Chris Matthews vs. Pat Buchanan On Sarah Palin In MSNBC Round 5

Chris Matthews and Pat Buchanan took MSNBC's infighting into Round 5 Thursday afternoon on "Hardball."

When Buchanan mentioned how America should be proud of Sarah Palin as a woman, Matthews asked, "When did you become Dr. Phil?"

"After weeks of crocodile tears over Hillary Clinton, now you've become the foster father of all women politicians," he continued.

Matthews then demanded that Buchanan name a single out-of-line question Palin had received, reminding him of the show's name. When Buchanan cited questions about Palin's family life, Matthews lit up over the Republican right's treatment of the Clinton family life, and a colorful argument ensued.

"What's your problem with strong women, buddy?" Buchanan asked. "The MS in MSNBC should not stand for misogyny."

We all know Pat is a clown, but why don't we ever hear about Michelle Bernard's cozy relationship with Dick Cheney's wife.

[walk0nwalls]

As much as I'm apt to agree with Mr. Matthews in this situation, them fighting on air is funnier.

[Bobonze]

Watch Round 6:

Olbermann vs MSNBC and all other networks...

and rightly so on Olbermann's part after that discusting "tribute to 9/11"
I was never so angered by such an exploitation of fear and the loss of lives... I can hardly type straight.

The RNC should be ashamed of themselves, and so should anyone who buys into that load of crap that I saw on my TV.

This Gal is the "Great White Hope" for the republican party now,her speech was scripted and she said what they wanted her to say.You just wait to the debates she could not hold her own because Obama and Joe are going to smoke um both with the truth and the fail policies of the bush administration,which mcCain has sided with 90% of the time....Obama 22008

[springsm]

They say she is smart. So mccain is dumb...I think Obama and Biden are very smart too...and Biden won't hesitate to "smoke em"...but Obama will.

[TroubleNYC]

So the man calling a black candidate "exotic" and that blacks should be thankful that they were brought here and introduced to stone age myths is now a feminist? Oh man, The Audacity of Pandering.

Love me some Michelle Bernard by the way. YUM!

[MrT3]

lol..mmhmm

[Wigelah]

Buchanan is a blowhard

[hopefulinpa]

I also agree with Matthews on this one.. The only reason the Rep. picked Palin is so they can cry sexism and blame that on the Dem. "cause they have nothing else. It is sad.. but I think the people of this country really woke up over the last eight years and are not going to make the same mistake they made voting for Bush. McCain has no new policies. They are all Bush policies. I am a registered Ind. and I get all kinds of invites to McCain town halls... yes you have to register, he even sent me a ballot you fill out if you are out of the country and can't vote.. loaded with his propaganda (I don't understand that one except maybe it is a cheaper way to advertise), and telephone calls to participate in conference calls. heehheehehehe.. Obama/Biden 08

[mesmerize]

Why would anyone take Pat serious. He was the main one saying we should be afraid of Senator Obama. Him and others never gave us a reason why we should be afraid of Senator Obama. They are now saying the Democrats are afraid of Sarah Palin. They gave us a reason. We should be afriad of her qualifications. I'm sure when they said be afraid of Senator Obama, they were talking about his image. Who he was. The man.

[mckatt]

Hooray for Pat Buchanon..I HAD been a fan of Chris Matthews for 20 years or more..but his outrageous misogynistic treatment of Hillary Clinton has turned me so off..so I was quite happy to see old Pat go after him..I can't stand Chris Matthews any more!

[OriginalScreenName]

Pat Buchanan is one of the biggest Misogynistic hypocrites of all time. This comment makes absolutely no sense.

[TiffanyHusseinBanned]

No it doesn't. Pat barated her until he found out she was one of his soldiers.

[LynndaMaree]

Don't forget anti semitic and not crazy about African Americans either.

[ObamAtomic]

Gosh you are clouding your brains,Old Pat,can defend himself, # 1 revisionist?

[Melissa]

I would rather have the idiot Chris Matthews on MSNBC than in the Senate, which is his lifelong dream. Who still watches this show?

[kdublya]

I'm going to hightail it down to the next RNC convention actively position myself behind a major news outlet and hope I get called up to the big leagues.

Stranger things have happened.

Look for me, I'll be the person waving hello.
Better yet, I'll call you to make sure your view isn't blocked.

Remember,

1. I'll be that special someone you know
2. at the convention
3. on the cellphone
4. waving
5. on TV!

Buchanan works for MSNBC and gets away with calling them misogynists? Maybe MSNBC should give Pat his travel ticket to Fox Network.

[Dreamers101]

I like Matthews but at times he can be a basket case I don't know which side his on but I guess that's the point.

[biglover]

Matthews is a conflicted guy. He doesn't know from one day to the other, where he stands. I can't stand wussies like Matthews. I prefer someone have the courage of their convictions whether I agree or not.

[duufus]

wow u want a reporter to tell you whatever.even if its bs....interesting i thought reporting was about the truth

[maxwellinformed]

I feel the same way. It was kind of good to see him call Pat and rethugs out on this issue. He probably kissed Pat's A in the next segment though.

[LynndaMaree]

[trollsbwild]

Pat Buchanan is a disgrace. As out of touch as it gets.

[ENK727]

I can't figure out why they constantly have him on. He's nuts.

[rwe]

he is on the right network

[apoyo]

Why then did then did Bill Clinton get impeached over the Monica thing? Wasn't that a private family problem regardless of where it took place? It wasn't like the president could go check in at Motel 6.

[Bulbul]

Are you skipping rounds ? When was Round four ?
