During a short statement where Matthews was praising Obama for getting reelected after all that he’s been through or something, Chris Matthews said that he’s thankful for the hurricane last week because of the political opening it gave Obama:

You can’t have it both ways Chrissy. The hurricane you say politically helped your president win reelection also killed well over 100 people and wrought destruction that has left many homeless and without food and water. That’s the storm you are thankful for?

Yeah, as long as your guy wins reelection, you don’t seem to care about the lives that were taken or ruined along the way.

Tooo bad Matthews didn't have parents or children living in the Rockaways or Staten Island! Maybe if his family members died he would be singing a DIFFERENT tune! He is a dumb jerk!!! An empty headed ass!!!!

We all know that Matthews suffers from progressive dementia, but what scares me the most is that he still has listeners. I don't have any hope that he will ever become a decent good man.

This "thrill up the leg" idiot apologized, but it's too late, the damaging remark was already said, and I live in the area where the storm hit and we lost power, no gas, lines for 3 hours and the stations then ran out. There are people that had bigger problems, but this guy is a complete brainless fool. It just proves that the lamestream media is screwed up. I dont know how the networks let Matthews continue to report.

If the lamestream media would report the truth, I would be willing to bet that Romney would have won, I am sure most of you agree.

Why is this jerk still on TV? Oh, that's right, he's a flaming liberal with a big mouth. THAT is why he's allowed to say whatever he wants on TV. What was I thinking.

I am suprised that no one remembers during the finanacial melt down in 2008 Mc Cain wanted to suspend his campaign and go back to the Senate and handle the crisis.The Media mocked him. When our P O S sorry wanted to type P O T U S,used it for a photo op they praise him.

Well lets see, the thread is about Chris Mathews and his storm comment. Seems rather obvious. Unless you're just being sarcastic. By the way "too" is adverb meaning also. You should have used the preposition "to". To, two and too are Homophones which are words that sound the same but have different spellings/ meanings.

I'm so ****ing tired of the bullshit that comes from this man and the rest of the media. Unbelievable. "I'm glad 107 people died because it helped a Marxist get re-elected."

What is happening to this country? I'm finding it hard to shake off the sadness from last night. Has America really become a place where socialists can go on TV and talk about death of American citizens being good politically with no repercussions?

Augh. I want to move to Texas, where at least there's some sanity.

...TitaniumEagle move up here to Canada since you have Obama care now and if you do not purchase a U.S. Government approved health plan in which you will be fined or imprisoned . At least up here the great white NORTH you are not penalized with the threat of being fined or imprisoned for not purchasing such plans but also we pay a much lower tax rate than you will be paying come January 2013 . Think about it also plenty of work up here if one wants to work or open up a business where you are REWARDED GENEROUSLY for your SWEAT and LABOUR . So come up here my freind we are also BLESSED because our Conservative Government are STAUNCH supporters of the State of ISRAEL . Bring your family and friends for there is plenty of room for all LIBERTY LOVING PATRIOTS ."

...G-D of Abraham , what is your plan in having President Barack HUSSEIN Obama re elected as the Commander in Chief of the U.S.A..

That's what liberals have in their DNA, winning at any cost, even if it means people dying. And they wonder why we hate them so. Well, Chris, don't get too happy. The election was almost 50/50. So half of the United States thinks you're a jerk. I hope you can live with that, Chris.

It is time to turn off the talking heads at MSNBC. Don't even repost them. They have no audience other than a handful of morons. What they say is unimportant. Let them talk to themselves.

I don't understand why this guy is still on the air , or his network for that matter .

E. Lee Zimmerman
E. Lee Zimmerman

Amen, girl. From what I can recall (as to why/how he's still on the air), I thought I'd heard or read somewheres that he cleverly had a clause put into his MSNBC contract that required NBC to hire him directly to the main network (NBC) IF they cancelled his MSNBC gig. Now, I could be wrong on the particulars, but I thought I'd read or heard that somewheres.

But, I agree: I hope everyone on our side of the aisle is hearing the hate still being spewed DESPITE their winning the election. It shows how classless these charlatans are, and it underscores why I believe we need to have all of them deposed.

John Cusack announces that he's working on bringing his version of a Rush Limbaugh film to the cinemas? I want to know where the folks are on our side who are working on bringing a Chris Matthews film to the screener ... except that DUMB & DUMBER was already made awhile back.

Oh , I see they'd rather keep that nut at their "sister station" than at their flag ship station . If I were in charge I'd have him proof reading the phone book in the broom closet of the basement .

Yeah I heard About Cucack's movie . You know how much "research" will go into that. I hope Rush sues the pants off him and anyone involved in it.

Hey ! Those guys in Dumb and Dumber were JUST dumb , Matthews is way past Dumb .

AS I have stated 3 or four times now, I will never forgive Chris Christie for providing Obama with photo ops. I will do everything I can to make sure he doesnt make it past the primaries if he should decide to run.

Obama didnt do anything but show up tour, hug Christie, smile for the camera and then jet to Las Vegas. Oh yeah he also had Christie meet and greet Bruce the poser Springstein , where Chrisie broke down in tears.

People slamming Romney today----He's a respectful family man, and I honestly dont think he would run our Country down--into the ditch. His plan for us would have been an improvement... Sure he's not conservative, and he is far from perfect- but Obama is still a miserable failure and his policies go against every one of my beliefs and values.

Call me cynical but frankly NJ and NY put their faith in Barky Boy and he left them to drown, starve and freeze to death. They voted for his re-election anyway. Time to stop donating and let them fend for themselves.
