Chris Matthews shreds right wing talker Kevin James on Hardball who can't tell him what Neville Chamberlain did wrong even though he's trying to use Chamberlain as a right wing talking point.

1. A small amount of information is very dangerous for tiny minds.....They THINK they know
Edited on Thu May-15-08 08:34 PM by opihimoimoi
but in his case(James) he goes on to make an utter ASS of himself....This the result of Ignorant Stridency and Hardheadedness......

I Loved it....Them Pubs are grasping at straws...ignoring the big issues......

2. Why do conservative talk show hosts talk so loud?
Edited on Thu May-15-08 08:34 PM by Fox Mulder
Do they think that the louder they talk, the more right they are?

It's so annoying. Matthews showed how much of an idiot that guy was.

6. The keys to success as a professional conservative bloviator:
1. Memorize set of talking points framing conservatives as always right. Be sure to include words that incite people's emotions against anyone who disagrees with this view.

2. Speak the talking points as loudly as possible. Drown others out if necessary. Interrupt if necessary.

3. Repeat as many times as needed in order to convince others of your correctness.

4. Do not deviate.

(Note there is no need to have any actual knowledge of your topic. Just repeat the talking points, and hammer on the emotional words, as loudly and frequently as possible.)

10. You're exactly right.
I've seen every right wing talk show host use every item you've outlined.

3. I lasted less than one minute. James is a blowhard completely devoid of substance.
"Lemme tell ya who shudda bin overseas talkin' to da Kunesit! Barack Obama shudda bin talkin' to da Kunesit!"

Whadda maroon.

35. I f you take it to the end, you'll see the frustration on Tweety's face,
the incredible denial of James that he just realized he hasn't a clue and he actually sticks by the idiocy right to the end, where Tweety is saying, "You don't know what you're talking about"...it's pretty damn funny...:D

37. Ok. I watched. Tweety demonstrated what we all suspected in the first 30 seconds:
James's head is empty.

I want my nine minutes back.

36. He was not "pandering".
I don't even know what you mean, actually. Did you watch the clip? Matthews was obviously genuinely angry and frustrated at this particularly egregious right-wing blowhard who kept saying "it's the exact same thing, it's the exact same thing" with no ability to say the exact same thing as what.

Pandering? Fake outrage? I think not.

11. Shit that's not the King of Queens???
I'd never heard of this dirtbag before. Whenever someone went off on Kevin James I really thought the King of Queens guy was becoming a republicon talking head.

12. you know, when I first saw that asshole on Hardball.....
....I knew the minute he started speaking that he didn't know what he was talking about! So I muted the TV during the parts when he was speaking and turned the sound on when Chris and Green were talking.

I just saw the replay on Abrams and Chris did a great job!! Now I know what he meant when he went to commercial and said he was doing sideshow next and that he felt like he had already done sideshow!!

13. "Your problem is you don't know what you're talking about" - and slammed Perino
"There's a difference between giving away half of Czechoslovakia and talking to someone!" you don't know what appeasement means!

Chris Matthews just went up tremendously in my opinion!

15. Tweety should be careful...
He literally owned this clueless mouthpiece for the better part of 10 minutes. Matthews is in grave danger of redeeming himself if he keeps this up!

19. Look up the term "Guilty Pleasure" in the dictionary
and you will find a link to this hilarious video.

It does not mean anything because this James clown is just a clown -- but, my God, this was spit-milk-out-your-nose funny.

32. He is the host of The Kevin James Show
which airs live on KRLA AM 870 in Los Angeles between 9 p.m. and 11 p.m., Monday through Friday.

AND he's a former Assistant U.S. Attorney and member of the California bar! God help us all.

25. Oddly...I was actually embarrassed by that...
why I should be embarrassed, eludes me, perhaps it's because it shows the incredible ignorance some Americans have about history, but I sat here amazed at what was transpiring before my eyes.

I love history, and what I saw was profound ignorance, being covered up by an increasingly belligerent jerk that could do nothing to bolster his argument, so he went into bully mode...nothing like repeating the same thing, louder and more aggressively each time, and hoping someone will finally get disgusted and just move on. Well, that almost happened, but the very rare occasion when Tweety allowed someone to respond at length, James just kept on digging his grave.

I looked all over to find an e-mail addy to send Mr. James a note of thanks, but trying to get a hold of him seems to be an act of despair, I could find nothing, and all I wanted to do was express my appreciation to him for showing the world that the RW'ers just don't have a clue.

I was going to post a historical situation, but most of us know what happened. In short, part of Czechoslovakia was ceded to Germany, and that act emboldened Hitler. The Czechs were none to happy about it, neither were the Poles on Sept 1, 1939.

Chamberlain misread the situation; but so did the R's in the US Congress...for it was they who did all they could to deny funding for upgrading our military under FDR. Odd how that is never mentioned. FDR knew what was happening, and the R's fought tooth and nail to remain isolationist, forcing FDR to work with an antiquated military, while trying to prepare for our inevitable involvement in WWII.

28. Here's Kevin James email address
heykevinjames@aol.com

Don't ask why an allegedly successful broadcaster has only an AOL email, but it does work.

He energized and legitimized. Then he legitimized and energized. Then, he self-lobotomized. For results, please refer to video above.

27. What a douche bag Kevin James is
Wow, from the very beginning Tweety asks the guy "Why are you yelling?" and the laughs at him. He laid a verbal beating on this Kevin James idiot.

What the hell is going on today? Conyers threatens to arrest Rove and Tweety doesn't let a right wing beat off get away with nonsense? I want to cheer for them but I keep thinking of Lucy and the football and Charlie Brown.

31. Of course James didn't know what he was talking about.

The crap about appeasement and Neville Chamberlain has long been a RW talking point.The RWers know nothing about history they just get their talking points and regurgitate them, and if you start asking questions they sound a lot like James. They've been comparing diplomacy to appeasement for the last few years.

33. I almost couldn't believe the idiocy when I first saw this.
I mean, I knew the right had some incredibly backwards and ignorant people. I just didn't know they let them on the air in such numbers. Can't they find any intelligent and knowleable people on the right? I guess in their world it really is who you know, and not what you know.

I wish I could listen to radio that ISN'T right wing. NPR is all right wing hacks (just like FIX news) where I live, and I see people here defending it...confuses me.
