If this is how Matthews is going to act from here on out, I may need to start watching his show.

He's usually been a good barometer of what the empty-headed chattering class is going to be saying. He's either broken out from the herd, and became a real journalist, or the whole herd is about to turn.

What has happened to Chris Matthews lately? The guy is eating his Wheaties or something, because he really just hit the nail on the head there with his point about certain buzzwords being used to silence one's critics without having to engage their arguments.

Let's hope he keeps it up.

Really good interview. *promote

It's true. The essence of patriotism and love for America is standing up for her democracy and for your beliefs, not mindlessly agreeing with the President. As soon as we all buckle under pressure from power and give up fighting, we've given up on the dream of the founding fathers.

This is a good start, but we NEED a lot more of this. Personally I think journalists need to call bullshit when someone lies.

And by that I mean they need to litterally say, "I'm sorry sir (or ma'am), but that is bullshit. _X_ days ago you said _Y_ not _Z_. Here is your direct quote, 'blah, blah, blah'. Are you lying now or were you lying then you lying hipocritical fuckbag?"

Something along those lines anyway.

I tried the google once.. got the munchies.. i'm not touching the stuff again.

This guy's exactly right, wish he was over here slapping our useless politicians/commentators down.

(BTW, this reactionary "omg he disagreed with something american the bastard" thing happens here on the sift RE comment voting... did i mention this enough yet?:)

Oh man Kevin's career was over before it began. He needs a big rock to hide under about now.

Was that American Televised Media just condemning meaningless rhetoric and buzzwords?

I seem them now, 4 horsemen approach.

Upvote for an actual debate.

I hope Matthews continues with this. Olbermann is as bad as O'Reilly with his rants; he doesn't get anything positive done (save for making O'Reilly look like more of a prick). We need real newsmen/women to get up and fight the good fight.

I was thinking the same thing. Is this the same guy who had his hand down Bush's pants five or six years ago?

I think it's exciting but ultimately will disappoint, I doubt this would have been the same reception given to someone bigger like Karl Rove or Rush Limbaugh.

Kevin James is small fry.

I know, fight the fascist slogans.

Also, some nice, *waronterror *worldaffairs talk too. Shameless self promotion - I'm bitching about the 9/11 hyper-reactions in Canada too.
