Chris Matthews with the doof quote of the week. Yes, he actually said this:
MATTHEWS: And I think we have got to get serious about catching terrorists, not just catching weapons. I‘m waiting for the terrorist who knows kung fu or something that gets on an airplane without a weapon. God knows what that is going to be like.
Everybody was Kung Fu fighting. Those cats were fast as lightning.
Hey Tweety. Gone to any movies lately?
Brain Dead media indeed.
What is your conceptual, continuity?
It takes a special kind of insanity to come up with something so retarded as this. The sad part is that his viewers will actually embrace it.
so much for Kung-fu, Matthew's really now!
Goodnight, Frau Blücher
With friends like this who needs enemy's?
Scared of someone giving them a kungfu chop!!
we'll need to clone Bruce Lee and put replica's on every flight, carrying nunchucks.
I'm tired of all these (expletive) ninja's on this (expletive) plane!!!!
This will be the winning quote from the new hit movie, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Whimpering Matthews."
Now if only Hollywood would make it. If not then contact Jackie Chan. We dont need no stinkin' snakes on a plane, we got Kung Fu, and Matthews too!
Radix Omnium Malorum Avaritia
We have to get serious about bobbleheads having brains before opening mouth.
"Let's talk dirty to the animals"
Chrissy musta had a Gi Joe with Kung Fu grip along with his (Klaus) Barbie collection when he was a pup
No surprise. Other than Maddow and sometimes Olbermann, MSNBC is a third rate joke of a network.
It's gonna be like 299 people laughing at the idiot going EEEEEAAAAHHHHGGGGHHH!
"The streets of our country are in turmoil. The universities are filled with students rebelling and rioting. Communists are seeking to destroy our country. Russia(INSERT CURRENT BOOGEY MAN) is threatening us with her might, and the Republic is in danger. Yes - danger from within and without. We need law and order! Without it our nation cannot survive." - Adolf Hitler, 1932
The arrogance, that because you're offended by something, no one should be exposed to it is offensive.
Change the channel, don't go. But don't tell me how or what to think.
speech given by gw for the patriot act, doesn't it.

With this thread. At this time. In the morning. Possibly before coffee.
The title here is a direct invitation to post a link to a gob-awful pop song from decades ago, and you go for ninja vampires, ysb?
Fine. I'll do it myself.

When he is recently ripping Ron "Wandering Eye" Christie a new one, he's good, very good. Pretty much most of the other times, he's a complete tool. I think he has some kind of dissociative disorder.
classic tweety moment, where his "news coverage" somewhat overlaps with boyhood fantasies amidst uncontrollable drooling.
"State of the Art". You should be thinking "wow man he's smart, this Chris guy has the highest IQ of any human on the world.
Uh, sure.
Tweety is just channeling his inner Chuck Norris.
lol

and remind the Preznit of Amurica we're running out of fries and burrito coverings.
This quote in context is not so far out in left field. I don't think. I don't think he was actually saying to be very afraid of Kung Fu fighters. It's funny but not all that weird. In context.
But we saw them on the monkey bars training.
Scary
What is your conceptual, continuity?
Everyone knows that martial artists are at their best when they have an aisle 1-1/2 feet wide with multiple obstacles and people.
I think Mathews should find a world-ranked fighter and stage a simulation. I say the guy lasts less than five seconds before he's subdued.
Surely at least one of the other passengers would have stayed in a Holiday Inn the night before so they'll know what to do.
Thanks for the chuckle.

... ever board a plane with explosives up their ass we will all have to get a colonoscopy on the airport security line... don't laugh the TSA is that
stupidincompetent.bin Laden is still laughing his ass off, he is winning... we will NEVER win this "war" because there is no winners in ideology.
We just lost the Iraqi peoples hearts minds and trust because of a U.S. judge throwing out the charges on the people involved in the Blackwater massacre... yes it was a massacre... it's not rocket science why people hate us.
"Tell the pilot to crash this plane or I will karate chop the flight attendant!"
Imagine a Kung-Fu terrorist with a tank... just shooting and jump-kicking everything they see! Terror!
He's a creepy, moronic POS.
A terrorist with snakes on a plane!
I guess everybody should get their arms and legs tied before boarding a plane.
shhhhhh!!
.... but years ago I was on a flight from Nashville to Reno and sat behind Andre the Giant (yes THAT Andre the giant of Princess Bride fame) He took up three seats his head hitting the luggage compartments above him, sweat poured (in rivers) off his neck his hands were as big as dinner plates and you could just tell he was a powerful powerful man. He seemed a nice fellow, but the whole way all I could think was - what if this guy suddenly goes berserk in this plane - we're all done for. Scared the CRAP out of me - but then i am a nervous flyer anyway.
p.s. Edgar Winter was on the flight too, and we just beat the biggest snowstorm to hit Reno in years - it was a scary (but COOL and memorable) flight to say the least!
Oh, sure, you laugh now but just wait 'til it happens.
I seen a movie, that is to say, I saw a movie where these kung fu fellers were flying around, jumpin' all over the place. What would happen if one of these kf terr'rists was sittin' in the back of the plane and then went flyin' up the aisle, kung fuin' the flight attendants along the way?
Then who would be right?
Keep at it Chris, yer keepin' us all safe, so we don't have to.
... terrorists with a 'kung fu grip' are of concern is that it highlights the absolute stupidity of years and years of confiscating nail clippers and Swiss Army knives and other 'sharp objects.'
So REINFORCE and LOCK the cockpit doors, so that all your kung fu finesse is useless. If someone gets up and tries to physically assault a flight attendant, they'll get tackled by the passengers.
Kung fu makes no difference when the terrorist has six inches of smoldering high explosives between his legs.
... Tweety makes an excellent point. The TSA and Co. are effectively morons when it comes to transportation security... they simply react to whatever the latest terrorist attempt has been, making our security completely dependent upon these groups using the same tactic more than once. We have to take our shoes off because of Richard Reid... we can't bring liquids on the plane because of the shampoo bomb BS... and now we're panicked about how best to find underwear bombs. If these groups come up with another way to attack us, aside fromt he methods listed above, we're screwed.
Tweety is right - we need to get smart about finding terrorists instead of looking for weapons on innocent citizens.
yeah, but it looks like they're actually doing something when people are inconvenienced.
I think some of the commenters (as well as me) have been inspired by his statement:
Stop the terrorists before they even reserve a ticket or book the trip, don't worry about screening them while they get on the plane. All it would take is a scenario akin to Executive Decision, wherein the food crew sneaks the weapons on board, and the terrorists only have to board as regular passengers...
If someone should make it on who could threaten the crew with impovised weopans (broken wine bottle from first class? Broken plastic shim, or a garrot (sp)) then what will screening look like for the grandfathers out there in wheelchairs trying to get on board proving their hands are not lethal weapons...
Of course the counterpoint is: how can we know who the terrorists are if they are on their first "mission" and don't have a record or established name on the no fly list? Better methods of intelligence gathering and action before hand, without using torture as fake security theater either.
I'd like to speak as a Martial Artist and point out how this is, in no uncertain words, a very, very terrible theory.
1. The cockpit. Long as that cockpit door is secure, no amount of Kung Fu, Taekwondo, Muay Thai, Krav Manga, or your Martial Art of choice is going to break down that door.
2. Numbers. I don't care how awesome you are, there are over 40 people on that plane, and all they have to do is sit on you, or grab you from multiple angles, and you're done.
3. Space: There is nothing some Kung-Fu terrorist could know that will give him any advantage in the confined space of an airplane. Yes, there are arts that specialize in close-combat techniques. No, they will not do him any good when two angry civilians or flight attendants come at him from two directions with haymakers.
4. Air Marshals: There is a lot, however, that these guys know about fighting in Air Planes. Why? BECAUSE THEY TRAIN FOR IT. They also have, again, about 40 people willing to help them out. Kung-Fu terrorist doesn't.
Tweety, stop fearmongering please. There are valid threats to these airplanes, Kung Fu terrorists are not among them.
is what repubs do best. They have no other plan.
We should just train a bunch of guys like James Bond or Liam Neeson's character from "Taken" and put one on each plane. Those guys can fly through the air without a plane! Except that 8 of them just got blown up in Afghanistan.
Wattaya think, Chris?
"Someday somebody related to some of these sufferers, these victims, these collaterally damaged souls, may try to kill you. And I have to tell you, I think you’ll have it coming." - Christopher Cooper
Everyone boarding an airplane should be bound, tied, and hooded.
After all, fists can be a deadly weapon. So can a head-butt, biting, kicking, and tackling.
We'd all be a lot better off if we'd just allow them to bound, tie, and hood us before the flight.
Ryu, Ken, Chun Li, Scorpion, Sub-Zero and all of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Off the plane now!
NOBODY 2012
Has anyone in the media noticed yet the common thread is that they commit suicide? That they are Martyrs. do you suppose the Kung-Fu master is hoping the other passengers will tear him apart limb from limb after he applies the death grip on some of them?
"Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob"

oooooooooh - limb from limb! call me a sicko but i have always wanted to see if that was possible!
Must be the dionysian in me!
My old sensei Malcolm was a former Vietnam tunnel rat with several black belts in various forms of karate and Korean martial arts. He was barely five foot three, but he could kick me on the top of my head (I'm 6'3") before I saw it coming.
If he was loose on an airliner, he could kill as many people as necessary until he took control and did whatever he wanted. If there was an air marshal on board, he would need to shoot from more than 30 feet away... or Malcolm would take his gun away and sissy-slap him with it.
Keep me away from those kung-fu fighters...
Yeah I'm sure they can perform a nice roundhouse kick in the aisle of a typical jet airliner.

Tweety, have you never heard of the old Jedi Mind Trick? Jeez, you really need to keep up. "These are not the media you're looking for." "Move along." For every Bishop he smacks down he does a hundred of these silly things. Or, as we used to say in the Navy, a thousand "Atta Boys" are negated by one "Aw Shit!"
showing his true frightened repub color again.
They disgust me how fearful they are, how little courage they have. They see evil in every shadow.
It's sad really.
That's after ROFL. What could someone do to a plane without a weapon that causes some kind of explosion (including a handgun) that could penetrate the fuselage? Maybe the attacker could get to a cabin door and open it with the lever, which would cause a massive pressure loss and down the plane? Is that possible?
Even if it is possible, the attacker would have to fend off the bum rush that others here have mentioned.
The cockpit would seem to be inaccessible since it is locked from the inside nowadays. Even if someone from the cockpit has to use the lavatory, I'm pretty sure they close the cockpit door behind them and then it's locked again from the inside right away by the other pilot, so it's only open for a few seconds.
Yeah, the Tweety scenario seems pretty far-fetched. Which raises the question: what are the qualifications to have one's own program on a cable "news" network?
The fear that many people have of terrorist seems to be based on a certain perception. The terrorist are not criminals, or just a bunch of fanatics.........they are supervillans. That is why some are terrified at the thought of them bringing the Guantanamo prisoners here, super villans are always escaping and causing more harm, and of course supervillans can easily kick your ass with their Kung Fu, they're dangerous and deadly.
Osama bin Laden is Lex Luthor, the Joker, Dr. Doom, the Green Goblin ect, ect, ect all rolled into one.

That was a good one.
I was sitting next to a Japanese, I think, family, on a flight from Orlando to Chicago -- they didn't speak much English, and my Japanese consists of "Huh?" -- but I helped with the kids and luggage and pointing them to the information desk. From the man's belt and patch, I don't think he'd have any trouble taking out some movie-martial artist.
Matthews, on the other hand, would probably have trouble fitting into the aisle of a 737. Maybe he could stop a hijacker by sitting on him.
