NBC's Chris Matthews finally getting some heat for being outrageouly stupid

[MacTheKnife]

He should have been fired long ago.

There is a public clamoring for the firing of MSNBC host Chris Matthews after he made a reference to the Nazi invasion of France in talking about the blowout Nevada caucus victory of Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.


MSNBC's Chris Matthews Under Fire for Nazi Comparison

I wish I was wrong but they will never get rid of Matthews. True believers like him are too hard to find. The rest of the media will ignore the flub until it blows over and Matthews gets a tingle up his leg for another democrat.

Matthews compared Bernie Sanders to the Nazi invasion?

Suddenly, I have a new-found respect for Mr. Tingles.

Sounds just like Hitler, right?

No, this is all leftists with no sense of history carrying on stupidly.

Matthews said he'd been reading the night before Churchill's account of the French prime minister telephoning him and saying France was going to surrender. "It's over." he said. Churchill protested, what?? You CAN'T have lost, France has the biggest army in Europe!
"It's over," repeated Reynaud. And it was.

This was an excellent analogy (and I agree with it re: Sanders) and it's just history-impoverished leftists who can't handle any time at all different from today.

As you say it was different than today ....as in ignorant media personalities always want to equate anything they dislike with nazism, hitler etd.

 

[Circe]

No, this is just Matthews' enemies out to say "gotcha!" Disgusting how little anyone knows of history these days. I know what book he was reading, too, because I read it last year. Churchill's World War II autobiography. Good for Matthews --- my opinion of him just went way up.

Besides, I think he's right: it's over.

Of course not. A Hitler comparison against Sanders is as absurd as a Hitler comparison made against Trump. However, when you listen to the whole of Sanders' comments over the years, not just the ones cherry picked in your video, there is little difference between his rhetoric and that of Marxist revolutionaries going back over 100 years. The man is dangerous to a free society, plain and simple, and that case can be made honestly without the ridiculous Nazi hyperbole that the left and right like to sling at each other.

Agreed.

Some examples?

I thought Marx and Marxists had resigned themselves to the necessity of violence. I've never heard Bernie call for such a thing.

The man is dangerous\

Only because he represents change, which is always inherently scary and dangerous.

We don't have a free society. Sanders didn't create that.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

Ahh, poor Chris. I guess Sanders doesn't give him that thrill running down his leg.

Bernie's 'Brown Shirts' are all over the internet threatening anyone who says anything even close to negative about Bernie.
This is the sort of tactic Hitler used in the thirties. Sans the internet LOL

All sorts of people say negative things about Bernie here. I've seen no one getting threatened. I think you are a perpetrator of false news.

Oh and Godwin.

The democratic elites are organizing to dump bernie.......he will be replaced with bloomberg or hillary or some combination thereof.
