Chris Matthews on Thursday used the ongoing developments in Egypt as a way to bash conservatives, deriding the "tea-bag" types who don't fully grasp the situation.

"....nobody takes Chris Matthews seriously. I mean, I can't imagine they do. That's just not -- there's no relevance. There's no audience, no relevance, and he's a vile human being. And angry. He's angry because he didn't wind up being Tim Russert."
Chis Matthews is a vile, scum sucking dirtbag.
Crissy Your Fired! Ahh that feels good. Maybe trump has something.
So Why Did MSNBC Just Dump Keith Olbermann? Hint: COMCAST
I don't think Comcast wants to keep throwing money down a 'Rat hole...
Of course not. Only Chris is smart enough to figure things out.
God I wish I was a s smart as Chris.
Tea Party, not Tea bag, D@*chbag.
Complexity?
Good lord the media has been cheerleading without question from the beginning.
“And the thoughtful conservative, like a George Will, not a tea-bag person, sort of person like that, a tea-bag, a tea party person, but a thoughtful conservative knows that you have to make changes to accommodate the people or you’ll lose all legitimacy.”
You mean like (.)bama refusal to go along with the majority of the people who want (.)bamacare removed from the laws of the land Chris?
So... we don’t like protests or people in the streets...
Now, what were people doing at the Tea Party rallies last year?
This lesson still hasn't gotten through to your buddy Hussein on health care, has it, Chris?
When referring to Demoncrats, it's Douche PARTY, not Douche Bag.
Luckily, I am...

Like I’ve been impressed with Matthew’s scholarly, logical arguments.
Not.
You know what just blows me away. The tea party has never killed anyone, never gotten violent and I’ve never even heard anything close to inflammatory. And yet here we have Egypt and the people are violent, calling for democracy(code word for sharia law). And Chris Matthews wants to slime his own countrymen? I mean it’s one thing to disagree with someone, quite another to name call, not state any facts and just throw mud.
No Chris we know exactly the in’s and out’s of this “crisis”.
Obama vs Mubarak is a no brainer:
Hosni (Muhammad) Mubarak
(1928- )
Hosni Mubarak is the fourth and current president of Egypt. He was born on May 4, 1928, in Kafr-al Meselha, the son of an inspector of the Ministry of Justice. Mubarak was educated at Egypt’s national Military Academy and Air Force Academy and at the Frunze General Staff Academy in Moscow.
Under Egyptian president Anwar al-Sadat, Mubarak served in a number of military posts, including deputy minister of war from 1972 to 1975; in 1975, he became vice president. After Sadat was assassinated, on October 6, 1981, Mubarak became president. He instituted a vigorous economic recovery program; remained committed to the peace treaty with Israel (signed in 1979); mended relations with other Arab states, which were damaged after Egypt’s peace with Israel; and initiated a policy he called positive neutrality toward the great powers.
He was reelected when his National Democratic Party won the October 1987 elections and was thus able to nominate him as the sole candidate for president. With serious economic problems and rising Islamic fundamental opposition at home, Mubarak continued to seek an end to the stalemate that had developed between Israel and Arab nations; in 1988 he visited the United States for talks on that subject.
Mubarak, supported the 1990 United Nations (UN) sanctions against Iraq when that country invaded Kuwait, orchestrated Arab League opposition to the invasion, committed about 38,500 troops to the anti-Iraq coalition in the Persian Gulf War (1991), and supported postwar efforts to achieve peace in the Middle East.
Reelected in 1993, Mubarak cracked down on Muslim fundamentalist opposition groups after an upsurge in guerrilla violence by Islamic extremists. Mubarak survived an assassination attempt unharmed in June 1995 in the Ethiopian capital of Addis Ababa. Five of the assailants were killed during or after the ambush and three escaped to Sudan, which is widely believed to have sponsored the attack. In November 1995, just before parliamentary elections, Mubarak’s government accused the Muslim Brotherhood of helping violent Islamic groups. Many of the Muslim Brotherhood’s members were arrested, and several who planned to run in the elections or monitor them were tried and sentenced to prison. Critics accused the government of trying to eliminate even peaceful opponents. In the elections that followed, Mubarak’s National Democratic Party won an overwhelming victory. Mubarak was elected to a fourth six-year term in 1999.
Mubarak was elected to his fifth consecutive term as president in September 2005. The election was the first contested presidential election in Egypt’s history, with official results showing Mubarak won 88.6% of the votes cast, however civil organizations observing the elections and the Egyptian Organization for Human Rights reported mass rigging activities, bought votes and fraud. Ayman Nour, a candidate for the Al-Ghad (Tomorrow) party, contested the election results on September 8, 2005. In a move widely seen as political persecution, Nour was convicted of forgery and sentenced to five years at hard labor on December 24, 2005.
Mass protests in Egypt calling for Mubarak’s resignation began on January 25, 2011. Violence in the streets quickly escalated between Mubarak supporters and the opposition following his February 1, 2011, announcement that though he would not seek another term in the presidential elections scheduled for September 2011, he would not resign from his post.
Hopefully he's been watching a news channel and not The Cartoon Network.
Wait. What's the difference?
