Chris Matthews will be hobbling around Tampa until the foot he broke off in Reince's behind heals up...

1. Reince was about to cry, he said " you can sit there and giggle..." then a panel full of white peopl

...said it was "just a joke"

assholes

8. "just a joke", my ass

As someone who has been the recipient of copious and insidious verbal abuse in my lifetime, I recognize that bullshit. And that's what it is: BULLSHIT. Insults, dog whistles and various other types of racist, sexist, or homophobic slurs are often thinly disguised as "jokes". They are not jokes. They are intended to do harm. If the object of them or an observer of the abuse complains, (s)he/they are told they "have no sense of humor, can't you take a "joke"?" - while the chest-thumping thugs giggle - just like Rinse Penis did in that segment.

I'd like to slap that goddamned fucking smirk off of his face --- with a sledgehammer.

Those dishing out such abuse and racist slurs not only lack any sensitivity at all, but in this case, they are psychopaths. Their personality disorders go far beyond just not having sensitivity to fully lacking a goddamned conscience. To top that off, they are among the most ignorant of the human species -- the knuckle-draggers who somehow managed to avoid intellectual evolution.

Chris Matthews was right to call out this BULLSHIT. And that's exactly what it is. How refreshing to see them confronted with it.

15. I once had a right-wing Christian fundy acquaintance tell me with absolute malevolence in his

voice and face that all gays "should be burned alive." When my brother called him on it a few days later, he claimed "Oh, I was just joking." Yeah, right.

This was back in the early 80s at the dawn of the Age of Reagan-Bush, mind you, so these habits have been in place among this crew for a long time.

2. Chris burried him.

4. Hope they don't do a Olbermann on him

It's like he's been itching to get it off his chest but I know he's still a weathervane.

[Auntie Bush]

16. I think he broke that weathervane a couple years ago.

He's 100% democratic now and I love his comments and opinions...especially of ReThugs.

18. I think Chris finally realized that a time comes when you absolutely must take a stand!!!!!

And that time has definitely come!

[slor]

7. Lol...

That is funny!

[Hey Jude]

9. Unfortunately the few people who actually saw the program

Have posted about it here.

[Greybnk48]

12. I disagree Jude. I know gajillions of people

who watch Mourning Joe (gag) who don't routinely watch the cable news shows in the afternoon or evening. Especially during the RNC convention. This was amazing!!

[highplainsdem]

13. "Chris Matthews" is still trending on Twitter, most posts I've seen linking to video on one

website or another. This has already gone viral.

[ToxMarz]

17. Don't think it's just a few

My Republican Fox News watching Mom watches Morning Joe often. I hope she saw it!

[central scrutinizer]

10. Mathews' foot couldn't go too far up because there was a head in the way

nfm

[BumRushDaShow]

14. Your post keeps making me

so I had to respond to say that.

[rateyes]

23. Whose head was it?

He needs a plexiglass navel to see where he is going.

[Pisces]

11. That was a thing of beauty and should happen more often. The repukes need to know they will be held

accountable for the garbage they spew!! When Rinse Penis said look at healthcare called Obamacare I almost spit out
my coffee. The republicans named it Obamacare to make it sound bad, now that Obama took the name and owned it they are mad.
Go Tweety Go!! I hope they don't try and stifle him from up top. Let Tweety loose!!

[librechik]

20. admirers will rush to carry him on their shoulders --WE LOVE YOU CHRIS!!!

[Grammy23]

21. Saw this live this morning---

And almost fell off my chair watching it all unfold. Earlier in the broadcast, Rinse had made the comment (that went unchallenged) about Obama "stealing" the $716 B from Medicare funds. No one questioned his use of the word "steal"....loaded as it is with meaning....and my husband and I were expressing frustration over the fact that NO ONE spoke up and asked him why he used that word. And then Lo and Behold! Chris gets his turn at bat and just takes Rinse to the woodshed and back! I was actually clapping and cheering and saying, "Go Chris, Go!"

Watching Rinse sputter and try to get a snappy come back ready to spew was a thing of beauty. And Chris was ready for all of his BS, talking point answers. Rinse's first response (as always) was to go to the Trash Obama line. Chris basically stopped him in his tracks. Then it was on to more BS and just about to sink to name calling and then going to the "he is looking to Europe for answers" when Chris finally had a belly full of his nonsense and stuck his knife in to the hilt with his "You don't know your history" retort!

What I liked was Chris was animated and sitting forward on his seat and ready for battle. It was as if someone punched his buttons and he just let it all hang out.

My only concern is: Will he be punished by the powers that be? Will he be tossed from the Convention Coverage? Hope not. But if they do, guess he can just set up shop nearby and keep on speaking the truth and asking the HARD questions of the asshats who insist on touting the party line.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

22. wow. with MEEK-er trying to play nice to everyone, and Joe telling Chris to stop being mean.

Priebus came out looking like the ass he is.
