Matthews Feels Your Heat, Says He Was “Misunderstood”

[samhsarah]

MATTHEWS: Why is he doing it? Why is he trying to track what he picks up in the internet and from the media as the lingo of the left in America, like Moore? Why would he start to talk like Moore? People misunderstood what I said last night. I think he’s getting some advice from people, he’s getting some lingo, some wordage that he hears working in the United States about this thing for war profiteers and he’s jumping on every opportunity. Is that what you are saying Joe?

Let MSNBC know how you feel about that non-apology: [e-mail] or [phone]

Original letter with responses :

An Open Letter to Chris Matthews

To Chris Matthews:

Yesterday, you compared Osama Bin Laden to Michael Moore. Michael Moore is an American filmmaker. Osama Bin Laden is a terrorist who murdered three thousand Americans. This type of McCarthyite smear has no place in American journalism, let alone on a major TV network.

You owe Michael Moore, and the American public you serve as a journalist, an apology.

MSNBC doesn't allow public feedback on its web site. This blog does. Please keep commentary civil, but do let Chris Matthews know what you are thinking.

1. What if we just ignore it

maybe they will go away.

9. Umm....that's the path John Kerry took regarding

the swiftboaters and we see how firmly their meme took hold.

No ignoring these people will not make them go away.

2. Typical non-apology: I'm sorry you are so stupid you misunderstood.

Which he compounds by once again putting Osama and dems on the same side.

Why doensn't he say this: Bush is a fuckup, and there's two types of people in the world, those who know Bush has done a shitty job re Iraq and admit it, and those who know Bush has done a shitty job in Iraq and don't admit it. The fact that only Bush and a handful of rightie backers refuse to admit it merely makes him a liar in an area that Osama can tell the truth. Tha'ts all.

4. He was NOT misunderstood

The fucker went right back to supporting his bullshit Dems = terrorists meme by going back to Joe Scarborough on the subject.

Fuck Matthews.

Typical Nixonian crap--what a phuckwad!

6. Tweety is Mis-employed

And his ego is often mis-taken for intelligence.

8. Matthews was NOT "misunderstood".

He knew exactly what he was saying. Also, Chris continued with dead intern Joe with their bashing of the Democrats, and again comparing us to the terrorists. :argh:

Bastard!

10. What size audience does the Tweety Turd have?

Is it even as high as 200,000 a night? That's so minute that anything he says has about as much impact as what I have to say in my living room.

11. you were not misunderstood, you were wrong to compare Americans with OBL
