Chris Matthews: Almost All Demagogues Like Trump “Died Hideously”
FinkelBlog ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 08/17/2018 4:52:57 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

So what does Chris Matthews foresee for President Trump: hanging by the ankles like Mussolini, or firing squad like Ceausescu?

On his MSNBC “Hardball” show, after former acting CIA director John McLaughlin referred to President Trump as a “tyrant,” Matthews says:

“Following your lines, I’ve often thought that demagoguery is not a good long-term career move. The only one I know that got a long-time career out of it was [Spain’s Generalissimo] Franco. The rest of them all died hideously.”

Evidently Chrissy is crotchety for having missed that thrill up his leg when he neglected to find a room so he can watch his favorite porn — a video of Obama giving a speech.

Exactly. All of them who make such threatening statements should be investigated/arrested and tried

When one says the word demagogue, the first mental picture I get is of Al Sharpton. Hmm.

You know what a hideous way to die is, Chrissy M? Getting dropped out of a helicopter. I hear when you impact you can feel the tingle up your leg.

It doesn’t sound like little Chrissy the Tingler isn’t expecting a fun and pleasant death.

get out the GOP vote...….


Absolutely right.

But I will match my hatred of the Dem-socialists who want to destroy our beloved country and endanger good conservatives like us on FR and my hatred will win.

You omitted the record holder of mass murder: Mao. But the people you named were not demagogues. They were “leaders.” Check all Deep State Media (DSM) references to these tyrants. They are 99% of the time referred to as leaders, rarely as tyrants.

I would love to see some concrete examples of PDJT’s demagoguery. I keep hearing how horrible he is and what a racist he is, yet I’ve never seen any concrete evidence.

And Chris Matthews has always come across like a demagogue wannabe...

As opposed to staying alive hideously, like Chris?

I think Chris Matthews was never hugged by his mother as a child. Something is seriously wrong with him.

I don’t see a red wave, and i hate that we are Red. I think we hold the House say 221 to 214 and pick up two in the Senate for 53-47. Good, but not a wave, and given the GOPe numbers in Congress I think POTUS still has obstacles getting stuff passed.

What tyranny? What are they talking about? President Trump has not done anything he does not have the authority to do.

“Tyrant” is a word they throw at him without regard to its meaning. Like “fascist”.
