Matthews Hints at Romney's 'Bad' Motives for Confronting Obama: Mitt 'Looks Down' on the Pres
NewsBusters ^

Posted on 10/17/2012 6:25:28 PM PDT by chessplayer

Liberal MSNBC anchor Chris Matthews on Wednesday hinted that Mitt Romney's confrontational attitude during the debates might have a sinister undertone. After playing a clip of the Republican telling the President to back off and that "you'll get your chance" to speak, Matthews derided, "...Through it all he looked down at the President. He looked down at him as a person."

As for the reason, Matthews began to speculate and then backed off: "I don't even want to get into-- but we can guess and none of it good." (The left-wing journalist sees racism everywhere.) After guest James Lipton considered a motive, Matthews cut him off and suggested that "many" of the possibilities are "bad." He also somehow derided Romney as a constitutional illiterate for questioning Obama.

Matthews fumed, "I don't think he understands the Constitution of the United States. He's the president of the United States. You don't say, 'you'll get your chance.'"

Dear Chris Matthews...

Obama is not a god. He is a man responsible for his success and failures.

As President, he is answerable to the American people and if the the press had any cajones...he would be accountable to you too.

Is Matthews suggesting President Obama is not man enough to defend himself? Like him or not, he is man enough to defend himself and doesn’t need the likes of Matthews-pissy-shivers-running-up-a-leg defending him. What an insult to black men everywhere.

Chris Mathews never looks down on the President. How can he when being on his knees places him a zipper height.

Hey Matthews, you Constitutionally illiterate schmuck, the President works for the people. He's not a King! He's not God! He's not the supreme being! And, Obozo has earned being looked down upon, just as did Jimmy Carter.

In any debate, he who looks up to his competitor loses.

Oh this is rich. If memory serves me I believe that BO has spent the last four years looking down his nose at all of us.
