Watch Matthews on Beck: 'Looney Tunes'

Written by FrumForum News on Thursday February 3, 2011

Huffington Post reports:

Chris Matthews struck back at Glenn Beck on his Wednesday show, deriding his Fox News rival in two different segments and calling him "looney tunes" and the "#1 exploiter of fear."

Last week, Beck exploded at Matthews on his radio show, yelling for minutes about Matthews' denigration of Michele Bachmann.

In his first segment, Matthews brought on Salon's Joan Walsh and Mother Jones' David Corn to talk about Beck's latest theory: that the Egyptian uprising is a terrible thing and could lead to an Islamic caliphate across the Middle East and even into Europe.

Matthews said that the theory was meant to "distract us from any kind of serious conversation that might involve thought." He continued, "this is, I do not use the term lightly, looney tunes."
