Chris Matthews Slams 'Evil' Rush Limbaugh for Spreading Climate Change 'Lies'

A frothing Chris Matthews on Wednesday excoriated Rush Limbaugh as "evil" for spreading "lies" about global warming.

The Hardball host highlighted a new Rolling Stone article by Al Gore that chides Barack Obama for not doing enough on climate change.

Matthews, however, chose to attack Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh: "These people are evil in what they're doing. I'm not saying their souls are evil, but what they're doing is really, really wrong and it's not the President."

[See video below. MP3 audio here.]

The MSNBC host declared no room for debate on global warming, announcing, "But here is a fact on the table. Global warming, climate change, Rush Limbaugh says stuff that...is just not true. I never use the word lie, but it's appropriate here."

Piling on, Matthews accused Limbaugh of being disingenuous: "Rush Limbaugh is not a stupid person. Glenn Beck is not stupid. They're saying it on purpose."

After calling Limbaugh "evil," Matthews compared him to a raging inferno: "Churchill, my hero, said this once, 'I refuse to be impartial between the fire brigade and the fire.' The President is the fire brigade on this. He may not be the greatest fire brigade, but damn it, he's not the fire. Glenn Beck is. Rush Limbaugh is the fire."

"Evil" is a term Matthews likes to throw around. He previously used the word on Newt Gingrich and mocked him for looking like "the devil."

Chris Matthews does not understand a thing about Winston Churchill. Churchill would destroy Matthews in conversation if he was alive.

“The MSNBC host declared no room for debate on global warming,”

Stalin and Lysenko come immediately to mind.

My standard response to any Chris Matthews post: All the millions who die from malaria, and this turd catches it yet lives on. There’s no justice.

Churchill would roll over and take a nap in preparation for something serious entering his life.

I have a solution. Let’s send him a tweet of Weiner’s ‘climate change package’ and he’ll leave the rest of us alone for a couple weeks while he ‘inspects it for accuracy.’

Just have to comment on your tagline:

I certainly would prefer to vote for a REAL Conservative, but your right, I would, we'll see in a year.

Rush Limbaugh is not a stupid person. Glenn Beck is not stupid.

Okay, that much I'll give Chrissy the Tingler.

So, voicing some skepticism about this fraud is EEEEEVIL, but working to engineer the further destruction of industrial civilization and the way of life of millions of peope, in support of the same fraud, and personally profiting from that destruction, is good. Got it.

Commie Matthews always gets his panties in a twist when people don’t believe his religion.

Pray for America
