hahah that was awesome. what a fucking lying sack of shit.

Matthew's can be so obnoxious. Let him speak. then you can point out the hypocrisy.

That's the Chris we love. Bulldog it, boy. Grab him by the rectum and shake it all over the alley.

Damn, that's some out of control "spinning" right there!! hahaha That was painful to watch.

Matthew's can be so obnoxious. Let him speak.

I'm the first to complain when Fox News commentators interrupt their interviewees. However, when Bill-O interrupts a guest it is usually after the guest has had all of 4 or 5 seconds to deliver anything more nuanced than 'yes' or 'no' to a loaded question. In this case, from the time Matthews first asked a clear, direct question, "Kevin, did Mitt Romney see his father march with Martin Luther King?", Madden spewed bullshit for 57 seconds (yes, I timed it) before Matthews got out anything more than yes..., sure... Madden had plenty of opportunity to speak and say something other than diversionary crap. If Matthews started picking on him at that point, Madden deserved it! Madden is a professional spinner and was obviously trying to eat up the interview saying absolutely nothing. Matthews got tired of it, that's all.

It is almost as if Mathews learned a little something about plowing through BS after his book interview with Jon Stewart on the Daily Show

The interview where Stewart shot down the whole premise behind "Life is a Campaign", equating it with saying whatever you have to in order to get ahead.

Why does anyone watch Chris Matthews? This segment is testimony to his utter lack of journalistic ability, instead he focuses on some not-shit issue and beats it to death. People really need to turn off the TV and do some real reading. Instead of "Hardball" his show should be called "Big Soft Turd."

"That could have been more accurately phrased" translates as: "It would have been better not to lie"

Referring to the Martin Luther King marches as a historical event, (i.e.. open to interpretation), is also very strange. Something that happened in living memory is not a historical event, open to interpretation.

Why is anyone surprised by Mitt's conduct? He is simply following the example of his prophet Joseph Smith- to be a liar, an impostor and a fraud.

I love the terminology "resume inflation". Now it's (well, maybe it's always been) in politics. But this vid reminds me of something else. When I used to "work" for the corporate kings of America, I remember trying to get into AOL. I thought since I had a few years experience in the tech world, plus a lot of international experience, that I would/should be a great candidate for AOL and its international operations... I also wanted to move back to the States. Anyway, long story short: During the third (and final) interview at AOL the word "resume inflation" came up - luckily not as an accusation. In fact, I later learned that the interviewer was actually trying to tell me to inflate my resume. I didn't think much of the suggestion till I met a perturbed AOL employee. The perturbed-one eventually told me that the terminology doesn't necessarily mean that one should inflate their experience but instead inflate what you “believe”. I eventually learned that a huge part of AOL at their headquarters in Dulles, VA, USA, was of the Mormon faith. It's not just religion that boils my skin - but the fact that collective-individualism has long since replaced individuality in America.

Problem is, if Mitt has this bad habit or at least a growing pattern of "misspeaking" what happens when he does that in regards to diplomacy? It isn't the campaign trail causing these gaffes; no other candidate has had these same kinds of miss-speech. He is misrepresenting himself to appeal to an audience or he is as stupid and incapable of speech as Bush is.

Mitt keeps looking more and more presidential. And by presidential, I mean full of shit and obfuscatory.

Romney does seem to be something of a BSer; he exaggerates. It is true that his father was pro-civil rights, but it is a serious claim to say you were out there marching. Saying you saw your father march when you were aware of him marching would have been pretty reasonable, however, if his father actually had marched.

I think if you add up the people who claim they were marching with MLK then most of the U.S. population was out there taking on the tear gas and police dogs.

I do think there is a difference between Romney so far and Bush however. Bush lies and lies and lies and continues to do it after he's called on it. That's what Giuliani did with the UK health care ad. Romney is talking about the claim and trying to defend it or correct it.

Lying piece of shit.

Sounds like Matthews just found out what LDS Quorum of the Twelve Apostle Bruce R. McKronkie wrote about the Catholic Church in his book Mormon Doctrine: A Compendium of the Gospel in 1958.

It was so bad that the LDS church forbid McKronkie from republishing it until it was rewritten and toned down considerably nearly ten years after it was originally published.

McKronkie was an extreme racist and completely nuts, but called of god (as was Aaron) to serve as an "apostle" to the "living prophet".

wow....chris matthews finally played hardball

I hate it when O'Reily does this style of interview, and you gotta be fair....This was in the same ball park.

Talking over the guy, asking question one, and then asking question two before he could answer question one.

Right out of the Faux News playbook IMO.
