Chris "Tingles" Matthews shamelessly lies about unemployment under GWB

But enough whining. On Friday, MSNBC’s Chris Matthews was on HBO’s Real Time and continued his crusade to depress the unemployed by flaunting how publicly delusional one person can be while still managing to hold down a job in this economy. Via Newsbusters, Tingles directed this one toward former San Diego mayor and current conservative talk radio host Roger Hedgecock:

“When your guy left town, Dubya – who nobody asked him to come back by the way at the Republican convention – unemployment was well past ten percent and skyrocketing.”

Not unless it took Dubya a hell of a long time to leave town. The unemployment rate was 7.8 percent when Obama took office in January of 2009 and didn’t hit 10 percent until about nine months after that.

Tingles is just exercising one of the foundational traits of the libtard: never let the facts get in the way of the agenda.

You'd think that somebody, somewhere, would call him on this to his face.

Then whoever in the media did that, would have to confront their own biases

That would require BS-NBC to feature guests that are anything other than far-left goons.

They did, and got shoved by a producer. I think it took place during the RNC...

Roger Hedgecock was on the show with Matthews on Friday and he did try somewhat to challenge him.

Once in a while, Maher will have a panel of all conservatives.

ROFL thanks that was funny about Maher, your version and my version of a Conservative is two different things. I have watched his show and he might have a moderate Republican on, only to get drowned out by the other two dummies they have on.

Why would any decent person watch Maher after what he called Sarah Palin?

Right. As outspoken as noonwitch was on another thread about Limbaugh and the slut comment, it seems hypocritical to give Maher the green light.

What about it noon?
