Better dead than red … said Chris Matthews.
The MSNBC host went into a protracted monologue after the Democratic debate in New Hampshire Friday night in which he condemned the evils of socialism and warned of public executions in Central Park if it ever came to the United States.
“I have my own views of the word socialist and I’ll be glad to share them with you in private and they go back to the early 1950s,” he told a post-debate analysis panel.
“I have an attitude about them. I remember the Cold War. I have an attitude toward [Fidel] Castro,” he added. “I believe if Castro and the reds had won the Cold War there would have been executions in Central Park and I might have been one of the ones getting executed. And certain other people would be there cheering.”
Matthews declined to get into who exactly he thought would have been cheering his execution.
“I don’t know who Bernie supports over these years, I don’t know what he means by socialism. One week it’s Denmark. We’re gonna be like Denmark,” Matthews continued, mocking Sanders’ deep Brooklyn accent. “Well, what does he think of Castro? That’s a great question. What did you think of Fidelissmo?”
The moment swiftly went viral on Twitter and was picked up by pro-Trump surrogates, like campaign spokesman Tim Murtaugh. “Chris Matthews laying it down,” he said approvingly in a tweet.

“Matthews must have been told to trash Bernie.”
Agree!
Piers Morgan has been seen speaking sane things, now James Carville and Chris Matthews. You know the political body odor has to be really strong for these old Sandinistas to pipe up against the new collectivists.
Winner, winner, chicken dinner!
Agree
Democrats like Piddles Chris Matthews created this socialist monster and now it’s all out of control threatening it’s creator. So he drive the democrat bus off the cliff and now he’s trying to steer it on the way down. Chris Matthews voted first one up against the wall when the revolution comes.
Matthews is supporting the rule of law free market capitalist candidate - you know, er, well..., ah, ummmm, that would be...
Bernie Sanders. The only thing standing between O’l Crusty the pants suit, and the Whitehouse. That is in the Clintoon world, and Chrissy is all in on the Clintoon goon squad.
The question is, what does Rachel “Madcow” Maddow think?
Rumsfelds famous alligators. Chrissy has been feeding them, just knowing they’ll eat him last when the food runs out.
No use in looking at the differences between
candidates when it comes to Bernie. If he stumbles
to ultimate victory the radicals behind him will
push him aside to get the Constitution burning
party going. You can vote your way into socialism
but you’ll have to shoot your way out.
The leaders of the Trotskyite faction told Legtingler to bad talk the stalinists.
Almost all the Dem field is socialist to one degree or another.
That’s not exactly what he said. But he’s an old-line Dem and he is clearly very concerned about the radical left shift of his party. We need to encourage his type...not only because it’s highly unlikely that a Dem would win, but because even they realize that they have a dog in this race and it might be better for them to quietly support Trump than risk the alternative. In other words, I think they’ve lost the “moderate” battle and the Dem party is going to be taken over by the radical left, and they’re going to suffer.
I think the only Dems who have a chance of winning in November are the ultra-radicals, and in that case, if any of us survive the immediate economic collapse, we probably will be out there being executed in Central Park (or whatever is your closest public gathering space, for the benefit of the screaming, jeering audience, of course). And Chris Matthews will probably be among us as an “enemy of the revolution.” We laugh at this at our peril.
He’s just throwing his hat in the ring for Bloomberg.
And this from a man with a tingle up his leg.
I despised O’Neill at the time but he was a pussy compared to today’s crop.
The plan is obvious now paint Bernie as an outlier when everyone on the rat side agrees with everything he wants to do. They think the American voters are going to fall for this BS. Sadly almost half will automatically.
Sanders has made clear that his version of socialism is WELL past that of the Northern Europe countries.
Yeppir. They believe what they're told to believe.
