Chris Matthews to Republicans:"Take Obamacare on the chin and shut up"

This part got me:

MATTHEWS: Well, I have to tell you, I don`t know how you fan the flames when you — when you say you don`t like something. And by the way, Congressman Stupak, I`ve got to ask you a question. I know this is rhetorical. But you know, when Bush got his way on a number of issues — forget the war. The parties agreed on that for a while there. He got a huge tax cut for the wealthy. I didn`t see the Democrats burning down the barns and sending hate mail, and you know, throwing rocks through windows. They lost a big fight on fiscal issues. They got the wrong end of the stick, you might argue. They still get it in the sense of tax policy. But they didn`t go doing this stuff. They took it on the chin.

clip

MATTHEWS: Yes, maybe — maybe the right wing should take this one on the chin, the way the liberals did when Bush did his tax cut back in the early part of this century. They just took it on the chin, no rallies, no violence, no stone-throwing, no bullets, no nothing.

Notice he says Dems protesting against Bush on the war doesnt count as dems protesting Bush. What a phony!

Chrissy must have nodded for a moment there. Perhaps she was suffering the delicious pangs of an Obama tingle, and did her arithmetic wrong.

Actually, this counts double: the Democrats voted with Bush on war powers against Saddam, to carry out the U.N. resolutions -- and then they protested anyway.

Matthews telling us "that doesn't count" is like saying a double-bogey counts the same as par, because the extra stroke cancels the original bogey putt.

Then they will claim it’s unconstitutional when they lose in November...... or say the election was stolen...

No, no -- remember, it's because Republicans are knuckle-dragging, mouth-breathing racist scum who cook and eat black babies for breakfast.

Oh, wait -- maybe that baby imagery isn't quite the best for them .... let's go back to the racist thing....

Hey Libs, take the Iraq war on the chin and shut up. Take the “Plame leak” on the chin and shut up.

How about his tax cut analogy ? That democrats never protested their tax cuts ??? LOL This shows they believe in democracy unlike us who protest when he raises out taxes.

I heard this live and told myself I have to find it and post it.

Chris will have to explain to me how a tax cut is an assault on our freedoms and civil liberties. Besides, if the libs are so upset by tax cuts, they can write checks to the IRS to make up the difference between what they are legally bound to pay and what they think they ought to pay.

I shudder to think what might have bounced off Chrissy’s chin.

You're such an idiot, Chrissy.

Who but an idiot could compare tax cuts to having Obamacare rammed down our unwilling throats?

I have what probably sounds like a stupid question.

I know that Chrissy said "It's part of reporting this case, this election, the feeling most people get when they hear Barack Obama's speech. My, I felt this thrill going up my leg. I mean, I don't have that too often." (BARF!)

Did he also say something about a "tingle?" I want to know so I can use that one against him as well. I don't remember it, but I'm frequently many time zones off-kilter and miss stuff.

Thanks!

A little late to this party but no matter, the main course (Chris 'Tingly' Matthews) is spoiled and rancid so not much difference from any other program.

What this self-exalted flannelmouth doesn't understand and IF he could pull his head out of his ass long enough to actually do some research, he would discover that 0bamaCare is not even Constitutional, and that case law in the form of Griswold vs Connecticut settled that issue back in the 60's.

With thanks again to fellow FReeper P-Marlowe for one of THE most outstanding posts of the year regarding this travesty:

Maybe someone could steer Matthews to this article, but with Chrissy's mindset he would rather be caught downloading kiddy porn than to actually be suspected of reading FR, that's how afraid he is of the truth.

After the Bush Tax RATE Cuts, the Rich paid a larger portion of Federal Income Taxes and the “poor” paid less or NO Federal Income Taxes.

Income Revenues to the Federal Government INCREASED by 40% thanks to the Bush Tax RATE Cuts.

LYING LIBERALS LYING once again. Next question Chrissy...

Noonan was probably on her second bottle of vino when she wrote this ;-)

Bingo! Noonan sees others as having her own vices.

If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is part of yourself. What isn't part of ourselves doesn't disturb us.
