Matthews: The Tea Party is just like Muslim Brotherhood-“nutbags”

Ahh your Matthews moment:Matthews is discussing the “control” the Tea Party has over the Republican Party, ultimately, he thinks hurting the party. I am surprised he cares. His guests were ultimate Democrat political hit man Mark Penn and Republicans strategist John Feehery. It didn’t take long for Matthews to drop his Tea Party bomb. The Tea Party is just like the Muslim Brotherhood. “Nutbags”! Oh brother.

Apparently Mr Matthews didn’t get the civility memo … still.

    Matthews takes the old Monty Python skit "How not to be seen" to "How not to be sane".

     

    If it weren't for Jim and the other 10 people that watch Matthews (mostly for the laughs), nobody would even know that he was spinning.  Maybe he could boost his audience by giving away cars like Oprah!  Of course, Oprah had the decency to see the handwriting on the wall and cancel her show.

    Ouch Dims!

    Although I think Oprah cacelled her show because her president told her she had "made enough".

    Or she wanted a tax break.

    Remember the story about the tequila and signing the checks to the IRS

    Oh well Jim, Chris Mathews just created new ammo for the liberals to name call the tea party movement members.

    I knew that the "No Labels" group was nothing but a big, fat nutbag joke…and that it would be the gift that kept on giving. Heeheeheeheeheeeeeeeee!

    Matthews? Needs to learn that silence is golden.

    Chris "The Thrill" Matthews "be hatin' " on Rep. Bachmann more than ever because she ridiculed him election night and ignored his ranting questions to say what she wanted to say. Mark Penn's lost more elections than the Vikings and Bills have lost Super Bowls so it's good if more and more Democrats listen to him. I just wonder how long the crazies at messinNBC (America's Aljazeera-lite) will stay on the air. With Ogreman gone to spend more time with the only person who truly loves him (himself), which of the sociopathic screaming banshees next will get the ax (figuratively speaking of course)? The Thrill? Rachel Madcow? Rosie Larry O'Donnell?

    This is what a liberal brain gone apoplectic looks like.

    I gave this post some more thought. If the Tea Party is like the Muslim Brotherhood, I, as a citizen of the world, call on President Obama to step down and ensure an orderly transition to a new government, which will include nonsecular elements of society. If this does not happen soon, we will take to the streets, chant slogans in Arabic and beat up Anderson Cooper if the coward Chris Matthews does not show up.

    1.  Matthews will find the T.E.A. Party much more tolerant of being called "nutbags" than the Muslim brotherhood will.

    2.  The T.E.A. Party is having an effect (yeah ! ) or it wouldn't be getting attention.

    3.  It is clear that both parties have yet to get beyond party and do what is right for the American people.  See # 2 for the solution to this problem.

    4.  The double standard syndrome expands incrementally. First, no one can say the "n" word unless you are black, then the you can't use hate speech ("nutbag") unless you are left leaning.
