Leftists who get worked up about the Growing Gap Between Rich and Poor really ought to organize an #OccupyChrisMatthews movement to protest this truthless waste of TV time whose NBC contract reportedly pays him $5 million a year. If I took notice every time Chris Matthews makes a complete idiot of himself, I’d never have time to write about anything else. He’s a human Stupidity Factory, with no internal mental filter that warns him when he is about to emit a steaming heap of senseless gibberish.
Look, this isn’t about ideology. Chris Hayes and Rachel Maddow are more fanatical than Matthews, and I disagree with them on damned near any issue you could name. But Hayes and Maddow — and for that matter, the insufferably smug Lawrence O’Donnell — are intelligent, articulate people. Evil, yes, but intelligent and articulate.
On the other hand, transcending all partisan differences, no one with an IQ above room temperature takes Chris Matthews seriously.
How bad is he? I’d rather watch Martin Bashir, except for the purely comic value of Matthews’s idiotic utterances. And this past week, Matthews managed to say something so incomprehensibly stupid, it was remarkable even for him. The context was the swirl of scandals afflicting the Obama administration. Matthews first suggested that criticism of Susan Rice was raaaaacist:
“Here they are, the old white guys, kicking the hell out of another African-American candidate for something.” . . .

Five million? That’s $50K per viewer.
He’s only there because they can’t find someone with the intelligence of Al Sharpton to replace him.
He sure looked like an idiot on “Jeopardy”.
Not as bad as Wolf Blitzer tho.
You gave to appreciate the zealotry of those who own MSNBC. Willing to lose millions of dollars for “the cause”.
Clean as a whistle, never, ever done anything illegal in his life, yet he knows everything about Obama?!
********
Obama had written in his first book, “Dreams From My Father” (1995), before entering politics, that he had used marijuana and cocaine (”maybe a little blow”). He said he had not tried heroin because he did not like the pusher who was trying to sell it to him.
In an interview at a meeting of the American Society of Magazine Editors, Obama said he was not making light of the subject.
“It was reflective of the struggles and confusion of a teenage boy,” he said. “Teenage boys are frequently confused.”
“You gave to appreciate the zealotry of those who own MSNBC. Willing to lose millions of dollars for “the cause”.”
I hope they keep losing millions for whatever they have decided is “their cause”! It is such a freak show I have it blocked from this house!
“Teenage boys are frequently confused.”
Very true, but most teenage boys outgrow that stage. You, ButtCrack, never did - you’re still PERPETUALLY confused, so confused that you think you’re never wrong.
“Here they are, the old white guys, kicking the hell out of another African-American candidate for something.”
Spoken like the self-loathing liberal racist he is.
Hey, Chris! Stupidity can be shown by anyone, regardless of how much pigmentation they were born with.
What percentage of the 5 mil is subsidized by the tax payer?
Who called it the “soft racism of low expectations ?” Matthews ‘ praise of Obama, “the way he’s raised those daughters”... that puts him above reproach?
“He’s a human Stupidity Factory, with no internal mental filter that warns him when he is about to emit a steaming heap of senseless gibberish.”
Matthews has been doing the impossible for years: he attended a Jesuit university and somehow was completely unable to learn the basics of critical thinking.
I don't know about that - remember during the Iraq War Hollywood would spend and lose millions producing one anti-war film after another.
They lost money, but Obama got elected - primarily on anti-war fatigue.
Chris Mathews is the Joe Biden of the MSM.
