MSNBC’s Chris Matthews said that dealing with angry rural Americans is similar to combating terrorism on “Morning Joe” Tuesday.
Matthews highlighted the importance of anger in mobilizing voters during elections as he drew the analogy. He said rural Americans harbor a deep-seated anger toward liberal elites and then seemed to liken it to the sentiments of terrorists in Afghanistan and Iraq following the U.S. military presence there.
“This is rural rage. They are so angry at the liberal establishment, the coastal elite, they look at people on television … ‘They don’t have to worry about us,’” Matthews stated.

The left throws around terms like terrorism and fascism until they are meaningless. Now good hard working American that disagree with the little poop AKA Chris Matthews, are terrorists.
If he was any more stupid, he'd be in a home for morons.

If you lying, communist-colluding media hacks would STOP LYING TO US AND STOP SHOVING YOUR DEMOCRAT-MARXIST GARBAGE DOWN OUR THROATS, then maybe we wouldn't hate you so much for being the traitors you are.

Chris Matthews head is stuck so far up his butt that he is mistaking his own BS for the smell of manure from us country folks. It is self appointed liberal elites like Matthews that despise "the little people" and live in a kind of Hunger Games world. Matthews is Caesar Flickerman, Host of the Hunger Games; phony, in love with himself, and oblivious to what is really going on in the world.

What does rural/small-town America see in the elites of non-rural America? Rampant crime that goes unpunished. Policymakers who caused a border crisis of unprecedented proportions in this country. Tax-and-spend-and-spend-again politicians. Anti-law and order administrations. Antisemitism. Violence. Poor schools.
The list goes on. But somehow rural/small-town America is full of terrorists. What a load of old horse manure!

I had no idea that liberals were as stupid and spiteful as this. There could be a government study on the lack of self-awareness.
You don't agree with them so YOU'RE as dangerous as terrorists.

He's right I do hate him and the costal elites. But I am not a terrorist and I do not think sending the army into every conflict is the answer to what ails us. But Israel is right to kick butt. I assume you are a multimillionaire so there aren't too many problems you can't handle. Most of us might not be as rich as you but believe me when I say most of us are not as dumb as you think we are. I'd like to see you live on $60,000 a year with FJB telling you that you are an idiot because you cannot realize how wonderful things are and while we are at it why don't we show him any love? Morning Joe is a nut job with a major screw lose. All these lefty elites/Hollywood types don't think there is a problem. A lot of money can stop a lot of problems in their tracks.

What I'd like to know is when Chrissie Matthews ever actually dealt with a 'Rural American'. I dunno, maybe he encountered a few when his wife (or his boyfriend) drug him out of the city to go 'antiquing' in some small town.

Rural Americans are over-represented in our national cemeteries, and those over seas that are the final resting places for our American war dead. We fight for our country and don't join the military to wag our fannies in the faces of little children.

The putrid propagandist represents everything the commonsense rural American despises in the globalist government of the arrogant liberal elites. He actually pressed to learn why, and he's too stupid and self-unaware to understand. If Matthews was ever confronted by an actual terrorist, or even a thug from Antifa or BLM, he'd probably crap his panties.

I do feel like the country is occupied by evil leftists but I live in a large coastal city, not rural. Every problem we now have has been caused by the same occupying force and they continue to make it worse everyday.

Um, Chrissy, us “rural” Americans are not the ones out rioting in the streets, looting businesses, burning down buildings and killing other people. Those folks are ALL on YOUR side.

From my end, the feeling is mutual. The problem Mr Matthews doesn’t see is his type needs us, but we don’t need his kind. Without us, he and his fellow reds will wither and die on the vine.

I would like to see Chris Matthews try and live on my salary, and pay my bills in the mess that Biden's policies have made. He's insulated by his status and money and has no idea how much people are suffering.

Chris, go check out the vandalized national monuments. Then the destruction caused by BLM and Antifa. Then the problems being created by the pro-Hamas crowd. Compare urban rage vs rural rage. Liberal fool.

Another limo liberal, who lives in a bubble where he, and other liberal dips#$ts, blow smoke up each other's backsides and tell themselves how great they are. Detached from reality doesn't begin to describe them.

Whatta surprise. The Left has already divided us by race, gender, religion, age, creed, privilege, disabilities, access to food, education, skin color, climate theory, sexual preference, and politics. Chrissie surfaces right on time to play the new rural/urban card, claiming those of us who live in wide open spaces can't possibly grasp the intellectual depth and sophistication of their smart city- dweller counterparts. Expect Hillary to show up adding there's an unfair pantsuit desert in Green Bay, WI.
Yup. Divide and conquer. Nothing new.

Let's see from the time I was in elementary school I've been called a:
Fake Black boy
Want to be White boy
Hater
Oreo
Biscuit-Brown on the outside White on the inside
Uncle Tom
Step N Fetch
Boot licker
Sambo
Magilla Gorilla
Grape Ape
Monkey Boy
Big Lip Boy
Tea Bagger-TEA Party derivative.
Astro Turf
Deplorable
Listless Vessel
Trumptard
Race traitor
Ultra, Extreme, Super Duper MAGA supporter
White Nationalist in Blackface
Threat to the Homeland
Now I'm a terrorist. As a child a few of those names hurt me but as an adult I know that I'm a good son, husband and father. I treat those like I want to be treated: Always with kindness and respect. Therefore, I can say this to Chris Matthews and anyone else who feels the way he does. Go pound sand you arrogant putz.

He feels safe spewing his contempt from the comfort and security of those East Coast studios.
Would he have the cojones to say all that anywhere in Flyover Country?
