Chris Matthews: Tea Party Reminds Me Of Confederates In Civil War
RCP Video ^ | 8-2-2012

Posted on 08/03/2012 4:33:09 AM PDT by Sir Napsalot

MSNBC's Chris Matthews implies the Tea Party is racist.

Chris Matthews: I think a lot of it is ethnic to it and I'm not trashing people as racist or anything, but I think a lot of it is ethnic. Meaning, they don't like the changing demographic of the United States. So every time --

Max Pappas, FreedomWorks: Yeah, especially Hispanics like Ted Cruz.

Matthews: No, no. He's a Cuban-American and that's always been a little different situation.

Pappas: Or Marco Rubio? Allen West?

Matthews: Every time a speech is written by a Tea Partier, they're not sufficiently happy with saying, 'we're going to cut spending.' They've got to say we're going to do something with the border. By the way, the border doesn't cross Cuba by the way, it's always Mexico.

Pappas: That's not a Tea Party position.

Matthews: Well why watch Cruz that statement?

Pappas: He's in Texas, they have a big border.

Matthews: All the time, you hear border, border, border.

Pappas: What brings the whole Tea Party together across the country is at the center of American politics. It's not extreme. It's let's only spend what we bring in. It's fiscal policy.

Matthews: You're saying Tea Partiers don't have an attitude about immigration?

Pappas: No.

Matthews: They don't?

Pappas: No. There is not a consistent Tea Party position on immigration.

Matthews: What do you mean there's not a consistent position? How come when you meet them, they talk about the 'cause'? It sounds like the Confederate Army still fighting the Civil War when you talk to them.

Not only does Chrissy Fit not understand the tea party, I doubt he would recognize an actual confederate if one came right up to him and said “How y’all doin’?” Talk about trying to sound learned but back firing big time.

I think Chrissie confused ethics with ethnics.

Well, it may be hard to believe, but about 12 years (or so) ago, Pissy Chrissy was different. He was sane and his program pretty good. Something happened to him. I have no idea what. Anybody here know?

Chris is not the fool he seems to be. He knows there are a lot of stupid democrats that like his kind of talk and he will get ratings.

Didn’t he guest host for Rush once or twice?
Amazing.

But, you can see that he’s under a “strong delusion”, and anything that doesn’t flow nicely through his worldview filter just doesn’t register.

My take is being in Washington D.C. too long tends to shred brains and morals; he is simply not of right mind. Many have succumbed to this condition.

He’s become drunk on celebrity and self indulgence, would be my guess.

Nope, just the white people.
All of his policies have transferred wealth from those he hates to those he feels it "rightly" belongs to.

I try to, when videos are posted here in FR, but I just can’t do it.

Would you watch chrissy girl being butt slammed by a 6' 6" brotha in a philly drunk tank?

Harry Reid's hidden source told me that chrissy girl gets arrested so he can take it up the chute, and the philly police don't even book him.

When Harry Reid rats out this guy, so will I.

Chris Mathhews is a queer and is a fag bottom, so I've been told.

I don't think Chris Matthews has any idea what a real Tea party movement is and has been.

Nor does have any idea what started the Civil War.

That's riiiiiiight, mofo, and this time WE have the manufacturing capacity. I personally can't wait to address the steady stream of insults and usurpations coming from your stupid pie-holes.

Picture a land with these greedy grasping parasites isolated to the East Coast, and the shore regions of California, and maybe a Midwestern enclave near Lake Michigan.

Picture Constitutional government restored with the right to vote properly restricted to (net)tax payers and people with some “skin in the game”.

If only 1% of Americans were historically and Constitutionally aware enough to see that “Confederate” minded Americans have, since Appomatox, been precisely what America needs most.

Study the work of neuroscientist Dr James Olds and you'll come to understand just what makes Chrissy tick.Olds demonstrated that when a lab rat is given the opportunity to deliver to itself a pleasurable sensation (through brain stimulation) the rat will do so again,and again,and again to the point of exhaustion and even to the point of starvation.

Chrissy likes that thrill up his leg.He likes it over,and over,and over again.
