Chris Matthews Offended That Chris Christie Called ISIS 'Animals'
[MEDIAITE] Host of MSNBC’s Hardball  Chris My Thigh is Tingling!Matthews ... the late Tip O'Neill's former gopher who has magazines with centerfolds of Barack Obama in his bathroom... went after Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie Monday, arguing that his use of the term “animals” to describe ISIS was anti-Muslim. I dunno. Sends a tingle right up my leg. “Republicans now say it’s okay to hate Muslims,” Matthews said, pointing to heated rhetoric from Christie, as well as from his GOP rival Ted Cruz. Can we chop the heads off takfiri without hating them? Seems like it'd be harder that way... “I mean, when you hear ‘carpet bombing,’ there’s no way to hear that from Cruz without knowing a lot of regular people that just happen to live in those geographical areas will die because you’re carpet bombing,” he argued. Yet we did the same thing to Dresden, Hamburg, Duesseldorf, and Tokyo, to mention but a few. It needed done then for the same reasons it does now: we've got the same kind of enemy. “And also, ‘animals’? I mean, call them what they are, bad people. But what’s this ‘animal’ thing that Christie’s throwing around?” Matthews complained. "Bad people" is kind of a wimpy description. "Raving lunatics" is closer. The only difference I can see between ISIS and the SS is that the latter had niftier uniforms. Posted by: Fred 2015-12-16 |
