23 here and my take is that guy is stubid and ull see why but your opien on the matter? and the info on the vid

Earlier this week, a man brought a gun to a presidential event and seemed pretty blasé about it. William Kostric of New Hampshire wore a loaded handgun and carried a sign that referenced a quote from Thomas Jefferson: "It is time to water the tree of liberty." The full quote is "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants."

Many didn't find the reference appropriate, especially given the gun. Kostric went on Hardball With Chris Matthews to defend his decision to a flabbergasted Mathews. Mr. Kostric maintained that he came to the event in a nonviolent capacity. Matthews was clearly unimpressed. Video of an excitable Matthews interviewing Kostric below...

  • Chris's point was that it reflects badly on anyone who feels it necessary to bring a loaded gun to a public protest. Generally when someone has had a gun around a president, they've used said gun to kill or attempt to kill the president. Intentional or not, the gun seemed to be a symbol of violence against the president.

    But thank you, 12-year-olds of youtube for informing us that Chris Matthews "is a turd." I'll alert Fox News of what a big meanie he is.

  • i aggre and LOL on the last part

  • This guy is a little too twitchy for me....shouldnt have a gun. 

  • The man most widely acknowledged to have killed JFK was Lee Harvey Oswald, an avowed communist, who attempted to emigrate to the Soviet Union.

    Sirhan Sirhan, the man who killed Robert Kennedy, was Palestinian born and apparently carried a grudge against Kennedy for his support of Israel during the six-day war.

    Ronald Reagan was shot by John Hinckley, Jr. over his obsession with Jodie Foster in an attempt to act out a movie.

    Two extremists and a nut; nobody that believes in our constitution.

  • The guy brought a gun to health care event and then pretends he did not have any particular goal.

  • Usually I like Chris Matthews, but this time it's much too obvious that he's attempting unsuccessfully to bait this guy -- and he lost the game. His guest bettered him.

    Is Matthews trying to mimic that obnoxious jerk Bill O?

    Don't do that, Mr. Matthews. Bill O is totally, completely off-the-wall far fringe nuts.

  • Just one gun? God it is our Second Amendment to bear arms so what is the big deal? And it would be stupid to bring an unloaded gun. and he brought the gun in case someone tried to kill the prez!

  • I love how one side's argument in youtube comment debates are usually "so and so is a jerk and stupid and they can get raped by terrorists" their opposition's arguments are relevant and contain factual information.

    Oh, the internet.

  • Chris Matthews is nothing but a JERK!!
