Chris Matthews Unloads On Protester Who Carried Gun To Obama Event

"You're carrying a god damned gun at a Presidential event," Matthews says to protester William Kostric, appearing on "Hardball" to explain why he carried a gun to a health care town hall in Portsmouth, New Hampshire hosted by President Obama. He said he wanted "to be heard" and wanted everyone to be aware of the rights we are losing.

Matthews chides Kostric for bringing a loaded gun to an event where the President would be. "A firearm is a defensive tool," Kostric says. "Who would be silly enough to carry an unarmed firearm?" It is legal to carry guns in New Hampshire.

He concludes that it would have been a safer crowd if everyone at the town hall carried guns.

Also, he said Obama is "a great speaker" and that he voted for Ron Paul.

You could just see the frustration on fat-boy Chris Matthews' face. He kept trying and trying in vain to score a point against a clearly superior opponent. Wonderful.

If Obama is re-elected and gets to appoint more SCOTUS's, kiss the 2nd Amendment goodbye.

Why is Eric Holder still in office? He is a corrupt racist.

QUESTION: Why did you come to a Presidential Event with a gun?

BEST ANSWER SHOULD HAVE BEEN: Because it is my Constitutional Right, why am I being called to the carpet to defend my constitutional Rights?

Chris Matthews: What is the rest of that saying on your sign?

Hi Chris:

That's Thomas Jefferson, one of the Founding Fathers and Framers of the Constitution. Are you suggesting that he is a subversive influence?

Unbelievable.

[BigScooterHiney]

Holy fuck, Chris Matthews on gun control, what a laugh.

[BigScooterHiney]

Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann really make me want to shoot myself when I listen to their generic horse shit liberal ideology.

This NUT said he's, "...advocated a POLITE, ARMED SOCIETY."

Think about that. Everyone is armed. Everyone has an assault weapon slung over their shoulder. Everyone has a automatic weapon. Everyone. Everyone. TALK ABOUT THE SUPER-PSYCHO REPUBLICAN PARTY. Then look at this guys GOOFY face and goofy expression. HIS EYES tell you everything you need to know about a TEAHEAD. Totally PSYCHOTIC.
