An outraged Chris Matthews scolded John McCain, on Tuesday's "Hardball," for criticizing Obama's stance on Iran's elections as the MSNBC host exclaimed: "The difference between the President, who is being very calm and not jumping up and down, and those on the right who are hitting the idiot button right now. And the idiot button is the one often pushed by Sarah Palin, but this week by John McCain and others." Matthews -- who also mocked Sarah Palin for praising the troops in her acceptance of David Letterman's apology -- attacked conservatives in general for engaging in "idiot talk."
MATTHEWS: Okay yeah, let me try to get to your left, let me try to get to your left Lawrence because I feel like getting over there tonight. Snuggling over to your left Lawrence O'Donnell because I disagree with you. I think there's become, there's become this new idiot button on the right where you have to punch this button in order to be considered a real conservative now. "Obama is a socialist on health care. He's a socialist. All his fiscal programs are insanely socialistic." You have to punch that button. Then you gotta say this [Iran] election was "bogus." You gotta punch that button. If you don't talk in that, that right wing, idiot talk you're not considered a conservative any more. The idea of being a thoughtful person is wrong now, politically, on that side of the aisle. That's where I think it's going.

He must be one of those hate talkers we keep hearing so much about.
If you look up the word “idiot” ,you’ll find a picture of Chris Matthews...
Why would anyone be jumping up and down about a government that maims and murders it’s opponents in cold blood on world wide TV.
How could any decent person object to those murders.
Just as idiotic as protecting the life of the unborn.
Just not acceptable.
Would somebody push Chris Matthews?
Chris who? I don’t understand, who?!
You have to admit, when it comes to idiocy Spitboy is an expert.
Pray for America
Now, why would McCain go on his show again? [Don’t answer].
Holy cow is that bag of wind still poluting the air waves?
Iranian protesters getting shot, Ruandans getting slaughtered, Cambodians in the killing fields, Kurds getting gassed, Americans jumping off the burning World Trade Center - let’s all be thoughtful about this and not get overly emotional.
Is Chris Matthews a human being? Or just some weird member of the animal kingdom?
The only idiot I see is Matthews. And his act is getting old.
