Chris Matthews: I Don’t Care How The Mother Of Murdered Benghazi Victim Felt,

CLEVELAND, OHIO - MSNBC’s Chris Matthews kept it classy (I kid of course) in his commentary on Patricia Smith’s address to the Republican National Convention. Smith is the mother of Sean Smith, one of four Americans who were killed in Benghazi by Islamic terrorists. Smith said that her son was wonderful, and she blames Hillary Clinton personally for his death. She also said that Hillary told her that a video was responsible for the attack. Matthews thought it was wrong for her to go up there on stage and tell lies about Hillary Clinton. He also said that it ruined the Republicans' evening, though with Melania Trump's speech repeatedly being plagiarized that might be the low point of the night.  (via The Hill):

Chris Matthews: GOP ‘Ruined Their Evening’ with Benghazi Victim’s Mother’s Speech

For all of this loss, for all of this grief, for all of the cynicism, the tragedy in Benghazi has wrought upon America, I blame Hillary Clinton," Smith declared from the convention stage in Cleveland on Monday night. "I blame Hillary Clinton personally for the death of my son."

[…]

"In an email to her daughter shortly after the attack, Hillary Clinton blamed it on terrorism," said Smith. "But when I saw Hillary Clinton at Sean’s coffin ceremony, just days later, she looked me squarely in the eye and told me a video was responsible. Since then, I have repeatedly asked Hillary Clinton to explain to me the real reason why my son is dead. I’m still waiting."

[…]

"I don't understand why the Republicans would choose to put this on prime-time television when they have such wonderful stories of American heroism to speak to the American people," an emotional Matthews said. "I think it was wrong.

"I don't care what that woman up there, the mother, has felt," he continued. "Her emotions are her own. But for the country in choosing a leader, it's wrong to have someone get up there and tell a lie about Hillary Clinton. It's not true. It's logically not true. I think it's wrong that they ruined their evening with this."

Friendly Reminder: As with anything, it’s only wrong when the Republicans do it.

Yeah, it's just awful when a presidential campaign spotlights grieving family members to win votes, right? pic.twitter.com/jUErsvtP07— jimgeraghty (@jimgeraghty) July 19, 2016

Hmmm, interesting. Apparently he doesn’t like to see little people speaking truth to power.

Mr Matthews, you have now entered into MY ARENA! You have made the declarative statement of; “It’s logically not true.” Where is your definitive statement of ‘fallacy’? Where is your Truth Table?

Do you even have an inkling of what I am talking about? Oh, that is right, you work for a non-truth media bias outfit called MSNBC! Your use of statements involving the use of the word ‘logic’ is illogical. Both Spock and Inigo Montoya have declared you anathema to the concept of logic!

Vizzini: HE DIDN’T FALL? INCONCEIVABLE.
Inigo Montoya: You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Matthews is a textbook protected MSM coward.
If he, and his ilk, ever had to stand and deliver on any issue, he would be seem running away crying.

Major POS.

This reminds me of when I was in high school, I spoke to a teacher about a fellow student who had for a long time had made rude remarks towards me; basically he would lay verbal stink bombs at my feet and at my expense. I can remember this teacher using the term “small” to describe this other student and his attitude and behaviour.

Very much in a nutshell, does the term “small” effectively characterize Matthews and his attitude and his remarks such as these.

They had the “blame the video” gambit in their arsenal for quite some time so they could throw it out when the inevitable tragedy (caused by their support of terrorists) happened. It was totally pre-meditated.

Chrissie boy needs instruction regarding liars, especially about lifetime liars like Hillary or at least an attitude adjustment by our military who lay their lives on the line to protect his First Amendment rights.

Here’s to hoping that he gets everything he’s got coming to him in this life and the next.

You are one miserable bastard Chris.

Glad the hypocrisy was brought up.

Frankly, correct, the emotions of connctions don’t really matter. Facts are facts. I never like the usage of emotional impact testimony in trials,which really has no bearing on what actually happened in such and such crime.

But never count on Dems not capitalizing on emotional pleas from victims for themselves.

Naw. C’mon my FRiend. He’s just a fag. You know how irrational, emotional and illogical those types are. Mascara, make-up, g-strings, pantyhose and high heeled shoes just tend to exasperate things for men who want to be women.

Again, Crissy is just a fudge-packing, pillow-biting faggot. Let it go and Fuggettabouttit!

I wish Chris knew how many people don’t care what he thinks.

What happened to that poor guy who made the “video” and
was either detained or imprisoned briefly as a cover?
The usual MO with some of these people is to just
liquidate anyone who might “talk out of school”.

He has a third one. Matthews never said in which leg he felt the “thrill”. We can only guess.

He spent almost a year in jail. I’ve heard nothing of him since.
