Sometimes Chris Matthews seems like he’s heckling his own show. This clip from tonight’s “Hardball” show pretty much sums up that phenomenon in a nutshell. After MSNBC guest and Washington Post blogger Chris Cillizza gave a long, somewhat fawning description of former President Bill Clinton’s gift for political tactics, Matthews couldn’t resist getting in a barnyard level dig at Republicans who accuse President Obama of socialist leanings, calling them “Jackasses on the Right.” Watch the clip below:
‘Jackasses’: Chris Matthews’ Label for Conservatives Who Suspect President Obama of Socialist Leanings

Jun. 5, 2012 at 9:52pmThe “Jackasses” in American would like to see Obama and Co. along with alot of Congress tried for Constitutional treason with the death penalty attached if found guilty. Such trials do not depend upon a majority vote. The minority has the authority under the Constitution.

Jun. 6, 2012 at 6:16amHey Crissy I’m one of your Jackasses. Sweet Old Baracks father, mother and maternal grandparents were all involved with the CPUSA. He attended Occidental College (advocate of communism) and after graduation from Harvard he hung out with Bill Ayers/Bernadette Dorn and their buddies in
Chicago. He brought several admirers of socialism (and a few communists) into the white house.
Naw, none of that indicates that he might be socialists does it. If you make a determination based on this info you jusrt don’t understand.
Sweet Old Barack is a socialist Chrissy and what he plans if he gets reelected will outrage even ignorant commentators like you.

My two daddies are making a combined $1000 a month they have to pay out $800 a month for the house we live in, they give me $300 a month. These two want me to give up $100 so we can afford to continue to live in this house. I say no make my neighbor and the bank that was forced to give us the money to pay for it!
Why should we have to live with in our means? Now that gives me a thrill up my leg!!

He just might be a marxist, so Chrissy would be right in saying he isn’t a socialist :)

Jun. 5, 2012 at 8:59pmNotice how the worst the lefties can find to say about conservatives is to call them names???????????
Thay can find no factual data upon which to base their dislike for conservs, so they revert to second-grade name-calling!!!!!!!!!!!

Jun. 5, 2012 at 8:45pmI can’t believe they have such a dumba$$ posing as a journalist. Mr. Mahews, conservatives are the farthest thing from Jackasses. they belong to the elephant party not the ass(donkey) party. Besides when did you wake up? Conservatives do not “suspect” Obama of socialist leanings. They have a mountain of evidence that Obama is not leaning toward socialism, but is a standing up straight communist. When I was a youngster communism was the arch enemy of the USA. It still is to most of us; even many Donkeys,

Jun. 5, 2012 at 8:41pmI don’t suspect BHO of being a socialist, I know for a fact he’s a communist. I would say watch his speech at the 04 DNC, as I watched and listened all I could think was this guy is a communist and dangerous.
Was I right? Yea I think that’s confirmed.

Jun. 5, 2012 at 9:53pmYep, he’s a dictator, but he tries that Chavez **** here and he’s going down. All that piece of Cr@p had to say was, “Don’t you believe in redistributing the wealth?”. That said all I needed to hear. Though there is more to his communications than such idiotic statements. The moron oozes communism. I don’t think the bastard has any idea what an American is. As much as I would like to, I hope we don’t have to teach him the hard way! Chris Matthews is a tool.
