Tomorrow Chris Matthews is having Bernie on Hardball. I'm afraid to watch.

They are going to be in Illinois.

I'm sure I will end up watching & taking notes. And with my twitter account up and running.

Chris, as you know, has been awful misrepresenting Bernie on democratic socialism, guns, healthcare, just about everything.

1. I sincerely hope

Bernie does not allow Matthews to interrupt and cut off his answers the way he does the rest of his guest. He is so rude when it comes to doing interviews. I'm sure Bernie will be able to handle him though. I'll be sure to watch. Thanks for the heads up.

[jillan]

2. And I hope Bernie brings a tarp. Chris Matthews always spits when he gets excited.

Matthews will interrupt, you can be certain of that. I stopped watching him about 1 yr ago.

[monicaangela]

3. That is true

I stopped watching MSNBC on a regular basis when they fired Ed Shultz. I slowed down a great deal when they fired Keith Olberman, I used to tune in to watch Maddow, but don't even watch her anymore. I do flip between stations to see what is being said from time to time, just for comparison. I will watch Chris Matthews when Bernie is on, but won't watch the entire show, just can't stand to watch anymore.

7. I also rarely watch after Ed left, but I try to catch his new 1/2 hr. nightly

news program M-F, 8 PM ET on RT USA, Russia Today- America carried by Dish, or live online at rt.com.

Ed comes on right after Thom H.'s The Big Picture show, 7-8 PM ET.

9. Yes I know..

I watch Thom Hartmann's show on a regular basis. I learned about Ed's new show there. I really wish they would increase it to a full hour.

11. Very good. I hope they give him an hour too, we'll see.

4. Bernie's tough. He can hold his own

and not let mischaracterizations stand.

[appalachiablue]

5. Saw that. It will be interesting to see if CM can restrain himself. He seems

a bit more calm than last summer and fall when he was really worked up. But I never watch regularly...

6. Matthews had been trying real hard to get Bernie on

Especially after MoveOn started a petition to get him suspended. Over 13,000 people signed so far.

[jillan]

12. Thanks - that was one petition I didn't know about. Signed it now.

[Nyan]

8. I'm not.

He had to go head-to-head with him at one point anyway. It's better to be there with him to call out bullshit than let him sit there alone and spew bullshit with no one interrupting him.

[BigBearJohn]

10. should be quite a confrontation..looking forward to it

GO BERNIE!!!!!

[BigBearJohn]

13. JUST HEARD THAT BERNIE WILL BE ON THE **WHOLE** HOUR WITH TWEETY

[in_cog_ni_to]

14. I hope Bernie is careful. Matthews has sinister reasons for having him on. You can't bet it won't be

Softball interview like he does with Clinton. Matthews isn't to be trusted!

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

[jillan]

15. I completely agree. He will try to get into Bernie's head. Let's not forget

that Matthews had that tingle going up his leg when Capehart was saying "that's not Bernie". Matthews was orgasmic over that story. Ewww - sorry for the visual. lol.

[restorefreedom]

16. my eyes!!!! lol nt

[mak3cats]

17. My eyes are OK, it's my stomach...

[restorefreedom]

19. yeah, that too. nt

[mak3cats]

18. I'll watch with you...

...even if I have to chain myself to the couch. (Did I say I hate TV?)

[Rebkeh]

20. I'm pretty sure Bernie can handle him

I won't watch because I don't have msnbc anymore, but I would just for this.
