Abbreviated transcript via RealClearPolitics:

CHRIS MATTHEWS: There's something about [Cruz] who's always reminded me of Joe McCarthy and there's something that is negative and menacing.

The thing about - there is a troll-like quality to Cruz. He operates below the level of human life…

Am I allowed to have a opinion?

Let me clarify it. I think he appeals - I think he appeals to people's negativity rather than their joy…

I don't think people feel good about voting for Cruz, I think they feel - I don't know what it is he appeals to. Now, people keep telling me he has inherited the libertarian crowd. I don't see how. He doesn't seem libertarian to me. He's appealed to the Baptists up here, I don't understand that. What is he, a theocrat? Maybe he is. I’m serious about the guy, there's something that's enlivening about these other candidates that makes you feel good.

I’ve really given up trying to figure out how Chris Matthews keeps his job. He is an out of touch old bigot who would be a continuing embarrassment to a profession that was still capable of feeling shame. How any network can let such a sorry, pustulent bag of guts continue on staff is beyond me.

And, of course, it is not much of a coincidence that this happened on Scarborough’s show considering he is obviously in the bag for Donald Trump. I’m sure if Marco Rubio jumped into one of the top two places, Scarborough would have Matthews on to complain about the way he sings "Babalu" and the kinds of shoes he wears.

	"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams " Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost." - John Quincy Adams

The thing about - there is a troll-like quality to Cruz.

Projecting a bit there, Tingle Boy?

[txnativegop]

I take it Chrissy’s legs were NOT TINGLING about Cruz?

Really a McCarthy reference, the left must really be afraid of Cruz.

[SmokingJoe]

Ok Chris. Are we to assume Ted Cruz doesn't send a trickle of urine down your left leg like Obama does?

[A_Former_Democrat]

What would a left winger know about “human life”?

[Faith Presses On]

Go after his advertisers.

The left seems to think they can demonize Christian conservatives and whatever hateful things they say are allowable.

This is like watching a new Soviet Union be born, from the inside.

If this is the same clip Levin was playing last night, Chris was slurring worse than Dick Armey in a late-night special order speech.

[Neu Pragmatist]

Wow ... Matthews, Cruz, and Redstate ..it’s a slimeball trifecta !

Go Trump Go !

[evangmlw]

If Chris Matthews had been a Roman Soldier in biblical days, he would have volunteered to drive the stakes in the hands and feet of Christ.

[SkyDancer]

If so, you still have to look up to see him.

[BlueStateRightist]

Sadly, a large number of Freepers agree with Matthews.

[sport]

How can Matthews say anything? His mouth is always full of Obama’s weenie.

[pilgrim]

Does anyone know his ‘FReeper screen name’??

Think I have seen some of his posts!

[SmokingJoe]

Have you seen MSNBC’s ratings?
We already had our revenge on the slimeball.

[nclaurel]

Are you comparing Cruz to Christ? Seems almost blasphemous.

[Politicalkiddo]

Guess this idiot believes the same about our Founders.

[2ndDivisionVet]

So they’ve given up on that Grandpa Munster comparison?

[2ndDivisionVet]

Look at post 8.

[JJ_Folderol]

Hey Chris!

What’s your handle here?

[uncitizen]

Something is seriously wrong with Chris Matthews. He’s a very sick individual. Mentally.
