I hope Chris Matthews has a good set of knee pads. he really needs them.
MATTHEWS:
These anti-government patriot groups have skyrocketed in number during
President Obama’s time in office. There only 149 groups back in 2008 and
2012. There are more than 1300 and that’s an increase of over 800
percent. Look at the chart there. Yesterday the Southern Poverty Law
Center sent a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and
Attorney General Eric Holder warning that the gun control debate may
lead to even more such groups being founded. Mark Potok is a respected
guy for us. He’s with the Southern Poverty Law Center. And Brian Levin
is with the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California
State University, San Bernardino.
Gentlemen, I want you to start tonight. It’s your report Mark. So
lead the way here. Let me ask you this. I’m gonna get into this in my
close tonight on the show, which I feel a lot. I Look at Obama as a perfect American.
I don’t mean politically. We can disagree left and right on him. You
can argue about the drones. Argue about the fiscal policy, all that
stuff. But as a citizen. The guy went to school, he never broke a law.
He did everything right. He raised a wonderful family. He’s a good
husband, a good father. My God I don’t think he’s ever gotten a speeding
ticket. The guy does everything right and these right-wingers. And he’s
really been pretty moderate on guns until the horror of Newtown. And I
don’t know what they’re so afraid of, except that he happens to be
black. Is there some reason why he has sparked this explosion of
right-wing organizing?
"never broke a law" except, you know, for all the drug use (not that there's anything wrong with that...)
