I don't believe Chris Matthews is "partisan".

http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionar...ris%20Matthews

He has voted Republican several times, including 2000. I think he was honestly taken aback by Ms Malkin suggesting Kerry may have "shot himself", something even the SWIFTBOATERS are not saying.

Malkin is approaching "Coulter" status with her "venom". She was on Rush the next day complaining that Keith Olberman called her "an idiot". He did not. He said "she had made a fool of herself". She is so "bright" that she could not even quote "a perceived insult" correctly.

And for anyone to raise her "ethnicity" in regards to Chris Matthews ought to be ashamed of themselves. Why would you even think that? What has "race" have to do with this issue?

PATHETIC..

Chris Matthews was the one who suggested Kerry shot himself.. Malkin suggested the wounds could have been self-inflicted due to recent allegations.

Ethnicity MATTERS because in this case it was a CAUCASIAN MALE attacking a ASIAN FEMALE. It would matter if a WHITE MAN SHOUTED DOWN A BLACK WOMAN. If Rush Limbaugh shouted at Carol Mosely-Braun the left would NEVER shut up about it. And you know it and are being inherently dishonest. I can honestly say that i have spoken to asians who saw it and they literally said something akin to..

Who does Chris Matthews think he is?

Keep making threads over this and i will continue to refute it. You have NO defense here other than Chris Matthew has BECOME(DO YOU UNDERSTAND PRESENT TENSE?) partisan recently as have ALL YOU LEFTIES. And AMericans see it more and more everyday.

..ilk..

She was intellectually dishonest, is a partisan trollop and got the *****-slapping she richly deserved...

I am no fan of Chris Matthews, he is a part of the failed media machine that has failed to hold bush accountable to the same standards applied to his predecessor, but on occasion when he sees garbage he makes the right call...

We are supposed to feel sorry for someone who is a paid Faux Spews contributor and gets called on the carpet when her bias and balatant partisanship are exposed...??

Sorry Michelle, no sale sweetie...

Chris Matthews suggested the Kerry shot himself? Your ststements above are exactly why we will NEVER be able to put this race issue to rest. You are the only one..the only one I have heard make "hay" about Malkin's heritage.

At the Democratic Convention, Matthews berated Al Sharpton for his speech. Al Sharpton is a firebrand and I happened to agree with Matthews somewhat. But I never heard anyone say that Matthews "attacked Sharpton coz he is black" That is idiotic..just like your comments regarding Malkin.

BTW - Here is the transcript from the show:

If you would be so kind to point out where CM "suggested" Kerry shot himself, I would appreciate it.

The first person to say shot himself in the conversation was Chris Matthews.. At no time did Malkin say Kerry shot himself.. There is a big difference in *self-inflicted* and *shot himself*.. and this is extremely dishonest due to the fact the Olbermann attacked Malkin again saying she misquoted his statements about her. When that is what is happening here... a flat out lie from you guys and Matthews.

**quote**
MALKIN: Well, yes. Why don‘t people ask him more specific questions about the shrapnel in his leg. They are legitimate questions about whether or not it was a self-inflicted wound.

(CROSSTALK)


MOST GUNS DO NOT CAUSE SHRAPNEL WOUNDS.

MATTHEWS: What do you mean by self-inflicted? Are you saying he shot himself on purpose? Is that what you‘re saying?

She tried the old "some people say" trick and got caught...

He does one "self-inflict" a gun shot wound without shooting one's self?

She tried floating another right-wing lie and got smacked down...AGAIN..No-one with any integrity has suggested that Kerry's wounds were self-inflicted, but the right-wing tries to float these little nuggets to get them lodged in the public's mind....If you repeat a lie often enough it becomes true...

I guess I am "weeping" now? ... So pray tell..What do you suppose Ms Malkin was referring to by "self inflicting" ?I guess he mooned the VC and baited them to shoot him in the leg, right?

CM asked her if that was what she was implying.. At the end of the conversation, CM also stated in an answer to her that the idea of Kerry "INFLICTING HIS OWN WOUNDS" never even crossed his mind.

And Malkin did "misquote" what Olberman said. Do you doubt that?

Flat out lie? I am not lying about anything. I am just discussing what I saw and what I read.

The reason I took up this discussion with you was solely on the fact that you "surprised me" (maybe not) by pointing out that a WHITE MALE YELLED AT AN ASIAN FEMALE!! (still scratching my head about that) And why you chose to bring that point into the issue? If it had been Ann Coulter, would you have made that point too..a WHITE MALE YELLING AT A WHITE FEMALE?

Certainly, you have your points about the conversation and its content but you seem to be reaching for straws by playing the "race card".

No need to do that, my friend!!

so don't try to play Dodgeball now... Chris Matthews will be doing that later...

I wish Saber would get involved here.. even with his liberal views he would have to point out that a gunshot wound has nothing to do with a SHRAPNEL wound. Actually, i have never heard anyone assert that Kerry shot himself before Matthews said it... err asked a pointed question about it in hopes of hamstringing the whole conversation i mean...

A GUNSHOT WOUND IS THE RESULT OF BEING FIRED UPON AND HIT WITHA BULLET FROM A GUN... HENCE THE NAME.

A SHRAPNEL WOUND USUALLY COMES FROM A GRENADE OR MINE... ASK MAX CLELAND ABOUT SHRAPNEL WOUNDS... HE CAN TELL YOU WHERE THEY COME FROM... I KNOW ONE THING.. IT ISN'T FROM A GUN...

Are you trying to tell me that Chris Matthews doesn't know the difference?

I will not even claim that..Far as I know Chris Matthews was in the "PEACE CORPS" ..I don't think they carried guns.

Saber..You need "liberal back-up? Is that what you are saying?

Dodgeball? I don't have to..You are doing a fine job of that, though with your "word parsing".

I believe she used the term "self-inflicted." And according to military regulations, it is "self-inflicted" when someone gets wounded by a grenade they threw, etc. That doesn't imply "intention." Chris tried to turn what she said into something else.
