On Osama’s Death Day, Chris Matthews Waits Just 43 Seconds to Launch Into Another Birther Rant
Chris Matthews' obsession with birthers didn't take a break on the day after the killing of Osama bin Laden. Only 43 seconds into Monday's show on the terrorist, the Hardball anchor connected, “Barack Obama. The cool hand directs the operation step by step. All this time, the crazies were talking birth certificates, he was working.” Politicizing the death of the man who murdered 3000 people, Matthews berated, ” Will this make the Republicans look for someone who can do what Obama can do? Or will they keep on celebrating the clown show?” The liberal cable host jeered, “Will they stop enjoying their passion and go from cheering their buffoon parade to finding a real pick to put up against a proven master and commander?” [Video to follow shortly] Later, Matthews interviewed Politico's John Harris and Major Garrett of National Journal. Garret paraphrased Obama from 2008 on fighting terrorism and opined, “'I'm going to fight it hard. I'm going to think about it new and prosecute that war more aggressively than the current president,' which he has done.”
