MSNBC's Chris Matthews has said some things that would make your scratch your head - like getting a thrill up his leg from a speech given by Barack Obama. However, this one will really make you wonder what he was thinking.
On his Nov. 9 broadcast of "Hardball," in an interview with Zuhdi Jasser, president of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy, Matthews compared the incident of Maj. Nidal M. Hasan at Ft. Hood to Sirhan Sirhan's 1968 assassination of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy.
"You know, I have a hard time with this because people like Sirhan Sirhan, who is still serving time for killing Bobby Kennedy, didn't like what Bobby Kennedy had said on television," Matthews said. "Bobby Kennedy had made political statements saying we're going to sell arms, fighter planes directly to Israel, not under the table. We're going to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. Those are the things that triggered his killing spree. He killed one person - Bobby Kennedy, horrifically. But did he become a different religious person because he committed the crime? And when did this happen?"

“”Those are the things that triggered his killing spree””
WOW! I’ve waited 41 years to learn the reason for Sirhan’s actions and didn’t know that Matthews had the answer all along. Wonder when he dreamed that one up. These people really creep me out.
I used to wonder about things like that during clinton and chinagate and why hosts like Greta Van Sustran kept looking the other way. Then I saw an article in a real estate mag (I live near DC) about an incredible investment Gretta and her husband made. They got 3x what they paid for their DC home......from the Chinese government.
No one cares...
I honestly would tar and feather Matthews first...Obizmal after this douche bag. Mathews has been the lead Cheerleader. Sometimes I wonder if Soros found him aqnd brought him on board before he found Obama.
humor *ping*
There’s a difference between being stupid, and being an evil traitor who hates America and all that is good about America.
It is so far beyond stupid.
"Well, this guy, according to all the testament, admittedly it has not been admitted into court. We cannot call him the shooter until we have a trial. That's the way we work here, you know, that's how it works in America, certainly not in the news business. You can't call somebody a murderer until you get a conviction in court.
Because, you know, Chris Mathews has never accused anybody of anything unless they were convicted first in a court of law.
All I can say is payback can be one hell of a bitch.
Why would this Obama apologist say this?
Does he KNOW that the Obama CIA, FBI, and Army commands are guilty of criminal negligence for allowing Nisan to stay in the army, to not be booted out even AFTER Obama investigative agencies KNEW Hasan had called Al Quaeda?
Is he feeling compelled (by a phone call from his boss) to get out in front of the VERY APPROPRIATE cslls for someone’s head to roll because of this negligence?
Or is it just Chrissy’s fondness for our bloodthirsty enemies that brings such a question?
This is what passes for journalism in America.
Pray for America and Ft Hood
’ That’s not a crime to call up al Qaeda, is it? Is it? I mean, where do you stop the guy?”
Well for starters let’s try Article 104 of the UCMJ
(5) Communicating with the enemy.
(a) That the accused, without proper authority, communicated, corresponded, or held intercourse with the enemy, and;
(b) That the accused knew that the accused was communicating, corresponding, or holding intercourse with the enemy.

Chrissie is guilty!
Matthews will never be more than what he has always been, a dumb Democratic hack.
Matthews, do us a favor. Start e-mailing al-Qaeda.
