hmmm… my college roommate was almost date raped by a “Mark Williams”… and years later, I knew a “Mark Williams”, a Mensa Chicago member who bragged about stealing cable and was upset that I didn’t think that was ethical….

Is it the name? Is it like the mass killer with “Wayne” as a middle name phenomenon?

ick. (Actually, since my roomie and I are now in our mid (late) forties — this crazy Hardball Mark Williams might be the same date rapist jerk… I’ll have to send her the link and find out!)

I saw this piece…blah blah blah…Democrats…blah blah…weak on war…blah blah blah…undermining the troops…blah blah blah…reporting to the Congress on military actions aids the terrorists…blah blah blah…FRIIIIIST.

Well, his head’s almost big enough to fill Tweety’s shoes (metaphorically). I wonder if it’s a tryout.

He sure gets excited. I hope he doesn’t burst a blood vessel. That would be unfortunate.

Yeah, such an intelligent debate… when he calls Nancy Pelosi, “Nancy Botox” now that’s mature, ain’t it? Really furthers his cause. Sheesh. Where DID they dig him up? Getting harder to still find Bush Supporters, is it?

There’s one in every market. For every three hours this jerk is on the airwaves there should be three hours of exactly the opposite from the left.

Silly me, I have degrees in business, political science and paralegal.

And they get these guys from the Stockyard auction.

Wow. Simply wow.

And we wonder why the 20%ers are the way they are. Listen to this nonsense for 3+ hours per day and see what happens to your brain.

To paraphrase Mary Matalin…”Think of the braincells!!”

This Williams fellow is quite irrational. I feel sorry for his family.

Waddya bet when Mark Williams is not on the air yammering about Nancy Botox, he’s leaving comments on the C&L site on our need to be civil in our discourse?

At least when he made the “Botox” remark, Matthews cut him off and said something like “That doesn’t help me.” In context it made Williams look like delinquent child that had to be reprimanded. Pretty cool for Matthews.

Why is anyone surprised by this–you were watching Hardball. A friend of mine told me about this today and she said that Matthews said that this clown was an old friend of his.

This is vintage Matthews–it just shows, that he may be making a lot of money now, but he will never have good manners or judgment–one can tell by the company one keeps.

Stop watching him, his ratings dry up, and voila, he’s gone.

Angry, defensive, batshit crazy. And those are his good points.

Maybe we can run the old Public Service Announcements: “This is your Brain. (shows an egg) This is your Brain on Drugs. (shows egg being fried in pan) This is your Brain on Right Wingnut radio.” (show egg sliding off the teflon pan into the garbage).

I would bet that he’s drinking himself stupid to avoid having to face up to what an asshole he is.

The really sad thing is that the wingnuttery isn’t even good tv anymore.

The same old tired lines, same old rhetoric. The right wing needs new bullshit.

This is sure to be the next big thing among local TV stations. Staking out a position in the political spectrum. I can hear it now…KBLAT We’re conservative & proud. Market by market a whole bunch of little FOXES. We need the Fairness Doctrine….seriously.

Good point. I WAS happy to see Matthews do that, but still, when did it become OK to marginalize people on their appearance on a National Forum? When Nixon began sweating on the TEEVEE?

Imagine what his spouse must be on! LOLOLOL!

The spin doctors are out and they’re letting us know that Army Gen. David H. Petraeus can’t spin the story fast enough to make us delusional. They need to take matters into their own hands, so Gen. Petraeus leave your report on Gates desk for doctoring. When will America realize how wrong things have gone ———> http://www.youpolls.com/details.asp?pid=343

Williams is even more idiotic than that clip demonstrates. His evening show on KFBK 1530-AM (the Clear Channel toxic dump that gave Rush Limbaugh his start in Sacramento) was a landmine of logic-free wingnut vitriolic spew and hatejabber, which could be entertaining, like when he encouraged SUV drivers to run over bicyclists, but you always felt like you needed a shower afterward. Williams, aka “Adolf Chipmunk,” proved to be too nutty even for Clear Channel, which fired his authoritarian government-loving ass after advertisers started getting some heat from pissed-off locals. So then he started some bozo group called “Move America Forward,” aka “Make Amerika Fascist,” with Melanie Morgan, his San Francisco counterpart who’s at least as insane as Williams. The crime isn’t that people as nutty as this can spout their opinions, but that the corporate media gives these imbeciles a soapbox to spew their hateful views without offering equal access to people with more reasonable points of view. Screw Tweety for putting this moron on the air.

the only places to watch, concerning politics is keith olbermann and the comedy channel, anywhere else is a total waste of time.

It’s only by getting someone crazier than a loon to make a loon look sane, but a loon’s a loon…

A loon again…naturally.

What?

I got about 30 seconds into it and had to stop it. This guy is like a republican talking points Chatty Cathy, just pull the string. Put this guy on a bus and drop him off in downtown Fallujah.

Is he Sean Hannity’s daddy? I see a resemblance.

Jokes aside…what a piece of shit!

Am I the only one who can’t download this video?

Boston? Chris Mathews is from Pennsylvania, and just about everywhere else other than Boston. This guy can’t even get the facts straight when he’s trying to tell the truth. “Plucking the pennies off of the eyelids of the newly dead.”???? Does Dennis Miller know this guy is trying to steal his material or style?

Rum Runner, the wmv download link doesn’t work for me.

Maybe there’s a method to Tweety’s maddness . . .

Does anyone know if Mark Williams ever served in the military?

He uses the Rhythm Method.

If all white couples used the Rhythm Method, there’d be more white kids, since we all know white people have no rhythm.

Guy is lying about his dog. Any self-respecting dog would bite this AssClown.

Damn, they both give my hometown (Boston) a black eye, bloody nose, and inflamed hemorrhoids. And now I’m in SF, which is fortunately upwind from Sacramento.

It’s a shame the 1/2-hour New Hour show is getting canned - Mark Williams would have been a great addition to their team.

It’s good that Mathews has nutballs like this guy on his show. Everyone, including the rational people on the Right, gets a sample of how crazy far right wingnuts actually are.

This is very upsetting because I live in Sacramento. I have never watched the channel 13 morning show and I do not listen to the local Reich wing radio station KFBK. The upsetting part is that channel 13 is the local CBS affiliate, CBS carries the NFL, David Letterman, CSI, CSI NY, (I don’t care fore CSI Miami), 2 and 1/2 Men, and Numbers. It is going to be hard to boycott all of these shows but RIGHT IS RIGHT.

My god- did that man just argue that we should be emulating the Nazis and imperial Japan?

Oh, God. The time I spent watching that is gone forever. Damn.

When the Rethug. ignorant and dumb bastards don’t have a clue what the hell they are talking about they yell, scream and always make total ASSES of themselves.

I like your nom de’ guerre.

When I was a kid some tied only firecrackers to cat tails.

Not me though, I was learning my 10 Commandments

From MAD magazine.

Wiki says that Matthews was born in Philly. Atrios must be thrilled.

Maybe the Boston reference comes from his years with Tip O’Neill.

So, the Boston Police Department does not protect their citizens? I mean that is the only thing I really heard.

Cat Atomic @ 43:

Pretty much.

Stewart says it best. As someone who opposed this war from the beginning, why should I not be angry that we were (at best) led by incompetents with rose colored glasses on who believed what they wanted to about intelligence to start the war and arrogantly made every possible blunder in executing the war “plan” without any plan for the eventual occupation of this country. (At worst) They lied to us and ignored every opportunity to get it right all along.
Finally, sychophants like this guy Williams call us who were right all along about this fiasco cowards and traitors …and they get a voice on national TV!! It’s absolutely infuriating. And you’re right, John Amato, the only solace we can take is that loudmouths like Williams manage to expose themselves for the “Pukes” they are by making fools out of themselves on shows like this.

I prefer calling them asshats. Has a nice ring to it.

it’s not enough, or maybe even the right thing, to email williams. matthews is the one who needs to get it into his head that he debases the politics in this country when he has on williams, coulter, et al. there have to be, there must be, some principled, reasoned conservative voices. it’s not about shushing them if they say something outlandish, it’s about not having them on to begin with.

email the show hardball@msnbc.com — be nice but be clear that these kinds of people are what’s wrong with political discourse.

the blog is here http://hardblogger.msnbc.msn.com/ if he posts related to a segment that one of these guests was on, add a comment (be nice) that

the sponsor awareness movement is also a great way to go.
