Chris Matthews: Hillary Clinton is ‘More of a Conservative...Traditional Politician'
MRC Newsbusters ^ | July 2, 2015 | By Connor Williams

Posted on 07/06/2015 8:17:02 AM PDT by Cheerio

During a Wednesday Hardball discussion with former Democratic senator and presidential candidate Gary Hart, Matthews asked about “the ideological direction of the party right now” and added that Bernie Sanders is bringing a kind of 1960s message to Democratic politics.

The Hardball host then transitioned to discuss Hillary Clinton, making a dubious observation: “Hillary Clinton [is] more of a conservative in a sense of more of a traditional politician from the center, center.”

(This wasn't the first time Matthews offered this formulation. On Meet the Press in late May, Matthews insisted: “If Hillary Clinton is a lefty, I didn't know it, okay. She’s not a lefty. She is a centrist politician, a Democratic, a mainstream Democrat.”)

You must be kidding. Either you don’t know HRC, or you don’t know RMN.

I would suggest getting a read on Monica Crowley’s first hand knowledge of the former President. Her assessment is far better than the ‘history books’.

And Monica Crowley can be trusted.

Wow!

I have never read a more accurate and comprehensive assessment of the ‘Queen’.

If I come across anyone who is unsure of who she really is, I’ll be sending them your way.

We,,. precisely. Chrissie uses traditional politician as synonymous with member of the thugocracy. Hillary is all of that. He is wishing old time gansterism on us.

Yeah Hillary is more conservative... like Stalin.
Sanders is more liberal... like Chavez.

You hit on it. Traditional roles like liberal and conservative, left and right don't translate very well when you're describing dictators. Fascism can be described as "leftist" or "right-wing" but it's the same scheme: all power flows to/through the government. Was Hitler's brand of National Socialism right or left wing? Irrelevant.

“Traditional”. I guess that means she’ll be using the guillotine for execution of her political opponents. Very traditional.

Liberals run that crap every election. NO Chris MATTHEWS, Hillary is NOT a conservative in any way. NONE of the liberal filth is conservative.

Not ONE of ‘em.
