Chris Matthews Is Not a Fan of This Bowe Bergdahl Deal

MSNBC’s Chris Matthews doesn’t seem to have gotten the channel’s memo on the Bowe Bergdahl deal.

Many liberal pundits on his network have shown nearly lockstep support for the Obama administration’s handling of the trade of five Taliban commanders for Bergdahl, who’s been accused of desertion by many of his fellow soldiers. However, Matthews, usually a huge fan of the president, has sharply criticized the cost of the trade, the national security consequences of releasing dangerous “Johnnies” as he put it, the actions of Bergdahl himself and the legality of Obama’s action.

In his closing statement Wednesday night, Matthews called it a “nasty deal” that was “driven by our enemies,” and he’s clashed with numerous guests this week about their support for it.

Nothing but a faker that is playing the game of showing that he is not hapy with the clown.

I was wondering myself if this is Obama’s Walter Cronkite moment


Nope. This is just a chance for the MSNBC official Obama Propaganda to “take a tough stand” against Obama on a low stakes issue that Obama has already lost on anyway to rebuild their street cred so when the time comes for them to run interference for Obama during the IRS, VA and Benghazi scandals, they will say, “and you all know how hard I was on Obama for the Bergdahl /Taliban 5 because that was a real issue, but this current ________(fill in the Blank) scandal is just Republicans playing politics)”

“...Chris Matthews Is Not a Fan of This Bowe Bergdahl Deal...”

The only reason they’re “not a fan” of this deal is because they know Dear Leader stepped on his own crank - AGAIN - and they’ve been carrying his water for so long, at the expense of their OWN credibility.

They can only defend the indefensible for just so long before it starts wearing on them.

That's true for the normal person.

Unfortunately, these people aren't normal in any sense of the word, they're the card carrying members of the totalitarian left.

They'll cluck a bit today, but be back to circling the wagons and furthering the agenda of the totalitarian left tomorrow. It's who they are.......

Lake, you are spot-on...

“...They’ll cluck a bit today, but be back to circling the wagons...”

Maybe. But this seems to be the first time even an ass-kisser like Chris Matthews has “had it” with FuBO.

Sometimes, the dam breaks... even a crack is still a break.

Chris Matthews??? You mean Tweety? I thought he died in a grease fire.

Seriously, I forgot he existed.

He’s “outraged”, evidently.

Dear Leader stuck it to him again, and he’s having a hard time dealing with it.

Like LakeShark said, though: He’ll get over it, and help circle the wagons in a few days or so.

Psychopaths are like that, after all.

They are the definition of the term “useful idiot”.

“...“useful idiot”....”

I was thinking more on the line of “willing collaborator”... you know, words mean things.

Might come in handy at the next version of the Nuremberg trials.

Just sayin’....

I see. Sure!

Although, I’d skip the trial and sentencing portions and move directly to punishment.

Then bill their estates for the costs.

Nah, we’re the Good Guys. Due process, the works. Then all the rest, absolutely.

Time to stop being so “good”. “They” count on that.

Let “them” learn: When you push your Utopia too far, the laws of the jungle come into play, and you are eliminated.

EVERYthing these liberals do for the next two years has one goal: To get Mrs. Bill “I sold Missile-guidance technology to the ChiComs” Clinton into the White House. The left will turn on Obammie the Commie now for one reason: to destroy Joe Biden.

Interesting... you might be right.

This is strange, but I believe at one point in his life - when he was younger - Matthews was a good man.

Just thought of something...

What if instead of Hillary (who might not run anyhow because she's too old and has lots of stinky baggage) they want Biden? Impeach Obama - have Obama step down - and voila Biden becomes an acceptable, mildly likable incumbent. And we're stuck with an idiot for another four years...

Ford never could have won a presidential election on his own... lacked the 'driven' personality for it.

Anything is possible with these fascists.

But they will never, ever impeach Obama. They had to use Biden, but he has been a huge streak mark on their undies.

They need to destroy him, but they need to do so in such a way that someone in the administration, who can claim to have supported ‘most’ of the agenda but has a ‘new’ and ‘fresh’ perspective can step in and take over where Biden could not. Biden will either retire to ‘spend time with family’ or he will be Fostered.

Hillary will run no matter what. You can count on that. She is ten times the egomaniac and political climber that Obammie the Commie is.

She considers making history as the first woman president to be her birthright.

Here entire life has led to this moment.
