Matthews: White House Staged Slain Marine Mom's Hug
NewsMax.com ^ | 2/3/05

MSNBC's "Hardball" host Chris Matthews suggested last night that the high point of President Bush's State of the Union Address - the emotional hug between grateful Iraqi voter Safia Taleb al-Suhail and Janet Norwood, mother of a Marine who died liberating her country - was staged by the White House.

The cynical host apparently first voiced his skepticism during a commercial break. His comments were immediately seized upon by "Hardball" guest, MSNBC contributor Pat Buchanan when the show returned.

With all of the good things that could be focused on he comes up with this? These people are obviously miserable and doomed as a party.

THIS SLEAZE BALL.... HAS JUST ABOUT HIT ROCK BOTTOM....I THINK IT STARTED SERIOUSLY WITH ZELL MILLER.... HE WAS TAKING A NOSE DIVE BEFORE THEN, BUT ZEV MADE US ALL REALIZE WHAT LIGHT WEIGHT THIS GUY IS. I MEAN "HARDBALL"? LET'S PLAY HARDBALL? CHRIS LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING....AND I HOPE YOU ARE READING WHAT WE ARE ALL SAYING IN THIS FORUM TODAY, AS YOU MIGHT LEARN SOMETHING. YOU COULDN'T PLAY HARDBALL WITH A CLASSROOM OF THIRD GRADERS...YOU'RE IDEA OF PLAYING HARDBALL IS TO RIDICULE SWIFTBOAT VETERANS WITHOUT READING THEIR BOOK, CHASTISING MICHELE MALKIN, ETC. ANN COULTER AND OTHERS MAKE MINCE OUT OF YOU LIKE ONE SWATS A FLY. I PREDICT THAT BY THE YEAR'S END YOU WILL BE ON SOME OTHER NETWORK...PROBABLY BEHIND THE SCENES... AND OF COURSE WE'LL HAVE TO ENDURE YOUR TELL ALL BOOK... THAT WILL BLAME CONSERVATIVE AND TRADIONALISTS IN THIS COUNTRY FOR YOUR DOWNFALL. BOTTOM LINE IS... YOU'RE A JERK...

The left assumes this was staged because they themselves have staged every public act since the Clintons rose to power.

He's used to dealing with Bubba.... who just happened to have a stack of stones on the beach so he could make a cross.

And also had American flags knocked over on some graves at Normandy so he could "happen upon them" and fix them.

of COURSE it was staged...and what's more, they weren't real people...they were androids created by Halliburton (do I really need a sarcasm tag?)

Simply not true...I saw the mother today on GMA and when Diane asked that question, she said no...she didn't even know that the Iraqi woman would be there.

Shamefull... absolutely shamefull.

First, Bush kills this woman's husband and then forces her (probably at gunpoint) to smile through the SOTU and lie about how staged it was!

Chris Matthews is a product of Democratic Party deception and of course he would assume this moving human moment to be "contrived"

We have Hollywood and the other phoney baloneys to thank for our cynicism - and Chris Matthews again proves how it diminishes our public discourse.

Let's ask Matthews if anyone in his family actually plays that monster grand piano pictured in his "Cathy Chris at home photo" shown elsewhere on Freepers.

Mathews was in the Peace Corps I believe in late 50's. He was stationed in the Congo. I bet that is where he became a communist.

DEMOCRATS HAVE NO MORALS, THEY HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO HANDLE FOLKS WHO DO.

That sentence alone explains just about every action, remark and attitude of the Dems.

I know one thing for sure, if my son was recently killed, weather defending his country, or in a car accident, or whatever, the last thing I would agree to is a "staged hug"! I don't care if it was with the Pope! A grieving mother is not going to make a skeptical of her son's death!
