A letter to Eric Alterman pointed this out first. Here's Chris Matthews and Ann Coulter talking about political movies. I boldfaced the juicy part, but the whole thing is worth a read.

MATTHEWS: Why is it always anti-right? I mean, I’ve been waiting for 50 or 70 years for an anticommunist movie to come out of Hollywood. There’s a zillion anti-Nazi movies. How about one or two anticommunist movies?
Let me ask you, Ann Coulter. Do you think the Clintons would make a good-what do you call it-a good property for a mini-series? And could it be done fairly?
COULTER: It would have been done, if it had been done honestly, I think extremely well. And I agree with you that they’re capable of doing an honest movie that extrapolates slightly but basically gets the characters right.
And I’ll give you an example of one where they did it with hatred in their hearts, but unfortunately, they did it accurate to history, and that was “Patton.” That was intended to make Patton look terrible, but it was accurate to history and it made Patton look great and people loved him. And that’s why they don’t do it accurately any more.
MATTHEWS: You are dead wrong. Everybody loved “Patton” from the first day it came out.
COULTER: But that isn’t the way it was intended.
MATTHEWS: I was in the Peace Corps in Africa and everybody over there loved it when we got to see it. From the first day we loved it.
CORN: How could you not love that movie from the opening scene?
MATTHEWS: He’s God-like. Ann, where do you get this malarkey from?
Everybody loved “Patton.” How old were you, when “Patton” came out. How old were you, two?
COULTER: I think you’re misunderstanding.
MATTHEWS: No, I think you’re wrong, Ann. I think everybody loved “Patton.”
COULTER: Can I respond?
MATTHEWS: Who didn’t like it?
COULTER: That is precisely my point, because it was made accurately.
But it was made, the people making it were intending to make Patton look bad.
MATTHEWS: Who did that?
COULTER: That is why George C. Scott turned down his Academy Award for playing Patton.
MATTHEWS: Who told you that? Who told you that?
COULTER: It’s well known.
MATTHEWS: It’s well known?
COULTER: Why do you think he didn’t accept the award?
CORN: Why did he take the role? Why did he take the role, Ann, if he didn’t want to do it?
COULTER: Why do you think he turned down the award, Chris? You never looked that up? It never occurred to you? “I wonder why George C. Scott didn’t accept his award.”
MATTHEWS: Because he said he wasn’t going to a meat parade, because he didn’t believe in award ceremonies because they’re all about women wearing no clothes and showing off their bodies...
COULTER: By portraying Patton as negatively as possible, but by doing it accurately the American people loved it.
MATTHEWS: Facts mean nothing to you, Ann.
CORN: In this movie he shoots down an airplane with a gun.
MATTHEWS: I’m glad you are not making movies, Ann Coulter. Thank you, David Corn, Andrew Grossman.
Jesus.

Poor Chris Matthews probably has very little say in what guests are booked on his show. Oh, by they, Chris, there are plenty of anti-communist movies -- maybe you missed the entire James Bond series?
