Who is this man impersonating Chris Matthews?: Why is he saying nice things about the Tea Party?

He just thinks more Tea Party talking points equals more excited liberal/socialist voters. Same thing with illegal immigrants and students.

use some basic political savvy folks.

chrissy didnt all of a sudden come to his senses. this “be nice to the tea party” is a lefty tactic.

the leftys want a stronger tea party so there will be an all-out political war with the GOPe. the stronger the tea party gets the weaker the GOP will be. eric cantor is the case in point.

the leftys calculate this will be a huge win for them.

I read somewhere here on FR that that situation has already happened in TX.

Could be radio talk guy Howie Carr. People used to say he looked like Chris Matthews (or vice versa) when they both had more hair.

The slap at Mia's (and Woody's? or Frank's?) kid was gratuitous, though. He's on when everybody's at work and nobody watches MSNBC anyway, so he may not be the worst thing they have.

Katrina (the Red) vanden Heuvel was also telegraphing just that in a Washington Post piece last year.

... and Kentucky’s liberal and tea party groups — unlikely bedfellows, to be sure — are mulling the possibility of teaming up in an effort to bring McConnell down.

But everyone needs to be aware that while the Tea Party wanted to bring McConnell down, the goal of vanden Heuvel and Progressives/Democrats was to ensure a weakened Republican would run against the Dem's machine candidate.
