But their readers will unquestioningly accept the headline as truth and add it to their library to use against Matthews in the future. Question with boldness, except for those with whom you agree ideologically.

Reagan won twice in landslides, and Chris thinks he’s scoring points by insinuating that anyone who liked him is stupid.

implied, really tommy, you got that from the headline, unreal

What a silly comment. In 1999, when we were making all sorts of lists, the greatest athlete of the millenium, the greatest mind of the millenium, Americans came up with late 30th century figures, Michael Jordan and Nelson Mandela. Our grasp of history is about three (3) years, if we push ourselves.

Hey, if everything critical of BHO is based on his race, let any criticism of RR be based on his Alzheimer’s.

All the Chris Matthewites and their cult leader should get out of North America and try living in a place like Libya, then they’d soon learn to keep their big whining bashing traps shut and open them only with good reason. Sheesh, it’s like these libs have this unquenchable grudge they keep nursing against every US pres that wasn’t a democrat throughout the whole US history.

In either case, though, the implication itself is not only disgustingly unfair, but illogical as well.

Quelle horreur! Nobody does unfair and disgusting like Tommy does, Pam. GET OF MY LAWN!!!

Key doesn’t provide any comment beyond that headline, so it is unclear whether she believes Matthews’ comment was a deliberate shot at Reagan, or simply an insensitive, inadvertent reference. In either case, though, the implication itself is not only disgustingly unfair, but illogical as well.

I like how Tommy’s decided that there are only two possibilities and both of them are “disgustingly unfair!” But I must say that I am shocked an outraged at his implication in THIS headline that Chris Matthews should be set on fire.

Tommy lets us know who he is once again. FDR is solid choice for numero uno, he says. LOL Tommy and RRK are together again.

FDR opposed public employee unions, he was right about one thing anyway.

I remember this. Didn’t Chris take a shot at Reagan to impress Jodie Foster?

“We have tried spending money. We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work.”

Sound more like a liberal Democrat pushing job creation — say, Harlem’s Rep. Charlie Rangel?

What about this:

“I say after eight years of this Administration we have just as much unemployment as when we started. … And an enormous debt to boot!”

Who said this?

The words are those of none other than Henry Morgenthau Jr. — close friend, lunch companion, loyal secretary of the Treasury to President Franklin D. Roosevelt — and key architect of FDR’s New Deal.

God bless Tommy Christopher…and the horse he rode in on…..

This is a great example of how history gets temporarily rewritten, or you might say ‘Alzheimerized’. Reagan No. 1 – you must be kidding. Polls mean very little except when they agree with one’s biases. Reagan was certainly a smooth operator, but not in the top tier of American Presidents. I would put him in the rank of Nixon. What I have against both of them is their warmongering – Nixon in Vietnam, Reagan in Latin America where many too many innocent lives were needlessly lost with the contras and our backing of the killer governments in Argentina and Chile. Reagan at least didn’t interfere and actually helped bring down the Berlin Wall. Reagan’s homophobia prevented him from taking an active roll against the AIDS epidemic and he will always be known for his “government is the problem” mantra. Deregulation also really took off with Reagan and we see where that’s led us. Reagan clearly was suffering from Alzheimer’s during his second term and maybe earlier and I’m sure that had a heavy effect of his performance. I’ve always liked Nancy and son, Ron Reagan. I’m sure the RW’s are jumping up and down for joy to see their hero No. 1 temporarily down as No.1, but history and more accurate polls will quickly relegate Reagan to a more realistic lower ranking.

Since you like reading The Blaze and Pam key’s work so much, Tommy, I’m really surprised you didn’t report on this one:

SHOCKING LEVEL OF INFLUENCE EXPOSED: UNION BOSS TRUMKA TALKS TO WHITE HOUSE EVERY DAY AND VISITS A COUPLE TIMES A WEEK
http://tinyurl.com/4ougges

Chris Matthews is losing it, I’m telling you. The guy in the past few months has become 10 X’s goofier than he was before the November 2010 Elections and he was plenty goofy before. Someone at Comcast needs to get this out of control talking dunderhead to a professional Psychiatrist in a hospital where they can monitor and adjust Chrissy’s mecicines. He has a crazed look in his eyes that cry out he is in mental anguish emotionally. Maybe a few months off will get Chrissy well. Then again it might take longer, like a year or two. But, the fact is Chrissy Matthews needs some serious help. Comcast, please help Chrissy! I would also look at Edith Schultz and Lorraine O’Donnell too. It could be the water over at PMSnbc’s 30 Rock and Washington DC’s studios. Too damn much goofiness going on with the PMSnbc’s people. Maybe someone should check the air conditioning system to see if some wacky, ultra liberal, far left-wing, progressive Democrat is pumping in ‘Wacko’ gas into the ducts. I am very concerned to see a cable network I used to watch just go through a complete meltdown before our eyes.

.Not only does Pam Key not mention Alzheimer but I just used “find” on “Alzheimer” and not one commenter did either.

It seems that Tommy is the only one using it.

They say early onset alzimers is somewhat like insomnia. Get some sleep Tommy.

Right, ganymede, Reagan’s dementia didn’t start the day he left the White House, and his “I don’t recall” repeats during the Iran-Contra hearings were genuine. Of course, he was informed every step of the way through the Iran-Contra affair (illegally spent money on hostages for guns) but gee, let’s give him a break because, can’t you see he has Alzheimer’s? How on earth people call him a “great” President is beyond me as he blithely raised taxes 11 times and threw mentally ill people out into the street, but gosh, he had such a winning smile and really, he was an ACTOR!

Tommy is seeing things again – seek help. There is nothing to this story, just the over imagination of WH Press Corpse member.

yeah, i consider court packing and japanese internment major strikes against FDR, along with the requisite harumph-ing about expansion of the federal government (being the tea party / neocon / right wing conservative i am…)

Unfortunately for Matthews he has become irrelevant even in his own circles. He is a like a top, going on and on and around and around spinning the same way with nothing new to offer.

Chris Matthews is such an imbecile. I’m surprised he has the audience he does. Try ending the cold war moron. Making Americans proud to be Americans. Making other countries respect us and in some cases fear us again. Lowering taxes so that people could start and grow a business. I think your getting Alzheimer’s Chris!!!

The Blaze Implies Chris Matthews Took A Shot At Ronald Reagan’s Alzheimer’s Disease

The Blaze’s Pam Key (aka “Naked Emperor News”) seems to think Matthews was taking a shot at Ronald Reagan’s Alzheimer’s Disease, posting the video with the headline “Chris Matthews Disgustingly Concludes Americans ‘Limited Memory’ Must be Only Reason They Think Reagan Was a Great President.”

Key doesn’t provide any comment beyond that headline, so it is unclear whether she believes Matthews’ comment was a deliberate shot at Reagan, or simply an insensitive, inadvertent reference. In either case, though, the implication itself is not only disgustingly unfair, but illogical as well.

what am i missing here….

‘“Chris Matthews Disgustingly Concludes Americans ‘Limited Memory’ Must be Only Reason They Think Reagan Was a Great President.”

How does that in anyway lead one to believe that she was saying Matthews was taking a shot at Ronnie’s alzheimers? He is talking about the people alive now, who’s memories are so short, they only named Ron Reagan because they are apparently too stupid to remember further back than 20 years….which is insulting. Especially since Lincoln was second. Apparently people can remember that far back…

The Blaze is down (for me?) at this moment, so I can’t check it out for myself, but this seems like a huuuuuuuuge stretch based on what I see here.

Nothing!

Not only is Alzheimer on Tommy’s brain alone but not one commenter even brought it up when I checked five pages of comments. Tommy has been a very busy boy building straw castles to vanquish with his mighty pen.

Tommy is literally dumber than a doorknob. The headline doesn’t in any way suggest anything to do with Alzheimers. Seriously, 2 year olds have better reading comprehension skills than Christopher.

Is it a secret or something? Everyone who was an adult during Reagan’s second term new he was in the beginning stages of Alzheimer. The media and Reaganites try to cover it up.

What is all this free-for-all attacking Tommy for everything he writes? He provides thought-provoking, discussion-enhancing posts that produce a wide variety of comments. What more is he suppose to do?

OK, son- show all the newspaper articles that were written at the time of his second term saying that.

Oh, you have no such articles.

You are a typical 3L- Lying Libby Loser

Amen, Trolljuice. Lived it, watched it. Look at it this way. Either RWR was suffering from early Alzheimer’s and was the dupe of Casey, North et. al, or he was a party to trading arms for hostages, smuggling drugs to fund the Contras and violating the Boland Amendment. That would be treason. You pays your money and takes your pick. What’s it gonna be–senility or sedition?

You are obviously suffering from the advanced stages of senility.

So, notsofast. I guess we’ll put you down as voting for sedition.

The Real Royal King

Greatest presidents: FDR, Lincoln, T. Roosevelt, Jackson, Jefferson.

Jefferson wrote a great document, the Declaration of Independence (with a lot of help).

But he was a terrible president. His hatred of England blinded him to the evils of Bonapartism; his ignorance of economics led him to impose an embargo on his nation, causing a terrible recession; and his cluelessness about military affairs led him to weaken the Navy at a time when it was the only defense of our liberty.

Remember the slogan, “Millions for defense but not one cent for tribute”? Jefferson wasted millions on tribute to North African pirates. And because he displayed such weakness toward those pirates, the French and English lost all respect for America.

The Real Royal King said:

Hoover advanced many of the same policies as FDR. Hoover and Roosevelt combined to make the Depression longer and deeper.

The only loser here is you! You don’t intimidate me you fat a$$ bully. You are a limp little man typing on your keyboard. People are laughing at you not with you!

This is for fata$$:

“Although not diagnosed until 1994, Ronald Reagan suffered from Alzheimer’s Disease as early as 1987 while he was in the last years of his presidency. The History Bluff had an exclusive interview with one of Reagan’s aides who asked to remain nameless because of the sensitivity of the information disclosed.”

Reagan’s aide said that while the president’s mental lapses were few during his time in office, one in particular was almost disastrous to Reagan’s legacy and to national security. President Reagan was flying to Egypt aboard Air Force One in 1988 when he had a spell during which he believed that the plane had been hijacked.

Determined to wrest control of the plane from terrorists, Reagan overpowered three guards and barged into the cockpit where he punched and broke the co-pilot’s nose. Within a few minutes the situation settled down and Reagan was taken to his office where he rested for the remainder of the trip.”

Yup. Can blame them mini Baboons for NOT doing their homework and relying on the word of the golden Baboon Beck.

I just did a context search at the Blaze site which yielded zero results for “Alz”heimer’s. I can say I was put off (even if not disgusted) by the condescension that was implicit in Matthew’s take. I’m no less put off by the condescension implicit in Christopher’s take on the Blaze’s take of Matthew’s take, or the implications of such studies altogether. I hardly think the disparity between the results of historians and the results of the average American is the degree of ” fancy book larnin’ ” the former has over the latter, though historians are liable to be more methodical and thorough in their knowledge. The truth is leftists prefer to quote the historian’s study simply for the fact that leftists absolutely dominate the departments of history and, thus, presidents in line with their political leaning dominate the results. The fix, is in. Their presumed rightness is derived from their assumed rightness. For instance: FDR, the best president ever? Better than the president who established the mold for all succeeding presidents? Not by a long shot. Not unless, as it seems to be the case of many who answer FDR, the only measure is the gravity, or greatness, of the times in which a president served. Perhaps he’s not even better than a president who presided over, without involving his country in a major armed conflict costing millions of lives, the downfall of an enemy no less virulent than National Socialism while engendering a booming economy.

BTW, does anyone know if Chris wears his dentures on TV? You never see any teeth but, he really throws his spittle around. I’d hate to be a guest sitting across the table from him. Maybe they furnish the guests drying, crying towels.

Hey look the Blaze is being dishonest! Shocking!

Can you imagine if your profession involved writing long and tedious partisan defenses of partisan hacks like Chris Matthews?

I feel bad for Tommy Christopher. He must have really done wrong in a previous life.

Oh so what. Regan was a moron – maybe more and more people will begin to SAY it.

Incredible, you actually proved Christopher’s barb about “book larnin’.” The fact is history professors actually study why things happen and the consequences of those actions and they rank presidents accordingly. That is why they rate the presidents differently than uneducated people who can only remember the names of recent presidents.

The problem is not that leftist history professors nominate progressive presidents – only narrow minded conservatives see it as a partisan issue. Just like the way Norquist’s quest is to name the whole damn country after Reagan, and Bush will rewrite history with his “library.” The reality is that when the country evolves, (Lincoln ending slavery, Teddy Roosevelt protecting free market against monopolies, establishing the national park system and recognizing the rights of organized labor, Wilson and Women’s Suffrage, FDR and the New Deal, Eisenhower and the first desegregation legislation, LBJ and the Civil Rights movement), it is usually a progressive, forward thinking president who is in office. It shouldn’t matter what party they belong to.

Unfortunately, the Republican party has moved so far to the right of Lincoln, TR and Eisenhower that they have no one to champion their elitist and exclusionary and extremist agenda. Hell, even Nixon (visit China, start EPA, etc) and Reagan (negotiate with the Soviets, tax increases) wouldn’t be nominated by the modern conservative movement.

It was curious, however, that 0bama had previously spoken of “organizing” a bunch of youths whose mission it would be to help enforce “civil order.” This group, according to 0bama’s vision, would receive military training.

Democrat On Labor Protests: “Get A Little Bloody When Necessary”
» 54 commentsby Mark Joyella | 11:44 am, February 23rd, 2011
So much for the kinder, gentler language in politics. In a speech before a group of union members in Boston, Rep. Michael Capuano, a Massachusetts Democrat, said fights like the one over collective bargaining in Wisconsin were so important people might need to get their hands dirty–or worse. “Every once and awhile you need to get out on the streets and get a little bloody when necessary.”

The congressman, who’s reportedly considering a Senate campaign against Scott Brown in 2012, didn’t seem at all concerned about charges of using overheated rhetoric in the aftermath of the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords in Tucson. “I’m proud to be here with people who understand that it’s more than just sending an email to get you going,” Capuano said, according to the Dorchester Reporter. “This is going to be a struggle at least for the next two years. Let’s be serious about this. They’re not going to back down and we’re not going to back down. This is a struggle for the hearts and minds of America.”

(h/t The Hill)

Matthews has a habit of making regretful statements.

Make up your minds, first Reagan is a moron then he is pictured on Time magazine with our man child socialist president with his arm around him trying to con us into believing Obama is another Reagan were trying to tell us their philosophies were parallel and not diametrically opposed as they really are.

There’s one thing that’s for sure Obama isn’t good enough to shine Reagan’s shoes, Ronald Reagan loved America and believed in the American people and our founding principles but Obama was weaned on Marxist philosophy his whole life and surrounded himself with people who shared his America hating ideology, how a person like this could ever become president of the United States is the greatest mass con job in world history.

Hey Matthews you still got that tingle going up your leg? Now that’s a self-deluded moron for you, he and the rest of the lap dog media created this Obama Messiah myth, no wonder most people don’t trust them anymore as the ratings clearly demonstrate.
