Just hours after a producer for deranged MSNBC host Chris Matthews was accused of physically assaulting Republicans outside the party’s national convention last night, Matthews himself has admitted to verbally confronting several GOP delegates at a restaurant in Tampa, Florida calling them a “douchebag convention.”
According to The Hill newspaper, the perpetually angry liberal television host confronted the delegates early Friday morning following taunting questions they asked about whether he felt “thrilled” following GOP nominee Mitt Romney’s acceptance speech.
he controversy began, according to a witness interviewed by The Hill when Matthews twice refused to acknowledge a New York delegate named Eric Ulrich who had greeted him. This prompted other Republican patrons of the restaurant to begin heckling him for the perceived slight:
He headed back into the restaurant to mix it up with them. “I wanted to confront them,” Matthews said, describing his exchange with the men as “towel-snapping” among guys.
Matthews said he told the rowdy group, “What’s this, a douchebag convention?”
The Republicans became angry and retorted back.
“I told him that’s next week," said New York delegate Anthony Nunziato, referring to the Democratic convention in Charlotte, N.C., that will start on Tuesday.
Matthews was far less confrontational in a subsequent email to the newspaper, claiming that, “I was trying in my way to engage, as I often do, with critics, hoping to find some common ground. Sometimes it works out better than this.”

Alcohol and bile in that blood stream. Bad combination.
“I wanted to confront them,” Matthews said, describing his exchange with the men as “towel-snapping” among guys.
Gay.
Didn’t ANYBODY there have a nice fat piece of cake to mash into his stupid face???;)
Well, this is now 2 missed opportunities to justifiably knock every tooth out of this miserable turns mouth.
“Matthews said he told the rowdy group, “What’s this, a douchebag convention?”
Yes, and the Republicans are the ones waging a “war on women”
Matthews is into the early stages of “Olbermann Syndrome” and may soon be working at Current TV.
a nice size law suit in the pockets of the MSNBC corporate might just get Matthews off the screen and out to pasture.
“I told him that’s next week,”
What a great comeback. That guy is quick witted.
Liberals are so totally illogical.
He ignores someone who says hello twice. People start razzing him on it. He then calls them “A Douchebag Convention”.
His takes: “I was trying to engage them, in my way, to find common ground.”
But we are supposed to take his political views seriously!
Wow! What a beauty in the eyewitness interview at the link.
I suppose Matthew’s tingle for Zer0 has turned into tinkle—tinkle in his panties for a alcohol addled mind past due for a pair of Depends to keep from |>issing himself.
“MSNBC needs to put Matthews out to pasture”
They won’t put him out to pasture because as low as his ratings are, believe or not, they would go even lower without him.
...shouldn’t he be at MSNBC writing more propaganda?
Her name is Kim and yes she is. :-)
Why didn’t the delegates just ignore him instead of picking a fight?
