After watching this video clip, it's very clear to me that Dan Choyoui is a closeted republican! He's willingly IGNORANT about policy and procedure in congress, and his HATRED of President Obama is quite evident..Mr. Choi, you can now sit down and shut the fuck up! It brings me great joy in knowing that a President you hate so much has given you something NO OTHER President has .....DADT has been Repealed under President Obama, and you racist republican queers can now shut the fuck up!
@DigableDude Now that's an excellent observation and comment!
To be honest, I do believe Choi is a part of that oxymoronic group (Log Cabin Republicans). As recent as today he was on the Thom Hartmann show bitching and complaing about Obama. At the end, after Thom allowed him to spread his lies, he told the President, "you're are hearby put on notice!"
For what?
Can't these clowns see him for what he TRULY represents? I would be totally surprised if Rachel Maddow EVER has him on again.
this is why Chris Matthews is the only MSNBC show that I consider unwatchable.. such a smug, interrupting, arrogant prick.. his only skill is that he's the most effective interrupter, and he's got the perfect pitch and volume of voice to cut someone off mid-sentence.. he gives zero respect to lt. choi here, a man who risked his freaking life in the hell of iraq during the bush years.. chris matthews is a damn joke and i wish they'd replace his ass with anyone, even a neo-con, f chris matthews
Lt. Choi is right. This is not a Republican vs Democrat issue - when it is framed that way, it just empowers Republicans like McCain to be obstructionist.
It seems that Dan Choi and others think that the President is their enemy. Congress approved DADT, and now Congress has to repeal it. Choi says he don't need to understand why certain politicians vote the way that they do, all he know is it's the right thing to do. Lt. Choi, in a perfect world they would do that (slavery took a couple of hundred years to strike down). Matthews asked Choi, how does the President *ignore* the 'will' of congress. The Pres. can't ignore the Congress.
@dustee He can definitely go with the federal courts to take down DADT. The fact that Obama and Eric Holder have appealed the federal court's decision to rule DADT as unconstitutional make them the enemies of progress. And no, they don't have to obey the will of congress if the judiciary finds the will of congress to be unconstitutional.
I would have like to have seen Lt. Dan grab Matthew's neck and rip his frickin head off. Message to MSNBC, please pull that putz (Matthews) off the air. As if Choi should know why Congress doesn't pass something, what a typical lame-ass Matthews's question. Most members of Congress are there for the perks and benefits, and to enrich themselves, unfortunately the process is so broken that few are there to properly govern and represent the people.
He gets agitated because as alway MATTHEWS is an extremely provocative and rude host who is too lazy to even do homework to find out what/who guests are...
UNLESS they are from his own little Beltway buddy group.
If this dillhole wants to know why Congress votes the way it does, then he should ask people from congress. Choi has no authority to speak to why Congress does what it does. He's a gay man who served his country, and is being treated as a second class citizen, so narrow the questioning to his area of expertise. This Matthews shill ain't very bright is he.
"how does the president ignore the will of the congress?" its called a fucking veto matthews!!! and the president appoints supreme court members. the senate is supposed to be chosen by state legislatures. you see how this left nonsense keeps going in a 'insanity circle'? how do you have your own show again? Sorry you have to deal with leftards...that we created. Lt Choi.
@scalp340 How does the president veto it? congressed passed it!!! the senate rejected it therefore it never got to his desk to do anything about it. you need to learn how the law works.
So what if these soldiers like it in the dirt box! They fight for you! And who cares? Really? Who? Gays are already serving! Who cares! Salute all soldiers! Happy veterans day:)
If someone is taking up your case you don't fight them when they are fighting for you. Just because you don't like how fast or the manner they are going about it. Dan Choi said he is sorry he voted for Obama. Well fuck him he doesn't deserve Obama's help then. Dan Choi is not helping anyones cause but his own.
@snipzor fuck you let him do nothing else and see where it goes moron.... just where it's been good luck! now I really don't care if they repeal it or not anymore congratulations!
@lasvegasjh The notion that Obama can only do one thing at a time is a fucking joke. Yea, Don't Ask Don't Tell is the straw that broke the camel's back, bullshit, it seems as if he appeals of federal courts that make it unconstitutional require much more work than just letting the courts do their thing.
There are literally three ways in which Obama can deal with it, and having the courts make the call of DADT's lack of constitutional existence, is the easiest thing in the world.
@snipzor the only one who needs to apologize here is you to the gay community for your behavior. calling names is not the way to make friends and to get people to see your point of view. yelling like Dan choi is doing at someone who is on his side is not going to help his case. but your welcome.
@lasvegasjh The only thing I have to apologize for is giving you the finger, which you didn't see, and saying under my breath that you're a cunt, something you didn't hear. The anger I've demonstrated is a result of The Arrogant One's constant side stepping of gay issues, he said he was so fiercely advocating.
So fierce he didn't actually call a single senator but instead let the DoJ appeal a federal court decision to call DADT unconstitutional.
@snipzor ok here you go I maybe a cunt but I'm a cunt that can join the military oh and get married. that is directed to you and you only. fucking asshole
@lasvegasjh Well done Obamabot! Hope you are proud of yourself. Put your own idiocy over civil rights. But get this, Canadians got those rights without your help, dickhead.
@lasvegasjh "Dan Choi is not helping anyones (sic) cause but his own."
He's helping gay military members from not having to lose their jobs because they're gay. You make it sound as if he's only out for himself. And how many causes is he supposed to be representing? What he's doing is courageous by going up against the powers that be. And that's true weather or not you feel the same way he does about DADT.
Chris Matthews is absolutely correct. No president can just ignore the current laws of congress. Dan Choi is an opportunist using every opportunity to be in the press and get a photo op for himself. Frankly he seems like a trouble maker and I wouldn’t be surprised if they threw him out for being a trouble maker and used him being gay as an excuse. The law has been in effect for years be patient for a few more months. If you can’t wait you shouldn’t have joined.
For all those commenting on Choi, take a step back. To you this is a disconnected issue. Gay/Straight, this likely is just an issue to you. Choi has been actually affected by it. He put his life on the line for this country and has been discharged, discriminated and denigrated for it. His passion comes from his heart.
the problem here is Choi, not Matthews. as an advocate and spokesperson for DADT, Choi missed a huge opportunity here. you gotta have a more complex analysis and set of talking points beyond "obama sucks." and ya gotta set the emotions aside. if you want to win, yelling at Chris Matthews - when he is basically setting you up to hit a grand slam - is not the way to go. Choi needs a pillow and a blanket.
Chris Matthews is correct here. Congress passed DADT, so it must be Congress that fully repeals it, and so far the President has gotten everybody in the highest levels of gov't on board in an unprecedented way, but in the end it didn't make it through the Senate because just a few old white farts on the Republican side didn't let it, including John McCain who says he will be more than happy to filibuster it.
It's the Senate's fault, clear as day, but the GOP hates Obama so nothing's happening.
@SpySlowhands , absolutely incorrect. The only way to eliminate an unconstitutional law, for the long-term, is for the courts to determine it is unconstitutional. This has happened. Obama is fighting to get a higher court to reinstate DADT. He has no obligation to do so. The Commander in Chief can influence which laws get priority enforcement and which ones take a back seat. He could easily shift resources away from DADT enforcement. Further, he could issue a stop-loss. Obamafail.
@silentfades Ok, now what about the other Americans who feels that the president isn't doing enough for them?
You see, Blacks have had it bad for centuries now. If repealing DADT is considered, "failing the gay community," then what in the hell do you call an unemployment rate @17% for the Black community? Then they say, "he's dragging his feet on this issue." Again, were talking about hundreds of years for Blacks, when this took a ENTIRE two years for the "LGBT" community to get their wish.
I don't watch Chris Matthews. Is it his usual style to just be argumentative and not let his guests speak? He keeps stepping on what they're saying. Rudeness is his style? Regardless of the issue, this was just annoying to watch! His guests are speaking out against discrimination, and he won't let them finish a sentence without interrupting.
@jessnyus yes it is. If i were on his show i would have told him to put a sock in it and i wouldn't care that i got kicked off. At least i would have the balls to do it.
Does chris matthews ever shut the fuck up? I have seen his 2006 interview with michelle malkin and he kept interrupting her even though he asked a question to her.
@snipzor a bigger man would have taken the opportunity to provide deeper analysis of the problems facing DADT, and articulate the challenges to overcome this shitty legislation.... Matthews was setting Choi up for just that - and Choi did a terrible, overwrought job. Textbook case of things not to do.
@jimberlina Really? Are you serious? Matthews was setting up NOTHING for Choi, absolutely fucking nothing. Interrupting him at every second, as Choi was saying at point blank range the real problem that DADT is facing at this moment.
A deeper analysis is the one Choi gave, the one you want is an Obama apologist explanation, one devoid of any actual reason or analysis at all.
