MSNBC's Chris Matthews: Terri Schiavo's Dad Having "Good Time" by Steven Ertelt LifeNews.com Editor April 1, 2005
New York, NY (LifeNews.com) -- Chris Matthews, the host of the "Hardball" political talk show on MSNBC shocked listeners of the Don Imus radio show yesterday when he claimed Terri Schiavo's father Bob Schindler was having a "good time" as his daughter starved to death.
Just hours before Terri Schiavo succumbed to a thirteen day starvation and dehydration death, Matthews made the comments.
"There's nobody here who looks particularly compelling or attractive," Matthews told Imus on the his program.
"The father seems to be having, I hate to say this, a good time. I don't know why, maybe it's the focus, maybe he's giddy with sadness of the tragedy that has been going on for so long," Matthews said.
One pro-life leader told LifeNews.com the comments were "mean-spirited" and "insensitive" and made with "terrible timing."
However, Bob Schindler has been grieving throughout the entire process and told the media earlier in the week that he was "scared to death" to visit his daughter because he was so worried about her fate and weakening condition.
"She's shown such a determination to live. It's incredible," he said at the time.
In a press conference with reports after Terri's death, Bob told the media that Terri "spoke loudly" even thought she was unable to speak for herself.
"As a member of our family unable to stand under your own power, you stood with a grace and a dignity that made your family proud," he said. "Terri, we love you dearly, but we know that God loves you more than we do. We must accept your untimely death as God's will."

Another stupid Liberal reveals himself again.
Maybe Mr. Schindler is reacting to all the stress of his daughter dying, the protests, and his own effort to save her from judicial murder. I can't judge him, because I'd hate to have walked the path he had to take.
This article will make you sick!!
Mathews is such a D-bag.o wonder his show does so well. A snobby, fast-talking man-of=the-people... What a joke.
Chris Matthews weighs in with another priceless pearl of wisdom.
Chrissi is unbalanced and inept
Whereas I am balanced and ept
Hardball,, Right!
What an awful, stupid, insensitive POS Matthews is. I'm sure there are a lot of people who think Matthews needs to be taken behind the barn for an education. Or just an old fashioned ass kicking. A rude, loudmouthed bum.
Chrissy Matthews is a clueless liberal. My heart aches for the Schindlers
I thought Mr. Schindler looked pretty bad (as in upset, sick, etc.) during his interviews. He appeared to be anything but "having a good time".
I sent the jerk an email.
What a poor excuse for a man???
LOL, you're going to be sorry you wrote that!! My mind is thinking up things for EPT but with you it's gotta pertain to food!!
He is kindof 'dippy' as you say. Dippidy Do Da.......
Wow! You've really got to be working at if you "shock" people on Imus in the morning show.
Matthews knows NO shame. He's simply trying to foist his hate-filled, liberal propaganda on anyone that'll listen.
He's also irrelevant.
