Chris Matthews, on Tuesday's "Hardball," ominously warned that the "activists on the radio," are "gonna pay," if "we have violence in this country against our president of any form," for having "encouraged the craziness." Matthews made that charge in a segment, with NBC News' Chuck Todd and the Politico, that began by the MSNBC host wondering if the GOP was "jumping the shark," with "these crazy town meetings," and declared "the clown show is over."
The following exchange was aired on the September 22 edition of "Hardball":
CHRIS MATTHEWS: Let me ask you about the Republicans. I noticed a little pullback on the, have they failed, are they feeling they're jumping the shark, to use a television term, with these crazy town meetings? Have they fe
lt, I saw the Eric Cantor meeting in Virginia the other day, he's a smart guy. He wants to be president or whatever, some day. He's smart enough to know, is he – I'm asking – that it's time to cool it? That this crazy anti-government talk isn't improving any body's life. The clown show is over. It's better now to look like you're at least hopeful of getting a better health care plan for the country, even if you vote against it. Is that the Republican assessment right now? Based upon our polling?
CHUCK TODD: Look I've seen a lot, yes. All of the Republican, congressional Republican talking points shifted about a week ago, frankly, to "We're for reform too." You know, "We're just-
MATTHEWS: Yeah, I smell it.
TODD: You know. Absolutely. They know that there is sort of that, you're, you're making progress. And look in our poll independents disapproved more of the President than approve of him, for the very first time. We see shift in independents in the generic ballot of Congress.
MATTHEWS: Yeah.
TODD: So they're making, they made their case against the Democrats right now. So now they're gonna have to start shifting into making a case for themselves. I do think the leaders get it, the question is, don't forget you have your congressional leaders and then you have the activist leaders on talk radio and, and on the media. They're on a different page.
MATTHEWS: They, they, people the activists on radio are not afraid because they're not afraid of anything. But at some point if we have violence in this country against our president of any form or attempt, people are gonna pay for it, the people who have encouraged the craziness. And I get the feeling, at some point, the responsible grown ups like people who have [been] elected 20 or 30 years, who know what it means to be responsible officeholders, must be saying to themselves, "I don't want to be one of the people responsible if one of these Looney Tunes gets a gun and does something."
ROGER SIMON, POLITICO: Well I agree 100 percent, but the base of the party, the core of the party likes the clown show. This is the energy that they haven't seen since November of last year. We were all sitting around talking about how the Republican Party was through. Well, during the summer, we were talking about, "Gee look at all these people."
MATTHEWS: They're playing with fire.
SIMON: They're playing with fire. Not with words so much, as the casual attitude that all of us are taking to people showing up at presidential events with firearms and we're not doing anything about it.
MATTHEWS: I'll say it again. The best., the best thing the National Rifle Association could do, and it hasn't done it yet is to simply make a statement. You have a right to bear arms. Don't bring arms to political meetings. They have the leadership to do it, they should do it.

If you're looking for an example of "incontrovertibly clear" what the American people wanted, I'd say that 29% is a lot clearer than 10%.

Barack Obama won by over 10 percent in 2008 not 2004 and he got over double the electoral votes McCAin had. I am not saying it was the right decision, I am saying your stats are clearly wrong unless you can prove otherwise

From the NY Times article in February 2001:
"In
the latest criticism over their departure from the White House, the
Clintons faced questions today about taking $28,000 worth of
furnishings, which two donors were quoted as saying had been intended
to become part of the permanent White House collection, not gifts to
the Clintons.
The disclosure, reported in today's Washington
Post, came three days after the Clintons said they would pay $86,000 to
cover the value of gifts they received last year in an effort to avoid
the appearance of impropriety. The couple had originally sought to
leave with $190,000 in gifts."

Matthews and the MSM are spreading lies
September 22, 2009 - 17:42 ET by FeynmanFanCompared to demonstrations put on by the left, the Tea Parties have been like an Easter Egg hunt. The only incident of real violence so far was initiated by someone from the left who felt it necessary to intrude into a demonstration with the result that he bit off a protestor's fingertip. As for the firearms, the only pictures shown have been of an individual who wasn't inside a townhall meeting.
Matthews and the MSM are spreading hysterical lies to make it look like the Tea Party rallies and town hall meetings are wildly out of control. They fail to recognize that the real power of the conservative movement is its reliance on laws and order to achieve their goals.

September 23, 2009 - 09:51 ET by GeneralAlYou guys are the ones with blinders on! You won in 06 because Republicans acted like Democrats and paid the price. Instead of paying attention to their base, they paid attention to the Communist/Democrat media and moved to the middle along with Cross the Aisle McShame! We don't go around shooting people, leaving a mess in the park, or call for the death of our opponents. That crap comes from the loons on the left and is ignored by the panzies in the MSM [Mostly Socialist Media]. The backlash is coming in 10 as those of us who were ticked at the Republicans, such as Independents, Conservatives, and Libertarians return the Republicans to power. The difference is, there won't be any RINOS in charge. Nancy Pelousy and Dirty Harry Reid will be relegated to the basement. Unlike Newt Gingrich, who didn't want to treat the Dems the way they treated the Repubs, this group will keep the same rules in place and probably make them tougher!

September 22, 2009 - 22:50 ET by danybhoyThe only people who benifit from anything happening to Obama would be the Demacrats. They would get the goodwill that comes out of something bad happening to them in the form of sympathy. JFK's death was used for the Great Society, they tried to Paul Wellstone's death in the 2002 elections, & got stuffed. They are trying to use Ted Kennedy's death for health care, it won't work either.
Note to Matthews, sober up, shut & listen/read real closely...Anything that happens to anybody in Obama's circle will be done by someone with something to gain. My guess is that it would be an inside job for leftist political reasons. It is sad to me that the left seems to view their political leaders as worth more in death then in life. The great thing about JFK is we never saw him turn into a failed old fart like Jimmy Carter, or his brother Ted.

So, you are declaring that anyone committing any violent act against the president will have, as a matter of fact concluded by you at this time, been directly put up to it by "conservative talk radio." Will your declaration be exhibit A in a criminal case? You wouldn't know because you're too stupid to know. Would the conservative radio listeners stop listening if the president gets hurt by your de facto operative? You wouldn't know, you're too stupid to know. (The answer is no.)

September 22, 2009 - 18:44 ET by vh5150It's a good thing Chrissy is bringing his tingly leg and Obama panties to the forefront of protecting our Dear Leader. What a joke!!!!

I agree with Rush. It's time for Obama to resign.
Let's Just Pretend....
September 22, 2009 - 18:52 ET by bpjam...that I'm a Left-wing 'Progressive' activist......
I call in death threats to the next Obama events based upon the details I learned from being on the Obama mailing list and the invitation I'd be getting to the event as a verified Obama(union) sychopant.
And then I'd be sure to call up MSNBC and make all kinds of wild claims and tell them the Secret Service is already tracking me.
Chrissy would lose his marbles. He'd go wall-to-wall with this and how some crazy right-winger was planning on killing the Messiah and it would never matter in the slightest whether it had even a grain of truth to it. It would still pass the smell test at MSNBC.
The Left is just hoping and praying that somebody takes a shot at Obama so they can blame Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Fox News, those kids that busted ACORN, Sean Hannity, Bibi Netanyahu, Master Windu or whoever else they can claim is part of the 'bickering' opposition. (or Hitler if you listen to Pelosi, but who honestly listens to her anymore....)
The entire Left Wing radical establishment is desperately hoping that somehow one of these middle-America 'crazies' they see on TV is gonna want to whack Obama. They are praying every night. They are hoping to be the next Walter Cronkite to announce it. They want to prove all the crazed conspiracies in their own minds that WE are the ones who are violent psychopaths and not the people who show up at THEIR 'protests'...
Good Luck Chrissy. Hope you break 300,000 viewers someday. That would net you nearly 1 whole % of the population watching your show!!!!

It will be stupid politicians' fault.

We tried toughing it out with Morning Joe,but that too became unbearable... if only we could find ways to boycott them efficiently and put them out of their misery that would be the ultimate poetic justice

September 22, 2009 - 21:16 ET by AlanaChris Matthews is mad because those talk show people "aren't afraid."
He hopes to rectify that by threatening that "they will pay."
For their free speech.
But, we have free speech, and I am not afraid. I was at first, when I realized how they wanted to kill our freedoms, but I stopped being afraid. I mean seriously, not afraid, at all.
Because those who wish to control the freedoms of others are the ones who need be afraid. And they are, as Chris Matthews exemplifies.

HintWord: Assassination
September 23, 2009 - 01:46 ET by chuckkLet's be honest:
Chris Matthews thinks Obama is going to be assassinated by a right wing nut and is trying to place blame ahead of time on anyone who opposes the Messiah's Health-Care Plan.

Also why doesn't anybody challenge these Liberals when they keep talking about if Obama gets shot or killed? If there is a nut out there and he/she keeps hearing this over and over again about someone killing the President, don't you think hearing about it so much may just push them over the edge?
Then the left will say, see I told you so. Those racist right wing nuts all along wanted to harm Obama.

Is Chris Matthews actually HOPING for a little violence?
September 23, 2009 - 06:35 ET by MCLANTIEREYou'd almost think guys like Chris Matthews are HOPING for a little gun-play here. Violence comes has an uncanny ability to come from many diffent sides, and for different reasons -- to different ends. Chris Matthews doesn't point out that up until busloads of SEIU people, town hall meetings were just a lot of yelling and screaming -- and there's nothing wrong with hollarin' at a politician! Once the Acorn bus and the SEIU bus pulled up, suddenly serior citizens were getting pushed around and held down in their seats by tough lads in tee-shirts -- and that's the TRUTH.
To another TRUTH, the GUN-guys would do well to leave their hardware at home -- or at least carry concealed, as the "blueing" of a gun tends to be a bit alarming -- even to the seasoned armed Citizen. Carrying an AK slung around one's shoulder -- while LEGAL, I'm sure -- does not nessesarily help our cause.
BUT...
Just remember this, folks, it was NOT a Dutch Jew named Van Der Lube who committed arson to the Reichstag (Nazi/German congress building) -- the fire in February 1933. And like in those times, there were plenty of thugs muscling on the side of the Nazi party to break-up meetings with their fists. Sounding familiar?

Re; Chrissy-Boy
September 23, 2009 - 09:10 ET by BearoneHello,
I do not even understand why people care about what he says. He is on a network that most of the times has a audince of about 1,000 watching his show, and the pervert Keithy-Boy Over-bite. Why are they even relevant, and then I understand why. We as conservatives have got to have something to laugh at, and they fit the bill just right. When this country needs morons come to MSNBC--THEY HAVE THE MARKET ON MORONS COVERED. Now as far as some of the posts in this section please reframe on using past Presidents to hold-up this President in this nations history. If we as a nation even have a history he will go down in that said history as one of the worst of the worst that ever sat in the Oval-Office, and that will only be no differnt than Mr. Jimmy Carter. I do not even respect his time as the President and that is why I just refer to him as Mr. Carter as of now. What a complete loser he was for the nation.
Thank you,
Bearone
Re; Chrissy-Boy Matthews
September 23, 2009 - 09:29 ET by BearoneJust a quick note on the side if you will. What netowrk was it when the-(THIS HURTS TO SAY)-President went out to Phoeniz Arz. to give a speech on health-care made a horrendous mistake in the identity of a male in the crowd outside as a white male. Whenever any, and all other news agencies that were there reported the man as being a man of color. An American citizen of color to be correct. Now as far as that goes I feel that Mr. Chrissy-Boy Matthews is trying real hard through his news angency, and all the people there to do something that is called reverse racial discrimination, and of course you will not hear about this because we as a nation are so caught up with thisman-(OBAMA)-being in the White-House as of something so historical. It would be so if he actually knew what he was doing. Now stuff that in your pipe,a nd smoke on it a while Chrissy-Boy!!!

Chris Matthews is aimlessly
September 23, 2009 - 09:44 ET by marvlChris Matthews is aimlessly incoherent, with all the insight and intelligence of the average methane gas producing bacterium.

better health care plan for the country, even if you vote against it." "...these crazy town meetings..." "...people are gonna pay for it, the people who have encouraged the craziness."
Does this guy even understand basic American history?
"O ye that love mankind! Ye that dare oppose, not only the tyranny, but the tyrant, stand forth! Every spot of the old world is overrun with oppression. Freedom hath been hunted round the globe. Asia, and Africa, have long expelled her--Europe regards her like a stranger, and England hath given her warning to depart. O! receive the fugitive, and prepare in time an asylum for mankind." - Thomas Paine
By Mr. Matthews views, every single founding father and supporter the colonies is a criminal for defying a government-run life. What a sham! What a dispicable little man you are sir!
