‘Manipulable’: ‘Hardball’ Host Matthews Disses Rush’s Dittoheads

"But when you call yourself a 'dittohead,' it seems to me you've already defined yourself as someone who is, uh, let's put it this way—manipulable."

Ahh, how funny politics can be at this time of year, Matthews coming down on “dittoheads” is a hoot, isn’t this the same guy who had a “funny tingling” feeling up his leg after an Obama speech? It’s idiots like Matthews that are making politics more entertaining than sports lately, i think part of the reason for that is that liberals have come in to sports reporting and ruined that as well with their stupid “human interest” and “social justice” crap, I only care about wins and losses, not how many minority coaches and women in the front office. Just watch, it’s idiots like Matthews getting into sports reporting that will eventually kill interest in them, after all these idiots have even managed to politicize the freakin’ WEATHER!!!!!

Lets see…Chris Matthews opinions are heard by, what, 260,000 viewers on a good night? This guy and his show is the flagship of cable news failures…always in the basement of the ratings, he could be called the Fritzl of MSNBC. He wishes he could manipulate more viewers to watch him instead. As for Op Chaos, here in Indiana, as in North Carolina, PA, and many other states, entire families of Republicans have registered as “democrats for a day” in order to prolong the misery in the democrat primary. Then we’ll switch parties back the next day and vote with our party in the November election. It couldn’t be sweeter than to create mischief and mayhem for the libs.

Arbitron Ratings: 13.5 million listeners minimum a week for the Rush Limbaugh show.

Way to further alienate you faltering audience Matthews. Keep those personal insults coming. What happened to your Sunday show after Meet the Press anyways? It seems to have been replaced by Poker Championship.

PMD   May 1st, 2008 - 10:24 am

Chris Matthews is correct.

There are enough Rush listeners who will follow whatever he suggests to make a difference in the primary. The other guy seems to underestimate the power of the media’s ability to manipulate voter action.

[...] happened to watch this video this morning, and I gotta tell ya, as usual, Mr. Matthews is way off the mark.  Why is it that [...]

Proud 'Dittohead'   May 1st, 2008 - 12:33 pm

Libs don’t have aney sense of humor. We call us ‘dittoheads’ because we are making fun of the jerks like Mathews who calls us that. Its like the queers calling themselfs ‘gay.’ We have the same opininion because they are based on the facts and we are right, you don’t call smoeone who says the answer to 2 plus 2 is 4 a ‘Dittohead’ just because millions of other people know the answer, well we know what is right so it sounds like we sound the same. Rush does’nt tell us what to think, we already know it, we listen to him because is is a good sayer of things and gets in a lot of True digs at the Liberals, we like to here it.

Marjorie   May 1st, 2008 - 12:44 pm

libsukbad is the only intelligent poster on here. You other people should shut up and pay attention to her and learn. She is the next Ann Coulter and Michelle Malkin rolled into one.

Stan   May 1st, 2008 - 1:16 pm

“Chris Matthews is correct.

There are enough Rush listeners who will follow whatever he suggests to make a difference in the primary.”

ROFLMAO, and this was probably said by a member of the Obama cult, a group Matthews himself is a charter member of.

Dave's world   May 1st, 2008 - 1:29 pm

Chrissy goes on the warpath if anyone says anything bad about little Barack. F-ing hypocrite filled in for Rush at least once on Rush’s show. Listeners hated him, think he soiled himself he was so mad.

Steve   May 1st, 2008 - 1:49 pm

Rush isn’t the first to suggest this tactic . PA’s Governor ( and possible veep with Hillary ) is doing this for the second time .
I’ve saved the “register democrat” literature featuring Fast Eddie and Hillary on the cover and including the form required for change of party. My wife and I can’t be the only registered republicans to have received this.
D o you think Matthews will bring his “feather heads up to date ?

Mark   May 1st, 2008 - 1:49 pm

I’m a dittohead and proud of it.
Yes, we are manipulated: by beliefs and arguements that stand up to logic and common sense.
Chris: we know you are smarter than the rest of us. All your liberal buddies agree because they feel the same way.

Steve   May 1st, 2008 - 1:55 pm

Chris who? Oh you mean Tip’s old “GOFER? Chris is really starting to fall apart. First it was a “tingle up his (leg)? well, he is after all a Liberal Democrat…that feeling is normal for many male Dems for other male Dems. Poor Chris!

Bam Bam   May 1st, 2008 - 1:57 pm

Chris Matthews is a “Funny Tingling” feeling kind of guy. Then he realized he forgot to wear his depends diaper that day.

WWE   May 1st, 2008 - 2:43 pm

Let’s get this straight, Chris. “Ditto” does NOT mean we agree with Rush. “Ditto” came from Rush wanting to get rid of EVERY call saying “Nice to talk to you, love the show, gee, I never thought I would get through” and so on. Rush didn’t want every call to begin with this flattery, so he suggested that folks just say “Ditto” and then get straight to the reason for their call.

As for “manipulable” – survey after survey finds Rush’s audience to be more well educated and more wide ranging in opinion than the Democrats. Find me a whit of difference between the opinions of Hillary, Obama, Kennedy, Shumer, etc.

To quote the Great Communicator, “Well Chris, there you go again.”

What the leftist fail to see is the old media is dead.They can’t control the debate anymore.Free speech rules now so get over it.Isn’t the 1st amendment just great! USA USA USA!

OregonPatriot   May 1st, 2008 - 8:31 pm

Does anyone actually watch this mans show anymore???Between him and olberwoman they can’t run down America fast enough.Thinks that those of us not stupid enough to vote for obama are racists and the 90 percent of blacks who do aren’t.Go figure.This man has been a liberal.socialist hate-America first hack for years and that is exactly all you ever hear from pmsnbc.Just a few months ago they were telling us all how it was over for rush and the right in this country and now they have found out that America isn’t quite ready for the coronation of their hand-picked savior.Check out his so-called facts once in awhile and you will find that most of what comes out of his mouth is fiction and race-baited hatred.Thats probably why he is stuck at the network of the least importance left on the drive-by media. What will poor little chrissy have to say when the video of barry and michele comes out with them cheering and applauding one of the rev’s hate rants,and he said he just didn’t know…ya right.it will be great to see the look of utter horror when that one shows up,,,and i am here to tell you its coming as soon as barry gets the nomination.Unless hillary actually pulls this off,in that case i would imagine the cities will burn from our fine citizens that support barry,after all the only way a dem can lose an election is to have it stolen…thats getting so old isn’t it???
