OK now I'm pissed: Tweety: "Could the Dems have won with the right

[grannylib]

candidate?"
It's fucking SEPTEMBER - don't fucking tell me the election's over, you pompous windbag - you or any of the other right-wing, corporate-owned media whores.
FUCK YOU! This ain't over by a long shot.
FUCK ALL OF YOU!!
Damn I hate corporate television.

1. He was a complete Jackass today...

...anfd I've noticed his show has been moved...(not a good sign from upstairs)...He has staked his ground on the "Kerry not being clear on Iraq issue". Now I understand why the Clinton's avoid him like the plague.

[incapsulated]

2. Stop watching that asshole

For your own mental and physical health, I'm begging you. Nobody else that matters, is. It's a political junkie show.

[Bleacher Creature]

3. Couldn't agree more.

But is your screen name accurate? If so, you are one cool fired-up "granny."

[grannylib]

15. *lol* thanks - yes, I am a gran twice over - an 8-year-old grandson, and

a 9-year-old granddaughter.
They are the lights of my life.

[WI_DEM]

4. Indeed it is too early to write the Kerry campaign off

Heck a candidate is at most 3 or 4 points down in early Sept and they are ready to write him off.

[liveoaktx]

Consider Tweety a Jerry Springer of Opinion show

He doesn't even call himself a news show. It's just him looking to get hot over a Republican in a flight suit.

[PROGRESSIVE1]

24. Let us be a little more respectful of Jerry Springer now.

[PCIntern]

5. Good question from Tweety

The answer is no, not as far as they're concerned - you can't win with any candidate as long as GE and whomever is vetting them...the 'fix' is in and the first aspect of that execution is to tell people that their guy is already a loser so that they'll switch their vote to be on the winning side. These guys are going to TRY to see to it that you can't win, but it is not our agenda - not this time.

We're gonna beat these bastards and have them eating crow.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

6. I have Dish Network's

program of 10 channels for $15.00. Right now, I get CNN for news, but am seriously considering changing to BBC. I have no faith in American news sources any more.

[grannylib]

17. Oh man, upgrade so you can get Free Speech TV - it's the best.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

22. I refuse to upgrade

because of two reasons:
1. It costs more money, and with a sick and unemployed husband, even five bucks can make a difference

2. I can substitute any station for one I have, so I'll consider Free Speech TV.

[grannylib]

23. Oh I didn't know you could do that - I'll have to check that out.

Sick unemployed husband here too, so I empathize totally with the $$ situation.
Hope things improve:hug:

[seabeyond]

7. further, we have the electorate, if they are added

they may be close states, but still the numbers are on our side. so not only is it not over, the race is still close. bush isnt even the position today of saying he is a winner let alone two months from now

[DancingBear]

8. This is Day Four of my "no-Tweety" diet

Try it - it does wonders for your mental health!

Nobody save political wonks watch him - especially on Sunday.

He had me fooled for a bit - but thankfully I'm cured!!!!

[LittleClarkie]

37. Do you have any idea

How long it took for me to figure out who Tweedy was.

I actually thought Matthews was okay when he went after John O'Neill. But he hopping down the Bushie bunny trail right now.

Some repubs I talk to like him and say he's fair and balanced.

I'd actually give that tag to Tim Russert on Meet The Press.

I'll just continue getting my news from The Onion, meself.

[Proud2BAmurkin]

9. cocksucker

.

[jimshoes]

10. Is it possible that

the tweety's of this world are so isolated from the grass roots Americans that they really don't see the groundswell of support for Kerry/Edwards. Polls notwithstanding, as I do not have any faith in any of them.

[WiseMen]

11. He is being HONEST. Heard about that. He added, "or could Kerry

have done it with the right team and .."

Was pretty reasonable given the August SwiftBoat debacle.

Fact that Kerry did not fire whoever failed to mount an immediate
rebuttal and counter-offensive in August indicates a major
problem.

Going against an incumbent is always hard. Will never understand
why Kerry campaign did not go for the kill during the Convention.

[SoCalDem]

19. Just remember how FEW people even know who Chris Matthews is

Ask someone random..if they know who he is.. or if they have ever seen Hardball??

We tend to get riled up, because it MATTERS to us, but lots of people will go to the polls and will have never seen much on CNN/MSGOP or FOX..

Remember too, that lots of the people who voted for * in 2000 will NOT be voting for him this time, and probably EVERYONE who voted for Gore WILL vote for Kerry :)

[LittleClarkie]

38. Kerry's a gentleman

And they probably figured a negative campaign would go against the ones being negative. So they tried the high road, and got their butts shot.

I'm glad he's hitting harder now. I want more proaction and less reaction, though. We'll see. I still have faith.

[Uzybone]

40. the defeatist strikes again

why dont you actually wait till the election is over before your post mortems?

[TheWebHead]

12. I love how Tweety

asks his panel of millionaire elitist journalists if rescinding Bush's tax cut for the rich is a good strategy, and naturally they say it isn't.

[Doosh]

13. Kerry was the right candidate, he won the primaries convincingly

and his campaign was a well oiled machine after the right changes were made, Kerry was chosen by the voters.

does anybody think we'd be better off with a Gephardt/Graham ticket?

[alcuno]

14. Maria Bartiromo predicted * by 12!

I can't stomach her.

[TheWebHead]

20. I didn't get that bit of the conversation

she says "landslide" and says 12 --- 12 what? electoral votes? that isn't a landslide. 12 states? with California and NY going to Kerry, that likely wouldn't be a landslide either.

[alcuno]

28. 12% of the popular vote.

That's what I took it to mean. "Bush will win and win big." Maria is predicting that * will win by 12 million votes. I had assumed that Maria understood percents but now I'm not so sure.

[umtalal]

16. Listen grannylib. Tweety is a complete waste of time. he is not one of us.

[grannylib]

21. I know - it just pisses me off that the gullible, the stupid, and the

mutant sheeple DO listen to him and believe the 21st-century-Nazi propaganda.

[MoonRiver]

18. I've written off Tweet.

Don't watch the whores. You'll feel a lot better!

[AmerDem]

25. Tweety has been discredited by mostly everyone

This nitwit is doing his damnedist to hold onto the overinflated pay check. he all but washed up. Ignore this princess haired asshole all together!

[Supersedeas]

30. Tweety is YELLOW with dollar signs in his eyes

[xray s]

26. who cares

tweety get 0.5 ratings. That's 440,000 viewers. There are 295,000,000 people in the US. That means 99.9% of the population doesn't watch tweety. neither should you.

[dumpster_baby]

27. Do you get a load of the don't raise taxes" propaganda on his show

The media continues to prop up the fiction that Americans are against raising taxes on the rich.

[union_maid]

29. Taking a break

I'm going to back to The Daily Show as my source for TV news. I'm getting too mad and too stressed. I saw Tweety and thought the same thing. He's declaring it over? Asshole!

Anything I need to know I can learn right here, I figure. And if there's something worth seeing, someone with a better blood pressure reading will give a heads up. Like Wes Clark on Today. That was worth watching.

[grannylib]

33. the General is always worth watching. I love Jon Stewart; he really does

do the best job of reporting out there! (other than some of the oddball stations that not many people get - FSTV, Link, BBC, etc.)

[janx]

31. Can anyone give a little context to this statement?

Is there a transcript?

[grannylib]

34. Not sure if you can find transcripts for Hardball at the MSNBC site or not

might be worth a look-see...

[BootinUp]

35. Link for transcripts, but I don't think this one is up yet

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3719710/

[grasswire]

32. I was slumming at FR today...

...and I saw a thread with a blurb telling that NBC is thinking of "shuttering" Hardball, leaving Tweety free to go elsewhere. Fox, perhaps. I think his contract expires in 2006. But I spose they could shut him down.

[Snivi Yllom]

36. they had a roundtable throw in the towel Softball session

just like that, the MSM is rolling over so they dont get shut out for 4 years

[Nightjock]

39. I really believe he has a personality disorder

or no control over his show whatsoever.

On Bill Mahrer he obviously leaned toward Kerry.
When he was on the Daily Show (after Zell Miller) he told John Stewart "you have the best show on television."

The fucker gets no ratings now, so why not tell the truth if you want a chance at "Daily Show-like" ratings?!

He has dissapointed me for the last time. After he went after the Swift Boat Liars I sent him a glowing e-mail. I think I will send him one final message that his split personality shtick of messing with the truth has worn off on me.
And I am done with his show(s).
