Lori Ziganto is a blogger writing on the American scene who is acquiring a large following. Her biting essay on Chris Matthews (cough) documentary this week impressed Eric Erickson on Redstate enough to feature it this week.
After watching the documentary, despite the sarcastic tone, My initial impression was that Lori pretty well nailed it.
So what do yall think?

Chris Matthews The Rise of The New Right: Deceptions and Delusions

Last night, MSNBC aired a Chris Matthews special, labeled a documentary, called The Rise of the New Right. I decided to take a quick break from my radical right wing extremist acts like bitterly clinging to my guns and my Bible, whilst fiendishly drawing Hitler moustaches on Obama photos, to watch it. I know. Apparently, Im a glutton for punishment. However, while absolutely infuriating, it was simultaneously hilarious and almost took my mind off the distressing shortage of windmills in this country.
Almost immediately, two things became rather apparent. Firstly, MSNBCs NewSpeak definition of documentary is evidently blatant fallacies and pure propaganda. Secondly, its quite clear that Chris Matthews leg tingle has moved into his brain, or what passes for some semblance of one. Either that, or hes merely decided to embrace his cuckoo pants. Plus, hes a big, fat liar. I feel no qualms about saying that, since Matthews spent a full hour demonizing me and people like me as violent, irrational racists. In fact, the entire show could be summed up like this:
Racists. Birthers. Guns! Evil scary militia groups that have the same Dont Tread on Me flag!!! Chanting USA, USA and being fond of the Constitution and, you know, liberty is super scary and ominous. Also, racist. And violence fomenting. Plus, racist.
You see, now Community Organizing is evil and dissent is no longer Patriotic. Instead, that now signifies some sort of marauding mob of nefarious radicals who are doubleplusungood. President Obama said I want you to talk to your friends and neighbors; I want you to argue with them and get in their faces , but that was okay because George Bush. Or something.
Its not okay when the right peaceably assembles, voicing opinions articulately, in full and coherent sentences and using facts and rational thought, because we arent supposed to even know how to read! Plus, we dont base things on feel-goody Utopian ideas of kitten whiskers, fairy dust and magical windmills. We sneaky right wing-nuts embrace real world ideas like individual success is a good thing and that people do not need the government to run every aspect of their lives and businesses. Oh, the horror.
It must be horrifying, as the entire show was scored with super spooky music. A video clip of Ronald Reagan? Cue ominous horror movie music! A Sarah Palin segment? Dun dun dunnnn. Matthews, of course, portrayed Sarah Palin as a dum-dum failed candidate, yet also somehow ominous and fiendish, accusing her of putting those who voted for Obamacare in the cross-hairs. Get it? Shes totally fomenting violence. From her facebook page.
