MSNBC’s Chris Matthews Slams ‘Likud-Republican Party’

MSNBC’s Chris Matthews Slams ‘Likud-Republican Party’ (NewsBusters)

For a guy who is forever hearing "dog whistles" and racially-tinged "code words" in conservative political rhetoric, Hardball host Chris Matthews seems blissfully unaware of the arguably anti-Semitic prattle he spewed tonight in his criticism of Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) inviting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address the U.S. Congress on March 3.

"I just wonder whether there's a new party being formed here: the Likud-Republican Party," Matthews lamented to his panel in a segment tagged "Invitation to Trouble."
