Chris Matthews had a big fight with Howard Dean and Joan Walsh today. They said Andrew Breitbart posted an edited tape of Sherrod making her out to look like a racist. Chris said "No he didn't." They said "Yes he did." He said "No you're both wrong, I'm right." Chris said that the whole stink was over Breitbart making the video seem like Sherrod was telling a current story. He seemed to pretty much defend Breitbart and Fox News.

Then he showed, what he says, was the original video Breitbart posted. This video showed Sherrod talking about how what she was thinking about white people was wrong. So then Chris had a little "ha ha" moment and Howard Dean said "That was not the video I saw." So Chris got all offended like Dean was trying to call Chris a liar.

It was really ugly.

I know that sure wasn't the video I saw when the story broke. If that was the original video posted, why was Sherrod called a racist?

What I know is glen the fuckhead piece of shit beck was going to play the video on his show, as if she was a racist, which clearly she isnt if you watch the whole video...that was why they fired her in her car...and hannity was showing the clip making her out as a racist, etc.

that is what i was told, i wouldnt know because at my house fox news isnt allowed

Chris can sometimes try my patience...

But the video shown all all over Fox, and CNN and MSNBC too, at first did NOT show the part at the end where she says how she felt was wrong. All they aired was the racist part. Why did they fire Sherrod if the video showed her not being racist?

i dont know what chris played, my impression was fox ran the racist only part many times but when i dont know...

chris needs to be seen as impartial because he likes to think of himself as a major player...

Well after the entire tape was shown, even Fox acted surprised. O'Reilly even apologized. So I don't think it was them who edited the tape. I think they showed what was on Breitbart's blog and that was the racist part. I mean, I really think Rachel Maddow would have checked his website that day before going on her whole rant on why Breitbart is a liar.

Isn't it possible that after Breitbart got caught he reedited the tape and reposted it and that is what Chris saw?

Very likely...although no matter what Chris showed, it wasn't what was on Breitbart's site prior to the firing. No matter what, it shows Chris to be stupid as hell in this instance. He surprises me often; sometimes he can seem very smart and insightful then he acts like a complete idiot. Bi-mental? lol

no, just mental

For the 2nd run of that episode of Hardball, Chris retaped that segment. This time admitting that the tape was edited http://www.mediaite.com/tv/chris-matthews-retapes-sherrod-segment-for-7pm-hardball-rerun-after-5pm-flap/

Chris Matthews is a male appendage with a wart!!
