Wingnut Alert! Hardball hearts Mark Williams: Updated
By John Amato Thursday Aug 16, 2007 3:15pm
I've posted on this D level conservative screecher a while ago---a guy that makes Glenn Beck look...kinda normal, but I'm still trying to understand Hardball's rationale for giving him a platform. How does a spew-master who attacks NOLA victims still have a job in broadcasting? He once emailed around saying that I was inciting violence against his dog...Yea, seriously...

Matthews had to try and calm him down after he couldn't control himself... I guess...in a way they are doing us a favor by showing people how revolting talkers like Melanie Morgan and Williams are, (MAF members) but that is a small benefit when all things are considered... If you just act crazy as a conservative pundit---you will be given a platform by cable news and radio...Here's his email....Be polite...
It's much worst than I thought...Check out this report from the SacBee:
The Channel 13 morning show, which already has a provocative voice in anchor Chris Burrous, continues to push the envelope when it comes to local morning TV news.
Former KFBK conservative talker Mark Williams (pictured) will give his views on politics and social issues every other Monday at 6 a.m. He starts Aug. 20...read on
Update: He'll be on KOVR. www.kovr.com. I believe the general manager is Bruno Cohen, the vice president of news. News director is Steve Charlier. You may want to try bcohen@kovr.com and/or scharlier@kovr.com

hmmm... my college roommate was almost date raped by a "Mark Williams"... and years later, I knew a "Mark Williams", a Mensa Chicago member who bragged about stealing cable and was upset that I didn't think that was ethical....
Is it the name? Is it like the mass killer with "Wayne" as a middle name phenomenon?
ick. (Actually, since my roomie and I are now in our mid (late) forties -- this crazy Hardball Mark Williams might be the same date rapist jerk... I'll have to send her the link and find out!)
I saw this piece...blah blah blah...Democrats...blah blah...weak on war...blah blah blah...undermining the troops...blah blah blah...reporting to the Congress on military actions aids the terrorists...blah blah blah...FRIIIIIST.
Well, his head's almost big enough to fill Tweety's shoes (metaphorically). I wonder if it's a tryout.
He sure gets excited. I hope he doesn't burst a blood vessel. That would be unfortunate.
Yeah, such an intelligent debate... when he calls Nancy Pelosi, "Nancy Botox" now that's mature, ain't it? Really furthers his cause. Sheesh. Where DID they dig him up? Getting harder to still find Bush Supporters, is it?
There's one in every market. For every three hours this jerk is on the airwaves there should be three hours of exactly the opposite from the left.
Silly me, I have degrees in business, political science and paralegal.
And they get these guys from the Stockyard auction.
Wow. Simply wow.
Fairness Doctrine @ 6:
And we wonder why the 20%ers are the way they are. Listen to this nonsense for 3+ hours per day and see what happens to your brain.
To paraphrase Mary Matalin..."Think of the braincells!!"
This Williams fellow is quite irrational. I feel sorry for his family.
Waddya bet when Mark Williams is not on the air yammering about Nancy Botox, he's leaving comments on the C&L site on our need to be civil in our discourse?
LibertyLover @ 5:
At least when he made the "Botox" remark, Matthews cut him off and said something like "That doesn't help me." In context it made Williams look like delinquent child that had to be reprimanded. Pretty cool for Matthews.
Detox from Fox: Starve The Beast
Why is anyone surprised by this--you were watching Hardball. A friend of mine told me about this today and she said that Matthews said that this clown was an old friend of his.
This is vintage Matthews--it just shows, that he may be making a lot of money now, but he will never have good manners or judgment--one can tell by the company one keeps.
Stop watching him, his ratings dry up, and voila, he's gone.
Angry, defensive, batshit crazy. And those are his good points.

ysbaddaden @ 11:
I would bet that he's drinking himself stupid to avoid having to face up to what an asshole he is.
The really sad thing is that the wingnuttery isn't even good tv anymore.
The same old tired lines, same old rhetoric. The right wing needs new bullshit.
This is sure to be the next big thing among local TV stations. Staking out a position in the political spectrum. I can hear it now...KBLAT We're conservative & proud. Market by market a whole bunch of little FOXES. We need the Fairness Doctrine....seriously.
Mark @ News Corpse @ 12:
Good point. I WAS happy to see Matthews do that, but still, when did it become OK to marginalize people on their appearance on a National Forum? When Nixon began sweating on the TEEVEE?

Imagine what his spouse must be on! LOLOLOL!
The spin doctors are out and they're letting us know that Army Gen. David H. Petraeus can't spin the story fast enough to make us delusional. They need to take matters into their own hands, so Gen. Petraeus leave your report on Gates desk for doctoring. When will America realize how wrong things have gone ---------> http://www.youpolls.com/details.asp?pid=343

Williams is even more idiotic than that clip demonstrates. His evening show on KFBK 1530-AM (the Clear Channel toxic dump that gave Rush Limbaugh his start in Sacramento) was a landmine of logic-free wingnut vitriolic spew and hatejabber, which could be entertaining, like when he encouraged SUV drivers to run over bicyclists, but you always felt like you needed a shower afterward. Williams, aka "Adolf Chipmunk," proved to be too nutty even for Clear Channel, which fired his authoritarian government-loving ass after advertisers started getting some heat from pissed-off locals. So then he started some bozo group called "Move America Forward," aka "Make Amerika Fascist," with Melanie Morgan, his San Francisco counterpart who's at least as insane as Williams. The crime isn't that people as nutty as this can spout their opinions, but that the corporate media gives these imbeciles a soapbox to spew their hateful views without offering equal access to people with more reasonable points of view. Screw Tweety for putting this moron on the air.
the only places to watch, concerning politics is keith olbermann and the comedy channel, anywhere else is a total waste of time.
It's only by getting someone crazier than a loon to make a loon look sane, but a loon's a loon...
A loon again...naturally.

What?
I got about 30 seconds into it and had to stop it. This guy is like a republican talking points Chatty Cathy, just pull the string. Put this guy on a bus and drop him off in downtown Fallujah.
Is he Sean Hannity's daddy? I see a resemblance.
Jokes aside...what a piece of shit!

Am I the only one who can't download this video?
Boston? Chris Mathews is from Pennsylvania, and just about everywhere else other than Boston. This guy can't even get the facts straight when he's trying to tell the truth. "Plucking the pennies off of the eyelids of the newly dead."???? Does Dennis Miller know this guy is trying to steal his material or style?

Does anyone know if Mark Williams ever served in the military?

He uses the Rhythm Method.
If all white couples used the Rhythm Method, there'd be more white kids, since we all know white people have no rhythm.
Guy is lying about his dog. Any self-respecting dog would bite this AssClown.
Damn, they both give my hometown (Boston) a black eye, bloody nose, and inflamed hemorrhoids. And now I'm in SF, which is fortunately upwind from Sacramento.
It's a shame the 1/2-hour New Hour show is getting canned - Mark Williams would have been a great addition to their team.
It's good that Mathews has nutballs like this guy on his show. Everyone, including the rational people on the Right, gets a sample of how crazy far right wingnuts actually are.
This is very upsetting because I live in Sacramento. I have never watched the channel 13 morning show and I do not listen to the local Reich wing radio station KFBK. The upsetting part is that channel 13 is the local CBS affiliate, CBS carries the NFL, David Letterman, CSI, CSI NY, (I don't care fore CSI Miami), 2 and 1/2 Men, and Numbers. It is going to be hard to boycott all of these shows but RIGHT IS RIGHT.

My god- did that man just argue that we should be emulating the Nazis and imperial Japan?
Oh, God. The time I spent watching that is gone forever. Damn.
When the Rethug. ignorant and dumb bastards don't have a clue what the hell they are talking about they yell, scream and always make total ASSES of themselves.

I like your nom de' guerre.
When I was a kid some tied only firecrackers to cat tails.
Not me though, I was learning my 10 Commandments
From MAD magazine.
Wiki says that Matthews was born in Philly. Atrios must be thrilled.
Maybe the Boston reference comes from his years with Tip O'Neill.
So, the Boston Police Department does not protect their citizens? I mean that is the only thing I really heard.
Cat Atomic @ 43:
Pretty much.
Stewart says it best. As someone who opposed this war from the beginning, why should I not be angry that we were (at best) led by incompetents with rose colored glasses on who believed what they wanted to about intelligence to start the war and arrogantly made every possible blunder in executing the war "plan" without any plan for the eventual occupation of this country. (At worst) They lied to us and ignored every opportunity to get it right all along.
Finally, sychophants like this guy Williams call us who were right all along about this fiasco cowards and traitors ...and they get a voice on national TV!! It's absolutely infuriating. And you're right, John Amato, the only solace we can take is that loudmouths like Williams manage to expose themselves for the "Pukes" they are by making fools out of themselves on shows like this.
a guy @ 50:
I prefer calling them asshats. Has a nice ring to it.
it's not enough, or maybe even the right thing, to email williams. matthews is the one who needs to get it into his head that he debases the politics in this country when he has on williams, coulter, et al. there have to be, there must be, some principled, reasoned conservative voices. it's not about shushing them if they say something outlandish, it's about not having them on to begin with.
email the show hardball@msnbc.com -- be nice but be clear that these kinds of people are what's wrong with political discourse.
the blog is here http://hardblogger.msnbc.msn.com/ if he posts related to a segment that one of these guests was on, add a comment (be nice) that
the sponsor awareness movement is also a great way to go.
I wish CNBC would slot the Countdown program immediately in front of Hardball. This would probably not decrease the number of people watching Hardball, but I could go to bed a bit earlier.
Hitler won.

Next up on Olbermann's World's worse. I don't think there's that many that can top what's dripping out of dick. And I could only stand listening up to the "stealing pennies" crap.
Hacks like this just won't stop hurting America.
The only time I ever hear this kind of shit on the radio is late at night, driving in the boonies. Flip the dial, and it's wall-to-wall fascist crackpot weirdness from south of the border.
Makes me damned glad to be Canadian.
Is the rightwing? Is this is? This fat necked loud mouth ignoramus. Maybe matthews is trying make the right look bad? Maybe im giving him too much credit.
A.Citizen @ 38:
lol
Poor Mark Williams must be upset that the Josef Goebbels of the Bush administration, Karl Rove, is retiring.
He won't be around to dehumanize enemies and bring on more war.
-GSD
Does he scatter like the others when you turn on the kitchen light?
i'm inclined to allow these fools as much as access to the public mass media as possible. i would think that it would not take too long before most good and decent folks will get sick and tired of this noise, the lies and delusions, the hate and the national socialist chauvinism...
folks, we will have war as long as we go around kicking sand in people's faces...
new rule: those who want to go to war will be the first ones in the theater of operations regardless of celebrity, job here, wealth, sex, age, or anything else. simple question: you want to fight those people over there? fine, here's your transportation, here's your weapon, and do have fun...
Liberal AND Proud @ 51:
Agreed. Point taken
What hillbilly gene pool do all these Repug. lunatics come from?
mark williams is a complete whack-a-doodle
is this the state of the reichwing? is this their A team? williams was just about frothing. for a second, for but a brief flash, i wished hackett was "debating" melanie morgan. at least her illogical tirades are.... well, hmmm, i'm not sure where i was going with that.
todays GOP: pathetically unhinged
[sidenote: despite my previous, misplaced disappointment i am very glad that sherrod brown ran for the senate versus hackett]
I just e-mailed: mayor@cityofboston.gov and told him how Mark Williams feels about his police. The rest of you might want to do the same.
We have to sit through one after another of these theofascist freaks on ALL channels including Cspan and where might I ask is say...oh, just to name one... ROBERT PARRY!!!
Joe Conason is rare as hen's teeth also but most of the wingnuts are afraid to face him - Ann Coulter refuses to go on with him because he'd rip her BS to peices and Coulter knows it. Tweety used to have Amy Goodman on once in a while, I guess the war mongers who run NBC didn't like her intelligence and honesty.
John, thanks for making a stink about this but how about starting a program to push for people like Parry to be on TV? Go on the offense, see if they will say why they don't have some on and others they do. Maybe some people on the left don't want to be. I think Gene Lyons sees it as a pain in the arse. But I am sure we could come up with a list of people who need to be promoted for these shows.
"they can't fire their gun at the enemy without running it past department of justice lawyers"? What form of brain damage makes someone think like this???
A Russ Limbaugh Special
To be as extreme as Mark Williams, you have to go to a special school. The first rule in this school is to be as loud as you can, so you can drown out the opposition's comments. In this school, you must be arrogant and assume everyone knows you are right. In an unofficial setting, you have to throw away the book of rules altogether and switch to raw intimidation. This school does not devote any time to building self-esteem but does dispense Oxy Cotton to make you feel strong and all powerful. This is the school of Russ Limbaugh,and it seems Williams has an "A" average.

My bad, I meant he's drinking himself stupid on Citrucel.
How do you debate or discuss a subject with a person who spews nothing but lies? That for me is always the hardest part of trying to talk sense to the whackos; there is no common ground to start from.
This country is like a totally broken marriage. Neither side will ever concede anything, no matter how minor, to the other side. I really don't see how we can fix this relationship as I don't see the right-wingers ever repenting.
bncthor @ 53:
I wish CNBC would simply cancel Chris Matthews & Hardball. Their network's saving grace is Keith Obermanm. Matthews has become a complete crackpot & gives Catholics and the Irish a horrid example. Memo to Dem candidates: boycott Matthews altogether as we all should be boycotting FOX.
To answer Van:
No, Mark never served in the military. He's just another bootlicker who fawns all over a military he never bothered to join. It's okay if there's a war as long as Williams doesn't have to fight in it. He's all for other people fighting and dying for his right to be a complete ass.
What a spoon? He believe that our soldiers have to get a requisition for from a judge before firing each round of ammo?
Does he really believe this? I think he does. I think he is that stupid.
On the oxycotin theme, anyone else thing that Colbert is digging Rush Limbaugh on that with his new pill habit?
Smack_dab @ 72:
you don't and you can't debate or discuss anything under those circumstances. what's more? they know that. any attempt to enter into reconciliation is seen as a sign of weakness or cowardice and is called out as such. jesus would be such a loser as far as these guys would be concerned...
the greatest challenge for the democratic party in 2008 will be learning how to deal with bullies without assuming that role themselves. the reason the democrats have no meaningful and inspiring message is that they are struggling to understand how they can express an idea without also becoming a target of twisting ridicule and deceit...
one thing the republican neocons became masterful at? swiftboating good and decent people and ideas. they are among history's most accomplished crooks and liars...
Actually, don't debate them. Just start arguing there side and start bringing up dumber and dumber arguments. It can take a while before they catch on, but if you string things together properly, you can get them to agree to some pretty whacky stuff.
Remember when we had to invade Iraq because Saddam Hussien flew those airliners into the Empire State building?
Don't forget also to challenge them now and then by asking them if they are calling one of their heroes a liar. If they talk about winning the war for instance, accuse them of calling Bush a liar, because he told us in no uncertain terms he doesn't not intend to win the war.
When they protest, act offended and say, "You are calling Bush a liar!"
I just wrote an email to this moron.
He needs to know that we are demanding the truth from this administration.
He even admits that the WH will sugar coat the report.
We need to put a stop to having these fanatics on the television.
We should let shows like Hardball know that the likes of Mark Williams is not welcome on our televisions any longer.
His type of hate rhetoric is not what America needs to hear.
Pen to paper, fingers to keyboards, voices to phones, let us be heard.
Bah, 'does not intend to win the war'.
Except for Baron Von Munchhousen (sp.?) in a film by Terry Gilliam, I'm sure no war (occupation) has ever been won by BELIEVING you have won or are winning.
As far as I'm concerned the White House report on the war is as valid as submitting "My Pet Goat" to explain our horrendous actions in Iraq.
The troops are tired. They have done all they can do given the inappropriate planning by this administration and it's time to bring them home. Blaming this observation on the democrats in congress is like blaming my Multiple
Sclerosis on the Bush administration. I did start to get sick just after he was elected, so it must be his fault, never mind the symptoms going back 20 years.
Mr. Williams and the like really need to read that funny document available by a simple Google search called the Constitution. In it they will find that, indeed, the Congress does have the power and the right to demand accountability. Really, it's true.
I didn't find any biographical information about this twit. He seems to be a typical chickenhawk Rethuglican. Did he serve? He looks queerer than a three-dollar bill(no criticism intended about that, but he being an upright Rethuglican I wonder if there isn't some hypocrisy), but maybe he is straight married and has a family.
I've seen this clown before...who cares what he says...He has no creditability at all...He's a boot licker for the Bush Administration.
Republican Success is not measured by benchmarks, but by feelings and self esteem. If you feel like a winner, then you are a winner. In fact everyone that agree with Bush is a winner. That’s why the guys that screwed up Iraq all got Medals of Honor. Its like giving out trophies at a little league baseball game, just for showing up.
If more soldiers die, it is proof we are winning.
If less soldiers die, it is proof we are winning.
If a major US city is nuked, it will prove that Bush is protecting us from terrorism.If a major US city is not nuked, it will prove that Bush is protecting us from terrorism.
If the Green Zone gets nuked, well it will just show how desperate the enemy is, and prove that we are winning.
Hundreds of years from now, we will still be winning in Iraq. The only way we can lose, is to leave.
Winning = eternal war.
Because if someone wins, then someone has to lose. And that is unhealthy and un-Republican. It can harm someone’s self esteem. And self esteem is really important. So in Iraq nobody wins or loses. We just pass out trophies and medals until the end of time.
So, this POS reich-wing wants to compare America to a defeated WWII Japan and Germany...how typical.
more to the point, who exactly would be fooled if the report painted us as "ten-feet tall", etc.? would the resistance fade away because of a glowing report to the U.S. Congress? does Williams really believe no-one sees through to his desire to lie to the public? Mathews correctly calls it public relations, but doesn't get to the issue of who the p.r. is for. it ain't anyone in Iraq, that's for sure.
douche. when war goes bad, blame the people who are against it already. i cant believe this passes as political commentary. i can yell pretty loud too, someone give me a job on TV.
Damn.I sure would have liked to hear what Paul Hackett had to say rather than listening tor the raging jerk Mark Williams.Anyone know where I could get the link?
I sent this idiot a comment through his website.
Here is the message you get when you hit "submit."
Thank you for your comments. Mark apprciates hearing from his listners.(sic)
No Democrat EVER said to a soldier "You can't Fire your weapon" to protect yourself or your fellow soldiers in the field from being attacked.
That is completely elephant shit that this Williams guy just pulled directly out of his butt.
What a lunatic.
Check out this ass clown's blog...
http://www.marktalk.com
Just watched todays Hardball and Melanie Morgan only confirms what thinking Americans (now a majority in this country thanks to GWB and gang, who have force fed reality down everyones throat) think about these neo-fascists.
Today Melanie sounded as ridiculous as ever when she and Matthews discussed Cheney's talk in 1994 on why we didnt invade Iraq. Matthews disgust was boiling over in response to this shrill fear monger who lives in her own world.
These people are sickening and should be featured, they only drive more Amercans away from the GOP.
Talk, please, continue talking. A majority have fully realized you are full of shit.
Everytime one of this nutjobs opens his or her mouth, another Democrat is born
So... the people who were against this lunatic occupation to begin with; the people who were right about where it would lead-- the people who were openly mocked by chickenhawks like Mark Williams... THESE are the people to blame for the war's outcome?
It must really hurt to be a Conservative these days.
Has "What a dick!!!!" been used yet??

gB @ 97:
I am insulted and offended by the comment.
I have a very close friend who is a dick. He's not very bright and he's hella ugly, but he's nothing like Mark Williams.
Wow! What an asshat.
Mark Williams has a slightly above average IQ and a very well developed TQ (Thug Quotient). He fits in so well with the likes of Billy O'Reilly, Rush, Karl, Dick, Don, SkelleCoulter and William the Bloody. I think this hot head should volunteer to go patrol Bagdad in a Humvee with the above crew. He isn't gonna though, for the same reason they ain't gonna: because he is Another Chicken Hawk just like the rest of them hypocrits know as The Neo-Cons.
His attack on Pelosi was unprovoked, cruel, gruesome, and utterly unrelated to the matter at hand. His welcome should be revoked.
Speaking of his similarity to Melanie Morgan, did you see her tonight? She faced an articulate opponenet and repeatedly resorted to name-calling, red herrings, straw men, and bile. She was utterly unable to provide the conservative view in a comprehensive or defensible way.
Craig Crawford had to make her case for her!
I like that these nuts are on. They are hateful and patently so. It's beautiful. They can only afford to be so shrill for so long.
How can you be nice when speaking to a moron such as this clown? I emailed him and was as polite as my former Marine and Irish temper would allow me to be. There have been a few occassions where I have actually agreed with Chris Matthews, this was one of those rare times. Maybe he is starting to wake up. (nah) This guy is a toad. Petraeus needs to give this report himself. If he is able to do this and still gives a rosey assessment of what is going on then we will have confirmation that he is just worried about getting canned as so many before him who spoke truth to power have been. My son will be headed back in September. I would love to hear that the Iraqi's are all laying down their arms and are going to cooperate and that the government is going to reconcile it's differences. That will only happen with a white house appraisal. I hope that Petraeus has the balls to tell it like it is as he claimed he would do. I just don't see that happening. You have to give Matthews credit for at least showing some balls and not letting this nut get away with some of what he was saying.
Raving lunatic? Baby? Raving lunatic that eats babies?
Geez, flush this guy. I'm glad that Tweety gave him time to rave, and looked vaguely embarassed doing it, and that Paul politely let that windbag run his mouth.
armyvet @ 99:
Wow. Just wow. I guess whatever you have to do to pay the rent...
“they can’t fire their gun at the enemy without running it past department of justice lawyers”
Are there even that many lawyers left at the Justice Department?
Rusty Shackleford @ 18:
That sounds about right. Nancy Botox? What is he 10?
Williams is an angry bigot and partisan hack. After his tirades on Katrina, he shouldn't have a job, but the media winked at his invective against war protesters. All he's got to sell is misdirected, irrational rage.
I really like this Williams speak.
He is like an executive who talks sports analogies using the word, "WE ", as often as he can when things need to get done.
But when it comes to actually participating or something goes wrong, its " YOU ".
Its all in they way one uses the English language.
And if I could take a moment to hail down Bill O Rielly's bloggers police.
Hey Bill O Rielly !!!!!!!!
Aren't you going to attack Chris Matthews for having the venomous Williams on and bad mouthing the -Speaker of the House of Representatives of the United States of America....!!!!!!!
Bill O, isn't Chris responsible for what Williams said and be held accountable? Bill your looking out for who?
O'Rielly,
I know your FOX Brown shirts are reading this.
How hateful of the right. Bill,
Do you and this Williams drink the Bush Kool Aid from the same glass ?????
Ripping off faces with piano wire???
Really??
What an asshat,...!
Wingnuts get so much air time because they are the collective, pathological voice of the people who run the country and their lesser goose steppers, and that is matter or grave concern.
In other Wingnut News, Brittany Spears, who once said in an interview about the Iraq war ". . . we need to support the president," now has a romantic relationship with her personal assistant.
I tell ya, those Bush supporters, supposively the "family value" political party really live up to their name. Bush and Spears are about on the same plane intellectually anyway.
And how many marriages have this group gone through? And how many of them are closet homosexuals. I read an interview in the Post about two die-hard Bush supporters. Part of that 29% we keep hearing about. Anyway, there is this man and woman. Not romantically involved, but together own a popular Crab shack in Maryland. He has been married 3 times and she has been married once. 4 marriages between them.
That hard-ass conservative way of thinking just can't seem to cut in a marriage can it? Just like all those other failed marriages within the 2008 candidates.
Mark Williams:
No, Petraeus won't discuss those things in front of the terrorists. Instead, we'll have the admin discusses those things in front of the terrorists. Only, they won't give an honest assessment, so we don't give anything away to the terrorists.
Honestly, these wingnuts are permanent residents of LaLa Land.
Martin Prince's stunt double needs to quit giving these authoritarian cultists airtime. Matthews will do anything to get "street cred" from rightie talk hosts and bloggers
dems and gop circle jerk in the smoke filled room and go out in one voice and murder millions so our women are not forced to wear burkas
Well, Crooks & Liars wins the traffic generation derby. But, I've gotta tell you that it's a pretty low-brow demographic. Daily Kos & Media Matters both gave me the same treatment but the visitors to my site that they generate actually argue points with me. In fact, I answer as many of them as I can because they more often than not include a point. It is not uncommon for one of them to bring up a very good point and requires me to think through my answer. Over the years they have even on occasion even caused me to go back to the drawing board and go back over my own research. That has even been known to cause me to look at things differently and even "gasp" have to adjust my own thinking! They also frequently download my radio show and / or read my blog and find additional points of disagreement, which I happily discuss with them to the point of even giving them print and / or on-air credit for their contribution.
Crooks & Liars on the other hand just sends me thoughtless morons who go straight to the contact link and just type random four-letter words, the occasional death threat and wishes that somebody close to me dies of cancer... that sort of thing.
Media Matters and Daily Kos are a much better neighborhood in terms of quality of not only the response that I get but in the discussions on their comment boards too. Just the same, I am very glad that you are here and that you are doing all that you can to assist MarkTalk LLC in getting the word out... thanks too for the plug for my new local TV gig! They brought me on because I attract attention and create a buzz. My first show with them is this Monday morning (I'll be on CBS 13 Early News from 6-8 AM) and thanks mostly to you I walk in the door amidst a flurry of attention and controversy.
See, you people don't just provide homes for wayward fleas after all - although you may want to instruct folks on how to use their spell checker, pretty pathetic when simple words with no more than 4 letters are misspelled.
Anyhow, things are dying down today. Everybody who clicked on the contact link you provided has been added to my mailing list - we have some awesome software that even recognizes spoof headers and locates the real email address. So as MarkTalk LLC and MarkTalk.com continue to grow you will all be getting notifications and newsletters right along with my other fans. You are low rent but nobody ever went broke going after the dumbest among us now did they.

I agree, redcat.
Even though tweety allowed that asshole on his program, he did try to rein him in somewhat. Sometimes, tweety pleasantly surprises me. But, as one of my daughters puts it; even a blind squirrel gets a nut once in a while. lol
It is quite an accomplishment to make Tweety sound like a rational political thinker. One thing the liberal side has going for it is the right wing seems to never learn that ad hominem attacks only weakens their arguments.
It is one thing for me to go onto a blog and vent my spleen at George W Bush (calling him King George) but I am not claiming to be a political pundit. I do not care if the wing nuts want to go on their blogs and rant and rave. I would rather have them doing that than going out an buying arms and plotting the overthrow of the country. However, when you go on the national media and claim to be an expert on Iraq and how to win the war higher standards are called for. Name calling and personal attacks are out of line.
I see Mark Williams or one of his fan kids is also deluded enough into thinking he can trace the internets - through psychic (or perhaps another word comes to mind) mind tricks - to know the genesis of each one of his commenters. He may do better to just ask them. And best yet, learn how to read. He may find that the misspelled four letter words predominantly come from his own demographic.
And as for getting his point across, perhaps Mr. Williams should just stick to waving his arms around, bugging his eyes out a little more, and grunting more angrily and incoherently in that ranting Orangutan fashion of his.
Matthews had this look of "I can't believe I have to deal with this guy."
I wish I lived in the same neighborhood as Williams. I'd always stop by and mess with his head. That's it! We all need to plan a tour of the country going to where the biggest conservative idiots live. We'll then take turns engaging them in casual conversations for fun. Oh, sorry forgot I have a job. Shucks.
Tweety was quite good here. This other guy is an asshole. I feel very sorry for his kids, if he has any. They'll be at the psychiatrist lifelong, cuz their asshole dad fucked their heads, but good, for life.
Mark Williams @ 117:
Well looked what the cat dragged in and start stinking up the place. Yo Puke Williams, since your firings in Albany on WGY when you called Arab people 'towel heads' and got served because of it and in Sacarmento your 'racist rant about Kanye West supposed to changed you a bit. Probably not. Leopards always changed his spot, unless you're a Neo-Ass clown like Mark 'The Puke' Williams.
Pie faced Chris Mathews, makes me sick, pretending like he is angry at his guest, while he continues to present these cheap criminals on his half wit show.
He wants that kind of cheap crap presented to the public or he would have honest people on his show period.
This guy fails to mention that the people of Iraq want the US to get the hell out of their country like yesterday and as far as it goes, people all over the world are watching this republican nightmare in Iraq with total shock and discuss.
I watch CNN, MSNBC and even the Fox Noise Channel. I seen Mr. Mark Williams on other shows and he claims to be a liberal. However I think he's fallen for the strategy that Rove has put forward for the past six years. Lie, Lie and more lies the old adage tell the same lie long enough and everyone will believe it. Bush, Rove and Rumsfeld forgot we out here where the vote counts know a lie when we hear it. Apparently Mr. Williams who is a Washington insider like many of the hosts on these programs are don't understand the real truth. The Bush Lie Machine rolled over the Democrats in 2004 and I hope it rolls back over them in 2008.
OK, I didn't read the 125 comments that preceded mine, but: How can anyone take a show seriously that would allow that guy to make personal attacks like that? Nancy Botox?!?!?! This is like high-school girl cat-fight talk. In fact, that's my new theory: Republican idiots (note, not all R's are idiots) are exactly as socially developed a high schoolers. Pretty soon these shows will just be: "You're a bitch." "Oh yeah, well, you're stupid." "Well, uh, at least I'm not like, getting botox injections!" There's the next season of The Simple Life: Paris and Nicole debate the pros and cons of a long-term, large-scale military presence in Iraq." Would be about as useful...
