The White House thinks its got a great campaign issue in falsely accusing the U.S. Chamber of Commerce of funneling foreign dollars to Republicans, and MSNBC's Chris Matthews is making it clear he's willing to assist the administration in making its case.
Who cares that there's absolutely no factual basis in what President Obama and the "Hardball" host are saying?
So hell-bent on making this a serious election issue is Matthews that on Wednesday he accused the Chamber of intentionally increasing unemployment in this nation while harming the economy (video follows with transcript and commentary):
CHRIS MATTHEWS, HOST: Let me finish tonight by addressing the challenge Bob Schieffer of CBS News issued to the White House this Sunday. Is that the best that you can do?
Bob was challenging David Axelrod on the White House charge that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce was using money it raises from overseas to finance Republican political campaigns.
So, why is it so darn important to the average voter out there, that multinational corporations, some of them based outside of the United States, have their fingers in this election?
How about this -- it`s the central economic issue of our times. Look at how the giant corporations get their profit margins up these days. Are they out there selling hot, new products every consumer wants to get their hands on? Or are they doing the job by cost-cutting, cutting down the number of employees for whom they have to pay those tiresome health packages, those costly pensions and 401 plans? Are they doing it through those highly celebrated productivity gains by substituting robotics for people, by outsourcing the cheaper vendors overseas, over where the price of labor is dirt cheap?

completely unhinged
M$NBS, curtailing recovery, causing job losses.
I think the tingling has moved to his head.
If a Chris Matthews farts in the forest, does anybody care?
The EPA would have to move emergency HazMat teams in and seal it off as a toxic waste zone.
I wouldn’t worry about this too much. He’ll only have an influence on the two or three people that watch him.
The Better Business Bureau is hurting the economy... < /sarc >
LOL
Sure they are Chrissy.
Because unemployed workers are part of their prime directive.
Frickin’ Moron.
It’s fun to watch this slobbering fool go completely insane.
And I hope one day he learns the hard way about making profits when msnbc fires his butt for low ratings.
This guy’s advertisers need to start getting heat for supporting that clown’s show.

“Are they out there selling hot, new products every consumer wants to get their hands on?”
I do so love how liberals pretend as if this is no more difficult than, say, standing in line at the welfare office. As if you can snap your fingers and come up with the New Thing.
I must admit, if I need a good chuckle or a reason to get by blood pressure up, I’ll dial in to watch Hissy-Chrissy. When the nausea becomes overwhelming, I’ll turn it off.
Desperate, lying, RATS. Calling the US Chamber of Commerce “un-American” must be the stupidest thing they could think of.
