CHRIS MATTHEWS COMPARES TEA PARTY TO MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD

By Brian Fitzpatrick, The Cypress Times

Was he just kidding? Or does MSNBC host Chris Matthews really believe the tea-party movement is the American equivalent to the Muslim Brotherhood, the terrorist organization currently vying for power in Egypt, Tunisia and Arabic countries throughout the Middle East?

On Tuesday’s Hardball, Matthews, a former speechwriter for Democratic President Jimmy Carter and aide to Democratic House Speaker Tip O’Neill, devoted a segment to tea-party plans to mount primary challenges to Orrin Hatch of Utah and other Republican senators.

After Republican consultant John Feehery said incumbent senators need to “get home and listen to their constituents,” Matthews asked Feehery, “Why are you treating Orrin Hatch like Mubarak?”

Hosni Mubarak is the Egyptian strongman currently facing a revolt at home and pressure from abroad to relinquish power.

Matthews went on to compare the tea party with the Muslim Brotherhood, the Islamic extremist organization attempting to depose Mubarak through mass protests and violent clashes in the streets of Cairo. The Muslim Brotherhood, which has spawned terrorist groups such as al-Qaida and Hamas, has declared its intent make Islamic law supreme over the world.
