Matthews Gropes Ellen

Matthews Gropes Ellen

We have heard that Chris Matthews, Misogynist, of MSNBC’s Hardball, will be the guest of Ellen de Generes on her show on November 20.

We hope that Ellen won’t throw Mr. Hardball a softball. We hope she will ask him about his sexism.

Here are some questions for Ellen to ask:

Why does Chris feel that he must interrupt and comment on women’s appearances?

Why is he so obsessed with Senator Clinton?

What is that tingle up his leg thing?

What is his view of journalistic ethics and media bias?

Why is it his duty as a news opinion-meister to help make the Obama administration successful, as he has stated?

Is he going to run for the Senate in PA?

Does he think we can stop him?

Please write to Ellen and tell her what you think of Chris Matthews, Misogynist appearing on her show. Consider forwarding the above questions to her, and urging her to hold his feet to the fire in the way a journalist ought to. We know Ellen’s not a real TV journalist, but neither is Chris Matthews, Misogynist, and yet he pretends to be.

You might even think about writing one or two of the Ellen show’s sponsors to tell them what it means to you to see misogynists like Chris on your favorite tv shows, and how that makes you feel about their products.

    I got the hint and wrote to Ellen. A revolting guest, in my opinion.

    That’s awesome, SantaFeK! Thanks for letting us know. Our letter-writing members have had some great successes in the last few months. Here’s hoping for another one.

    On her website …
    “Ellen Trains in Krav Maga to Fend Off Chris Matthews!
    Ellen has been working hard to prepare herself for the return of newsman and groper, Chris Matthews. Check out this clip to watch Ellen practice her newly acquired Krav Maga skills on a substitute Chris!”

    I doubt she is going to take us seriously but I will email anyway.
    I would have had to bathe in bleach were I her. He gets a tingle up his leg and he makes me get tingle in my throat. I’m pretty sure it’s nausea. ;)

    I posted your questions in the comments at her show where she prepares to retaliate for the groping incident the last time he was on her show.

    I sent the questions and a message to her. I love Ellen and enjoy watching her show when I can. Maybe she will try to ask some of the questions.

    Forwarded these and a few other questions, though I doubt she will address them. My impression of her show is that it’s light and doesn’t get into anything substanative. I look forward (I think) to hearing how the show goes.

    Done. I sent a message to Ellen. I love Ellen, too. She’s one of my favorites. I hate seeing her chat up someone like Matthews….

    Who are the sponsors that we can contact?

    Chill, all…she’s already made brutal fun of his coming back to her show…since the last time he groped her.

    She’s had a segment on self-defense where she takes Matthews down!

    Meanwhile….looks like Obama is putting Gov. Janet Napolitano in charge of Homeland Security.

    If Chris Mathews runs for the U.S. senate in my state of Pennsylvania, he will probably have to run against my current congresswoman Alyson Schwartz. She will in all likelyhood seek to run for Senate if Arlen Spector leaves. Alyson Schwartz is a democrat who campaigned hard for Hillary Clinton but then fell in line behind THE ONE, like all our other sad democratic leaders.
    Perhaps The New Agenda could reach out to Congresswoman Alyson Schwartz. In any case we have to defeat Chris the woman hater. There is No Way he is going to be my senator!

    Juliette, I look forward to Schwartz defeating Matthews if Spector leaves. I suspect New Agenda members will be 100% behind her! No problem!

    I bet it will be all kissy kissy nice nice with maybe a token jab at him, done with a smile of course. Someone said Ellen has taken Krav Maga lessons – what does a woman of wealth need that for when she can hire, and probably has, bodyguards? Oh, I get it, it’s a symbol of sorts, another statement. Any sexist pig worth his salt would want a script with strong assurances the script will be followed before stepping on stage and I’ve got a crisp 50$ says most women will applaud him when he comes on stage. There is a long fight ahead.

    Ellen’s having CM back on the show? self defense a good idea, maybe also a shrink to discuss the implications of a dance that starts out like a dance and ends up looking more like an assault.

    I wish I had know about it sooner and I would have tried to get into the studio audience. :)

    Just in case anyone missed it,

    “oh Ellen you’re so great!”

    “oh no Chris you’re so great!”

    “hey remember that time you grabbed my boob?”

    “yeah that was great!”

    “no you’re great…”

    Then I barfed and deleted it from my Tivo.

    I’m looking for the Keith Oberman article, I may not be putting this question in the right place, If it is on here can you tell me where?

    Thanks Again
