Chris Matthews: Rand Paul, Ted Cruz "political terrorists" on a mission to blow up America [Archive]

this guy accused Paul of "treason" a few months ago for trying to lower taxes or something.

They are political terrorists. And like all terrorists including those that use bombs, their number one goal-- their only goal-- is to blow things up.

Cruz, Paul, and Mike Lee are on a mission to destroy...the American government.

speaking of Matthews. remember when msnbc smeared Rand for 24hours on that CRA thing, then they trotted out Matthews to issue the "correction" admitting Rand did not actually say he wouldn't vote against the CRA? I've been searching for a tube of that for awhile now and have come up empty. It appears to have been whitewashed from the net. if anybody has/can find a copy I'd appreciate it.

Rand held a press conference the day after his Maddow appearance saying he would have voted for it, which to my knowledge was the first time he'd publicly stated that he'd have done so.

A conservative, a guy none of us have even figured out yet (Or at least I haven't) and an Israel-first borderline neo-con are trying to "Bring down the US government."

If they're terrorists, I guess Ron is Adolf Hitler:rolleyes:

According to McCain during the 2008 primaries, yes that would be correct.

From two months ago but germane to the OP:

Maybe Matthews wanted Rand in the Senate with the goal of trying to marginalize him. I cannot forget that Matthews destroyed Jack Conway in that outdoor interview leading up to the general election in 2010. I still wonder why..

Two observations about the video:

1) Rand Paul has a two-and-half year voting record and hours of speeches. So Liz Winstead has, indeed, had plenty of time to "get to know" Rand Paul.

2) The other guest (Dana Milbank) called Rand an "intellectual." I like that. :D

The CRA is a more important issue than I think most of us think it is. It undermines the Constitution AND the freedom of association. That's a very important issue.

At the end of the day, I obviously know Rand agrees with us, even if he does dance around it.

Right, but for 24hours they ran with the meme that Rand said on maddow that he would have NOT voted for it, they even put up an incorrect transcript on their website claiming that. Then after a full day, they trotted out Matthews to issue the correction, admitting he did NOT say he wouldn't have voted for it. that's what I've been trying to find.

These red worms actually provide a service to mankind whereas the two red wriggling worms on either side of Matthews gassy pie hole deliver nothing but evil for mankind. Sort of a reverse composting thing with Matthews, a re-putrefaction of sorts.

They did that with Ron, not Rand. I believe it was a CNN Sunday morning interview that you're referencing.

Man I need the power he has to see into the heart of a man and know what he really wants/believes. Anyone that sinks to character attacks instead of using reason to dismantle someone elses arguments, has already failed and should not be allowed a place on the national stage.

No, they did it with Rand. Ron has always said he would have voted against the CRA.

There was a transcript of Ron that stated he wouldn't have voted to repeal Jim Crow laws, when he had in fact (as he always had) said the opposite. Sure that wasn't it?

Nope. Here is a post about it.

PAUL: I mean, I think you've been fair, but if your network all day says a lie about my position, I won't come back on. So I think journalists, good journalists understand that you have to present both sides, you ask tough questions. But you can't go on and then as a journalist misrepresent something. And I think even they realize they overstepped their bounds on that because they are now saying what my correct position is and have admitted it never was my position otherwise.

That wasn't MSNBC putting out an incorrect transcript, that was them running under the assumption that since Rand hadn't publicly stated he'd have voted for the CRA, but had publicly said multiple times that he had issues with it, he would have voted against it. Not really that big a leap, if you ask me. Rand was spinning there.

Unless you're talking about this:

Rand Paul is a terrorist that wants to shut down the federal government? Rand uses truth bombs, but Chris Matthews wouldn't have any idea what those are. Terrorists out to lower America's credit rating? Excellent. Now we have a reason to eliminate the banks. That makes them uber-ninja jihadists after what they did to us. NDAA the bitchez.

MSNBC Finishes Last in Ratings for Third Consecutive Month (http://newsbusters.org/blogs/randy-hall/2013/07/31/cnns-ratings-keep-climbing-top-msnbc-third-straight-month)

By Randy Hall | July 31, 2013 | 20:45

The bad news just keeps on coming for the openly left-wing liberal MSNBC channel, which is now in fourth place behind Fox News Channel, CNN and HLN after losing 12 percent of its viewers from a year ago. CNN, meanwhile, had another strong month.

This may have something to do with it.

basically, those that hate freedom have already destroyed this country, but mostly have brought a heavy weight upon those of us that love and live by freedom.

To be honest here people, its seriously about time to start dragging the traitors from the back of a pickup truck very soon. These people are directly reliant upon their money masters for their lifestyles. It's time now people. Let's stop waiting, while we watch the innocents fall to their graves.

That is what government propaganda does, it takes certain ideas "off the table" by labeling them in this manner.

I absolutely *LOVE* it when turds like this come tumbling out of the mouths of blowhards like Matthews.

It only serves to further expose these grotesques (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grotesque) for what they really are - a bunch of hyperbolically braying jackasses.

Keep 'em comin', Chrissy baby ... (how's that leg, by the way?) ...

While you're here, out of curiosity, do you even actually trust Ted Cruz?

Well, there was Beck telling the world that RP and his supporters were terrorists after that very successful money "bomb" on Guy Fawkes Day.

Link?

I wasn't around when this happened so I don't remember it. Most of what I've heard from Beck recently (Not much) hasn't been that bad.

Link? I wasn't around when this happened so I don't remember it.
In this video from November 2007 (post Guy Falwkes Day, pre-Tea Party '07), Glen Beck admits that Ron Paul supporters epitomize the disenfranchisement felt by most American citizens, and were the one group "rallying to create a dramatic political shift."
At the same time he labels Paul supporters "fringe" who are likely to engage in acts of domestic terrorism. He states that this is indicated by our violent rhetoric i.e. "Money bomb", "Revolution", "Guy Falkes". Beck equates Guy Falwkes - and by extension Paul supporters - with Timothy Mcveigh.

Note that this is the exact same tactic that would later be employed by the establishment "left", to slander the media-approved tea party. ("Violent! Dangerous! Racist! Oh, the rhetoric!") It should also be noted that Ron Paul supporters originated the symbolic use of both the "Tea Party" AND Guy Falkes for protesting - imagery later adopted by the establishment-approved, "tea party" and "Occupy" movements.

Being called a political terrorist in this country is an honor. I do want to blow it up, each and every department. I yearn for the day when D.C. isn't the wealthiest metropolitan area and returns to being the backwater it should be.

While you're here, out of curiosity, do you even actually trust Ted Cruz?

I have no idea what "even actually" is supposed to indicate in this context. I also don't see what Cruz (or "trust" for him) has to do with what I said.

I could not possibly care less about Cruz, one way or the other. I am pretty much utterly indifferent to him.

And I do not trust any politicians - ever. Not even Ron Paul.

I may support some politicians (such as Ron Paul) because they do the right thing sufficiently often to deserve it. But trust them? Never.

But as far as Ted Cruz (or anyone else) being a "political terrorist" in the sense Chris Matthews used the term - that's just a bunch of idiotic drivel.
