Chris Matthews: Support Gun Control or an American President Could Be Murdered

In a closing commentary on Wednesday, Hardball's Chris Matthews ranted that opposing gun control could lead to the assassination of a future American president or politician. Matthews fumed that he supports new restrictions because "the next mass shooter could well emerge out of this pack" of the "politically nutty."

He lobbied, "Check the shooters of John F. Kennedy and Jerry Ford, who got out twice. Look at the men that shot Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King and Malcolm X and George Wallace. They all had political motives and they all had guns." In the very next sentence, Matthews sneered, "And if you're not against this movement, you're with it."

The liberal MSNBC anchor closed by urging his followers to fight for gun control: "Write your congressman and say what you think and what you feel. Do it tonight before you go to bed."

Grossly irresponsible rhetoric.

Comcast needs to rein in that asshole.

I thought Matthews liked the preezy why would he threaten him like that?

[SandRat]

He'll claim 1st Amendment protection and that he wasn't making a threat, but only postulating on a an unspecified possible right wing threat.

This could be a ricochet romance.

obama might not have lrt him give him a bj when he wanted too.ie. obama may have a new boyfriend.

[ConservativeStatement]

Deplorable rhetoric.

I kind of see it the other way around, Chrissie.

[Le Chien Rouge]

Chris Mathews is just projecting the lefts love of violence.

If a conservative is elected in 2016, Lee Harvey Matthews will probably pull the trigger himself.

[AlexW]

Only pissy Chrissy is dumb enough to think that gun control would stop an assassin.

Mr. Matthews is shouting FIRE - has he committed a crime? Apparently not...unbalanced people are the norm for Progressives. The story would be much different if Hannity, Rush, Malkin etc, had said the same thing...it it would be a crime!

[dforest]

Why would anyone want to kill him? Tar and feathering would be more satisfying.

[Jane Long]

An overt threat.

This could incite trouble...for Chrissy.

He forgot to mention that presidential assassins are uniquely either left wing or totally insane, or both. Seriously, go down the list, not just of assassins but attempted assassins. Every single one is like Chris Matthews and his kind.
