Chris Matthews: "Looking Down Our Noses At The Tea Party Has Got To Stop"

CHRIS MATTHEWS: I was listening to [David] Brat last night, and today. I hink he's very sophisticated for a politician. He's certainly up to the ranks of most politicians I've ever dealt with. He speaks in a speculative manner and an intellectual manner. He can handle any debate on this program or my program. This looking down our noses at tea party people has got to stop. They have a message, they're as American as any liberal is, and they're really angry about the failure of the system. I was over covering eastern Europe when the wall came down. The thing people didn't like, it wasn't the philosophy of communism they didn't like, it was the complete corruption of it, the failure of it to deliver to working people. And that's what this system's doing right now. We can't control the deficit, we can't control the debt, we can't control the border. What is government good at? And that's the question that's happened on every issue we've covered on our show.

The libs just don’t know how to destroy him yet. They need time to make up the lies

Aha! You might be on to something here. maybe they're trying to butter Brat up, so he'll come on for interviews and then at the right time, they will all work synchronistically to tear him down!

No. Brat is no Akin. The guy is solid in his field and would make any LIbEral look stupid, in a hurry. Just the mere suggestion, that he is in any way affiliated with the Tea Party, drives them stinking bonkers.

It's a wonderful thing, isn't it? They see an, out-of-nowhere Republican candidate, sound like a actual professor compared to their kindergarten Lightbringer.

He’s hit his “broken clock” issue.

“We can’t control the deficit, we can’t control the debt, we can’t control the border. What is government good at? And that’s the question that’s happened on every issue we’ve covered on our show.”

Proof that even the terminally foolish can be woken up a tad when hit over the head with a hammer a hundred times.

Don’t worry. He’ll think long and hard on it, and come to the totally wrong conclusion, just like every other DC insider.

Remember Rush once had him as a sub host for his program. Once during the '96 campaign Matthews observed that "Bob Dole is ten times the man Bill Clinton will ever be." Then he sank back into the fog. Go figure.

You're right... it happens and it's strange...
