Fierce GOP critic Chris Matthews of MSNBC got into a confrontation with some delegates to the convention early Friday morning and showed why he is a hypersensitive lout.
The Hill:
Matthews told The Hill in a phone interview that after he left the restaurant, he heard a group of guys "heckling" and "hooting and hollering" at him.
He headed back into the restaurant to mix it up with them. "I wanted to confront them," Matthews said, describing his exchange with the men as "towel-snapping" among guys.
Matthews said he told the rowdy group, "What's this, a douchebag convention?"
How classy. It gets better:
In a statement emailed to The Hill on Friday afternoon, Matthews said, "I was talking to this 2 a.m. get-together of loud-talking people who had been heckling me from inside a restaurant and were now huddled together around a table. It was that get-together, right there in front of me; that was the 'convention' I was towel-snapping about. When The Hill called me and suggested I might have been referring to the Republican National Convention I couldn't believe it. That's wrong."
He added, "I was trying in my way to engage, as I often do, with critics, hoping to find some common ground. Sometimes it works out better than this."
Sal Bacarella, who was in town to attend the convention, told The Hill that when Matthews entered the restaurant, New York City Councilman Eric Ulrich, a GOP delegate, waved to him. But Matthews snubbed Ulrich, according to Bacarella.
Ulrich then attempted to acknowledge Matthews as the "Hardball" host exited the restaurant, a gesture that Matthews answered with a "dirty look," prompting loud boos from other delegates at the restaurant, Bacarella said.

Well that's cool, at least he admitted he was addressing the insult to the folks in attendance.
A comment like that at 2:00 a.m in the morning should have at least gotten him slapped.....What's happened to the real men in this world?
“What’s this,douchebag convention?”
Why yes,it is.And now that the nozzle has arrived,we can get started.
Could somebody refer Chrissie to the same rehab folks that fellow Dems Bob Beckel, Jesse Jackson Jr, etc., went to?
He is on the edge right now. No doubt it is the guilt he feels condemning others for racism and greed while living in a near-$2 million home in a town of 91% wealthy white folks. That is an awful burden for a man to hold up while he goes to work in a limo driving through neighborhoods of blacks and hispanics who earn less in a year than he pays as property tax on his 3700 sq ft mansion.
"I wanted to confront them," Matthews said, describing his exchange with the men as "towel-snapping" among guys. Matthews said he told the rowdy group, "What's this, a douchebag convention?"And the answer was, "yes, now that you're here."

.........”Matthews said Gingrichs and the GOPs rhetoric about welfare had racial undertones, rhetoric that dates to President Ronald Reagan.
This is a history we have here, Matthews said. And this lingo is so clear to every African-American watching right now.
Gingrich disagreed.
So were not allowed to tell the truth about food stamps? he said. Come on, give me a break.
You sit here and chuckle about it as if its not a game youre playing, Matthews said. Youve got that diabolic smile of yours, and you know you think youre winning here, but everybody out there whos black or white know exactly the game thats being played here.
No, heres the game. You have the worst president, Gingrich said.”...........
“What’s this, a douchebag convention?”
