Chris Matthews is attacking "Medicare for Life" and other matters from the right.

Right now on MSNBC. The Hillary rep is on there saying "both candidates support universal healthcare."

Now he's on there saying that Hillary should call him a socialist, not a Democrat.

Seriously, I have a hunch that is what determines his entire political viewpoint.

Tweety on George Bush in May 2003, praising him for the Iraq War:


MATTHEWS: We're proud of our president. Americans love having a guy as president, a guy who has a little swagger, who's physical, who's not a complicated guy like Bill Clinton or even like ormer Democratic presidential candidates Dukakis or Mondale, all those guys, McGovern. They want a guy who's president. Women like a guy who's president. Check it out. The women like this war. I think we like having a hero as our president. It's simple. We're not like the Brits. We don't want an indoor prime minister type, or the Danes or the Dutch or the Italians, or a [Russian Federation President Vladimir] Putin. Can you imagine Putin getting elected here? We want a guy as president.

I have been watching him for the past several weeks and he just cannot take Bernie's success -- it is driving him NUTS. And the past few days he has just come unhinged, truly barking mad in his dislike. Yeah, his wife is running and planning on Clinton's coattails to win, but I think it goes deeper than that. His visceral attacks on Bernie being a socialist could be right out of HUAC.
