Chris Matthews to Republicans:"Take Obamacare on the chin and shut up"

This part got me:

MATTHEWS: Well, I have to tell you, I don`t know how you fan the flames when you — when you say you don`t like something. And by the way, Congressman Stupak, I`ve got to ask you a question. I know this is rhetorical. But you know, when Bush got his way on a number of issues — forget the war. The parties agreed on that for a while there. He got a huge tax cut for the wealthy. I didn`t see the Democrats burning down the barns and sending hate mail, and you know, throwing rocks through windows. They lost a big fight on fiscal issues. They got the wrong end of the stick, you might argue. They still get it in the sense of tax policy. But they didn`t go doing this stuff. They took it on the chin.

clip

MATTHEWS: Yes, maybe — maybe the right wing should take this one on the chin, the way the liberals did when Bush did his tax cut back in the early part of this century. They just took it on the chin, no rallies, no violence, no stone-throwing, no bullets, no nothing.

Hey Tweety Bird...you wouldn't be able to see Liberal bias or hatred coming from the Left even if it was a Tyrannosaurus that was bending down about to bite you in half.

I am sick of hearing about ‘Bush’s tax cuts for the rich’. Didn’t all taxpayers get a cut? After all, the poor don’t pay taxes anyway.

62% of Americans want this to be fought,Chrissy.So that means you want *them* to "take it on the chin" as well.Sounds like the tyranny of the minority to me,Chrissy.

And I wonder if there's anything that *you'd* be willing to take on the chin from Hussein? Something that might give ya another thrill up your leg?

Cutting taxes does not violate the basic tenets of our Republic as codified in the United States Constitution.

No, Chris, we’re going to keep on fighting and plan to become louder and louder. No concession, no fear.

“Taking it on the chin” is a fine way to talk about a program he thinks is so beneficial for all of us.

The DNA’s not on his chin. It’s elsewhere.

I’m guessing Matthews has had something slapping him in the chin.
