so that I can take a break from it all !...lol.  But even going to to work and coming home, I listen to A.M talk radio ! I am addicted !  For instance, I was getting some work done at home today , (both inside and outside), and I had the radio on,both places !  But don’t tell those liberals !...lol) And I listened to Rush for several hours today, and agreed with everything that he said too!  Also heard the interview that he did with Sara, and it was a good one ! It is too damned bad that Sara didn’t run for President this last time, along with someone else besides McCain for her running mate. And then done their best to convince the American people that they were also sick and tired of the way things had been going , and that they were gong to get back to the conservative roots and stand up and be strong, and defend our constitution,  etc.  Well, you know what I mean. People are just so hungry for that !  I respect McCain; but as I often said, I just didn’t think he had the fire in his soul that many Americans needed this time around. I voted for him, of course, but I don’t know.  People just needed him to express more passion about the changes that we needed, I think.  It is too bad, however, that more Independents did not look much more closely at Obama’s backround,as much as we were allowed to know…and that surely would have been enough to scare them; and then perhaps they would have voted for Palin.  Anyway, I certainly did my homework and read his books and looked at where he came from, and who all he associated with, and grew up with,  and that was certainly enought to scare the living daylights out of me !  And if any liberal ever accuses me of being afraid of Obama ..I will say, “YOU ARE DAMNED RIGHT, and if you had any common sense and were paying attention, you would be scared too !”  I believe if Sara could have been president that we would be headed in the right direction by now.  I believe that “The Narcisisctic Chosen Man Child ” is taking orders from so many other corrupt figures , and that he just enjoys being on stage all the time!  He is playing the part of President, but has no experience at anything except for community organizing and voting yes to lots of pork spending; and oh yes, he is no stranger to the SEIU folks !  Of course, he believes exactly the same way as those who are giving him advice. And he hates America, as they do, which makes his job so much more fun !! It is absolutely unbelievable to me what is going on, and every day, I wake up feeling like it should all should have been some sort of nightmare that I had and not be real !!  As Rush said, we wake up and feel as if we are in battle and heading back to the trenches ! ...(lol…but seriously!) Well, have much more to say, but need to get going.  Hanging onto a job is extra important these days and I don’t want to be late.  Will try to catch up with all that you have posted in other places also, ASAP! Have a good night !

Later ...

Hi again, Wes. Back to respond to your post. Sorry for the lengthy post before this one. I was all wound up after listening to Rush all day, I guess….lol.  Anyway… No, I didn’t know that Matthews worked for Carter.  And yes, that certainly does explain a lot. (lol)  Too bad he is still not working for him.  He surely would be a lot better at picking peanuts than reporting the news !  (Sorry to be mean, but after watchng that video of him picking on Sara, he had it coming !)   

Yes, it is amazing about Sara’s book. You just know that Hillary and Pelosi and Barbara Boxer are all green with envy !  They all have written books, which did not do so well, I heard. But,  perhaps Hillary’s book, ” How To Raise A Village Idiot” might have done better than the others.  Oh wait. Was that the title of her book or was that her Saul Alinskey college thesis ? ....I forget !...lol. Anyway, I think I heard today that Pelosi’s and Boxer’s books are like number 6,000 or lower on the list.  Now, you would think they would wake up and smell the coffee, wouldn’t you?

Was sad to read that Norah O’Donnell made a little girl cry because she was wearing a Sara Palin T shirt.  She really is a mean one ! Guess I am glad that I missed seeing that.

Interesting ...the term : Palin Derangement Syndrome.  I think that there are a few other reasons that liberals are bewildered by Sara Palin. One is that she chose not to abort her baby.  And another is that she did not go to a big college such as Harvard, and yet she became so successful.  Sara is honest, and genunine and real; and she also loves GOD, and The United States and our military.  And liberals just don’t get any of that !

I also get the Newsmax emails, but have not yet subscribed to the magazine. But I will ! smile Did you get the free radio ?  Hope they still are offering that. 

Well, looks as if the Health Care bill got the votes today.  It is unbelieable that they just refuse to listen to the people !  And makes me furious that they were not willing to try other alternatives for reforming health care. Well, perhaps there is still some hope. I don’t know. It is not looking very good at this point, I guess.  Did you happen to see the cartoon of the conservative congressman arguing before congress where he says : “The American people do not want this Health Care Bill shoved down their throats ! ”  And B.O. is sitting in the backround leaning over whispering into Harry Reid’s ear,” Pssst. It’s called a suppository!”  So that just about sums it up, I guess ! I only wish I felt like laughing. It was sort of funny the other day, but not so funny tonight.

I saw that the Chinese are concerned about this Health Care bill being passed, and think it is foolish ! And speaking of foolish… There was another cartoon of Obama bending down and curtsying to the Chinese leaders….lol.  And the Chinese men are looking at each other and saying, “OH GOOD GRIEF !  NOW he is curstying ! ”  (lol) 

And so, I wonder what tomorrow will bring ? One thing is for sure, there has never been a dull moment with this administration ! 
 
Is it 2012 yet ?...lol.  Sara…...HELP!!

<Laughing, respectfully>

Diane, all good points, you have really come a long way and know your Politics well now…good for you! Now if we can just get more people to open their eyes to see what is going on, we would be able to sweep all the garbage out of the White House and both the Senate and Congress. Do a search on “Cloward and Piven” and read their strategies, and you will know where we are heading with Obama and his cronies, including the Liberals/Marxists in Both Houses.

It is not just his (Obama) Birth Certificate that he has paid up to $1.5 Million of his own money to lawyers to keep private and away from public eyes. It is also his College records from Columbia and Harvard, including his Thesis from each school. God only knows what he is hiding, must be pretty damning for him to pay that kind of money to keep it private. One thing I do know, he is the most inept, impotent president this county has ever had, or will from now on…

If you remember what Obama said about the War in Afghanistan, “This is the righteous War”, he picked his Cent-com General (McChrystal) to run the war for him. Three months ago the General requested 40,000 more troops, due to the record number of troop killings of American Soldiers, so far Obama has left him without any Military support, and more and more Americans are dying every day. Obama has not approved any Military support for McChrystal until after the ObamaCare vote, so he does not alienate his liberals in the Congress and Senate before the vote comes up. So, he is allowing our soldiers to die for political reasons, that is nothing short of a crime against humanity, allowing our own Military left to die for something a huge Majority of Americans do not want, Socialized Health Care, with a difference…We pay for the Government Insurance plans. Failure to have adequate insurance will result in a fine up to $35,000.00 and up to a year in jail. Not exactly a Constitutional move, but then again, as he has said before; “I believe the Constitution needs to be updated…or we should have a “Living Constitution”.

The ObamaCare Bill was brought under $900 Billion by manipulating the costs, taken out to be added back in if the Health Care Bill passes, those would be the $200 Billion for DocFix (to pay doctors to treat Medicare patients), and they have yet to tell Americans about the $367 Billion in Taxes to help pay for sub-par, rationed Health Care over the next 10 years. Antoher thing rarly ever mentioned, should the Bill pass in the Senate and become law, his Health Care would not begin until 2014, but we begin paying for it right away.

He campaigned on “Reforming Health Care” not on Changing it to something else completely, had the people knew what they were getting, McCain would be the President now. (Not my first choice, but better than what we ended up with).

It would have been much cheaper to have reformed our current Health Care system. By 2011 the cost rises to $2.2 Trillion dollars, then at least $1 Trillion per year after that. Problem is, 46% of all Doctors (especially Specialists and Surgeons) have signed a pact to stop practicing for the reason they will not be able to treat people up to standards and quickly, and in violation of their Hippocratic Oath. This means Health Care rationing is on it’s way, just as in all Socialized Health Care Counties, and long waits…a Government team will decide what treatments you can or cannot have.

Now we find out that we will have to pay for the coverage, the Government will issue health care plans that cost more than what we already pay for insurance.

I have not even talked about what the Cap and Tax would do to every American household.

Now look at Eric Holder, our… oh so great Government Attorney General (another Chicago cronie), he has not only killed investigations into Pelosi’s lies to Congress about not attending the Enhanced Interrogation meetings, when they have proof she attended, lying to Congress even if you are a member is still a Crime.

He also killed the investigations into Chris Dodd and Barney Frank for taking Sub-Prime mortgages from the Freddie’s (Mae and Mac). Now it is going on almost a year since Congressman Charles Rangel (Chair of the House Ways and Means Committee), not only did he not pay his taxes, but hid much of his assets and money and property he owns offshore.

Holder then removed Khalid Sheik Mohammad to New York for a Civilian Trial for his planning of the planes hitting and taking down both WTC Towers, and hitting the Pentagon, the plane the passengers caused to crash in Plattsburgh which was headed for the White House, not to mention murdering over 3,000 people. What the hell is he thinking?

Holder and Obama have both said in public that he WILL BE FOUND GUILTY, and be put to death. In a Civilian Court saying that could get the case thrown out and set him free. Holder says we have tried and convicted terrorists in the U.S. before successfully. The problem with that is, they were caught here in the United States. KSM was captured on the battlefield in the Mid East (Pakistan), and moved to Gitmo. He should be tried by a Military Tribunal, but I believe (as do most people) that he really wants to put the Bush Administration and the CIA on trial, for “Enhanced Interrogation”. Almost every Victim of the 9/11 tragedy will be brought back to within a few blocks of where the towers stood, this will upset not only those victims, but the FDNY and Police in New York. This is just plain stupid.

None of the Liberals in Government refuse to call Major Hasan who killed 13 and wounded 30 soldiers at Ft. Hood, a “Terrorist”, although proof has been found in his apartment.

This is what happens when you have a Government full of Liberal/Socialists/Marxists, they could care less about the Constitution or this once Great and Proud Nation. The ALCU and The Supreme Court have screwed up the Constitution as it is, but now they are taking away our freedoms…Free speech, my butt! At least now we know why Obama is creating a “Civilian Army” supposedly trained and armed as well as our Military…They are afraid of a Citizen backlash.

This president and the Liberals in both Houses are ruining our country. And the media will not question anything NObama does, so much for truth in the LameSteam media, who are also lying to us…

Makes one wonder if Obama has aspirations higher than just being President?

ucm4u,

It isn’t as if anyone else is posting here, nor has there been an attempt by anyone else to post here since the release of this article on Friday.

There just isn’t anything new about MSNBC, Chris Matthews, Kieth Olbermann, or Norah O’Donnell…It’s like the old saying, “There is no use in beating a dead horse, except for the pure pleasure of it.” - (Credit the last part to early Robin Williams stand-up comedy)

Let’s see; here we have Matthews and O’Donnell. A pig and a pig with lipstick trashing someone for the very thing they themselves are doing in this video clip.

It’s no wonder why MSNBC is a loser in ratings.

It’s also interesting to see that O’Donnell is broadcasting from the Peoples Republic of San Francisco with the Golden Gate as a backdrop. Now that puts things in perspective.

Wonder how long it’ll be before Pelosi makes the Golden Gate a ‘trollbridge?

Amazing!!! Sarah Palin has been subjected to some of the most scurrilous attacks and invasions of privacy any politician has endured in my lifetime, and Tingle-leg and his she-sharks have the unbelieveable gall to say the Sarah is “mean-spirited”. Jeeeeeezus!

cynical, your biggest problem is you believe the LSM (Lamestream Media) and what you read on all those Hate Sites you belong to…Look at the Liberals in our Government, and you think Republicans/Conservatives are hypocrites? Just the opposite, bud!

You would not know the truth if it hit you in the face, Palin has more class in her little finger than the entire Liberal Political establishment.

A good recent example is Back in the old days, people would at least look ashamed when caught being bribed, but not Mary Landrieu. It’s being called the Louisiana Purchase. Senator Harry Reid put a provision on the health care plan that originally called for $100 million to be funneled to Louisiana exclusively.

Mary Landrieu refused to vote for cloture on the motion to proceed to the health care debate. Reid raised the offer from $100 Million to $300 Million and Mary proved she wasn’t a cheap date after all — she took the increase, voted for cloture, and then bragged about the $300 million bribe. To quote her, “I will correct something. It’s not $100 million, it’s $300 million, and I’m proud of it and will keep fighting for it.”

Makes me wonder if the other three Dems who didn’t want to vote for Cloture got for their votes. Apparently Obama was not worried, he was on the Golf Course all day. Obama has not only put off his own Generals needs for more troops, but is now been 87 days since the request was put in, he told the press yesterday he would make a decision on December 01, purely for political reasons. Now the Democrats want to impose a surtax to pay for the War Obama himself called “The Righteous War”. Nope, just tax the people into poverty, or do you even care.
As with her own Aides, when they set her up with Couric for 9 hours of interviewing, failing to tell her that she (Sarah P.) could set the rules of the interview(s). Did not warn her about the Gotcha Questions, hoping she would fail (I have no idea where McCain found these people). Now they are all pissed that she wrote about what they did to her in her new (Record Selling Book)...truth hurts, huh guys!

Back to the remarks on Palin…

Frankly, I believe she is a breath of fresh air, no non-sense, down-to-earth regular person, with a common sense approach to politics. On top of all that, she chooses to have the Down Syndrome baby and was still able to win the Gubernatorial Race against a fellow Republican, who’s spending was out of control and taking money from special interests, then put his G550 Luxury Jet on auction. Then cleaned up the State, thus able to lower the tax burden for the citizens of the State.

That is what MSCBC, and other liberals are afraid of, she is everything Hussein Obama is not. She is also given a rough time for not going to an Ivy League School, she went to North Idaho College, where she had been offered a scholarship, she did very well there, so what if she did not go to a school she could not afford.

Palin is more polished and has learned the tricks of interviews, not sure if she would be electable in 2012, but she should either run as an Independent, or for either of the Houses, just to keep her name in the political spotlight, for a later run.

I believe Ivy League Colleges are for the Pompus and Arrogant, liberal bastions of society. Bush 43 went to Harvard as a Legacy Student; most of his tuition paid for by the Alumni Association, and was a third generation Bush to attend. Hell, I might go if almost all of my tuition was paid for…but they also expect much more from you later in life. (I still would not have gone to one of ‘those’ schools)

I watched her hour and ten minute speech at the RNC Convention, the Teleprompter went out just before she went on stage, and just gave the damned speech perfectly. Something Obama could never do…it really showed in China, where he didn’t have control over the questions. He stammered paused often trying to think of how to answer simple questions. For awhile, Republicans jokingly referred to the teleprompter for Obama, as TOTUS (Teleprompter of the United States), simply due to the fact that he could not talk without having it there, such as in the Debates.

If nothing else, something I NEVER want to see again is a TWO YEAR campaign.

Hello, all of my fellow conservatives. (Smile)Here is also something interesting. Of course we all saw that Chris “Tingle” Matthews was doing his best to stir up trouble by saying that that he didn’t notice any blacks in the crowd who might be there to see Sara Palin. ( First of all, I wish to share that my black friends happen to absolutely admire Palin, and her common sense and good values, as well as her love and respect for this country and our freedoms.) 

And second of all, I can imagine that MSNBC instructed the camera crew not to focus the camera on any black people which were there, and that The liberal “Nut-Case” Norah O’Donnell would certainly not want to interview any Black people who were there either. She would certainly not want to hear any positive feedback from them regarding Sara.  Heaven forbid !  No, Norah would much prefer to pick a little girl out of the crowd, (who was there to see Sara),and to make her cry.  That is Norah’s cowardly and creepy liberal and low class style, just as Wes said !   

And third : An interesting observation from conservative , common sense thinking Michelle Malkin yesterday. She learned that MSNBC has no Black people working there. Only White ! And so if that is true, I am curious to know just why that is, Mr Matthews ? Hmmmmm?  And I also wonder what your President and his wife would think, as well. 

I also found it amusing last evening when I heard Martha Stewart admitting that she is scared of Sara Palin, and that she would not feel comfortable around her.  I had to laugh when she was asked why; (lol), as she stuttered and stammmered around and could not tell the truth;(if she is even able to face the truth??). And so she made up some stupid lie which made absolutely no sense.  And I was also musing to myself that Martha probably felt so much more comfortable, and less fearful around prisoners while serving her time in prison for her corrupt deed.  Martha knows that she cannot hold a candle to Sara Palin’s intelligence and goodness !  And that is why she is so afraid of Sara !  And of course, she is also jealous of Sara’s success, as well as by the crowds of American people who admire her and who flock to see her, as well as to purchase her book.  Here is something funny. You know what could be Martha’s worst nightmare…lol. What if Sara Palin would write a cookbook in the near future sharing all of the Palin Family’s favorite recipes, and include pictures, and it would outsell any of Martha’s cookbooks !...(Smile)

A jury found Martha Stewart guilty Friday on all four counts of obstructing justice and lying to investigators about a well-timed stock sale, and the former stockbroker turned style-setter could face years in jail.
Her ex-broker, Peter Bacanovic, was found guilty on four of the five charges against him. Each of them faces up to five years in prison and $250,000 in fines for each count.

I still think under the circumstances, with Stewart setting on the Board of Directors of the N.Y. Stock Exchange, should have received the max, which would have been 20 years and $1 Million dollar fine. She got of light…However she claims the 5 Months she served cost her a Billion Dollars…awww, poor little ex-con Martha.

As for what Stewart thinks about Palin or anyone else, means nothing to me, criminals (Convicts) do not have the right to throw stones.
———————
At this moment however, I am once again ticked off that four Navy Seals are in trouble over the capture of the Al Qaeda mastermind of the murder and mutilation of four Blackwater guards, then hanging them from a bridge. After the Capture, the Seals are now in the brig because this “Terrorist War Criminal” had a bloody lip.

I would not lose any sleep had they had claimed he had a AK-47 and took him out in self defense. I wish this Administration and Congress would come under the same type of investigations, they afford our Military.
