Chris Matthews explodes at MSNBC: Quit putting ‘goddamn’ right-wing ads on for free

[Pharaoh]

MSNBC host Chris Matthews lit into his own network on Tuesday, denouncing it for playing commercials paid for by “piggish” conservative groups, Talking Points Memo reported.

“The cloth-coat regular Republican voters who send their kids to war are not the ones who pay for these ads. They’re totally different people,” Matthews told colleague Thomas Roberts, after Roberts played an ad paid for by the Foundation for a Secure and Prosperous America on his show. “The ones who send their kids to war and come home maimed and wondering what the hell they were doing it for, those people are not impressed by these goddamn ads.”

3. Ah, Chris Matthews.

My favorite helping of wisdom from Chris:
"MATTHEWS: We're proud of our president. Americans love having a guy as president, a guy who has a little swagger, who's physical, who's not a complicated guy like [former President Bill] Clinton or even like [former Democratic presidential candidates Michael] Dukakis or [Walter] Mondale, all those guys, [George] McGovern. They want a guy who's president. Women like a guy who's president. Check it out. The women like this war. I think we like having a hero as our president. It's simple. We're not like the Brits. We don't want an indoor prime minister type, or the Danes or the Dutch or the Italians, or a [Russian Federation President Vladimir] Putin. Can you imagine Putin getting elected here? We want a guy as president."

Chris liked him some *

4. Tweety is losing it....

He knows better than to say those two words together.

In this superstitious country you can say "God" and you can say "damn" but saying "goddamn" together is considered to be WORSE than saying "fuck". (Which he's ALSO done)

6. Chris Matthews nailed it. MSNBC needs to decide who they represent, Chris knows who he represents.

7. Agreed, Chris said to himself something like "here goes, this is what counts, regardless of my cost"

I have much more respect for Chris Matthews after telling the truth, now if we could get more people to do this the country and world would be a better place because of it.
