Chris Matthews Compares Debating ‘Angry’ Rural GOP Voters to Fighting Terrorists
Breitbart ^ | 12/27/2023 | Pam Key

Posted on 12/27/2023 11:51:56 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

MSNBC political commentator Chris Matthews said Tuesday on “Morning Joe” that debating rural voters over their support for former President Donald Trump was “like fighting terrorism.”

Matthews said, “I tell you, it’s very tough, because people that didn’t go to college have a pretty good rage on their hands. That’s what you really want in an election, is a rage. It can be black rage, or white rage, or rural rage. In this case is rural rage. They are so angry at the liberal establishment, the coastal elite. They look at people on television, they say, ‘Oh, those people on Saturday Night Live those snarling rich kids, I know who they are. They’re all trust funders. They don’t need us, they don’t have to worry about us.’ And the regular guy in the country goes, ‘There they are snarling and making fun of us again.’ And every time we make fun of Trump, we’re making fun of them.”

Matthews says the rural are dupes and not smart like him because they lack college degrees, thus they are incapable to figure anything out and are weak-minded and easily influence. Aside from the insult, he has nothing to back it up except casting aspersions.

This is an argument “by reference to authority”, essentially “I’m right because it says so right here that I’m right”.

It is a false logic that carries no weight and would disqualify you from a scored debate. But, hey, the MSM broadcasts it so it must be so.

I hold bachelor’s and advanced degrees, a city dweller, and jumped aboard the Trump Train in Dec. 2015. How am I explained, Chrissy?

Amen. Hub is a 20-year USN Vet, Double Math Major College Educated Teacher, GI Bill, who taught 20 years as an Associate Prof. For a JR Tech College, and ended as Dept. Chair. We are sick of WOKE, CRT, TAXES, and CRIME. BAD Schools can be added to that.

“people that didn’t go to college have a pretty good rage on”

Who is chanting for Jewish genocide? Who is burning cities in the name of “justice” for whatever?” Why, it’s college students. And where are they learning the hate in their hearts? Why, it’s college professors.

Don’t get me wrong, we have more than our share of the near-brain dead here in the South. I just don’t think that is endemic to the South. I have found that to be true everywhere I go.

I personally just try to pay attention to issues that matter, compare news coverage to what ends up being the truth, and favor news sources I have found to be most reliable. That is how I landed here on FreeRepublic years ago. Our biggest problem is that way too many people do not do their due diligence on news and news sources. The elites know that and it is why they strong-arm main stream news outlets to lie and misrepresent with impunity to promote their agenda. It seems, however, that the tide is beginning to change. Maybe it’s not too late.

I’m with you. I didn’t know Chris Matthew’s was still around. I thought maybe he was drooling away in some blue state old folks charity home.

David Brooks is the one that knew Zero would be POTUS when he got a look at the crease in his pants. He was 1/2 the Brooks/ Shields team on PBS. *spit*

If THEY view us as terrorists, what choice do they have other than to destroy us (ideally by torturing us first).

We might want to think about the above when we get angry at so-and-so GOP Senator and decide it would be better to let the Democrat win, in other words to enable those who view us as terrorists to rule over us.

I know, it’s just words by those people, and words don’t mean anything when one is pissed at our GOP Senator, but less than 100 years ago, words from a little guy with a mustache did mean something...and ignoring those words cost them their lives, millions of them.

Dictators consider all opposition to be “terrorists”.

Strange I never heard of this story or David Brooks before. I knew all the other crap about his father and his lover Reggie Love and other crap while he was senator.

CALLER: Thank you. Mega dittos, Rush. Hey, I was just wondering, I’ve been a fan of the show for a long time, and has Chris Matthews ever guest hosted your show?
RUSH: Yes, he has.
CALLER: And why did you do that.
RUSH: Well, you know, there was a time that… Help me out on this, Snerdley. It was the mid-nineties, right?
CALLER: Yeah, at least that long ago. It’s been a long time, way before he ever came out as being more liberal. You know, for a time there he was almost conservative.

RUSH: Well, in part. But when we put him on as a guest host we knew that he wasn’t full-fledged conservative, but we did it just as a change of pace.
CALLER: Okay.

Dems don’t debate, they either change the subject, ignore the facts, resort to name calling, or try to shout down their opponent. Chris continues to make his living by selling his soul to the enemies of America.

Ages ago, Jim White said”you just can’t fix stupid”. He was of course correct, but that does not mean that stupid people are not dangerous. BEWARE!

No it was Matthew’s with the tingle.
Brooks was impressed by the neat crease in Obama’s pants “ I was looking at his pant leg and his perfectly creased pant,”
Continueing “ I think he’s more talented than anyone in my lifetime. I mean, he is pretty dazzling when he walks into a room. So, that’s why it’s important he doesn’t fuck this up.”
