MSNBC's Spin Machine Spinning Out of Control

Chris Matthews reported today that Joe Miller’s campaign arrested a liberal blogger “because [he] dared to ask a question of a candidate in a democracy.” He called them thugs and said he expected to see Bounty Hunter Dog at Millers side.

Chris Matthews has never seen anything like this. Really?

Except in Martha Coakley’s case it was a reporter for the Weekly Standard.

If Matthews is against such thuggish behavior, one wonders where Matthews’s outrage was when the thugs with SEIU violently attacked Kenneth Gladney. Where was Matthew’s outrage of thuggery when Black Panthers intimidated voters at a polling station? Dylan Ratigan also chimed in on the story today when he had an analyst say unchallenged on his show that the guards were a “para-military force” by Miller’s side.

One big problem, the “journalist” admitted he pushed one of the security guards protecting Miller.

Matthews manages to leave out this minor detail during his segment today. It’s clear that when we’re within two weeks to an election, MSNBC can’t let pesky facts get in the way of smearing Tea Party-backed candidates.
