JUNE 30, 2006: Chris Matthews: "Harball" tellevision show: MSNBC
When referring to "a really bad man" or "terrorist" at Guatanamo Bay Prison, Chris Matthews used a fictional "mafia" character reference "Luca Brasi" to whom he called "Luca Bratsi" of the movie "The Godfather" fame instead of calling the person perhaps OSAMA BIN LADEN, KIM JUNG IL, JOSEF STALIN, ADOLF HITLER or any other political terrorist of the 20th or 21st century. Nevertheless, Chris Matthews chose a fictional "mafia" slurring character reference from a movie. Chris Matthews, that is an Italian ethnic slur. Please stop using those metaphors. You are much to intelligent.
MATTHEWS: But what happens now if we‘ve got a real—let‘s assume—not your client who is a driver for bin Laden. Let‘s talk about we‘ve got a Luca Bratsi down there somewhere in Guantanamo, a real bad guy who systematically and cruelly killed a bunch of Americans.
