Liberal MSNBC anchor Chris Matthews on Monday revealed his favorite campaign ad of 2012: The outrageous commercial that features Congressman Paul Ryan murdering an elderly woman by throwing her off a cliff. Before playing a portion, Matthews enthused, "Let me show you the ad that I have to like the most in this campaign." [See video below. MP3 audio here.]
Spinning the philosophy of the presumptive Republican vice presidential nominee as "screw the poor," Matthews opined on the broader message: "But here is a party that believes this stuff...It is true. It's not just party rhetoric. It is true."
Chris Matthews Loves the Ryan-Killing-Granny Ad
Again, the commercial shows a Ryan stand-in sending a grandmother to her screaming death. Matthews gushed, "That ad reflects what the Ryan budget is all about. If you're rich, we take care of you. If you're poor, off the cliff."
The Hardball anchor even lectured Steve Israel, the Chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee on strategy, directing, "I would give every member of Congress who is running, every challenger who is running on your side, get them all on the phone and sing the words together. Just get used to singing in unison: They're out to get rid of Medicare."
Matthews' argument is completely false. Ryan's plan, over a decade, would increase spending from $3.6 trillion to $4.9.
In an unintentionally funny moment, Matthews felt the need to explain that the old woman in the ad didn't really die: "Well, I assume the people who put that ad out used a dummy to throw grandma off the cliff. They didn't actually throw that actor of the cliff."
Matthews first made his accusation that Ryan wants to "screw" poor people on Saturday.
A transcript of the August 13 exchange is below:
CHRIS MATTHEWS: Let me show you the ad that I have to like the most in this campaign. It's an ad that has a familiar look to it. Let's take a look at the granny off the cliff ad for a second.
[Video of "Paul Ryan" murdering the elderly woman by throwing her off the cliff.]
CHRIS MATTHEWS: Well, I assume the people who put that ad out used a dummy to throw grandma off the cliff. They didn't actually throw that actor of the cliff, the older actor or at least the one looking old. This ad basically makes the point that we're going into a society, if the Republicans win with Ryan, that basically makes sure we don't waste any money on people who need money and we make sure that people who get rich have a little more incentive to be rich. This is an amazing- I mean, I read Fountainhead growing up. I know it was a nice story. But here is a party that believes this stuff. Incentivize the rich. Screw the poor, and screw older people who don't have much to defend themselves with. It is true. It's not just party rhetoric. It is true.
REP. STEVE ISRAEL (Chairman, Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee) : It is true. No, no. Look, a budget is a statement of our priorities and values. The Ryan budget statement is if you're a senior citizen, we end the Medicare benefit for you and it costs you up to an additional $6,300. But if you're a millionaire, you get a bigger tax cut. That ad reflects what the Ryan budget is all about. If you're rich, we take care of you. If you're poor, off the cliff.
MATTHEWS: What I would do with you, and you're an expert, as an amateur I used to work in your business of politics, I would give every member of Congress who is running, every challenger who is running on your side, get them all on the phone and sing the words together. Just get used to singing in unison: They're out to get rid of Medicare. They're giving all the money to the rich. Say that every minute of your life.
They’ve also got one of Congressman Allen West punching out an old lady.
Fags like Matthews love those commie BS ads about Romney killing union wives and Ryan killing granny. I’m heartbroken over the number of coal miners’ wives who are going to get cancer and die due to the Fluken Kenyan putting all of the coal miners out of work. It’s going to be a sad day but I don’t think the “media” will put any heat on their Kenyan boy.
Chrissie is mentally ill. MSNBC is exploiting a mentally ill person, just like they did with Olbermann and Ed Schultz.
Matthews sucks
So let’s make an ad of Obama murdering Uncle Sam... It’s more believable!
Why does Scott Whitlock join Matthews’ five other viewers in watching this tripe? He must have Candy’s “death wish.”
let’s ratchet it up.....put some kids on Uncle Sam’s lap.
Obamacare is the one setting up death panels; oh, they aren’t calling them that, but . . . .
The reason Matthews likes it the most is because he fantasizes about pushing elderly people over cliffs.
Thanks Kaslin.
Amen.
Need also to make videos of our grandchildren in debt to preditor nations. Future Chinese overlords laughing at the stupidity of our present leaders and policies. To me, this is also highly believable.
To Hell with Chris Mathews, I want that tingle down his leg to be replaced with a chill down his spine.

Already done!
My favorite ad is where they have a focus group watching Chris Matthews and an orange traffic cone. They ask the focus group which one they like best, and they unanimously pick the orange traffic cone.
How can anyone go on Chrissy’s show without a spit shield???? It’s disgusting to watch on tv...can’t imagine the horror of sitting across the desk from Spitty, umm I mean Chrissy with that spit flying from his globby fat mouth!!
“So let’s make an ad of Obama murdering Uncle Sam... It’s more believable!”
