On Monday's "Hardball" Chris Matthews scolded the Georgia Republican Party State Chair for comparing John McCain to Jesus but back in 2007 the MSNBC host declared of Bill Clinton: "There are times when he sounds like Jesus..."
First up, during the "Sideshow" segment of the May 19 show, Matthews delivered the following critique of Georgia Republican Party Chair Sue Everhart:
CHRIS MATTHEWS: Now to the most absurd analogy of the day. In praising John McCain for his stoicism while he was tortured in Vietnam, Georgia Republican Party Chair Sue Everhart had this to say about her candidate, quote, "John McCain is kind of like Jesus Christ on the cross." Well I think John Lennon made that mistake when he said the Beatles were more popular than Jesus. Let's cool it with those comparisons.
However, last year Matthews compared Bill Clinton to Jesus and actually won "Quote of the Year," for it at the MRC's 2008 DisHonors Awards. The following quote is from the February 28, 2007 edition of "Hardball:"
CHRIS MATTHEWS: When I watched him [former President Bill Clinton] at Mrs. King's funeral, I just have never seen anything like it....There are times when he sounds like Jesus in the temple.

Anybody else note the "Who
May 19, 2008 - 19:02 ET by BDAnybody else note the "Who does mcCain remind you of?' inset behind Chrissy?
I thought about it for a while and something dawned on me...
Can you IMAGINE the howling of racism if it would have been "Who does Obama remind you of?" behing a FOXNEWS anchor?
Every race hustler in the country would have taken time to shoot FOX full of holes on that. "What, so we all look alike?" or some crap like that.
wow.
May 19, 2008 - 21:51 ET by dronetekSomeone really needs to bring attention to this. That guy is becoming pretty brazen in his hypocrisy and lies.
Is that a blue cocktail dress you're wearing, Matthews?

Did that send a tingle up your leg, Chrissy?
LOL, oh boy Chrissy will

The only thing I object to
May 19, 2008 - 19:45 ET by BruzillaThe only thing I object to is the comment "... John McCain for his stoicism while he was tortured in Vietnam,". John McCain wasn't stoic as a POW. By his own admission he violated the Code of Conduct, so I don't think he should be associated with those brave men who managed to get through being a POW without violating the code.
Lennon
May 20, 2008 - 06:31 ET by sentforth5Mr. Lennon's comment 'all those years ago' did not compare the Beatles to Christ Jesus, rather, he was lamenting that more people were into the Beatles than there were people into Christ...that's an oldy that has long been explained. For ANYONE to liken themselves to GOD takes a great deal of ignorance on the the very Deity of Christ.
Only a fool would let that comparison slide past their lips.
I hate to admit to all my beloved NBers, but I often pray for the likes of Olberdude, Maffews, Gregory, et al, because they are awash in the world and have not known GOD at all.
I pray for their black, lifeless souls.
Douche indeed
