Chris Matthews: Rand Paul, Ted Cruz "political terrorists" on a mission to blow up America

this guy accused Paul of "treason" a few months ago for trying to lower taxes or something.

They are political terrorists. And like all terrorists including those that use bombs, their number one goal-- their only goal-- is to blow things up.


Cruz, Paul, and Mike Lee are on a mission to destroy...the American government.

yeh, he's on my list.

Chris Matthews is on a mission to just blow

 

[Christian Liberty]

How stupid is he?

A conservative, a guy none of us have even figured out yet (Or at least I haven't) and an Israel-first borderline neo-con are trying to "Bring down the US government."

If they're terrorists, I guess Ron is Adolf Hitler

 

[AuH20]

Wait a minute!! Rand, Mike, and Ted took us out of the Bretton Woods system? What is this guy talking about?

 

[specsaregood]

yeh, he's on my list.

speaking of Matthews. remember when msnbc smeared Rand for 24hours on that CRA thing, then they trotted out Matthews to issue the "correction" admitting Rand did not actually say he wouldn't vote against the CRA? I've been searching for a tube of that for awhile now and have come up empty. It appears to have been whitewashed from the net. if anybody has/can find a copy I'd appreciate it.

Rand held a press conference the day after his Maddow appearance saying he would have voted for it, which to my knowledge was the first time he'd publicly stated that he'd have done so.

According to McCain during the 2008 primaries, yes that would be correct.

From two months ago but germane to the OP:



Maybe Matthews wanted Rand in the Senate with the goal of trying to marginalize him. I cannot forget that Matthews destroyed Jack Conway in that outdoor interview leading up to the general election in 2010. I still wonder why..

Two observations about the video:

1) Rand Paul has a two-and-half year voting record and hours of speeches. So Liz Winstead has, indeed, had plenty of time to "get to know" Rand Paul.

2) The other guest (Dana Milbank) called Rand an "intellectual." I like that.

 

[Christian Liberty]

The CRA is a more important issue than I think most of us think it is. It undermines the Constitution AND the freedom of association. That's a very important issue.

At the end of the day, I obviously know Rand agrees with us, even if he does dance around it.

Rand held a press conference the day after his Maddow appearance saying he would have voted for it, which to my knowledge was the first time he'd publicly stated that he'd have done so.

Right, but for 24hours they ran with the meme that Rand said on maddow that he would have NOT voted for it, they even put up an incorrect transcript on their website claiming that. Then after a full day, they trotted out Matthews to issue the correction, admitting he did NOT say he wouldn't have voted for it. that's what I've been trying to find.

These red worms actually provide a service to mankind whereas the two red wriggling worms on either side of Matthews gassy pie hole deliver nothing but evil for mankind. Sort of a reverse composting thing with Matthews, a re-putrefaction of sorts.



Sorry kids, but that's about all you get from me in a Matthews thread.:o

They did that with Ron, not Rand. I believe it was a CNN Sunday morning interview that you're referencing.

Man I need the power he has to see into the heart of a man and know what he really wants/believes. Anyone that sinks to character attacks instead of using reason to dismantle someone elses arguments, has already failed and should not be allowed a place on the national stage.

No, they did it with Rand. Ron has always said he would have voted against the CRA.

No, they did it with Rand. Ron has always said he would have voted against the CRA.

There was a transcript of Ron that stated he wouldn't have voted to repeal Jim Crow laws, when he had in fact (as he always had) said the opposite. Sure that wasn't it?

Nope. Here is a post about it.

PAUL: I mean, I think you've been fair, but if your network all day says a lie about my position, I won't come back on. So I think journalists, good journalists understand that you have to present both sides, you ask tough questions. But you can't go on and then as a journalist misrepresent something. And I think even they realize they overstepped their bounds on that because they are now saying what my correct position is and have admitted it never was my position otherwise.

That wasn't MSNBC putting out an incorrect transcript, that was them running under the assumption that since Rand hadn't publicly stated he'd have voted for the CRA, but had publicly said multiple times that he had issues with it, he would have voted against it. Not really that big a leap, if you ask me. Rand was spinning there.

Unless you're talking about this:

Chris Matthews is one of the biggest pundits for ever bigger Govt that I have ever seen. Anything that comes out of his mouth should be considered to be as foul as his breath.
