Quist hits MSNBC trifecta: Maddow, Schultz, Matthews

CD1 candidate Allen Quist got another MSNBC mention last night: Following clips of his Dec. 7 address to southern Minnesota Republicans on Rachel Maddow‘s and Ed Schultz‘s shows comes an appearance on Chris Matthews’ “Hardball” last night.

“I think we’re pushing the extremes to the utter extreme and we keep lowering the bar,” said the Daily Beast’s Mark McKinnon in response to a video where Quist said the “battle” against liberals was bigger than that against terrorism. “I think a lot of this is about being as outrageous as you can to get attention from the media, and here we are providing it.”

Susan Page of USA Today: “‘Welcome to YouTube, Mr. Quist.’ He may not have thought this little affair he was talking to in Minnesota was going to get this kind of attention.”

Here’s the segment; the section on Quist starts at 3:26:
