Chris Matthews Confuses Obama and Bin Laden... Again

[88Cubanpride]

This shit is all Bush fault. People need to leave Iraq alone and leave Muslim alone. and for Mccainpres08 Muslim do not hate America or Americans and if they do because of us. We started trouble with them about 911 so they have a full right to not like us. Bush had something to do with the 911. Just leave the middle east alone.

[1FutureMarine1]

@88Cubanpride

We didn't blame them for 9/11. We went in their to kick Saddams ass, then help rebuild the country and get rid of the insurgents.

[rkoliver1]

It's Bush's fault!

[Mccainpres08]

TheaterofDreams1 has emailed me, and pretty much confirmed what I said about the demoCRUDS

[Furnoggin]

[Mccainpres08]

The ONLY difference in OSAMA and OBAMA is.............. B/S

Get it??

McCain/Palin/America 2008

[NiLouFaR2121]

I don't get why so many people are making this a big deal. It's jus his freakin name! :|

[ihypno]

well how many mofos have you heard of named OBAMA before him lol .. not like its tim or tom

[Pinochle7hbt]

yeah. Obama's his last name. Tim and tom are usually first names. But Barack is an unusual name, only if we ignore cultural boundaries

[Mccainpres08]

His name is what he is! He IS a MUSLIM!!

MUSLIMS HATE AMERICA and AMERICANS!! Look at how he's trying to destroy us! He has lowest pres. approval Rating (under 50%) for shortest time in history of keeping ratings

[XChromeboyX]

Grow up dude.

[Mccainpres08]

YOu need to WAKE UP, GROW UP, and see what is going on in America!!

Look at what the muslim just did in Texas by killing 13! WAKE UP!!

[Pinochle7hbt]

But its easy to get that rating back up.........just bring back bush and cheny for a week. Obama's rating will hit 120%

[w00lyb00ger]

The only difference between a Republican and a bucket of shit is the bucket. Get it??

[Mccainpres08]

THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DEMOCRATS AND COMMUNIST/SOCIALISTS/FAGGOT LOVING SAME SEX MARRIAGE SUPPORTING/BABY KILLING ABORTIONISTS, IS, WELL the ONLY DIFFERENCE IS, WELL, UH, AHH, OOPS THEY ARE ALL THE SAME!!! GET IT???

GET IT???

Most DemoCRUDS Hate America or they wouldnt support a MUSLIM president!!

[TheaterofDreams1]

relax retard you're clearly a racist, partisan asshole

[Mccainpres08]

Nice talk, but what can I expect from a Baby killer? Fag? Muslim sympathizer?

[NiLouFaR2121]

First of all don't confuse religion with how people are...Its like if I say all American white girls are sluts, which is not true in all cases...learn some education before you come here and make ur smart comments :))

[strauss12345]

It's not like there is a diffence! Obama and Osama... WHAT THE HECK IS THE DIFFERENCE? They are bost racist bastards! Hey, you pinko commies out there! Look up Obama's Reverend Wright! HE SAID G-d D**n America! He wouldn't even wear his flagpin! He said the blue-collar white people in PA were "clinging to their guns" in Seattle when he thought that nobody was recording him.

[inthenite42]

If you all want real change vote for Alan Keyes for President. He will not disappoint you I am sure of that.

[jarsheth]

why fight about obama and mccain, they are both just going to be puppets for the corporations... get ready for the caps... LETS START A FUCKING REVOLUTION... WHO'S WITH ME! end caps

[Termanology15]

i agree dats wat i've been try to accomplish

since ever

VIVA LA REVOLUTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

[cyrone0us]

i cant believe how many people dont like chris matthews. hes hilarious and O MY GOD DID HE JUST MESS UP!!!?!?! no way i cant believe it. hes the most entertaining commentator around, also hes very intelligent regardless of what image you might have of him from a 51 second clip.

[RollJob88]

not intentional, but it helps. oh the irony

[ProudAmer08]

Rep turn Dem

[LivingBeingNRG]

o its not FOX!! hes still a dumb fuck

[LivingBeingNRG]

that dumb fuck is saying he knows what someone else is saying when he dosent even know what hes saying!!!! FOX news

[cmonsense50]

Does anybody still watch this guy?

Seriously, who thinks Chris Matthews or his buddy Keith Olbermann are worthy newsmen?

lol--Only the Obamabots do! They are his only audience. If you have an independent bone in your body then CM or KO will turn your stomach. Trust me, bc of these idiots the Dems may lose this election.

They are soooo one sided that it has turned people like me away from Obama. Why does Obama have a Hitler-like phenomena over the media and people?

Think about it?

[ODDMANtheone]

Why would you turn away from a candidate because of news people? Why don't you do your own research and decide on a candidate. Does the TV tell you what and what not to do in all realms?

[obamaSUXASS]

I've done the research that these "reporters" don't. The truth is usually in the middle. The far right's message is crazy and the radical left's propaganda is dangerous. You can't be lazy in today's media environment. CBC sucks too!

One of the MANY reasons I like McCain is that he is a moderate. Obama is a radical leftist! Do YOUR research--I've done mine. I'm still finding horrible lies that Obama is trying to hide. Just in case you're stereotyping me--not one of them is that he is a Muslim.

[ODDMANtheone]

I don't usually continue conversations with people who feel the need to CAPS their words. But if you are referring to the 36 page "report" that HumanEvents put out, then you don't do real research. McCain was a moderate in the past, but now is just another war drum beating, oil swilling, panderer for the rich. He's also a person that doesn't seem to understand that Korea and Iraq are not in the same ballpark, so even though i understand the context of his 100 year comment, it is still asinine.

[obamaSUXASS]

Okay 'ODDMANtheone'!?! lol

"Typical" ignorant obamabot. YOU (lol) used caps! lmao

You are a waste of space and my time!

[ODDMANtheone]

Actually, Ron Paul is my guy.

:)

[JohnR22926]

odd: funny you've got a problem with caps, but then go on to use hyperbole without caps. McCain is in fact a moderate; what you've been hearing is McCain pandering to keep his base content. An unfortunate necessity of politics.

Is Obama far Left? Well, gee...I don't know! I don't know what he is. He's brand new on the scene, no voting record to go by (and what little there is, is very liberal). So, lets look at who he surrounds himself with. Oops! Don't want to look there, now do we?

[ODDMANtheone]

The caps issue aside, McCain used to be a moderate. He's also heralded as some sort of war hero even though he only had 20 hours of actual combat (not to mention the 5 planes that were destroyed while he was flying them). Your so-called necessity of politics is exactly why he is a sham - he is the ultimate double speaker. McCain will do anything and anyone to get elected, and if he lives to see election day he may well have changed his ancient mind a few hundred more times.

[JohnR22926]

odd: your comments on McCain's war record are a typical Lefty rationalization. If Christ were here, you'ld be saying "yeah he's god-like, but the guy has dirty feet and body odor..."

McCain volunteered for the most dangerous assignment available...ground attack aircraft, spent years in captivity and refused early release (because he knew it would be a propaganda coup...the admiral's kid getting special treatment). Barry went to Hahvahd.

Obama is just another lying pol.

[ODDMANtheone]

If Christ were here we'd be living in a fairy tale, as I dont believe in Christ.

I don't really care about McCain's war record, and you calling me a lefty is actually more typical. American politics, culture, news and entertainment all revolve around schoolyard taunts and empty bumper sticker statements.

My point was that you said lying to appeal to a base is typical, and I am saying that is the problem. If you are cool with it than so be it, but most are fed up.

[Zeurol]

I agree with you, supersonic. When he had Andrea Mitchell and Chuck Todd on his show, he switched Obama for Osama again and had the angriest look in his face. One could tell he was very angry for this slip and Andrea Mitchell told him she knew what he meant. In the 7p.m. rebroadcast, the slip was edited out. From his primary coverage, it was easy to tell that Matthews is an Obamamaniac. :-)

[supersonicslowmotion]

I'm an obama supporter....and I think chris just slipped...innocently. Lets face it... the names are similar. I bet there is a sizable amount of people who will see his name on the ballot and think...didn't he bomb that trade center? 35 percent of the country still thinks osama bin laden and saddam were buddies, and that saddam had nukes.

[saturnhexagon]

Here's a thought. Don't drink before you go on camera. You get your synapses crossed.

[rkellyforums]

This is an edited version. Chris did make a mistake, but he caught himself and apologized right away. Your clip leaves out where he caught and corrected himself. A non issue really.

[regreg88]

Sorry rkellyorums. I watch hardball every day and i watched this one all the way through. He never apologized. It's not a BIG deal but as long as ignorant people exist he should learn to make the distinction.

[18oroldermyass]

Chris Matthews is possibly the biggest tool on tv. He's a lazy journalist, has very little insight and few if any original thoughts on politics.

[chumashfalcon]

see old white people are used to names like Bob, Dick, John, Frank, Pete, BARRY...

We need to give Obama a cool nickname that sounds nothing like Osama, so idiots like Matthews here can stop getting confused every other day.

Maybe we can call Obama a hip-hop name like "2-Smart" or "Ice-B"

[eugatm]

I don't think we should give him a hip-hop name. He doesn't have a hip-hop personality, if that made any sense.

Fact is Osama and Obama have been in the news a lot, and its easy to confuse the names. Just happens. It's hella funny and ironic (for some of us).

[dafttool]

This is an easy mistake to make (confusing the words Osama & Obama), but Matthews has a bad habit of his mouth going faster than his brain. He really should learn to pause & breathe during his lengthy bouts of motor-mouthing & interrupting people. Another of his bad habits is asking a question of his guests, but never allowing the person to respond as he answers his own question.

Olbermann said he was unqualified to take Russert's Meet The Press gig; I would add Matthews is also unqualified.

[HomoGeneyes]

which, which IS which?
