Chris Matthews on Obama's Win: 'I’m So Glad We Had That Storm Last Week'

"I'm so glad we had that storm last week."

So amazingly said MSNBC's Chris Matthews about Hurricane Sandy Tuesday night following the announcement that Barack Obama had won re-election (video follows with transcript and commentary):

This is the Machiavellian mind of a liberal media member today.

Sandy will go down as one of the worst storms to ever hit America.

Millions are still without power and are battling freezing temperatures.

The lives of tens of thousands of our citizens might never be the same.

But to Chris Matthews, that's okay because the object of his affection was re-elected.

And he has not one but two nationally televised programs from which to spout this staggeringly biased nonsense.

This is America 2012.

Nobody.

It’s metaphorical.

The quote originated with Joe Stalin to justify mass murder.

I know it is Duncan....just trying to inject some humor into a dismal reality.

I better start reading up on Stalin...I think we’re all going to become way too familiar with his ideology.

Good. Me, I’m still feeling demoralized. Will get better.

This is exactly what lost it for all the republicans in NH.
All four(Govenor, Congress 1 & 2 , President) major elections in NH were won by dems. They made the fear of the loss of womens rights and govt. benefits the main issues here. We do not have any immigration or minority issues here. We are a 90% white state. The women and the retirees all voted for the dems.

Yes it was an omelette and it may have been Stalin who said it in the Holodomor context. But if so Walter Duranty failed to mention it in one of his infamous dispatches to the NYT:

But---to put it brutally---you can't make an omelette without breaking eggs, and the Bolshevist leaders are just as indifferent to the casualties that may be involved in their drive toward socializaton as any General during the World War who ordered a costly attack in order to show his superiors that he and his division possessed the proper soldierly spirit. In fact, the Bolsheviki are more indifferent because they are animated by fanatical conviction.

Unfortunately, on Opening Day of Dear Leader’s Great Leap Forward, humor that’s not flashing neon is not recognizable as humor.

More than demoralized, I'm seething with rage. Slept not a wink last night.

When 0bama said: "Mitt Romney, he's not one of us.", he ostracized me, too. So now 0bama gets nothing from me. No patience, no understanding, no support, no slack.

Every time something goes wrong in this country, and one of my libtard friends or family mentions it, I will tell them: "He's your president. You voted for him. I'm not one of you. You got your 'revenge', so deal with the consequences."

Yea, maybe it wasn’t the right time.

I like it Travis....still working on the escape plan though, and I’m out of ideas.

The main thing is getting away from herds, and deep into tribal territory.
