The Story: Matthews Calls Clinton Press Shop "Lousy," "Kneecappers" (Via Huffington Post)

"What she has to do is get rid of the kneecapers that work for her, these press people whose main job seems to be punishing Obama or going after the press, to building a positive case for her," said Matthews. "Her campaign slogan right now is don’t get your hopes up. That won’t work in America. You can’t diminish Obama and hope that you will rise from the ashes."
Asked why he believed Clinton had gone negative, Matthews again struck an antagonistic chord about the campaign’s media operation.
"The kneecapping hasn’t worked. Her press relations are lousy," he said. "If all you do is intimidate and punish and claim you’ll get even relentlessly, people of all kinds of politicians — and in all fairness, the press — human reaction to intimidation is screw you. That’s the human reaction. Don’t tell me what to say, and that has been their whole policy. We’re going to win this thing. Get out of the way."
Chris Matthews is spot on with this. Hillary is now turning negative, because Obama is beating her sorry butt in the election race. Yes, she is "Pimping Out" her daughter AND her husband to get her elected. From most reports, her campaign is spiraling out of control and her support is dwindling rapidly. She just needs to accept the fact that she could not beat fate. She and John Edwards both should have known better than to try and run against a African-American, it was a dumb move and she will pay for it in the end. Kudo’s to Christ Matthews for speaking the truth and not backing down to these idiots.
