Chris Matthews on hardball was fucking with Joaquin Castro about being a civil libertarian and was it appropriate to show up at his home in the morning and put Stone in cuffs when they could have just told him to show up at the courthouse. I thought that was the racist underpinning of that message even though I don't think Matthews intended it that way. They don't catch someone selling dope on the corner and tell them to show up at the courthouse. They cuff them. But Roger Stone who helped fuck the United States of America deserves more respect than that?
