Liberal Stupid-Ass Comment: Chris Matthews Has a Question

How do we know when someone like [Ft. Hood shooter] Hasan is going to make his move and do we know he’s an Islamist until he’s made his move? ... Apparently he tried to contact al Qaeda. Is that the point at which you say, ‘This guy is dangerous?’ That’s not a crime to call up al Qaeda, is it? Is it? I mean, where do you stop the guy?”

Huh?

Actually, Matthews’s question is legitimate if you interpret it like this: It’s not a crime now, under the Obama administration to call up al Qaeda. We know it was under the Bush administration, with the enactment of the Patriot Act.

Is the Patriot Act still in effect? Or did that go by the wayside like so many other terrorism-thwarting tactics the Obama got rid of?

Yet, I have a feeling this was not Matthews interpretation …

“The Great One” Mark Levin jokingly calls MSNBC “MSLSD.” In light of Chris Matthews’ latest stupid-ass comment, here’s a better one:

The Patriot Act is still in effect, although some of it's policies have been removed from the current version.

I guess in Chris Matthews' case, love is blind. Tingly, too.
