TYT: MSNBC's Chris Matthews Calls Netanyahu Speech A "Takeover Attempt"

[WhoIsNumberNone]

"Cenk Uygur (http://www.twitter.com/cenkuygur) host of The Young Turks discusses the reaction of MSNBC pundit Chris Matthews to the speech made by Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. To say Matthews is less than pleased would be an understatement.

'Quite cross' might be a very dry way to describe the reaction of MSNBC pundit Chris Matthews to the recent speech made by Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the United States Congress. He saw the speech as an attempt to sabotage and undermine the nuclear negotiations between the U.S. and it's allies and Iran. Matthews has been quoted as saying, "This man, from a foreign government, walked into the United States legislative chamber and tried to take over U.S. foreign policy." This comes at a time of already strained relations between the Israeli Prime Minister and President Obama as we approach the Israeli elections on March 17,2015."

Do you agree with Matthews' opinions? Let us know in the comments section below.

1. Nice to see Chris get one right. Fuck Bobo "the clown" Nutandyahoo! He's gonna get us all killed.

[Madmiddle]

2. This coup did not go unoticed.

This should not have happened. Move On .org has a petition to try Boehner for treason. Go over and sign it...

[maddiemom]

3. AGREE one hundred percent.

Boehner should have been hammered into the ground for for this outrageous ploy, but that train has left the station. Democrats let the right moment pass them by.

4. The vast majority of Democrats attended

Not only did the vast mahority of democrats attend, they gave numerous standing ovation to Bibi.

So what where they doing? Hoping to get future funding of the re-election campaigns.

5. BINGO, CHRIS!

And what do you call an invited takeover attempt such as this one? An act of treason or sedition on the part of the Republicans! President Obama, in collaboration with the State Department and the immigration authorities, probably could have exercised his constitutional right to refuse Netanyahu entry into the US. But then the Republican wingnuts would be calling him a tyrant and an enemy of free speech, a communist, a fascist, a dictator, or whatever other name they could pin on him. They might even call in the right wing militias or send commando squads of NRA gun nuts in to Washington! Heck, if Obama gets flack and condemnation from the Republicans even when he tries to be nice to them, he's intelligent enough to figure out what would be their probable reaction if he were to say, "Enough is enough!" and put his foot down.

And what do you call a situation in which a sitting US President finds himself threatened to the point of inaction and capitulation by the Republican right wing, who, by the way, are not the American majority who elected our president? I call it blackmail. But it will be widely perceived by world governments, and the world press, who are not as familiar with the American political situation as you and I are, as a simple case of spinelessness by President Obama not to assert his legal and rightful constitutional authority.

And as far as a takeover of the US government is concerned, if any country were in a position to stage one, it would probably be Israel. Those Republithug cretins only seem to respect ruthless authoritarian power, and have scant regard or respect for democracy - or the rule of law, or even the constitution itself, in spite of their pretentious and hypocritical claims to the contrary.

6. Kicked and recommended a whole bunch!

7. Three Cheers for Chris, the GOP let a foreign government attack OBama because he is black!!

Obama will be serious help to the democratic party, he
is very popular. the GOP seeks to make him look weak.

They failed: the prime minster was wrong about the war, lied according
to Massed.

8. I glad Matthews also made reference to Prime Minister Nutsack's

lack of interest when it come to negotiating with the Palestinians on a 2state solution. The US sends Israel $billions, in addition with our finest weaponry....How dare this asshole come to the US and disrespect our commander in chief

Middle East OILigarchs have wagged the American dog for a long time, and not the other way around... JHMO.
