she brings up many, many things that are troubling to many Americans.
we're headed toward socialism and Obama wants us to return to the
welfare state of the '70's, and don't take my word for it, do some
research into the Democratic tax policies of the '70's.

Chris Matthews should be ashamed of himself.

I guess you have a completely different take on it than I do. She spends her time making a roundabout case that Obama associates with people like Ayers and Wright, and Mathews tries to get at the relevance of the association. What does it mean?

So he asks her, "So you believe he may, you are suspicious that because of this association, Barack Obama may have anti-American views?"

And she reasponds "Absolutely! Absolutely! I am very concerned he may have anti-American views!"

He didn't put those words in her mouth. She said them. Do you think he hypnotized her with his Jedi mind trick?

Frankly, I do not like these kinds of shows at all and do not watch them. Mathews technique and style are as annoying as any of these combative style interview shows on either side. But I'm sick of this guilt by association and the way they use it to SUGGEST something without coming out and saying it. So I think it was great that Matthews got her to come out and SAY what she means, even if it took some badgering. She thinks Obama may have anti-American views and she thinks Congress should be investigated and exposed for its anti-American views.

Now that we know what she thinks, we can let her constituents decide if that is the kind of person they want representing them.
