Chris Matthews: Newt 'Is Evil, Looks Like The Devil'
Talk about demonizing your political opponents, Chris Matthews has literally done it to Newt Gingrich. . .
On his MSNBC show this evening, Matthews said that Gingrich "looks like the devil," reminds him of the warlock in Rosemary's Baby, and "is evil."

CHRIS MATTHEWS: I don't know what his constituency is, I don't know what led him to believe he was a candidate except he's good on television, he does make provocative comments now and then. But people don't like him, and he looks like the devil. I mean, that may not be fair but I always say on this program that he can't be the devil because he looks like him, and everybody knows the devil is going to look like Marilyn Monroe . . .
By the way, he is Steven Castevets [sic, actually Roman Castevet] in Rosemary's Baby. He is the warlock who lives upstairs at The Dakota. I'm sorry, that's who he is. And you're right, he does have a lot to say, just like Steven Castevets. I know: name a place, I've been there. He's got all that worldly information. But he is evil. Your thoughts, though.
That was too much even for Wayne Slater of the Dallas News.
WAYNE SLATER: I'm not going to say that he's evil!

Am amazed how these elites come across. Tingles and Robinson remind me of two 5 yr.old bullies out on the play ground during recess time.If these jerks have mirrors in their Hampton Homes they best brake them before they scare the hel out of themselves. Why in the world are these fools on TV tonight,,,,,,thought they would be helping the nyt and post go through Palin's emails.

Interesting. Obama looks like a pimp out of a Tarantino movie. MIchelle Obama looks non-human. Hillary Clinton looks like she never sees the sunshine. Chris Matthews looks like the guy that gets caught in a Marv Albert-syle sex-scandal but with teen-age boys instead of women.

This charge of being evil coming from the party that is building its platform on breaking most of the Ten Commandments...
By the way, I recall the Bible saying that Satan was the most beautiful creature God had created at that time. Not saying Newt is handsome, just that Chrissy doesn't know of what he speaks.

Newt is finished after his bonehead comments about the Paul Ryan budget, so I hope Chrissie keeps attacking him. That is energy that could be more profitably directed at a viable candidate, but no one ever accused tingles of being wise.

So this is what passes for informed commentary every single day, and then they accuse the American people of being, "simple or backward"? Well, thank God Newt ain't black, Tingles the shmuck might have found himself in trouble.

this is the kind of intelligent and thought-provoking political discourse we come to "Hardball" to see. I remember Matthews way back in the 2008 campaign spending an inordinate amount of time of Hillary Clinton's ankles. and of course he's obsessed with Michele Bachmann's eyes.
that's the problem with Fox: they just don't spend enough time making fun of what politicians look like. why can't they be more of a "real" news channel, like MSNBC?

Your website features a cartoon of Gingrich, depicting him as morbidly obese and without testicles. So, I guess it's biased to call him evil, but it's scientific if you characterize him as fat and ball-less. Gotcha.
Dude?

I take your post was meant to be sarcastic and insulting to the website?
Might wanna try and be accurate when you insult. How does a cartoon become scientific?
