Chris Matthews Slams Obama Cuba Overtures
Newsmax ^ | April 17, 2009 | David A. Patten

Posted on 04/17/2009 6:47:20 PM PDT by re_tail20

“Hardball” host Chris Matthews bandaged his bleeding heart on the MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” program Friday, delivering a blistering critique of the Obama administration’s diplomatic overtures to Cuba.

“I just am not a Castro fan,” Matthews told host Joe Scarborough when asked about the administration’s “historic” opening to Cuba with the easing of travel restrictions.

“He bought the wrong ticket,” Matthews said of Castro. “He bet on Communism. He bet on the Soviet Union. If that side had won, he’d be marching down 5th Avenue overseeing the executions in Central Park. He made the wrong decision -- morally, historically, whatever. He’s on the wrong side of history. He ought to pay for it.”

One reason Matthews cited for his strong feelings: Cuba’s possible involvement in Lee Harvey Oswald’s assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

Tingley Leg Matthews is just trying to salvage what is left of his credibility. Too bad for him that there is nothing left to salvage.

““He bought the wrong ticket,””

Matthews isn’t bright enough to realize he’s referring to himself backing the communist Obama.

Chrissy singing to Zero:

You never close your eyes anymore when I kiss your lips.
And there’s no tenderness like before in your fingertips.
You’re trying hard not to show it, (baby).
But baby, baby I know it...

I’ve lost that lovin’ tingle,
Whoa, that lovin’ tingle,
I’ve lost that lovin’ tingle,
Now it’s gone...gone...gone...wooooooh.

This is one time where Chris is right.

Again, Teddy Kennedy just the other day got a Kennedy dog slipped into the White House without anyone holding it in quarantine for a month (or whatever the standard time limit is for bringing animals into the White House).

One does wonder what diseases that dog is carrying.

being reported over in that country that it was zero who walked over and said I want to be your friend

if this is true I want the GOP to go full throttle and bring out how zero is gong against this country all the time, infact even if it is not true the handshake was there and that is enough

bowing, shaking and talking , even letting Iran not stop enriching uranium

with out a doubt he is in the white house to destroy us and Soros, Ayers have been planning this for years as they knew their violence was never going to work just like Hitler did.

Matthews absolutely bought the wrong ticket with Obama. That tingle up his leg will turn into an itch....a burning itch, before these four years are up. It will then be too late for the country.

Castro and Kennedy? Does he know something we don't know?

What a blowhard Matthews is. His wife must have to wear earplugs at home.

So does Chris Matthews now realize that he’s one of the proverbial “useful idiots” throughout history that have paved the way for despots and tyrants? I seriously doubt he gets it.

Castro would not have joined any conspiracy to assassinate Kennedy, as the usual list of conspirators wanted Castro dead more than they wanted Kennedy dead.

As evil as Castro was, and is, for his own clever, self surviving reasons, he would not have done this.

Notice Matthews doesn’t care whether Castro is condemned for moral reasons or for merely losing in an historical sense.

This confirms Matthews is lying, and his comments are made in order to position himself in a certain way—namely, that he might look less socialistic than as portrayed by his entire history.

“I just am not a Castro fan.”

You’re not an 0bama fan either. You just haven’t yet suffered the inevitable ‘useful idiot’ disillusionment.

0bama is a C.O.M.M.U.N.I.S.T.

It’s simple to see (I’ve studied the hard-left/collectivism for over twenty years)—just judge the man by his actions, friends and THEN his own words and you will see.

Even most conservatives won’t accept this as true yet—but they will.

Everyone is SO AMAZED at how “fast” he is moving his agenda—this is just another day at work for a communist, folks—he’s pacing himself, actually. He doesn’t know how to run THIS country but he does know how to bring her to her knees—AND THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT HE IS DOING.

This s**t is just getting started.

I know, I know, I’m an ‘extremist’—talk to me in a few years.

I’ve been following 0bama for over two years—the hard left has been polishing him up for this for years.

He’s already told you IN NO UNCERTAIN TERMS that the constitution is unfinished. He’s told you that redistributing the wealth is a good thing. He’s told you he wants a ‘civilian army’. He’s fired a CEO from a private sector position. He’s taken over private banks. He’s refusing to let them pay back what they ‘borrowed’ so he can keep them firmly under his thumb. He’s actively targeting state’s sovereignty. He’s actively targeting his opposition—seeking to villify/marginalize them (DHS ‘extremist’ report). He denegrates the US at every turn to our allies and enemies alike. And on, and on...

IN....HIS....FIRST....THREE....MONTHS....IN....OFFICE!

WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED TO SEE?

Take it in. Think about it. Accept it.

He’s a C.O.M.M.U.N.I.S.T.

You WISH he was a liberal.

Sure he did it. That's because Kennedy had been trying to assassinate him.

Castro had no need to join a conspiracy ~ just hire Lee Harvey Oswald.

Just reading the psychology of this thread...Chris Matthews is seen as a sympathetic figure in the conservative psyche—most of you call him by his first name and some even flirtatously add a “y” to his first name. I would go deeper into this, but I can’t spell any more of those neat sounding psychological terms.

Flame away

I had a blog DemocratsforSale.com that I put up all kinds of info like you have. Then I was contacted by Franklin Marshal Davis’ son about how wrong I was about his father and Obama. Scared the living daylights out of me and the powers at be decided it was time to post no more as all the details were there including the fact that Rev Wright’s church was used as a front for Muslims when they wanted to show they were Christian.

I agree — Communist!

Amazingly this little thread is pulling in the Obama truth squad crowd.

I think we've hit something on the head ~ now if they'll just take that Kennedy dog out of the White House their leader and his family (and his running dog lackeys) might not die of whatever diseases that dog has been innoculated to spread.

So, what say, will he live or will he die. It's up to you, not us.

Naw, Chrissy is just being play-tough on an issue that will pale when compared to Pres. Urkell’s backwards bend over in front of Venezuela’s Chavez. He wants to show he is tough on real commies from Cuba but when Urkell sets off a firestorm with his new bestest buddy Hugo, he will plead that the fat man is only a play communist.

People for whom English is not their first language frequently make that mistake. After all English, to most foreign ears, is a very quiet, almost peaceful sounding language with few "harsh sounds".

It's definitely not like Mandarin where they actually designed in some "nasties" so the Mandrin class could sound both authoritative and threatening to ordinary Chinese.

I'm guessing some of our correspondents here are third-world Commies, or maybe Islamofascists, who support Obama.
