Somebody needs to make a 'Scumbag Matthews' meme.

Let's not forget what Chris Matthew's job is:
Chris Mathews: My Job Is To Make Obama Presidency Successful

Total neoconservative. He'll straddle party lines to make a better country?

Give me a fucking break....

But it's ok because he said "front runners", which always means NOT Ron Paul. Hence, the exclusion is qualified.

Not just an #honestmistake.

Establishment goons are so transparent. I really try not to hate anyone or anything, but the Corporate media...they have my ire and wrath. Expose, destroy, and replace.

Ron Paul led the poll for "all Americans". Matthews is covering the poll looking at just Republicans, where RP was third. Still, it's no excuse to exclude him.

Fucking disgusted by the people who run this country and all who play a part in its gradual demise. Ignorance is no excuse in the age of information.

I often wonder why Chris Matthews vigorously stood up for Rand Paul against his Democratic opponent:

Matthews had been talking about opposing religious tests for political office for a week or so before Conway did the AquaBuddha stuff.

If Matthews was talking about just Republicans, the totals shown on the screen would be 46% Gingrich, 54% Romney, and 56% Santorum (51% Ron Paul) but the totals shown on the screen match the 'All Americans' results from the links to the poll.... 25% Gingrich, 34% Romney, 32% Santorum (42% Ron Paul).

I saw this bullshit yesterday and it made my blood boil.

Chris knows better than to pull shit like this.
