I am glad to see this happening. I think Chris needs to get out of the studio.

It’s always very entertaining when cable news hosts decide to hold the show from another location (other than a LA studio).

In other words say it ain’t so joe is going to tell them to sit on their thumbs and wait to be attacked before acting, like 0 is doing here.

Indeed, Jeff, it is far better to run off and attack half-cocked, without strategy or tactics, without a defined mission, without a cause, other than wild speculation, and with the false expectation that the people of the country being attacked would rally around us. What weenie would object to 4,380 American deaths when we have all of this, particularly when you’re not one of the people at risk? O, I forgot about all of those welcome home parties you attend. I understand now why you are so pro-war, regardless of the war, wherever the war.

Chris Matthews: New Location, same hacky bias.

If it comes down to it, Israel will take care of business with or without the world’s approval.

Indeed, they will.

While he’s in Israel, this would be a good time for Biden to congratulate Obama’s pastor, Rev. Wright, and his friend Louie Farrakhan for ‘winning’ those awards over the weekend.

You mean they’re (the Israelis) not breathlessly hanging on every word from such luminaries as The Real Racist King or Greasy Joe Biden , not even Adkins? Say it ain’t so!

All the worlds answers to problems can pretty much be found here, just ask TRRK, he’ll confirm.

Now, Farrakhan is the one who likes Israel, right?

“is widely expected to caution his hosts not to attack Iran pre-emptively while world powers pursue fresh sanctions against Tehran.”

This Obama Admin is truly breathtakingly amazing!!!

Why hasn’t anyone else ever thought of using sanctions, especially “fresh” sanctions.

Good, I just scratched Iran off my Worry About list. Now that the Obama/Biden is on the job with this wonderful newfangled idea of “fresh sanctions” that problem is already solved.

Achmadinejad is quaking in his boots. (But he did send his best to Wright and Louie for those awards. I heard that before the sanctions kick in, he’s planning on sending them a fruit basket.)

I have to say, when we are dealing with as troubling an issue as Iran, I don’t find humor, even very poorly done humor, helpful. We laughed our way through 4,000+ American deaths and 100,000+ Iraqi deaths, and, when it is all said and done, it really wasn’t funny at all, was it? Sure the American troops slipping and falling on the rose petals thrown by the welcoming Iraqis was a bit funny. See what I mean?

You can’t see any humor in Biden counseling Israel on how to behave, while a couple of days ago Obama’s mentor and pastor was buddying up with a known anti-semite? Yeah, it’s not ha ha humor. It’s what I’d call black humor, but I’m afraid I’d be called a racist for using that term, so I won’t.

Writer: You do realize that Arabs are Semites and that it is rather silly to use that term in the context you have used it? Secondly, your manufactured indignation over two (2) African American men, to whom you subscribe far more power and influence than they have, is rather thin these days.

Quick, quick a barf bag!

So you don’t have a sense of humor, especially when your beloved black men are part of the equation. And despite how you want to split semantic hairs, anti-semitism is regarded as being anti-jewish. Ask anyone. And yeah, if Wright was nothing but an unknown preacher in Chicago, he’d be totally unimportant. But when the president himself has said how important Wright was in his life, that’s cause for concern. JMO, but I have a hunch if a white president said he was influenced heavily by a white preacher known for his racist rants, you wouldn’t be quite so forgiving.

Oh dear, perhaps my humor was a bit overdone and completely unnecessary.

After all, I really really quit worrying about Iran when the NIE report came out in 2005, or was it 2006, proving conclusively that Iran had STOPPED developing their nuke technology in 2003.

Don’t worry, be happy. And I’m sorry for being so cynical. I’m sure that if we had a white president whose white pastor was a racist and had a best friend known for hating Jews, the left would say it’s no big deal. Not even worth mentioning.

Israel doesn’t need our approval to attack Iran. If they do attack, good for them. Iran has it coming. Iran has been saying how they want to kill them all, wipe them off the map, blah blah blah. I hope Israel does rise up and smack them down.

If I kept saying to the people that lived in the house down the street: “Once I get a gun that’s more powerful than the gun I currently have, I’m going to kill your entire family.”

They could:

A) Wait for sanctions to be applied to me by people that ultimately don’t care if that family is killed in the hopes that it will halt my pursuit of a more powerful gun.

B) Race to get a gun equal to or stronger than the gun that I am pursuing.

C) Attack first.

I would attack first but that is just me.

I am curious to see the interview, though. Matthew’s is more fiscally conservative than Obama/Biden, I think, and he may hold Biden’s feet to the fire on spending.

The Real Racist King has a sense of humor. He just can’t admit it. I defy anyone to not smile and giggle just a little bit a the mention of Joe Biden. Boy the history books will be kind to Greasy Joe won’t they? What a legacy he’ll leave…That’ll make ya laugh.

Matthews ought to broadcast from Tehran instead. It would seem to be more aligned with the MSNBC philosophy.

Can you imagine the dinner conversation of Joe Biden and Chris Matthews would have…lol
Talk about two real stupid people trying to talk legitimately about world events.
I am sure Chris would say ” I still have a tingle running up my leg.

> I hope Israel does rise up and smack them down.

Thank-freaking-god you’re not the Prime Minister of Israel.

>It would seem to be more aligned with the MSNBC philosophy.

No separation between religion and state, anti-gay, socially strict and conservative and, women subordinate to men, no labor unions and no rights to strike, religous-based social welfare through Zakāt.

More like a conservative’s paradise.

Then that settles it. We should side with Iran.

And despite how you want to split semantic hairs, anti-semitism is regarded as being anti-jewish. Ask anyone.

I did ask the man who cleans out the urinals in the airport, and he said “Semetic” is of or pertaining to a linguistic group which includes Arabic and Hebrew. I’ll ask my bank president when I see him later today and see what he says.

Actually, Iran is ruled by religious fundamentalists which might tend to suggest that FOX might be more suitable. Even then, I think it is simply foolish to suggest that any network, even FOX, would be aligned with Tehran.

The faux royal king is a toe-tapper? Shocker!

Oh, so when people say Farrakhan is anti-semitic, they mean he’s anti-Arab. I see. And that stuff about Judaism being a ‘gutter religion’? He’s talking about Arabs there too. Thanks for clearing that up. Odd that a Muslim is anti-Arab, but RK says so, and that’s good enough for me.

Sorry, Writer, but I am not responsible for a flagrant misuse of a word by you or by others. All I can do as enlighten, as I have.

Perhaps you could enlighten yourself to see racism when it comes from someone other than a white person. Nah, just kidding. I know that ain’t gonna happen.

Let’s get off all this clap trap about TRRK’s man servant who cleans urinals in the airport b/c as one might suspect his info is not quite kosher, shall we say, nor is it germane to the actual discussion of anti-semitism.

From Miriam Webster online:

Main Entry: an·ti–Sem·i·tism
Pronunciation: \ˌan-tē-ˈse-mə-ˌti-zəm, ˌan-ˌtī-\
Function: noun
Date: 1882

: hostility toward or discrimination against Jews as a religious, ethnic, or racial group

Perhaps TRRK’s expert has had his brain addled by all those fumes from the urea lurking in TRRK’s urinal.

I know TRRK is a very sophisticated, intelligent and educated (as he has so often said/implied) and I am shocked that the first expert he had to consult was a specialist maintenance engineer in charge of urea at the airport. I would have thought that any fairly intelligent middle schooler would have known what seemed to escape TRRK.

Oma Hawkins, Dearest, I know what the word means, and I only consulted with the janitor, who I don’t hold in contempt and disdain, as you do, to try to see if someone similarly situated to Writer might know what the word meant in it true, broad context. “Semitisch” is German, probably late 18th century, and it does, indeed, refer to the language group in its noun form. Since World War II, the term has often been associated with Jews, but never exclusively, nor primarily. Your 1882 definition first appeared in an anti-Jewish pamphlet, often seen as a precursor to the Nazi literature of the same nature. Now, perhaps you’re not uncomfortable with co-opting Nazi linguistic distortions, but I am. Please leave etymology, the derivation and proper usage of words, to the educated and wise.

Quick, Quick, a barf bag!

Every day, my sympathy for those White Christian males who, like you, have so long labored under the yoke of brutal oppression and blatant discrimination in Amerika.

Nice job, Grammie. ;)

Nice diversion, Royal. Thanks for proving my point.

Chris: You could anchor your show from the moon and we aren’t going to watch you. You are a whack-job with a “tingly feeling” running up your leg. Are you sure it wasn’t running down your leg?

Are you saying that it is impossible for a white person to be a victim of racism? Really?
