This is the most awesome thing I’ve seen on MSNBC in quite a while. Rep. Joe Walsh was on the offense with Matthews from the start. He refused to allow Matthews to characterize the bill the way he wanted to while ignoring Obama spending spree that brought us here. He challenged Matthews on every point allowing him to get away with nothing.

What’s interesting is that Matthews continues to press Walsh on why the bill doesn’t have specific cuts even though Walsh clearly said early on that the 110 Billion in non-defense discretionary spending is flexible for the Senate. So it’s a general number now to be negotiated on by both Houses. Not to hard to figure out. But then after all this Matthews goes on to defend Obama’s non-plan as if it’s an actual plan and it’s going to save the country! How partisan can you get! He even accuses the Republicans of being obstructionists through this whole process! ALL HAIL OBAMA!

Also notice near the end the absurd question that Matthews asks Walsh, if he will resign if they have a crisis after August 2nd. It’s absurd because it completely ignores any culpability whatsoever from Obama and the Democrats while it’s Obama who brought us to this point!

Otherwise this is truly epic. Enjoy!

Too bad this guy doesn't have the guts to support his own children...How's that about fiscal responsibility again?

Typical teabagger. Typical republican...

I forced myself to watch this only because Rep. Joe Walsh was in it. Otherwise I would rather vomit than to watch dunba&* lying Mathews. As I see it Joe Walsh is one of the few restoring some honor to Illinois.

Unpleasant-like a verbal colonoscopy.

One of the cool things about this was the echo of Joe Walsh's words...echoing through the halls behind him.

Very symbolic, as his words resonate with so many of us.

Great job, Joe Walsh!

We need more fighters like you.

JOe Walsh-one of my favourite singers and now, one of my favourite politicians.

Guess he didn't send a tingle up Matthew's leg like the Dictator-in Chief does. Good on Joe for calling him out and throwing that tinglething right back at him......

At times when Chrissy M kept looking down it seemed as if he he was going to cry. Facts are hard to overcome for Chrissy. Loved it when joe walsh stuck the 'thrill up the leg' dig in as well. Sweet.

The new tingle down Chris Mathews leg is piss because Walsh just called him on his BS.

You can't be civil with these guys. We have to learn to get down into the gutter at times and not take sh*t. We have to expose these idiots for trying to turn on us what they actually do.

LOVED THIS! At the end, Tingles is like a little child staring at the floor while getting his lecture from a very angry father. Reminded me of "The Beaver" Matthews and his father, "Ward" Walsh.

That was awesome. Every time, he came back with what Obama or the Democrats were doing. Where's their plan, Chris?

Matthews has met his match - Chris can't handle the truth

Joe Walsh is COOL!

I can see Walsh in the White House someday

When Matthews says "i'm not going anywhere with this" that means he is losing in the argument

I hope this guy takes on, and defeats Mark Kirk- Walsh is a pit bull and so far he's impressed me far beyond my expectations of an IL politician.

Joe Walsh understands what Brietbart and Coulter have been preaching and doing for a long time. You have to be willing to go into the belly of the beast and have the courage of your convictions to expose them for who they are.
