Chris Matthews... the Liberal so called news expert... thinks the Panama Canal is next to Egypt... What a mental Midget.

Guess this is what you should expect from a guy that gets a tingle up his leg when he's near his Messiah Obama.

Video of him opening his mouth and inserting his foot.

Blame that on the liberal Dominated Public school system... its been going to crap for over 30 years now.

Hello smoothy:

I'm not so worried about people who make gaffes. I've made a few. Of course, Mathews is an educated man, and KNOWS where the Panama Canal is.

On the other hand, Michelle Bachmann, the Tea Party leader, actually believes that the founders fought slavery "till their dying breath (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fG-x1K2eZo)". Plus, she thinks John Quincy Adams is a founder...

For a leader, she's unbelievably WRONG and UNEDUCATED about history. Any fifth grader knows the real story. Now, THAT is something to worry about. She's a LAWMAKER, for crying out loud... Mathews is a TV dude...

exconYou're a hypocrite... I seem to remember you going off when Sarah Palin made a comment that was an obvious exageration.

Chris Matthews is a dolt, a liberal dolt... and that's not the first bit of stupidity he has spewed... But then the left seems to think they are the only ones that know anything and everyone else are neanderthals.

Want to talk about leaders not having a clue... Obama... and Biden... Joe puts his foot in his moth every time he opens it... and so does Obama every time he opens his mouth without reading what someone else wrote for him to say off a teleprompter. There you go... two Rocket scientists there.

I think it's funny. :D

Was it a mistake? Most likely but it is funny regardless.

Faux pas is excusable if a left leaning person states them.When Joe Biden does them it's dismissed as loveable Joe being Joe. Everyone knows Schmuchy Schumer knows the 3 branches of government aren't the House ,Senate ,and Presidency.

Matthews and Schumer misspoke. When Republicans mispeak they are stupid.


Bachmann didn't say the Founding Fathers ended slavery before the Civil War.

Here is her exact quote :

We know there was slavery that was still tolerated when the nation began. We know that was an evil and it was scourge and a blot and a stain upon our history. But we also know that the very founders that wrote those documents worked tirelessly until slavery was no more in the United States. And I think it is high time that we recognize the contribution of our forebears, who worked tirelessly, men like John Quincy Adams, who would not rest until slavery was extinguished in the country.

1st JQ Adams is forebearer s Bachmann states... NOT a founder .

2nd it is true that many if not most of the founders were anti-slavery and only tolerated it to the point that they would not allow the issue to destroy the chance of the founding of the nation.

The end of the slave trade was written into the Constitution so that the business of slavery would wither on the vine They were also aware that their generation would not resolve the issue .
So they punted rather than see the chance of a United States destroyed at the outset.

Perhaps Matthews is too stupid to understand the context.

Tom- I see your signature includes the line "Veritas vos liberabit"... do you believe this?

the very founders that wrote those documents worked tirelessly until slavery was no more in the United States.Hello again, tom:

I don't know.. In MY history, the founders were ALL dead before slavery ended... But, that was from a liberal school... I guess history is different if you're a right winger... So, slavery ended LONG before the Civil War. Whaddya know about that?

Why anyone watches a "news show" that is there just to get ratings is beyond me. STOP WATCHING CABLE NEWS THEY ARE ALL IDIOTS!!

The end of the slave trade was written into the Constitution so that the business of slavery would wither on the vine They were also aware that their generation would not resolve the issue .
Article 1, Section 9

John Jay one of the authors of the Federalist Papers wrote :
"It is much to be wished that slavery may be abolished. The honour of the States, as well as justice and humanity, in my opinion, loudly call upon them to emancipate these unhappy people. To contend for our own liberty, and to deny that blessing to others, involves an inconsistency not to be excused."

"I believe a time will come when an opportunity will be offered to abolish this lamentable evil. Everything we do is to improve it, if it happens in our day; if not, let us transmit to our descendants, together with our slaves, a pity for their unhappy lot and an abhorrence of slavery."
Patrick Henry

Even Thomas Jefferson wished slavery ended.
"There must doubtless be an unhappy influence on the manners of our people produced by the existence of slavery among us. The whole commerce between master and slave is a perpetual exercise of the most boisterous passions, the most unremitting despotism on the one part, and degrading submissions on the other. Our children see this, and learn to imitate it; for man is an imitative animal. This quality is the germ of all education in him."

If it were up to the founders as a group there would not have been slavery. However ,they represented the people of the nation and at the time of the founding there was no consensus for ending it.
Your not saying they could've imposed a solution on the nation... do you ? The fact is ;especially in the case of the Adams' they did what they could to end the institution.
