It's no surprise, on this forum, but the Lib media will never understand.

Chris Matthews, on Monday's "Hardball," mocked Florida GOP Senate candidate Marco Rubio for pondering, on his Twitter page, that the "situation in Iran would be a little different if they had a 2nd Amendment like ours." Matthews, completely missing the point that our Founding Fathers understood that it is much harder to repress a free people that is armed, derided Rubio in the "Sideshow" portion of his June 22 show:
CHRIS MATTHEWS: Next up, a reminder to think before you hit the "send" button. You've all seen what's happening in the streets of Tehran. How people are getting beaten, getting hit with tear gas, getting shot. Take a look at what Republican Senate candidate Marco Rubio of Florida posted on his Twitter page after watching those scenes that we've been watching. Quote: "I have a feeling the situation in Iran would be a little different if they had a 2nd Amendment like ours." Wow! Things would be different if the protestors had the Constitutional right to bear arms?! To fight back against the Iranian Guard? I hadn't thought of that. Then again it wouldn't really be a non-violent protest, would it Mr. Rubio, if the non-violent protestors were walking around with guns!

"If every Jewish and anti-nazi family in Germany had owned a Mauser rifle and twenty rounds of ammunition and the will to use it, Adolf Hitler would be a little-known footnote to the history of the Weimar Republic."

"Our Founding Fathers, having endured the tyranny of the British Empire, wanted to guarantee our God-given liberties. They devised our three branches of government and our system of checks and balances. But they were still concerned that the system could fail, and that we might someday face a new tyranny from our own government. They wanted us to be able to defend ourselves, and that's why they gave us the Second Amendment."
Mike Huckabee
"Today's liberals wish to disarm us so they can run their evil and oppressive agenda on us. The fight against crime is just a convenient excuse to further their agenda. I don't know about you, but if you hear that Williams' guns have been taken, you'll know Williams is dead."
Walter Williams, Professor of Economics, George Mason University.
"There is no doubt in my mind that millions of lives could have been saved if the [German] people were not brainwashed about gun ownership and had been well armed. ... Gun haters always want to forget the Warsaw Ghetto uprising, which is a perfect example of how a ragtag, half-starved group of Jews took 10 handguns and made asses out of the Nazis."
Theodore Haas, Dachau Survivor
Chris Matthews will NEVER get it.....

The only thing he does get is that funny feeling up his leg....

Isn't that the first symptom when the kool-aid starts kicking in?

Matthews is a blowhard, although occasionally funny, I prefer the SNL version. However, this has to be a record for "shout-O-vision" stupidity. I doubt even Hanity could top it. "If the protestors were armed it wouldn't be a non-violent rotest"
Yikes! Good Grief! ::)
A. The protestors are gettng shot down in the street, which seems pretty violent to me.
B A regime like Iran's won't leave quietly so an EFFECTIVE protest seems like what you want, rather than a non-violent one, but maybe I'm missing the point.

I did notice once again a disarmed populace who is being repressed by the armed thugs in power. Funney how the State media doesn't see this fact.
