Matthews Describes How Palin Wins Primary Then "Media Will Try To Destroy Her"

[jowsmith100]

they pry too much on the stupid little things. Holy crap they are human. who cares what they did 30 years ago or yesterday. god I hate how they have to cover everything about their lives

[DillonDee1]

David Duke/Sarah Palin in 2012!!

[koszowv]

After about 57 seconds in "The Media will try to destroy her of course". Any semblance of even trying to maintain journalistic integrity by giving a fair and balanced accounting of the news is old news. This is not about Sarah Palin. This is about the people being cattle-shooted down the path they think we should go. Why do people think Sarah Palin is stupid? Because that is what we are led to believe. Anyone in the spotlight can be caught saying stupid things.

[turdmullett]

Given that the US is increasingly comprised of people who aren't educated and mistrust anyone isn't also simple and uneducated, it's quite possible that Palin could win some primaries. I've never heard any original ideas come from Palin and none that were longer than what would fit on a bumper sticker. We had 8 years of bumpkin Bush who gave a tax cut to the rich while wiping out our budget surplus with run away spending and the trillion dollar Iraq debacle, so more stupid isn't going to help.

[Vortex1988]

@Teikiatsu People don't like her because she is in the public domain and on all the news channels all the time when she doesn't know a god damn thing about what the hell she's talking about.

I also find it funny that the right wing sits back and calls Obama inexperienced, but then they go and support Palin who has much less experience than Obama has.

[DillonDee1]

Matthews is right-- it is possible she could win 2 of the first 3 primaries - Iowa & SC - but she could never win the General election -- so it's just wishful thinking on Matthews' part.

I can't believe the GOP will be crazy enough to support the Idiot.

[ezbiskit]

I can has Palin/West '12.

tD

[SoINeedAName48]

I'll be brief:

Palin is a FUCKING IDIOT!

[MsWanderer1]

WOW!!! The lame-stream media is already making plans to corrupt another election.

[the82spartans]

Mitt isn't a politician?

The comment went right over Joe's head. 

[masercot]

Please, please, please run for president in 2012, Sarah. Obama needs four more years and you are the only one who can make it happen...

[snorp73]

Haha Masrcot, that doesn't say much about Obama does it? Even when liberals try to be clever.....

[Wyndstarthedruid]

@snorp73 they fail.......always....have failed for 2,000 years.

[killaspongebob666]

@snorp73 Nah, Obama will have trouble...as would anyone with several 24 hour a day lie campaigns working against him...

[Fringe111]

Oh I hope and pray Palin runs. I want to see her in a real debate where the questions aren't screened first.

[burntonion05]

sarah palin is the best thing that ever happened to the Democratic party. I hope she does win and does rep that party because she is a complete moron

[infidelx1]

@burntonion05

[dantheleo]

"Chris Mattews is right" that's a phrase I have never heard before!

[btwall60]

He says "they will destroy her" and all four boxes, everyone just shakes their collective heads up and down. Owebama gets a "press pass" every day of his Presidential life and Palin has to watch out for press child molestors moving in next to house. If G.W. Bush were Prez right now, every time he was on TV for any reason, they would have a split screen with the oil leak. No wonder the lefties are always going after Fox, they just want it back to the old days when they had a monopoly. Scum.

[snorp73]

IF youtube had existed in 1976-1980, can you imagine all the lib videos against him, telling Republicans "if you want four more years of Carter, then run Reagan!"

LOL....people are so paranoid of good candidates like Palin by buying into the liberal hype.

[texaslocoman1]

If Sarah Palin wins the nomination, she would get a historic momemntum not seen in the USA ever. The first woman to be nominated for US president. That will be too much for Obama and the Demoniac Party to handle. Obama might be looking for Hillary Clinton to save his arse lol

[antipyrene]

God I hope Palin wins the nomination...she will lose in the biggest landslide in Presidential election history in the general

[texaslocoman1]

Methews is right. Romney is not a politician. He only won one elected office and was for just one term and out. Sarah has run for like 5 offices of which she won 3 and by huge margins. She has more elected and political experience than Romney. She will eat him alive in the campaign trail.

[BigBrousky]

Chris Matthews is only saying this because he thinks Barry could beat her.

[snorp73]

I don't think so. He went on in that interview to voice concern over how she's hold up in debates. But I do believe liberals have amnesia because Palin did very well (some argue she won, some argue she lost but all agree she held her own just fine) with Joe Biden and more people watched that debate than any one of Obama's and McCain's. Unlike Obama, Biden was a senator with some experience who didn't vote present 100 times...so I think Sarah would do very well in debates with Obama.

[sucktastic]

The media doesn't have to destroy Palin. She's done that just fine all on her own.

[drlax15m]

"the media will try to destroy her of course" - perhaps the truest thing he ever said, what's with the honest analysis all of sudden?! has matthews lost the tingle?

[Iamthemanyouall]

You have to understand the only thing collapsing in America is the liberal bull crap that they have been feeding everyone all their lives. Taking over schools, universities, media, government, hollywood, and somehow their pathetic theories of America, freedom, and our culture are failing. Must suck to take over everything and everyone is seeing your true colors and knowing you liberals are nothing more than hypocrites that blame everyone else for your pathetic lives. You all will pay in time.LOL

[sucktastic]

@Iamthemanyouall

LOL, take off the tinfoil hat, buddy. "Oh noes! The liberals! They run everything!" Epic fail.

[ToddonCapeCod]

Did I hear Tinlges right: Mitt Romney is NOT a politician.

Someone get this crackhead to rehab

[ToddonCapeCod]

Nice to see that Tingles and the rest of the media can remain so unbiased.

:sarcasm off:

[HangProgressives]

MSM is a joke "we the people" are awake to treasonous actions of the MSM.there is a reason they are all going bankrupt

[mcv47]

Interesting he admits that the media will feel obligated to destroy her as if they have some sort of bias.

[Daniel44125]

I don't prefer Palin for president but its obvious the press is trying to smear her and other conservatives. Ron Paul 2012!

BTW thank you Palin for supporting Rand Paul. I hope that signals you are more libertarian then the press makes you out to be. You have my respect.

[snorp73]

Daniel, I understand the passion of Ron Paul voters. Fundamentally, he is right on domestic freedom and the Constitution, taxation, etc. However; I beg you to remember that Americans have been conditioned for 50 years since FDR to rely on some form of Government. If Sarah Palin does not want to radicalize as quickly as Paul does, it really will be more appealing to all Americans. Moreover; she has the experience as Governor and Mayor (executive) and has energy and a personality that unites.

[Daniel44125]

@snorp73 You should read Paul's books. He isn't trying to change things over night. He understands Americans have been conditioned since the days of Woodrow Wilson. Further I wouldn't use the term radicalize when explaining returning to the principles of the Constitution, sound money, and free enterprise capitalism. It is the conditioning that has radicalized the American people.

[snorp73]

I understand the loose use of the term "radicalize." First, Paul cannot convince enough Americans in a world full of airplanes and cell phones (and computer hackers) that we are wrong at fighting Islamic terrorism overseas. Particularly since its come home to roost in the last year alone with the various attacks. Palin understands the Iraq strategy and how going right into Afghanistan has drained our military. The history of the trouble Muslims have caused the world is undeniable....

[Daniel44125]

@snorp73 I agree the Muslim problems we have aren't as black and white as Ron Paul portrays them at times or how the media wishes to portray Ron's opinion on the matter. Like I said read his books. Nor is it just people flying planes to end our freedoms. The issue is both radical Islam and America's foreign policy for the past 55 years in those regions that make it easier for nut-job radicals to recruit.

[snorp73]

Second, we cannot abolish the IRS and "kill the fed" while simultaneously suggesting we all do it stoned by smoking weed legally.  The ways its all being portrayed and sold to Americans is almost comedic. With Palin, we get something more Reaganesque...a solid, yet gradual reversal of policies which have killed us. And I am not interested in measuring Palin's or Paul's IQ. We don't need anymore intellectualism in the White House. We need someone with executive experience and common sense.

[Daniel44125]

@snorp73 read his books. He wants to abolish both the IRS and End the fed eventually. Not all at once. Nor does he approve of drug use. As if legalizing drug use would spur on a massive increase in usage. Drugs weren't illegal till early last century. The drug issue is a principle of self ownership and freedom. All natural rights come from that philosophy of self owneship

Characterizing his beliefs and policies just like the media. Be a little more active minded.

[snorp73]

And it's cool that we disagree. I've been well interested and active minded in politics for years now. Love the debates on CSPAN, loved READING Sarah Palin's actual record as mayor and governor which is why I and so many others fell in love with her. I am impressed with her and Reagan because they both attended state level universities and had gradual segues into public service, as if a calling of somekind. They both were sportscasters, are all American, and loved competition as well.

[Daniel44125]

@snorp73 I don't see Palin rallying the youth. I do see older folks and women liking her. She is definitely polarizing too. I see her leadership role is picking candidates she likes and bringing more attention to those races.

[snorp73]

I think when it is her vs. Obama, she will rally the youth. The only reason people think she's polarizing is because she made liberals so hopping mad that they had nothing left to do by attack and obsess about her 24/7 which frightened even some "RINOS" like David Brooks to not support her. But in 2012, liberalism will be dead and frankly, we could run Mickey Mouse and replace Obama without even campaigning at all. ;-)

[Daniel44125]

@snorp73 Ron Paul seems to get all the young people. He may not ever be president but he is a good teacher. If he can use the political process to educate the people on issues like freedom and monetary policy,things we lost touch with since our founding. That could be his role. He is like the gateway drug to libertarianism and the philosophy of liberty.

As the late Reagan said( Ron Paul's friend BTW) "At the heart of conservatism lies libertarianism"

Imagine Ron Paul Palin ticket.

[snorp73]

The only reason young people would like Paul is because of the pot thing. LOL. Sarah on the other hand has the energy to press on to demonstrate for youngsters what hard work and determination rewards. :-)

[sucktastic]

@snorp73

"Sarah on the other hand has the energy to press on to demonstrate for youngsters what hard work and determination rewards"

You mean like quitting her job halfway through her term? Pressing on like that? LOL, yeah.

[snorp73]

Absolutely. It would have been much easier for Sarah to stay in a position where she continued to fall under relentless attack and rack up another $500K in personal debt and allow crazy libs in Alaska to continue abusing the Alaska Ethics Act because they hated her. She disemplowered them. It's funny with liberals, when you thought you got rid of her, you were celebrating. But now that you see it made her more powerful, it rots in your craw. Now we get the indignant: 'SHE'S A QUITTER!"

[sucktastic]

@snorp73

And here I thought serving in public office was to serve the people. Thanks for proving that Palin was simply there (before she quit and something more lucrative came along) to serve herself. And Palin is powerful? At what price? That her name is synonymous with stupid the world over? What champion the right have created. Fitting at least.

[snorp73]

It was, which is what she did. Her approval ratings were in the 80's as she did it so well--serving her people. Your final sentence though gets to the heart fo what the typical liberal argument is....see, you guys have been saying that conservatives are stupid anyway. When Palin comes around, you call her stupid like its new. So someone should incur $500K in legal debt because of stupid ethics charged filed by venemous attackers? Let's start by you naming another goveror or mayor who did.

[sucktastic]

@snorp73

If you want to think Palin is another veritable Einstein, hey, don't let me stop you. I think it's hilarious. By the way, it's not a liberal argument that Palin is a moron. It's a majority opinion. Palin's national approval ratings are as low as Bush's were when he left office. The educated, beltway right doesn't trust her, many independents are angry at her for attempting to hijack their Tea Party and use it for political gain, and I don't think she has any liberal support.

[snorp73]

I don't want Einsten. Obama's national approval ratings are 42% INCLUDING the 91% he gets from the black community alone. Without that, his approval ratings now would be as low as Bush's were in his 7th year. Obama just one year agao has approvals in the 60's. Polls change as Obama has proven. I want honesty. I want politicians held accountable and a debate with Palin is just what Obama needs because he won't get away with his tele-prompter answers to questions important to Americans.

[wowamonn]

@snorp73 So you think Palin can Debate Obama? Did you watch the GOP Baltimore Retreat where Obama was invited and the 100 Plus GOP house Reps raised quesitons and he tore them a new one? They had NOT ONE single Rebuttal to his answers. Fox eventually cut the feed because it was so embarssing to the GOP.

[snorp73]

If that were true, which it is not given Obama's think skin to media meanies like Rush and FOX, your focus would not be on questioning Sarah Palin's capability. You guys would cut the canard about McCain losing because of her (while you simultaneously try and and convince us that Americans had a huge hunger for Obamaism). You would simply proclaim that no Republican was capable of debating him. McCain (as boring as he was) had no problems and Palin had no problems with CIden.

[wowamonn]

@snorp73 I repeat. Do you think Palin is capable of Debating Obama, especially after he wiped the floor with the GOP House leaders in Baltimore. And they are ALOT smarter and coherent then Sarah ' the rambling make no sense Palin ' ?

[infidelx1]

@wowamonn

[snorp73]

Yes she does, McCain did just fine with him. Biden was a much bigger threat necause unlike Obama, he had many years of Senate experience that did not involve voting present 100 times. The shibbaleth about Obama being a genius is inspired not by his debates or his actions as president, but by a few speeches he gave with the help of a teleprompter. By 2012, Americans are going to want answers...not rehearsed hogwash.

[snorp73]

And the fact that you describe his meeting with House Republicans as "wiping the floor" is all we need to see that you really do have to scrape to prove a case for him. He's failed Americans as indicated in all polls. He cannot even keep from crying when he is criticized by the media now because he's so used to them putting on his diapers daily.

[wowamonn]

@snorp73 Foxlicans like your self has a wishful thinking that our President has failed. But coming from Palin supporter that is not surprising.

[sucktastic]

@snorp73

Let me ask you a question snorp. Do you want a person running your country who will just decide to quit one day if they come under "relentless attack" (to use your words)?

[snorp73]

She wouldn't. Palin explicity set up the Alaska Ethics Act as a step toward putting the government back on the side of the people. If there was an America Ethics Act. liberals would have abused it nationally just as they did in Alaska. But there isn't one. Liberals cannot; on a federal level, use taxpayer money to file ethics charges against the President (private citizens) like they could in Alaska. That Act was reformed and taken out because of liberals and what they did to Palin.

[sucktastic]

If you think ethics investigations are bad, how about terrorist attacks? If Palin backed out because she got her feathers ruffled by those damn liberals, what do you think she's going to do when Osama comes knocking again? Face it. Palin is the Paris Hilton of politics - all image, no substance.

[snorp73]

She didn't get her feathers ruffled. She was simply not able to do right by Alaskans since she fell under scrutiny for stupid things like having a tanning bed in her home. She's not afraid of liberals, if she were, she would have crawled up and went away after resigning. But she didn't, and she's grown more powerful and vocal, which is why you're living in this bizarro world and pretending that you don't know the difference in resigning for the betterment of the people and being a crook.

[sucktastic]

@snorp73

LOL, alright. Dream big, buddy. I hope you're right in one thing - that Palin does run in 2012. It should be good comedy.

p.s. The teleprompter comment is amusing considering Palin scribbles on her palm. And by the way, if you think Obama needs a teleprompter, go watch him own house Republicans in a 90 minute off the cuff Q&A session where he cleans house on their own turf back in January.

[snorp73]

Let's see, Palin was able to give an entire speech without a teleprompter and was guilty of writing six words on her hand. Doesn't erase the fact that Obambi needs the teleprompter for the whole thing and she doesn't. You're living proof of it. See, Americans are loving it when the left voices rage or when they settle for a 90-minute blather session as people who "own House Republicans."

The standards are slipping. But then again, you're the one who voted for the bonehead.

[sucktastic]

@snorp73

I guess you didn't watch the video. Palin was asked what values were important to her in an interview, she looked at her palm which had words like "energy" written on it. If she needs to write on her palm to be reminded about what is important to her, then hey, you picked a winner.

Dude, you're championing Palin. Sarah Palin. Sarah "I think Africa is a country" Palin. You don't have a leg to stand on. But that's the new conservative party motto. Dumb as I wanna be. You betcha.

[snorp73]

Yes I did....writing notes on your hands is normal. Teachers do it, all sorts of folks do it. You don't take notes? Taking notes is much different than reading a whole speech from a teleprompter.

And she never said Africa was a country. That is heresay. The one person who claimed it will not even come forth to reveal his/her name.

So of course, you have no serious facts or concerns. You cannot attack her positions which are well known, so you use the common mistruths.  You're easy.

[sucktastic]

@snorp73

Fair enough. What's great about a country like America is that we're free to champion whomever we wish. If you think Palin represents your interests better than any other politician, then you're free to vote for her. Best of luck.

[snorp73]

Refreshing. And thank you.

Best of luck to you, too.

[btwall60]

@sucktastic

Yup, glad one of you leftie dopes showed up to spout the party line. It seems you lefties are losing your zeal to defend what is now showing itself after a year and a half of Marxism. No jobs, the oil keeps leaking, two wars with more and more people dying, Gitmo is still open, millions not even bothering to look for a job, trillions in slush fund debt, appointing Marxists to every post imaginable, Berwick even says flat out "redistribution" of wealth for "health care" Dummy

[sucktastic]

@btwall60

Yawn. Beck's talking points do not an argument make.

[doseofdaniel]

WAY TO GO SNORP! YOU'RE ACTUALLY DEBATING THESE STUPID LIBERALS! Sarah Palin 2012! RUN SARAH RUN!!! @snorp73

[snorp73]

I love them. :-)

[sucktastic]

And with that I bid you good day. Lunch hours is over.

[Daniel44125]

@snorp73 and I am sure we agree more then we disagree

[snorp73]

I am sure we do, too.

[Daniel44125]

@snorp73 I wouldn't confuse the embrace that Marxist ideology has over those in the white house as intellectual.

[snorp73]

Well I can acknowledge that Obama was a horrible pick and still acknowledge that he is incredibly smart. Technically Ron Paul probably was is more intellectual than Reagan was. Which is why I think Paul is a great Dr., perhaps a great advocate, certainly an effective member of Congress (I love Rand too). I think we need a commander in chief (this is only my opinion) with the Reagan-intrinsic quality to lead and inspire conservatism and re-introduce it to our youth. To me now, that's Palin.

[Daniel44125]

@snorp73 Being smart ends when you fail to admit and learn from your mistakes my friend. Obama is smart but his irrational economic policy is failing just as he is failing to see it. This is not intellectual. Learning from failures and improving on your faults is.

[snorp73]

But he's still an intellectual in terms of the definiton of the word. He just is not a leader. These two things can exist seperately. Intellectualism is not required for the job...having common sense and the general political wisdom to know what Americans want is....and the intrinsic energy to compete and win. Palin has proven her ability for all of it.

[762lenny]

@Daniel44125 Paul will never win with that mousy voice and 80 y/o look - will never happen.

[Daniel44125]

@762lenny You care more about his voice and how old he is?

The guy is an intellectual power house. Palin on the other hand is not. (I'm am not calling her dumb)

[762lenny]

@Daniel44125 Just the way it is dude -  He got no votes last time (except on the internet) because people are generally stupid and just follow the media - who led them to Obama. The media will lie for Obama again and he just might win.

[Daniel44125]

@762lenny Good I hope he does win again. This ship is sinking and I hope hes captain when it does finally go under. We don't need them blaming the free market for it. Let his ideology sink with it.

[762lenny]

@Daniel44125 Interesting - you might have a good point - HAHA

[snorp73]

The media didn't lead me to Obama. I chose Sarah Palin and did not like John McCain either. Palin became the first VP candidate in history to carry the entirety of a ticket's momentum and Paul himself has not the talent to stir up the left as Palin does.

[762lenny]

@snorp73 Bravo - You better believe the momentum Palin is gaining as we speak will be felt by America very soon. Palin is like sunlight to a vampire when it comes to the Left. And The Black Panthers look a lot like vampires. LMAO

[Daniel44125]

@762lenny Palin's whiny voice doesn't command much leadership either.

[NWsubmom]

They alway's pick the lousiest picture of Palin.

It's SO OBVIOUS and pathetic!

Intelligent people can see through MSNBC'S CRAP!

[NWsubmom]

I don't think Palin will run in 2012.

Maybe in 2016.

Yet again she may have a better chance than that WOODEN ROMNEY.

[NWsubmom]

MSNBC HATES Palin because she helps win elections for anyone she campaigns for. Meanwhile Obama makes his picks LOSE.

Having Obama show up to campaign for ANY Democrat is like the KISS OF DEATH.

Matthews is just JEALOUS of that.

Gotta love Palin JUST FOR THAT ALONE.

[dila813]

So Mathews is starting to realize that Palin has a plan, it isn't a coincidence that she is touring these particular states and endorsing candidates. Media is playing catch-up as usual.

[hellsunicorn]

Sarah Palin is too much of a Doris Day type to weather the storm of scum in our political system, not to mention that she is dead wrong on several key issues (not the least of which being the nonsensical "war on terror"). Nevertheless, she has been endorsing good candidates and she might be a good RNC chairperson.

[Teikiatsu]

This is news? The media will try to destroy any Republican primary winner. They turned on McCain like clockwork.

They just have extra hatred for Palin because she is a true feminist that destroys their crafted image of popular women who are pro-abortion and anti-men.

Plus she's hawt. That brings out the claws. Especially from the metrosexual 'men'

[terskip]

@Teikiatsu It's news that Matthews let it slip out. Everybody knows thats what they do, but they will always claim innocense.

[Vortex1988]

@Teikiatsu You're kidding right? The reason people don't like Sarah Palin is because she is unfit to be in any position that requires leadership. She's probably a really nice person, but that doesn't make her fit to be the president of the United States. She has no idea what she's talking about when it comes to the issues, which is why she's constantly having to save face, and most of her supporters don't even know what she stands for.

[joshpnw]

Even liberal idiot Obama loving (leg tingling) wingnuts like Matthews are beginning to take Palin serious.

They laughed and mocked the Tea Party movement... though not so much anymore.

They laughed and mocked Palin... they won't be laughing for long.

Liberals weren't spanked enough when they were children, but they're about to be spanked very hard.

[poop121]

ollie north for prez!! OR eric prince!!

[hobo59]

Poor poor libtards, still afraid of a little girl ! LMAO @ stoopid Liberals !

[brianobx]

Republicans, if you want 4 more years of Obama then nominate Palin.
