Yes, Mr. Matthews, we do know the history of this country. Abraham Lincoln, Republican, shot by John Wilkes Booth, Democrat. William McKinley, Republican, shot by anarchist Leon Czolgosz. James Garfield, Republican, Union Officer and pastor of the second Great Awakening, shot by Charles Guiteau, warped utopian socialist,
@userunavailable3095 We also have Gerald Ford, Republican who had a near miss with Squeaky Fromme, twisted, drug addicted utopian socialist Manson follower, and Ronald Reagan who had a very close brush with death with John Hinkley Jr., twisted, drug addicted Nazi (National Socialist Party) follower.
The only outlier in this group was John F. Kennedy, who happened to be a Democrat, who was shot by, you guessed it, Lee Harvey Oswald, communist. Your crush is safe with us, Mr. Matthews. We don't shoot people we disagree with unless they shoot first. We vote them out.
Which is the correct answer to the following question? Chris Matthews is about as useful as: A) Broken Condom B) Bag of Broken Hammers C) Aids D) All of the above...
He brought the fucking gun for protection, you fucking idiot. That's one of the reasons the 2nd amendment was created. We all have the right to protect ourselves. Holy shit. Not stop fucking yelling at the brilliant Ron Paul supporter. Ron Paul 2012.
Hey, here's a thought. Maybe he brought a gun because of all of these nice videos on the internet of Obama supporters attacking protesters for no reason. Maybe he brought a gun because he didn't wanna get hit with a nightstick or a fire hose from one of these new generation paramilitary babykilling cocksucker police. Just maybe.
Well Done! Mr. Kostric.. you seemed to have actually pulled Chris off of his pedestal, & towards you're stance on the 2nd Amend.,
If I put myself in your shoes, I don't think I'd have been as clear on the responses as you were.. he clearly tried to get your emotions going, & you didn't fall for it, AND! continued to state a clear & straight answer to his questions..
I don't think I could've done it.. my emotions would've gotten to me..
Glad people like this are around to shoot people who shoot people like female senators. Imagine if someone was open carrying at that event how many lives could have been saved if someone put that nutjob down instead of cowering in terror.
mathews says he believes in the 2nd amendment but is then trying to demonize those who would do as their rights allow. this just goes to show how mainstream media is constantly trying to subliminally imply that this or that is wrong thus creating the thought without saying "think this." that type of mind control/brainwashing is far more powerful than "people who carry guns are crazy." Vive' le Revolutio'n
At 3:40 when Matthews asked him to tell the history of guns at events, the guy should have said, "Well I know MSNBC's Contessa Brewer deliberately distorted a story about a man carrying an AR-15 rifle at an Obama AZ townhall last year. The video showed a white shirt and the rifle slung across the man's back, intentionally cropping out the man's head and hands. The video implied that a white man had the gun & Brewer said as much. It turned out to be a black man."
If everyone carries guns and are properly train to use them, it will ba a safer society. If I am in a restaurant and 75% or the customers are carrying a firearm for protection I would feel safer. Also, if the Army soldiers were carrying a firearm, that massacre would have never happened.
this guy held his own pretty well. matthews was probably disappointed when the guy answered his questions without claiming obama was the test tube baby of Mao, the Antichrist, and the tyrant king George. this guy diffused the trap like a champ
I wished Matthews would have allowed him to answer the questions before shouting incessantly. Matthews is a blowhard, a terribly misinformed blowhard at that. Kostric made Matthews look like a fool.
@alwaysright5 Yeah, as if Republicans don't get a thrill up their legs whenever Palin speaks. You can still buy a gun too you ignorant hick.
Let me ask you a question.... How is Glenn Beck or Sean Hannity fair and balanced? Don't try to claim that they are not a part of Faux Noise, they get some of the highest ratings there.
@newguyout Simple, Beck, Hannity, Rush and the rest of conservatives base their arguments on FACTS, unlike the liberal maggots like Mathews who base theirs on "shrills up their legs" when an ignorant arrogant communist kenyan reads a teleprompter.
I guess I am just supposed to believe you at face value when you say that. It is funny how all of those facts are biased towards Republicans. I guess if someone wants to protest Obama, all they have to do is shout: "Barack the magic negro." So tell me, how many Beck and Hannity caps and T-shirts have you collected in your small pathetic world.
@newguyout Facts are facts. If they like Palin at least they don't say stupid things like 'I get a shrill up my leg when she speaks" Now go back to your "project" apartment, smoke some crack, and wait for your welfare check. I got work to do to pay taxes to support parasites like you.
@alwaysright5 No, they just say she can take on a world war. As Bill O'Reilly said just days after the election.... she had better "study-up." So what? They still get googly-eyed at her.
@newguyout Palin can run circles around the arrogant ignorant kenyan communist that you seem to "love" so much, who purposedly is destroying this country. Liberal parasites should do this country a favor, and have protected sex and stop reproducing.
@alwaysright5 Being liberal is what pisses the terrorists off the most. Because then people can wear whatever they want, be with whomever they want, and say whatever they want. Liberals keep that conservative plague in the Middle East in check.
@alwaysright5 Palin is pathetic. I don't remember the great Ronald Reagan twittering or getting on the cover of gossip magazines, or haveing outbursts at cartoon characters on TV (family guy) before becoming a great leader. You know why? Because she isn't one.
Reagan finished his term as governor. Can't say the same about the moose.
Chris Matthews does come at people hard. But, I have to say I was a bit upset by the fact he felt the need to bring a gun to a presidential event. Did he feel threatened at the Health Care Town Hall? He said it was a defensive.
@newguyout More and more peaple are waking up on his aims, also that hes a ileagle alien that is in office under false pretences,, So every thing is going quite well.
@darrellmellissa He was born in America. What about McCain? He wasn't even born in a state. He was born in Panama, even though he was born on a military base which is considered American soil.
Liberals laugh at you, and I like that. I hope Obama continues to toy with you birthers like he has been doing over the past year. I hope he grabs you by the head and shoves your nose in your own shit.
@darrellmellissa McCain had nothing to do with this video. I was only doing what you scumbags do. PISS YOU OFF! That is what it feels like prick when you ignorant hay seeds try to claim Obama is not an American.
@newguyout Well this proves that being ignorant and a hay seed, That we can be right, With out 2 parents being American citizens, He is not a natrual born. calling names only proves how flimsy your argument is.
@darrellmellissa He was born in Hawaii. Tell me shit-kicker, was a local newspaper in on the whole "plot" to fake his birth when that paper in Hawaii posted his birth in the section where they do that there? What evidence do you have that he was born in Kenya? None!
@newguyout What evidence do you have that he was even born. I can phone a paper and post a birth, anytime,anyplace, I dont believe I ever said where he was born. Apparently you do.. How does one parent ,a citizen, make him a natrual born? please explain..
@darrellmellissa Hold on one second here. Are you saying that because his dad was from Kenya, that even if he was born in Hawaii, the fact that his dad was from Kenya makes him being an American citizen void? Are you saying that even if he was born in Hawaii, he is not an American citizen because his dad was from Kenya?
@newguyout You finaly got it, he is not a natrual born citizen. There are no records that even says that he was natrualized,nothing,nada,siltch, If he would produce documation then every one would know,But he is hiding his past, dont you wonder what he is hiding,? I do.
@darrellmellissa Shit-kicker, it doesn't matter where someone's parents were born. If someone was born in America, then they are Americans. Don't you think the secret service would put a stop to it if he was hiding something? Don't think for one second that I side with you on this.
@darrellmellissa Maybe you should ask your church buddies on the far right fringe since they yell the same thing at me all the time. Just as Jesus would do.
@newguyout Still calling names I see, Is that what they teach you in college?? Till he proves different, Yes I believe that Kenya is a real god bet that that is where he was born.,
@doncarlsanders I am glad you disgudting republicans aren't in power. I am not sure when you guys are more paranoid. When you are in power or out of power. It really is a delight to see you sad fucks squirm around like this.
Oh, and Texas will not cecede. It's ass will stay right where it is.
@doncarlsanders And you are an ignorant hick who needs to take some of the crap off your lawn, or at least more crap than you usually have on your lawn.
@darrellmellissa Oh, good comeback. Here's mine..... my guy won!
Second supreme court pick in the next few days, With a a very likely third one in the next year or two. And thats just if the conservative justices don't kick the bucket yet. SUCK ON THAT!
@newguyout Your guy won by lying and massive voter fraud,Apparently your proud of that fact.. Hopfuly when Obama is disbarred and prosicuted for fraud and treason, His appointments will be null and void.
@darrellmellissa LOL, oh really? And what voter fraud would that be? I can't wait to hear this bullshit. It pleases me so to hear dimwits (other than Palin for once) spew shit out their mouths.
@newguyout I also love reading the stupidedty that comes from you,, I amaginr that there are many who get there jollies from your comments., When is Obama going to prove that he is eligible? Answere never. because he cant.
@darrellmellissa He already has, but he is NOT going to play your game and hold it up at some rediculous press conference just to give you a hard-on. He will not let you people humiliate him just because you want to only see the visual of him having to satisfy idiots who think he wasn't born in America. So in the meantime, he will fuck around with you and PISS YOU OFF! And I like that he is doing that. FUCK YOU! LOLOLOL
@darrellmellissa Yes he has. But that is besides the point. I would say you were mentally retarded, but I have already called you a country hick, and there is no difference there.
Why don't you answer my question about why Fox News or the United States secret service hasn't done anything about this supposed scandal? If you are so sure Obama is lying, then you wouldn't have any problem explaining it to me.
@newguyout You want voter fraud? Not REGISTRATION fraud, voter fraud; 13 out of state students CAUGHT in Ohio voting illegally. The Demcrat Sec. of State gave them a smack on the wrist, made them apologize and sent them home...oh, and by no coincidence, they were brought here by ACORN. Those are the ones who were CAUGHT. Idiot.
@tyl4j That we are losing rights. DUDE! Obama is NOT taking away anyones guns. People dont have to worry about that. Obama is not going to just give handouts to black people. Obama is not a communist and is not going to take away anyones rights. The republicans are much more likely to take peoples rights away. (GAYS, BLACKS, NON-CHRISTIANS)
@George91280 Not yet, slowly, one thing at a time. With "Health Care" comes legislation that considers owning a gun "a health hazard". Get ready to pay penalties if you do not have the "right" health coverage, and if not 16,000 new IRS agents will make sure you do. Cap &Tax is next, besides paying $6 for gas and 2 or 3 times utility bills, the "green police" will make sure that your house complies with the "green" building and appliance code, if not well... we'll soon find out.
Mr Kostic handled himself very well and in doing so he helped bring Mr Matthews a little closer towards him or at least had Matthews toning down the hostility. Good job to Mr Kostic for keeping his composure. It really goes a long way for his stance and his messege where others less controlled might have alienated further their position from the mainstream.
@BludBaut Fuck Chris Mathews he is part of the Problem not the Solution. He is the most biased rude interviewer in the history of television. i hope he has a fucking stroke. How ya like that? it was proof read :)
Mr. Kostric, you sir, are truly impressive. To come off the street and into an interview like that and not only make valid arguments but to make Matthews look that indignated and wrong is just amazing. You deserve the applause of all fellow patriots who take the time to educate themselves on the history of our great nation and our constitution. Semper Fi
mr kostric is very knowledgeble about the constitution i suggest the president and congress should take a refresher course on it, because they are blatently ignoring it!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
white people and their "our fore fathers bullshit", half of them don't even who their ancestors are. And alot of them die their hair blonde so you can't see the negro in them.
Matthews has an intriguing interviewing style, ask a question, let the person get 3 words out, and then interrupt him. I think the guy held up pretty well under interrogation.
@wiz9496 I love how he rolls up in a T-shirt lookin chill... HAHA This guy rules, I love how he just doesn't back down no matter what is said by Matthews.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Matthews tore him up and as well he should. This guy brought a gun to an event where the President was. You don't think this guy wanted to shoot at Obama? It's very obvious he doesn't like our president.
Did you seriously mean what you just wrote? If so I feel very sorry for you; you seem to have difficulty understanding debate. Even Chris Matthews would probably disagree with your summation. Chris clearly tried to misrepresent him a neo-con extremist, but you can tell by Chris' own admission at the end of the interview that he was wrong, i.e. "you speak in a different way than most people." Enjoy your false and increasingly irrelevant left-right dichotomy.
Answer my question then: do YOU think this guy WANTED to kill the president since he HAD a gun and a chance to take out a president he clearly doesn't like? Yes OR No.
No, because I think this is entirely race and fear driven and I have never seen a gun toting idiot at a presidential town hall meeting unless the president was being shot at in an attempt for his life. He should have been removed and seen as a threat to the President.
"Blatent stupidity" lies in the fact that you so readily amalgamate an entire person's being from one opinion that you happen to disagree with. Let me dumb down what I just said for you so that your inbred self can understand: you're an asshat.
I think that thorough backgrounds should be conducted as well as psych profiles before anyone is allowed to own one. I believe that people should definitely be allowed to protect themselves without being an idiot-ergo, taking your dumbass to a townhall meeting where the President is speaking and ostensibly showing your gun. And yes, you are the man in the yellow shirt in the video...aren't you?
lol...i wish i had the chance to argue with that bobble head matthews....i agree, only law abiding citizens who have no history of psych problems should have no problems getting guns....would i bring a gun to a rally where the pres will be at? prob not...but i dont think citizens should be banned from doing so as long as they are cleared...in general, we should look at switzerland as a model in regards to gun control...
You never know what is on the mind of a person and as you know (or should) is that human beings are unpredictable creatures. Add the fact that we have had our Presidents shot at and shot before by regular "citizens" and you have to learn from the past. Therefore, the only people that should be allowed to have weapons near the President are those that are guarding and protecting him. That dude could have easily attempted to take Obama out.
@danbowski40 Ouch! Did you make this much ruckus when Bush was in his dictatorship for 8 years? You know, the period in which Bush said, "Fuck what's 'popular' and what America doesn't agree with...I am doing what is right".
Christopher Matthews put this faggot McBush voter in his place. I still want to know why this freak needed a gun at an event with the President. Could you imagine how bad the right-wing media would have cried foul if someone brought even as much as a squirt gun to an event with Bush? they would have been branded a "terrorist" and locked up in one of Bush's concentration camps. RIGHT-WING CONSERVADORK REPUBLITARDISM IS TRULY A MENTAL DISORDER!!
You really don't get it do you you? You might think you're being clever, but you're actually just having a debate with yourself. All the criticisms you leveled on Kostric only make you look foolish because they're factually wrong. He's probably more anti-Bush than you are; he's a Ron Paul supporter like myself. I guess you were more interested in bigotry than actually listening to what he had to say? The political landscape is changing and your ignorance will leave you behind.
Matthews is such an ass ! .. he objects to law-biding citizizens exercising their 2nd Amendment Rights but has no problem with the terrorist who murdered soldiers at Ft. Hood calling Al Qaeda operatives ... LIBERALISM IS TRULY A MENTAL DISORODER
William Kostric did a great job standing up against the loudmouth Chris Matthews. This man was no threat to Obama or anyone else present. He was simply exercising his CONSTITUTIONAL right to bear arms. Kudos to Alaska, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, South Dakota, Vermont, Kentucky, and Virginia for granting full 2nd amendment rights to your citizens. If you're a resident of any of these states, please exercise your rights.
Each and every comment was met with a quasi unfounded answer. They call it hardball for a reason. That's what William said in a follow up to this. The issue here is that our rights have been stepped on. You don't go to a public school, at a presidential rally, with a sign that implies government change via force, with loaded sidearm and expect not to get in trouble. William needs to get into Politics himself if he feels this isn't good enough. Til then call your senator and don't do dumb things.
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of *patriots* AND tyrants. I agree in a way with William. I also think he's a moron. I believe in the right to bear arms. I believe that our country needs to listen to the people more. Is this the way? No! We should be able to carry freely. All the time. ALL THE TIME. Crime rates would go down significantly.
Chris Matthews' ignorance is like a fine wine. Maybe we should be worried about people like Chris Matthews instead of we gun owners, because people being influenced by people like Matthews is how we get things like the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany. Mao Zedong said that power grows from the barrel of a gun, that's why government-owned Obama flunky mantra machine talking heads like Chris Matthews try to demonize guns and gun owners.
I support Obama with his call for Healthcare reform. But I must ask this question, does Chris believe that Thomas Jefferson was a radical for making that statement about the "tree of liberty has to be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots"
The reason why he brought a gun to a peaceful meeting is implied. He wants to hamper open inquiry into the real issues. people like this R cowards if they find people like me a threat. Guns R the weapons of cowardess, a means to kill at a safe pusillanimous distance.
"guns are the weapons of cowardice" I don't get that statement. Weapons have been brandished throughout history by every culture. By that logic spears or stones are weapons of ancient cowardice. It is strictly a modern equalizer, a tool.
Well I guess what u mean by Equalizer is that U can do whatever U want @ 20 paces. It boils down to hand to hand combat, U know the real thing not the thing cowards do. Better yet intellectual diplomacy certainly takes more guts than what the "pusillanimous long distance bombers" did to Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan etc. I value life, the though of shooting another is very disgusting and antiquated. This is the 21st century, try reasoning it will save lives.
Well of course. War is failed diplomacy. You have to understand that you can be as intellectually diplomatic as you want but if your adversary is not smart enough, or does not want a peaceful settlement then what do you do? Is everyone capable of compromise? How long would you have negotiated with Hitler? Would you have waited until Britain fell? I mean you could talk, talk, and talk some more to a megalomaniac and it is going to get you no where.
Well put! Agreed! But we attacked Iraq without provocation. So there are certain instances where war is necessary. Iraq has resources that the Oilygarchy wanted at the expense of millions of civilians and 5000 + of our soldiers so a few can get rich off of us tax payers. To top it off the W regime were incompetent @ managing war & destroyed our economy in the process.
Without provocation? You don't think a State sponsor attempt to assassinate one of our president is provocation? Where is all this oil money being generated? Bush 2 regime was incompetent and destroyed our economy? Do you understand how our U.S. Congress works? A sitting U.S. president can do nothing with out the Congress. Bad intelligence that both the Bush team and Congress saw lead to the attack on Iraq. Congress saw the very same threat assessment and voted to go to war. Both parties erred.
jgtemplars. W did more signing statements than all other presidents combined. He used his unitary executive power in an unprecedented manner. He was the dick in dictator, the con in conservative, the Mess in Messianic, and the dip in diplomacy--and the Pussy in pusillanimous!
Its all smoke and mirrors. "W" was at best a moderate Republican with the governing skill's of a Texas long horn. He could barely tie his own shoes. You give him to much credit and his flunkies. The real power is behind the curtain, and both have the stamp of Republican and Democrat on their sleeve. Don't lost on the self branded tag names (Neo-Cons)(The Progressives)(The right wing conservative)(The far left) Insert your own name. They are all but diversion from the truth.
The Corporatocracy and John Perkins points out and the Military Industrial Congressional Complex as Dwight D Eisenhower pointed out! They own the puppets! Perhaps we need to take over this status Quo monster of corruption!
I agree. But these guys are so layered from investigation that its almost impossible. They write their own laws and tell the media what to cover. An old time peasant revolution might be the answer?
jgtemplars. Iraq did not attack us, Saudi Arabians did! And that is questionable considering the long history of the US creating false flag operations to get us into wars. Bush knew what was going on as did his accomplices. The only bad intelligence was W's poorly functioning brain & the perverse Neo-con ideology backing i
Chris Matthews is not an American. He cares nothing about American freedoms.

Chris Matthews does come at people hard. But, I have to say I was a bit upset by the fact he felt the need to bring a gun to a presidential event. Did he feel threatened at the Health Care Town Hall? He said it was a defensive.

@darrellmellissa Hold on one second here.

You never know what is on the mind of a person and as you know (or should) is that human beings are unpredictable creatures. Add the fact that we have had our Presidents shot at and shot before by regular "citizens" and you have to learn from the past. Therefore, the only people that should be allowed to have weapons near the President are those that are guarding and protecting him. That dude could have easily attempted to take Obama out.
