Chris Matthews, on Tuesday’s “Hardball,” ominously warned that the “activists on the radio,” are “gonna pay,” if “we have violence in this country against our president of any form,” for having “encouraged the craziness.” Matthews made that charge in a segment, with NBC News’ Chuck Todd and the Politico, that began by the MSNBC host wondering if the GOP was “jumping the shark,” with “these crazy town meetings,” and declared “the clown show is over.”
The following exchange was aired on the September 22 edition of “Hardball”:
CHRIS MATTHEWS: Let me ask you about the Republicans. I noticed a little pullback on the, have they failed, are they feeling they’re jumping the shark, to use a television term, with these crazy town meetings? Have they felt, I saw the Eric Cantor meeting in Virginia the other day, he’s a smart guy. He wants to be president or whatever, some day. He’s smart enough to know, is he – I’m asking – that it’s time to cool it? That this crazy anti-government talk isn’t improving any body’s life. The clown show is over. It’s better now to look like you’re at least hopeful of getting a better health care plan for the country, even if you vote against it. Is that the Republican assessment right now? Based upon our polling?

It amazes me how Mr. Matthews, a reasonably intelligent man can ignore the many accumulated reasons for the town & teabaggers meetings. The past 6 months of Obama policies that have placed our country in unprecedented debt; have not improved our economy; unemployment higher than ever; 8400 earmarks (paybacks) for a bizarre stimulus; obvious financial catering to unions (more payback); Cap & Trade, Death Tax,..even Coca Cola. all NEW taxes; no COL increase for Soc. Sec. this year; Govt takeover of Auto. mfgs. (another precedent); an 1100 page Healthcare bill unread by Obama & many of his proponents; the obvious repetitive lies by the White House (47 mill. uninsured; reduction or no increase in present Govt. costs; keep same Dr.; no change to you ….OBVIOUS LIES). Then we have the assortment of Czars, past communists, left radicals, tax cheats,
the Chicago fiasco with Obama's chief of staff in the middle. Current ACORN expose..OBAMAs past and only employer! The on going simple birth certificate request…"just show the original document"!
Additionally, our President and his "apologetic" foreign policy speeches and the recent missle defense change, exposing our NATO allies to an increasing Russian threat. No one had to prompt these meetings! If the news media, and all the networks would have performed their duties accurately,
the townhall and teabaggers would have been much larger! This would include Mr. Matthews!
I met Chris Matthews years ago and had several conversations with him. He has, over the years, become more strident and abusive to those with whom he disagrees. Who died and made him king?
Chris Matthews is such a moron, half the time I can't even understand what he is saying because his voice is muffled by having his head stuffed Obama's a–. He has to say the things he does because
he works for the National Barack Channel and it has been made clear they have so much to gain by supporting the messiah. Until America wakes up to the truth about what is going on and rebels against the tyranny that is being imposed upon this country, we will continue to get shafted.
In God I trust, not big governement
Did God resign and leave Chris Matthews in charge of the Universe? Don't think so. Mr. Matthews, the size of your ego is only surpassed by the amount of your ignorance. And just who do you think you are belittling people for exercising their Right to Assembly and quite peacefully, I might add. There wasn't any rough stuff, just singing patriotic songs, expressing sincerely held views, and GET THIS CHRIS, NOT ONE ARREST. You lefties can't walk across the street without several arrests, flag burnings, etc. Chris, you need to know something, DO NOT MAKE THE MISTAKE OF THREATENING REAL PATRIOTIC AMERICANS STANDING UP FOR OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS! Your network is already paying a big price financially; do you want to up the ante? Didn't think so!
Chrissy is gradually working his way from being a fringe lunatic, to being a highly offensive fringe lunatic. The "fellow travelers" are slowly but surely outting themselves. He uses the word Republican like a swear word for anyone who disagrees with him. He throws around the words racist, homophobe and some others like they really meant something. Hey Chrissy, it isn't the Republicans you detest so much, that's the American public.
Chris….you're the clown. As a citizen of this country, it is our right to assemble. So, you got a problem with anyone disagreeing with Obama? Maybe there a some in this country who don't agree with his policies. Get over it!!
Matthews lives somewhere in America,and he is one of Americas enemies..what now?
How does this Moon bat Commie stay on the air? The guy is obviously anti American.
Chris Matthews needs his name and personal address posted on the internet. The days of hiding behind anonymity should be over. This “Cafeteria Catholic” needs to be brought to accountability. Let the Wars against the Ass____s begin. I am weary of the liberal S—>
Parenthetically: I believe this As—- is a Holy Cross Graduate. Prae tell: How can a Catholic from a Jesuit Institution support an ideology that supports Abortion on Demand when one of its revered members declared that Late Term Abortions were tantamount to infanticide? Matthewsw is SHI- personified.
Easy. The Jesuits we Catholics once loved and admired have embraced liberation theology and such things as the Wiccan Ministery and other groups too outlandish to mention. They hawe embraced abortion, same
sex marriage and variations in the liturgy such as ” cookie masses “. Guess that tingle up the leg has become
a flashflood in his diaper.
Matthews is S–T.
Chris: I am making it my business to discern your residence address. My intentions are to have people who disagree with your SHI-, an opportunity to address their disagreements effectively. Get Your Best Hold.
