Mike Huckabee: Chris Matthews Becoming Charlie Sheen

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee continued his war of words against MSNBC anchor Chris Matthews Tuesday, comparing him to actor Charlie Sheen, who has recently taken the nation by storm with a serious of unhinged, outlandish interviews.

"I really do worry about Chris," Huckabee said during an appearance on the The Dennis Prager Show, according to Politico. "I think he's not quite Charlie Sheen, but he's getting close."

While Sheen has raised eyebrows with comments about "Adonis DNA," foot-licking and general self-assurance, the source of Huckabee's ire towards Matthews appears to be comments the host made referring to the potential 2012 hopeful's stance toward Israel as one that promoted "ethnic cleansing."

Last week, Huckabee unleashed another tirade on Matthews during an appearance on the Laura Ingraham show that seemed to call the TV personality's mental health into question.

"Chris, see a doctor. Do it quickly. You're out of control. You're off your meds. You absolutely must get help, and do it today," Huckabee said. "Fewer people watch Chris Matthews than are standing in line at the hot dog stand on Sixth Avenue in New York on any given day."

tonight CM had a right wing nut from Texas on,
I think their tea party, and about how
he wanted to take an ax to spending...

But this guy, as so popular on the right,
got away with saying " the Democrat party"
instead of Democratic, which CM is often
ticked about ......Dem's do not typically
sink to such a low manner in referring
to the GOP, why does the right think
this is cute, like from a dingy high school kid ?

Does anyone think Chris Mathews looks like Ralph Wiggum?

It seems that Miki once again is trying to justify his first string of lies. His page reference that he used to justify his first lie does not have the information he claimed was there. So now, Mike continues to lie about his lies. How sad for the Southern Baptist reputation but it mostly reflects the lack of truthfulness of Mike. Since he insisted on piling on the lies instead of owning up to his mistake, It has cost him my vote. He just sounds like a serial liar now and justifying disgusting behavior seems to have become the pass time of not only Mike but now, Newt also. How sad for our party.

Did Mike Huckabee really read the D'Sousza book with his unfounded theories or did he just read a review or may be caught him on the book tour rounds. He's caught in the Fox propaganda machine and can't figure out that they can get so far out with their distortions that Huck is repeating them in a confused mish mash making him looking particular lacking in education or judgement. When back pedaling, he made him self look even more foolish. Are any of his supporters going to know that the British were not the colonial masters in Indonesia where he now says Obama grew up. Also, he should be told that in Indonesia and many other places, madrassa is the generic word for a school or any kind ....even a Catholic school like Obama went to for a while. Again it shows his being trapped in the propaganda machine from which he is unlikely to escape.

This is rich.  Huckaberry has already gone around the bend of credibility and he's looking for company?  Try Wasilla, AK, or Winnemucca, NV, governor.  Lots of opportunities to strip off your clothes and run around at night howling at the moon.

When wingnuts like the Huckster pull out the "he's not really one of us" card, I say they are abolutely right and I thank God for it. He's not like them, he's a far better person period.

Also, their tactics are stupid lol. All they are doing is making people defend Obama lol. They are suppose to be focusing on his policies. The sad truth is they go to these tactics, because they themselves have no good ideas.

I guess if Chris is becoming Charlie that means the Huckster is becoming Oily Taitz. Mathews made a great point last night. Why is is you never hear any of the right wingnuts bring up the influence of Obama's maternal grandparents on his outlook. He spent much more time with his WWII veteran grandfather and bank executive grandmother than his did his his father.

Huckleberry just blew his chance in 2012. He just flat out lied about Obama. And chris is holding his feet to the fire.

Ummm...picking a fight with Chris just highlights the news of you mis-speaking even more.

Mike needs to send his wife to take care of Chris...just like she did the State Trooper who gave her a ticket...Heaven help us, Huckabee, Palin, Gingrich, Santorum, Romney in the news every day. The Misspoke gang. The new Republican catch phrase will be: "That may be what I said, but it is not what I meant".

LMFAO, the Republican candidates will be great! A great comedic show and train wreck to watch.

Pleeeease!!!! Mr. Huckabee, is that all you got?..." Chris, see a doctor. Do it quickly. You're out of control. You're off your meds". This from a potential "Presidential candidate", who obviously doesn't know the difference between "Kenya" and "Hawaii". When you speak of Obama and Mau Mau's, are you appealing, to your racist base. Could we actually be wrong? You are not running for POTUS, you're actually campaigning to become the next "Imperial Wizard".

Wow, Huckabee is flaming out early. Haley Barbour will be next, I think.

Very perceptive, Gov Huckabee, very perceptive. Chrissy may not be on drugs but he certainly is high on his own ego.

What a lot of baloney! Huckabee is desparate. He is quickly digging himself
into a big dark hole.
