This was weird.
Since when did the left start demonizing killer Marxists?… Or, Marxists of any stripe?… What about the Mao balls on the White House Christmas tree?
Chris Matthews today compared the GOP to the killer Khmer Rouge regime of Cambodia.
Via NewsBusters:
Here’s the transcript:
What’s going on out there in the Republican Party is kind of a frightening, almost Cambodia re-education camp going on in that party, where they’re going around to people, sort of switching their minds around saying, if you’re not far right, you’re not right enough.
Wasn’t Bernie Goldberg just complaining about those awful Kool-Aid drinkers on the right?
It would be interesting to get his take on this.

De-Marxify commented:
Matthews is a very mediocre intellect.
Daniel commented:
I watch the news that tells me something I should know. What gives me pause.
His show? Not so much.
He isn’t even a thrill – of any kind.
And less than mediocre.
Chisum commented:
Matthews can’t possibly be this dumb, can he?
He’s desperate for ratings.
John Fembup commented:
Mathews . . . Mathews . . . Isn’t he the guy who says he forgot the president is black? For an hour? While he was allegedly watching the president give a speech? With his own eyes?
After that lost hour of course, Mathews expects everyone to believe his eyesight has returned, so that now — now — he sees perfectly!
And what he imagines he sees now is that people with whom he disagrees politically are killers – not seeing the obvious fact that the Khmer Rouge actually, you know, killed people.
And another imaginary thing Mathews thinks he sees is that conservatives let just about anyone switch our minds around.
At least Mathews is on the perfect network for him. He doesn’t see the people. And the people don’t see him.
opaobie commented:
As usual, Matthews has it backwards. Didn’t we just read that the LEFT is now using the public schools to indoctrinate public school kids, even to the point of requiring the reading of Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals”?
BurmaShave commented:
One thing is for sure: Matthews “is not right enough” to qualify as a proper journalist, committed to being factual.
OCBill commented:
I think the loneliness must be driving Matthews crazy. I think even Joy Behar (aka Perez Hilton in drag), gets higher ratings now than he does.
Roscoe commented:
Matthews is a loon, what else can you say!
Callipygian1 commented:
Rumor has it that Matthews has a mirror placed behind each of the cameras he speaks to when he broadcasts… so that at least one person watches his show.
wanumba commented:
Whaaat? Matthews doesn’t have an original bone in his body. He’s a mouthpiece for the latest DNC Left faxed construct, that’s IT.
If he believes all this classic projection demonization, then he’s an idiot, but regardless, he’s paid to spread it whether he believes it or not.
Something to remember, the Hutus spewed hate against the Tutsi via the Rwandan media for a long time, exactly this sort of wild claims and nasty, whipping people up to make that last deadly step over the line – the Tutsi were so dangerous and evil it was right, it was needed to get rid of them.
See Matthews looking into the camera breathlessly pushing all manner of falsehoods to incite one group of people to hate another just because of political disagreement. He’s one of many paid provocateurs now, no better than the Hutu media enablers demonizing one group of people for political and power gains.
Solaratov commented:
One cannot help, of course, but wonder what chrissy was saying about the khmer rouge back when the USA pulled out of SEAsia.
Somehow, I doubt that he felt that they were such a terrible group at that time.
jorgen commented:
“Chris Matthews Compares the GOP to the Killer Khmer Rouge Regime”
It is easy to test if he is right: Does O’barmy bow to GOP?
Charlie commented:
My sympathies go out to the person who has to watch MSNBC to give us all these clips Chris Matthews.
Opus #6 commented:
This is projection.
Like an adulterer will keep accusing their spouse of infidelity.
maria commented:
Who cares what he said. Nobody of integrity watch that Chanel.
Jack commented:
Chris Mathews = vile shite.
RedBeard commented:
Why does Matthews even have a job? Well, it can’t be the ratings. Has to be that the MSNBC bosses are as nasty and warped as he is.
BigAlSouth commented:
Matthews used to be interesting. He used to be relevant. He used to be amusing at times.
Used to be.
mike191 commented:
Mr.Matthews is a direct reflection of the Democractic partys’spiral from his days under Mario Cumo’s influence to the abyss of Obama.
Marsh commented:
Gotta love how the left brings up genocidal leftist regimes to denounce the right without blinking an eye.
squeaky commented:
[“The greatest gift our country can give the Cambodian people is not guns but peace. And the best way to accomplish that goal is by ending military aid now.” The American Congress cut off all military aid to Cambodia and South Vietnam.] those infamous words from cris dodd. the rest is history. kindda’
difficult to defend yourself when someone pulls the rug out from under you.
kansas commented:
More people find out what Matthews says on sites reporting what a moron he is than actually watch his show.
Tom63010 commented:
….and the problem is?
Obama is a commie commented:
The Western left and specially the american left were the most important friends of the khmer rouge, they helped more than anyone to all the genocides in southeast asia (and in the world).
