Matthews: Limbaugh's Fans Only Listening Because They're Mad At Their Obama Loving Kids

Chris Matthews, on Monday's Hardball, took after Rush Limbaugh for his use of the word "regime" and "junta" in talking about Barack Obama's presidency. After playing a clip of the talk radio host making fun of Matthews, for making fun of Limbaugh's use of the word regime, the Hardball host and his panelists charged Limbaugh and his listeners of trying to de-legitimize the President and accused them of racism. MSNBC political analyst Richard Wolffe even went as far to insist the opposition to the President is all about "his color." Matthews also went on to hysterically claim Limbaugh's listeners are only tuning in because they're "mad at their kids" for supporting Obama.

Chris can’t believe that everybody’s kids don’t believe what HIS kids believe. He really needs to get out of Washington sometime. Maybe take his kids to Dollywood. ;o)

This guy gets crazier and crazier! I hope his benefits include excellent mental health coverage and an Employee Assistance Program.

I saw Matthews make this ridiculous claim on his TV show tonight.

He and his guests (including the alwasy obnoxious Eugene Robinson) were the arrogant elitists they always are.

The really don't get it.

What I also find amazing is that these people who for eight years did everything they could to say that George W. Bush was not the legitimate President of the US now say that it is just terrible that Rush Limbaugh de-legimitizes Obama by referring to his "administration" as a regime.

The college kids I know are conservative - it's their parents and grandparents who think Woodstock was groovy.

Chrissy is such a maroon. Limbaugh’s fans have, for the most part, been listening to him since George H. W. Bush was President.

[VRWC For Truth]

Double up Chrissy.

Chris Matthews tries to stir the race pot everytime he’s on. I’m beginning to think it’s kind of funny. He’s such a loon.

Oh yeah, the Obamaites will get a reduction of graduation money from us.

Tell them their present was redistributed.

[oh8eleven]

I saw Matthews ... and Eugene Robinson ...
Good Lord, how can you watch them? They make my skin crawl!

[Enchante]

Chrissy Matthews still has a show? who knew??

Meanwhile, General Electric is running ads celebrating Ronald Reagan’s 100th birthday to appease conservatives, while stabbing them in the back with a GE-owned news network full of Matthews, Olberman, Maddow, Ratigan, Schuster, Schultz and other loony progressive liberals.

Man, he is turning into a real whack job..

[Neverforget01]

Won’t Chrissy be shocked when he finds out how conservative our “kids” become as they can’t find jobs or lose them to illegals. My kids are more conservative than I am.

I really don’t think anyone listens to Mrs. “Tingle Leg” anymore.

Her show is in the dumper, as is her ideology.

There is only ONE reason that I don’t like Miss Chrissie. He’s white.

[roses of sharon]

I think he is a drunk.

I read a story a few years ago about he and his wife in a restaurant when Chrissy made a scene yelling at the waitress.

So he could be an angry alcoholic.

One of my twins (3rd grade) came home from school during the 2008 election season and said, "Good news, Mom! Mrs. Smith said Barack was born in Hawaii!

[LibLieSlayer]

chrissy... you are full of crap... and regardless of why we listen to Rush... and we listen because he is right... he has Millions of listeners... you have none!

LLS

[dandiegirl]

There’s nothing worse than someone who thinks they are a big shot yelling at waitresses in public places. They just have no idea what as%$es they make of themselves.

[Wilum]

Well Chris, I've been listening long enough to remember when Rush was generous enough to let you sub for him one time. Guess you want to forget that now. OH! by the way my 18 year old daughter is disgusted with your little leg tingling Messiah.
