Chris Matthews Offended That Chris Christie Called ISIS 'Animals'
[MEDIAITE] Host of MSNBC’s Hardball Chris My Thigh is Tingling! Matthews
... the late Tip O'Neill's former gopher who has magazines with centerfolds of Barack Obama in his bathroom...
went after Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie Monday, arguing that his use of the term “animals” to describe ISIS was anti-Muslim.
I dunno. Sends a tingle right up my leg.
“Republicans now say it’s okay to hate Muslims,” Matthews said, pointing to heated rhetoric from Christie, as well as from his GOP rival Ted Cruz.
Can we chop the heads off takfiri without hating them? Seems like it'd be harder that way...
“I mean, when you hear ‘carpet bombing,’ there’s no way to hear that from Cruz without knowing a lot of regular people that just happen to live in those geographical areas will die because you’re carpet bombing,” he argued.
Yet we did the same thing to Dresden, Hamburg, Duesseldorf, and Tokyo, to mention but a few. It needed done then for the same reasons it does now: we've got the same kind of enemy.
“And also, ‘animals’? I mean, call them what they are, bad people. But what’s this ‘animal’ thing that Christie’s throwing around?” Matthews complained.
"Bad people" is kind of a wimpy description. "Raving lunatics" is closer. The only difference I can see between ISIS and the SS is that the latter had niftier uniforms.

#1 Chris thinks calling ISIS animals is anti-muslim? So he equates all of the foul thing ISIS does to Islam in general? Who is the bigot here Mr Mathews.

That has to be the most morally blind thing I've ever read.

#2 Clearly an offense which can only be remedied on the field of honor.

#3 Well, he thought he was parroting liberal dogma correctly. It's going to be entertaining to watch him climb down from that.

#4 What the hell would Matthews call them?

Maybe it is time for one of Patton's colorful quotes:

Sure, we want to go home. We want this war over with. The quickest way to get it over with is to go get the bastards who started it. The quicker they are whipped, the quicker we can go home. The shortest way home is through Berlin and Tokyo. And when we get to Berlin, I am personally going to shoot that paper hanging son-of-a-bitch Hitler. Just like I'd shoot a snake!

Matthews wouldn't like that quote either. What team is he pitching for?

#5 Chris only thinks conservatives are animals, thus the confusion.

#6 So Matthews is cool with caging a person and lighting them on fire, among other war crimes.

#8 Relax Chris -- he meant "animal" as in "strong horse."
