MSNBC’s Chris Matthews stepped too far outside the liberal box in a rant on socialism that ignited social media’s cancel culture.Matthews unloaded on the word “socialism,” saying he has an “attitude” about the term and proceeded to stun the MSNBC panel and viewers with his passionate warning to Democrats about supporting 2020 candidates who promote the ideology. (Video) “I think that the Democratic Party has to figure out its ideology,” the MSNBC host said Friday in a panel discussion following the Democratic presidential debate.“You know, I have my own views of the word ‘socialist,'” Matthews said.

Is Mathews really concerned about socialism or is it an attempt to scuttle the candidacy of an overt socialist, Bernie Sanders. Also his assessment of Denmark and Sweden as "harmless" socialism ignores their higher marginal tax rates, 25%, and higher, value added tax and their paultry military. OK, he indicts Cuba and Soviet Union, but why the criticism now from one who has, as far as I know, been silent on this subject. I Don't trust him.

Socialism by any other name is still socialism.

"Socialists" murdered over 120 million people during the 20th Century. Be it Hitler the National Socialist, or Stalin the Marxist Bolshevik socialist, Mao ZeDong the Marxist Leninist socialist, Fidel Castro another Marxist-Leninst or Pol Pot a Maoist Marxist-Leninist or the NorKor Kim klan, they all had one thing in common: if you didn't fit in the system-you died. When you hear these latter day democrats using the rhetoric of the revolution, that's what they are promising you. You're either part of the collective or you're eliminated. Chris Matthews has it exactly right. Socialists only have to win one election, because that one election will be the last election.

I'm now waiting for him to admit that sucking the brains out of a child while inutero is
murder.

Chris comes from Republican parents, Montgomery County, west and NW Philly metro. His brother was a Republican county commissioner and Republican candidate for Lt Gov in 2006. He's a Tip O'Neil type old school Dem, not a crazy, bat shiite Dem. Well, maybe a little crazy.

American 'socialists' are the world's laziest. They don't work, they don't even go hungry. They just whine and break other people's stuff. What spoiled brats. Their parents failed big time.

I don't have anything good to say about Chris Mathews, even though he pulls this Mitt Romney type backstabbing on the Democrats.

This is the most publicity Chrissie has got since Zell Miller challenged him to a duel. Boycott MSDNC? How do you boycott something that has no viewers? Crazy Bernie admits he's a socialist. At least he is honest. If any of the dims win we will be eating the bark off trees.

The source must be CNN. Anything, anything to improve their ratings.

Hmmmm...another future member of the Mitt for President Club? Could someone have an idea that by threading the "moderate" needle a third-party Mitt run has a chance to actually win? Let's see how many other "moderates" start testing balloons like this.

Chrissy is just doing the party's bidding. Biden is done and won't come back due to the corruption charges. Mayor Pete, knowingly or unknowingly is a temporary place holder. Now we make socialism a bad word clearing the way for the Hildabeast to save the party. Bloomberg runs as VP allowing him to spend unlimited amounts of money. The Dems don't think voters should decide the general election, why would the primaries be any different?

Apparently Socialism does not provide the same quality of leg tingle that worship of Barack Obama did. Once crazy always crazy.

If Chris Matthews thinks Scandinavia's socialist tax system is benevolent, he should be taxed at their rates. See how long he continues to think it is harmless.
Same goes for all the other socialist dingbats, you first.

Chris is finding out the hard way what telling the truth is to Democrats. He has been trashing Pres. Trump for almost four years and supporting the Progressive/Socialist Democrat Party. What can he expect will happen. He is part of the problem.

The best comment is from TwitBear50: "...You among everyone should know that Bernie was not talking about the Socialism that you were talking about."
This idiot thinks there are different types of Socialism! I really wish we could buy these people one way tickets to the Socialist/communist country of their choice, requiring them to surrender their passports when they get there and see how long it takes for them to illegally cross the border to come back to sanity.

Actually, NBC & messnbc & cbs aren't the only alphabets who still don't want to acknowledge what, ''Drain the swamp,'' means! None of the dems' Sunday morning shows seem not able to understand why the President continues that noble policy instead of just moving on now. Yet we want him to continue draining the swamp of all the entrenched corruption in Government which we see being revealed before our very eyes! Preston Trump has proved to be an excellent multi-tasking President. He can handle it all!

Like the term Abortion has morphed into Women's Health, Chris is sounding the alarm that the DNC and Democrat Candidates need to find a more touchy-feely word than Socialism if they intend to sell it to voters.
