Fleischer Smacks Down Chris Matthews in Epic Battle over Bush Presidency and Iraq War - Video
Freedom's Lighthouse ^ | March 11, 2009 | BrianinMO

Posted on 03/12/2009 5:00:16 AM PDT by Federalist Patriot

Here is video of an incredible shootout tonight between Hardball's Chris Matthews and former White House Press Secretary under President George W. Bush, Ari Fleischer. The video is a 16 minute wide-ranging battle over the Presidency of George W. Bush, particularly over the Iraq War and the Economic Crisis. Again and again, Ari Fleischer corrects and generally "smacks down" Matthews for his dishonest and over-the-top statements and accusations against President Bush. Fleischer did a magnificent job, and shows Matthews to be the partisan left-wing hack that he is. This is a classic . . . . . (Watch Video)

Channel surfing last night I caught Ari slapping Chrissy silly.

One of the last things Chrissy said was to presume to speak for "... the American People ..." I recoil when left-loon nitwits claim to speak for me.

At least Fleischer isn’t a turncoat like that weasel McClellan. Man that Matthews is a bucket mouth.

Fleischer’s being doing a good job pointing out the double standard of the media. Matthews is just infuriating! Still watching. Why couldn’t have Zell followed through with that duel?!?

That Matthews is blaming the danger coming from Iran as Bush’s fault for removing Saddam Hussein from power.....was sickening and ugly.

That no doubt is the O talking point on their having to deal with iran.

Chris actually admits to being a democrat shill during this video. Right near the beginning, he makes a comment to Mr. Fleischer about the condition the economy was in when “your party” turned things over to “us”.

He actually said “us”.

Case closed.

Over 300 million Americans and Matthews can’t get a million to watch. His approval rating is at an all-time low!

What he actually says is “..when your party left the country in our hands”.

So he said “our hands” NOT us.

Sorry about that.

If you didn’t post this, I would have. Ari stood up like a man to Chris Tingle. He called Matthews out on his lies and questioned his motive for lying. Matthews could only try to change the subject. It was beautiful.

The last comment did it for me as well. Frankly just from the standpoint of civility and manners, I wanted to smash Matthews right in the mouth. A bigger pompous blowhard would be hard to find in any party but the democrat party. Examples abound. Barney Frank, Chuck U Shumer, etc.

Since we took Saddam out, there is no buffer in the Middle East against Iran??????? You have to be kidding me??? Just WTF does the little pinko bitch Matthews think our troops in Iraq represent? This statement is the most ridiculous argument I have ever heard.

Words have meaning.

Chris Matthews believes that somehow having a talk show makes him an enlightened elected official when at best, Chris Matthews is nothing more than a ‘useful idiot’ to the ‘movement’.
