Chris Matthews grills Jack Conway over ad attacking Rand Paul on MSNBC's Hardball 10.18.10

[disamjisa]

So Matthews is good for something

[BigStick3456]

I love how Rand Paul questioned his manhood and dignity right in front of his face! I hope that slick hair douche feels like the moron that he is from here on.

[jimivaughan420]

just incase no one knows this, but the woman who accused Rand of this later admitted it was false...

[surfjerr]

mathews you freakin piece of crap you love saying the tea party suxs. You ingnorant ass we the ppl are the tea party. do the world a favor go to your government fema camp when they open it. Take your family ass we dont need non american asses like you

[USPSAman]

the one dislike was jack

[aznsbd]

So Democrats only defend faith when its politically convienient.

[hunterstl]

Interesting. This was the Matthews of old when I loved him. Just going after everyone. I didn't think he had it in him anymore to go after his own side. I've kind of felt betrayed by how partisan he's become. This is him at his finest.

[clintonlies]

Chris do your homework you lazy Scumbag

search Conway brother drug raid tip off.

[kanspira]

conway comes off looking like a school boy who got in trouble

[D10SdelFutbol]

IT MUST STINK OF SHEEP AND CATTLE BEHIND THESE TWO.

[calimar28]

Liberals suck

[eqsmooth]

kentucky is a back asswards state and well we now know why some republicans hate democrats. this guy owns race horses. that is sinful enough for me. Take the blue grass, horse and coal out of kentucky and you got 97 out of 100 unemployed white people and a 3 out of 100 blacks & latinos. Fucka that state, Just make it part of that shit hole Ohio. Jack Conway sucks. What a lousy campaign.

[33JenG]

@eqsmooth say whatever you want politically, but to say Kentucky is a shit hole, f that state? your so stupid you don't even have your facts straight, your unemployment statment is a joke. i've live in FL, NC, GA and AL; and Kentucky by far is the best place yet! some of the nicest people you will ever meet live in KY. Your probably from CA, that's about the mentality of half the folks out there! you are such a JOKE...GOD BLESS YOU!!!!!!!

[eqsmooth]

You've lived in some lame ass RACIST white supremacist states. I've lived in NY, CT, Alaska, WY, CO. And yes, California. In Georgia and Alabama I couldn't believe how they treated black people, especially in beautiful Savannah and downright ugly Tuscaloosa and Birmingham. It felt like i was back in the 19th century. Yes, the word unemployed was a typo. I meant to say there are 2% black people in KY, 1% Asian and 97% white people. Why is that? Are they not welcome? Keep breathing that coal dust.

[33JenG]

@eqsmooth only racist here is you my friend! everything you said is spoken like a true liberal. your facts and numbers are so false! you must've forgotten about the bosnians that live in Kentucky too, i don't think they would like you leaving them out. i only created this account to defend my state. you need serious mental health treatment!

[drewm08]

I normally hate watching Chris Matthews, but he is not bad in this video. Good job on hammering Conway

[ComicallySanePolitic]

I'm glad I don't live in the state choosing between these two morons. Unfortunately, everyone in the Senate is a moron anyway.

[zepproxx]

The dems are so desperate. It really shows.

[97VR4]

Reid toast, Pelosi toast, Jack toast, Obama toast, the entire democratic nut job party is toast. take out the trash November 2nd, 2010. Start with this Jack....Ass...

[RyanR3volution]

I thought that Conway ad was a joke for a second, they are literally spoon feeding us shit.

[spatz2269]

omg fucking chris matthews pisses me off he grills jack conway which im happy about but then he will go and grill rand about somthing stupid when rand isnt there to answer god i hate him and i love him wtf

[streetlighting]

Jack Conway is a very funny joke. He displayed his lawyering "skills" very nicely during this interview.

[bhaynes129]

This is the most balanced interview I have ever seen Chris Matthews do . . . way to go Chris, there's hope for you yet!!

[dmhappy2777]

The cat is out of the bag

[jasonc32amg]

Conway is scum. 

[melissawaltonshirley]

It's incredible that R. Paul could have fooled so many for so long. As far as interviews go, I was trying to make up my mind how to vote until I heard with my own ears Dr. Paul's words about the Civil Rights act. It is clear he will vote with the business owner's right to choose over race, religion and safety. I cannot vote for a man who harbors in his own heart the "right" to refuse service to a person based on race or will not protect the public from 2nd hand smoke. He's a real Dr.???

[ErikMartin81]

@melissawaltonshirley I take it you think the government has a right to force Jews to do business with Neo-Nazis, and to force black people to do business with members of the Ku Klux Klan. This isn't the proper role of government at all. People should be free to exercise their own judgement, for better or for worse, and to bear the consequences.

Incidentally, Chris Matthews did very well here. He's a better man than I thought.

[IAMTHEWRECKER]

@melissawaltonshirley

Boy you are a stupid welfare moron. Let us make up our own mind if we want to endure second hand smoke. Keep government out of our life, dope!

[IAMTHEWRECKER]

I did not know Mathews could actually do a legitimate interview!

Chris man-up! Stop carrying the progressive democrats water!

Chris become a man again!

[scott04la]

Chris Mathews.. wow, you may be guilty of good journalism! congratulations..

[kyleevans5]

Now if Rand Paul had responded like Chris Matthews I could respect Rand Paul. But Rand Paul never did. He instead accused Conway of lying, without being man enough to cite chapter and verse of just where Conway lied.

[uarecheap]

Jack is a jerk.

[HomerHotDog]

@PaulRon2008

Whenever Conway even mentions his "achievements", it's always some drug warrior garbage and other ways he's fought to grow the police state. Sociopath indeed. He may be running with the party that claims to have a monopoly on compassion, but human lives to him are just currency.

He'd assume piss on rights than protect them.

[simoniniraq]

I'm in shock... I never thought I'd see Chris Matthews give an objective interview. Crazy times we live in.

[TheGolfGuy1111]

This is one of the only objective interviews Matthews has done with a liberal. Hard to believe! Go Rand Paul!!!

[Ovedya2006]

I don't particularly care for Matthews, but this was good journalism here. No softball questions for Conway. He needs to marinate in his own embarrassing campaign guffaw.

[MooseOfReason]

"Stand up and be a man!"

Hahahahahaha. Go Rand Paul. I just donated to him two nights ago.

[mizzoulibertarian]

look at idiots behind him. you really have to be brain dead loser to support this guy

[mizzoulibertarian]

This is Dr. Paul's finest moment. Hey conway learn what the word "class" means.

[streetlighting]

Wow Jack. And people were actually going to vote for you?

[jbjumpback]

Conway has sunk his ship.

[D10SdelFutbol]

@jbjumpback .. was it ever afloat? lol

[csisoundcheck]

'Six reputable news papers printed this' and this is 'Fact'? Reminds me of Clinton saying 'what is 'is'? How can people stand behind a candidate that is obviously a scum bag before he possibly gets to Washington? If he some how does get elected those people that voted for this dirt bad deserve what they get. And you wonder why Washington feels the need to make decisions for us? Just plain ignorant.

[mizzoulibertarian]

@csisoundcheck its shocking that anyone could support conway.

[doug47130]

When you're trying to act like Lee Atwater you need a better story and it needs to be provable.

[Mechan8]

This is priceless...One of Chris Matthews (Tweety's) best interviews. Not that I support Rand Paul...don't know him...but to dig back into someones past (30) yrs ago and take out this segment and then present it as gospel truth makes you wonder about the person digging up the facts...If you notice Conway's facial expressions...he's not very comfortable with this interview ...he creates a mess for himself and I would bet it will backfire...For once Matthews did his job...great interview!

[shivajesus]

it's "wrong to mock people of faith" He MUST have been VERY offended by obama who said "these people who cling to religion & guns . . . " when does anyone ask him about that?

[dire40272]

Looks like another nail in the coffin for Conman's senate seat. I'm really surprised to see Matthews using an air hammer to drive it!!! Watch it again and focus on the crowd enthusiasm that goes from "YEAH" to BLAAH! I think he was losing voters there on the spot as the interview went on!!! Rand Paul has this one in his hip pocket.

[Makermook]

As a Kentuckian, I'm being asked to vote for a guy (Conway) who would rather point out someone else's faults than talk about what he sees as his own strengths. That tells me he is unsure of his convictions and, by extension, might not be trusted to uphold whatever tacit promises he makes. I don't like the politics of personal attack, and Conway has lost my vote.

[jrsub3]

How bad is it when MSNBC lets Chris Matthews basically wipe his hands clean of supporting this guy?

Also, I'm sure Jack Conway's the first into church every Sunday morning.

Good for Chris Matthews to do something MSNBC rarely does, which is call out a liberal in a political race against a big time conservative.

[chewbaca1989]

@jrsub3

Chris Matthews is one scary sob.

[rgiblin6]

Conway is a SCUMBAG!!!

[bigloaded]

jack conway = FIRED !!! HE IS ONE DESPERATE S.O.B !!! HE IS AN EMBARRASMENT. JACK IS A LOST SOUL !

[chickennugget1776]

Jack Conway seems like a dirtbag! Nice to see the liberal sheep commenting to defend this pile of puss. Think for yourself and RESEARCH these claims by conway and you will find that they are false. The Civil rights legislation he comments on are that the legislation was originally passed so the government doesn't discriminate against certain people

[NicPap12]

Yeah, Jack Conway is a dirt bag. He is absolutely disgusting. I've multiple debates between Rand and Jack and Jack always seems to use some desperate ad hominem argument. Again, he is a dirt bag.

[sportsphotogirl]

Jack Conway is losing this race and this was an act of desperation.

[MisterDajjal]

You know you've fucked up when you're a liberal Democrat being grilled by Chris Matthews. Jack Conway seems to be another perverse politician. Rand Paul may not be the purist that his father is, but at least he isn't reducing his debate to personal attacks against his opponent based on something that may or may not have happened.

[printo69]

Conway is a joke. He will get destroyed like Grayson did.  All Grayson did was attack Rand Paul and his character and he was demolished. As someone who works in Kentucky, I see Rand Paul beating Conway, who is carrying the banner of Obama and who represents the status quo of crony politics.

[kyleevans5]

@printo69 Grayson warned that Rand Paul is just a social conservative when he's trying to get James Dobson's endorsement (which he then blared over the radio back in May) and Grayson has since been proved right. You Tea Partiers have endangered another Senate seat that ought to have been a slam dunk. Rand Paul is making the GOP look crazy.

[printo69]

@kyleevans5 and was Tray Grayson any type of conservative?

Rand Paul is barely a social conservative when you look at the whole spectrum of the social conservative views preached from DC.

Rand Paul's views been very much fiscally conservative when it comes to things like the budget and taxes.

I'd rather belong to a tea party movement where we have "crazy" views like fiscal conservatism and upholding the Constitution than the GOP where they practice endless wars and big government.

[kyleevans5]

@printo69 "Rand Paul is barely a social conservative" You must be kidding. In his response ad to Conway Paul was practically insisting he is more devout than the apostles! Grayson was a type of conservative, yes. A nice one who isn't going to blow up in the Senate like a grenade.

[Chslosers]

@printo69 you were right

[norwegcat]

Rand Paul is acting like a royal "WHIMP" and is nothing but a "CRYBABY". He needs to "MAN UP" if he wants to play a man's game!

[israelandersonvideo]

@norwegcat LOL, Oops, you spelt Jack Conway as Rand Paul.

[zzzoe11]

Rand Paul is very extreme and unamerican.

His values are not shared by most Americans.

Vote for Jack and get a real man with solid policies.
