Matthews Dredges Up Old Bush Lines to Offset Stark
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 10/19/2007 3:54:01 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

A few days after 9-11, President Bush, in an impromptu moment on the White House lawn, referred to the war on terrorism as a crusade. What does that have to do with the vile claim Rep. Pete Stark (D-Calif.) made this week that Pres. Bush sends our soldiers to Iraq to have their heads blown off for his "amusement"?

Nothing that I can see. But on this afternoon's "Hardball," Chris Matthews dredged up that and a couple other statements from the president's past and staged a segment asking whether they were worse than Stark's line. Note the graphic in the screencap, in which MSNBC absurdly asks "who should apologize, Rep. Stark or Pres. Bush?"

it’s a shame that the only time Matthews was bitch slapped on tv was by a democrat not a republican.

There ain’t but about 7 or 8 men in congress with balls and 2 probally have breasts as well.

sad times

Boy you got that right. No way I'm watching that video. I've gotten so angry with these leftist media hacks that I would probably punch my monitor if I watched it. Ain't happn'in.

In to debate this contrived comparison were Air America host Stephanie Miller...

It couldn’t be that Ed Schultz was unavailable because he was too successful.

Kevin Miller was a morning host in my market for awhile. He’s kind of a weenie. Though the linked video had no comment from him, I’m guessing he wasn’t there for a “full throated defense of conservatism”.

The left’s derangement is starting to get dangerous.

Chris Matthews must have some naked pictures of someone to still be on the air for MSNBC.

It is very evident he has some sort of derangement problem, maybe early dementia.

He has in the last 4 years gotten so bad, I don't even watch him for entertainment sake

At one time he was a very bright articulate, though mildly partisan journalist. Today he is a sick man, that needs help.

In fairness, Kevin made a very energetic defense of the president. He did fine.
