Chris Matthews Decries Conservatives as "Terrorists" Who Would "Bring Down the American Government"

On MSNBC's Hardball on July 31, host Chris Matthews lashed out at a group of conservative senators for the offense of hoping to roll back the ObamaCare law: “They are political terrorists, and like all terrorists, including those who use bombs, their number one goal — their only goal — is to blow things up. [Senators Ted] Cruz, [Rand] Paul and Mike Lee are on a mission to destroy, shut down the American government, destroy ObamaCare, drive the country into default, destroy the U.S. credit rating. Terrorists with one purpose: To bring down, not just this administration but, let’s face it, the American government.”
