| Something called Ramallah Online just gave out its Bigot of the Year. LGF didn’t get it, Professor Reynolds didn’t get it, and this award is such a joke that Rantburg didn’t even get a vote. They gave it to Chris Matthews of MSNBC and for stark raving lunacy and shrieking hysteria, this piece has to be read to be believed. This will give you an idea: I don’t believe that a bigot like Mathews can be a patriotic American. He is a white supremacist to the core. Loving America is not just about worshiping the power of its airforce or the skills of Special Forces. It is about caring about other Americans, especially when they are vunerable. As a community, in these most trying of times, we have been embraced by the common decency of the average American, the unsung heros, our neighbors, our friends and our co-workers. They understand that being patriotic means loving all the people of our country, not just the ones that share their ethnicity. Mathews grew up in a wierd time and place and will go to his grave a miserable hater without a kind word for anybody that wouldn’t have passed musster with his idol, Father Coughlin. His loyalty is not to his country, but to his pigmentation and his Philadelphean ways. Yeah, can’t trust those Philly guys as far as you can throw a cheesesteak. And I’ve never heard anybody called this before: So, in recognition of this vile pile of worm waste, we declare Mathews the NileMedia Bigot Of The Year for 2001. Yes, by all means. Give these people their own country. |

| #10 I used to like Chris Matthews. I used to watch him during Mr. Bill's Monica crisis, and Matthews cut His Excellency no slack at all. Geraldo was on the same channel - I think it was CNBC - and I always got the impression he'd have traded places with Monica if asked. So was the guy who looks like a poor embalming job... Charles Grodin. (Took awhile for his name to come to me). That was before Fox News, of course. In a world with no O'Reilly and no Hannity and no Fox and Friends, Matthews was pretty much it. |

| #9 CS, what are you smokin', cause I'd like some. I loathe Chris Matthews and if I can stomach his show, I spend half the time yelling at him to shut up! Mr. Tardball is a DNC shill with all the usual apologist views and therefore the best friend the Paleostinian cause has on TV. Ramallah Online should rethink their award. (Could it be that they were really aiming for former MSNBC host Alan Keyes, who called the Paleo situation like he saw it, i.e. a total crime and a fraud?) |

| #8 1) "Philadelphian ways" could also be referring to Tom Hanks/Denzel Washington Philadelphia Aids/Gay movie.I assume the committee is implying Mathews supports gay rights and in their eyes that is bad thing-altho they could be implying Mathews is like the firm that opposed Hanks' character and is thus bigoted(but I doubt it). 2)The folks at Ramallah online went to Eagles game and were booed,making them bitter. 3)They are communists at heart and still haven't gotten over the Flyers whipping the Soviet hockey team. 4)Bad cheesesteak does leave an impression. 5)Ben Franklin "discovered" electricity while living in Philadelphia,and any good turn-back-the-clock Muslim hates modern technology. |

| #7 His loyalty is not to his country, but to his pigmentation and his Philadelphean ways. So he's a white, drunken, foul-mouthed Eagles fan? |

| #5 Kind of a dated award and this guy sounds like a flaming commie. I love Chris Mathews and it's one of the few programs I watch on MSNBC. |

| #4 his Philadelphean ways. Think "City of Brotherly Love"... |

| #3 his Philadelphean ways. Clearly a reference to the 1959 Paul Newman movie The Young Philadelphians, which he did immediately before he appeared in Exodus... (best I can come up, shrugging shoulders). Although the enclosing webpage appears current, I think the article itself is from Jan 2002 (near as I can tell from the context)... |

| #2 When you adjust for the language differences, it's overall a very flattering piece. |
