The Right Scoop
From here on out, every time I heard Chris Mathews speak I'll always think of Stu's impersonation.
Glenn Beck .. go back and hear what Michele Bachmann had said .. "the very founders that wrote those documents worked tirelessly until slavery was no more in the United States" .. the documents being referred tis the constitution ..
As usual twisting and misleading folks .. tch tch ..
I was laughing so hard ... thank God for a pause button. Chris Matthews is obviously a very slow learner or possibly chronically self-deluded. Did he learn nothing from the firing of Olbermann? Is he in denial of the outright rejection by the viewing audience as to the content and merit of MSNBC's programming? Oh well, some horses will drink from the water trough when led to it...others will stand in thirsty defiance.
I am not even going to try to act serious here I have two close friends dying in the next few hours, been an emotional ride and this had me rolling on the floor laughing!

I apologize first if I'm reiterating anything you may already know and it sucks for me when a joke falls flat when having to explain it.
Basically, I'm making fun of Mathews for confusing the Panama Canal with the Suez canal. When the Panama Canal was build by the U.S., "A Man, A Plan, A Canal - Panama" was a common slogan to get support behind the project for the Teddy Roosevelt administration. The U.S. construction of the Canal came after the French failed to build a canal in Panama, but the French had based their design on the same style of canal they had used previously for the Suez Canal.
The Chris Mathews dig comes from my purposely misquoting the Panama slogan for a similar slogan for Suez. "A Man, A Plan, Canal -Suez" written backwards doesn't work for a palindrome because it would be, "Zeus Lan, A Canal - Panama"
The Palin-drome context, I'm betting, needs no explanation.
apparently you missed the point about michelle said forebear and matthew thought to debunk her using founders, which wasn't what she was talking about
Beck admitted that Washington and many other founders had slaves. Thus he admitted that Matthews was right and Bachmann was wrong (ie the founders who wrote the Constitution didn't fight to end slavery).
Superb reasoning.
Of course, as Beck pointed out, she didn't say Founders.
Of course, as anyone can discern, just because some owned slaves does not mean all owned slaves. There were founders who were abolitionists.
Inability to reason and critically think seems to be specific to progressives.

Thats like me saying, our ancestors sought to abolish slavery, and you coming here and say, no they didn't because this person had slaves. How did that debunk what I said? It didn't
there were several founders who were ardent abolishionists...can you name more than 5 signers of the Constitution? How many of them were clergymen? Why did they write the 3/5th's rule?
Either you're just being coy, or you're completely ignorant of our country's history.
Dang edit did not work right, I was gonna adjust my spelling of actually. Now I look like I never made it out of the 6th grade
Some acrually liked being slaves, FYI, at least that is what my public education in the 6th grade told me. Never had to worry about food or a roof over their head, sorta like now.

We can always remember that old palindrome: A Man, A Plan, A Canal - Suez
I'm assuming Chris doesn't remember it or hates it because it's a Palindrome.
