MSNBC’s Chris Matthews Believes Sarah Palin Wants Obama To Be Re-Elected…Huh, What?

Yesterday, as the 24,000 plus emails from then-Governor (and VP candidate) Sarah Palin were being released to the public, MSNBC‘s ’Palin Obsession’ shifted into a higher (and more bizarre) gear.

On last night‘s edition of ’Hardball’, host Chris Matthews asked Michael Isikoff (NBC’s Chief Investigative Correspondent) and MSNBC Political Analyst David Korn to update the country on what they have found in the Palin emails.  Isikoff responds;

Throughout this segment, both Michael Isikoff and David Korn seem to be saying, there are no real surprises in the emails, no scandals, no bombshells.

Without a concrete issue to attack, Matthews and his minions change the argument from substance to the subjective, disparaging Sarah Palin‘s intellect and alleging that her ’One Nation’ bus tour was only done to service her ego. Mr. Matthews (with an assist from David Korn) closed this discussion by veering into the far Left lane on the reality highway, stating their beliefs that Sarah Palin is not running for President in 2012.

Delivered as a throw-away line, Matthews ends the piece with his speculation that Sarah Palin wants to keep Obama as President, so she can remain the ‘Leader of the Opposition.”

(The clip is different from the one above, the still frame is just the same.)

    If Sweet Chrissie believes that Palin wants obama to be re-elected, then he should be thrilled and “tingling” that she IS going to be the GOP nominee; Perhaps he should work even harder than he already does, to make sure that Sarah Palin secures the nomination. Sarah Palin poses no threat to obama and this is why the state-run media attacks her 24/7/365 – - oh, wait a minute……..

    Let me get this straight – so, chris matthews is leaving his show to manage his own media conglomerate and start his own channel and show… no, wait, that’s not chris matthews… chris matthews has got nothing. Why is he even in the news? He’s not a journalist. He’s not even a legitimate pundit. He’s got nothing important to hear. Why do we have to keep seeing headlines about him?

    The communist left is using the same tactics as Adolf. Adolf also used the queers in his brownshirt SA with Ersnt Rohm. They were keen on man-boy love. The queers were easy pickins, like now, because no one likes them but other queers. Same was true in Germany. Useful idiots willing to thump people for some bread. When the German army came on board with Adolf, the Nazi’s tossed the queers under the bus in the “night of the long knives” with all the man boy love leaders killed. The rest of the queers melted back into the closet of don’t ask, don’t tell. Many were taken to work camps for re-education and showers. Obama uses the queers and the communists until he can extort or bribe enough military officers to do his bidding without question, which he is close to completing. Arm yourself, and learn to use your weapon! Blood will be shed soon. Let it not be your blood.

    Liberals like Matthews are incapable of getting beyond their political cynicism. That people might really love their country and put the nations welfare above their partisan interests or personal political goals is something they can‘t understand because that’s not how THEY operate. They are like the dark lord Sauron who could not imagine anyone willingly destroying they Ring of Power.
