MSNBC's Chris Matthews is under fire after comparing Sen. Bernie Sanders

"I was reading last night about the fall of France in the summer of 1940," Matthews said during MSNBC's live coverage of the caucuses on Saturday. "And the general, Reynaud, calls up Churchill and says, 'It's over.' And Churchill says, 'How can that be? You've got the greatest army in Europe. How can it be over?' He said, 'It's over.'"

Gee, Chris, that comparison seems a little bit hyperbolic. I mean, it’s one thing to call Trump a Nazi, but it looks like comparing Bernie’s campaign to the Nazis will result in calls for you to resign.

I can see why Chris Matthews thought it was okay. He is from the “that with which I disagree is Nazi” school of opinion journalism. He’s been saying stuff like this for decades about Republicans.

That was a pretty wild comparisson, even for Chris Matthews.
Shows how desperate things have gotten.

How many had to Google the Maginot Line to read about it for the first time? Probably quite a few. I read about it yes, but some 40 years ago. Doesn’t come up in many conversations.

My only problem with all is the fact that they are pushing this BS that Bernie is an outlier so if they get one of the others in” it’s fine no worries now we have a reasoned candidate who will be good for American people” when the others are just as bad.

"Chris is a stupid, liberal bastard. But he is also not a Communist."

Lie down with dogs, get up with fleas. Once you get tarred, even by accident, it it not easily removed. Something about a "tingled leg"?

After 3 years, no prisoners.

Chris Matthews is 74 years old. Is he still working because he needs a paycheck, or is it just his ego that keeps him in front of a camera?

The Democratic Party is rapidly morphing into the DCP/DonnerCrat Party on a daily basis.

Pass the popcorn...
Love watching the Trotskyites and Bolsheviks duke it out... Most of the communists voting in these primaries and caucasses are probably wishing for another Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin (Ioseb Besarionis dze Jughashvili) to come along and "straighten" all of them out...

Hard to decide which is most important to our country's future: Marxists killing Marxists, or Moslem killing Moslems...

Kabuki.. they will sacrifice sanders because trump is unbeatable in a fair and free election by citizens. He is likely unbeatable despite all of their machinations to defraud Americans.

It’s not over until we say it is over. Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor????? Hell no.

He used to instigate these WWII tempests with Pat Buchanan and stomp him when Pat went too far.

CM is getting a small taste of his own medicine.

Nobody who is a Conservative. Anybody raised in public schools in the past 25 years definitely.
