Is GE / NBC Pushing For U.S. Regime Change?

Some have argued that GE – NBC has trumped up their anti-Bush Administration rhetoric since shortly before the November 2006 midterm elections.

Culprit #1 is Chris Matthews, who in his career has probably been accused more of garnering an anti-Liberal (or pro-Republican) bias (he worked for four Democratic politicians in the ’70s, but was a “Goldwater Republican” and in 2000 voted for Bush). The host of MSNBC’s Hardball is a regular contributor to the Imus in the morning show. And today he dropped the F-Bomb:

“I’m so sick of Southern guys with ranches running this country. I want a guy to run for President who doesn’t have a fucking — I’m sorry, a ranch.”

Watch the video below.

Last month, Matthews slipped the *s* word into a rant on Hardball:

“If you want America to be a hegemonic power in the Middle East, you’re out of step with the American people. We’re not going to fight it out with Iran for the next 30 years to see who the big shit — I’m sorry — the big name is on the block.”

This video is after the jump.

Matthews initial transgression into vociferously anti-Bush sentiment was first noted just 6 weeks before the November elections. Think Progress has the clip:

Matthews said that most of the media was sold a bill of goods by the Bush administration, but that he’s been “a voice out there against this bullshit war from the beginning.” He added that Cheney was “totally wrong” about Iraq but still “talks like God on television, and we are supposed to believe every word.”

  • After watching him over the years I think Matthews will play which ever angle will get him the most ratings. Now he is ready to pile on Bush after it has become abundantly clear that the tide has turned.

    He used to smooch the ass of every top republican including the way he used to beam at the Tom Delay's of the world when they were in power.

    Wait till he gets back on Bill's blowjobs. He hates the Clinton's so don't get too used to this.
