Reply #96: He has one of the best pundit shows on TV, and sometimes I even like him. [View All]

I like him because he knows politics. Many people and pundits know how they feel about things, know 'which side' they fall on etc., but people like Matthews and Chuck Todd and Pat Buchanan actually know politics, as in the recent history of the 10th House district in X state, and where demographics are bumping up against reapportionment strategies, and how issue A will divide the Rs in which state in which year. And how it's all happened before in some variation.

These days I often disagree with him, but there have certainly been many times when he hit one out of the park. His anti-Iraq war stance was the most vocal and unequivocal of any MSM person I heard.

September 1, 2002 - "So I'll say it: I hate this war that's coming in Iraq. I don't think we'll be proud of it. Oppose this war because it will create a millennium of hatred and the suicidal terrorism that comes with it. You talk about Bush trying to avenge his father. What about the tens of millions of Arab sons who will want to finish a fight we start next spring in Baghdad?

Well, that's it for now. You know where I stand." - Chris Matthews, San Francisco Chronicle

And he shreds Michelle Malkin here, like nobody in the MSM ever does, though they all should.
