What a pathetic chump.

Hahaha, loved every second of it!

This clip encourages me.

Matthews shows awareness of history, insists on calling someone out when it's misrepresented, and in the end sets the record straight with the facts.

If the media starts doing this all the time, the Republican party is finished.

God help us, we may be seeing the beginning of the end of the era of truthiness.

This cheers me up immensely. *happy

I really have never laughed this hard. Tears are flowing freely. Chris Matthews is redeemed in my eyes.

This chode went to the University of Oklahoma. That's just great.

Boomer Sooner?

What Chamberlain did wrong?! He was an appeaser! HE WAS AN APPEASER!

"I think we just had the sideshow."

Owned.

That. Was. Awesome!

Remember kids, volume wins arguments!

Remember kids, in case of an emergency, hide under your nine-eleven.

He's like a perpetually bopping bubble-head.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

a parody of himself.

"Obama is the one secretly working in confidence with Hamas"

That was the point when I stopped listening and started laughing.

Wow, at 6:00, you can visibly see him talking out of the right side of his face. That's scary when stuff externalizes like that...

What was that bit about Dana Perino and Cuban missile crisis?

Searching for a sift/tube...

i was waiting for someone to ask "Am I Being Detained?"

You all clearly missed the fact that Kevin James made no admission of error and thus was at least as correct as the other parties in this exchange. Coupled with his superior volume, it's clear he was the victor.

This guy has a voice for Radio.

I think he went to the "interruptions win" school of debate. I'm glad he was called the idiot he is.

Wanker.

That was so lovely, watching chris call him out time after time was great.

Reminds me of this interview by paxman.

lol @ QM's downvote.

I was expecting him to climb on his chair and throw faeces.

"We're talking with people with blank slates as far as history is concerned..." wow. We've always wondered what would happen if we fail to teach history and rhetoric. It is as serious as graduating engineers who don't know math.

I have to say, though, that I'm pretty sure as he was forming his argument, Matthews was looking off to the left probably at a teleprompter where a producer was likely pasting stuff from Wikipedia about Chamberlain. I hate to be that skeptical.

I almost want to downvote because I just hate all these shouting matches that they have on these "news" channels. No one is willing to shut the fuck up long enough to let the other guy speak.

What on earth...

Conviction + hot air = ZERO.

Honestly.

What a vapid idiot.

LOL! Surprise, surprise.

Zor, I seriously doubt it. Chamberlain giving away half of Czechoslovakia, and then brandishing a signed agreement from Hitler and proclaiming that he had "secured peace for our time" is basic ninth grade history here in Ontario. It's the type of basic WWII fact all the grown-ups surrounding the young Chris Matthews would have been railing about incessantly at the dinner table for the twenty years following the war.

What do you mean a BLANK SLATE?! :-D

Loved it!!!!!!

more please.

I admit that I had no idea Chamberlain gave half of Czechoslovakia to Hitler, and I'm a history major in college! However, I would not use the word "appeaser" without knowing this information, and if caught using it, I wouldn't try to deflect criticism as if I really knew what I was talking about. But I'm not a talking head, so...

This is like a bad flashback for me. I had a "discussion" with a student several weeks ago about Iraq and American foreign policy. He played the part of Kevin, I played the part of Chris. I wonder if there is a course right wingers take to be able to keep up that level of ear-piercing shalking (that's shouting and talking at the same time) over an extended period of time? I would try to make a reasoned point with this kid and he would interrupt me and then shalk all over me. It was exhausting.

This guy has the same MO as a Scientology spokesman - as if saying things often and loud enough makes them true.

Wow, I was just waiting for someone to say, "Quiet now, the grown-ups are talking..."

Why isnt that right wing talking head employing the O'Riely dodge, if you dont know the answer make it up.

Matthews gave a great interview on Countdown on Friday too:

http://www.videosift.com/video/Chris-Matthews-expands-on-his-exchange-with-Kevin-James

Matthews is definitely on the road to redemption.

alas, 8 years too late

Kevin James had the right answer without proper knowledge of the equation.

Matthews was given the equation but came up with the wrong answer.

Did that shouting punk just seriously say Obama is in collusion with Hamas!?

>> ^Majortomyorke:

Indeed, again demonstrating the Right Wing's method of politics, create something, yell it really loudly until people think you're knowledgable, and try and hide and silence anyone who demonstrates your complete simpleton and incorrect knowledge of fact.

The bullcrap that he spouts and the minutes of trying to bluff his way out of not having any idea of the piece of history he's talking about... brilliant. Brilliant show up of a simple minded idiot.

The problem is that in so many cases these people shout this crap with conviction, and people believe it to be true because they shout it loudly enough and with enough venom.

Guy in the bottom corner finally steps in and says what? "Stop digging when you're in the hole, Kevin."
