The 'New Civility' (Cont'd): Chris Mathews Calls GOP Effort to Lower Spending and Keep Debt Ceiling in Place ‘TERRORISM’

To normal people, terrorism is flying planes into buildings and killing innocent people. It is strapping a bomb to your chest and running into a crowd of women and children and detonating yourself. To the liberal, it is not being able to spend money you don't have. No, really!

Calling Republicans the "Wahhabis of the American government" wasn't enough for MSNBC's Chris Matthews today. In case his audience didn't fully appreciate the subtle nuance of his message, he reiterated by calling efforts to cut spending, retain the debt ceiling and to not increase taxes "terrorism". Also note the on-screen graphic titled "Tax Cut Cult". Matthews' comparisons of Republicans to violent religious extremists just keep on coming.
