“I have to offer a ‘Keith-style’ Special Comment on that. Anyone who voted to screw up the political system of this country with the purpose of mischief should carry that with them the rest of their lives. What a ridiculous way to use the vote for which people fought and died — to use that vote to make mischief. I hope you’re proud of yourself.”

Amen, Tweety. Amen.

And for crying out loud! Isn’t what rashbo did called electioneering? if so, ain’t that just a weeee bit ILLEGAL???

Limbaugh has turned his whole show into this idea of somehow enacting revenge on the democrats. Good for Matthews. Too bad Matthews still sucks.

Once in a while, Chris rises up in righteous indignation and nails it. This is one of those times.

Shadowgm Hussein Says:

I don’t care if it was 11 dittoheads or 11,000. It’s called tampering with a federal election, and it’s a felony. It might even constitute other crimes, since it was done via his broadcast.

Rush ought to be indicted. Proof? Check out the new registrations and see if they switched parties.

Kudos to Matthews, but for a bit of context, he also could’ve mentioned the ultimate election fiasco of 2000 – also known as American Lie

Nothing is new here–Bush wants the Clintons in again–so his ass is covered. Rushballs is also wanting Hillary as President,cause she ain’t a true democrat.If she gets elected–America will be the laughing stock of the world. Hillary is a Israel firster,little does she care for us low lifers.
Recall,backwhen–they could not qualify for a mortgage and had to get a co-signer for their home,Yaah!–copuldn’t afford it–my Ass!
This month she give her campaign $6.5 million on top of the $5 million

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton loaned her campaign $6.4 million from her own pocket in the past month, a campaign source said on Wednesday.

The personal loan, the second she has made to her campaign, comes as Clinton struggles to stay in the grueling Democratic race against rival Barack Obama, who beat her in a North Carolina nominating contest on Tuesday. Clinton narrowly edged out Obama in Indiana.

I agree! I think that there should be an election fraud investigation against Rush Limabugh.

Tweety’s our “bread and butter”.

Left&Left Says:

The only way the right wing will defeat Obama is through some crazy manufactured scandal or voting manipulation. Hillary’s failed right wing bullshit only served to help prepare Obama for the fall. The primary is over. Obama ‘08.

P.D. Says:

Could it be that Matthews knows the way the wind is blowing? He, himself stated he is going to run for office in 2012. The Republican name is tarnished, so he better stay on the ball.

21
L.A. Confidential Says:

Oh Tweety what would we do without Thee?

Let me count the things.

♠Bangkok-Bob♠ Says:

It certainly wasn’t Keith-Style in my opinion. Keith would have gone to much greater lengths to keep Limbaughs name in front of the comment and certainly would have brought in the “un-patriotic” words to add to the comment.

But I guess any dissing of this act of electoral maneuvering by a Radio personality is good.
Chris deserves some little props for saying this.

Anyone and everyone is fair game now. Nothing to do with ethics just status and paychecks.

Caleb Says:

I hate to play devils advocate here but these elections are not the ones that “people fought and died for.” This is an exercise created by the national party system and are NOT constitutionally mandated or required. The parties are allowed to pick their nominee however they choose. And if the party has made that process open to shenanigans … I think it is naive to think that this hasn’t happened before on both sides, and to give a blood and guts wrapped in the flag response to this is uncalled for and ignorant.

Okay Rush, I’ll go after you, then you counter me after, then, uh oh waitress bring us a couple more beers.

Do you think Rush is crying now that his Operation Chaos has been rendered ineffective? Most people who switched from Repug to Demo said they lost faith in their party. I think Rush is reaching for the Oxy-conton.

Screw you tweety.

In open primary states like Texas, it’s not against the law, unless they try to vote in both primaries. You can cross party lines, but not vote twice (except you are allowed to vote twice within one party by one vote at the primary and a second vote at the caucus.)

ghostrider Says:

What a cynical bastard Rush had to be to encourage this. And clearly his followers care nothing for this country. Well said Matthews.

getalife Says:

Yes, the left did it too.

America did not choose the fighter and gas prices will rise.

I commend this blog for staying neutral in the long ridiculous process the dems call an election.

You get what you vote for and the one who would fight for change is gone.

I think it will get much worse, you are on your own and think this blog will be very busy when the dems unite with gop for corporate interests and let us all down as usual.

geneHUSSEIN214 Says:

One would be hard pressed to find a more schizophrenic commentator than Chris Matthews. Honestly, I just don’t know what to make of this guy. On one hand his bizarre, misogynistic on air comments (together with his disgusting on air man crush on Bush, Fred Thompson, John McCrazy) makes him your typical reichwing media stooge, but then, every now and then (like this comment) he really does tell it like it is. I still don’t like the guy, but this was pretty cool.

41
DHavok Says:

I have to say he should have also blasted the Clintons. When Rush Limbaugh still makes reference to Vince Foster and the Clintons “murdering” him, then Bill Clinton still goes on his show to campaign for his wife, then I have to think that the Clinton campaign is ok with “Operation Chaos”. I’ve met some of the dittoheads who are doing this crap and they have no intention of voting for her in the fall anyway, so why do they find it acceptable for them to use these idiots to win?

Rush is horrible for doing what he’s doing, but the Clintons have apparently embraced this approach, so they are almost as bad.

i missed this, buti just remembered something else …

last night, tweety kept bringing up lessons that barack learned from hillary…

W T F ???

i think i saw a very slight smirk on brokaw when tweety asked him about it, but
other than that, though no one seemed to agree with him, no one called out that silly notion either… well, maybe timmy agreed with him, in a way…

i just thought it was ridiculous… really grasping at straws there…

and what’s with timmy saying barack should pay off hillary’s debt???
HUH???

iraqhusseinconcilable Says:

Why shouldn’t Rush be proud of himself ? Here’s a fat, dishonest, flaccid, painfully unfunny drug addict who’s transformed his only talent, high-speed disinformation, into a multi-million dollar empire . And as long as his “friends” are in power, there’s not a damn thing that’s going to happen to him . Enjoy the sun, Mr. Cellulite. Winter’s coming in November.

I truly doubt it.

Pol Pot-O-Cheesesauce Says:

I do believe that people are crossing over and voting Democrat because as Newtie and others have said about their own party, the Repuglican brand is damaged goods.

The pederast Lush Limpballs is trying to explain or spin this exodus as the faithful heeding his message. I say they are “rush”ing to get out of the toilet that is the repunk party and avoid the overflow so as not to get any more of their shit on them. It’s rats deserting a sinking ship, and as long as they vote Democrat this November, we’ll rescue them.

No matter how much the child molesting, Viagra eating, hillbilly heroin using, gleeking bladder of vitriolic piss, and god loving evangelical cocksucking moralizer, racist, homophobe traitor, exudes his pompous ideological pustules of repug values, people see through his vacuous transparent flailing of a drowning man and philosophy. People are fleeing the burning building, not crossing over because of what a self important piece of overgrown oozing piloidial cyst has to say. The Republican brand is damaged goods.

What has Limpballs been saying this morning?

secularhumanizinevoluter Says:

Gee, so I guess Obama and all his pleas for folks to reregister and become Dems for a day means HE’S in the same league as ol limpwithnoballs huh? Pretty august company there mr. Hopechangey. And you say ol limpwithnoballs committed CRIMES, ELECTION FRAUD! Gee, being the cleaner then the new fallen snow, new politics, politics of HOPE and CHANGE Mr. Hopeychangey will turn himself in and plead guilty.

48
abdiel Says:

Oh come on! Like voting actually counts for anything…anymore…

This bloody system is rigged and broken — anyone who really believes that there are actually choices in national elections are drinking the so-called two party cool-aid. I think Limpballs actions may in fact be the most honest depiction of the farce that is American presidential politics — he showed that no matter what party you side with, voting for any of the corp-rats makes no difference.

This election was decided four years ago. The drama of the DemocRAT primaries was designed to be the national soap opera that would keep Americans interested and on the edge of their seats. The corporate state is playing the public like a fiddle — and stories like this are humming right along.

That’s about all you can say in times like these. Good on him today, but tomorrow he may need to be ‘blasted’ himself!

kerplunk Says:

Overall however, Chris Matthews has helped in the destruction of America.

His deliberate continuing immoral behavior concerning journalism should certainly put him in the hall of shame along with Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Katie Couric, Paula Zahn, Wolf Blitzer, Andrea “True Connection” Mitchell, and Chris Wallace.

53
liberalista Says:

So now Tweety’s upset with Rush for telling people to vote for Clinton? Why did Tweety remain silent through the active campaign, “Democrat for a Day”, which was launched by the Axelrod team telling Republicans to register in open primaries and caucuses to vote against Clinton?

Hell, an Obama operative was caught red-handed peddling this garbage in NV, but Tweety remained silent. Tweety’s trying desperately to regain some credibility.

Good luck with that.

John Says:

Am I missing something? Wasn’t it a little while ago that people were trying to mess with the political system in Michigan? People trying to have “fun” in Michigan and vote for Mitt Romney? Remember this:

Sounds kind of hypocritical to me to point this Rush Dimbaugh thing out yet neglect the former.

This back and forth thing on both sides is childish. That’s all I got to say.
