Chris Matthews: GOP using 'Cold War CIA tactics' to bring down U.S. government
MSNBC host Chris Matthews tore into the Republican Party on his show Tuesday night, comparing their anti-government attitude to CIA-led coups during the Cold War.
"If they didn’t like a government somewhere — Guatemala, Iran, the Dominican Republic, Chile — they just brought it down," he said. "Guess what, Republicans are now using the same tactic here at home. If they don’t like who we’ve elected president, they find some way to undermine the government, discredit its leaders, whatever it takes to destroy it."
"We are using in this country the same old Cold War CIA tactics to destabilize our own country," Matthews continued. "Look at the impact of the constant threats to shut down the government on public confidence. It’s all in the ratings. It’s making people forever nervous about the basic ability of America to even have a running government. Is that patriotic? I don’t think so."
The liberal MSNBC host alleged that while President Barack Obama was attempting to keep the government running, Republicans were hoping to gain political points by refusing to compromise and crash the government.

You can see the video by clicking the link above.
After which ensues a lot of blither-blather agreeing to the premise.
So, if I understand them correctly they see themselves in the role of the Stalinist Soviets who murdered tens of millions, founded and funded terrorist organizations across the globe, set-up puppet regimes, ignited one proxy war after another, polluted their own nation, crushed their own economy and ultimately crumbled beneath the genteel touch of the supposed stumble-bum, Ronald Reagan.
And we're supposed to feel bad about being likened to the agency that opposed them?
You leftists are such dullards in so many ways it's hard to keep track of it all. Now you've exposed yourself as the quintessential threat to this nation to be opposed until you collapse.
****ing idiots.

Does anyone outside of the DUmbass echo chamber really give a shit what Captain Combover says?

Chris Matthews is desperate for ratings. He knows if he attacks Conservatives or Republicans on his show, some will watch to see/hear what Tweety is saying/singing. It's all about money. He wants to make some for MSNBC, so as not to get his ass canned (or sent to a much less profitable slot).

The GOP doesn't need to lift a finger to destabilize this country, Obama is doing a bang-up job of that all by himself.

Unfortunately, "Bend-over" Boehner and the rest of the gang are doing considerably more than "lifting a finger", and sure as shit are exacerbating the problem.

And if he needed any help, he always has Harry Reid. If republicans really wanted this country to go down, we wouldn't try to stop a thing Obama is doing.

Somebody on this site pointed out once how some DUmmy credited Rachel Maddow for "tearing into" some republican--Rush, if my memory serves. These low information DUmmies are really impressed when one of their heroes tears into some republican who isn't there to give a response.
When tingle-britches tears into someone who is there with him, he can be counted on to make a fool out of himself.
