Matthews: Chilean Miners would be dead if they followed Tea Party's 'every man for himself' philosophy

Well, it did not take long after Chris Matthews had a rare moment of clarity to go back to drinking the coolaide. He talked about the government taking our money away from us through taxes. I'm paraphrasing of course, he said that the money we get back from the IRS is "our money" to begin with! WOW, I almost fell over. But, of course that didn't last, read on MacBeth:

Leave it to Chris Matthews to shoe-horn in a crass political point against the Tea Party, even in the midst of a heartwarming story like the rescue of the Chilean miners. On Wednesday's Hardball, the MSNBC host, along with his guest Richard Trumka, president of the AFL/CIO, claimed those miners would never have survived if they had followed the "every man for himself" philosophy of the Tea Party crowd.

After Trumka initially recounted his joy at watching the miners being rescued, he quickly veered into his standard rhetoric of the need for more regulation. Matthews then picked up on Trumka's cue to launch into an attack on the Tea Party, as he distorted their limited government view as one of total anarchy that would mean "no more government, no more everything," as seen in the following exchange:

CHRIS MATTHEWS: Okay let's talk about what the...message to a lot of the people was. The message coming out of the Tea Party people, and lot of them are good people, is every man for himself, basically. "No more taxes, no more government, no more everything. No more safety net. No more health care for everybody. Everybody just get out there, make your buck, save it, screw the government, move on." Right?

RICHARD TRUMKA: Yeah.

MATTHEWS: You know these people, if they were every man for himself down in that mine they wouldn't have gotten out.

Hey crazy lib one world commie dude, first, the Tea Party believes in smmmmall government, not nnnooooo government. They believe we should help eachother not the government, just as everyone involved in helping the miners did, Duh.
