Amen brother. This cannot be said enough. We are in the spot where we are because of people like Chris Matthews and Peter Jennings and on and on.
I saw Matthews talking about profiling about a week ago, in a discussion with Forrest Sawyer. I thought Sawyer was going to faint. He was looking like, "Shouldn't we pull the plug on this and switch back to something else." Like someone was using foul language or hateful words.
I couldn't believe Matthews either. What a hypocrite. And Sawyer rightfully questioned him to the effect of, "Well Chris, how can we do this profiling you suggest against only one group, Arabs, and yet it won't apply to blacks, for example, when police are looking for a rapist or a murderer"
And Matthews had some twisted logic on why profiling could apply to TERRORISM and not to RAPE or MURDER!!! The inconsistency and hypocrisy was hilarious. Typical knee-jerk liberalism. And I emphasize the JERK.
Perhaps it would be hilarious if it were not so dangerous.
