RNC's Priebus: Matthews 'unhinged,' 'hysterical,' 'bizarre'
Washington Examiner ^ | 8/30/12 | Paul Bedard

Republican Party Chairman Reince Priebus Thursday unleashed a sharp attack on liberal TV critic Chris Matthews, calling the MSNBC Hardball host "bizarre," "unhinged," and "hysterical" for charging the GOP with playing the race card. Appearing on America's Radio News Network with hosts John McCaslin and Chris Salcedo, Priebus said that when challenged by Matthews over race earlier this week, he tried to avoid a fight, though he did call Matthews a "jerk." Recalling the episode, Priebus said, "my reaction was, as it was happening was, OK Chris Matthews is just trying to make a scene for his

I wouldn’t be a bit surprised that Chris Matthews isn’t drugged up...he certainly looks it.

Matthews is a drunk, plain and simple.

He is notorious around DC for being drunk and rude to waitresses.

His wife is a local news anchor so none of his antics get any publicity.

Trying to defend the indefensible will make a person crazy . I can remember when he was somewhat reasonable. ***************************************************** Chrissy is probably a bit worried that his job will will go away after the election....heard he is a recovering alcoholic...acts just like Beckel on Fox....has anyone noticed how alike they are?

Matthews has since defended his behavior. He told Politico, "It is obvious that this is something I care passionately about: race was abused by white politicians in my lifetime,

Do you notice that the stupid SoB's own party, the Democrats, were the party abusing blacks with terror, filibustering and hanging out with others wearing the white sheets within his worthless lifetime.

Oh how I hate hypocrisy!

Why patronize the guy. He ought to be boycotted by any conservative figures. Let him interview all the crazy lefties.

Oh, how I would love for Todd Palin to bump into Matthews one of these days. For all the vile things he has said about Sarah and his family, who could blame Todd if he proceeded to knock all of his teeth out of his head! That would be must see TV!!

Gloss of the week:

Priebus said that when challenged by Matthews over race earlier this week, he tried to avoid a fight, though he did call Matthews a "jerk."

The MSNBC/DailyKos Klux Klan will stop at NOTHING to save The Messiah Obama.

They likely know that if Romney wins, Comcast cuts the money-loser MSNBC off.

Y’know, I’ve wondered for a while now if something isn’t genuinely (as in, medically) wrong with Chris Matthews. I remember the guy back in his CNBC days. He was liberal, but he was usually fair, and a lot of times had some interesting things to say. Now, he’s just out in the MSNBC ozone. He doesn’t even make sense a lot of the time now.

It’s not him. It’s in the air. These are profound times, is what I think. So much is just sliding by. Is it all inevitable? That’s the only question.

“Why does someone as DUMB as Matthews get a platform to sit at and lie and make accusations with NO REASONING. He is sick and we should write or call the net work complaining about his lack of integrity.”

I think MSNBC needs to revamp its’ entire programming. Who in their right mind would have Al Sharpton on a program? Fox News got criticized for having him as a guest, and MSNBC gives him a forum! This man belongs in jail for his part in the Tawana Brawley, Duke University, and the Jena, La. hoaxes. Do you think the problem could be the management of MSNBC?

We grew up in a country where appeals to race have been awful, terrible....What is this supposed to mean? I never appealed to anyone on their race. I did appeal to their behavior or lack of civility, education and manners no matter what the race was. Talk about unhinged and bizzaar.

Well. Matthews revealed why he carries the racism line where no one has gone before. He sees himself as a civil rights hero because he drives his car from his lily white enclave through the streets of “black majority” Washington. Meanwhile, he sits there with Sharpton , who show just how far the leftists are willing to take a real race hustler, making him arguably the most prominent black commentator in America
