Chris Matthews is a commentator on a failed, last place network. Ironically, he has the BALLS to talk about extremists when his network is FULL of them...including himself.

Now, if someone on the right were to call someone like debbie wasserman schultz the 'Grand Wizard'....it would be twisted into RACISM...somehow making it a reference to obama being black. Yet the lefties here say...well...he retracted it...he apologized.

The double standard continuously exhibited by the left is simply commonplace these days.

Check your facts. MSNBC is the #2 cable news network and beats CNN in most time-slots:

It is about reigning in government scope and size. It is about fiscal responsibility and an eventual balanced budget amendment to stop ANY politician from giving the buddies all the goodies and treasury away.

Where in trouble fiscally, the T Party is a collection of people there mostly because of the fiscal issues. They can be all over the board on social issues since they are not there for that.

There are kooks everywhere, sometimes there are plants in places to make people look bad.
I really think there is nothing about race regarding conservatives or the T Party, it's all fiscal for the most part.

If you want to say there is a war over the future fiscal direction of the country, that would be more correct IMO.

We are a short time away from becoming Greece and it would be smarter to get this fixed rather than pointing to others to call them the Klan.
I'm sure you can find people stupid enough to be with the Klan, La Raza, NAACP, the new Black Panther party and so forth, but thank God they don't have any respect for their racism by main stream America.
Really?

Which is way more than Rush did after his three-day assault on a young woman.

As you can read, the right-wing backs hysterical policies that make the U.S. fiscal situation worse.

Anyone who claims the U.S. is "a short time away from becoming Greece" has no credibility.

Greek debt is projected to rise to 149 percent of GDP over the next few years — and that’s with the austerity measures agreed with the IMF.

Here’s a more or less apples-to-apples comparison of the medium-term outlook. If one takes the Auerbach-Gale projections for the US budget deficit as a percentage of GDP outlook under Obama policies, and compared them with the IMF projections for Greece, subtracting out “measures” — that is, the austerity measures agreed in return for official loans. Here’s what it looks like:
