"I don't care what that woman up there, the mother has felt," Matthews said. "Her emotions are her own but for the country in choosing a leader, it's wrong to have someone get up there and tell a lie about Hillary Clinton. It's not true."-Chris Matthews

Chrissy must have meant that Hilary Clinton lying about the You Tube video was not a lie. I guess progressives think lies are only what non-progressives say.
The thrill up his leg must be distracting to him.

I do think it was bad taste using a mothers grief like that... that poor woman was still in stage 2 or pulled back into stage 2

I see.
The fact that she stated FACTS as opposed to progressive talking points had nothing what-so-ever to do with Chrissy Mathews objections thought, I'm sure....

I must say I really disagree with weaponizing grief. To me, the grief of a mother over her deceased son belongs in private, a thing to be shared intimately with family, and not smeared all over a political convention. it becomes cheap and demeaning, as all politics truly becomes.
I can see the attraction for politicians, being the creatures they are. Anyone who says anything against a grieving mother is automatically a villain.

Then you are also appalled by the politicians that trot out the victims of violent crimes when they want to ride the emotional wave...

Depends. What I've seen are politicians pointing to members of the audience who's situations might have been changed with desired legislation. Just like pointing out constituents who's lives have been beneficially impacted by legislation.
I cannot recall someone using their grief to impugn a political candidate. Not saying it hasn't happened, just can't recall seeing it.

How sympathetic of you. But perhaps, just perhaps, she wants people to know what an evil and vile liar Hillary is, and and how she doesn't deserve the highest seat in government. She has been on other shows, beating that drum. Of course, most media just ignore her, so here she had a captive audience.

Mary Jo Kopechne was unavailable for comment at the 1980 Democratic National Convention.

The problem is she is utterly unassailable whether or not she speaks the truth. She could lie her head off and no one can say a damn thing without appearing vile (how dare you attack the grieving mother!). I'm not saying she did, just that she could. I just think it a fairly vulgar thing to do.

No, the real vulgarity was a Secretary of State refusing to assist Americans fighting for their lives and then lying to the American public about it for political expediency.

It's amazing that we aren't talking about Hillary's failure to answer that 3:00 AM phone, but instead are talking about about the mom.
Pathetic, really.

Then again, if a grieving mother wishes to enter the political realm perhaps she should be treated as people are treated in the political realm. If she doesn't want to be treated that way perhaps she should stay home.

yeah, anyone entering the political realm is fair game for, well, unfair tactics!
Let's move this to the gutter!!!

She was up there speaking about what happened and how her government failed her son (and her and everyone) on that night. Her emotion speaks to that anger, hurt and feeling of betrayal. It's compounded by the fact that Hillary immediately said it was a video that caused the incident when we now know that not to be true. Yes, they are using a grieving mother to make a political point. She wouldn't be up there if those on the ground had received the support they needed.
Trump really needs to re-make that 3AM phone call ad using Benghazi as the background.

Michael Brown's mother is supposed to speak next week. Wonder if she'll bring up "hands up, don't shoot"

She did such a good job of raising a ghetto thug, I'm sure she will.

Black lives matter is based on lies. The corrupt doormat is bringing black lives matters to her coronation convention to further the lies of the black racist lunatics in an attempt to shore up votes from a demographic that would vote for Adolph Hitler as long as he was a liberal and pro abortion.
Nation of Islam is a pack of lies surrounding a cult of personality that happens to be a psychotic asshole. Look for the corrupt doormat to try and adopt them too.
I wouldn't complain if the entire city of Philadelphia Police Department refused to lift a finger to protect the corrupt doormat and her freak show of liars. Inviting those violent, terrorist fermenting, scumbags to her convention is a sickness not a statement.

My uncle went to high school with Chris Mathews. Mathews is from an old line, dyed in the wool DEMOCRAT, CORRUPT, Philly family. He is also as crazy as a LOON.
