Who does Mr. Matthews think he is? I doubt it would be too hard to find clips of Mr. Matthews oooing & aaahing about some bunker buster attack. Chris Matthews goes in whatever direction the wind blows.



Know your enemy.

1. Right on!

You got that right. In fact I remember when Bush landed on the carrier - Matthews was beside himself with joy, gushing over how macho the war criminal looked in his fake uniform.

[Lasher]

8. Ah yes, who can forget Tweety's obsession with Junior's mission accomplished stunt?

Except for Tweety himself. In this video he has the guts to say, "Some of us yelled" (against the invasion of Iraq). I don't remember him doing that even once in those days.

But I do remember his obsession about "the president's amazing display of leadership," and on and on, ad nauseum.

Trip down the Mission Accomplished memory lane here

It was a little later on, after Lord Vader committed treason by leaking Valerie Plame's identity, that Tweety said Junior sometimes "glimmers" with a "kind of sunny nobility."

Tweety is doing now what he did then: Saying anything he can come up with to keep a few people watching his TV show.

[Can of Whoop-ass]

2. I remember

that! He had all of FOX News thinking he flew the jet on the carrier, himself.
Hannity had to be told 5,000 times he could not fly a "modern" warplane.
I doubt Bush could 'fly' anything. If he did as bad in school as some people allude to and he flunked out of Harvard Law School, what makes anyone believe he was a pilot?
I believe Bush was a grunt and was a fuel pumper. Rove made him the 'hero' of Vietnam. Also, how could he pass a physical? He was a coke addict and a drunk.

7. He flew...

...when he snorted coke.

10. Dukakis knew more about tanks...than Bush did about airplanes.

Dukakis actually served in the army...and was an Eagle Scout.

Amazing how republican propaganda makes lies=truth and truth=lies.

[A wise Man]

3. Don't forget....

Bush was AWOL....and never returned. THAT MAKES HIM A DESERTER FROM THE MILITARY!!!

[mazzarro]

4. What A Low Number!

77,000 people only? Is this just the number they can account for or does it include all the deaths caused by the war? I do still believe that well over a million people died in the Iraq war no matter how the numbers are manipulated. Chris was instrumental in helping to push the whole war thing into being and now he is having a buyer's remorse - albeit an insincere one at best!

[butterfly77]

11. +1

I followed what was/is going on in Iraq everyday and still get angry when I see the media trying to downplay the numbers as Matthews and many more lied their asses off and covered up the lies.

Tweety talked about the liberals as nutjobs and asshole bush like he was some damn hero,gushing and praising this mf as he stood with his bullhorn on what I saw as the graves or bodies of those who perished.

They told us the whole country was together and agreed with bush,they didn't ask me or my friends..

Yesterday,I went on youtube and watched old videos of Bush and the gang,then I got angry all over again watching that stupid -------

[baldguy]

5. He doesn't like the way the war was promoted.

But he was one of the head cheerleaders for it.

[hulka38]

6. I used to watch him every night back then

hoping that he would strongly question the obvious lies we were hearing everyday by the Bush administration because I had heard him hint at it and I knew he understood the truth. But for every show that he did this, there were two shows where he'd bash a lefty making the case that Bush and Cheney were lying. And he'd do this for months until the war became such a disaster politically and enough facts came out that he and MSNBC felt they could capitalize on the growing outrage. But watching him, if I didn't know the pressure he was under, I'd say he was schizophrenic. MSNBC is largely at fault for this because they made it clear that they would not stand behind their on air talent if they questioned the propaganda too hard. But it doesn't excuse Matthews part in the great deception. If he was interested in something other than his image he would write about his experience under pressure from his network and the administration and the larger picture of how terrible the news media is in America along with a real mea culpa for being part of the problem.

9. OK, late, but, still, this was good.

a sadly accurate comment on the grave and dangerous general consequences of our country's serial missteps over the last decade (or 3 decades, as I believe that things started to go wrong with the election of Reagan in 1980)

12. Fairness doctrine repealed in 1981. FD was instituted in 1949 to combat propaganda.

Once the Fairness Doctrine was repealed, it made propaganda profitable and made possible Limbaugh, FOX and the rest of the right wing trash that passes for media.
