Unhinged: Chris Matthews Ties Texas Prosecutor Murders to Ted Cruz and the Second Amendment

Last night on MSNBC's Hardball, Chris Matthews hit a new level of unhinged when he tied Texas Senator Ted Cruz and the Second Amendment to the murders of prosecutors in Kaufman, Texas and of a prison guard in Colorado. Matthews completely ignores the criminal element of the prosecutor slayings and instead tries to claim the people responsible for the murders are "using their Second Amendment rights" to prove a point. More from the Media Research Center:

Let me start tonight with this, where we are in this country with guns. Guns and the law. Three years ago, a Republican candidate for the Senate out in Nevada said we may need to resort to our Second Amendment remedies if we can't get public officials to do what we want. Second Amendment remedies, meaning use our guns guarded by the Second Amendment to deal with people in government we don't like. If that was frightening enough for you, how about what's happening in Colorado and Texas? In Colorado, a top prison official was gunned down in his home. In Texas, two prosecutors were killed, a third has now pulled out of a case against the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas for, quote, "security reasons."

So, we have people using guns to settle their disputes with public officials, using their Second Amendment remedies.

This Second Amendment remedy is no longer the crazy talk of an odd duck Senate candidate out in Nevada, Second Amendment remedies are what you do when you don't like public officials. You shoot 'em! And that's what's going on now!

[EXCH54FE]

Will you ever talk about the criminal element of our "gun" problem in the United States, Chris? I dare you. Also, the Aryan Brotherhood doesn't give a damn about your vote, gun safety or more gun control.

Chrissy boy is the survivor of a botched partial birth abortion. The doctor sucked out his brain and left that fat slob body.

[rktman]

Well, as a casual observer of the human condition, I can honestly say that if a psych eval was done on pissy chrissy, he’d be turned down if he were (heaven forbid) to attempt to purchase a firearm. Guess it’s the back alley for pissy chrissy huh? We could only hope he walks down a back alley in chi-town some evening doing investigative jerkolism.

[Obadiah]

Okay, Chris. Sure. Whatever.

[jrg]

I wish someone would use their 2nd amendment rights on Chrissy. However, if someone is inclined to do so, do not make it a head shot since you won’t be hitting anything vital.

[DManA]

Of course he’s unhinged. This has been established over and over again. Nobody watches his show. The only attention he gets is from conservative chatters.

Really, it is time to just ignore him, like everyone else in the country does.

[ZX12R]

Always be looking over your shoulder, Chris. You might attract some whacko lib who doesn’t think you’re doing enough towards the cause of communism/marxism/socialism. Conservatives are by far the more stable group of people. The mass murderers have always been lefty libtards. How many helpless babies does your side murder year after year, simply because they can’t be bothered with birth control. The product and history of the left is drenched with blood.

[Travis McGee]

Feel the love.

[muawiyah]

Actually, it's Crissy who knows entirely too much about these murders to be innocent.

Watching these Korean history dramas I saw a really interesting way to TORTURE ~ something about two sticks, a chair, and it's just too horrible to talk about, but Crissy would squeal on everybody.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

Crissy has more nuts in his head than a squirrel turd...

[kiryandil]

Chris Matthews - Julius Streicher and Janet Reno's love-child? :

[mardi59]

Once again msnbc proves how irrelevant thy truly are.

Well Chris, maybe it’s your constant rants about racism and hatred of republicans that’s fueling these murders. If anyone is to blame, it’s YOU Chris.

I think msnbc enjoys this fools mental issues. They must love watching him make a idiot of himself.

Tokyo Rose(Sign In): Hello you fighting orphans in the Pacific. Hows tricks? This is 'After Her Weekend Ann' moving back on the air, strictly under union hours. Reception okay? Why, it better be, because this is All-Requests night. And Ive got a pretty nice program for my favorite little family, the wandering boneheads of the Pacific Islands. The first request is made by none other than the boss. And guess what? He wants Bonnie Baker in "My Resistance is Low". My, what taste you have, sir, she says.

Tokyo Rose(Sign Off):Thank you, thank you, thank you. That's all for now enemies, but there'll be more the same tomorrow night.Until then, this is Orphan Ann, your number one enemy, reminding you GI -- always to be good! Goodbye now.

So far the Aryan brotherhood thing seems to consist largely of speculation. I saw one Texas prosecutor suggesting cartel hits using Aryan brotherhood.

Frankly, if it weren’t for liberals forcing desegregation of prisons, the Aryan Brotherhood and all the other race based prison gangs likely wouldn’t exist.

[BenLurkin]

What will it take before the gets fired?

Seriously, you'd think he would have been canned by now.

[CMailBag]

Just wait till people start shooting Democrats for what they have done to the health care system.

[sunny48]

Chris Matthews is insane, it’s how he keeps his job. People talk about his craziness everyday. Nothing he says is relevant.
Maybe if everyone would just ignore him, he’ll go away.

[Wiser now]

Matthews is projecting, especially with regard to his rants on racism.

[Labyrinthos]

So, we have people using guns to settle their disputes with public officials, using their Second Amendment remedies.

Democrats, liberals, and other leftist hate groups have been using guns to settle their disputes with public officials throughout our Nation's history: John Wilkes Booth, Leon Czolgosz, Lee Harvey Oswald, Hewy P. Newton (and the Black Panthers, in general), Kathery Boudin (and the Weatherunderground, in general), etc., etc., etc.
