MSNBC's Chris Matthews has said some things that would make your scratch your head - like getting a thrill up his leg from a speech given by Barack Obama. However, this one will really make you wonder what he was thinking.
On his Nov. 9 broadcast of "Hardball," in an interview with Zuhdi Jasser, president of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy, Matthews compared the incident of Maj. Nidal M. Hasan at Ft. Hood to Sirhan Sirhan's 1968 assassination of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy.
"You know, I have a hard time with this because people like Sirhan Sirhan, who is still serving time for killing Bobby Kennedy, didn't like what Bobby Kennedy had said on television," Matthews said. "Bobby Kennedy had made political statements saying we're going to sell arms, fighter planes directly to Israel, not under the table. We're going to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. Those are the things that triggered his killing spree. He killed one person - Bobby Kennedy, horrifically. But did he become a different religious person because he committed the crime? And when did this happen?"

Seriously, what did you expect from a former member of the Carter administration?

Yet Chrissy wouldn’t waste any time calling the FBI if he thought his neighbor might have friends in the KKK.

Chris probably dials up the Al Qaida party line all the time.
Seriously, I think Matthews drinks heavily.

How did this guy get his own show? He’s as dumb as a box of rocks or... as dumb as Keith Olbermann.

In light of events, it would seem there are a great number of people absolutely intent on national suicide; moreover, they believe, apparently, that it’s perfectly okay to take the rest of us with them.

Jeez! Serious public exposure of rampant ignorance alert!

What exactly does Obama, Inc. have on this guy????? Chrissy was pretty upset with Clinton in the nineties, but he seems so positively gushy towards Obama, Inc. that I would guess that he was jealous that Clinton actually favored women and he still has hope that Barry will notice him and satisfy his mancrush...wait, that would be boycrush in Barry's case.... no, that would be racist...so let me call it prepubescent young male crush.

Of course, “journalists” like Matthews no only have called, but have sat down to tea with despots and dictators by the dozens over the years, so they don’t see the problem. To Chris, it’s not a crime to call a terrorist group, but it’s a crime to call Hasan a terrorist.

Matthews: 'That's Not a Crime to Call al-Qaida, Is It?' Why? Are you worried you might have to cut ties with one of your favorite sources?
