Chris Matthews Just Witnessed For Clark's Position On Iraq/Al Qaeda! |
|
Just now on Hardball... he poined out that the NYTimes article today was misleading and that Clark has been consistent!
He also had brief footage of Clark from today confirming this.
I think Chris sees Clark winning and wants to hitch his wagon.
Note: I don't hate Matthews or Russert the way many do here. Just wish they'd go after the GOP the way they do Dems.

Last summer, he told Clark he hoped the General would be around to debate Iraq.

just wish they didn't hold fire with Republicans.
But whatever... Chris told the truth at LEAST this once.
And by the way, Chris also held Clark's feet to the fire on the "got fired/retired early" issue.

17. So only if someone agrees with you all the time |
|
are they worthy of your praise?
If Matthews acts like a whore, call him on it. I will and have done the same.
Politics is dealing with people who agree with you some of the time and don't most of the time.
You are rightly upset at the direction of the country, lets work together once a nominee is chosen to change it.

7. Any regular viewer of CNN would know Clark's position on Iraq/Al Qaeda. |
|
Edited on Mon Jan-12-04 07:38 PM by Tatiana
Clark received numerous calls from the Bushistas trying to shut him up when he was commenting on the fallacy of this war.
All anyone has to do is read his testimony before the Armed Services Committee in Sept. of 2002 and they would know what his position was.

Here's a slogan for you:
Vote Clark!
He's been validated by the worst anti-Democratic media whore in the entire universe!!!

Clinton attacker, an obnoxious Hillary-smearer, a true monster of limbaugh-esque proportions.
His MO is not so much ideological as Rush's is, but is bottomlessly cynical and smarmy.
He is the face, and voice, of smug, value-less, corporate evil.
If you want to embrace him, that's fine, but you ahve been warned.

If you are in a fight, and someone unexpectedly shows up on your side, bat in hand, the natural tendency is to say "Howdy, pal!"
As you know, it does not bother me much to support mixed things, or accept help from mixed characters, but there is no need to change one's view of the mixture. A bad man is helping: that is good....

You may be sure the wretch has not improved in my eyes, and cannot, no matter what service he performs.
To cite a parallel example, even that wretch Hitchen's expose of Kissenger avails him naught, set against his enthusiastic support of the '98 Coup.

is not that Tweety has suddenly become a great guy - he hasn't. If you were to praise Clark on some point it would have considerable credibility with me (similarly for Tweety). I am a Clark supporter. When I say that I feel indebted to Dean because he spoke out early against bush, you can assume that I'm not going out of my way to push him.

On the previous segment, did you see Clark's rep ask Dean's rep why (paraphrase) Dean sought input from Clark re: the Iraq war issue? Hmmnn, I wonder if they'll bring that up in the campaign. :)

40. I'd agree that Matthews isn't |
|
a friend of the left although he has a soft spot for some democrats especially Ed Rendell. I think the ex-liberal Matthews went through a mid-life conversion a la Shrub: he quite drinking and became born-again religious. I suspect that motivates a lot of his thought these days.
On one contrarian note, I have to add that what passes for the "left" in many discussions here at DU is a relatively narrow band or so it appears to me and probably falls far short of the votes required to win a general election.
If you are going to use Kucinich, for example, as the positional litmus test for left-wing purity, then you are going to have to be happy as an outspoken opposition party. Of course that's my opinion but I can't think a single election year when that would not have been the case.

59. As a general rule, any winning strategy is based on a COALITION |
|
A merging of constituencies.
In the DP's case, this would be a center-left coalition, where the interests of diverse groups are aligned into a common agreed-upon candidate and/or platform, strategy, etc..
As a Dean supporter, I am not supporting a "fringe-left" candidate, however "fringe" you may find my progressive-leftist poltics to be.
I am an ABB voter, and will support the Dem candidate.
That said, this is in theory at least a "left-wing," progressive board--it DEFINES ITSELF as such in its own descriptors!!!
If this is still the case (which seems increasingly in doubt), then it seems to me that passionate rejection of reactionary pigs like Tweety is not only to be expected, but encouraged..and I shall add that in all my months and years here, I have NEVER seen anyhting but harsh words for this whore on DU--until today,

46. Was Clark consistent before or after... |
|
He wrote an editorial praising Bush and Blair's resolve, and predicted good things in the region do to their awesome show of force?

49. Before Matthews decided to hate the Clinton's, |
|
he actually was a Democratic-leaning talking head. He's a turncoat just like George S.

50. We'll Take His Support |
|
So would most Dean supporters, but then their candidate is so damn unlikeable that the media will probably Gore him as bad as Gore.
Clark, OTOH, will be able to weather the whore media much better than any other Dem. It's one of his strengths.

51. And you may have it, my friend...and by the way... |
|
Does your name mean you switched from a peacenik to an Iraq war supporter?
If so, why don;t you support Kerry?

56. Maybe in a PM--this thread is too contentious... |
|
I am not normally this pissed off, but as you can see, I REALLY hate that pig, Tweety.
And I don't normally hate Clark or Kerry, I am just getting sick of all the attacks.

65. Chris defended Clark against the article in NYT |
|
Basically said NYT story took Clark's comment out of context and then tried to set the record straight.

63. Glad Tweety called his fellow whores on this |
|
But he's NOT our friend, despite the fact that some fellow Clark supporters are praising him. He's also said nice things about Dean before, and got similar applause from Dean supporters. Matthews is more of a political opportunist...cheers on anyone who he feels would be the next Camelot.

75. Then why did Lehane come across as such an idiot on Tweety's show? |
|
Because he really did.
I'd never seen the young man nor heard him speak, but he came across as some kind of idiot.

apparently does pretty good work behind the scenes but I cringe whenever I see him out in front of the media and I'm a Clark supporter. I think he has better face people in the camp.

86. Well, As A Woman I Would Say Paula Is Not Sexy |
|
but certainly not as difficult a countenance as Judy Woodruff whom my last boyfriend swore was a cross dressing man.
Trying to find a sexy male mediawhore.................... and I come up blank. Tried really hard too.........
Why are there no sexy male mediawhores? :(

90. I was quoting that stupid, short-lived CNN promo... |
|
And I can certainly agree that she is prettier than Woodruff, but she's younger, so it's not fair.
Woodruff came from a decent news show--the Lehrer show on PBS, and upon arrival at CNn, immediately turned into an idiot-whore.
Her "moderation" of the Dem debate a few months back was pathetic and incompetent.
Zahn is smarter thatn Judy, or rather, better manufactured. She is pure, postmodern, corpo-fascist evil.
ZIP!!!

87. Hey, everybody! Fact is, Tweety wants * gone, & knows Clark can do it! |
|
Let's now start discussing why * is such a revolting figure to the media whores that they are turning against him in support of the most viable Democratic challenger. That issue is huge.

89. Defending a Clark statement |
|
isn't exactly the same thing as wanting to oust Shrub who Matthews voted for in 2000. I wouldn't be doing any handstands since he's perfectly capable of slamming Clark tomorrow.
Do recall that he gave the platform to a couple of generals to echo the Shelton smear earlier this fall.
