MSNBC's Matthews Derides 'Neocons' & 'Moral Majority' as 'Droppings' of Dem Party Like Segregationists
During MSNBC coverage of the Republican Party Iowa caucuses on Tuesday, shortly after 8:30 p.m, MSNBC's Chris Matthews lumped "neocons" and the socially conservative Moral Majority movement in with segregationist Dixiecrats as he asserted that Republicans had picked up the "droppings" and the "effluent" of the Democratic Party, causing the Republican Party to be too "junk laden" to open their minds to Ron Paul's far-left anti-war views. (Video below)
The MSNBC host began:
Well, I think the Republican Party has, unfortunately for it, built itself over the droppings of the Democratic Party for about 50 years. First of all, they picked up all the Dixiecrats, all the segregationists who went from the Democratic Party after the civil rights bill of '64 and the Voting Rights Act.
He soon asserted that Republicans are "so junk laden with these droppings for the Democratic Party they can't think," and blamed "the neocons" for Republican refusal to consider Ron Paul's left-wing views on foreign policy.
Matthews concluded:
Their mind is closed because of these droppings they've picked up from the Democratic Party. The neocons have closed down their mind just like the segregationists closed down their mind about civil rights and the moral majority closed down their minds about social issues. The party is dying of this intake, effluent from the Democratic Party. That's my thought.
Below is a transcript of the relevant portion of Matthews's comments as stated at about 8:35 p.m. on Tuesday, January 3, on MSNBC:
Well, I think the Republican Party has, unfortunately for it, built itself over the droppings of the Democratic Party for about 50 years. First of all, they picked up all the Dixiecrats, all the segregationists who went from the Democratic Party after the civil rights bill of '64 and the Voting Rights Act. They all became Republicans because the Republicans were seen as the more rightist party.
Then, of course, you've got the Moral Majority who left after the prayer decision. They all moved over there. And now you've got the neocons who are formerly liberal - some of them - all moved over there. They are so junk laden with these droppings for the Democratic Party they can't think.
If they could think, if they were a dynamic political party, they would listen to Ron Paul because they would hear in him the voice of Barry Goldwater, the old conservative party that took a reasonable view towards foreign policy, that wasn't crazy about this religious zeal to go to war in the Middle East over and over and over again, that wasn't moved around by the neocons. It would be a party that could think about foreign policy.
The Republican Party today can't open its mind to Ron Paul's reasonable question: How can we keep over extending ourselves in the world at no cost? Because there is a cost. It keeps driving us into more and more involvement in foreign policy. More and more defense spending because of more and more involvement. And yet they can't think.
And I think everybody tonight has said so. Their mind is closed because of these droppings they've picked up from the Democratic Party. The neocons have closed down their mind just like the segregationists closed down their mind about civil rights and the moral majority closed down their minds about social issues. The party is dying of this intake, effluent from the Democratic Party. That's my thought.

Seething Rage building inside Leftist media Hacks
Submitted by ChrisNH on Tue, 01/03/2012 - 10:54pm.
It was all caviar and champagne in early 2009 as beloved Leftist media hero OBAMA was seated on his throne by the likes of Matthews, Olbermann, et al. Since then, these Leftist media hacks have been an enraged lot, and you can see the toll it's taking. Some of the more limp-wristed in the cabal have retired or have moved on to 'pursue other opportunities'...unable, obviously, to stomach the year ahead.
Matthews and the other leftist media hacks are on the cusp of self-immolation. 2012 should be a wonderful opportunity to see them combust.
Okay, NOW I'm offended

Chris Matthews is a steaming POS, and should be taken off the air, post haste.

What's the liberal fascination with Dixiecrats?
First of all, they were racists Democrats. Second, they were way back in 1948, Third, the movement lasted less than a year. Fourth, they were DEMOCRATS.
I bet if you polled democratic voters, the majority would say that Dixiecrats were racists Republicans.
Sheeesh.

They get all their mileage out of Strom Thurmond. They conveniently forget Sheets Byrd, AlGore Sr., and the rest of the racist Dems that stayed put until they lost or history (conveniently) forgot reminding us what they stood for.

I see Chris has not grown beyond the "anal" stage in Freudian development. That explains a hell of a lot if you believe in Sigmund's theories. I don't, but so many soft fuzzy types do that Chris is likely to find a good bu(tt)ddie with his leg tingling.

MSNBC's Chris Mathews derides himself when facts are exposed.
Submitted by Randy131 on Wed, 01/04/2012 - 10:59am.
Chris Mathews always hides facts when he attempts to degrade superior conservative concepts, but once they are exposed, those facts make Chris Mathews look like the deranged inconsequential liberal he is. As far as what costs our nation, concerning what we can't afford and is driving us to bankruptcy and the destruction of the US Dollar, through the unserviceably high national debt, caused by Obama's annually record setting deficits, are the liberal originated social entitlements that are unConstitutional, but that never stopped a Democrat from pressing on with them, and not the cost of our military and national defense, which the US Constitution authorizes and mandates, but those unConstitutional liberal entitlements cost three times more than the Constitutional authorized military and national defense budgets. Also Republican votes in Congress for the civil rights bill of 1964, more than doubled the Democrats votes in Congress, and the Voting Rights Act majority of votes were also cast by the Republicans, proving that Cris mathews heroes, the liberal Democrats, to which he ascribes to be a member, were the true segregationalists, but he tries to stigamatize the Republicans because a few of the Democratic segregationalist, and only a few that were dominantly from the south, then switched Parties. Considering all the facts changes the outlook toward a more truthful picture.
Matthews has a rabbit-scat mind

Matthews just loves the word "droppings." He loves calling Republicans "droppings." He's a little rotten kid playing in sh-- er, droppings.
He's the quintessential Democrat -- he doesn't argue political issues, and he can't argue substantively. He can just fling feces and call names, while slobbering and spitting like Sylvester Puddy-tat.
Matthews is an old gas-bag.

Matthews is an old gas-bag. Last night during the Iowa caucus reporting, he was either on something or up past his bedtime. Either that or the broken liberal record in his mouth is scratched.
