He has, Chris; he has . . .

Chris Matthews claims that for purposes of the 2012 campaign, Barack Obama needs to offer an alternative to capitalism. Along the way, Matthews, on his MSNBC show this evening, offered a completely crazed notion of what capitalism is about. Chris clearly never cracked 'The Wealth of Nations' back at Holy Cross. Does the Invisible Hand ring a bell, Chris?

Hilarious: Matthews thinks Obama needs to offer alternative to capitalism—as if he hasn’t already. Ping to Today show list.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

You mean like Stalin and Mao's alternative, Chrissy?

[Reagan Man]

[Eyes Unclouded]

Say what you want to say about Marx at least he didn’t have someone else ghostwrite his book.

[Recovering_Democrat]

[KoRn]

Chances are, more people read about this idiot here every day than watches him on TV.

Why do we give him the audience here? We all know he’s a damn moron. Do we need further convincing?

We would all be well served to simply forget he exists, and move on with our lives.

[freekitty]

Oh pleeeezzzzz

[max americana]

If Prissy wasn’t distracted about getting a tingle up his leg, then he would have observed astutely that his god has no intentions of preserving capitalism.

[Blood of Tyrants]

As always the liberals think that the problem with socialism is that we haven’t spent enough money or stolen enough freedoms.

Obama signed a paltry 2% cut in employee SS taxes (the employers still had to pay 6.2%) and then had the nerve to say that “he had tried tax cuts and they didn’t work”.

[ClearCase_guy]

All set.

[therut]

Wonder if Chrissy made his millions due to socialism?

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Alternative To Capitalism

HEY SPITBALL!

This is America fool. That would be akin to you finding an alternative to breathing air.

[Lazlo in PA]

Alternative to Capitalism? If anyone questioned whether Chrissy drank heavily during the shows, this is all the evidence in the world.

[dhs12345]

Wonder if he’d be willing to apply the same thing to his show. I am betting no.

[Dallas59]

Let’s start by confiscating everything cHrIsSY owns!

[Rome2000]

Yes, according to this fag hag, inflicting on America red communism coupled with mandatory homosexuality and baby killing is job one.

Robbing federal tax payers is a close second.

[Interesting Times]

"Capitalism is what people do when they are free" - P.J. O'Rourke.

Any "alternative to capitalism" requires totalitarian mechanisms of enforcement.

[Texas Fossil]

This is not about Capitalism. It is about freedom or slavery.

You would think that a “black” man could understand what slavery is and the consequences. But along those lines, Obozo is not really black, he is 1/2 white and if BHO Sr. is his real father he is more arab than black.....
