Chris Matthews: Blithering Idiot
November 21st, 2005 at 2:47 pm by Preston Taylor HolmesOf 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.
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.

I watched that yesterday and said to Wife:
“God, that bastard needs a bullet.”
WIFE: ” Be quiet…he’s a celebrity and you could never even get close.”
ME: “Is that a bet? About me getting PeopleMag coverage? How ’bout whacking his ass flat? You’re gonna toss that card? I’ll play it. Shit, I’m Irish on Staten Island…I play that shit every goddamned day.”

Dude…
Everyone on the good side of the blogsphere is all over this today. Matthews is a coward and a traitor. He is an enemy within our own nation that has a pathetic TV program that is watched by few.

I found it on Drudge – I figured I’d be one of about a million blogs that jump on the bastard.
I really wish we could go back in time and trade Matthews for Daniel Pearl. The world would actually be a better place if that trade had been made.

I’d like to hear that fat bastard Matthews explain to the guy with the knife why cutting his throat wouldn’t be a good deal for the common weal.

About Chris Matthews Criticizing America in Canada
And if you doubt for a single second that Matthew’s remarks aren’t characterized as truth and used against America, the current administration as propaganda, and ultimately to recruit terrorists, go here to see how his remarks are already being used…

Was he talking about American’s vs. terrorists; or the debate between Left vs. Right within America?

The only thing we need to know about the other side is their coordinates.
