Crazy even by Tingles’ nutty standards.

CHRIS MATTHEWS: Howard Fineman, what I’m hearing now in the aftermath of the debt fight is that President Obama is somehow engaging in class warfare, divisive politics when from day one, from second one, the goal of the Republican Party of the right, of corporate America, of the Tea Party, the whole shebang has been eliminate this guy’s presidency. It’s been personal, it’s been about him, and it’s about hatred.

HOWARD FINEMAN: Well, I think that in a situation like that, people often think that. Your political foes think that, but they didn’t used to say it out loud.

MATTHEWS: What? We hate you, want to kill you — politically.

FINEMAN: Politically. Quite the way they did so brazenly at the beginning. I think- was out there on the mall when Obama- when the President was inaugurated. You thought that perhaps all of America was out there. There were a million and a half people there, but it wasn’t all of America. It was Barack Obama’s America, and the people on the right, the conservatives, the corporate leaders, for the most, part decided from day one that that crowd that they saw in the mall and that President that hey saw taking the oath was not their president.

MATTHEWS: It was like the secessionists. You know, the way you said that, the way you phrased because of your history sense, was almost, like, even as he was being inaugurated, the voices of secession were uniting in the south and planning to bring this guy down, right? And divide.
