Unhinged Chris Matthews Assails Conservative 'Birth Control Nazis'
News Busters ^ | 10/22/12

Posted on 10/22/2012 5:41:32 PM PDT by markomalley

Talking to two fellow liberals on Monday, an unhinged Chris Matthews trashed conservatives and Republicans who opposes Barack Obama's birth control policies as "Nazis." Matthews smeared, "Is it in society's interests for [a young woman's] boss to be able to be the birth control Nazi to decide who gets it and who doesn't?"

Matthews has previously railed against calling one's political opponents Nazis. On April 28, 2010, the liberal host ranted, "But let's agree, can we, to drop the Nazi stuff?" On Monday, Matthews invented a hypothetical woman: "A young woman who works in her 20s or 30s and is not ready to have a child, that's her decision, I think we all agree on that. She wants birth control. Isn't it in society's interest for her to get that as part of her health care?"

The Hardball anchor didn't explain how "society" was keeping women from obtaining birth control or whether institutions, (including religious organizations) should be forced to pay for it.

Talking to feminist Gloria Steinem and Obama aide Stephanie Cutter Matthews hyperbolically added, "Do you hear the 1950s in Romney's voice?

A transcript of the October 22 exchange can be found below:

5:40

CHRIS MATTHEWS: A young woman who works in her 20s or 30s and is not ready to have a child, that's her decision, I think we all agree on that. She wants birth control. Isn't it in society's interest for her to get that as part of her health care?

STEPHANIE CUTTER: Absolutely.

MATTHEWS: Is it in society's interests for her boss to be able to be the birth control Nazi to decide who gets it and who doesn't?

STEPHANIE CUTTER: No, it's not. Women take contraception for a lot of different reasons. It's not just birth control. It has to do with preventing cancer and other diseases. It's a preventative medication. That's why the Affordable Care Act includes it as part of preventative measures for women and that's why insurance companies are now required to provide contraception for women with no out of pocket costs. It does not make sense to put employers in charge of that decision. Women should be able to make that decision. If their insurance plan offers contraception, which by law now they have to with no out of pocket costs, that's between women and their insurance companies and it should be in the women's court to make that decision, not employers. So, if I work at any fast food restaurant, they're making the decision about whether I have access to contraception, absolutely not.

MATTHEWS: Do you hear the 1950s in Romney's voice? I hear it all the time. It's this, "Women have children. They got to go home to feed the kids."

GLORIA STEINEM: I'm not sure he's up to the 1950s.

What a moron.

It’s not about “who gets it” it is about “who pays for it”

If we hear Matthews has a brain tumor, I would not be surprised.
A millions years ago, he was a good guy.
I think he even substituted for Limbaugh a few times.

Good thing I’m not God.

I believe the Bible teaches plainly that “birth control” displeases God.

God’s greatest blessing to the living is, “I will multiply thy seed.”

God’s greatest curse to the living is, “I will cut off your generations.”

We’ve got people rejecting the blessing and embracing the curse.

Hey, as far as I’m concerned, let the leftists select themselves out of the gene pool. They’ll be doing us all a favor. Like I said, it’s a good thing I’m not God.

“Unhinged Chris Matthews.” You hear that a lot. It’s almost as if “Unhinged” is his first name.

Well, no the Nazis were against birth control as it applied to ‘’healthy Aryan women’’. That is to say, they felt it was the duty of every good German(Aryan)woman to bear children for The Fatherland, outside of marriage if need be. However they defiantly were for birth control as it applied to the ''unhealthy'',i.e the physically handicapped or mentally ill or ''mental defectives''. And the Nazis were most certainly for birth control as it applied to Jewish women as would become horrifyingly obvious. That said Matthews is an oaffish, gutter-mouthed lout for whom I was saying just the other night is long over-due for an ass-whupping of the first order. To call anyone, other than a hard-core Socialist/Democrat a Nazi(which is essentially what the Nazis were) is an insult to the victims of the Nazis and a dishonor to all those who gave so much to defeat them.

Call a pro-death, pro-rape feminist a “feminazi” and the word police will come down on you. Call a Democrat at Socialist or a Commie sympathizer and you’ll be accused of whipping up hysteria. Call a Republican a Nazi and no one in the media will care or dispute it.

If only we could go back to the 50’s. Ok, I’d want to take a few things back with me, but oh how I miss those days.

As for Matthews, he is very mentally ill.

Chrissy still has hopes that he too might be able to have an abortion someday. Untilt that day comes, he will do everything possible to ensure the atrocity remains legal.
