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.

Like LBJ ... Obama must be thinking that if he has lost Matthews, then he has lost the country.

Fun to watch, but it is not a tipping point. These vile Leftists are committed to their anti-American cause.

The White Hut will never lose Chrissy. His only tingle deviation was the BP oil spill. Since then he’s been full knee pad.

That may be, but Obama no longer cares what anyone thinks.

Obamalamadingdong has lost nothing since Chrisy Matthews is a nobody. Matthews will regain his Progressive Socialist Democrat tendencies and be back on the Republicans are Satan bandwagon soon enough.

Everything, and I mean 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. They will claim it is a team effort and while Obammie the Commie was one of the best presidents in our history, the TEAM took it a bit too far and we need someone like Hitlery, who has the same ideology...but who is more MODERATE, to take it from here.

The guy on the right has some kind of long stain down the inside of his pant leg and that guy on the far left is really creepy – especially when his Adam's Apple jumps around when he gets excited!

RE:”(Tipping Point) Chris Matthews Is Not a Fan of This Bowe Bergdahl Deal”

I been watching itbut its nothing compared to The Morning Joe.

Mika turned against it many days ago and she and Joe are ripping the few souls on the show that might defend it.

Ezra Klien tried to defend it today and Joe yells at him “Hell yes I would leave him there” and “Hell yes he was a bad father telling to it was OK to desert", with Mika supporting him.

I DVRed the show and I couldn't pull away from much of it when playing it back, it was too rich.

They are really ripping Obama on this, and its day after day.

Oh boy. If Matthews ain’t happy with something Obama did, maybe WE need to reassess. We may have missed something. I am going to get out my magnifying glass and go over every story of the trade I can find. There has got to be something, anything.

This is little different from when Mister Graham or Mister McCain pretend to be conservatives for a day.

It's merely an act, begging for some cred.

No dice.

I'm not that easily fooled.

Just a case of temporary sanity - it won’t last.

“That may be, but Obama no longer cares what anyone thinks.”

Correct. Obama has gone rogue and he doesn’t care who he hurts to get his agenda enacted. Democrats haven’t caught on yet, but Obama said he had a ‘pen’ and EO’s so he does not need them nor does he care if they are reelected.

Chris Matthews, the mainstream media, know that Obama has now made journalists PRIME target for hostage taking.

They’ve dutifully kissed Obama arse for five years and their payback is to watch their colleagues languish and/or die.

They aren’t down for that struggle, they don’t do adversity...that’s for lowly production assistants and such.

Exactly. It’s going to be fun to watch when they do catch on. They will be between a Barack and a hard place.
