Comments on: This is almost painful to watch http://blogs.e-rockford.com/applesauce/2008/05/15/this-is-almost-painful-to-watch/ Pat Cunningham offers an unabashedly liberal perspective on national politics. A note of caution: The language gets a litttle salty on some of the sites to which this blog links. So, don't say you weren't warned. By the way, this blog's name is inspired by the Will Rogers quote, "All politics is applesauce."

But perhaps this is not an accepted form in a blog. Pat, you are the King of Journalism. What should I have used in this new-aged forum? Making stuff up? You mean like that bogus piece you copied on Mccain wanting to talk to Hamas? A sarcasm mark or sarcasm point identifies text as being derogatory or ironic.

Just makin' up crap again, right? We've come to expect that of you. Kaus: Why did you put quotation marks around “all republican voters” when that is NOT how MSNBC billed Kevin James?

I opined that he is too liberal for your tastes. And if Bill O. is a 'tool' to someone of your ilk, what then, Sean Hannity? Or maybe you get your talking points from Republican water carriers Limbaugh or Liddy. CR - I didn’t express an opinion about Matthews., so don’t tell me what I think.

Never had one. Never needed one. Granted, the pic is dated a bit. I'm grayer now. But no rug, no dye and no combover. CR: What “rug” are you talking about? Never had one. Never needed one.

I was just watching Special Report and finally saw McCain's Hamas comments in context. The MSM (loud mouth liberal Matthews included) is making it look like McCain was in favor of meeting with Hamas without preconditions. They didn't play the second part of the interview where he says that Hamas' behavior will determine whether we meet with them. OMITTING IMPORTANT INFORMATION IS LYING!! And the liberal media is expert at the omissive lie. Thank God for Fox News. I was just watching Special Report and finally saw McCain’s Hamas comments in context.

After lambasting James, Matthews surmised that the attack on the USS Cole in October, 2000 happened under - President Bush. LOL!

Incredibly silly and irresponsible, yes. Matthews is just simply a nutball, it amazes me that you'd think otherwise. If his ratings don't make it obvious that he doesn't resound with the vast majority of people then what does? MSNBC's ratings are consistently in the basement along with losers like CNBC and Headline News - usually under 50% of the viewers watching Fox and (gasp!) CNN. And comparing the ratings of tools like Olbermann and O'Reilly as a supporting argument must be some sort of Matthews-esque logic? Seriously though, it’s fun to be back in cyber-Rockford, with Pat Cunningham no less! Looks like your rug is finally out of the shop too! The twilight zone has nothing on us native Rockforders!

Hardly. Chris Matthews gets this moron Kevin James (who btw I've never heard of) on the show and then destroys him to show that the Right is clueless. I'd like to see him debate an intelligent conservative talk radio host like Michael Medved. Would he play history gotcha with a liberal? or a woman or minority? No, conservative white men are the only ones who have to play that game. If they know the answer they get nothing. If they don't then they get humiliated on national tv.
