Chris Matthews: TSA Uproar Meant to Hurt Obama
Hotair.com ^ | 11/24/2010 | Matt Lewis

Tuesday night on MSNBC’s “Hardball,” host Chris Matthews described the recent uproar over the TSA as “the right wing’s ginned up controversy.”

This, of course, is a narrative liberals are hoping to push.

During his discussion with The Washington Examiner’s Tim Carney, Matthews went on to imply that conservatives are only outraged over the TSA’s procedures because they want to hurt President Obama politically.

I would be against the TSA's groping if it was President Bush, or even President Palin, instead of Obama. BTW, here's a list of sponsors that paid for commercial advertisements on "Hardball" tonight:

Cisco
Mistubishi
AT&T
Maxwell House
Castrol GTX
US Postal Service
National Car Rental
BMW

Barely anybody watches "Hardball". The show has terrible ratings. Why do these big companies pay for air time on that show? They are subsidizing leftist propaganda!

I doubt any of them buy time on that specific show - it’s probably what is known in the trades as “run of schedule” buy... scattered across various dayparts, with a minimum rating in a specific demographic.

When they say “minimum rating”, they aren’t kidding. I’d bet they don’t reach a tenth of a hundredth of a percent. I still say they are subsidizing the leftist propaganda.

It is common sense, i.e., sound practical judgment derived from experience to NOT allow oneself to be molested.

It is common sense to go to a Town Hall Meeting and ask questions about something as vital as health care and money.

It is common sense not to go in debt trillions of dollars

It is common sense to question obamanation and his entourage spending millions on pleasure and pleasure trips...

etc etc

what the obamanation regime is soundly against are all reflections of common sense. obamanatation has no common sense.... thus, it is not real to him, as we, the masses are not real to him.

Actually, I agree with Mathews to some extent. Even so, it is fair play, they want to continuously take cheap shots at us, we’ll hit them back, and HARD.

I’ve thought about TSA, the only other option that they really have, assuming that the X-Ray scanners really work, is the Russian approach. If you don’t like the scanners, then find another way to get where you’re going. Russia has at least as much terrorism to deal with, and they’re sold on the scanners.

Having said that, I absolutely LOVE watching this administration SWEAT, big-time, while trying to do their job. It is a blast.

That's right Chris, because as everyone knows it's ALL about Barrack.

Now run along and kiss the god-king's ass you limp wristed sycophant.

Many things can hurt Obama.
One is speaking in public without a teleprompter.
He can’t do it......

Blinding flash of the obvious on Matthews’ part. Had this happened under Bush ol’ Crissie would be leading the attack against it.

Chrissy knows that if this had been initiated under a Republican administration, he would be spewing spit at the camera, so he imparts his irrationality on the people he hates. I hate big government and gestapoesque agencies, including Homeland Security. I much prefer a reasonable, honest government that isn’t afraid to identify real enemies and leave others alone. Whether or not Chrissy gets a thrill up his leg from the TSA goons, he should recognize a police state when he experiences it, and do his job as a media flake to stop it.

Well, lets take what Chrissy says and make it into truth.

Hmmm. Obama creates TSA uproar meant to hurt and rob citizens of liberty and dignity.

That should do it.

Matthews wrote speeches for Jimmy Carter. That says it all about his importance. He’s an idiot and that is his lot in life. Matthews I am sure was complaining all day, every day about the Patriot Act and violation of rights, but he’s ok with what TSA is doing. Heaven forbid Matthews could ever be consistent with his views.

Yeah - no one has a legitimate gripe IF it's against a liberal.

Well, according to Mr. Tingle up the Leg that is...

Chrissy sounds like the lock step folks of the 60 's establishment - 'my country, right or wrong'. Really, Big Sis wants to do this on trains, buses, and ships. Not that any of those could be flown into a building, but just because liberals are bullies - and it's one more way to stick it to all of us.
