Chris Matthews Blames Tea Party for Gifford Shooting
Brian Koenig ^ | 8/2/11 | Brian Koenig

If there's one thing Chris Matthews is good at, it's spewing rhetoric-infested propaganda that generally ends up making himself look like an ignorant dunce. Indeed, while the rest of the country was celebrating Gabrielle Gifford's surprise visit to Washington today, Matthews was lumping "gun-toting" Tea Partiers into the same category as psychotic murderers. Here is MSNBC's crazy nut job host in his attempt to play "hardball":

"It’s also important to remember why she was, why she was coming back. She was shot by a violent act, of course a person using a gun, breaking up a political meeting with a gun, bringing one to a political event which we saw a lot of during the Tea Party demonstrations, people carrying firearms to political events. The violent level of the right-wing in this country, not particularly this case but generally where people feel the need to show firearms at political events, I think that’s a bad development in our history to bring guns to political events."

"You should come to argue not to show your firearms. And to have now this horrible case of a woman who was shot down in her political act, meeting with her constituents shot, only not dead because of modern medicine and her character and her resilience, that is all part of this story this year, Howard, and I’m not going to forget it."

Matthews was careful not to directly accuse the Tea Party as responsible for the Gifford shooting, but his insinuation is quite obvious. But also, quite false. After all, last time I checked, two of Jared Loughner's favorite books are Mein Kempf and the Communist Manifesto - not exactly Tea Party-friendly literature.

Matthews is the reason Caylee Anthony was killed.

I think that the third stage of syphilis is rotting chrisy girl's brain.

No sane person can utter some of the crap that he does, and on a regular basis.

I always thought I'd like to pound the hell out of him, now I just feel pity for the loon.

Frankly I thought Chris Matthews had purchased Jared Laughner’s guns and ammo as some sort of a straw purchaser.

I heard the same trash talk from a local merchant about how “militant” Conservatives are getting and how “you know what’s going to happen, don’t you?”

I will no longer be sho[pping at her store.

John Wilkes Booth brought a gun to a theater. He was a DEMOCRAT!

Chris Matthews is the reason why there have been over 40,000 murders in Mexico in the last 3 years. He also is the reason for hemaroids and constipation.

I think Chris Mathews is George Costanza’s “little man”. An idiot.

And it’s OK to refer to TEA (Taxed Enough Already) Party members as “wearing suicide bomb vests”, being hostage-takers, and becoming terrorists. OK, now I get it.

I think the “thrill” has progressed up past his leg and, perhaps, lodged in his giggly grey noodle.

Chris Mathews as with most liberals is mentally ill. He should be institutionalized. Oh, wait he is...he’s at MSNBC.

Sissy Chrissy is just trying to get attention because NO ONE CARES what he has to say. He is totally irrelevant, and no one will miss him when he’s gone.

I don't know about that but I am pretty sure Matthews has played a major role in pushing beer stocks higher.

LOL. Personally, I think Hissy is some kind of biological miracle . . . Never before have I seen someone with no brain talk so obnoxiously loud and fast.
