David Brooks is to a conservative what a soyburger is to a steak. EVERY one of the leading Republican candidates is closer to the base than that NY Times parody of a Republican.

This guy gets thrills up his leg when Obama speaks and just lately hears the Earth move and expects people to take him seriously? LOL.

Yeah, that was a couple year ago, chief.

They are just trying to say that the conservative base is stupid, hence “The regular people and their sense of CONSERVATIVE HISTORY.” and “the CEREBRAL writers like George Will and David Brooks – BRIGHT PEOPLE”. The Andrea Mitchell comment is just saying it plain so that people understand the others were really insulting conservatives & Bachmann as well. Just like the author apparently, since the quotes aren’t really that subtle.

@ Snow

So? Are you saying that things that happened “a few years ago,” no longer matter? Do you apply that standard to everything… or only hosts on “your side?”

The current GOP teabagger base is anti-science and anti-knowledge so, yes, Bachmann is a good fit.

He is absolutely correct because anyone with half a brain left a long time ago.

It’s not a particularly devastating takedown to say Chris Matthews “feels a tingle” up his leg.. I guess I’m just trying to hint that the joke isn’t that funny anymore…

@ Snow

It’s not supposed to be funny (IMO), it’s supposed to remind people just how biased and foolish Chris Matthews is.

And I happen to agree with Chris Matthews. She would be a good candidate for the Republicans as their candidate against Barack Obama. What fun…”bring ‘er on”.

Right on. The dems are CONSTANTLY saying “its George Bush’s fault” to every failure BHO has (and there have been A WHOLE LOT OF `EM), but now one say’s that was “a few years ago.” They don’t know any better, they’re just following what their masters at Kos tell them to say.

I think Chris Matthews is fairly non-partisan to most people, he’s said some crazy stuff though.

I just want to say though, that him thinking Republicans are doing the wrong thing is not biased, you can have that opinion and not hate the Republicans… he used to be a Republican, he just has a different view now.

non-partisan, really, i would say very few see him that way

If David Brooks is a Republican then so is Obama.

OMG! Chris Matthews speaks the truth! But then, he probably recognizes that Will and Brooks and the rest of the Country Club Republican Establishment hate the populist wing of the Republican Party as much as he does.

What makes you think he’s non-partisan? His overtly sexist rants against Michelle Bachman and Sarah Palin? His rudeness towards virtually all Republicans? His frequently far-left guests, put there to echo the left-wing lines?

Why would you think he’s “non-partisan?” What has he done or said to make you believe that?

What is the difference between being fed up with the Republican party and being partisan? Can you not legitimately have a problem with who is in charge? If you do, it seems to fall in deaf ears… instead of trying to fix problems, Republicans say their party has no problems and just go on the attack.. some of us wonder how long this can last.. and with Sarah Palin and Bachmann and Trump.. and the sideshow on the right, it seems like the time of the tea party is coming to a close.

Snowspot said:

Well… if you’re fed up with the Republican Party, and want to push another agenda, then you have your partisan opinion and bias. If you consistantly promote one party over another, then you have a bias. Are you saying that just because Matthews promotes the Democras 99% of the time, he’s not biased or partisan?

Can you not legitimately have a problem with who is in charge?

Certainly. But if your consistant in your views, and consistantly disagree or push for the “other side,” what makes you think you’re non-partisan in the first place?

If you do, it seems to fall in deaf ears… instead of trying to fix problems, Republicans say their party has no problems and just go on the attack.. some of us wonder how long this can last.. and with Sarah Palin and Bachmann and Trump.. and the sideshow on the right, it seems like the time of the tea party is coming to a close.

Well, that’s not true… everyone recognizes there are problems within their own party. Whether they’re willing to talk about it in public, is different. Can you honestly say the Democrats are different in that respect?

And do you not see your comment as an attack? Do you not think refering to politicans or political movements as a “sideshow” is an attack? Is this your idea of a substinative comment?

What it really comes down to is people who don’t know the difference between an opinion, and a fact. When you confuse the two, it allows you to say things like, “I’m not biased, I just believe in the truth… and this is the truth.” When what you’re actually doing is just pushing your opinion. It takes a lot of ego, and a lack of self-awareness that allows someone to be like that.

But is he wrong on this?

Look Chris, I know you’re laughing under your breath as you profess Michele Bachmann’s candidacy for president. I get it, you think if you push her she’ll gain some creditability. Forget it, as soon as her husbands remarks and her recent claims that children lived better under slavery than they do today get out, she’s done.

What do you mean the gNOpigs are crazy?

Buyble thumpin’ flag wavin’ pig stupid gNOpigs!?

Why?! I declare!

Let me break this to you all gently. Look through the smokescreen. Chris is and has been Obvious about his bias toward the left. So…. why would he continue to speak positively about a republican? Answer.. he wants to persuade the population (you) to have a person win the Republican Nomination who has NO chance to win a general election versus Obama. Badda boom badda bing, end of story.

Snowspot said:

He just heard the Earth move a week or so ago. Try to keep up.

So Chris Matthews is…..Pro Bachmann now??? 0_o

Brooks and Will are intellectually conservative meaning that they operate within the bounds of reason. Independent of end’s, they employ respectable means… Beck’s leadership on the right fringe is an instructive comparison…complete with barks, tears, props, appeals to fear and dread. The right is one the verge of fracture based on different understandings about how political knowledge is gained, how the world itself understood.

Fact; Liberals are so educated they make fun of their Gay teabagger base that votes for their side time after time. Bachmann will do great and may take the whole GOP race to the top spot with the help of Tea Party Patriots that will push for less government, less taxes and less spending on entitlements that will right the country from the socialist out to kill the American way of life. Rokker is a moron and even the minimum wage earners should pay their fare share of tax.

Gee — so the brilliant Mr. Matthews believes that the base of Republican party actually is closer to Bachmann than two pundits who supported Obama in ’08.

I happen to read both columnists, but who really believes that GOP primary voters read either?

Both writers are trying to play a game of telephone. If they say something that gets picked up by someone at another site (I don’t think either cares if the Times or the Post sell that well) it enters the “conversation”. Things get distorted along the way, but they’ve sent their message, “Bachmann is bad.”, and that seeps through. That is what they are counting on and Tweety (perhaps for first time in his life) is half right.

So, THE blowhard king of all blowhards, who just recently referred to Michele Bachmann as a “balloon head” is impressed by her now?

WOW!! The hypocrisy is palpable.

Chris Matthews is a little twerp. He should just come out of the closet with his man-love obsession of Obama.

It is difficult to believe anything Chris Matthews has to say, if he had not gotten that “tingle up my leg” when Oblamer speaks, he might have done his duty as a “reporter” to vett this unknown, inexperienced Chicago/Acorn gangster organiser. Had that happened, we would not be stuck with this imposter in the peoples house. Sarah Palin “did not have enough experience to be president” was the word from the democrap camp. She was the VP candidate and certainly many times better qualified than this great tele-prompter reader, who had never ran anything but his mouth and endless campaigns.
He is still campaigning at taxpayers expense, flying all over the country and world, at $72,000 per hour of flight time in AF1 plus the C131 chase plane at $85,000 per hour.
Chris Matthews will never tell you anything about the total of expenses the Oblamers have run up since their inauguration, for vacations, golf outings, date nights, returns to Oama’s “homeland” – Kenya.. Michelle has 28 assistants, Oblamer has 40 czars assisting him, they seem to feel they are owed any pleasure they desire, since they are members of the “oppressed” clan. Good riddance when we vote them out.

Chris Matthews: Bachmann More In Tune With Republican Base Than David Brooks Or George Will

I can hardly believe this astute observation came out of tingle’s mouth. Oh well, even a broken clock is right twice a day.

THAT SAID: While I believe Ms. Bachmann–a good and honorable woman–knows more about the interests and concerns of “We the Hustings” than do Brooks or Will, she is NOT “the President.” Paul, Perry, and Cain are better choices.
