Remember the good ol' days of pre-election 2006 when Matthews was the darling of the Robot Right for consistently passing White House TP's directly through his brain to his mouth without interference from a single stem cell? *sigh* Those were the days, eh? [/fake nostalgia] While I don't disagree that Republicans fear, loathe, and despise criticism, I think a sizable chink of what's goosing them to heights of the kind of hysteria your quotes suggest is a recognition that the pendulum and the momentum behind it are swinging in the other direction and that Matthews' about-face shows, media whore that he is, just how far in the opposite direction it's swung. They've lost all the battles, they're about to lose the war, and Matthews, as is his wont, switched sides in a desperate attempt to keep his pundit-position intact. He is, therefore, a TRAITOR. I predict there will be a lot more of this as the writing on the wall becomes clearer, and that the RWNM will become increasingly shrill and nasty with every defection from the TB ranks. I further predict that Malkin herself will be one of the earliest of the Hard-Right Hysterics to jump ship. YHIHF. Golly.
