Apparently Chris Matthews
is getting warmed up for next Tuesday’s live election coverage.
Tonight, while reflecting on the head-stomping incident at the Rand Paul
event, Matthews said that “this is the kind of stuff we saw from
hoodlums in the thirties in another country I will not mention.” Three
guesses history buffs!The head-stomping people also remind Matthews of Joe Miller’s private security team up in Alaska who handcuffed the reporter to the chair. What is the deal with these people who are “supposed to be good old American Tea Partiers?” Morever: “When are these people going to start wearing uniforms…I mean it isn’t far from what we saw in the thirties where political parties started showing up in uniforms.”
Actually, I think we are still pretty far from the Tea Party (or any other political group in this country) doing anything to justify a Nazi comparison, how about, people in large crowds frequently act like idiots. Or as Chris Cillizza calmly notes, “at the end of campaigns passions get very inflamed and sometimes people act inappropriately.” Matthews remains unconvinced. Watch below.
