2015 is drawing to a close, so unless some dark horse comes out of absolutely nowhere, Chris Matthews has a lock on the DisHonor award for the year's worst analogy.
On this evening's Hardball, Matthews argued that we shouldn't blame Islam for ISIS terrorist attacks since, after all, FDR, despite despising Mussolini, "never declared war on the Catholics." Just a little difference: Italian fascism had no ideological affinity with Catholicism. To the contrary, it was rooted in notions of the revival of the Roman Empire of the Caesars. In contrast, you can't spell ISIS without "Islamic." To say that we are at war with radical Islam is simply to acknowledge the manifest truth. For Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton to deny it is dangerous.

Chris Matthews unloads year’s lamest analogy.
Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
Dipshit. Mussolini didn’t do what he did in the name of Catholicism. He did it in the name of his religion - national socialism
Is there no IQ test for these people?
OK Chris let the “refugees” live in your house
Exactly.
At the time of the Philadelphia train derailment, Mathews said that Republicans treat Hispanics the way they treat trains. That was also a pretty stupid statement.
“FDR Didn’t Blame Catholics for Mussolini, So Don’t Blame Islam Now”
Matthews is completely ignorant.
Mussolini was a communist. He later split with the Kremlin controlled party leaders and became head of the fascists.
Liberals like Cwissy still blame Catholics for helping Hitler.
Pray America wakes
Of course there is. One has to have an IQ below room temperature to work at MSNBC
And when the people caught up with him and his cohorts at that gas station, they didn’t hang him in the name of religion either. They were just p*ssed, keep pushing us Chris.
Yet liberals are constantly claiming that nazis were Christians.
I think the word is ‘non sequitur’,
or simply BS.
For anyone who thinks that ISIS is new and not islamic, please read The River War by Winston Churchill. It recounts the war against a caliphate almost identical to ISIS that rose up in Sudan in the late 1800s.
It is available as a free book on most readers, including Kindle, or here as a PDF.

Mussolini was an atheist.
I will blame Crissy for Mussolini because Crissy is Catholic and he would have loved to have had Mussolini for a leader.
What a stupid comparison!
Hell the liberals have their own Socialist President and Candidates running to the Dem Nomination
“And Clinton didn’t blame conservatives for the Oklahoma bombing... if he had why we in the media would have been outraged!”
He can’t really be that much of a nit-wit.
He’s just pretending.
