Matthews Compares Tea Party to Muslim Brotherhood, Calls Them War-Hooping Nut Bags
In a discussion with Republican strategist John Feehery and Democratic consultant Mark Penn about the Tea Party’s potential challenge to senators who don’t fit their mold Matthews once again took the opportunity to go after the Tea Party and Michele Bachmann.
Matthews started his attack by asking Feehery:
So the Muslim Brotherhood has a parallel role here with the Tea Party, they’re the ones who keep you honest and decide whether you’ve stayed too long? Whether you’ve got a “Sell By” date looming?
Feehery responded by telling Matthews that both of them worked on Capitol Hill for a long time and that many times members of Congress lose touch with their constituency and that it is was really nothing more than that.
Matthews moved on to Michele Bachmann and her recent remarks on slavery and the founding fathers saying how surprised that he and some African-American people he spoke with were about what she said. Continuing on Matthews told Penn:
There’s some craziness out there on the right and the fact that these war-hooping nut bags, some of them, are deciding who the senators should be, should make the Democrats feel, like yourself, centrist Democrats feel pretty happy.
Matthews is a master of hyperbole, but comparing the Tea Party to the Muslim Brotherhood or calling them war-hooping nut bags is going a little too far even for him.
The only reason Matthews spends so much time on Sarah Palin and now Michele Bachmann and the Tea Party is that he sees all of them as threats to the Democrats, and the only way that he knows to fight them is by constantly berating them, hoping someone besides his left-wing viewers will actually believe him.
He has a long way to go since he constantly trails Glenn Beck by 1 million viewers per night.

10 Comments for Matthews Compares Tea Party to Muslim Brotherhood, Calls Them War-Hooping Nut Bags
I have not listened to Matthews in years. He has become a pathological liberal, i.e., he actually believes what he says is the truth. Sick man. Needs help. But he will probably have to get permission from Obamacare to schedule an appointment.
Muslim Brotherhood equated with the Tea Party. Chris (Geobbels) Matthews continues with the Big Lie theory of political commentary….keep lying about what the people want (less government, less taxes, back to the grassroots) and hope that you can continue to gather governmental power to ensure that your communist/socialist (ooopppss.. I think they label themselves progressives) can enslave us with more taxes, governmentally mandated health insurance…(Get rid of most of the insurance laws and the economy will rebound….people will have money to spend on something other than homeowners insurance, cvar insurance, health insurance, title insurance, bonds for insurance to complete projects, insurance for life, dismemberments, accidental death, disfigurments, loss of limb…..the list goes on and on and on. Get hurt, injured, sued, or anything requiring the insurance companies to actually pay for what they have been taking your money for, the good hands open wide and dump you on your a+++
To follow on with the Major…if the Tea Party were to gain control of the US we would be returned to a small government Federal Republic. Sounds frightening to me!
The Major is slightly in error– we won’t die if we bow down to the muslo-radicals and do it their way. and only their way.
And I rather like the idea of a smaller government Fed republic –the old grouch is likely a government employee or pensioner.
Since when is it the government’s job to create jobs? Big Brother save us?
Government (except for government jobs) kills jobs — it needs to get out of the way!
mr reality: I am an 70 year old conservative capitalist that worked his ass off for 50 years and has endured the degeneration of this country for most of my life. My pensions come from the fact that I was smart enough to provide for myself.
Matheews is a brainless blabbering moron with his absolutly empty caranium if you shown a flashlight in one ear the light would shine out the other
All of you posters are mean-spirited and you speak from a narrow frame of reference and life experiences free from bigotry and racism that others have suffered from, and so many Tea Partiers have shown themselves to be racists and hateful toward homosexuals and others with whom they disagree. As a practicing Christian since childhood, as a volunteer in my community for nearly forty years — including someone who has donated over 10,000 volunteer hours and countless, hard-earned funds from my hard work as director of a church-supported charity to assist and/or honor veterans and our fallen military heroes and their families — I am shocked at your one-sided view of life.
My family includes many veterans, all fellow liberals, who taught me compassion (and you have no idea about some of my other volunteer work for the poor, including our Native Americans — first Americans, including a life-saving miracle that I was called to be a part of). So stop bashing liberals. You have no idea about the fact that we take our marching orders straight from the Gospel. I won’t be checking for your nasty reaction to my comments so don’t bother. I’m moving on and getting back to performing yet more volunteer work in ministry this evening.
Sue, Matheews is a paid liar he is a propeganda artists like all liberal left-wing journalists
And i compare matheews to JOSEPH GOBBELLS hitler minister of PROPEGANDA their very simular
My daughter gave her father ,with his ten thumbs, a book with “1,001 uses for Duct Tape”. After reading what “Tingle Leg” said above about the Tea Party,,,,that is like comparing the Girl Scouts to the Gestapo,,,I think I have found ANOTHER use for Duct Tape.
In my opinion,,if the muslim brotherhood take control of Egypt,,then the Suez Canal Zone,,,the whole world will see what we here already know,,that if you are NOT one of them,,then you & we are infidels,,,we will DIE at their hands. NO ACLU,,,NO SPLC,,,NO PRO-Left group to come to your aid.
Tunisia,,,Egypt,,,Yemen,,,Jordan ,,,who is next,,,EUROPE,,,USA ???
Think about it.
