Of course, that headline comes as no shock to anyone who has ever had the misfortune of catching his “work” on MSNBC.
Now Chrissy says that we really just need to get to know the other side. They aren’t “evil,” they just have a different perspective.
Four years after 9/11 and the “crazy zeitgeist” that permeated the United States, most Americans have still not learned to know their enemies instead of just hating them, U.S. political journalist Chris Matthews says.
In a speech to political science students at the University of Toronto yesterday, the host of the CNBC current affairs show Hardball had plenty of harsh words for U.S. President George W. Bush, as well as the political climate that has characterized his country for the past few years.
“The period between 9/11 and Iraq was not a good time for America. There wasn’t a robust discussion of what we were doing,” Matthews said.
“If we stop trying to figure out the other side, we’ve given up. The person on the other side is not evil — they just have a different perspective.”
He said Bush squandered an opportunity to unite the world against terrorism and instead made decisions that have built up worldwide animosity against his administration.
Just a difference of opinion, isn’t it, Chrissy?
A gentlemens disagreement, I suppose.
I suppose you’re right. We should just agree to disagree.
