Couldn’t do it without you and FR!

After going all in the bomber was a middle aged disgruntled Tea Party member, MSNBC has to cover it’s ass and spin this another way to attack the Tea Party.

Pathetic.

[norwaypinesavage]

"the MSNBC host agreed with Tyler Drumheller that the most recent attacker was motivated by his house being foreclosed"

Why was Obama foreclosing on his house?

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

So all the ones arrested in Pakistan lived in the same forclosed house?

[70times7]

You nailed it.

And this is a huge issue regarding liberals like Matthews: they are primarily concerned about their own power. To them the issue is not the safety of America it is the political fallout.

How warped and demented do they need to be before the people of America see them for what they are?

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Maybe he should have paid his mortgage instead of buying airplane tickets.

[TigersEye]

Worried Next Terror Attack Could Strengthen Tea Party ...

... because everyone knows the libs are making America weak and vulnerable.

There IS a cause for most people's reaction to things.

As for Mr. Baer, he has a peculiar chronic inability to distinguish between the events of 1989 and those of 1998. Baer was also part of the so-called plea for peace theme that popped up, where the media claimed the Bush admin ignored an opportunity for peace with Iraq by refusing a joint US/French-supervised "free election" in Iraq.

After leaving the CIA Baer in late 1997 became a consultant in Beirut Lebanon. For whom I do not not know offhand other than one of the clients was a blacksheep member of Qatar's royalty, but it might explain some of his views. I seem to recall some trouble from a member of the Qatar royal family.

Baer was also a signatory - along with some other notable nuts including many VIPS members, on some toilet paper sent to John McCain :

Isn’t that something . . .they fear the political consequences of another terrorist attack more than they fear the attack itself . . . the Libs really, really care about you and are worried about your well being folks. /sarc

[LottieDah]

So Chris Matthews is more worried about strengthening the Tea Party movement than dead Americans by a terrorist bomb? As Bugs Bunny would say, “what a maroon”.

.................. how’s that chill workin’ out ,,,,,, ?

[riri]

That’s what I am thinking...he’s not worried that maybe some innocent people will get killed, worried it might make his incompetent team look bad. These people are deranged.

[FourPeas]

DRUMHELLER: Well it's because, as, as, as these attacks occur, it feeds a certain, a certain part of the, of the extreme right that looks on immigration as a threat to the American identity and then they react, and a violent fringe of that reacts violently against Moslems in some part of the country.

MATTHEWS: Yeah I know, I know. You know Bob, the problem is really not so much people who have a lot of contact with people from the Middle East or from South Asia, like I do. It's, it's people who don't meet anybody. So they make the generalization, I assume.

What a self-important fool Matthew is. He's such a Man Of The World and those of us who disagree with him must be hicks and simpletons.
