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.

A new house in the Hamptons this time?
Yep - it officializes that they want Bernie to be gone....he’s the only honest one in the bunch and makes no bones about what he is.
Hate to break it to Matthews but this is going to happen if ANY democrat wins.
bttt
“There isn’t a dime’s difference between Bernie and the rest of the field, except that he believes what he is saying.”
Is he really crazy and stupid enough to believe what comes out of his own mouth? I would think someone that stupid would die young by failure to remember to inhale.
