Matthews MSNBC Promo Implies Tea Party Seeks Violent Overthrow Of Government
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

There's no other way to put it: in an MSNBC promo for an upcoming Chris Matthews special on "The Rise of The New Right," Matthews juxtaposes words and images to imply that the Tea Party seeks the violent overthrow of the government.

As images roll of camo-clad men shooting automatic weapons [screencap after the jump], Matthews proclaims in the voice-over: "the Tea Party is determined to take power."

Matthews smears Tea Party as promoting violent overthrow of government. Ping to Today show list.

He’s a total nutcase. Man, Rush has to kicking himself in the ass to this day for allowing this liberal fruitcake to host his nationally syndicated radio show on the EIB Network.

He sounds paranoid.
Fortunately, no one watches his show

I think perhaps a violent overthrow of MSNBC might be in order and proper.

The Libs are on the ropes and he knows it. That’s why he resorts to fear mongering

If the FedGov continues to operate as a Socialist regime edging towards a full on Dictatorship, isn't a "violent overthrow" of that a good thing?

I guess not if you are a media whore sucking at the government teat.

Hey Chrissy...it happened once before:

That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

If it weren’t for Newsbusters contributors, MSNBC wouldn’t have any viewership at all...

Chrissy is skating on thin ice in search of ratings and relevance.

He doesn’t care if the terrorists and Obama destroy this country, he just doesn’t want conservatives in charge....

“Chrissy is skating on thin ice in search of ratings and relevance.”

Precisely, IMHO.

Chrissie is such a putz. No wonder his ratings are swirling around the toilet bowl.

Any doubt Chrissy would have been a British loyalist?

The left does not have to be spoon fed the agenda for the propaganda. They intuitively get it. Chris Matthews heard the narrative of “Tea Party equals Racists” and went with “Tea Part equals VIOLENT Racists”.

What a crock of crap. If it ever comes to an actual shooting war, Wrangler, Levis, Faded Glory, Carhart etc. will be in the majority.

And the ladies will look nice in their designer jeans with faux prada ammo bags.
