Matthews: Anything That's Nasty About Obama Becomes Amen Chorus of the GOP

Recently a participant at a Republican town hall floated the idea of executing President Obama, and on Wednesday night Chris Matthews used that as a jumping point to go after the universally “nasty” treatment the right wing gives Obama. He argued, “The continual statement that gets you where you want to go in right-wing Republican politics… is simply being against the president.”
He brought up the execution line to say the GOP just loves piling on however they can, because “anything that’s nasty about this guy has become the amen chorus of the Republican party!”
Matthews ended up being wistful for the days when John McCain was scolding supporters for going after the president; an example, he said, of Republican fair mindedness.

Matthews Uses O'Reilly Interview to Go After Obama Derangement Syndrome on Benghazi

During his Super Bowl interview with Bill O’Reilly, President Obama continued to downplay the idea there was any “scandal” surrounding the Benghazi attacks. Republicans, of course, reacted very negatively, even going so far as to, in some cases, calling Obama a liar. Chris Matthews took on the GOP responses on Tuesday and used them to go after the conservative “Obama Derangement Syndrome.”
Matthews said that Benghazi has “become a code for something,” and while he didn’t get more specific about what that is, Eugene Robinson noted it’s simply code for how much people hate Obama.
Dana Milbank claimed that the crux of the Benghazi argument is about what Obama called it, mockingly saying “it doesn’t matter if he called it a ham sandwich!” He added, “To have a cover-up there has to be something you’re covering up.”
Matthews brought up his past clashes with Republicans and said Obama Derangement Syndrome has just gone off the rails; so much, so, Robinson said, it’s morphed into this weird “denial of the fact that the American people voted for him twice.”
