I sometimes want to mute the Tee Vee Machine when Chris Matthews interviews certain guests, but I also think he’s a likable man with a lot of good things to say. In fact, Matthews is a hoot when he’s a guest himself, especially on Real Time with Bill Maher.

His “Let Me Finish” segments are most often the best part of Hardball, and this one in particular is worth sharing. A lot.

“Let me finish tonight with this. I think the difference between the Democrats and Republicans is getting as wide as the Grand Canyon. Watch how they do it. President Obama wants to keep the government going. Pretty simple, huh? Republicans threaten to stop it. It’s relentless. The fiscal abyss, the debt ceiling the sequester, the end to the continuing resolution. Different words, different deadlines all detonate the same explosion.

“They threaten to crash the government if they don’t like the way it’s doing something, if they don’t like who the American people have elected as president. Isn’t that what the Republicans did back in the old days? If they didn’t like a government somewhere, Guatemala, Iran, the Dominican Republic, Chile, they just brought it down.

“Guess what: Republicans are now using the same tactic here at home. If they don’t like who we’ve elected president, they find some way to undermine the government, discredit its leaders, whatever to destroy it. We are using in this country the same old cold war CIA tactics to destabilize our own country.

“Look at the impact the constant threats to shut down the government have been having on public confidence. It’s all in the ratings. It’s undermining it, making people forever nervous about the basic ability of America to even have a running government. Is that patriotic? I don’t think so.”

 Again, this is one of those commentaries that should not be ignored.

The NRA feels threatened by ‘N Sync, Mel Brooks, Moon Unit Zappa, Geraldo, and a bunch of deceased actors

Ooooo, the NRA has an enemies list. Are you a-skeered yet? I wasn’t included, but if one day I end up on their Liberals Are Icky List, and if they ever come within ten feet of me, I’m gonna fight them off with my unAmerican bubble blowers and sticks and words. Sweartogod.

They did include AARP. And the Gray Panthers. And National Coalition Against Domestic Violence and National Black Nurses Association. Because they’re evil. They’re what one might even call “pro-life.” Go figure.

Think Progress counted, and they are reporting that there are 506 names on the NRA list. Which of course means that there are at least 506 sane people and/or groups.

Apparently, the Big Gunners feel unusually threatened by:

“Boys II Men – Pop Group” — Yeah, they’re a real threat. And it’s “Boyz,” geniuses.

86-year-old “Mel Brooks – Actor/Director”

“Jill Clayburgh – Actress” who died in 2010

Other deceased actors

The highly intimidating “Art Garfunkel – Singer”

Fox’s “Geraldo – TV personality” — Who? Oh, him. The guy who is “truly contemplating” a run for U.S. Senate. Why, whatever will ClusterFox say!

Soap opera queen “Deidra Hall – Actress” (which they also spelled wrong; it’s Deidre)

“Mary Tyler Moore – Actress” — What, they take issue with her trademark “Ooooohhhh, NRA!”

“Dick Van Dyke – Actor”– Well, at least he and Mary are in sync. Speaking of whom…

“N Sync – Music group” — No, NRA, that would be “defunct music group.” And it’s ‘N, not N, Einsteins.

“Moon Zappa -Actress” –  Omigod, NRA, her name is, like, “Moon Unit”! Barf me out! You guys are soooo, like, totally grody to the max! Gag me with a spoon.

There are so many more Point-and-Laugh Moments here. Enjoy!

Right wing blog threatens “radical liberal nuts” families: “Posting their personal info on our website & Google bomb them is priceless.”

I hesitate to link to the source of this blog post, so if you’d like to know where it’s from, please contact me privately:

Something that we do among other things is to label each one of these radical liberal nuts, we started a list a year ago and it grows by the day. When I get some progressive loon coming after me on a regular basis me and my team get their name and picture if they have one, if not find pictures, phone numbers of their family and friends and tweet the shit out of it. If you have a Facebook account post their info on there, if you want you can hand it off to me and I will get someone on it to write up a quick post on them. It is imperative that we do this, getting in a long drawn out Twitter war is useless; posting their personal info on our website and Google bomb them is priceless. It drives them crazy, and they will change their tune if you keep at them; remember the internet is forever and when people go to do searches on them what turns up? Pages upon pages of which they really are, and that effects their personal life’s and if they ever get off their lazy ass to get a job their new boss will find plenty of interesting reading material to include in their interview.

Aside from pointing out the obvious–his poor English and grammar skills and that he’s more than a little unhinged– observing the mind set of this member of a substantial group of far right wingers gives you an idea of how far they’ll go.

I know who this person is, I’ve spoken to him on the phone once when he posed as a Planned Parenthood supporter. I’ve been the recipient of his multiple Twitter account’s endless tweets of smears and lies that were spread about me by a so-called “liberal” who he’s also targeting, who’s also spent years trying to ruin my professional and personal reputation.

So I speak from personal experience. I’ve been on the receiving end and I still am.

Some of our readers are aware of these tactics, and some of you even know to what and to whom I’m referring and how deeply disturbing this has all been for so many of us.

Not all conservatives are bad and not all “liberals” are good.

I just thought I’d make you aware of what many of us face on a day-to-day basis. If you know an effective way to deal with it, speak up now.

VIDEO- Mitt Romney: “It’s been fun getting to know Ted Nugent”… the guy the Secret Service is investigating.

DNC video: “Mitt Romney: ‘It’s been fun getting to know Ted Nugent’”

How fun! Willard is getting all buddy-buddy with someone the Secret Service would  like to get to know, too! Maybe they can all be BFF and hang out and stuff.

They better hurry, because soon Willard will deny knowing Ted, and the whole magic moment will be over.

Video- Ted Nugent Stumps for Romney at NRA: “Chop their heads off in November” (Update: SS Investigates)

Updated-

Ted Nugent’s threatening remarks about President Obama at the annual National Rifle Association convention in St. Louis have earned him a follow-up conversation with the Secret Service. On Sunday, the singer remarked that “if Barack Obama becomes the president in November again, I will be either be dead or in jail by this time next year.” The Secret Service, which investigates all threats against the President, confirmed to New York Magazine’s Daily Intel blog that they have in fact flagged Nugent’s comment. “We are aware of it, and we’ll conduct an appropriate follow up,” the agent told the magazine.

I wish I could go back in time and stop myself from dancing to all his songs. Really just disgusting. Oh, and before the trolls start “He’s just a washed up rock star, he’s not even associate with the campaign”, Son of Mittens tweeted earlier “Ted Nugent endorsed my dad today! Ted Nugent” How cool is that!”.

VIDEO: Thinking of coming forward with allegations against Herman Cain? Lawyer warns, “Think twice.”

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

Poor little Hermie the Victim. All those ugly, mean, scary women are out to get him, so much so that his attorney is threatening them. This scandal is clearly all their fault, because had they not come forward, Cain’s campaign would be moving as smoothly as a BP oil slick.

Cain has twisted himself in knots trying to point the finger at everyone but himself, and Rachel Maddow, along with the wonderful Dahlia Lithwick, does her usual great job of reporting by exposing what slimy creeps Cain and his team are.

Sexual harassment is “becoming a point of pride.” Blame the accuser, belittle them, smear them, lie about them, slither out of a fair assessment of the facts, and then exploit the entire sordid mess by collecting pity donations.

“His campaign is saying, ‘shut up… think twice.’”

Rachel is saying, “Hey world, check out the misogynistic scumbags behind the curtain.”

Twitter account: “Liberals will not fight & we will gun them down like wheat in a field”

Look who just followed me on Twitter. Of course, I’ve blocked and reported him. I suggest you do the same.

He must have been listening when Sharron Angle mentioned “Second Amendment remedies”, and when Rush Limbaugh played “Barack the Magic Negro” (yes, I see he tweeted “Nero”; the reference is obvious):

The hostility and threats have gotten way out of hand. I have yet to run across a liberal account that posts this kind of hateful, violent spew.
