Why I have issues with the left

[Vance2335]

This is why I have distain for a lot of people on the left.

CHRIS MATTHEWS: I am so proud of the country. To reelect this president and overcoming -- not because of the partisanship or even the policies. Here's an African-American guy with an unusual background -- part immigrant background, part African-American background -- with all this assault on him from day one. From Mitch McConnell, from the clowns out there that will never be elected, never will be to anything.

And the way he took it, as someone said, with coolness and charm and dignity and took it and took it and kept moving forward and doing his job. And the American people, and I know we look at these percentage, 40% of white vote. Fine. That's about right among Democrats in the last couple cycles, three cycles or four. Good work for them. Good work for him. A good day for America.

I'm so glad we had that storm last week because I think the storm was one of those things. No, politically I should say. Not in terms of hurting people. The storm brought in possibilities for good politics.

Chris often makes stupid staments and he didn't phrase it correctly. But I don't know how the storm helped Obama. Responce has been horrible from FEMA but somehow Obama gets credit for a good job? Thank you media.

Contrary to popular belief, I'm not making excuses for the outcome of the election...Obama won, fair and square.  The majority of the people spoke.

Thanks for that. :)
I feel good about the possibilities. There will always be the negativity on both side, we jst need to keep heart and stay rational We'll get through this.
May the force be with you. :)

Yes, he can be WAY more obnoxious.

Yes, I don't particularly care for Matthews either...and I agree about Limbaugh. They're both kind of in the same kind of camp, IMO.

Although, this statement from Matthews was one of the more milder ones.

To clarify too, I'm not saying that Obama needed a hurricane to win...or blaming Romney's loss on it...I'm simply saying it had a big impact.  That was evident in the poll numbers immediately after.

Contrary to popular belief, I'm not making excuses for the outcome of the election...Obama won, fair and square.  The majority of the people spoke.

Every time I see Chris Matthews I picture that guy I couldn't stand in grade school because he was so annoying.  

I don't think he is an example of the left as much as an example of someone really obnoxious.  

Disclaimer to my statement, the quote from him/link provided is not the only reason i say that about CM.  That has been my impression of him for a long time.  I'm not a fan of his.  But I don't like Limbaugh either who also makes me picture that obnoxious guy from grade school.
