HRC supporter would rather watch Fox News than MSNBC.

Game.

Set.

Match.

Shuster is a fucking moron.

he used the word "pimped".
 if he had used any other word the statement would be fine, but he used the word pimped.

Well, I'm an Obama supporter and I HATE Chris Matthews and agree that the statement you cited here is beyond absurd.  

Stupid is stupid, and has nothing to do with candidate preference.  Or at least it shouldn't.

Bah, HRC supporters are glued to CNN so they can listen to the sweet sounds of Wolf Blitzer.

Matthews has a history of backing losers. He loved Rudy who crashed and burned and now his attachment is to Obama. Digby's right that it change soon to McCain. Obama right now is just a tool for channel his Clinton hatred. If it's Obama vs. McCain, Obama will become the liberal ivy league elitist who working class voters won't show up for. The funny thing is, the polls already show that but he's so blinded by Hillary hatred that he can't see it.

Shuster must be reading the blogs, because he "apologized" for his remark on Morning Joe this morning.  He said he wanted to take care of a little "housekeeping", and mentioned that everybody loves Chelsea, and everyone --even Huckabee-- compliments the Clintons for having raised her the way they did.  

He said he used a slang term that he didn't think would be taken the way it was taken, but that he should have known better before using it.  He apologized to the now standard "anyone who was offended".    

I'm so happy MSNBC has made it clear they love Obama and dislike Hillary with much disdain.

The reality is that HRC is the most devisive politician alive and if she is our nominee we will be saying hello to John Mccain in the Whitehouse.

David Shuster and the whole pack of Hillary haters are Obama's pimps.

Come on, Jer. Bashing the media is old news. Give me something I don't know.

Besides, I don't hear you bashing anti-Obama fonts. Or anti-GOP pundits. Or CNN for being so vapid. At least be an equal opportunity media basher.

But I agree that the story of whether or not it's okay to attack surrogates (i.e., Chelsea Clinton) is pretty lame. Don't they have issues to cover?

TV journalism is trash across the board.  Nothing surprising there.

Add me to the list of Obama supporters who are disgusted by the sexism in the media in general and MSNBC in particular.  My opinion of Chris Matthews was pretty low before this election and yet he still managed to go lower.

Sexism is bigger than this election.  I don't want Clinton to win, but our political preferences in a democratic primary shouldn't silence the need to attack sexism in our society.

Keep oinking, pigs! It fires up the Hillary donors.

We are going for TEN million in 72 hours, and Schuster's hateful comment only motivates us more! We just might make it!

You nailed, Jerome. Pig of a man. Boar. Swine. I used to have respect for David Shuster and his commentary. No more. No matter who you support, this is an insult to woman, mothers, and daughters. What is this sexist, misogynistic crap and utter disrespect of women going on over at this network?

What is wrong with him? What the hell is wrong with MSNBC? They are running one hell of a blatantly biased, negative campaign against the Clintons this election cycle.

I'm going to write to the producers of Tucker and MSNBC and I encourage everyone to do the same. Also, forward this to Media Matters.

What a pig. Deserves to eat mud for this one.

As an Obama supporter, that was a mean thing for David Schuster to say. Needless to say, just because a media person said a bad thing about Chelsea is not gonna change my vote.

Jerome:

come on dude.  He has more integrity and non bias than you will ever have.  Let's take for instance your predictions on Super Tuesday, which I saved because it was so freaking loving Hillary it was embarrassing:

Here's my best-guess. I think so many of the states are so close, that its tough to make a 'winner' but here goes:

States

Clinton: CA, NY, NJ, MA, MO, TN, AZ, CT, AL, AR, OK, NM, DE, UT, AK

Obama: IL, GA, MN, CO, KS, ID, ND

I go with Clinton winning 15 and Obama winning 7 states. Where Obama could change the narrative, is with a win in California; that would make it a battle all the way to the convention.

Not that you are letting your feelings/emotions cloud your objectivity.  Just wondering when the transition to shill and hack happened?  Or how much is Mark Penn paying you to spew this shit to everyone.

I thought of another great reason to vote for HIllary, Rush Limbaugh said he'd raise money for her! Limbaugh, Coulter & Clinton. That's my ticket!

That simple.

was when my first child was a baby. We decided never to have the tv turned on while he was awake.

Our kids have late bedtimes, so we don't turn on the tv until the Daily Show and Colbert.

We don't miss anything.

I recommend this approach to everyone. We wasted too much time watching tv before we had kids.

Chelsea is absolutely fair political game, but WTF does that have to do with politics?

Keep up your sneering, Matthews, Schuster et al.  All over the country women are seething and writing checks to HRC.  These guys painfully remind us of our classmates, our bosses, our first husband.  And so does Obama.  He's the 22-year-old guy that got hired off the street to manage my local McDonalds over the smart woman who's been there for 10 years.  Her name tag says Betty; his says Mr. Robinson.

Schuster has been OK for the most part, though this was a despicable thing to say.  I think the corporate environment at MSNBC is rubbing off on him.  It's especially sad to see KO become another ass-clown for Obama.

Note, I wouldn't give $$ because of Schuster, but I will because of Obama supporters defending that remark.  It ranks along with the assholes condemning Hillary for Bill's sexual sins.  For a campaign about "unity and inclusion" this bunch is the most divisive force I've ever seen in Democratic politics.

Keep pushing guys.  If you win the nomination, you'll probably get my vote in November but nothing more-- no money, no calls,  no showing up at rallies, no trying to sway undecideds..   I'm tempted to turn my JRE passion over to Hillary on a dime now-- meaning money and activism.  

We flipped through CNN, MSNBC, and FOX on Super Tuesday.  The contrast between MSNBC and the other networks was embarrassing and shocking.

Olbermann is just as bad as Matthews if not worse.

Who was laughing in the background when he said it??? Sounded like Chris Matthews. Disgusting, male PIGS! I just emailed that video to all of my aunts in Ohio, those old gals get the word out and they VOTE

It was on the tucker show with shuster sitting in for tucker with bill press and that other older blog writer... did not hear the laughter but I doubt it was from Press who is a huge HRC backer.

Shuster used a horrible choice of language with his comment about Chelsea. As an obama supporter, I think she should be off limits. Sure she is 28, works for a hedge fund, and is stumping and calling superdelegates and the View ladies...that is her perogative..it is her mom.
I think as long as she is stumping for a family member,she is off limits to the press. Unlike Bill, she is not a professional pol. Once she starts doing it for a living..she should be questioned like other pols.

Shuster should apologize for his words.

I'd deck anyone who said that about my daughter, as would my husband.

The fact that a journalist felt free to use it is beyond disgusting.
