MSNBC host Chris Matthews on Wednesday compared tea party activists to "hoodlums in the '30s in another country" and asked when they will start wearing uniforms.
Matthews made the comment during a "Hardball" segment on the MoveOn.org activist who was stomped on by a Rand Paul supporter earlier this week. Matthews said the behavior from a Republican supporter is "kind of stuff we saw from hoodlums in the '30s in another country I will not mention."
"What is this behavior by American political activists where they now arrest people, stomp them?" he asked. "These are supposed to be people who are just good old American tea partiers."
Matthews continued his rebuke of tea party activist by highlighting a recent incident in Alaska where security for GOP Senate nominee Joe Miller briefly detained a blogger.
"I gotta wonder when people are gonna start wearing uniforms," he said. "I mean they've got an army out there in Alaska of militia people.
"You've got these guys going around acting like street thugs," the MSNBC host added. "I mean it isn't far from what we saw in the thirties, where all of a sudden, political parties started showing up in uniform."
