Matthews: Romney showed disdain for Obama by running against him so early
Hotair ^

Via Mediaite and the Right Scoop, he hasn’t reached the point of insisting that the mere act of challenging Obama in an election is racist, but he’s right on the doorstep now. We’re maybe two weeks away from that argument. Less, I figure, if Rasmussen’s tracker is right about Romney inching back into the lead nationally. Granted, he doesn’t utter the R-word here, but it’s clear enough from his “I don’t like the look of it” sneer plus the fact that this is, after all, Chris Matthews, and therefore all critiques of Republican antagonism towards Obama must ultimately devolve into an accusation of racism. The punchline is that the famously ambitious Romney has actually been running for president since 2005 at the latest, and probably since before that. I can’t believe anyone on either side, save Matthews, thinks he wouldn’t have given it another go this time if Hillary had won the presidency four years ago instead.

If limited government types quit giving this Matthews character the time of day, his career would dry up. Yes, know thy enemy, but this Mathews character is too hyperbolic to take seriously. Let Mathews make his living off the retarded idiots called “informed” democrats; if that is allowed to happen and rational people would ignore him, his net worth would crumble.

Internal polls must be exactly the opposite of what they’re crowing about in the papers, news shows and on the Internet.

One would like to think that the vast majority would see this stuff emanating from MSNBC and elsewhere as the foolishness that it is. Unfortunately, there are people who believe this stuff...

Disdain for Obama adds a lot to his appeal.

Obama is a POS.

These people are insulted because the Republicans even dared to field a candidate to run against “The One.”

If that is 'disdain'; then what does Obama's 'running against Bush for over four years; mean, Chris?

Clearly, Chris does think Obama is a deserving messiah of sorts.

Respect HIM! (*We get it, Chris. . .but we definitely, don't have to believe it.)

Why is everything 'so personal' with these people? Cannot have a legitimate disagreement; that it is NOT a 'personal drama'; being played out.

Liberalism seems a 'bi-politic' . . .

Few people do. Look at the size of his audience. And understand that most pay no attention.

Last I looked, I calculated that a total of 714 viewers nationally were paying attention. That's roughly the population of Elmore City, OK.

12 regular viewers and a poodle saw this...

Where's PETA? The poodle shouldn't be subjected to MSNBC against its will.

The “funny” thing is, funny probably not being the correct word, (and yes I’m voting for Romney, Obama’s gotta go) is that the semi-sane Chris Matthews of about 10 years ago would probably have liked a moderate candidate like Mitt Romney, to some extent. But I don’t know if it’s in his MSNBC contract or he’s just literally gone insane but he will say and do anything for Obama. We’ll probably find out in a few years Matthews did something the DNC has been holding over his head for years now and it drove him completely mad.
