Chris Matthews: TSA Uproar Meant to Hurt Obama

Hotair.com ^ | 11/24/2010 | Matt Lewis

[advance_copy]

Tuesday night on MSNBC’s “Hardball,” host Chris Matthews described the recent uproar over the TSA as “the right wing’s ginned up controversy.”

This, of course, is a narrative liberals are hoping to push.

During his discussion with The Washington Examiner’s Tim Carney, Matthews went on to imply that conservatives are only outraged over the TSA’s procedures because they want to hurt President Obama politically.

It was painful and disturbing. I informed the TSA officer that it was the scar from my colon cancer operation that went from my crotch to my sternum. A day later the scar still hurts from the kneading and prodding."

[M Kehoe]

Good evening.

Heaven forbid Matthews could ever be consistent with his views.

If Chrissy could be consistent, he wouldn't be a hypocrite. Then again, he wouldn't be a liberal/progressive/democRAT/communist either.

[peeps36]

Is Chris Mathews really a chubby woman dressed as a man? He has breasts and a physique that has no muscle. Even his voice sounds feminine to me. Could he be a Butch in disguise?

[mohresearcher]

I watched the ABC evening news tonight, and they reported that most people were using the scanners. No mention of urine or feces accidents for those unfortunate travelers with collection pouches.

The sheeple of America are obeying Brother #1 and Big Sis. After all, they know that we can’t be trusted, and besides, we are just plain stupid.

[popdonnelly]

If Matthews loses his job, he can always be a regular on “The View”.

[Reddy]

“Matthews went on to imply that conservatives are only outraged over the TSA’s procedures because they want to hurt President Obama politically.”

Bullcr@p.

If this were done during the tenure of Bush and Cheney, Tingles Hardball would be the FIRST to scream governmental abuse!!!

[Liberty and Freedom]

So I suppose that if 0bama weren’t in the WH, we would all love to get groped. Hint to Chrissy: We’re not all like you.

[oyez]

Ain’t it the truth!

[Red in Blue PA]

LOL!

That is fantastic!

[NonValueAdded]

WTF? Munchausen narcissism by proxy syndrome? It's all about the O?

[screaminsunshine]

Now we know how the Shroud of Turin was made.

[hinckley buzzard]

By this time, if they were serious, they would have trained up a bunch of explosive-sniffing dogs. It would beat hell out of TSA bullies and be more sensitive as well. The fact they have not done this is evidence they know that this is all a charade— a “ritual” of safety to lull the nervous flier into a state of compliance but which is only sound and fury signifying nothing.

[CodeToad]

Well, I guess all four of his listeners agree with Hissy Crissy. Is he even relevant to broadcast entertainment?

[hinckley buzzard]

You notice they shut up about the Patriot Act when it became known that the Act was written largely by Joe Bite-me Biden.

[PA-RIVER]

Oh, I think Chrissy is consistent.

Some men enjoy having men that they don't know fondle their testicles. Some may get a “tingle” out of it.

[bcr100]

Plus when Obama kept it in place, so apparently this act is ok as long as a democrat write it and is in charge in the WH. Hypocritical fools.
