Pot, Meet Kettle: Chris “Tingles” Matthews Spews Hatred Against Conservatives & the Tea Party, AGAIN (video)
Posted By Vicki McClure Davidson on May 22, 2011
MSNBC's Chris Matthews, resident left-wing extremist, spewing his hatred of conservatives and the tea party movement once again
Right on cue — it’s been at least a full day since MSNBC’s ranting leftist loon and liar Chris Matthews last spewed his own special leg-tingling brand of hate against the constitution-based principles of the tea party movement. Principles that a majority of Americans hold. Now Matthews is spewing — again — that tea party members are full of HATE HATE HATE.
The very hatred that Matthews accuses tea party members of demonstrating, he exemplifies. Pathetic, lying, hate-filled pot, meet kettle.
From Ken Shepherd, MRC TV, Frothing Chris Matthews Denounces Tea Partiers as Haters Ten Times in Under Two Minutes:
MSNBC’s Chris Matthews on May 16 excoriated the Tea Party as full of “hate,” using the term 10 times in less than two minutes. Comparing the alliance between the Republican Party and the Tea Party to a union, he mocked, “Why would anyone marry for hate rather than love?” Aired at 5:58 pm EDT on May 16.
From PJ Tatler, Chris Matthews Hates the Tea Party (anyone shocked?):
In his nonsensical, common-place anti-Republican screed, Matthews makes three claims. He states:
No, the marriage between the Republicans and the Tea Party is based on hatred, hatred of government, hatred of the Democrats, hatred of Barack Obama. What’s love got to do with it? Zip.
Let’s break these down one by one, just to remind us (the non-ranting, non-hateful world) what the Tea Party is all about.
1. The Tea Party does not hate government. If it did, why would they keep saying they want to have a government based on the Constitution? Matthews is throwing out an old canard that has no value in a society where people think and use reason. The Tea Party opposes big government; a government that encroaches on our freedoms, a government that believes the State is more important than the individual. Matthews is wrong on this point, and doesn’t care.
2. The Tea Party does not hate Democrats. However, the Tea Party does not support an ill-founded ideology that undermines the Constitution, that undermines Capitalism and Free Markets and that tries to dismantle the American culture that fosters and supports free minds and free people. One could make the argument that the Tea Party hates what is happening to the country, but that is different than hating Democrats, and it is a position supported by moderates and Independents as well. Matthews, once again, is wrong.
3. The Tea Party doesn’t hate President Obama. The Tea Party is disgusted with his policies. Obamacare is UnConstitutional and immoral, the Dodd-Frank financial reform legislation is a shameful law, his foreign policy has left us weaker and truly hated, his budget plan balloons deficits and places the burden of repayment on unborn generations. Matthews, on all three counts, is wrong.
But Matthews will continue with this charade about Tea Party hate – I believe that psychologists call it transference. No one is more hate-filled than the hard-core progressive Left, of which Matthews is a proud member and leader. Matthews is unwilling to engage in conversation, so he pushes forth a meme that is solely designed to intimidate, to insult and to squelch the opportunities for discussion.
How easy, now, is it for Matthews, and for the progressive Left, to not engage the millions and millions of members in the Tea Party and what they believe? How simple, for those same people, to explain away the consistent Rasmussen polling that has Americans opposed to Obamacare, or to explain the vote in 2010? How beneficial for Matthews and his ilk to sit back and be so detached from reality?
Matthews can’t contain his hatred nor makes any attempt to exercise the very same “tone of civility” he and other hate-spewing leftists angrily demand of conservatives — he doesn’t care that he is offending more than half the nation, that he’s a weaselly hypocrite.
Let us remember other attacks, rantings, and spewings from Matthews — this is merely the tip of the iceberg:
* Has made ugly sexist remarks on his low-rated “Hardball” show about conservative women.
* Was outraged that Ronald Reagan was voted America’s favorite president.
* Keeps wildly swinging with his groundless attacks against Sarah Palin’s intelligence.
* Believes that any support of Israel is a “weird right-wing thing.”
* Has attacked conservatives, tea partiers, Republicans, and has attacked and called GOP presidential candidates many vicious names, including saying recently that he thinks Newt Gingrich looks just like a car bomber and Batman’s evil foe The Joker. No intelligent, pointed dissection or analysis of Gingrich’s ideology or philosophies, his actions, his track record — instead, Matthews resorts to childish name-calling and attacks. He has lied and blamed, without producing a shred of evidence, Palin and conservatives for being responsible for the Tucson shooting massacre.
The list never stops. MSNBC pays him millions for this blatant fraud of journalism, of hate-driven, partisan ranting.
Radio host Mark Levin commented last year on Matthews’ trashing of conservatives and trashing of Sarah Palin — interestingly, this broadcast aired long before Obama decided to start bombing Libya. Egg on the face for Matthews.

Video rewind of more demonizing of Americans and Republicans by Tingles… this is from a year ago.
Tea Party responds to MSNBC smear piece – Chris Matthews, “Rise of the New Right”
One of many leftist media strategies is to mock or attack viciously, with or without facts or evidence, any foe perceived to pose a real threat to the Democrat Party. Additionally, leftists will appear to embrace any weaker opponent (case in point: John McCain for president in 2008) to make themselves appear fair and non-partisan — such statist “dupery” will begin to exponentially increase from the Democrat Party propaganda machine as we get closer to the 2012 election. Whoever Matthews and others in the leftist media speak well or kindly of prior to and following the GOP primaries will be a warning flag.
By spending so much time and energy assaulting the tea party and advising Republicans that they would be better off ignoring the tea party movement, Matthews proves that the tea party movement is the very thing the GOP needs.
It makes one wonder… who in the heck is still watching this miscreant clown on “Hardball”? Better still, who is sponsoring his hate?
So much for the age of civility…
