On Thursday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Hardball,” host Chris Matthews commented on Senator Al Franken’s (D-MN) resignation by stating that the worst anyone can say about Democrats is that “they’re too pure.”

Matthews said, “I don’t know how you can avoid the education in this. The worst you can say about Democrats is they’re too pure. And that’s a stupid thing to say. But that’s the worst thing you can say about them. These guys set too high a standard for public office. How’s that for an argument? My opponents, the party of my opposition, they set too high a standard.

Yes that IS a stupid thing to say.

I love this useful idiot.
 
So let's see - Conyers resigned, Franken resigned yet Moore is supported/endorsed as GOP candidate and the man who admitted on tape crimes against women corroborated by 12 victims is still POTUS and this your take?

Damn son, that is some amazing gymnastic moves you got....

Good Lord. Whoever said you can't fix stupid was 100% correct. DC politics and the liberal media is more of a dramatic shitshow than the WWE and any other reality tv trash.

Democrats are "too pure". You're smarter than this.

Predicable tribesmen will like this pretentious, myopic dogshit.

Franken shouldn’t have resigned over grabbing a few asses, and is a giant pussy to have caved to the pressure to do so.

This entire topic is far past ridiculous.

You support Moore then?
 
The Democrats are so pure they are destroying due process rights over alleged sexual harassment that has not been proven in hopes of scoring political points. I guess they want to become the party that is known for destroying men’s lives over allegations years and sometimes decades old.

Go prove allegations against Trump, Moore, Franken, Conyers, etc....by the same legal standard it will take for a legal conviction.

It is so obvious what Dems are trying to do here, they are so desperate to have leverage on ONE political issue that they totally ignore rights everyone should have in a Democracy.

Hope no one on this board is fired due to false allegations, and at least you get to face an accuser and defend yourself and not fired over anonymous sources.

If Franken stepped down IMO he is guilty, that is not pure. He did not apologize to those women in his resignation speech, but he did deflect and try to score political points against Trump and Moore.

This is perhaps the most desperate attempts I have seen from the Dems to remove Trump, instead of concentrating on winning the next election and becoming more centrist, they are still trying to win the last election, and they are destroying due process rights and creating a Lynch mob. Very similar to what happened to Greg Schiano with UT. People are not being pure, they are destroying lives for their own selfish gain.

Matthews must have been having another "tingle up his leg" moment.

Chris Mathews is a moron. He was screaming for war before Iraq, too.

He's right in that the dems need to toughen up. They don't even attack well without coming across as sanctimonious.

This latest push of BS on the public is going to create a backlash on the Dems just like the election of Trump. If Moore maintains his innocence then I hope he gives the finger to the Dems to let them know they are not going to destroy due process rights and somehow enforce "laws" upon this country that is based on accusations. Seems like another way to overturn elections.

They cite some ridiculous percentage in which these allegations are true. I believe that when 2 things exist:

1. The victim reports the abuse or harassment in a somewhat timely manner.
2. The victim has no other motive to report other then justice.

We do not know how accurate these accusations are in the environment we are in now, we have never seen anything like this in our history, especially when it comes to politicians and how political times are today.

For all we know, Reps and Dems could be paying off women to come forward against each party. Far fetched? I think it is entirely possible, they are all scum.

When allegations come forward that are decades old, who is to say these allegations are not politically motivated? Or based on a vendetta? I have probably fired over 35 people in my career, half women. What if one of them makes an allegation from over 20 years ago and the real issue is that she feels she was terminated improperly? If I was fired from an anonymous source and I was innocent I would be suing the hell out of someone.

I personally could careless about what adults do in private, I could have cared less what BC did with ML. My problem was him looking me in the eye on TV and lying about it. I voted for BC first go round. All he had to say was his personal life was not up for public consumption and he was not going to discuss it, end of story. Him getting BJ's had nothing to do with his ability to govern IMO. Him lying to the entire country over something that he need not lie about was a huge problem for me.

They can all do the nasty with whoever they want as far as I am concerned as long as it is consensual.

This country is going to be in a bad place if it becomes conviction by twitter, facebook, and anonymous letters.

The people stepping down in the Media and Entertainment industry are stepping down because they know they are guilty. They do not want to face anymore scrutiny. If you are innocent, you want all the scrutiny you can get.

Are you? A bit concerned about some of you.
I would have said the same thing if someone had said the Republicans are “too pure”. But, by looking at the overall Sexual Harrasment Scoreboard, the Democrats are clearly out in front.

"He tried to get into my pants in the 70's."

This literally disqualifies every heterosexual male over the age of 55.

“He was thirty and tried to get in my pants when I was 17.”

Leaves plenty of heterosexual males still qualified by not being “that guy”.
