Some basic Matthews

[ladtx]

If this is verbatim, it's almost incoherent.

Matthews is just flat wrong. In fact, he's educated enough on the matter that I believe he is not just wrong, but is out and out lying.

[G.Mason]

Excuse me?

Imus? Matthews?

The mere title demands an apology!

[Sooth2222]

It's now the trendy thing to start drinking at 5AM before going on Imus???

[Pharmboy]

I cannot listen to either of them anymore...constantly constantly bashing the president in time of war. Dreadful.

Ok, because some country music song talks about payback that makes the President a liar. Wonderful logical conclusion. I guess next week the lyrics of country songs will be damning enough to file impeachment charges.

I don't believe I ever heard the President say that the Iraq war was because of 911.

[Ooh-Ah]

Matthews also said he like McCain, Hagel and Biden!

Nice to see that David Gregory is sharing the hookah.

[mcvey]

This is absolutely verbatim.

It is incoherent and it is just--wierd. I only posted one quote--this is the shortest of the raves that Matthews was on.

Friday March 24, 2006
Imus speaks to MSNBC's Chris Matthews about the decision to go to war in Iraq.

Imus: "I forgot who said this, it could have been Tom Friedman or, and I always thought that after September 11th, the administration wanted, maybe they always wanted to go to war with Iraq or whatever, but they wanted to demonstrate to the Muslim community and the Muslim world that we were not going to take that and that we were going to strike back at somebody and they picked what they thought was going to be the easiest target, they thought as that moron at the CIA said that it was a slam dunk. They went in there and instead of being greeted as liberators as the Vice President told Tim Russert a week before this thing started, they got in there and the thing blew up on him and they have been there three years trying to get out."

MSNBC's Chris Matthews: "Well I am just going to stick to this point that the president led us in there with the background music of American culture. Everybody was led to believe that we were getting payback, we were avenging what happened on 9/11 and that we are going to get them. Vice President Cheney said we are going to attack terrorism at its base. Over and over the language was, this is where it came from, in fact most recently the President suggested that it was always the hot pursuit, like a new York police chase, we chased them back into their country. We pursued the terrorists back to Iraq and it's all nonsense. The reason there are terrorists in Iraq today like Zarqawi is we created the opening by blowing the country apart. From the beginning it's been not true. Now you can't prove motive and you can't prove somebody lies, but from the beginning everything about how they've got WMD's, they are a threat to us, they are going to bomb us with a nuclear weapon, this country is going to be an easy liberate, it's going to be a cake walk. As Cheney said as recently as ten months ago the insurgents are in their last throws. Everything that is said is not true. And right to the end here, here we are now and it's not a civil war and when Allawi the prime Minster is saying it is a civil war and here is the president quoting his own people that it's not a civil war. I mean the denial has been continuous. So you really can't count on the administration to tell you what is going on. That is just the fact. You've got to check it out. By the way, the president said this week that he wants the whole truth about what is going on in Iraq, the whole truth and that the media isn't telling the whole story. I'll tell you what we are not telling. We are not showing pictures of the twenty five hundred bodies coming back because they won't let us show the pictures. They don't want the whole truth out and that's the fact."

[OldFriend]

They are insane.

[Wasanother]

No one can point to any time where Bush or Cheney themselves said Iraq was involved with 911 but they did say that the ideology is the same as the terrorist who committed 911 and we must confront threats before they fully materialize.
Chrissy needs to learn to listen and learn to read.

[Ursus arctos horribilis]

I just caught the part where he was beating up on the Hitlery. She won't like what he said about where ever men own guns or boats, she is a complete nonstarter for prez.

[Mike Darancette]

The irrelevant talking to the conceptually challenged.

[YaYa123]

and one more thing! Matthews is the most arrogant prick on tv. He thinks he's the smartest guy around, proven by this: "MSNBC's Chris Matthews: "I think the president made a big mistake this week, and maybe I'm the only one that caught it" LOL at his arrogance!! He's the only one who caught it?

This really is typical Matthews, he's all about scoring points to win false arguments. He uses cheap imagery tricks and word games, distorts the truth until it's not even part of the discussion, so he can pretend he won the debate.

in this instance Matthews goes for Bush's jugular. Matthews has always said Bush's finest moment was on the rubble heap in New York City, with the bullhorn, threatening our enemies. It doesn't surprise me at all that now Matthews would try to tarnish that triumphant moment for Bush, twist it into some kind of indictment that Bush lied to us about extracting payback.

[Proud Conservative2]

Maybe someone should tell chrissy that Darryl Worley did not collaborate with Bush on that song. In fact maybe they can also tell him to STFU!
