Chris Matthews on Boston Bombing: Domestic Terrorist Tend to be on the Right
Posted Tuesday, April 16th 2013 @ 9am
(MSNBC’s Chris Matthews wasted no timein questioning whether today’s horrific bombing of the Boston Marathon was a politically-motivated attack.
On
“Hardball” tonight, the host openly questioned whether at least a
portion of the horror was an intentional attack against the Democratic
Party. Matthews made his controversial comments when he assumed
that a purported explosion at the JFK Library was associated with the
bombings.
“I
was just thinking, again, it’s early; it’s an early situation, but
going after the Kennedy Library, not something at Bunker Hill, not
something from the freedom trail or anything that kind of historic, but a
modern political figure of the Democratic Party,” he said “Does that
tell you anything?”
These comments were
uttered during an exchange with Michael Leiter, former director of the
United States National Counterterrorism Center. Matthews preceded his questioning of whether the Democrats were under siege with the following statement:
“Let me ask you about domestic terrorism as a category. Normally, domestic terrorists, people tend to be on the far right, well that’s not a good category, just extremists, let’s call them that. Do they advertise after they do something like this? Do they try to get credit as a group or do they just hate America so much or its politics or its government that they just want to do the damage, they don’t care if they get public credit, if you will?”
