Salon’s Joan Walsh compares Barack Obama to Ronald Reagan. Michael Steele laughs his ass off.

Joan Walsh showed up with Michael Steele on the Chris Matthews show and hilarity ensued.

Joan Walsh has done a remarkable job of making herself look completely unqualified to work on network television. She’s racking up a series of idiotic quotes that, if continued, will merit her a personalized section in Roget’s Thesaurus.

She showed up with Michael Steele on the Chris Matthews show and hilarity ensued. Well, Steele was, admittedly, the only one who found Walsh’s comments funny, but he found them very funny.

Walsh: Well, right. Well, Reagan was very much a conservative, and I didn’t agree with him on much, but he was a pragmatist and a compromiser. And the fact of the matter is, Chris, I heard my friend Michael talk about the Constitution and the Tea Party likes to talk about the Constitution and the Founders, but the fact is the Founders didn’t agree on very much at all.
Steele: Right.
Walsh: The Founders argued about a lot of things, and they created a system in which we had to talk to one another and had to compromise. This President, President Obama, who I don’t always agree with either, is actually the Reagan figure here.
Steele: [Laughs]
Walsh: He is the person saying…
Matthews: Why are you laughing?
Walsh: …you know what, I’m going to disappoint some folks.
Steele: Okay. [Continues laughing]
Walsh: Please don’t laugh at me, Michael. I didn’t laugh at you.
Matthews: Why are you laughing, Michael?
Steele: When you say something funny, I’m going to laugh.
Matthews: Why’s it funny?
Walsh: Why’s it funny?

This exchange explains the theory behind IHateTheMedia.com in a nutshell: The left can’t stand being laughed at.

In this case, we can’t figure out which they like least: Being laughed at or being unable to figure out why they’re being laughed at.

Conclusions that can be drawn from this video clip: (1) Chris Matthews is a racist. (2) Chris Matthews is a lunatic. (3) Both of the above.

So the way we understand Matthews bizarre comment, blacks huddle together with other blacks at Democrat conventions, but blend right in at Republican conventions.

MSNBC’s Chris Matthews has become increasingly erratic since the November elections. That traumatic event seems to have picked him up and tossed him across that fine line that sometimes separates sanity from insanity.

Witness this interview with Michael Steele, the outgoing head of the Republican National Committee.

Matthews: Michael, I watch politics. I’m not an expert on sociology or anything but I’m an expert on watching politics. Like Gene, this what we do. I go to Republican conventions, I go to Democratic and as a white guy one thing I notice about the difference, one thing I notice about black people at different conventions. You go to Democratic a convention with Donna [Edwards] and black folk are hanging together and having a good time. They’re smiling, they’re enjoying themselves. They feel very much at home. You go to a Republican even you get a feeling that you are told, “Individually now, don’t bunch up. Don’t, don’t, don’t get together. Don’t get together, don’t crowd, you’ll scare these people.” Is that true in the Republican Party? Is that still true in your party? Did you fear that if you got together with some other African-Americans white guys might get scared of you?

Steele: (shocked) No! What are you talking about?

So the way we understand Matthews’ bizarre comment, blacks huddle together with other blacks at Democrat conventions, but blend right in at Republican conventions. And in Matthews’ mind, that leads to the obvious conclusion that Republicans are racists.

It’s that kind of insightful analysis that has earned Matthews dozens, maybe even scores of viewers.

MSNBC runs out of white people

It had to happen sooner or later. When every program, every day, points the finger at someone on the right and cries “racist”, it’s inevitable that you’re eventually going to run out of white people to smear with that label. So on Friday MSNBC switched to a black man.

MSNBC’s Ed Schultz invited Karen Hunter on for a repeat of her past performances in which she cried “racist”. But this time she smeared a black man, RNC Chairman Michael Steele. Why Steele you ask? Because the “news” network had already trashed Bachman, Bush and Beck in their earlier programs and had Palin, O’Reilly and the Tea Party scheduled for later in the day.

(As a public service, we’d like to point out that the segment begins at about the 5:30 mark. No reason to watch any more Ed than necessary.)

Hunter attacked Steele because he is touring America in a “Fire Pelosi” bus and said that Nancy Pelosi “should ride in the back.” We assume Hunter deems the statement to be racist because no Caucasian has ever ridden in the back of a bus.

Of course, it wouldn’t be MSNBC if there wasn’t blatant hypocrisy mixed in with their cries of racism, so in maligning Steele, Hunter declared, “I’m waiting for him to put on white face and do a reverse minstrel show.”

Yes, Hunter accused Steele of being a racist using language that cannot be construed as anything but racist.

Rolypoly Eddie laughed along, failing to point out the blatant hypocrisy due to either his ignorance or his dishonesty. Sorry we can’t be more definitive, but it’s hard to tell where one ends and the other begins on The Ed Show.

Toxic Janeane Garafalo compares Limbaugh to Manson & Hitler

janeane_garofalo_200x300Unfunny comedienne Janeane Garafalo showed up on Keith Olbermann’s show last night. She was as unfunny as ever, but Keith laughed Olber-maniacally anyway.

“The type of female that does like Rush is the same type of woman that falls in love with prisoners,” she said. After mentioning Richard Ramirez and Charles Manson, she continued by saying, “Eva Braun, Hitler’s girlfriend, that’s exactly the type of woman that responds really well to Rush.”

“(Former CNN anchor Daryn Kagan) dated him,” the ever-so-charming Garafalo whined, “so either she suffers from Stockholm Syndrome, a lot like Michael Steele, who’s the black guy in the Republican party who suffers from Stockholm Syndrome, which means you try and curry favor with the oppressor…any female or person of color in the Republican party is struggling with Stockholm Syndrome.”

Janeane Garafalo, equal opportunity hater.

Update: The Red Eye Crew has a good time ridiculing Garafalo (and Keith Olbermann) on this and related comments. It’s funnier than hell and worth watching. Includes video of Garafalo and Olbermann with their quotes.

Did Bob Schieffer say Republicans are racist?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYK3it70uCEThe word “racist” may not have passed Bob Schieffer’s lips, but that certainly seemed to be the implication of his commentary on Sunday’s Face the Nation.

While talking about Michael Steele, former Maryland Lieutenant Governor and newly-elected chairman of the Republican National Committee, he said:

“So it was that the party of Lincoln which had freed the slaves, but in the process had become the party of mainly white people, came full circle and turned to an African-American Moses to lead it out of the political wilderness.”

So from Schieffer’s point of view, the party that held the presidency until two weeks ago now needs to be lead out of the wilderness.

We’ve seen Charlton Heston in “The Ten Commandments” about a thousand times, so we consider ourselves to be highly-trained biblical scholars. And we have one question for Schieffer:

If Steele is Moses, doesn’t that make Obama the pharaoh?
